Santa Fe Cafe

We ate here last night and each of us had one of the best meals of our trip! Everything is flavorful and not just spicy but has actual flavor. Only complaint is that the tables need to be bigger to accommodate more plates. They do have a gluten free menu which is so helpful, would be nice to see more vegetarian gluten free options. The fajitas should come with beans and rice like everywhere else. Salmon should also come with beans. Service was great.

Went for dinner on a Saturday night. Sat upstairs in the cantina, under cover during rain. It was a very pleasant and intimate space (with one exception described below). We had an awesome server, Adam, and most of our food was delicious. But here's why I can't give it more than three stars... I can't eat gluten. I picked this restaurant because they have a gluten-sensitive menu. When I made the reservation, there was an option to note that someone in the party had a gluten sensitivity. When we arrived at the restaurant, the hostess confirmed that I have a gluten sensitivity and she gave me the gluten-sensitive menu when she seated us. By that point, I was really impressed by the awareness and attention to my dietary restriction. However, that's where the attention to my gluten sensitivity ended. We ordered all the appetizers included on the gluten-sensitive menu - shrimp cocktail, ceviche, guacamole, and queso fundido. And THREE of them were served with a wedge of fried FLOUR tortilla sticking out of them. None of the dishes needed a wedge of flour tortilla. It was just a garnish. So why include it in items ordered from the gluten-sensitive menu? Really, why include it at all? Additionally, I was disappointed that items on their regular menu, such as tacos, didn't have a corn tortilla option...such an easy change that would make more things accessible for people who can't eat gluten. Plus, why would an upscale Mexican restaurant not have corn tortillas in general? Last, there was another waiter upstairs who was very loud. He was a know-it-all and he was constantly micromanaging our waiter. At one point he was telling our waiter something about the HVAC system, and he walked right up behind someone in our party, speaking loudly over our table and pointing his arm over her head. It was like he had no consideration for the guest experience. Food highlights: Pork tenderloin with Mexican rice subbed for sweet potato fries, chocolate mousse, ceviche, shrimp cocktail, paloma margarita.
