Welcome to Santa Fe on the Upper West Side
For more than 40 years, Santa Fe has been a neighborhood staple on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, serving contemporary Southwestern and Mexican cuisine in a warm, lively, and welcoming setting.
Family owned and independently operated, Santa Fe is known for its signature frozen margaritas, generous portions, and hospitality-driven approach to dining.
Mexican and Southwestern Flavor
Our menu blends the comfort of traditional Mexican flavors with the bold, ingredient-driven influence of Southwestern cooking, creating dishes that feel both familiar and a little unexpected.
Whether you’re joining us for a casual weeknight dinner, brunch with friends, date night cocktails, or a family meal, our goal has always been the same: great food, genuine hospitality, and an atmosphere that feels distinctly Upper West Side.
Made the Upper West Side Way
We place a strong emphasis on ingredient quality and source prime, domestic, local, and seasonal meats, seafood, dairy, and produce whenever possible. Alongside our longtime Santa Fe favorites, our menu continues to evolve with seasonal specials, new cocktails, and dishes inspired by the ingredients and flavors we love most.
New York’s Best Frozen Margarita
Home to what New York Magazine calls “New York City’s best frozen margarita,” Santa Fe has been an Upper West Side favorite for years. Our lively bar features signature frozen margaritas, seasonal cocktails, premium agave spirits, curated wines, and local New York craft beers. Whether you’re joining us for happy hour, weekend brunch, or dinner with friends, Santa Fe offers one of the best cocktail and margarita experiences on the Upper West Side.

What our guests are saying
I went to Santa Fe for brunch with friends and had such a great time! I tried their special tacos (I think they were called Gaucho Tacos) and honestly, they were some of the best tacos I’ve ever had. For something sweet, I ordered the French toast and it was one of the best I’ve ever tasted. Everything was delicious and the service was really nice. I’ll definitely be coming back!

We ended up at Santa Fe for an unplanned anniversary dinner, and it turned into the loveliest surprise. It was also our first time dining there, despite living in the neighborhood for years. It was a weekday evening, moderately busy but with a relaxed, welcoming vibe. The staff were friendly and efficient, making us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. The food was delicious across the board. We did a selection of tacos with a couple of sides (the Esquites was especially delicious). What really stood out was the service. A special shoutout to our server on Wednesday night, who was handling multiple tables with ease and remained attentive, calm, and thoughtful throughout. Their suggestions were spot-on, helpful without ever being pushy, and we never felt rushed. An unexpectedly memorable dining experience and a perfect way to celebrate. Santa Fe is now firmly on our list of go-to neighbourhood favourites.

Went here for lunch with a friend. Had a great time. There are 3 places to eat: outside, indoors, and the back room which has stunning natural light from the skylight. We sat in the back and had some amazing foods. The burger and fries were great. The French toast was really sweet and the tacos were good! Also tried the mimosa and white sangria and they were good too! Would recommend and would go again. Service was friendly and fast.
