I really enjoyed my lunch here at Santa Fe. I had the fish tacos. These tacos are big, overstuffed with fish, and messy. (Just the way I like it!) They were perfectly prepared and I got to sample three different house hot sauces plus their salsa. Everything was delicious. Service was exceptional. My server checked back frequently and was very friendly and cheerful. Inside you will find a fun cantina atmosphere. I was up the block getting a car repaired and had time to kill so decided to talk a walk. Since it was lunchtime and I was walking by Santa Fe, i checked Yelp and based on stars and reviews this seemed like a great restaurant! I heartily agree! I am looking forward to my next car service so I can duck out of the auto shop and come back to Santa Fe. read more

Santa Fe Restaurant - Tres Pescado tacos. - Mexican Near Me - Cathedral City, California

I would love to give it a good review because the Cook who I am sure was also the owner was so nice. Very nice staff. Very salty meat in the burrito. Could have been because it was the end of the day, but it was way too salty. The taste was fine. Also, when I order a supreme burrito I expect cheese and sour cream and maybe even avocado. The kid at the counter was nice but also had one earbud listening to his phone and one to me. Let's say I didn't get what I expected. Good area. Lots of places to eat. read more

It was pretty mid ‍ the service was on point but the food was skimpy just a little meat mostly vegetables read more

Santa Fe Restaurant - Fajitas - Mexican Near Me - Cathedral City, California

Great tasting seafood and other dishes offered music family atmosphere different beers

The food was very low quantity, but typical for the valley. I try not to go to Mexican restaurants because I tend to expect more as I travel to Mexico often just for the food. Waitress was alone with 25+ customers, on the phone and bussing tables. She was a one man wrecking crew. She gets 10 stars, the business is getting zero "0" stars for letting this happen on a Friday. I had three different plates, three different times and the food is not anything to write about. read more

Some great and very authentic Mexican food!! Served water and ice med tea right away without waiting. Atmosphere is fine...like a diner. Music is a little loud for the afternoon...but maybe I'm just old..lol! I had the Combo Santa Fe with chicken. Excellent!!! They could do better with the very small bowl of chips on the table. And most of them were broken into tiny pieces. But the entrees...they were excellent. read more

Service and food are both very good. Enjoyed the fajitas. The chips and salsa were good and salsa very hot, but good.

Our waitress was very friendly. We seen a stage I think some nights they have live music. This restaurant is Mexican authentic seafood. We had a ceviche appetizer that was so good and my partner has a fried fish and his daughter had carne Asada tacos. I had an octopus and fish dish with this red sauce. I forgot what it's called, but it was so fire. If you're ever visiting Palm Springs, I will definitely try this place out if you want to be away from the city just a little bit. read more

First time in a while a recommendation actually worked out. Happy dance. We sat at the bar. Decent choices of what you want to quench your thirst. They gave us chips and salsa right away, very pleasant. Got our drinks ordered the oyster shooters very tasty, I asked for shot of vodka on the side. The food came shortly after. Very pleased with everything we got, will definitely have to go back and try something different. The place was decent size looks like they can get busy. read more

Stopped in on Thanksgiving Day, at noon, and the place was 75% full. Three waitresses working, but service was not the fastest. The restaurant can be seen from Ramon Rd., but the entrance is on the back side. There's a small parking lot that's shared with several businesses, so it can be tight when they're busy. Large dining area and a small patio, which was not in use on the day we visited. DRINK: Full bar, however the Micheladas seemed to be the most popular drink of the day. I just had coffee, but no one was walking around providing refills, so I had to ask. They do have vanilla creamer, so that was a plus for me. FOOD: We received chips & salsa. The salsa was very flavorful, and interesting. They added corn niblets to it, which I've never seen before. For entrees, my wife had the Shredded Beef Flautas, which were topped with chunks of warm chicken and chilled pork meat. Again, an interesting preparation, but tasty. I had the Huevos Rancheros, which were topped with onions and peppers and a lite red sauce, rather than the heavier red sauce I'm accustomed to. My over-easy eggs were prepared perfectly. Rice, beans, and salad on the side were okay. Seems like a popular place. Might return one day. read more

I going to start with the bad. BEWARE, I found bones in my lamb taco (see picture). Since no dental issues resulted I will assume that it added flavor and move on. Besides the bones, the lamb street taco was excellent. Lamb was marinated in their sauces and took on a great flavor. Add onions and cilantro and it was great. Should also mention that the meat portion was sufficient for a street taco. Definitely not cheated with this. Only other problem was that I got it to-go so the tortillas soaked up a little too much juice. That's ok, came with a fork. I adventured further into the menu and ordered a carnitas quesadilla. Again, great flavor and plenty of meat. I was able to eat about half before I tapped out for the evening. It will be breakfast tomorrow. To drink I ordered Jamaica. After working outside all day I was thirsty. However I remembered after ordering that it is usually very sweet (at other places) to the point of adding a little water. Again, score one for Santa Fe. The drink was not as sweet so it goes down cold and easy. Minus the bones, a great meal considering I was just driving back to the room and just pulled into the eighth taco place I passed. Definitely worth a try if in the area. read more

Todo muy rico, las quesadillas de "masa" son de lo mejor. Es masa cruda, rellena y luego frita hasta tener algo parecido a una empanada. Se abre y las rellenan de lo que gustes. Yummy!!! read more

Me and My partner went to eat last night. the server that we got was so rude and unprofessional. she was ignoring my requests and would only pass by without saying anything shes around her late 40's she didn't even asked us if we needed anything else and brought the bill and she was expecting us to tip her and got upset and left when we asked the total. she left the machine with us and went to hide in the back . Otherwise the other workers seem very friendly. and Food was great. but won't be going back it was just a bad vibe and we like to eat in peace and enjoy it. read more

Great Mexican food, Seafood and menudo is our favorite! very nice servers. Clean restaurant. Lots of parking. Right off of Ramon

I went to this location many years ago. I remember a patchy looking stuff bear, in the corner. (I kinda liked it.) The bear is gone. For some reason, the place feels much larger. Went with three friends for dinner. Service was not bad. I may have asked for the wrong things. Everything that I wanted to order, they were out of. So, I ended up settling for some enchiladas. They were ok, but nothing to write home about. The chiles güeritos were frickin' delicious. Rather than being served with a little mayo and soy sauce, they had a nice drizzle of a spicy mayo. There was still some soy sauce, but they absolutely didn't need that. They were delicious. Some were spicy, some not. 10/10 would get those again. My cup was never empty. I very much appreciate that. Prices are not bad. Live music on weekends. Parking is awful, as there are so many speed bumps in the lot. read more

Amazing, from the moment I walked in. Loved the ambiance of the people, the workers, EVERYTHING! The band that was playing while I was here was amazing too. The food was incredible, exactly what I wanted. 10/10 would defined recommend and would come most definitely come again. read more

Well... I'd love to try this place and use the coupon certificate I have.... Kinda hard to do when you try to place an order over the phone and they can't understand you asking about a "taco salad" so they just hang up. I understand language barriers can be difficult to deal with but hanging up on a customer is never the way to handle it. Aug. 30,2024 called at 9:33 read more

More of a letdown than a uplifting experience I truly hate to say. I just love my ceviche or shrimp cocktail. Here I had fish ceviche and aquaChile's (shrimp ceviche with avocado). Just "meh" for flavors and a lot of the shrimp were raw! My partner had calabicita (squash) Gorditas. Her masa tortillas were underdone, gummy and overly salty. The salsa was strange too. It resembled that of store bought, but when the food came they brought out two syrup dispensers filled one with red and the other green. They were different than any I had ever had and nothing I'll be dreaming of for seconds. The best part was the flan. Not too rich and not to sweet. Truly a good desert. Lastly, the service was decent. Yet the inside of this place was just grimy and the bathroom had a definite problem! I'm not sure but it smelled unpleasant -- it's not my favorite place to return to for sure. read more

Amazing oysters! Service was great too. Next time we come we're getting their agua chile!

Last night to do patio dining before shutdown. Google maps got me messed up, going around circles. Called restaurant and they were helpful. Different menu, not atypical Mexican restaurant. Ordered chicken taco and beans for Mom, I had mixed fajitas. We also ordered a side of guac to go with chips. I ordered a mango margarita which was huge and tasted like mango but WAY TOO sweet. I could not drink it, switched it for a Modelo, out of Bohemia. Chips were yummy, as well as all sauces. Fajitas, the best I ever had except I would of liked more toppings, like cheese or guac? After chips and guac and beer, had one fajita and took the rest home. Still do look good. Mom wasn't impressed with chicken taco nut liked the beans. Would come back for fajitas!!! No ambiance but flavorful food. read more

Came in super busy but we sat and we're helped relatively quickly, nice clean establishment with plenty of seating available and spacey bar. The food at this place has always hit the spot and the drinks are some of the best in town. I usually get a regular Michelada but I tired the mango one this time, and it was good. The camaron Diablo was nice and spicy and the fish tacos and quesadillas the masa are always my go-to. Wish the server was bit more attentive but overall great dinner. read more

I've been here before last time for cocktail de camarones which was really good but this time around but on October 29 , 2023 around 4pm on a Sunday I ordered enchiladas which were spicier than anticipated and my server was non attentive that day didn't ask if my food was good or for a refill and also just took my plate without asking .she just didn't care so I gave her the same respect.I had to ask for another server for sour crème and refill and much kinder. They did comp the meal per my mom but I had left due a bad experience. read more

I love the food here! They are tucked away in a strip mall but everything is delicious and made to order. They are really nice too!

This is a quaint little place with true mexican flavor. It could use a spruce-up as its not the cleanest and the decor... well there is none. I ordered the Calabacita Gorditas. The masa was still doughy, but the filling was quite tasty despite being waaay over salted. The salsa that came with the chips was just okay. It was on the sweet side. When the entrees came, the server brought a red and green salsa. Both were quite good, though I wont crave it any time soon. The server was kind and attentive. I doubt I will be back. It was good, just not special. read more
