Red Enchilada

Im conflicted between the stars so if I could I'd give a 3.5 rating. A couple reasons for that... first of all this place is like a hidden gem! You wouldn't know it from the outside but it's a nice place inside. We went with friends who raved about the popusas and curtido which I'd never had before and that's what we all ended up getting. I got two which had beans and chicharrones with cheese and one with calabazitas and cheese. I also got to try the one that was just chicharrón but it wasn't to my liking. I wasn't a big fan of the curtido which is cabbage, jalapeños, carrots, and onions in a lemon vinegar mixture. I thought it tasted kind of stale or like it had been left out instead of refrigerated. However, our friends loved the curtido and went through it like crazy so I'm going with it's a matter of taste. Your supposed to put it on top of the popusas and eat it like together. Another thing I'd say to watch out for is that parties of 5 or more automatically get charged 18% gratuity and you can't split the check plus the check doesn't indicate the charge for the food plus the tip just the total so if your not careful about what your food cost should be, then you might end up paying way more than you intended too. I think it's super important to tip for quality service but I think it's also important for restaurants to itemize or indicate what the charges are for especially if something is automatically added to the ticket. Overall though I won't mind stopping by again and just getting the popusas!

Food was good but holy moly there were so many flies. . Also the food was Luke warm. I'd heard so many great things about this restaurant and it was just ok.

Went back again, still great, read original review, I'm just updating so next year I can remember what I've already tried and what I want to order next. This time I got the tri-colored enchiladas w/o rice with more pozole and beans, green chile.The pozole was a little more watery than I remembered and kind of affected the beef enchilada near it but it had good flavor. My favorite of the three enchiladas was the cheese. I think next time I need to order the cheese enchiladas and ask for just beans or beans + pozole. I was stuffed after my meal + included sopapailla. Hubby doesn't really care for pozole so he should order with just beans :)

All I can say is I never come to Santa Fe without coming here at least every other day. Their pupusas are amazing!!!

Helloooooo Tourists and Locals. Welcome to Santa Fe. Big Jim and Smalls here.. Today i have a sad tale of woe. The Red Enchilada was a restaurant that I never reviewed, because it was so good, I didn't want a lot of people going and crowding me out. We have been going there for years!But today, January 13, 2025 it all changed. It's sad when restaurant owners turn the product of years of hard work over to children... who screw it up.This place used to have really good food for really good prices. Now the prices have doubled.. DOUBLED! And the proportions have dwindled. The food used to taste good, but now all you taste is Cumin.. cumin, cumin cumin! And now the service is lousy! In the background you hear loud boom boom music coming from the kitchen! Which They turned it down when we asked, but then cranked it back up, when some little chica in the kitchen loudly complained! We couldn't even hear each other! Then, perhaps the lasziest server ever, would start singing with the "music". So obnoxious! They have wonderful soups on Sundays, but now they want 14 bucks for a bowl of soup!! FOURTEEN DOLLARS! FOR SOUP! Big Jim and Smalls do NOT pay 14 bucks for chicken soup! EVER!I would not recommend going here. I'm still trying to get the taste of cumin out of my mouth!

Hole in the wall with really delicious food at super affordable prices. One of our regular spots.

I come here quite often and have loved everything from their menu. Their side dish of Calabasas is incredibly good, but my partner and I both feel this is our favorite.

I always have Huevos Verdes with a side Calabasitas Pupusa. The egg dish has two fried eggs with spinach and papitas smothered in delicious red enchilada sauce. The Pupusa comes with a mild sauce and some vinegar coleslaw. Really good

Love this place! Best place for Pupusas in Santa Fe!! It is a small restaurant, but busy and has a cheerful feel to it. There are gluten-free/vegetarian options as well, which is always a bonus!

Horrible food and a dirty restaurant does not make a happy guest. We have never tasted one bite of food and then left. Horrid
