We came here based off the recommendation of a friend. The chimichangas were okay (I got one steak and one chicken), the rice and beans were good, but what really stood out was the margaritas, the staff, and the atmosphere. I got the En Fuego margarita, which had Serrano infused tequila and cayenne washed agave nectar. It was nice and actually spicy! The atmosphere was lovely - beautiful decor, spaced out tables, and we sat in the back area with a pretty atrium. It was noticeably quiet too, creating a chill ambiance. The staff was so friendly and thoughtful. When I asked for a straw, our waiter brought four so my family could try my margarita as well. Our food came out really fast too, within about 10 minutes of ordering. I look forward to trying other food from Santa Fe soon!

This is my go-to for lunch or dinner when I'm on the Upper Westside. Awesome, chill setting with delicious food.

Santa Fe is worth the trip! I went as a solo diner on clusterf Macy Balloon Inflation Day, and the staff got me in quickly to a great seat, watered and fed, and on my way when I was comfortably ready. The capacity is much bigger than it looks and even saw a table for 5 seated right away. But just because I dined solo, I wasn't shoved to the bar or anything, I had an excellent experience. The nachitos were perfect to share, a sangarito (sp?) is their OG marg with sangria splashed on top. Prices absolutely comparable for the area, it's comfy, convenient, and chill.

Had a TooGoodToGo bag that came with the $25 dinner dish Enchiladas. The food was still warm when I picked it up. The owner was friendly. The place looks clean. Will definitely come back as a regular customer.

Santa Fe is by far my favorite neighborhood restaurant. I am so glad it's still here because we almost lost it in the pandemic. From what I understand, the Italian place next door saved it I love that Italian place too... but I reviewed that a while back. Anyhow, do yourself a favor and try Santa Fe if you haven't. It is fantastic.

Having visited actual Santa Fe, NM last year, I can safely say that this restaurant lives up to the high standards and value of authentic New Mexican cuisine. I ordered the Breakfast Tacos ($22), which had delicious cheesy scrambled eggs, crispy turkey chorizo, refreshing sliced avocado, and pico de gallo. I also tried the Breakfast Burrito ($21), which actually had similar ingredients to the tacos except obviously in burrito form (the burrito had potatoes instead of chorizo). While both of these dishes were fairly standard, they were done very well. On top of this, the restaurant offers a great brunch deal, where if you order a brunch entree such as these, you can get a free cocktail. I tried the mango and strawberry mimosas - they were pretty strong and could've used some more fruity flavor, but hey they were free so still great value! Other places in NYC might ask you to pay upwards of $15 for these drinks alone. They also gave us complimentary chips and salsa to start our meal. The restaurant itself is very nice - the interior has a classy intimate feel with slightly dimmed lighting. There is also a nice covered outdoor seating area with several tables, which is where we sat. There were still plenty of tables available for a weekend brunch when we got there. The staff are friendly and the service speed was quick. Overall, with this great brunch deal / value and delicious Southwestern food, I definitely think this is an underrated restaurant that deserves better ratings. Definitely give it a try when you're in the area!

This is a nice spot for TexMex. My friend recommended this spot because he orders them often on TooGoodToGo, and he's never had a bad meal. I came here with a large group after Global Citizen Festival. They offered complementary chips and salsa. Half the table ordered the chipotle chicken, which came with a salad and rice and beans. The chicken was a bit dry, so the sauce complimented it well. It was a god dining experience and I'd be back again, should I end up in the area and need a familiar place to eat.
