K' Bueno tacos, burritos & more

How did we never try this place before?!?! The portion sizes are huge and the flavors are amazing. We tried breakfast burritos (1 sausage Xmas & 1 chorizo green) and tacos Al pastor. Usually breakfast burritos contain french fries, but here you get real, yummy potatoes. The homemade salsas are fire! Melvin (the owner) couldn’t have been nicer and his positive, sunny energy is contagious. You’ll leave this place with your bellies very full, leftovers for later and a huge smile on your face!

streetside taco joint v local and decent tacos best was asada and barbacoa, rest pastor and bison are ok. quick and easy get thr plate up tackles that come with the rice and beans and get it for two so you can share

I was looking forward to this place given all the good reviews. I marked it on my last trip to Santa Fe. I had high hopes and the food that others were eating looked amazing. I asked for a recommendation and the young man suggested one of the plates. They were out of a couple of them so I chose the carne asada plate. It was very disappointing. It seemed to be a quarter inch thick and was cooked so much it was like cardboard. It was quite a challenge to saw through it with the flimsy white plastic silverware provided. I didn’t finish it. I wouldn’t serve someone else anything that bad. The sides were ok. I told the same young man that took my order that it wasn’t very good. He said he was sorry and took my plate and went inside. Like I said I saw other folks eating food that looked amazing but they were willing to serve me that dish. I will never return.

It's a small taco shop that has really good food. It's my first time having bison tacos and I enjoyed them. The inside is really small and some stool chairs could be replaced but overall the experience was good.

In search of breakfast on a budget, we came across this small restaurant in Santa Fe that only looks unassuming. Big, bold flavors are stuffed into these two-hand burritos. I had the bacon burrito that comes with egg, hash browns, chunky potatoes, cheese and crispy bacon. The red chili, which I was told was the spicier choice, had a depth to it that was more than the heat that comes with it. My boyfriend’s burrito was similar but instead of bacon, he chose sausage and the “X-más” chili, a combination of both red and green chili. He said the sausage and potatoes were perfectly cooked and the only thing that struggled to keep its composure was the tortilla which tightly hugged the food. Just as impressive as the food are the young men behind the counter. The cook quickly prepared our food and didn’t sacrifice the quality for speed. And the youngest, who’s the cashier, is smart, passionate about the food they sell and incredibly polite. In a place where there’s no shortage of restaurants, this place which has only been open for two years, truly stands out in product and service. Wishing them much success!

I went through the drive-thru on a Saturday afternoon and had carne asada tacos with onions and cilantro and the green sauce and I have to tell you those were some of the best tacos I had ever had in my life and I have had some tacos definitely a must if you are in Santa Fe

Stopped by for breakfast and they had just opened at 10 am. The owner, Melvin Lopez, greeted us and was engaging and helpful when I mentioned it was our first time in. I had never tried a breakfast taco so ordered two Christmas style, as well as a breakfast burrito with black beans instead of meat with green chile. My partner got an Al Pastor burrito (rice, pinto beans, maybe cheese we forgot to check) with red sauce on the side. All were delicious! The sauces were mild to medium and in particular I loved the green chile. The tacos were larger than I expected and so I only ate one and some of the burrito, which was very large also. I really enjoyed our visit, the owner was very friendly and let me sub black beans into my breakfast burrito which I I prefer, and they were tasty beans! Also nice covered outdoor seating in front, as well as a couple small tables inside. I have photos but they won't upload right now. I'll try again. Definitely worth returning to for a fast meal, lower prices and friendly people.

1st time having Bison, got the taco platter it was delicious and the Tamarindo Agua Fresca was tasty

A small shop on cerrillos. Their menu is on a TV that blinks every few seconds so try and read quick. Besides that we really enjoyed the burritos we got. I got a carne asada which was delicious and flavorful. They brought out the Guatemalan sauce pictured below which was a great addition! It's not really spicy just flavorful. They have indoor and outdoor seating.

We stopped here for a quick snack and ordered two tacos (bison and al pastor). Our friends got the fluatas. All were delicious! It seems like it's a small family operation with the kids helping and the front counter. Food was freshly made so took a little bit of time, but the wait was worth it!

Our next stop on the food review tour was at @kbueno_2021 in Santa Fe and was an absolute treat. Located along the road, this small restaurant with outdoor dining option and small indoor dining room really tugged at my first generation immigrant heart This family owned father-son operation was a real treat to watch in person tucked safely in the home like cozy dining room. The tacos I ordered : vegetarian, Al pastor and bison were each seasoned bold yet perfectly and not overly spicy. I loved all my tacos equally. Martin, the owners son acted as the Spanish-English liaison between customers and his father. He told me that his family is from South America (I want to say Guatemala, but please don't quote me!), and that he loves working in the restaurant (I REALLY enjoyed watching his work ethic and the father-son relationship between them. For a young man, he was incredibly mature. We will definitely be back! (There's so many more options to try! 5/5 #restaurantreview #foodfreedom #intuitiveeating #allfoodsfit #dietculturedropout #supportsmallbusiness

I wish I could give this place a 0 star review. We were immediately met with hostility from the staff and the people dining who were related or friends with the staff. We ordered our food and it was overpriced and they told us to wait outside and they would bring us our food. 45 minutes later the man who took our order left! We decided to go to real burger around the corner and we are very satisfied with their service. DO NOT GO HERE!

Unexpected great meal. Owner was friendly, food excellent, inside clean with an open kitchen.

Ive seen good reviews of K'Bueno so had high hopes for my breakfast burrito that remain unfulfilled. For $6+tax the burrito is a great price, substantial and the griddle sear was a lovely touch. But the red chile in my red chile sausage burrito had no flavor. It added a nice moisture but I wanted heat and flavor. I'd have been ok with just flavor. I want to give them another try, because I want to like them.

I got the el pastor burrito. The guy was really nice and the burrito was fantastic (one of the best I've had). Will definitely be back next time I'm in Santa Fe.

This place has among the best tacos, burrotos ect in Santa Fe. Their cook uses great quality ingredients, makes seasoned rice, home made beans with all the right spices and virtually every dish here is among the best you'll have in town. They have a fairly extensive vegatarian menu with sauteed mushrooms that are delicious and their Birria is amazing and worth a visit alone. Get their chile arbol red sauce on the side which is very spicy and you'll become a regular. Note, this is a Mexican restaurant, not Southwest, so do not expect red and green chile poured over everything.

Great flavor but it was basically pinto beans ,cheese and white rice. Red salsa was delicious but green salsa was very watery. Where's the carne asada in my burrito ?? $12

Went here for the first time today for lunch. Had the Bison burrito. Very good, and HUGE. Worth the price. I'll definitely come back some time, I want to try the Tostadas de Camaron. I've heard the breakfast burritos are great too and also huge. Will also try that some time. The beverages are an assortment of canned and bottled offerings. Outdoor seating area is nice. This is the building where Baja Tacos used to be.

BOMB breakfast burritos. My husband and I swung by before going for a hike and they were delicious and LARGE given how cheap they were. We both got sausage and Xmas style. There's a little seating area outside so we got to sit with our dog. Best breakfast burrito we had during our time in Santa Fe.

So delicious! Great attentive service! Tasted home made and authentic! Yay Homemade chips and salsa

The service was very friendly and quick. It was nice to sit outside on the simple patio on a beautiful Santa Fe day. The food was fine, but not extremely flavorful and not "anything to write home about". I might stop here again if I was just looking for a quick snack.

This place was so good! We had been waiting to catch it when it was open and it was totally worth it. We had the bison taco and omg it was so good the taco was perfectly fried (ya know that extra good crunch you only get with a real taco) anyway this place was delish

Delicious flavorful fish taco plate with side of rice and beans. Oh and the quesabirrias are also so yummy!

There are two things that earn a good restaurant review on Yelp: tasty food and great service. K'Bueno has awesome street-style tacos and burritos. Plus they have a whole bunch more like homemade mole, horchata, and aqua fresca. Everything's fresh and delicious. The portions are huge and you get way more than you pay for. And speaking of paying, the owner has gone way above and beyond to help out hungry travelers on Cerillos Rd. The staff is outta sight friendly, professional, and generous. You really feel like you're family at K'Bueno and family feeds you good. Definitely a must-go when in Santa Fe. This place is a delightful tradition.

The fresh watermelon juice is amazing!!! I had Carne Asada plate: 3 tacos, rice and beans. The flavor of the carne asada is wonderful. It did have a couple pieces of gristle though. The others had a mix of kinds of tacos and the other favorite was chicken with guacamole on it. They have a really nice covered outdoor seating area. Very good!
