Mac Santa Fe

Yes, when you are in Santa Fe, New Mexico, you should eat Southwestern food, but we had been indulging for several weeks and needed a little break for lunch. Mac Santa Fe was the perfect spot. Located down a few steps in an indoor mall, there is a few seats in the eatery and up at a bar, and there are tables in the middle of the mall to enjoy your Mac and Cheese. Mac and Cheese seems pretty easy to make, but it takes the right chef to make it the right way. Mac needs to ooey gooey cheesy goodness and to many times there isn't enough cheese and it is dry lacking even the basic salt. But not at Mac Santa Fe.We ordered the one pound container to split and it was the perfect amount for two. We chose the Santa Fe Mac, it was pasta cooked to al dente, just the way we like it, topped with a crunchy bread topping, it had roasted green chile and Monterey and Cheddar cheese. It was spicy, but on overly so. The sauce was creamy and cheesy.Located in downtown Santa Fe, it is a great find when exploring the downtown shops.

Food is tasty but basic comfort food.Takes awhile to get the food from order to receipt.Owner is very nice.Food had cool spots in it when served.Very filling - ordered the smaller size and couldn't eat more than 1/3.We did get light diarrhea the next day but I am not sure if this was the source or not. Protein included seemed a bit skimpy?

The Mac and cheese was not creamy. It was like a pile of macaroni with only cheese melted in it. Sure there was plenty of cheese but stringy melted cheese is NOT Mac and cheese. It should be creamy and velvety. With maybe some broiled stringy cheese only on top. Try adding some cream boys. Go ahead. Try it. You will love it and you will save money by using less cheese and you will make a better product. The sandwich had some old ass chicken on it. It tasted old and it should have been tossed out way before going on my sandwich. But go ahead and convince yourself that is it ok. Try to keep saving money by using old food, and you will reap what you sow. i.e. no customers. The guy at the front talked too much as well. I don't need a conversation when I'm trying to enjoy a relaxing lunch that cost about $40. That's pretty expensive for a single dope like me for me to eat lunch. yikes. Good luck. Change.

I have two young daughters, so when I found Mac Santa Fe I knew I would score brownie points with them...It's a sit-down restaurant in an indoor mall with mostly mac and cheese dishes.On June 26, 2024, we ordered: + 2 sodas ($6) + Billy the Kid grilled cheese with tomato soup ($22)+ Green Chile grilled cheese with tomato soup ($20)+ Large lobster mac ($36)! So good... We had leftovers to take to our next destination.Our guy gave me a bottled water on the house. Both employees we interacted with were super friendly and quick to get our order out.I just wished our grilled cheeses weren't grilled so long. The slightly burned taste was there. This place is small, but humble. If you're new to Santa Fe, New Mexico, come here for the Zozobra artwork. The Four Corners flags on the ceiling. The quirky Breaking Bad picture and other oddities scattered throughout. The code-accessed restrooms were a short walk nearby in the same building.I parked in the lot across the street. It was $4 for 2 hours. Like most Santa Fe parking spots, they are on the small side.

We were visiting Santa Fe from out of state and decided to give this place a try for dinner as we were looking for some cozy comfort food. Service was excellent. Super great. We both had grilled cheese (with green chilles) and the tomato soup, Sandwich was tasty, soup could have been like 15% warmer. Also it was bit cold inside as well, but not terrible. The food and the service still made for a worthwhile visit.

According to yelp they were open for business. Closed!!!! What a let down especially when it states that it was open.

Tasty treats! We had a mac- and- cheese-aholic visiting, so we took her here. She was IMPRESSED & we tried SEVERAL of their creative, custom dishes! They were generous serving sizes so the 4 of us got to sample everything. ;)They can do some without cheese, for those of us who have to watch such things, but the cheese is a STAR in the show, so I don't recommend it... although the guys running it would bend over BACKWARD to accommodate you, should you venture in.

Literally the best mac & cheese I've ever had. And the Santa Fe one with green chile is absolutely perfect. Very hardy portions at a great price. And the people working there are super chill and friendly. Highly recommend!

You are not prepared for this. Epic grilled cheese sandwich you won't soon forget. And friendly personal service too. Do yourself a favor and stop here!

We ran across the place just by chance. But what a nice surprise! The Mac and cheese was made-to-order and was soooo good! And the owner was the best! Have us some great recommendations on things to do locally. Highly recommend!!
