Santa Fe Uptown

Amazing!  We had dinner here this past weekend. Even before we walked in the door the service was on point. The gentlemen outside saw us park as we went to the feed the meter he stopped us and told us that we didn't have to on Saturday.  Our Server Julia, was sweet, professional and in-tuned with her guests.  When we sat down at our table, it was a little rocky.  She must have saw us, came over immediately and fixed the situation.  We asked for drink and appetizer suggestions and and she had some great recommendations. Calamari, is a must. I loved my Santa Fe Margarita.  Pork tacos to die for.  Food & drinks, all delicious. Atmosphere was simple yet refined. (my only suggestion would be to add some textiles to soften some of the noise) Desserts are great, especially my Tijuana after dinner drink.  If you are in the area, or if you want to take a scenic drive up PLEASE do yourself a favor and stop here! I'll be back (so worth the hour drive)

Went here for dinner this past weekend with a large group of girls. We sat outside to enjoy the nice warm weather. I had a late lunch, so only ordered the black bean soup which hit the spot. It was just the right consistency, size, and had a wonderful blend of flavors. As I arrived last, I didn't get to try to chips, salsa, and guacamole since the rest of the girls CLEANED the plates off. I'm assuming they were THAT good. :P

We had pitchers of margaritas that were nice, but could have been stronger. The rest of the girls ordered entrees and the portions were huge; I don't think anyone was able to finish their whole plate.

Not a big deal, but it was a bit confusing figuring out who worked there, since the servers were all wearing random clothes (interesting that there isn't a uniform, but some name tags might be helpful). Regardless, the service was great and the food came out fast.

Food is delicious, but I think the taco portions are a bit small for what you are paying. $16.95 for two fish or steak tacos, greens, rice & beans is a bit steep.
