Reviews for Santa Fe Mexican Grill & Cantina Downtown Kirkland in Kirkland, WA

One of the best guacamole and Mexican food I had. Service is super fast and the salsa and chips best. Drinks are great... including house margaritas. I have to come back here just to have lunch. Highly recommended. Read more

Santa Fe in downtown Kirkland offers a sidewalk location, delicious food and huge margaritas. The food style leans towards... authentic. Our street tacos and burritos were garnished with fresh extras such as salsa and guacamole, showing an attention todetail that was immediately noticed. Generous portions of well seasoned food that will temp you to eat it all in one sitting. Myonly regret is that I didn't snap a photo. We will be back soon! Read more

Mar y tierra platter is very tasty! I will come back

The service was awesome! The loco rum, Tamarindo margarita, Pollo a la crema, Pollo la chipotle, avocado tostado was very good.... My family enjoyed dinner. Even though we waited for 20 minutes for a table, overall our experience was good. Parking around therestaurant was very difficult. We didn't realize that we can't parking on a Saturday at 5:30 p.m. The only thing that dampenedmy experience was an older person who yelled at me in front of the restaurant saying "get out of my fu***** way". The personcould be drunk, or, under the influence of drugs. So, please be aware of the rude people around the restaurant. Read more

The service here is amazing. Mostly family run and everyone seems to really like their jobs. Everyone is super helpful to both... guests and one another. The bartender we?ve had every time we?ve been here, Javier, is very attentive, friendly, and takes thetime to talk to and remember people. The Al pastor tacos, chorizo queso, and carne asada are incredible. If you want a greattaco Tuesday this is the place to be. Read more

Chips and salsa are sooo good!! I'd go back just for that. We ordered four different items from lunch menu. The plates are big... and so tasty. We're from Texas the home of Mexican food and felt like we got value for our money. We'll go back anytime we're inSeattle! Read more

Went for apps and drinks, queso Blanco was amazing! I wish they had a spicier salsa though.

The Camarones A La Diabla were great! The platter arrived quickly and with grace, like a great many sailed frigate docking... safely into port! My wife?s Tamarindo Margarita was delicious and seemed big enough to swim in. Definitely got the job done andI did the driving home. Then came the guacamole which after the abundance of Camarones was a bit of a surprise. A tiny bowl ofguac that looked like a small moon circling the rich and shrimpy plate. That?s it? Looked nothing like the picture in the menu,which promised a bountiful chunky looking green treasure. What they had was tiny and, bland. So then I addressed the brains inthe family (wife) upon who?s happiness all satisfaction rests, and I say, Do you like your chicken taco? And she gets a funnylook on her face and my heart drops. She says reluctantly, it?s?okay. I say, what? You don?t like it? and she admits it?s bland.It?s hard to enjoy my savory Camarones when I know my wife is unhappy. She said her Enchilada was better, but I didn?t see anyfireworks going off. Ok? good chips, plus 1 point. Nice waitress, definitely worth 1 point. Huge plate of tender spicyCamarones, 2 points. Tipsy wife, 1 point. Gigantic glass iced tea, add 1 point. Teeny tiny bowl of bland guacamole, minus 1point. Boring chicken taco, minus 1 point. Funny old man who hung his coat on the back of our booth so my wife had a hard timegetting out? no point loss although it was weird. So that?s 4 right? I?d probably drop just a tad more, like half a star,because when my wife is unhappy, I?m unhappy, but the are no half stars. Read more
