Always a great experience when we go in or order. Today we ordered through grubhub. I had a rough day, made a joking comment on my order, and they responded with amazing food as usual! But they also included free queso and lovely notes of encouragement. 10/10 recommend to everyone - especially us moms having a tough day 💕
I enjoy the happy hour deals here! Normally I sit at the bar. The food is delicious and they have a large margarita menu with specialty margs. Free chips and salsa is a huge plus! Full meals are a little pricy and don’t expect too much spice, but a nice campus visit. Indoor and outdoor seating.
Have eaten at Sante Fe several times for both lunch and dinner and always had a good time. Service has always been fast and friendly. The outdoor seating is nice. The free chips and salsa are a nice perk. The Margheritas are great. And the Chicken Fajitas and Street Tacos are delicious. Highly recommended.
Our daughter lives in the area and heard a lot of hype about this place. We decided to check it out for dinner. Perhaps it had been too hyped to us, because we weren’t impressed. Our server clearly didn’t know the wine selections, so when my husband ordered a Cabernet Sauvignon he seemed unsure of whether the bar offered that and offered a Pinot noir. Upon discovering the bar menu on our table we saw Cabernet Sauvignon is one of ONLY 4 reds served of 8 wines in total. We were not off to a great start with our server, but rolled with it. We’re a family of four, we ordered tacos from the appetizer menu, a shrimp burrito, short rib enchiladas and a short rib chimichanga (pictured). Portions were generous though all of our rice & bean sides were barely room temperature, rice filler to meat ratio was a little disappointing. Flavors/seasoning was mediocre. Prices were fair for the portions. Booth seating was a little uncomfortable in that the seats benches were low for the table height. Our kids thought the best part was the complimentary chips (served warm) and salsa. Overall, nothing to brag about here.
Santa Fe Mexican Grill - Newark: A Fiesta of Flavors and Fun! Santa Fe Mexican Grill in Newark is a must-visit for anyone craving authentic Mexican cuisine and a vibrant atmosphere. From the moment we sat down, we were impressed. The huge margaritas were a sight to behold, and the $5 happy hour margaritas were an absolute steal! The meal started perfectly with fresh, crispy chips and homemade salsa, a classic that Santa Fe executes flawlessly. For my main course, I opted for the Baja Tacos with Rice and Beans, and I was not disappointed. The beer-battered fish was incredibly crispy, and the fresh, finely chopped veggie and cilantro topping added a burst of flavor that elevated the dish to another level. The chefs truly do a fabulous job preparing the tacos, showcasing their skill and dedication to quality. Beyond the delicious food and drinks, the service was exceptional. Long Island Chris, our server, was super! He was attentive, friendly, and made our dining experience even more enjoyable. The pet-friendly covered outdoor seating is a fantastic bonus, allowing us to enjoy our meal in the fresh air with our furry friend. Overall, Santa Fe Mexican Grill offers a delightful dining experience with generous portions, delicious food, and excellent service. Whether you're looking for a casual happy hour spot or a place to enjoy a flavorful Mexican meal, Santa Fe Mexican Grill in Newark is a fantastic choice. Highly recommended!
