Santa Fe Southwest Grill

We went into Santa Fe last night for dinner.

Service: Our waiter José was INCREDIBLE. He was so kind and attentive. He even had some good conversations with our toddler. The manager stopped by as well to see how everything was going.

Meal: we've been to just about everywhere out here, and this was by far the best meal we've had. Everyone was extremely happy with their meals! The raspberry margaritas are incredible.

We don't go out often, but this was an amazing experience and we will be back!

Tex-Mex Delight: Santa Fe

Restaurant Review: Santa Fe Southwest Grill - A Tex-Mex Delight in Rock Springs, Wyoming

Located in the heart of Rock Springs, Wyoming, Santa Fe Southwest Grill is a hidden gem that promises a delightful culinary journey through Tex-Mex and American flavors. As a self-proclaimed food enthusiast, I couldn't wait to try out their renowned Border Burger, which I had heard countless rave reviews about. From the moment I walked in, I knew I was in for a treat.

Ambiance: Stepping into Santa Fe Southwest Grill, I was immediately captivated by its warm and inviting atmosphere. The restaurant was adorned with vibrant Southwestern-inspired decor, creating a cozy and welcoming environment. The rustic wooden accents and subtle lighting set the stage for a pleasant dining experience, making it the perfect place to unwind with family and friends.

Service: One of the highlights of my visit to Santa Fe was the exceptional service provided by our server, Andrea. Her professionalism, attentiveness, and genuine friendliness were evident from the moment she greeted us at the table. She patiently answered all our questions and offered helpful recommendations, making our dining experience all the more enjoyable.

Menu and Food: The menu at Santa Fe Southwest Grill boasts a tempting selection of Tex-Mex and American dishes, catering to a variety of taste preferences. After much contemplation, I decided to go for their highly-acclaimed Border Burger, and boy, was it a wise choice!

The Border Burger was simply extraordinary. The first bite sent my taste buds into a frenzy of flavors, and I immediately understood why people couldn't stop talking about it. The patty, made from their freshly ground hamburger, was cooked to perfection, exuding juiciness and a smoky char that hinted at the quality of their ingredients. The accompanying toppings, such as pulled pork, bacon, and zesty fried onions, all complemented each other brilliantly, creating a symphony of flavors in every mouthful. To top it off, the brioche bun was soft, yet sturdy enough to hold everything together without getting soggy.

Chips and Salsa: Before the main course, we were served a basket of crispy, freshly fried tortilla chips alongside a bowl of vibrant salsa. The chips were addictively crunchy, and the salsa was a revelation. Bursting with the freshness of ripe tomatoes, cilantro, onions, and just the right amount of spice, it was an ideal accompaniment to whet our appetites.

Drinks: I decided to pair my Border Burger with a refreshing glass of unsweetened tea. It was evident that the tea had been freshly brewed, as its subtle, natural flavors worked wonders in balancing the richness of the burger. Moreover, it was a perfect choice to beat the Wyoming heat.

Final Thoughts: Santa Fe Southwest Grill surpassed all my expectations, leaving me with a memorable dining experience. The attention to detail in their food preparation, especially grinding their hamburger in-house, sets them apart from the rest. Coupled with the inviting ambiance and exceptional service from Andrea, this restaurant deserves every bit of praise it receives.

I highly recommend indulging in their delectable Border Burger, alongside their outstanding chips and salsa. Be prepared to savor every moment as you embark on a culinary journey that showcases the best of Southwest flavors and hospitality.

Very flavorful! They have a variety of sauces you can smother your burrito with. I wanted to try two so the waitress did half and half. Then brought me samples of two more she thought I might like. All four were very tasty. Habanero sauce was very spicy just like I love it, green chili sauce was flavorful and spicy, yum. Also tasted the whiskey sauce and the sour cream sauce and both had outstanding unique qualities. And a generous portion of chips and salsa was served while I waited on my dinner. My very filling, satisfying meal before tip was $12.72!! I'll most certainly return when back in town.

We really enjoyed our dinner here, and Sierra, our server, was just delightful. She was very happy to accommodate my odd drink request. The food was delicious. I tried a mushroom, onion and garlic steak along with steamed veggies and a side salad. It was a good sized portion and nicely cooked. My guy had a burrito with a cheesy jalapeño sauce and he was happy. It was a bigger than average portion. Try this place out. You'll be happy you did.
