Tortilla Flats

We recently visited here and ordered enchiladas, chicken soup, and a sopapilla at this restaurant. While the food was decent, it didn’t quite meet expectations—it was just “okay.” The flavors were good but not extraordinary. Unfortunately, the prices were on the higher side for what we received. While it wasn’t a terrible experience, it felt a bit overpriced for the quality of the meal. I might consider other options in the area next time.

This was my first time having New Mexican cuisine. I don’t have anything to compare it to but I loved it. I had the combination plate with the quesadilla, chile relleno, blue corn taco, and chile con queso as an appetizer. It was all very delicious. The only drawback to the experience was the extremely loud bartender. I came on a Monday night and there were only 10-15 patrons. The bartender was speaking so loudly it was distracting.

I love sopaipillas. They gave me 2 with my enchilada plate - 5 stars. All jokes aside, they were pretty good sopaipillas and I liked the blue corn enchiladas. Weirdly enough, I REALLY liked their calabacitas.

My wife, son, daughter, and I visited the restaurant, located just a three-minute walk from Meow Wolf, drawn by its inviting atmosphere and appetizing aroma. Upon entering, the ambiance was pleasant, and we were promptly seated on the outdoor patio. Regrettably, our experience deteriorated thereafter, as we received no service. Despite waiting for 25 minutes and observing two servers attending to other tables in our section, no one approached us. Approximately 20 minutes into our wait, I noticed the gentleman who had seated us smoking a cigarette near the front entryway. He then approached our table to take our order, smelling strongly of cigarette smoke and offering an apology. This experience was profoundly disappointing, frustrating, and an unfortunate waste of time.

What an unexpected treat! Our waiter Joey was absolutely the best - he had great recommendations and good conversation. We both had the green chili - it was divine! Great consistency (go with the pinto!!) and terrific spice and flavor. The sopapillas stole the show - they are exactly the right combo with the chili. Highly recommend!

We stopped n for a late lunch early dinner. Good atmosphere, friendly staff, service was good, prices reasonable, and we rally enjoyed our meal. I had the pork chop, hubby had tamal. The Cadillac margaritas were excellent and so was dessert! Beans n rice very tasty as well!

They have the hands down best green chile con queso! Both their breakfast and their lunch/dinner menu are full of authentic New Mexican food plus some American fare. I've been meeting family here for years, have tried most of the menu, and am always happy with whatever I order. Even their vegetarian burrito is great and their sopapillas are big and fresh. They have a several dining areas and are good about seating you where you want to go. There is a nice patio with an overhead heater, lots of space for meeting family or friends, and there are big TVs near the bar if you want to catch the game. I always take friends from out of state here before we go to Meow Wolf.

I took advantage of the happy hour menu, since I'm budgeting. The food is always good here, and the employees are friendly. The disappointment came when I received the bill: I ordered from the menu, and when the waitress delivered the food she said, I'm sorry, I put avocados in it, will you eat them. I said, yes, thank you. And then they charged me for them - paying for her mistake. Not cool!

Had 4 adults, one student and a 3year old. Gratuity was automatically added because of 6 or more. Main problem was the server did not meet that level of service. Never got one of our ordered items as well as only a half order of another. Flavors were good.

Food and service was amazing. Prices were good as well, five adults for lunch was about $100.

We went on a Monday evening so restaurant had some people but not busy. Service was average so no complaints there. Food was really tasteless though. Refried beans had no salt, the fajitas had no seasoning at all, rice was undercooked with some undissolved tomato paste. If you feel like Mexican try one of the many other restaurants in town.

While attending "happy hour", we were initially not informed that you only get the happy hour prices you must be seated in the patio or bar area. The hostess was somewhat annoyed we asked to be moved, we were a party or seven. The waitress was wonderful, but the noise at the bar was terrible. Some guy was seated there and appeared to want everyone to hear him.

The stuffed sopapillas are very good, especially the brisket Christmas style. The huevos rancheros, roast beef burritos, chicken enchiladas and tortilla burger are all quite filling and tasty. They've got a nice bar and excellent TVs for viewing sports. It's casual and the seating gets a bit tight. So far we've had nothing but good service. That said we typically sit at the bar or try to find the same manager who tends bar.

Food was good service not so much. It kind of felt like we were an inconvenience. After the lunch crowd very casual, no urgency to provide decent service.

When we were waiting to be seating, two employees were discussing a fellow employee in a negative manner. That was very unprofessional to see & hear. After ordering guacamole, it was brought to our table, however, the guacamole was more lettuce then guacamole. The pozole was more corn then meat. It had one very small tiny piece of meat. I was very disappointed.

No, a service dog does not need to be a certain size, as long as it can be trained to help a person with a disability. Service dogs can be any breed or size, and they come in many shapes and sizes. We have a small service dog & they didn't allowed it because they said the service dog must be a big dog we never had an issue with our small service dog I'm so upset the fact that they were so rude about it never happened to us before. We do not want to support restaurants that don't allow small service dogs we google it se below Service animals are: Any breed and any size of dog. Trained to perform a task directly related to a

We had the fajitas last night 7/5 Beef and Chicken. The Beef had a weird aftertaste and I spit it out but my girlfriend didn't and now she's not feeling well, gas and bloating.

Went here on a whim on our way to the Pantry and was pleasantly surprised as I had my doubts. Not many people there which usually signals something. The red sauce enchiladas were very hot but I like that . Wife had the green chile sauce quesadillas. The service was okay and they were having problems with their computer system. They prices were pretty much what you expect in Santa Fe. There so many great places in Santa Fe, I like trying new places and not go just to the same places. Glad we stopped by.

Came here with my family looking for traditional Native food. Food was not too bad, the meet from the tacos and quesadilla where good, my boyfriend liked his chicken quesadilla, I got the stuffed sopapilla with chicken and potato which was just a bed of hash browns with shredded chicken breast and a sopapilla with melted cheese on top (the cheese had a really good flavor, but I did expect something stuffed not just on top...). My dad had the "adobada" which was more of a beef with red chili, which was super spicy he couldn't really eat it. They bring to the table chips and salsa which they charge you for... and include a 25% tip if you have a party of 6 or more... we were 5 adults and a 4 year old who "counts" because he got a kids meal, so that made it 6 plates. The appetizer was green chili with cheese which had no flavor we had to add salt and when that didn't fix it we put the salsa that came with the chips in it, and it was a lot better then. The service was not bad, we did waited a long time for our food, and since we had been traveling all day we were hungry so we kept on eating the chips and got full by the time the food showed up. Your plate includes sopapillas that you eat with honey, and definitely that was the best part of all. Overall, I am disappointed because we were recommended to this place, and what really upset me was the fact that they added the 25% tip, and when I asked why the response was that is the way it is, I explained we were not notified of it and even though it says it on the menu, I never thought my kid was gonna be counted to reach the 6 party number. I'm sure there are smaller business with better quality and flavor than this one around the nice town of Santa Fe... I suggest you look for them if you want a better experience.

Service was terrible. The bar tender was our server (we weren't seated at the bar) and he spent the entire time visiting with his non-employee friend who was drinking at the bar. Food was ok but I had chicken fajitas and found three pieces of tendon/gristle in the meat. The server delivered the check without asking if there was anything else we needed; to-go box, dessert, etc. I requested to have the check split and he became upset because "it would take a while." His words exactly. He later returned and threw the check with my credit card into the chip basket as he walked by without stopping or commenting. His friend at the bar was turned toward us laughing.

Had large party here with family. Food was awesome!! Drinks were good also!!! The green chile was super yummy so was red...definitely recommend this place!!

This is the REAL DEAL in New Mexican Cuisine ! Best Chili Rellenos (I get Christmas). Great beans. Great Posole I LOVE the Brisket Quesadillas as well (that's a little secret because you can get them with brisket, but it's no longer on the menu) Get a side of Green Chile and a cold Negro Modela with a frosted glass ..some lime .. and a little salt You will THANK me Later !! Enjoy ! Next step up is Cafe Pasquals. TWICE the price if not more

The carne adovada and potato (hash browns) burrito was legit!! The red chile was suitably hot for what should be the hottest dish on the menu. Paired with an Elevated IPA from LA Cumbre it was amazing. I'll be be back again sooner rather than later!

One of our go to places for a delicious, reasonably priced meal. Nice dog friendly patio and great staff.

The food was just not good, we are from out of town and needed a quick dinner. We ordered chicken fajitas that had minimal seasoning. The rice had no salt and the beans tasted like they just came out out of a can.. hard pass for us. I suggest you keep driving.

This place was on point! We drove up from Albuquerque to go to Meow Wolf and dropped by Tortilla Flats for dinner. It is within walking distance from there so it was perfect. I have to say that the restaurant needs a little bit of updating but their food and service make up for it. There's nothing like simple and traditional New Mexican green chicken enchiladas. Yet these flat tortilla-styled enchis were a perfect taste of comfort. Draped in creamy green chile sauce topped with cheese. I love it when they stick with the traditional posole as a side instead of rice. Now, let's talk about their sopapillas! I can't believe how much I loved them. I never order them because I am not a fan, but I am definitely a fan of theirs. They taste more "bready" than what I am used to having. I know that's not a word, but it's the best I can describe it and I loved them. For a Thursday evening, they were a little busy yet the drinks and food came out pretty quick. The restaurant was clean and so were their bathrooms. Also, the hostess and our server were very friendly.

So disappointed! Ordered a combination plate, first, it was cold, and the wrong item was on it, brought the tamale, we were already done with our meal. Asked for an extra plate, never got it. The waitress didn't come back, until we asked for the bill. Will not be back or recommend this place.

My first time eating here and was very pleased! Very spacious restaurant with several indoor or even outdoor covered patio to sit at. There is a bar section with a couple large TV's that had a football game on the day I went. Restaurant and restrooms were nice and clean. Host and server were very friendly. The menu was a little confusing as it only indicated Breakfast & Lunch but it appears you can order any of these items for dinner as well. I ordered the combination plate which had a nice variety of several things and the plate literally comes loaded all the way to the edges! Food was tasty! I had Christmas style chile. Both the red and the green chile had a nice mild flavor to it, nothing to extreme.

We had a group of 11 for dinner as part of the Santa Fe Foodies; I don't think I've been to this restaurant in 20+ years and didn't expect much. Boy, was I surprised at the superb food and service. I think everyone agreed that all our dinners were excellent. When I walked in, I saw Red Chile Pork Ribs on the special menu, which I ordered. The rib meat fell off the bone and was tender and moist, and the slightly sweet, savory red chile sauce was outstanding. For the sides, I had posole, which was excellent! Also, very good Black Beans and sopapillas. My wife had the Brisket tacos; the brisket was delicious, moist, and tender, and a great meat for tacos. She had the calabacitas as a side, and we both agreed that this version was very tasty. Portions are huge, I took three ribs home. I told the manager (owner?) that the ribs were amazing and that they should have them on the menu; he told me that they could be ordered at any time, and they always have them. Apparently, this was his grandmother's recipe. Try them! They are a bit spicy (med heat) but to die for. Our server was Brandon, and he did an excellent job with a large group; all the food came at the same time, we always had our beverages filled, and we got much-needed extra napkins (the ribs are messy in a good way). We will absolutely return, this was a great find. Everything exceeded our expectations.

Horrible service and really bad attitude. They can do much better. Singer was awesome.

Server was very friendly. Food was delicious. Atmosphere inviting and warm, considering all the snow outside.

Decided to try this restaurant once again since I was staying close and had eaten here years ago. The veterinarian stuffed soppailla was good and a healthy size. The green chille it was smothered with was not as hot as I expected to be and actually pretty mild. This is probably one of the only restaurants I recall in Santa Fe that doesn't provide you complimentary chips and salsa (at least the first one). Service was good but staff not overly friendly. Plenty of seating inside and outside including the bar.

Went in spite of the recent reviews as so many restaurants close so early( I will never understand the fact that in NM restaurants close at 8 and 9 on Fri & sat ). We were a party of 10 and it was 7:30. We were greeted @ the door by a very nice woman she immediately set up tables to accommodate us. Our service was kind and quick. They had a woman singing, she was great and the live music was an enjoyable bonus for a sat night. All our food was great and portions were huge! WARNING the red is HOT HOT. Price was reasonable. But I will always be disappointed in a restaurant that charge for chips and salsa when you order food and drinks. I'm hoping that the 1star reviews opened some eyes and change was implemented because we really enjoyed our visit and hope others can also.

Fast service and delicious food. Best tacos ever!! Old diner feel with live music on certain nights.

poor service over charged me almost twice slowwwwww I will never go again would have give lower score but no negitive stars

I love this place. I lived in Gladstone for 14 years and drove by the restaurant almost daily and never paid it any attention. Then on a whim one night I told the wife let's try this place out. Good menu and reasonable prices. I especially love the Shrimp Nachos and my wife frequently orders Mexican lasagna. They have a Taco night and a Enchilada night. k Since going in the first time we rarely eat at any other Mexican restaurant. Well worth the trip if your in the area.

Popped in here for a quick bite before heading to Meow Wolf. Started off a bit wrong because I'm used to chips and salsa being free. I'm not from NM but I've learned this may be the norm here. So when the server asked if we wanted them, we just said sure. Might have ordered differently if we'd known. But part of what made that weird is that we were seated and the gentleman who seated us immediately took drink orders, then another server came to take drink orders. When we told him it was being handled, he offered chips and salsa. We hadn't yet had a moment to even glance at the menu. To be honest, I was a little stressed about time (getting to MW on time), so I was pleased with the attentiveness at first. Then a third person came to ask about chips. It started to feel a little crazy. So we were hungry but not too hungry and had just ordered chips and salsa by accident and they were HUGE! So I decided to get ala cart beans and a side of sour cream to dress up my chips and salsa. The salsa was tasty so this was good. But the sour cream came in a 1 Oz side container and cost $1.75. Not a good value. My companion got an ala carte cheese enchilada which he reported was just ok. These aren't really enough to base a review of the food on. Maybe an entree would have been better? The restaurant ambiance was good tho - nice setting, plenty of space and different "rooms" so even if/when crowded, I feel like it will feel intimate. The bar area was nice and there was live music. Would I return? Yes, I would give this place another try but skip the chips.

We came upon this after going to Meow Wolf. Took a little bit to get our order but the food was good. We are from NM 5 hours away and the New Mexican food was different , but great! The sopapillas were AMAZING. They didn't get five stars just because they sat some people with a dog right next to us. I love dogs just didn't expect to see one at a table next to us.

Another don't miss place! We went on a Thursday night. It was packed and they were understaffed so it took a little extra time but the food completely made up for it! The drinks are priced very reasonable. The chips and salsa are fantastic where the salsa is fresh and has a hint of onion and cilantro with a bite! The carne adovada is flat out perfect. The green and red chile are amazing. The sopapillas are hot out of the fryer! It had been years since we last went but it will be a regular stop going forward!

The meat in the stuffed Sopa's are very dry... There are better places in Santa Fe to EAT. Not worth eating here....

Great food. Service was good after waiter and waitress decided who would wait on us get to take our order. Local beers were very good! I would have gave 5 stars but someone was cleaning with a cleaning product that had a smell like ammonia! It bothered us while we were eating our food.

Took them almost 30 minutes to seat us. Ordered all meals which was a chicken quesadilla, tortilla flats burger cheese and sweet potato fries, carne asada and potato burrito. It took them almost an hour and 30 minutes to bring our food to the table. The burrito was cold and when we voiced it he was arrogant saying that he saw them prepared in front of him. He also filled up the soda literally by pouring soda in a glass and then pouring it over my friend's shoulder out of a glass instead of bringing a fresh soda in all the services were the food is expensive for what you get the tortilla flat Burger had a couple of sprinkles of cheese on it with some salad concoction on the side the fries were not that good it doesn't even taste like fries the quesadilla had more guacamole than cheese.

Hey guys I took the wifey to SF for shopping,shopping is not so good, but this place makes up for it. Very cool atmosphere. Big bar with 5screens, seems like cool place for NFL or World Cup games. The tort soup is super, leave room for your meal get a cup. I had the shrimp quesadilla. The flavors were exquisite and portion good. I will have to tell you bout the stuff sopapilla next wife was too full from the big bowl of Tort Soup

Some conflicting Yelp reviews almost led us elsewhere, but Tortilla Flats was a good find. We a the kind of a breakfast brunch and it was a convenient location to where we are staying. This was classic New Mexican Tex Mex southwestern but with a nice twist had a great local beer collection as well as classic Mexican beers. They had a nice Albuquerque Brown lager. I enjoyed a half of a breakfast burrito and a half of a carnitas omelette we shared those the carnitas omelette had brisket on top in the breakfast burrito was perfect and did not have too much potatoes. I had a side of green chili. It was great. Tortilla Flats may not have the cutting edge NM cuisine, but there was more choices than we could eat in a sitting. we really enjoyed the food and the beer and actually the service at the bar and the table was very good the only drawback I would say is parking is a little limited had

A bit disorganized. Staff complaining about overwork. Terrible frozen margaritas. Good patron margaritas. Chips were great. Hot sauce was given in a small container with enough salsa for 2 chips. Very cheap. Great brisket tacos. Rice undercooked. Good beans. Good chili relleno Blue corn tortillas were tough

Do not waste your time or money here! $70 dinner for 4 people- no service, food was nothing special. Pozole was cold. The only good thing about this place was the guy performing and us walking out the door. With all the awards they have on the wall it seems they've let serving customers and good food go out the door! This place needs to be shut down.

We let our hunger get to the best of us. My boyfriend and I had spent nearly three hours at nearby Meow Wolf (which was amazeballz), and needed sustenance before our drive to Albuquerque. Since Tortilla Flats was nearby, we decided to dine here for a late lunch. Tortilla Flats' space is huge. It reminds me of a locals-only diner, but with a New Mexican twist. Breakfast seemed to be their pride and joy here, with lots of plates coming outta the kitchen with breakfast items, smothered in chiles. My boyfriend ordered the pork chop in green chiles while I went with the Tortilla Flats Breakfast Special, an open-faced tortilla with hashbrowns, meat, two eggs, cheese, smothered in red or green or both. For my entree, I ordered mine with ham, over-easy eggs (they said they couldn't do poached) and both red and green chiles. We also ordered a side of the sopapilla, which was the first time we had sopapillas, and was an item our server highly recommended we try. The sopapillas came out first, and gotta say, I really was pleasantly surprised by them. They were sooo good and unlike a bread I've had before. The sopapillas are a fry bread, which has a pocket, so once you tear off a piece, there's a hollow center. Drizzle some honey per instructed by our server, and you have a wonderful dessert, especially since the sopapilla was so soft and warm! It was definitely one of the best foods I tried while in New Mexico. However, I wish I could say the same for my entree. The Tortilla Flats Breakfast Special was lackluster. The tortilla was not as soft as I anticipated, so didn't eat most of it since the texture was on the stiffer side. The ham used were thin slices, like deli meat, which I wasn't expecting. I wish the pieces had been cubes of ham, which I believe would've been more consistent with the entree, since it was all mixed together with the hashbrowns and eggs. The chile sauces were the most disappointing. They were super bland, watered down, with no spice at all. It was very surprising and disappointing, since we were trying to get dishes that had the famous chiles New Mexico is known for. My boyfriend felt the same way about his entree. Overall, it was hit and miss for us. We loved the sopapillas, and for a side of it, you get two, which was awesome! I'm still thinking about how delicious they were. But for the primary reason of why we visited Tortilla Flats, for some good, sold New Mexican cuisine - it sadly disappointed.

Chips and salsa. Some of the best in Santa Fe. I usually get the roast beef quesadilla red. Or a salad. Unfortunately I don't try anything else the roast beef has my name on it.

Amazing food and amazing service! I don't understand the few reviews stating otherwise. This is the restaurant to go to for authentic Mexican food. My husband and I left stuffed. We have this restaurant as a MUST when we come back to Santa Fe!

Over priced wait staff was lost and the food is not authentic Mexican food horrible food

A pleasant surprise and a recommended stop either before or after experiencing Meow Wolf. If you do go before visiting Meow Wolf you'll get 20% off your admission. Tortilla Flats looks like a cheesy restaurant from the outside but it's actually turned out to be very enjoyable. Our server was very friendly and made sure we were well attended throughout our lunch. Red/Green (Christmas style) Enchiladas - A very well portioned plate loaded with beans rice and a pile of enchiladas. One of the better enchilada plates I had during our trip to New Mexico. Kids Chicken Tenders - Very good, hand breaded and fresh. Kids burger - Pretty ugly, but thumbs up on the taste. The Included sopapillas - Very tasty! We ate here instead of the expensive touristy places up in Santa Fe. So glad we did.

We waited forever for our food and the place was not busy. It took 25 minutes just to get our appetizers and then another 40 to get our food which had no flavor! We will not go back.

First off I want to say no issues with the food. Really great. BUT today I called in a pick up, gave my name (which could be either gender), and the woman asked me if I was a lady or a man. I don't understand why she asked that. First off, so rude. Second off, does it matter?

This is based on service. Today 2/23/24 I placed a pick up order because I was sick and my husband knows I love the tortilla soup from there and offered to be the pick up person if that's what I'd eat for dinner. I ordered him a plate as well. He got there and only my soup was ready. They didn't offer him to remake or to make the plate. They didn't offer him an alternative so he'd have food as well and less of an extra wait. It was more of well, you're outta luck attitude. The ticket clearly showed my info, the time I placed my order and that we'd ordered the ribs plate with certain sides. They didn't bother to check if it was waiting in the kitchen. Just basically waited for him to pay for the soup and two sopaipillas and leave.

Horrible Ultimate Nachos. There's an up-charge to get a *meat* on the so called Ultimate Nacho. What, you ask, comes on the Ultimate Nacho? Chips mostly. Somewhere there are a few refried beans mixed in, some diced tomatoes, there was supposed to be lettuce but none make it on to my order, then there's a little, *very* little cheese, and that's all. Guacamole was an extra $1.10. So subtract the $2.00 up-charge to get *unseasoned* hamburger added, and the $1.10 Guac charge, and you come up with about a $13 plate of mostly chips. No Ultimate that I can see; all I see is a big rip off.

Their food is ok. The salsa is really good but otherwise the dinner entrees are just ok. They have some of the worst service of any restaurant I've ever been to. Rude servers and managers. The worst waiter is a relative of the worst manager, apparently. Once I saw a waitress leave the bathroom without washing her hands, and when I told the manager he said she probably washed her hands in the back. That was disgusting enough. I stopped going there even though their salsa is the best anywhere. I would rather drive up the street to Castros cafe.

gf and i both had the carnita ranchera, which is an omelette topped with shredded brisket, hash brown, avocado, tortilla chips, sour cream, "salsa" The brisket could use some seasoning but I liked all the different elements of the dish, and its a hefty portion that you will probably be taking some home of unless u are starving. quaint atmosphere nearby meow wolf. think there may be a discount here for meow wolf? i forgot to look into..
