Food was very good and fresh our go to is the steak tacos the only thing I did notice when I got the taco salad with steak there was hardly no steak in it not sure what happened but overall pretty good and they have the blue atreat soda daughters favorite!! The only negative is when u get the tortilla soup u get these little crispy tortilla sticks in a little cup and they are so good to snack on when I asked if I could just buy some of them they said no it only comes with the soup?! If I owned a business and someone wanted to purchase something I already make I wouldn't loose that money I'd do it for them but I guess to each their own I even told them to name their price I didn't care that they were so good lol read more

There generosity is above reproach. So my daughter recently ordered from this restaurant. Unfortunately do a technical error the order was not correct. The owners were more than gracious and replaced the entire order. Now to us. We were honored to share in the excess. My take away it's Mexican fusion. I loved the subtle nuances of the cauliflower tacos which reminded me of a Mediterranean wrap with a MexTex flare! Whether you've lived here for awhile or just moved to the area you've got to try this restaurant . It's brilliant and upscale! Please order or stop by. You will not be disappointed read more

This is a casual American cafeteria-style restaurant specializing in Mexican foods I.e. tacos, burritos, quesadillas, empanadas, tamales, enchiladas. They also sell Salads and housemade Chili. Came in on a Tues, so we ordered Taco Tuesday Special, which is buy 3 tacos, get fourth free. We got one ground beef taco, one fish taco and two shrimp tacos with Coke Zero Sugar. Shrimp taco had spicy sauce added that made it good; that was our favorite. Tacos were topped with plenty of lettuce and tomato, and shredded cheese on ground beef taco. read more

Sometimes, the only thing that hits the spot is a Santa fe taco. It doesn't look like much from the outside, but if I were on death row, I would choose a couple of beef tacos and a dessert chimi from Santa fe! It gets crazy busy at lunch and dinner time but staff is very quick read more

Santa Fe Taco - Sorry, I ate it before taking the pic this is what's left of my tacos. - Mexican Near Me - Northampton, Pennsylvania

The tacos here are reasonably priced and prepared quickly. Their daily specials are always different. They are not very fancy and that's okay when it comes to tacos, because the simpler the better in my opinion. As long they are tasty, which Santa Fe's are read more

food is excellent at a reasonable price. been in the town for ages and serves the community well

My friend and I are on the hunt for the best tacos in the Lehigh Valley. Sante Fe Taco is officially the third on our search, and didn't fare so well. We're specifically looking for street style tacos and Sante Fe does not have them. What they do have is an American taco: a fried flour shell, meat with cheese, lettuce and tomato. We ate anyway, of course! Since I'd like to compare apples to apples I went with chicken and spicy pork tacos. The pork was not spicy. Overall the tacos were basic, not very flavorful, but filling. They had a few different sauce options, I didn't particularly like any of them. The atmosphere of the restaurant feels like a pizza parlor to me, but I liked that it was loud and we could have a good conversation without anyone hearing us (one of our chief complaints on our search so far). The meal was affordable, I didn't go away hungry, but I probably won't go back. The food wasn't bad, I'm just looking for something else. read more

Great tacos, always get way too many but it's well worth it. Fish tacos are the best!! The young adults working are friendly and the owner is hand on! I wish they were open everyday! read more

I've had better food at a soup kitchen. Let me first start with, If I walk into establishment and they have a "coin dozer" and "claw machine" game I should instantly expect the worst. This restaurant was absolutely disgustingly dirty. The walls had maybe 3 inches of black grime on the bottom of them they were also covered with food splatter. Played it safe ordered a veggie burrito. Service was fast! but, the food was terrible. The burrito was made with yellow rice, black beans, and grilled veggies that had the same characteristics and consistency of canned beef stew. I would highly NOT recommend this. read more

Santa Fe Taco - Disgusting. - Mexican Near Me - Northampton, Pennsylvania

We ordered 2 taco salads that were loaded. Considering we live 40 minutes away we checked our order before we left. Good thing we did, We also ordered chips and salsa and a 2nd order of chips withe queso. There was no chips and salsa. So I ran back in to get the chips and salsa, the girl who took our order needed to verify? by checking what she rang up before fixing their mistake. We literally were the only customer so this was just annoying and holding us up from making the 40 minute drive home. Still no salsa? Apparently we are supposed to have psychic abilities and know to get our own salsa from the bar in front of the counter. Although they were not busy and employees were just standing around, I was dissatisfied with this obviously error. read more

Tacos are very good. Service is fast too.

Service is terrible. No employees wearing masks! Place is filthy. There are so many restaurants who respect and care about their customers. Save time and aggravation and patronize them instead. read more

Great food and many options on the menu. The owner and staff are all very accommodating and nice. One of my most favorite taco eateries in the Lehigh Valley! read more

The best Mexican food in the area. I've eaten here several times and the food was always fresh and delicious. The building isn't fancy, you park in the back and walk into a few back doors into a nondescript building but it is clean. I see people cleaning constantly. The food prep area looks clean. I always feel like I'm walking into my favorite hidden gem. Although not so hidden....There's a reason there is usually a line out the door....great food! Check out their daily specials and tacos of the month. Free margaritas on Wednesdays. read more

Love this place. It is my favorite taco spot. I've been going here for 10+ years no one does tacos like them.

A great place to stop. In fact we stopped twice. Both times we went thru Northampton. We were biking on the D&L and found this on Google maps. I loved the shrimp tacos and the mango chipotle salsa. DH had a bowl with beef and beans and a lot of other stuff. All good read more

Nice little spot in Northampton for good tacos. Few things to note if you go here: 1) Plenty of sauces 2) Plenty of sour cream What we liked: 1) Chips and guacamole were really one of a kind 2) Beef and Steak Tacos were amazing! Areas for improvement: 1) Burrito was below average. For some reason the burrito meat tasted different and over seasoned than the taco meat? Girlfriend took two bites and said something was off.. then I tried and completely agreed. 2 ) Fish taco execution was good but the fish was over salted to the point where it was not edible Conclusion: Great place but there was some inconsistency in the food. Will go again. read more

The taco salads a the best and the fries are too. The staff is quick and the tables are always being cleaned. My husband love the poppers and quesadillas. read more

August 16, 2011 - Update: I've just been informed that Santa Fe Taco uses bacon fat, lard and chicken broth in otherwise vegetarian dishes. I should have checked this before writing the review I hope the management at Santa Fe chooses to create truely vegetarian dishes but until then I will have to leave this as a one star. ******************************************************************************* Original Review: Vegetarians rejoice! The Roasted Vegetable Burrito is a NOT the typical sprouts and wheat grass usually offered to those of us who don't eat meat. It is a gigantic, jam-packed, glorious feast that takes two days to eat. Seriously, I think it weighs over a pound! They have a condiment bar with various salsas and hot sauces to please every palette. You can replace meat with roasted vegetables in all of their dishes. They make everything fresh so you can have it any way you like it! Yum! PS This is by no means a "vegetarian" establishment. They just happen to offer something for everyone. Nice. read more

Hubby & I really love this place. My hubby grew up in the area & he used to rave about a place called Take-A-Taco that had closed a dozen years ago. About 3-4 years ago we discovered that Take-A-Taco still existed & was tied to the Sante Fe Taco Co. in Northampton. Hubby says they're tacos are a smidge different than the original Take-A-Taco, but they're still yummy delicious. They offer a choice of seasoned meats (shredded chicken, ground beef, shredded pork or sausage) to choose from for their regular tacos, but they also offer "specialty" tacos, such as a cheese steak taco. For those wanting to skip the meat, SFTC offers "specialty" black bean tacos, grilled veggie tacos, &, my favorite, fish tacos. Most of their tacos are served in lightly grilled flour tortillas with shredded lettuce and cheese (the fish tacos come w/ guacamole instead of cheese). The black bean taco is also offered in a hard, corn taco shell. SFTC offers more than just tacos. They also serve burritos, enchiladas, tamales (very good), chile rellenos, soup, chili, etc. Their prices are very reasonable, the portions are satisfying, and the staff is pleasant. Give them a try for a very casual Beth-Mex 'fast-food' meal! read more

Mixed feelings most of food good been a while since had homemade fries and those were great, did dine in little rustic like old time pizza shop but fair ! Will eat their again ! read more

perfection on a tortilla. I don't even know where to begin. Taco Tuesday (buy three get one free)? yeah, i'm there almost every week. get the pulled pork tacos and thank me later. Cara fancies the baby scallop tacos quite a bit, can't say I'm a fan. if pork and scallops isn't your bag, there's also classic beef, ground sausage, chicken, greek style with gyro meat, and more... delicious chiles rellenos? yes, please. giant, deep fried apple burrito with vanilla ice cream? you got it. mouth watering cheese enchiladas with green chile sauce? yup. sweet chipotle chicken wings? bangin'. if there is a heaven, if im lucky enough to even be there, and if there are tacos being served, the good folks at Santa Fe should be doing the catering. only complaint, the tacos are so damn good, they have prevented my from trying some of the other menu items (like their burritos)! read more

A friend and I , had take-out for dinner and it was AMAZING! Southwestern Chicken Salad was really great! The chili, (lip smacking good) with just the right amount of heat, for me! Don't let the location fool you! Your tastebuds will thank you! read more

Really good food!! First time here and I would definitely go back! Tried the steak tacos with fries (boardwalk style), both were very fresh. Love the portions of fries and the size of the tacos were huge. Also tried the fried pickles with our meal, the southwestern ranch dip was superb. While your there, try the pineapple salsa that you can grab yourself on the side. This place would have more traffic if advertised better I feel. read more

Very cool place with affordable and tasty food! Liked the overall atmosphere. Staff could have been a bit more cheerful but it wasn't the worst. Service was quick and efficient. Get as little or as much food as you can handle. Free wifi too! read more

Great idea; needs work. I love the idea of a Buffalo chicken, scallop, or fire roasted vegetable taco. Unfortunately, none really delivered on their promise. The star was probably the scallop taco -- deep fried and crispy with a tasty creamy chipotle sauce. The Buffalo chicken tacos were close, but needed something like blue cheese or ranch and some chopped celery to really be called Buffalo chicken. But the clear worst was the fire roasted vegetables, which seemed more steamer tray than fire roasted -- mushy and completely devoid of flavor, lacking anything close to the expected sweetness of real roasted veggies. Otherwise a very clean and pleasant stop if you are going to the D&L trail nearby. read more

I had to say that the pineapple salsa by far was the very great tasting. However I feel that this time when I came it was rushed and my tacos where soggy. I will say... read more

3 for 2 Taco Tuesday! Haven't had tacos this authentic since I spent some time in L.A. I have to bra regular and sample everything else ...

Great Mexican "fun food". Hold a burrito in your hand and it weighs like a ton! Fantastic taco variety, anything from scallop tacos to chicken. And, be sure to try the breakfast burrito.. Great place for kids -- high energy atmosphere read more

Consistently good, friendly staff all the time, never had any complaints. Fresh salsa always! read more

Called and was put on hold, they said it would be a couple seconds but I waited 5 minutes before I got hung up on.

I'm not a regular person there although the food is good. I called on Sunday about 4:15 to place an order. The website said Sunday 12-5. No one answered, so I tried online ordering. That was not available til the future, so I drove down because a message on the website said they were closing soon. I got there a little after 4:30. The lights were on, but a big sign inside said that they were closed Sunday's and Monday's. This is uncalled for. I came down because I thought they were too busy to answer the phone. Who is supposed to be in charge, or is the public just supposed to magically know the "real" hours. I will not take that chance again and waste my time, and gas!! read more

Went this past Saturday afternoon for a late lunch. Place has plenty of seating. It was a warm day. No AC and not much coolness but being after Labor Day. I could understand. There was a couple of tables out front but no umbrellas near them or in the tables. But I wasn't there for that. Plenty of all types of tacos. All sort of specials every day of the week. Cheap lunch I had chicken tacos. REALLY TASTY! The chicken was shredded and you didn't have to question. Where's the meat. The place was clean. The food was fast. I would come again to try other items on their menu. On street and off street parking is good too. read more

All the food is prepared fresh and the portions are generous. Be prepared to wait on line if it's a Friday or weekend night- there is a movie theater a few stores away and when it empties everyone hits the 'Fe. Our only issue with this place is that every time we go our order gets messed up. I'm not sure if it's because it's so busy but I can always count on something missing or getting the wrong item. The frustration is worth it though cause the food is delicious! read more
