If you're in Santa Fe and don't stop at El Callejón Taqueria & Grill, you're seriously missing…read moreout!!! First of all, the service was incredible. The owner/server made us feel like we were guests in their home rather than just customers in a restaurant. Genuine, warm, and welcoming -- the kind of hospitality that instantly makes your night better. Now the food... WOW. The prickly pear margarita deserves its own paragraph. It was easily one of the best margaritas I've ever had -- perfectly balanced, refreshing, and dangerously easy to drink. If you come here and don't order one, you're doing it wrong. What I loved most is that this place is equally amazing for vegetarians AND meat eaters. That's rare. * The squash taco was absolutely incredible -- flavorful, perfectly cooked, and proof that vegetarian dishes can be just as exciting as anything with meat. * Meanwhile, the menu is also a meat-lover's paradise with tons of taco options and traditional Mexican dishes that pack huge flavor. Everything tasted fresh, bold, and made with care. You can tell there's real pride behind the food here. Between the amazing tacos, the unforgettable margaritas, and the genuinely kind service, this was one of those meals you keep thinking about long after you leave. 10/10 -- would go back every time I'm in Santa Fe. !!!!!! MARYLAND GO HERE!

We got the mezcal margarita expecting something like a dirty mezcalito and it was not it. LToday…read moreseemed very light on tequila and very very light on mezcal but if you're a newbie you'd probably like it. But overpriced tbh Food was really good! Rellenos were covered in lots of red sauce which had the besttt flavor but absolutely no spice :/ the relleno also had 0 spice. 0/10 for spice level so also if you're a newbie go for it!! Beans on the side were topped with sour cream which actually was great! Also shrimp/fish tacos were delishh. Really good flavor and freshness. Would have been amazing to have some crispy taco options but soft was nice. Rice was the worst part of the whole experience! Soooo bland. Worst I've had in a long time for real! Thankfully the dishes have a lot of sauce to soak it up with. The bathrooms were cute but the men's bathroom is a one person and does not lock... anyways! We loved the vibe ambiance and the waiters were really awesome!! I'd recommend!

If you're in Santa Fe and not ordering the tamale plate at Tres Colores, you're doing it wrong…read more This dish is the definition of New Mexico done right--two perfectly steamed tamales, one smothered in rich red chile and the other in savory green chile. The red has that deep, earthy flavor with just the right kick, while the green brings a brighter, roasted heat that balances everything out. Together? That classic "Christmas style" combo that hits on every level. The masa was soft and flavorful (not dry like you get at some places), and the filling was generous and well-seasoned. The sides sealed the deal--fluffy Spanish rice, hearty beans, and a fresh, crisp salad that cut through the richness perfectly. Portion size was solid, presentation was clean, and everything tasted like it was made with care--not rushed, not watered down for tourists. Service was quick, friendly, and exactly what you want when you're trying to keep a night moving. Authentic, satisfying, and exactly what you hope for when you come to Santa Fe. I'd order this again without hesitation!!!

We came in on a weekday around 7:30 PM. As we were driving by looking for parking, we saw the…read moretables and chairs being moved into the gravel. We thought we might have got the closing time mixed up so once we found a parking spot, I went over to ask. They said they were moving all of the tables so that they could clean the concrete pathway. We asked if it was OK we sat outside still with our dog and they said that was fine. They moved us to the other side of the pillar which we originally didn't mind but then quickly realized there's no lighting there. So we were eating dinner in a very dim lit area. After reading the reviews, we were excited to try the fish tacos, tamales, and fresh chips and salsa. Unfortunately, none of these really were superstar standouts for us. The blackened fish didn't have a ton of flavor. I found myself searching for a salsa that had a little bit of salt and flavor to spruce up the fish taco. I ate one of the three and my husband ate the remaining. The tamales tasted fresh and the ratio of protein to masa was great. We ate the tamale mostly without the mole sauce, which we didn't really care for. The salsa and chips that came out as an appetizer were fine. The salsas were different and flavorful. I wish that when they dropped off the different salsas (which they do on a rotation) they would have explained what each one was.

The last time I got take out, I ordered the Chicken Green Chili stew. They left out any and all of the Chicken. This stew is up to 18$.

I hardly ever write bad reviews: but…read more.... From the moment we walked in, the service was a mess, slow, inattentive, and borderline dismissive. We waited way too long just to get drinks ordered, and it didn't get any better from there. To make things worse, we ordered empanadas and they brought out the wrong ones, but at that point we had already been waiting so long that it didn't even feel worth sending them back. That pretty much sums up the experience: just settle for whatever you get because getting it fixed would probably take forever. The food itself wasn't even the issue of temperature, it just wasn't good. The flavors fell flat, nothing stood out, and it definitely didn't live up to expectations, especially for the price. The only redeeming part of the entire experience was the drinks, they were actually solid and probably the only reason this review isn't even worse. Overall, between the terrible service, wrong order, and underwhelming food, I wouldn't go back or recommend it to anyone.

After wandering around Santa Fe, we walked past Coyote Cantina and decided to pop in for a drink!…read moreIt was the middle of the day Friday and their rooftop cantina had about a 15 minute wait for a table if 5. Not long after our wait, we were seated under a shaded area at a high top! The view was great & it's definitely a vibe being on the roof! It was pretty well shaded all around. I can't remember the name of our server but he was super attentive & checked up on a us regularly. We all got a cocktail which were delicious and decided to share an order of their nachos. We subbed chicken for our nachos and it came with an extra plate of chopped chicken on the side! Definitely a solid amount of food for 5 people to share! The red chile on their nachos was SO good! I can't stop thinking about it.

And seeing as how, I am a spice weenie I also asked him to help me understand what is not spicy on the menu. He told me several things were and I chose the Al Pastor tacos and they were fabulous. The pineapple was a wonderful delight. My friend and I started with the queso and the house made chips for delightfully salty. My friend had the hot buttered rum which she said was the best she'd had and tasted like a home made mix, not a premix. Overall we had a great experience at the rooftop cantina!

When we ordered drinks the waiter politely informed that they weren't allowed to serve alcohol in the front but then directed us to a cute patio in the back. we felt very comfortable there with our dog. We ordered and my wife ordered a cup of Pozole with her meal not knowing that they give you a dryer version of this with the plates. The food and drinks were fantastic right down to the chips and salsa. Simlpe south west cuisine with flavors that are authentic and made with love. The menu is not extensive but you could through a dart at it and be more then happy with anything you hit. We were in Santa Fe for two days and ate at Palacio's both of them. We had a variety of their choices and absolutely loved every one. If your looking for real down home southwest fair try this place. Its like eating at Grandma's kitchen.

The food is always flavorful, quick and excellent.

Tomasitas appears to be a family institution in Santa Fe because it was packed when we arrived at 6:00. Green and red chilis are a staple at almost every restaurant in New Mexico. Almost every dish has chilis covered over it. Sopasillas are also a staple here in New Mexico. I can't find it anywhere else. It's served like bread baskets at other restaurants. The service is top notch and is a weel oiled machine. We loved ut. We would definitely come back when in Santa Fe.
