Thunderbird Bar & Grill

Get the fried calamari. It's excellent. Nicely fried with lots of calamari as well as small pieces of onion and red and green peppers. Served fresh and hot. We shared it between 2 people as a small entree with a side salad and it was more than enough. Plenty for the table as an appetizer.Margaritas were unremarkable. The Flaca was particularly unimpressive. It's supposed to be a premium margarita but all I could taste was lime juice . Super sour and no detectable tequila. Not worth $15.Our server was good, brought the food out fast and was pretty friendly.

Only dropped by for a few drinks on the balcony and it was wonderful! Sadly we already had dinner plans.. but all of the tables next to us seemed pleased

We visited Thunderbird Bar and Grill for a quick bite on a weekday afternoon. It was not crowded, and we opted to eat inside because the patio was a bit warm. It was not a good experience, more of a disappointment. Service was slow and inattentive, and we had to ask for drinks and refills more than once. We got the trio of dips and chips, which consisted of tortilla chips, guacamole, salsa and queso. The chips were decent, the guacamole was not seasoned well, the salsa was pretty good, the queso not so much. It's a nice space with a long bar, TVs, etc. Perhaps the service and food were not up to par because it was slow. It was hard to tell. We don't need to go back!

I came in on Sunday at about 2:00 PM for a quick snack and drink. I was able to be seated right away, and be in and out within a half hour.I ordered their spicy margarita, which was excellent. Heavy on the jalepeno, not to sweet and packed a pleasant punch. They nailed it.I also ordered their Tostada Tinga-the grilled chicken with the veggies and cheese on this was wonderful. It was the perfect afternoon snack.

After walking around several churches and shopping places, we came here hungry and thirsty! The good- smelling host led us to an outdoor seating overlooking a park. Service is excellent- she made sure we had everything we needed. Lastly, the food was divine. Check out my pictures- enjoy! 4.8 stars!

The best aspects of Thunderbird are the balcony dining overlooking the plaza and the service.The balcony speaks for itself. Our server, Ari, was attentive, solicitous, prompt, cheerful and funny. She handled gleef our modifications to the order and got our ice cold beers out quickly.They lost stars for the food. The chicken wings were dry, chewy and small without much flavor. The dips were watery (how can you do that to a bleu cheese dip). They were also unremarkable in flavor and punch. I might go again to give them a second chance and to enjoy the people watching. I'll also ask for Ari in hopes she sticks around.

- nice rooftop overlooking town square- friendly service- they attract friendly customers- perfectly sized apps- quick service

This is such a fun patio to enjoy views of the magnificent Santa Fe square and people watching! I had the green chile pork stew and my husband had the chicken tortilla soup. Both soups were really fresh and piping hot with good seasoning. I had the orange-chili margarita that was pretty delicous. However, the rim was sweet when I would have preferred a saltier rim. I would ask for that next time. Just a personal preference. THEY BREW THEIR OWN TEA!!! That is important to us!The service was prompt and attentive. I would definitely return and would like to see what the view is like in the evenings.

Wonderful outdoor seating overlooking Santa Fe square. Lots of excellent fresh beer and wine. Excellent inexpensive Mojito. Food delicious. Chile, etc etc. Friendly staff. Not rushed at all.

Great potential here. Unfortunately, we arrived at a time as if we were an inconvenience for the waiter. He literally acted like he didn't want us there. Wife had the chili. I had the pork stew. My stew was luke warm and not really appealing. The garnishes on the drinks were not fresh. We only come to Santa Fe once a year, but I will avoid this place in the future.
