Steve Plaskon
Fast and friendly service. Started with the queso, salsa and chips. The queso was delicious. I had the painted desert soup and outrageous chimichanga and both were both amazing. The ribeye was also great. The seasoning on the sweet potato fries a little strong. Overall a good experience and I will be back.

Server Kevin was great. Don’t be fooled by the size of the $50 King Cut Bone in blackened ribeye. Size doesn’t always equal good. It’s like chewing on a leather boot. Very poor quality grade meat.

Possibly the best porch chips I’ve ever had. Soup was amazing. Drinks were fantastic.

Was a nice place to eat. No complaints. Great wait staff and the food portions were very large. The food was better than your typical texmex you get at the regular run of the mill Mexican restaurant. The portions were so big that most couples at our table split their main courses. One had the burrito and another had shrimp tacos. Both were excellent, and pictured below. They had a great variety of Margaritas where the majority of them didn’t just include a sugary lime mix – they had actual fruit juices and liquor. Probably my favorite part of my meal. I’d recommend trying out Santa Fe Cafe.

Upon entering, you are greeted by the wonderful smell of N.M. incense, grilled meats & chili! Service was excellent, food & drinks came out in perfect cadence, which is hard to find nowadays! Rachel, our server was amazing. She was attentive, but not intrusive. Highly recommend!

Greg Squyres
My wife and I were celebrating our wedding anniversary and looking for a nice place for dinner. Since her favorite type of food is Mexican food, we searched for a place on the island that served that type of cuisine in a casual, comfortable setting. We hit our target with Santa Fe Cafe.

David Lazy
Great food. Great service. A tad expensive, but then again, you get what you pay for. And at Senta Fe Cafe, you get the best porkchop, steak fajita, chimichanga, churro, and margaritas that you’ve ever had!
