    This super casual restaurant is a reliable spot for fresh, yummy food. My hubby loves the posole and burritos. I go for grilled chicken. There's a drive through--sop convenient. Parking is just a few steps out the front door. Staff are friendly and helpful. The restaurant is clean. There's plenty of indoor seating. We *heart* Bumble Bee's!

    Green Chile Tortilla Burger made with a Boca Burger
    Jeffrey C.

    Been traveling for two weeks and really just wanted a good veggie burger. We found this place when we got to town. I got the green chili and cheese burger but substituted the patty with a Boca Burger and a side of sweet potato fries. Hubby had the green chili tortilla soup with tofu. Both of our orders were very flavorful and fresh tasting. My fries zesty and crispy. Our only complaint that kept my rating from being a 5 star one was the prices. We felt they were slightly high for a burger joint. But, The staff were friendly. The place was clean. And They have a nice outside patio area.

    back again to try their hamburger and fries. Even though the one the other table looks so good. Hence the reason we returned in the same week, but it really wasn't anything special.

    Green Chile Stew & Veggie Taco
    K B.

    Most of the staff doesn't speak English, so it's difficult to place your order. I signed up my email on their site and they sent me a coupon for a free taco. A lady, looked to be the Manager, didn't speak English but didn't want to honor it. She has RBF. I don't think she knew how. I got it, they just didn't ring it up. The person taking my order was friendly. The vegetarian green chile stew and veggie taco were delicious! The jicama salad was spectacular!! Food takes about 20mins to receive when they aren't very busy. It's way overpriced.

    We needed a quick meal within walking distance arriving into town and this place stood out for the name a colorful design. The interior was colorfully and artfully decorated. The food was better than average Mexican/Southwest food. I had a really hard time understanding the workers there and had a difficult time ordering, I think it was a combination of all the noise in the area and my inability to understand the accents (usually I'm pretty good but this was off my scale), maybe the ordering process could be simplified.

    Plastic boxes, please use paper. This is pure waste.

    I love the Staff. I love the food, but this new plastic packaging has to go. Get back to paper.

    Burrito with steak
    Sıla Yaren A.

    The food is here unbelievable!! It's a cute small secluded spot, has gorgeous lighting outside and you can smell what you're about to experience from the parking lot. They don't have servers so you order at the entrance and they bring your food out when it's ready. Everyone was nice and they were busy! I went with my partner and we both ordered different things to share. I got the Mexican burrito with steak and he ordered the half chicken plate. Everything was so delicious and perfectly spiced, the rice and beans that come with the chicken plate were also great and paired really well. My burrito was really good and it hit the right spot after a long day. They're a really long time small business and just make the best chicken ever. Highly addictive and I highly recommend!

    Worlds Slowest Drive-Thru!
    Jen P.

    We stopped in to Bumble Bee's today for a 'snack' (basically a very late lunch) at the recommendation of an artist we met at the Santa Fe Railyard Sunday's Artisan Market. She had described the place as a great local spot serving up really fresh food, sourced from local farms. When we pulled into the parking lot around 3 pm on a Tuesday, we were surprised to see so many cars, including 2 at the drive-thru window. After parking, while walking towards the inside, and noticed the fun drive-thru sign noting Bumble Bee's is the "Worlds Slowest Drive-Thru," since all the food is made fresh and to order. We went inside expecting table service, but this place has more of a kitchy, local fast-food restaurant vibe. You order at the counter, get a number, pick a table (inside or out) and then they bring your food out when it's ready. During your wait, you can enjoy the art all over the walls and the bees and decorations hanging from the ceiling. For our lunch, we ordered 2 bowls of green chile stew with chicken, 1 bowl of green chile stew with lamb, a fresh lemonade, a chocolate shake, a fresh horchata, and a squash and goat cheese quesadilla. We waited maybe 15 min for our food to come out, and were surprised at the portion sizes! The green chile stews were full of meat, potatoes and green chiles, plus were topped with pieces of tortilla chips, sour cream, salsa and shredded cheddar cheese. Hearty enough to be the only thing you eat all day! And the meat was cooked to perfection, tender and falling apart. Really great. The quesadilla was also fantastic. The combo of squash and goat cheese was delicious, and though we weren't able to finish it all, we brought our left overs back to our airbnb and look forward to finishing them tomorrow! We really enjoyed visiting this local gem during our brief stay in Santa Fe and would love to go back and experience more of the extensive menu! Definitely off the tourist track, yet easy to find, just around the corner from the Georgia O'Keeffe museum.

    Stew with pork.
    Skarzan F.

    Ok so I didn't expect much from this drive through place close to home. So here's the thing, for someone who alway eats healthy and never fast food, what I had last night was a revelation. Hope it's not a one-off... circumstances caused me to call in on a Friday night and the stews are excellent. Almost finished it off before grabbing a quick, last pic. Flavorful, generous serving was scrumptious. The half chicken dinner was not overcooked and was damn good according to my girlfriend. Can't wait to have another go.

    The steak tacos tastes like it's steamed, the salsa has way to much garlic and the ambiance not the best but the horchata was good.

Unfortunately I was highly disappointed by food and service. I ordered fish and shrimp taco. The food wasn't bad but it's didn't come with a side of salsa or any sort of sauce. It did comes with a side of rice which I felt was under seasoned. The service was slow. I walked in around 1pm and door was locked. I was surprised to find them close even though online says that they are open at 11am that day. I checked on google and it was suppose to be open. I called and they said that they are open but waiting for alcohol to be delivered at 3pm. Did they assume that every customer coming in is ordering alcohol? As far as I understand this is a restaurant that serves food and alcohol and not a bar. Shortly after my arrival, there was a large tour with 12 people showed up. I could see that the waiter was a bit flustered because he also had to tend to other customer as well as the tour. I guess this is where the tour take people for authentic taco experience. In my opinion these are more toned down gringo tacos. My taco didn't come with a side of sauce like everyone else. I also noticed that the tour all received a side of salsa which I didn't. I'm not sure if the waiter forgot. I had to flag down the waiter a few time because he also forgot my drink. I also ordered an agua Fresca watermelon and it wasn't made of real watermelon but flavor syrup from the bar. I wished I had known that it wasn't real melon. 2.5 stars for the food and 2 for service. Again food wasn't terrible, but certainly wasn't close to be the best.

It sounded like dinner service would have meant waiting for a table, so this worked out perfectly. The bar area struck a nice balance between lively and intimate. The tables had cute lanterns filled with coffee beans, and the abundance of plants throughout gave the space a cozy, nighttime greenhouse vibe. As instructed, we ordered at the bar and everything was brought to our table. Unable to decide between two desserts, we ordered both: the Hot Fudge Sundae and the Cheesecake. To pair with dessert, we went with the Spiked Coffee and a glass of Santa Fe Spirits Apple Brandy. We'll go from bad to good: neither of us cared for the cheesecake. The sour cream vanilla topping overpowered both the cheesecake itself and the graham cracker crust. My wife, however, really enjoyed the spiked coffee, and I thoroughly enjoyed the apple brandy. It was incredibly smooth, almost like drinking apple pie. The surprise winner of the night was the hot fudge sundae, and what made it exceptional was the fudge sauce. It had this rich balance of dark, slightly bitter chocolate with just enough sweetness to keep it smooth and indulgent. Overall, we had a great experience and would absolutely come back to try an actual meal sometime.

Apparently moles aren't all dark chocolate spicy sauces ... ?!?? Loved the education and samples. I'm typically not a mole fan, but they were fun to try. We had the octopus but to me the sauce was too oily. The actual octopus was tender and delicious. Also had the duck skin tacos which were more of a minced duck meat taco and delish. The 5 stars go for impeccable service and the SOUP. This soup is not to be missed. Nothing on paper makes me think it should work but it totally does. It's a big lump of blue crap topped with creamy poblano pepper soup with whipped cream and amaretto and then topped with a spicy kick. Someone said cinnamon but for me it tasted more like hot red chili powder. Sounds incredibly weird but it was the best dish I've had in forever.

We were seated immediately but waited about ten minutes before anyone greeted us. When our server finally arrived, he wished us a happy anniversary--even though it wasn't our anniversary. While not a major issue, it's the kind of detail a restaurant at this price point should get right. After ordering drinks, water, and our meals, we were told everything was available except the duck. My wife ordered the sopa de amora and the halibut special. I ordered the frijole negro and attempted to order the Popocatépetl, only to be told it was unavailable that evening. Instead, I was offered a $90 Wagyu steak. For a restaurant of this caliber, the menu should be updated or guests should be informed of major changes upfront. It felt like a bait-and-switch. Our drinks arrived, but after finishing our water, we were told more would be brought out. It never arrived until dessert, when I had to ask again. The frijole negro was excellent--the best dish of the night. Unfortunately, my wife's soup was disappointing. We were told it had to be eaten from top to bottom or bottom to top for the flavors to work properly, and this explanation was delivered in a somewhat condescending manner. Despite being described as "the best soup in the state," the flavors simply felt off. For the entrées, my steak was good, but the rice was overcooked and mushy. My wife's halibut was completely under-seasoned, and her rice was equally inedible. Dessert was better. The crepes were enjoyable, though the walnuts were noticeably burnt. I don't usually nitpick, but when a restaurant charges premium prices, the food and service should justify the cost. Unfortunately, both were mediocre, and the overall experience fell far short of expectations.
