Santa Fe Mexican Grill — Restaurant in Iuka

We arrived at a busy time but were seated immediately… this is a two level restaurant so where we were seated upstairs was obviously not handicapped accessible, but for us it was fantastic. We had our own little book or room to dine in and it was great to have the privacy.

The service was good, we didn’t have to wait for very long to receive our drinks or have our order taken. Food was brought in a timely manner and was what we would expect of a meal cooked to order timeframe.

As far as the quality of the food, that I will break down into three parts: flavor, quantity, and food temperature.

Flavor: the salsa was a great combination of heat and flavor so it was a good, all around average quality. I would buy chips and salsa if I lived in the neighborhood. The cheese dip wasn’t overly peppery and that’s a must for our youngest daughter who usually only eats cheese dip at Mexican restaurants. The fajitas had a great flavor, the kind that would be great to take home and actually re-warm for lunch rather than throw out after a couple days in the refrigerator.

Temperature: all dishes were served at the temp that would be expected. Hot for hot and cold for cold. In other words, the food was brought up very shortly after it was plated.

Quantity: the servings are large. Quite large by my standards. Absolutely no complaints.

My advice? Go make up your own mind, but I don’t think you’ll ever disappointed.

One last thing to consider… I rank in the top 10% of restaurant reviewers on Google Maps, and I never rate a restaurant unless I feel I can give it a good rating, 4 stars or above. The only exception is if there is an obvious danger to the public. Go...

I didn’t get what I ordered. The menu described the dish as having shrimp steak chicken ham and pineapple. What I received was a plate full of chicken with a few pieces of ham and pineapple. Zero shrimp. Zero steak. The chicken was so seasoned with pepper that there was no other flavor. The rice and beans were bland - no taste at all. THEN - was told that the menu price was wrong - it was actually $2.00 more. So I got LESS than the menu advertised and was expected to pay MORE than the menu stated. The manager was useless in providing any reasonable explanation and acted like - oh well too bad for you. I strongly encourage you to watch what you order and what you are billed. Better yet I strongly encourage you NOT to waste your time or money on this poor excuse of...

First the chips were thin, crispy & great. The salsa has a great flavor. They even bring you a small bowl of cheese/bean dip to eat with your chips. Got a big shredded chicken burrito. Food was fresh and delicious. Temperature wise, it was as hot as if you had cooked it in your own house. Service was fantastic. They all really hustle and have a sense of urgency. Good job yall thank you for the great service! Only thing that would be better for the atmosphere is to get a few gallons of paint and paint that ugly floor. It would really make the place look a whole lot better. They have an upstairs dining area too but I didn't go up there. I live about 30 minutes away but I will definitely come back when I'm in...
