Me and my sister had an amazing meal at Maria's a week ago in Santa Fe. We had never been there before and were not disappointed. I had the cheese enchiladas with green chili on the side. It came with refried beans, rice, and sopapillas. And they serve chips and salsa without it costing extra . The meal was delicious. Probably the best Mexican food I've ever had in Santa Fe. The service was great! Unfortunately, I can't remember our server's name, but she was awesome. The ambiance is very quaint and there's easy access to good parking in their parking lot. It's not on the plaza which makes it convenient.. On my next visit to Santa Fe I will definitely be going to Maria's. I need to also add they have a huge margarita menu. Lots to choose from. I went with the traditional house. Margarita which was delicious!

I love this place. They're a classic spot, but the food is fresh. Service is always on point. The place is like 5 little restaurants all rolled into one. Killer cantina. Comfortable family dining room and extra party rooms. I feel like the food has gotten even better in the last few visits too. Best margarita list in town!

We were seated quickly with our 2 small dogs on the patio. Manuel was our server. He was friendly and informative about our questions about the menu. The food was delicious and well presented. He checked back on us several times to make sure that everything was great and refill our drinks

Went for a drink while waiting on our table at Paper Dosa. We were seated immediately and got our chips quickly. I personally didn't love my drink but I prefer sweeter drinks. The best part of our stay was a mariachi band coming in and playing. Will need to come again and try their food.

Love this place. Today was the taco plate. Besides chips, you also get a sopapilla with your meal. Waiter was very courteous. Happy hour is also a great deal for food.

Poor service poor quality food. Portions were small, food was cold, and margaritas were $20 and horrible. Below average ambiance.

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.

Palacio just Hits different, and is probably my favorite place to go for food in Santa fe. The owner and staff are outstanding, every single time. There's plenty of seating in the building but the perfect combination of the historic vibe and small town feel when you step inside really makes this place feel like you're having a meal with friends when you're in there. The food is always flavorful, quick and excellent.

The chili was excellent came with a large side of rice and beans, lettuce, pico sour cream guacamole was absolutely delicious. Same as the salad I replaced the blue cheese with goat cheese and it was excellent. The dressing was so good and the fruit fresh. The margarita, perfect not too sweet not artificial tasting at all. Now, the tamale oh my goodness I've never had such a moist tamale maybe the best tamale I've ever had. The pupusa was delicious and they didn't skimp on the cabbage salad. I expected something different with the beef stew. It was much thinner and Brosier than I expected, but it had an absolutely delicious flavor and plenty of meat. I would definitely come back here and I would definitely recommend this to anybody

Service was efficient although not particularly helpful. There is a printed menu for lunch but…read moreonly a high chalkboard menu for dinner, making it difficult to read. The server also failed to tell us that we could order only off of the one menu that fit the exact time of our visit, which happened to coincide with the time that they switch from offering lunch to the time they serve dinner. The cheeseburger was very tasty. The grilled salmon tacos were good but served with flavorless beans and bland rice. Not a place we'd refuse to visit again, but definitely not one we're eager to return to either.

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!

The guys with me recommended Red Enchilada due to the pupusas not being premade and frozen. Service was friendly and helpful. I tried a drink, called Marañon, which according to Google is the cashew apple. Pupusas were excellent! Especially with the salsa and pickled cabbage w/veggies added on top. The Super Breakfast plate was good too, but was pretty standard (eggs, carne adovada, potatoes, beans). The pupusas were a stand out and I'd definitely go back for those. My friend had to send his steak back because he wasn't cooked the way he asked, but another one in our party also had a steak and we think they just accidentally swapped their steaks when they plated them.
