    Nightly specials

    I was so hungry I forgot to take photos! So sorry. But know that all four of us cleaned our plates. Chicken enchilada with green chile, ground beef enchiladas with red chile, carne asada plate and the brisket plate all had just the right amount of heat. The staff were helpful and very attentive. As luck would have it, we came on Thursday night, the night a Mariachi band performed. They were amazing. We had a delicious dinner AND a wonderful show.

    Easter Sunday they were busy. Most of our order was not served hot. Bacon was undercooked. Wide variety of breakfast, lunch and dinner menu items. Serves alcohol.

    It's been a while since we have been to the Flying Tortilla Cafe, and we were pleasantly surprised with the great improvements. The dining room has been renovated and brightened. It's really warm and inviting. Staff is friendly and the prices are very reasonable. I enjoyed a blue corn piñon pancake that was packed with buttery piñon nuts. My husband had the Denver omelette that was so big, he took half home to enjoy the next day. We also enjoyed the artwork on the walls and the cheerful music. A great experience!

    Combo plate  Delicious

    Food and service was amazing Spicey pineapple margaritas are delicious as well. Highly recommend

    We really enjoyed our brunch here! The pancakes are amazing, Corned beef was very good (of course there has to be avocado and chu Lula involved for me)! The biscuit was very hard but they replaced it with a very delicious replacement biscuit, and the gravy had GREAT flavor! There was no wait, very casual and very attentive staff! We would definitely recommend having breakfast/brunch here! Seriously. Try the pancakes!

    House agave margarita

    I like to try NM restaurants that I have never been to before while visiting "home". Met an old high school friend here for dinner around 6pm on Saturday. We were the first customers and were quite shocked as everyone must've been out shopping or didn't want to be out due to the cold weather. Service was excellent and the staff was very friendly. As for the food, it wasn't bad but it wasn't excellent either. Portion sizes were very generous though. I ordered a stuffed sopaipilla with ground beef and red chile. There was too much ground beef and not enough red chile so it was somewhat dry. The chile was rather bland and it was not spicy at all. One friend ordered the chicken fried steak and mashed potatoes with country gravy and veggies. My other friend ordered huevos rancheros and both said their plates were ok but lacking flavor. One of my friends and I had their house agave margaritas but there was nothing special about them and didn't have a "kick" to it. As for the dining area, plenty of seating and very open and airy, which I liked. Plenty of parking as well.

    This is what this place calls a Rueben sandwich. I call it dog barf on a plate.

    I'm not gonna rant with this one, it's simple, Flying Tortilla is nasty. The tables were greasy, the "waitress" was rude and incompetent and the food is inedible. Never going back again! I suggest you avoid this place like the plague.

    New Mexican Tortilla Burger
    Christine C.

    We stopped in on the way out of town at the flying tortilla. It was our first time. The place was a bit slow, but they were also closing early for the 4th. My husband and I scanned the menu and I chose the flying T burger smothered in red Chile. My husband chose the tortilla burger smothered in Christmas. They both lacked salt, but the portions were very fair for the price. The fries were super crispy on the outside and soft on the inside which we really enjoy. We wished our server had come by to serve us more ice tea, but that did not happen. Our food did come out quick. We can say we tried this restaurant, we probably will not be back as we have other favorites that rank higher.

    Dip trio
    Jackie B.

    We stopped in after a while on the road because it was close to our hotel. The friendliest wait staff! They made room for us on the patio even though it wasn't open yet for the season so we could bring our dog, and we're all just so nice and attentive. We had some drinks and the dip trio. It was good, but I think their specialty is breakfast. Would return.

    Big Puffy Pancakes

    So didja hear the one about the three brothers who entered a popular local eatery and left fully satisfied?! Your favorite Yelp Elite Correspondent here, doling out dispatches some 1,200+ miles east of Southern California as my brother and I are visiting our oldest brother in Santa Fe, NM. On morning number one, Steve brought us to the Flying Tortillas for a glimpse into the New Mexican approach towards breakfast. Steve, a Los Angeles transplant who emigrated to the Land of Enchantment several years ago, ordered a succulent pork chops slathered with crisp potato discs pan fried with chorizo and an over hard egg. Joe, the affable middle brother, opted for corned beef hash perched with an egg. All three of us were smacking our lips in jealous envy because our mother used to make an incredible corned beef hash dish for dinner twice monthly. Me? Seeking sustenance from the time and travel distance, I went super traditional and chose a tandem of pillowy puffy pancakes accompanied by an over hard egg and a crisp stalk of bacon. Our service was Amazon Prime quick and our server was outstanding. A glasses-wearing sweetheart who brightened our morning w/ her smile and whose cheerful demeanor had the tortillas flying.

    Management. Thank you for all you do.

    Tasty food. Friendly service. An enjoyable place for breakfast or lunch. They know how to make pancakes. Enjoyed the banana pecan cinnamon pancake.

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.

    I am so glad I listened to wise folks on the internets and came by this little mom and pop shop…read more Food? Stellar. Almost everything we got was perfection. Friend and I both go the Adovada combo. I loved the adovada chalupa so much I got an adovada burrito to go for breakfast tomorrow! The cheese enchilada w/Christmas sauces was so delicious, as was the rice and posole. The only thing I didn't love was the shredded beef taco. Beef was dry, tough, a little flavorless. Maybe because it was the bed of the night? My friend got the regular ground beef taco and said she liked it. On top of all this, the food came out fast, piping hot, and the older man who works there is so sweet, never saw him stop working and he made sure to check on us a few times. The woman working tonight was good too, very professional and good service, just not sweet and warm/fuzzy like the older gentleman was. Additionally, prices were fair for the amount and quality of food, ZERO wait, easy parking, not at all touristy, just very small-town, old school diner type vibe. I will 100% be back when in Santa Fe and highly recommend!

Not a place we'd refuse to visit again, but definitely not one we're eager to return to either.
