Yummy food after a long day of shopping right outside of the four seasons mall on the same exit! I recommend coming during lunch time as it's not crazy busy and they have delicious skinny margaritas. The lemon and lime taste freshly squeezed and i love that they add fresh fruit on top! The food ordered was the rice covered in queso with grilled shrimp and zucchini! I love using the chips that come to the table as scoopers to eat the rice and queso, so delicious. When we walked in we were not the biggest fan of the music but they were happy to accommodate and ask if there was any song recommendations. The ambiance is great for booth seating and even outdoor seating. read more

Very underwhelming experience. I wanted to do something new and get out the house after being snowed in. I stumbled upon Santa Fe and didn't realize that it was the same Santa Fe on Gate City. I didn't really like their food (underseasoned) so I was hoping this would be different but it wasn't. The staff was great. They were very attentive, stayed on top of salsa and chip refills, and drinks. Nothing ever got low because they were on top of it and I appreciate that. The food was just okay-not bad, not exceptionally good just fine. I got a chorizo cheese dip as an appetizer and it was really runny and hard to enjoy because the cheese didn't really stick to the chips. I do enjoy the refried beans that accompanied my meal. The were well seasoned. The chicken dish I got was just okay. I was hoping for some good authentic well seasoned Mexican food and this fell flat. read more

Solid Tex-Mex style restaurant. The food tonight was mostly a hit. The chips and salsa were good. The salsa was super fresh and tasty, while the chips were just okay. The fresh guacamole was a standout with the whole family. Didn't last long. I went with the tostadas de ceviche. The fish was amazingly fresh and tender, but the flavors were a bit overpowered by strong lime juice. I love a tangy ceviche but this was a bit too much. A little more seasoning or spice would help balance the acidity. The other dishes were solid across the board. My daughter's ACP had tender chicken and a flavorful cheese sauce. My son's shrimp quesadilla had great flavor, and my wife's shrimp tacos were cooked perfectly. What really stood out tonight was the service. Huge shout out to Luis and his helper! The dishes came out quickly, drinks were refilled when they were only half empty, and the salsa kept flowing all evening. I don't even know where they popped out from. They just appeared out of nowhere and knew exactly what we needed. Six star service this evening for sure! read more

Had the carne asada tacos, the burritos de camerones, and the enchiladas. So good! The burritos is always loaded with shrimp. They keep the chips and salsa coming! The ambiance is casual, service is fast, and the flavors tend to be more fresh than other quick Mexican restaurants around Greensboro. read more

I came back here for the first time in a year on Sunday. I was skeptical at the beginning because the food didn't wow me the last time I was here. But then I found something I didn't remember from before , which was the Burrito Hawaiiano. I was amazed when they brought out my plate with the shrimps on the side and it looked so delicious. My sister was even jealous about my dish (lol). If I had to suggest anything from this place, this burrito would be my favorite thing from this place. The service was a little slow to my family's liking with the chips and salsa, but they enjoyed themselves as well. read more

Sometimes it's hard breaking away from the trusty Mexican or even Tex-Mex options that are around, but I'm glad Santa Fe came up. They have a robust menu with something for everyone. Seafood, classics and more are all on the menu. I'm a fan of their Chicken and Chorizo plate, the Burrito Santa Fe and fajitas. They also had a Santa Fe steak and cheese sandwich that sounded good. The choridip wasn't as much of a standout as some of the other local places but it was still good. I like it with chorizo in it and not just the cheese and flavor. Service was good during my visit and the inside is put together well. Overall I'd return as a backup to my go-to. read more

They are quick to seat and serve chips with salsa. The lunch menu has lots of specials and good prices! The ACP is delicious and has a nice cheese sauce. The beef tacos were cheesy and crunchy. It was crowded for lunch which is always a good sign. It did not affect the quick service or food quality. read more

The friendly staff greeted me with at the door and service was on point from the start. I ordered the classic combination with two items one taco and one burrito, accompanied by refried beans and rice. Pairing it with a draft cold Blue Moon beer. The food arrived quickly at the bar. The hard shell taco was stuffed pretty good and was very tasty. The burrito, generously stuffed with shredded chicken was good. What really brought everything together was their red habanero house-made hot sauce that had a good kick, but without overpowering the dish. The atmosphere at the bar was laid-back, casual. Attentive bartender, made some good recommendations on the different margaritas regular vs Texas style. read more

This is a pretty typical Tex-Mex restaurant. Came here for lunch with a few coworkers. We were quickly seated and served the free appetizers. I ordered a chicken quesadilla fajita with a side of rice. It came out hot and was very good. For there to be 6 of us, a couple of them being picky eaters, the service was quick and accurate. I've heard of this spot yet never attempted to try it. I'm down to come back here again and actually order a drink or two. read more

What in the fresh h is this? Did I order nachos or soup? Did I expect my nachos to be crispy? No, not really. Did I expect them to be soupy and a hot mess? Again, no. Not only were the nachos ridiculously soupy and nasty, but the burritos deluxe, the same. This is absolutely disgusting and unacceptable. I've noticed they've fallen off with their takeout game, but this right here has taken me over the edge. Mark my words, this is the last order for me. Considering the takeout fees y'all charge & the prices, I expect better quality. Never again! read more

I had not been to Santa Fe in long time and was excited to visit since it was so good the last time! Me and my boyfriend went for dinner last night and it was great. Our server was really friendly and attentive. The salsa had a nice flavor and the chips were hot. I ordered the burrito hawaino and it was delicious! The shrimp were grilled nicely and went perfectly with the flavors from the pineapple and chicken in the burrito. read more

It's just not that good anymore. This used to be a great spot. But the last two times I've been have been mediocre at best. Like many places the prices have increased, including a service fee to process a credit card. 3.00 to pay your bill? This is a tax deductible business expense and should be something you pass on to your customers. It's even included in your suggested tip amounts. How greedy. The food was meh. I had fajita nachos. 14.95 and they were just meh. My husband had the 12.95 tacos de carnita. Literally 4 tacos. That's it. No sides? My son had ACP. Atleast that was good. I won't be back. From the looks of the restaurant and the 5 other tables at 730 on a Saturday night, maybe it's time yall started caring about about what's happening. read more

I have been to this somewhat upscale Tex-Mex restaurant several times over the years with mixed results. To paraphrase Longfellow, when they were good, they were very, very good, and when they were bad they were horrid! The last visit to this location ( there is a sister spot on what is now laughingly called Gate City Blvd) we tried the Birria Stew and a 4 Taco plate, both coming with an assortment of the usual sides - rice, beans, and salad. The Birria Stew was straight up stew, not shredded beef encased in tortillas that is all the fad now, and deservedly so! The stew was very good and had the nice depth of flavor usually associated with this authentic dish. The dish has the rich, red color that helps define the stew, provide by the inclusion of plenty of dried red chilies - usually the guajilla chilies, and often some ancho chilies are included. The dish was loaded with very tasty, shredded beef, and was ever better when some sour cream and slices of jalapeño were added, after spooning the mixture over rice. I do like the tacos made with this meat but once in a while this approach really hits the spot, without the tortillas somewhat muting the rich flavor. The 4 tacos we had were just ok- tacos have never been the strength here, always a certain blandness to whatever kind you choose. I might well try this place again, but I won't be sitting in the parking lot waiting for them to open. read more

Staff is great and that is the only positive thing I can say about Santa Fe. Margarita had absolutely zero taste of having any Tequila in it expensive and a waste of money. Got the enchiladas rojo, stringy dry over cooked chicken horrible flavor I didn't even finish them. Rice is nothing to write home about flavorless. Salsa came out of a can somewhere in the kitchen. Chips were definitely poured out of a bag. Definitely cooking nothing just reheating food giving a name and dumping on a plate. My advice is avoid this place there are definitely places in Greensboro to get good honest actually cooked on site that take pride in their food and their culture. read more

Not sure why it has taken us so long to try Santa Fe Mexican Grill. We have stopped in a couple times now and have enjoyed everything we have ordered so far. They have quite an extensive menu and I was excited to see they have one of my favorite dishes, Pozole! We will definitely make this restaurant one of our go to Mexican restaurants whenever we have a hankering! read more

As I stood and waited at the front to be seated, or even seen...the more time passed, the more I was saying to myself "just get back in your car and drive two more minutes to Luna". I should have and unfortunately ended up having lunch at Santa Fe. I went a good hour and a half after lunch hours and there were merely 10 patrons overall (4 then left/finished before I ordered). A lot of empty seats at that point so I was trying to figure out where the host was even. The food....I haven't eaten here in maybe two years but do not remember it being bad like this. I ordered the Huevos Divociados....I couldn't even give it a 1 out of 5. It's a fried tortilla cut out with a hole in the middle where they put the "fried" egg in. The sauces they put on top were some of the worst things I've tasted in any Mex/Tex-Mex restaurant. The rice was really bad as well - bland but yet had a strange sweetness to it, like the actual taste of sugar type of sweet. I was ready to go and waitress was really nowhere to be found for the longest before I had to call on a different waiter for the check. Overall, probably wouldn't return..would just go to Luna's over there in the area. Chips and salsa were the best things I ate there...which is telling. read more

Pleasantly surprised by how good this place was. When we finished our meal, it did take awhile to get our check. Maybe our waiter was on a break or something, but we didn't have anywhere to be so it was fine. He was super sweet when he finally did return, very nice guy and we had a pleasant conversation with him. Mango margarita was excellent. Shrimp with rice was delicious and I would definitely order it again. read more

It pains me to write this as our family has enjoyed many many meals here over the years but we had a terrible meal here recently. It started when we walked it right at dinner time on a weekend and the place was nearly empty, very unusual but didn't think too much of it. Got our chips, way overcooked and felt like the oil was rancid. On to the order. Went with a simple combo platter this trip. Brought the wrong things but whatever, I wasn't picky. But interesting that the size of the items was half what they used to be. Cheese in the cheese enchilada not melted, not tasty. Rice again tasted like the oil was rancid. Just a really disappointing meal. One of my adult children is home and wants to try it so we will give them another chance and hope this was just a really bad night for them and not the new normal. read more

I have been going to Santa Fe since it opened. Tonight in an infrequent occurrence, I called in an order. Reviewing my bill I noticed they charged .45 per order for a pick up order or in my case $.90. I asked for a little container of salsa and they said the charge would be $1.20. I said forget it. They can keep their watery sauce. It's not about the money, but I am getting sick of these restaurants "nickel and dimeing" for things that should be part of their exorbitant prices. Maybe they need to charge fees for silverware, a dine in fee instead of a pick up fee, or a just because we can fee. It not like the food is great at Santa Fe, its average at best. Santa Fe just lost a long time customer for their stupid fees. I know I can do better read more

I am a pretty open minded person but man that food was so bad and tasteless. Absolutely no flavor whatsoever. Not to mention our server was extremely rude. Definitely will not be back, don't waste your money here! read more

Excellent food. Great lighting fast service! The fajitas came out super fast and were hot and delicious!

Omer grave given is that ir was Cinco de Mayo. But.... Rude!!! Food was cold, mediocre and the margaritas are were disgusting. I love the one on Gate City Blvd. This is sub par!! We never received our appetizer but was charged any way. Asked for the check to be corrected. Granted it was busy but the server was rude when we asked for the receipt once it was corrected to make sure the amount was right. Then when he asked what the problem was when we asked to see the corrected receipt he kept arguing that it had been fixed. I then said for him to leave us alone and let us deal with the manager who was correcting the receipt he went off!! The manager told him, in Spanish, to leave it alone and he just kept talking!! Back to Gate City I will go!! Never had an issue there in the 6 or more years I've been going there!! read more

We were out doing some shopping and were in the mood for our favorite Mexican place. Not knowing there was more than the Gate City location, I searched for Santa Fe Mexican and my gps took us to this one. It wasn't very busy, so we headed in and were seated immediately. We asked the host if this was the same as the other location and he said, "yes." Of course, we were given our welcome chips and salsa, and ordered some queso blanco for the chips, as well. Indeed they were the same, my girlfriend's chimichangas were just as crispy (as ordered) and tasty, and they were quite willing to put the guacamole on the side (so I could have it). My camarones ( shrimp) were perhaps a touch overcooked, but otherwise tasty along with the rest of my meal. Tip: add a little queso blanco in the wrap with the other goodies for an extra flavor sensation. read more

Sufficient because it's close and they have outdoor seating, but it's gone downhill. Tacos tonight were not satisfying overall. I ordered a steak, Díabla, regular steak and chicken taco. The steak Diabla was delicious, but fell apart on the first bite because the tortilla was just so ridiculously flimsy. I had to pull a big chunk of the regular steak taco out of my mouth because it had so much gristle (embarrassing). The chicken taco had such a strange taste to it that I didn't finish it. The tacos were more "chintzy" than I remember from the past. I recall the tortillas being much better and sturdier. There're so many other great Mexican restaurants in Greensboro, so in the future, I will pass Santa Fe and go somewhere else. And the red salsa picante was watery. I ordered the bean dip, but they should call it cheese dip with a little bit of beans in it...far too much cheese (and not any better than Tostitos queso from the grocery store), so I sent it back. read more

I was in the mood for really good chicken fajitas so my car drove itself to Sante Fe Mexican Grill. I love the flavor of their chicken fajitas. They're loaded with onions, green peppers and onions and sautéed to perfection. (A little in the well done side like I like them) The meal started with a fresh basket of corn chips and salsa. I know not to wolf too many of them down so as not to ruin my meal. I also treated myself to a small stem frozen strawberry margarita. It really hit the spot! The accompaniment tray (toppings) for the fajitas was loaded refried beans, rice, guacamole, lettuce and tomatoes. There is every Mexican dish on the menu to fill your hearts desire. The restaurant is clean and festive inside. Spanish music was playing to set the mood and to augment your experience. The bar was very inviting. The waiter was polite and efficient. He wore a mask. The restaurant is a large shopping center so parking is not a problem. There was also a board at the entrance filled with daily specials. Go and have fun!! Feliz Navidad! read more

My cousin recently ordered food for her and her 7 year old daughter through Door dash from the one on Pisgah church. She had spoken to a lady earlier making sure her food was ready to be picked up. When she arrived a man told her someone picked up her order already. She said she couldn't have and had even spoken to someone on the phone earlier to confirm she hadn't picked it up yet. Rather than make her food again even after my cousin offered to pay again he refused. He then spoke to her VERY disrespectfully and told her to leave. As he told her to leave and as she proceeded to leave, he started getting in her face and pushing her out the door violently and aggressively. My cousin is only a 4"11, cheerleading coach, corporate America hardworking mom of a beautiful little girl. I am absolutely DISGUSTED by this behavior because that's physical assault & to think all over food that she paid for who they let someone else get but didn't just wanna admit it. You should be ashamed to call yourself a family establishment & we will not eat from EITHER location ever again. read more

The manager was very rude to my niece. She paid for her food via door dash and when she for there to pick up her food he kept telling her she had picked it up already. Now she had already spoke to door dash and confirmed she had not picked up her food. After she showed him her confirmation that she paid she just wanted her food. However he would not make her food. She even offered to just pay again and deal with door dash later. He didn't want t do that. Instead he asked her to leave and even got up very aggressively in her face. Sir this a young 4'11" small female why are you up in her face as if you are going to get physically violent with her. You will never have to worry about our business or anyone we know we either of your locations. This happened at the one off Pisgah and N. Elm. She then reordered her food a different way and tried to apologize with a note in which we will post too. No you can't treat people like this and expect it to be okay. Corporate is being contacted as we speak. Do not patronize this business. read more

Santa Fe Mexican Grill is the perfect place to get your Mexican food fix either at lunch or dinner time.

Their prices are very reasonable and you can either eat inside their dining room or enjoy the beautiful weather eating outside. I definitely recommend! read more

When I have a bad experience, I try to separate myself from the issue before writing a review. This is one of those times. I take pride in my reviews, so even though I wanted to give one star, I didn't I ordered to go. After about 20 minutes of waiting, I went up to the front counter, and even though there was no one there, my to go food was sitting there, waiting to go. It must have been there for a while because no one was there for at least 10 minutes But the truth is, the place was clean and delightful to be in. When I got the food home, it had a standard good Mexican taste. I've been to Mexican restaurants up and down the eastern sea board. I've probably been to a hundred or two. They are all generally in one of three groups... cardboard and plain tasting, good tasting but with no decoration (Monterrey restaurant is like this... great tasting but no glamour). And then places that really put effort to making great tasting food look like a party. This is the third. read more

Great food! Great service! Moi is our "go to " server. Typical Mexican restaurant decor. We eat here often.

I give Santa Fe an A (had to rhyme) So I can eat Mexican and day of the week and time of the day! If you follow me, this we know :) I wanted a carne asada quesadilla. Though I didn't find that I still got the next best thing. I ordered the De Fajita Quesadilla which comes with fajita veggies minus mushrooms which is perfect for me! It also had that nice light queso that just kicks it off right. It came with your choice of rice and beans but who wants to choose! All for under $11 It was delish. Nothing spectacular outside of the norm but it was good and what I ordered. They were accommodating because I wanted a beef deep which they didn't have but but one together for me which was dope. The staff was busy the day after thanksgiving but ran the store like champs. They are new to the Greensboro Pisgah Church area but has mad followers already try them out! read more
