El Callejón Taqueria & Grill

We happened to be one of the first few people in after they had just opened so we were able to be seated right away & order drinks. They hand out paper menu's, but they are a little weird as they aren't stapled together so it can be a little confusing when looking at them because it seems like a page or two was missing. Looking at their online menu it looks like there are several items online that weren't on the paper menu in restaurant. We also never received any kind of drink menu, so when my husband & my dad went to order their drinks and asked if they had margaritas we figured they would let us know what kind, but they didn't. They ended up getting a prickly pear margarita as I asked if they had them because I know it is my dad's favorite. Being as we didn't get a drink menu means the

If you’re looking for fast, delicious Mexican food, do NOT come here. It took us 20 mins to get drinks (just water btw), 40 minutes to get our appetizer (good chips but barely melted cheese, scant ingredients with subpar salsas), and 1 hr & 15 mins for our two entrees to arrive. At that point, we were throughly hangry, annoyed, and ready to leave and we left our food mostly untouched as it truly did look appetizing. We ordered a simple side of beans & that never even came. Idk if there was smth going on in their kitchen or they forgot to put in our order but 10/10 do not recommend.

We visited for dinner while in town. It’s a little off the beaten path which did make it less crowded. Service was friendly and helpful. They checked on us and kept drinks full. We started with chips, salsa, and guacamole. I didn’t care for the chips. They were thick, soggy and bland. The salsa had good flavor. The guacamole tasted pretty good but was too thin and runny. For dinner I tried the mole enchiladas. It was only ok. I’ve had better mole. It didn’t have much heat and I’m more used to a richer flavor. The portion of chicken was fairly small. I also didn’t care for the rice. Others at the table had the tacos and loved them. They particularly enjoyed the vegetarian and tofu tacos. Atmosphere was ok. It’s pretty inside with nice big windows to the street. They had some music play

When you think of a family owed restaurant in Santa Fe with traditional Mexican food fused with the local southwest flavors, this embodies all that is delightful to your palette. Standing at the bar, listening to the history of how the restaurant came to fruition made me appreciate the cuisine that much more. The tacos were such a delectable delight, especially to have the burst of flavor from the grilled pineapple mixed with the spicy salsa. I'm in food coma heaven.

AMAZING PLACE!!! Don’t be fooled by the keyboard critics, Kevin and his team made us some of the best food I’ve had in years ! After a long drive they made us feel welcomed like I was in their home town in Mexico, it’s a shame they’ve been getting put down by wanna be food critics ! If you are in Santa Fe I urge you to go in and have a phenomenal experience with great margs and even better food, p.s. price was more than reasonable for being right by the historic Santa Fe plaza !
