    Rainbow Margarita
    LAURA S.

    Nice neighborhood restaurant. Been here a couple of times and have been pleased with the food and service.

    Hands and drink up against my plate!
    Leanne P.

    Large welcoming space, so I thought. I had high hopes but should have gone with my gut and listened to the bad reviews!!! Bartender was too busy eating in back to take my order. Gent who brings out chips to tables was also eating around the corner licking his fingers. Waiter Johan made drinks at the bar and literally had his glasses and hands up against my plate of food! Fajitas were tasteless and WAY overcooked. If you think this is the epitome of authentic awesome food you are delusional!!!!! DO NOT waste your time or your money!!!!!

    Steak with rice and beans
    Joee L.

    We visited on a weekday and the restaurant was busy but not too busy so there was not a wait for a table. The service was quick and good. The food was pretty good, not the BEST but still enjoyable. We ordered a kids plate (chimichanga with rice and beans), steak with rice and beans and shrimp with rice and beans. Parking was really easy. The prices were on par with similar restaurants.

    Our party in a clean well decorated dining room.

    We arrived a little before 6 PM on a Saturday night. Our party of four was promptly seated at a large table. The server was there to take our drink order almost immediately. We were given ample time to scan the multiple page menu. Each of ordered something different. The food arrived in a remarkably small amount of time. It was piping hot and the presentation was appetizing. I cleaned my plate while my dining partners each took a too go container home. I thought that the portion size was more than adequate but not too much. The prices were very reasonable and the service was excellent. I have absolutely no qualms about recommending Santa Fe to all. I know that I will be returning.

    Last of the three carne asada tacos
    Misha K.

    Meh. Everything I bought had a simple "hint" of flavor. The chips and salsa were underwhelming. The chips hadn't been salted. The carne asada tacos I bought were mildly tasty and the rice and beans tasted salty -- not flavorful. In a pinch I'll return, but unlikely. It's NOT terrible, it's just...lacking true flavor. Sorry guys! The set up is great, spacious and inviting. I must say that.

    This is my 3rd time visiting. I celebrated my birthday last year with family. Awesome service and the food and staff are amazing. I would definitely highly recommend this place .# 1 Mexican food in dyer Indiana. Ambiance very nice great place to watch sports games.Carne Asada TacosFajita Taco SaladCombo Meals

    The steak is poor quality and the cheese is a blend Mexican cheese so not truly authentic the peppers were undercooked. The service was okay but could be improved. The ambiance was pretty good very mellowed.

    Skinny Margarita yum!
    Leslie L.

    The skinny Margarita was tasty, and the food was good too. When I get a burrito I'm expecting it to be the size of a football though. Pricier than most Mexican restaurants but I guess they have to pay for the flair. It is really nice in there. The guacamole was delicious too. Which is a big bonus. Waiter was attentive as he could be with the short staff.

The service has always been poor, going back to the days when they were in the Highland Ultra. Every location, old and new Lansing and Dyer the same way. Always been slow, never friendly. I went there from time to time because it tasted like the food I grew up with. I have reduced my visits over the years to about once a year. I went this time because it was on the way to my destination. I pre-ordered with a lot of time before my arrival. So the food was ready. The same sour lady mentioned in other reviews gave me my order and took the payment. I have walked out previously when this lady was at the counter because she seemed really put out that I came in and was ordering food. My destination was 5 minutes away so that is when I started eating. Discovering the tasteless, small steak burrito was disappointing. It was the amount of grease dripping out of it that made the burrito really bad. The chicken torta had the same issues. So, I'm done. Too many other decent options in the area now to put up with the bad.

It took nearly 15 minutes for our server to greet us, and our appetizer arrived before our drinks, for this round, only three drink orders total. Throughout the visit, we felt pressured to place our entrée order before we were ready. Once our food arrived, we noticed the enchiladas had red sauce instead of the tomatillo/green sauce we ordered. The food runner insisted the red sauce was tomatillo sauce, which was clearly incorrect. What stood out most was the lack of service continuity. We were seated by the window and noticed our server, Jacqueline, left around 6 PM simply because her shift ended. There was no introduction to another server or any handoff whatsoever. After waiting quite a while with no one checking on us, we eventually had to go to the host stand ourselves just to close out the bill. Our tab was around $200. Rather than dine and dash, we paid in full for the food and drinks, but chose not to leave gratuity based on the experience. The food itself was nicely presented and overall tasted good, but high prices comparable to Chicago do not automatically make a restaurant upscale. If you're looking to overspend on Mexican cuisine while receiving poor customer service, this may be the place for you.

They were busy so there wasn't much of being checked in on, which is fine, I understand. When it came up to go pay. We proceeded to go pay and noticed that I was being charged a "fee" for using a debit card. Up to my current knowledge a debit card is not to be charged a "fee" like a credit card (could regulations/laws have changed and I was unaware absolutely). So then I proceeded to ask the lady why a "fee" was being charged on a debit card. She then proceeded to state that their system has always been doing it and that she has been there for the last 10 years. I have been going to this restaurant for about the last 10ish years and not once seen this person before. This person proceeded to become rude and blatantly nasty. I called her out on it and said "damn, you're rude" She proceeded to say "I don't care" and continued to repeat "I don't care" throughout the whole interaction, rather than try to come to a calm solution/explanation. For someone who works in a restaurant or a business I think that's highly unprofessional to be completely honest. I then proceeded to ask if there was someone above her who I could speak to about this for which she stated " God is above me". I responded to her saying absolutely "God is above all of us". She continued to be nasty and rude throughout the whole interaction. Another employee tried to come in, intervene, and help with the situation but she just gave the worker an attitude and told him to stay out of it. We ended up just paying it and whatever. As we walked out, she proceeded to tell us "Just f**cking leave". To add to this, during the interaction she proceeded to inform us this was her second time of the day arguing with someone. We absolutely left after we had paid. It's very unfortunate that a restaurant that I have loved going to for the last decade of my life I will no longer be going to. This all occurred because of one rude/nasty interaction with whom I believe to be a newer employee. I truly wonder what happened to the ownership here because the owner's son was always so polite, kind, approachable, and always went out of his way to interact with this customers.
