This place was featured on Diners Drive-ins and Dives. We’ve been to the old and new location. I had a Christmas burrito (red and green chili). The meal also came with a bakery basket including cinnamon rolls, muffins and biscuits.

Tecolote Cafe– Santa Fe New Mexico
March 19, 2017
On the drive home from Phoenix every year I always look
forward to eating in Santa Fe. Years ago
Tecolote Cafe was on Diners Drive in's and Dives and we visited and enjoyed it very
much. Since then they ended up closing
for a while, then they reopened recently in a new location so we decided to
visit and check them out again. We ended up getting here closer to lunchtime,
but I was still wanting breakfast so I ordered a breakfast burrito with bacon
and Christmas style with red and green chili. Dad had a burrito with sausage and also
Christmas style and mom had some sort of breakfast with green chili. All these came
with a bakery basket.
Soon after we
ordered the bakery basket arrived with three each of biscuits, muffins and
cinnamon rolls along with butter and strawberry jam. Everything in this basket was absolutely
delicious. After we ate some of these our plates arrived.
My burrito was a pretty big burrito and had
the fried potatoes on the side. The
potatoes I thought were good, but they did need a little salt. My burrito was excellent and what usually
happens is I can't tell which chili was better, and this is what happened here.
I very much enjoyed both the red and
green chili and the burrito itself. Once we were done eating or as much as we
could eat we asked for a box for our rest of our bakery basket and the waiter
laughed and said absolutely not and then laughed again and went and got a box
and brought it back and even brought lids for the butter and the jam so we could
take those with us too. We had a rather large breakfast and still had quite a
bit of the bakery basket to take with us and were able to enjoy them later. I was rather happy with our meal at Tecolote
Cafe and can't wait to return sometime in the future.

Maria's New Mexican Kitchen – Santa Fe New Mexico
March 13, 2016
I had a tip from my pastor that this place was very good. So
since we eat somewhere in Santa Fe every year on the way back from Phoenix we
planned a stop. When we arrived it was not very full, but it did take a couple
minutes for us to be seated.
Once we were our drink orders were taken and chips
and salsa was delivered. I didn’t think the chips were all that good and the
salsa tasted good, but it was a bit too hot for me. After a bit we ordered;
mom
had green chile stew and dad and I both ordered the cheese enchilada plate
Christmas style because I can’t ever decide if I want red or green chili, so I
just usually get both. This also came with rice and beans and a sopapilla.
These enchiladas were blue corn stacked enchiladas like they should be in New
Mexico. They were excellent to begin with but the red and green chili were both
amazing on top with the perfect amount of heat. I don’t even want to try to
pick a favorite I thought it was perfect with some of each the beans and rice
were all right as well.
When we were about done our waiter brought out a fresh
basket of sopapillas. I hadn’t had a sopapilla for quite a while and it was hot
and delicious and perfect with the honey. This was a great meal to end our trip
with and I would definitely go back and would recommend it to anybody that
wants a good place for New Mexican food in Santa Fe.

Chris’ Café Santa Fe New Mexico
March 12, 2015
3568 Cerrillos Rd, Santa Fe, NM 87507
Driving home from phoenix and Albuquerque each year we find
a different place to stop for lunch in Santa Fe. This year we picked Chris’
Café. This place is owned by Chris who was formerly from Tecolote café which
was on diners drive-ins and dives years ago. So we stopped in around lunchtime
this place is small and very crowded and not all tables were wheelchair
accessible there was only one available which was rather small for the three of
us. First we were all three ordered cokes and shortly thereafter our waitress
was back to take our orders. I had the bacon breakfast burrito and I had it
Christmas style because I can never figure out which to choose, so I just got
both. Dad had the sausage burrito and
did the same thing with the chili.
And mom got an omelet with green chili.
I
thought this burrito was very good and was an all right size not the biggest
one I’ve ever had but decent size it also had beans and hash browns on the
side. This was a perfect meal for our last day of our trip and I couldn’t stop
thinking about how great my burrito was all the way home and I never could
figure out which chili I liked best because they were both delicious.

Blue corn Café and Brewery - Santa Fe New Mexico
March 12, 2013

On this day we were driving home from Albuquerque and
stopped in Santa Fe for lunch when we arrived we were taken to a table. it seemed like we sat there for quite a while
before anyone came but they finally did mom and I both ordered Pepsi's $2.50
and dad tried there homemade root beer for $2.75 he thought it was good. The waitress dropped off the drinks and left
for a while. By the time she came back
we were ready to order because we had plenty of time to look at the menu. Mom
and I both got the lunch green Chile stew for $8.75 and dad got the green
chili cheeseburger $10.75.
We waited a bit and in not too long our lunches were brought
out.
My green Chile stew was in a huge bowl and I wasn't sure if I'd be able to
actually finish it. This was really good but was not real spicy, a
little bit but not real spicy with potatoes with posole along with pork and of
course green chilies. Also on the side were a tortilla which was a good tortilla
and a sopapilla.
By the time I
finished my green Chile stew and the tortilla I couldn’t handle the sopapilla. So
I got a box with honey packets and ate it later. This green Chile stew was so
good that it inspired me to try to make my own which I did and it came out
pretty good.
Dad thought that his green Chile cheeseburger was good, but not
great. he also thought the fries were
just so-so. From my side the table I thought his green Chile cheeseburger
looked quite tasty and I might be trying that out next time I visit.

Harrys Roadhouse - Santa Fe, NM
March 13, 2012
We were headed back home and thought we would just eat lunch
in Santa Fe. This Place was featured on Diners
Drive Ins and Dives. I knew it was right off the interstate and not too hard to
find. When we got there they said it will be a little bit of a wait. While we
were waiting more people kept coming in behind us and getting their names on
the waiting list. It actually took quite a while to get a table because there
were limited tables that were easy to get a wheelchair to. But while we were
waiting a manager looking type was kind of actually quite entertaining to watch
him talking to employees and to other customers. After we were seated it seemed
like the service was kind of slow but not necessarily bad. It took a little
while to figure out what I wanted to from the menu. There were choices on the
menu from vegetarian and vegan type things, which if you read my blog often you
know that I'm not going there, to choices with meat, light choices to more
filling items. I did finally decide to get the half grilled cheese sandwich
which I added ham along with the chicken noodle soup. My mom had the same thing without the ham. My
dad decided to try the turkey Reuben which I was kind of surprised by that, but
he wanted to see if it would be any good compared to a normal Reuben which is
one of his favorites.
The grilled cheese sandwich also had caramelized onions in
it along with Tillamook cheddar this sandwich was really good. It tasted kind of like French onion soup in a
sandwich and the ham was a nice addition to it. The soup was really good as
well. It had a very good broth with
noodles and vegetables which included peas which I thought was a little
different but was still okay.
My dad thought his sandwich was good, but would prefer a traditional Reuben. This place felt a lot different than most places I’ve
been, but the food tasted really good.
My
parents both decided to get pie, a piece of lemon meringue and a piece of chocolate
cream pie. I tasted both and thought
both were pretty good, but I think I liked the chocolate slightly better. They were both good pies but I think the
crust could've been better.
If you can handle a long wait this would be a place for a
very good meal.
