    Even though the restaurant was not crowded, we were sat in a booth directly across from the kitchen, which was loud, noisy, dishes, being tossed into bins, and the waiters waitresses and hosts were congregating and chatting there. It was very distracting and very loud. I would make this the absolute last place to put someone. Additionally, we were diagonal from a mess on the floor that never got cleaned up the entire time we were there. It is extremely unsightly to see my buckets, brooms and rags tossed on the floor, almost directly across from us. The ambiance and the decor is tired looking, the place was dark, but our server was excellent, and the food was very good.

    guacamole was 14 dollars and came out immediately so it was definitely not made fresh, and you could tell.

    I was excited about going here for the first time . The food to be was not truly authentic or what I am used to too . The service was very slow for us not sure if it was us they didn’t have want to serve but didn’t feel welcoming . It’s a mostly college student restaurant so maybe that’s it we not in college just a family out for dinner . My husband enjoyed his food and the empanadas were good .

    We love Sante Fe’s dishes, service, and value! There’s not one thing on the menu that isn’t delicious. Their drinks are large and tasty, and their nachos are the best!
