Reviews for Santa Fe Steakhouse & Cantina in McAllen, TX
Went on a monday afternoon at 5. It was a dark dinning room where we sat hence 4 stars and because food was Ok. My sirloin had... nothing special compared to Longhorns. My hubby got a ribeye and it was soft and juicy but he said hes tasted better. Spinachdip was pretty good. Waiter was great! Read more
Been here many times but last night was the worst. I went with a party of 8 and the server was terrible. I guess because the... server was aware she would get a good tip because of the gratuity. She never checked on us and she brought the soup and salad wehad ordered at the same time we brought our food. We obviously wanted it before. Not only that but our soups were so cold. Shenever brought us bread and we had to ask for it twice and she finally brought it once we had our food.. my steak (filet Oscar)was freezing cold but I didn’t want to wait longer so I just ate it.. it was the worst experience ever. Then my husbandreceived his “medium rare” ribeye on the bone (well done) so they brought him another that tasted absolutely awful. It wasmedium rare on the inside but on the outside it was completely burned. Another server even mentioned to us that our steak lookedcompletely charred. We brought it to the server and managers attention and the manager said he would take it off our tab then heremoved the steak from the table. The server then came back with the tab charging us things we never ordered plus the burnedsteak. Oh and did I mention the loaded potatoes were freezing as well and dry. When we mentioned being over charged to theserver she got really rude and said she had talked to the manager for quite some time about charging us the steak. Like what??You’d think that for a high end restaurant they’d atleast bring out warm and acceptable food. Read more
Nice intimate setting, but a bit too dark. Staff was very friendly and food was good. I had the New York Steak and my husband... had lamb. There was a piano player and the ambiance would've been better if it weren't for a large table of about 7-8 peopleseated right in the middle of the room (about 2 feet from us). The man at the head of the table had to talk loud enough for theones on the end to hear, so you can imagine how that was.. maybe it would be best to sit large parties in a separate area????????????

I want to thank everyone at Santa Fe Steakhouse for making this night special. Everything from the service to the food was top... notch. The room I reserved was perfect for the occasion. Thank y'all again for a wonderful night that my fiancé & I will alwaysremember Read more
The food was great! I love bread pudding dessert that my husband ordered. I ordered the chocolate ganache, it was good maybe... too chocolatey for me and I needed some milk to drink it down. The calamari was good, we normally try calamari at every newrestaurant to make comparisons. Wish it had something to dip it in. I splurged a little and had to try the Japanese Wagyu, ithad great flavor ???? But I didn't know it came with sides, so I ordered leek soup, which was super good! It comes with greenbeans/bacon and mashed potatoes. Julio was our server and was very attentive and explained a lot about the dishes. Theexperience was excellent ???? Read more

Upscale dining experience in a cozy environment. Their outdoor patio area was unique in that they had fans and/or heaters to... keep patrons comfortable. We tried several plates. Their wagyu beef steak was to die for, pricey at $100 but that's expected.Their ribeye and porterhouse steaks were the highest quality as was their lobster, very good flavor & tender too. The rack oflamb was my favorite of the day. French cut and cooked to perfection; not too gamey and with just the right amount of seasoning.Their calamari and scallops are highly recommended too! Perfect indoor low lit romantic atmosphere for taking your date orspouse. Relax and enjoy the experience. Read more
