When they are full, there is an extremely high noise level. Otherwise, pleasant. Food is great, copious, and fast. We will return.

I love this place I've stopped here a few times and every time I leave full and satisfiedI had Asada tacos and Al Pastor. The Al pastor was good , the tacos tasted amazing.But what really won me in coming back was the Asada. Really great flavor that melts on your tongue.There's a drink called loco something and the bar tender always makes them taste like heaven.

Javier, their new host, is very sweet and attentive! We order apps here primarily...queso dip all the way! The chunky style of guacamole is the only way to go! Friendly staff!

We went in last Friday around 8 pm and we loved our meals! Their jalapeño queso dip is to die for! As a born and raised Texan who moved to Washington 2 years ago, I've been desperately looking for amazing queso that reminded me of home, and this place has it! Their carne asada fajitas are delicious, although to tortillas are a bit small. This is perfectly fine though because the tortillas are made by hand which I love. The service was great! Our waiter was very friendly, and I could tell all the waiters were. The food came out very quickly and everything was delicious!

It was our second time at this restaurant. We ordered fish tacos & pork tacos. The fish was heavily deep fried & the amount of fish was very skimpy. It was supposed to be cod but it was so over-fried that it was impossible to tell whether it was cod or tilapia. Plate presentation was nice but the the taste & quality of food was just mediocre. Pork tacos were even worse than fish tacos. In fact later that night I had severe belly ache most of the night consistent with spoiled or un-fresh food. Service was very good; friendly & attentive. However, it's not likely we'll be going back there anytime soon. This was at their new Ballard location.

I LOVE this place. Even when they are busy, the staff is so attentive. They always serve delicious chips with salsa and are kind and really make it an experience. Our favorite waiter to get is Chipe (aka Jose) . He always has good recommendations, and is is on top of serving us in a timely manner. He is kind and charismatic! . My favorite dish here is Mar Y Tiarra - carne Asada with shrimp. It's absolutely delicious. I've also come here with people who ordered all sorts of things and never once heard to complaint . The tortillas are made here in House and you can tell. Definitely recommend. Get a giant margarita if you're feeling like really having a good time enjoy!!

I ordered the chicken tortilla soup on delivery while I was sick and I have to say it almost brought me to tears of happiness. It was so fire. It was hot, a large amount, packaged perfectly. I also got a side of the guacamole and it was delicious. I’d give another star if it let me.

Literally in love with the staff at this restaurant. I work in the same plaza and go over at least three times a week to get food for myself and my coworkers. Carlos, José and Gabriel are all so sweet and nice, and ask about my day whenever I go in. They all truly go above and beyond, from remembering my order to even hand delivering the food my job when I had to run back over while waiting for my order. Love you all!

Santa Fe Mexican Grill & Cantinas are hands down the best Mexican restaurants in the Seattle area!! We usually go to the Edmonds location but then this place opened up and we live right up the street, so it was the best of both worlds!!! We visited on one of their first opening days and while it was good, it still had room for improvements (just as most places do when they first open a new location). But that didn't phase us and we have been back many times since and they are now just as good as their Edmonds location! I usually get the shrimp fajitas because that's my favorite (and the shirmp are huge!) but i recently branched out and ordered the Fajitas Rancheras and it did not disappoint! The portions are huge so we had tons of leftovers! My mom loves the Burrito Santa Fe with shredded beef (it's so good) and she always has leftover for a few days! Their chips and guacamole are amazing! And the ceviche, fresh tortillas and their Margaritas are great too!! Great service and warm atmosphere! I highly recommend coming and trying it for yourself!!

The food was good and plentiful. We all took home leftovers. The salsa has a good "kick." The chips are fresh. Being a home cook of Mexican food, the dishes were appropriately prepared. I was disappointed not to find cheese enchiladas on the menu; but, I didn't ask about it either. Our server was excellent and very friendly but not overly so.
