Very authentic! When the waitress speaks broken English, and most customers are Latino, I know I come to the right place. It opened since 1998, survived through Pandemic, It means something, people!!! We had menudo and tacos. The beef tongue and beef tenderloine tacos are marvelous. You can taste the original meat flavor rather than the seasoning. Menudo is my favorite. Large portion, lots of tripes. I want to try the tripas (guts) tacos but my boyfriend refused. If you ever go after seeing my review, please try it for me. One thing to notice: They charge a fee if you pay credit card, and it's not indicated anywhere. The tip they calculate for you is after tax and extra fee, so you best do the math yourself. read more

My wife and I went there for dinner. Got seated right away. The wait staff was friendly and good. My biggest problem with this place is that the table smelled of dirty bleach water. I despise when this happens - and frankly it's way too often! Why are restaurants so cheap that they don't change the soap/bleach water and rags? That ruined the meal for us. I ordered chips and salsa, the while I enjoy a little heat, this salsa was way too hot. I asked for some salsa verde but they did not have any. Our waiter did bring some green salsa which was fine. My wife ordered the chicken mole, and said it was ok. I had the chicken fajitas and they were fine. No drinks and bill with %20 tip was $50. Again what killed it for us was the smell of the dirty table/booth read more

I visited this Mexican restaurant last weekend and left feeling underwhelmed. The tacos and enchiladas were decent enough, but nothing stood out or tasted fresh. Portions were average, and the prices felt a little high for the quality. What ruined the experience, though, was the service. Our server seemed annoyed the entire time, rarely checked on our table, and forgot items we ordered. We also waited too long for the bill. Overall, it wasn't terrible, but I wouldn't rush back or recommend it to friends read more

Food, service and ambiance was excellent! We stopped by after visiting Meow Wolf and this place did not disappoint. We had delicious margaritas paired with oysters, menudo and a quesadilla! We came at the perfect time as the beautiful ladies showed up to play music! They went table to table asking for song request...we unfortunately did not have any cash on hand but they were beyond sweet enough to play a song for my 9 month baby! I will always remember this place for this reason and next time we visit Santa Fe we will be stopping by!! read more

First time eating here. It was the most wonderful Sunday afternoon meal. It's like a team approach with service. No less than 5 people interacted with us during the meal. Tea glasses were kept full. The feel of the restaurant was inviting . read more

Such a cute southwestern decor I did not have a great feeling when I walked in being out of town for business. The girl looks me over and says table for two no one.. it took about five minutes to take my order. The Margarita was so so with so much Taheen on it. I had to scrape some of it off.. the food was delicious and I appreciate the fact that on the combo plate they put the taco on the side. Tamale was fantastic.. The chips were a bit stale, but the food was good enough that would make me want to recommend it. The disappointment was the slow service. I waited 15 minutes to have him come get my check was never asked if everything was OK. I needed a napkin and had to say excuse me, sir, because the two guys were watching the TV behind my head Grandma there were only four tables in the restaurant or I would not leave and maybe review a little Customer Service Training could turn this restaurant into a five star read more

We stopped in on a whim and I'm so glad we did! This restaurant is adorable and the staff were all incredibly friendly. I had the Navajo taco and it was delicious! The fry bread was heavier and denser than I'm used to, but the flavor of the toppings more than made up for that. My husband had the quesabirria tacos, which he said were the best he's ever had. The sopapillas were served freshly-fried. I'll definitely stop in again next time I'm in Santa Fe! read more

Walked in and were sat promptly. Not busy. Sat there for 15 minutes without one person coming to help us, even though they walked by. They sat around talking. We felt very discriminated against. Ended up walking out and going to Los Portillos which was a blessing. So thank you for ignoring us. read more

First off, food--yummy! Really good, very authentic. You have to pay for salsa & chips which I never like--but the salsa was on point. Our house margaritas had some spice that actually was hot--not mentioned in the menu, and we didn't like it. Service was basically awful--except the guy who actually brought out the food. He got me the water I'd been asking for for quite a while. I wasn't ready to order when the waiter first asked I guess because of that I was punished and had to sit there and wait. The joke actually was on him because we were in no hurry. I was astounded at how long I had to wait for everything. If you have lots of time, I'd go here otherwise forget it, which is unfortunate because the food is really good. read more

The food here is deliciosas! The green Chile is a little spicy, but im a white girl so decide what that means to you. The bathrooms are clean. The employees are professional. The hubs had the Chile Relleño Plate and he loved it too. Big portions! read more

Yes! Yes! Yes! After meow wolf we were hungry and just went across the street to this place. We were sooo happy! Everything we ordered was amazing, the service was friendly and attentive. The prickly pear margarita hit the spot, the Navajo taco and tacos carnitas had amazing flavors and went down fast. I would only be able to post pics of cleaned pates. I felt at home here and would come often if I lived in town. Clean bathrooms, dive feel, fun decor, kid friendly, full of locals and absolutely yummy food! read more

Service was very lacking. Female staff was better than the male working. Couldn't be bothered to help anyone in the restaurant but seemed to be the one that the ladies had to pass every order through. There must be places with better service nearby. read more

Fantastic food and drinks! The service was top notch. Was passing through from Wichita KS and the beautiful mural caught my eye.

Stopped at Adelitas with friends for a mid-afternoon drink and light food. Granted it was a Friday and they were a few occupied tables, the service was terrible. The young lady that waited on us initially was totally overwhelmed and ignored us. I called over the other waitress to assist us and bring us napkins/silverware. We won't go back. read more

Yum, yum, yum! Great margaritas and terrific authentic Mexican food. Just visiting the area but so glad we stopped for dinner. I had the Pastor tacos and they were probably one of the best I have had in a very long time. Will be back next time I am in town. read more

I was so excited to have Mexican food in New Mexico and this delivered on that! My sisters and I came here and enjoyed a variety of things. My favorite was the Sandia Margarita, which was so fresh and flavorful and tasted exactly like sweet summer watermelon. The portions were huge, and the rice was especially delicious. We enjoyed a quesadilla appetizer, then chicken tacos and a chimichanga. Our service was good; we also went at 4:30 on a Thursday so we pretty much had the space to ourselves. The outdoor patio area is very cute. I really enjoyed my meal here! read more

Stopped to have a nice lunch, and we regret it. The food was bland. Ordered enchiladas and the chicken tasted like it came out of a can. My wife Ordered a cheese burger and it was dry the fries were very greasy and tasted like lard.We took a couple of bites and paid for meal and left read more

The food was delicious. Navajo taco, Carnitas tacos and chile rellanos were delicious. The margaritas were lacking.

I rate this 3.5 stars. 4 is too high. Parking sucks. Service is significantly lacking. Food was very good. I ordered a dish with mushrooms and they told me they had no mushrooms so i switched to basic chicken fajitas. My wife got enchiladas with a mushroom sauce; that sauce was premade. It was excellent. Chips were burnt. My wife got a frozen strawberry margarita that was only on ice even though she was assured it would be frozen. Price was high. They had women Mexican band and were excellent. read more

Very friendly, quick service and a very solid meal. Just enough chile to give in a kick!

Great serve,food,margaritas and entertainment! Love this place! The BEST Place to eat in Santa Fe!!

After reading the reviews I was extremely nervous. Here are the final results. - The chips were literally the most stale I have ever had. I would highly recommend serving warm and fresh. It's the first sign of whats to come. - The tampiqueña was surprisingly good. Basic grill meat but with lime and the beans, made up for alot. - Stop charging more for cards. It's 2024 and the fees should not have to be covered by the customer. - garnish charge of $1.50 for limes. Really? I mean the most basic of Mexican restaurant items and you charge to help season up the bland saltless meat you serve? Would I come here again, not if they don't change those things. Would I agree with all the 1 stars, not entirely but a few points hit the mark. read more

First time ever that I left 0.00 tip. No chips and salsa brought, nor offered. No silverware or napkins at the table and none brought with my food. Asked for rice and beans told 'not today'. Food brought to table and server walked away - did I need anything else? Never asked. Never checked up on after I got my food. The service is absolutely horrible. read more

Came here because it had decent reviews and close to my hotel. Ordered a Silver Margarita which was good, not outstanding, and it was at least an inch below the rim. Chips and salsa could definitely be improved. Salsa was so-so and the chips were cold and stale tasting. Like time for a change of grease in the deep fat fryer. Sat at the bar which wasn't very comfortable. No place for knees which made it difficult to eat. Appreciated there were hangers for purses. Had an Indian Taco/ Christmas which was very good. Nice and hot. Preferred the green over the red. An older lady took my order and did check on me once. Other than that I wasn't particularly impressed with service. Doubt if I'd ever return. read more

Crazy expensive. And not very good. Disappointed. I wouldn't go there again. I got the chimichanga.

Passing through New Mexico and stopped here for dinner. We ordered the beef tongue tacos and 16oz of beef barbacoa. The barbacoa was rich, moist and delicious. Overall, the food was so fresh, clean ingredients and the seasoning was perfect! Absolutely will come back here again. read more

Just ate there today, their food is so outstanding, the sopapilla was the very best. Thanks for being open on January 1st!

Zero stars! 1) Asked for aqua fresca. Took over 5 minutes to arrive. On bill they charged me for two! Luckily I checked the receipt 2) Corn or flour tortilla? Flour...ate half my meal...waited...where's my flour tortilla??? Had to ask them for it 3) Told the waitress we were ready to order....waited, saw her in the front talking and laughing....service means nothing here 4) Did sopapilla come with the meal??? Unclear...had to ask and was charged $1.50 each. Other places were free 5) salsa not good 6) chips not free. First basket free, second basket close to $3 They didn't want my money, service sucks, check your bill...all this made my experience poor. Never again!!! Not sure if racist or not...but yeah, I definitely felt they were giving me the cold shoulder and talking about me behind/in front in me at the register. (I am not white or Mexican) read more

I had read so many reviews and was excited to try this restaurant. I grew up in the Los Angeles area and am no stranger to Mexican food. We were asked to sit in the patio area because we had our two pups with us. No problem, we understand. Our waitress brought out two glasses of water for us, a basket of delicious chips and salsa along with our menus. My husband ordered and got a cerveza. Then we waited for her to return to take our order. We waited and waited and waited. It started getting dark on the outdoor patio. We still hadn't ordered. My husband went on to get the waitress' attention. She nodded politely. She never got our order for the combo after and the fish taco plate. We got tired of waiting in the dark so we left. We had a wonderful meal at Rowley Farmhouse Ales. read more

OK, this is the worst restaurant in a 'first world' country: watery drinks, green chile which was watery and pale gray and flavorless, stringy, chewy chile rellenos--you know you're in trouble when you could cook better at home, and you're from out of town. There is some kind of inside joke going on here: how do they stay open with food like this? And it's expensive! Don't take my word for it: read the other 1-star reviews. And spend your money in some other restaurant: ANY would do. No wonder it's so close to Denny's. read more

Terrible food! Chips were cold and stale. Off the beaten track. Not a good location.

Microwave quality Mexican food, hair on my wife's bacon, cold potatoes and a mandatory 18% gratuity when the server doesn't even refill water? You're better off going to Taco Bell. read more

RJ Eckardt Local Guide·7 reviews just nowNEW-Edit I was surprised to find that this restaurant charges a percentage to use a Credit Card. Most businesses realize that it's the cost (usually already added in) of doing business. They also imply a tip on the grand total of the bill, instead of just the food purchased, before tax. To me this indicates greed on the owner's part. It affects the staff negatively, which were awesome, and they lose customers by the additional greed imposed on the people that pay their salaries. Food: 4/5 | Service: 5/5 | Atmosphere: 2/5 read more

I have to be honest, this is one of the worst Mexican restaurants I have ever eaten at. Chilles Rellenos were absolutely terrible. Service is lousy. They had no salsa and chips I was told. Twice I ordered a margarita with no salt and they added the salt. Seriously not worth it. read more

Food was terrible. First thing I ordered was inedible, seriously so bad my husband who eats most things said I shouldn't give it to the homeless people camped outside. Second thing I ordered was bland and soggy. I guess I ordered the wrong things, twice. They also forgot one of the things we ordered but I didn't bother to remind them, and we weren't charged for it. Polite staff. My husband liked his food, so I think some stuff on the menu is good. read more

Good home-style Mexican with a huge menu. Full bar, nice margaritas. There's a live all-female instrumental group that's in sometimes.

I downloaded this app specifically to warn folks against this place. Absolutely the worst Mexican food! Salsa has good heat but bad flavor. I had the chicken sopes, chicken was boiled to death, low quality and bland, the sope itself was hard and flavorless. My wife had the Indian taco with chicken, grease soaked fry bread. Not half enough green chile on either. In this town if you can't do green chile, close your doors. Gauc was from a mix , it had the color but I don't know if it had avacado. -5 stars. You could get better Mexican food at a truck stop in Canada! read more
