Santa Fe — Restaurant in Town of Hurley

I’ve been to the Tivoli Santa Fe Restaurant many dozens of times over the past couple of decades. I’ve only been to this location once before and it was years ago. It was 3:20 on a Saturday in February. Walking in there were a few other people already in Santa Fe.

We ordered drinks. One beer, Santa Fe margarita, 3G margarita and one Frozen Modelo (a Modelo beer with the classic margarita). The Frozen Medelo looks beautiful and tastes almost as good as it looks. Got to try it if you like beer and tequila. The two margaritas were both delicious. I wish there was a tequila menu on the table to know prices. There is a menu on the website and prices are good. A Milagro Anejo is $10. Most Ajejos are between $10 and $12. Interesting is the $2 charge to make any tequila a Margarita. I wish more places did this to make it easy to pick the tequila you want in your Margarita. Now I wish they carried our favorite tequila; One With Life which is an organic tequila.

I got my goto Shrimp Tacos (Grilled Tacos, Camaron) which I loved. I’ve had them before at the other Santa Fe’s and always enjoyed them. Not sure if it was the eight mile rail trail walk we did but they tasted amazing. My wife had Enchilada de San Miguel (stacked corn enchiladas with mushrooms, spinach, onion, fresh tomato, queso fresco, salsa verde & white cheddar cheese). She said it was delicious.

We shared an order of guacamole. It was fine but not good enough to order it again. Some of the avocado wasn’t mashed, mostly plain tasting (which some people prefer). No chips or salsa comes with it (the menu didn’t say chips would come with it). So we ordered chips and salsa once the guacamole arrived. The chips, salsa and guac were all small portions for the price. Maybe this changes when avocados are in season. One of my biases is that I want chips and salsa on the table. I would be totally fine with meals costing a dollar or two more.

Guac and chips aside, everything was great. Service was excellent, the bartender made perfect drinks and the price was good. I want to go back later in the evening when there are more people there to give it a better vibe. Closes at 9:30 Monday to Saturday and...

First time we have gone so we ordered a few things so we spent a little more then we normally would. It's a big Resturant with half a big bar area a ND some booths and tables and the other half kinda devited into rooms with many more tables and booths. We went on a Monday night late so it wasn't very busy. I had a Margarita Wich was perfect! We started with On special the seafood soup, Buffalo cauliflower and fried plantains. Soup was so good the seafood was not over cooked at all for being in a broth. The buffalo cauliflower was the first time we've had it and it was so good because it tastes said even the texture like buffalo wings it kind of blew my mind. The fried plantains you're really nice with a breaded coating. I had the seafood burrito which came with rice and beans and a small little side salad which was a good idea. My husband is a chef the pulled pork tacos also serve the sides. And my daughter add the steak tacos. Both my husband and I we're very pleased that any piece of seafood the entire meal was cooked perfectly! Both of the taco dishes were great made from scratch taco shells we're very good. The only thing was that they were out of a few of the specials but like I said we came late so that was mostly because of that. I would definitely go back with friends or on a...

Came in for dinner while staying at the Hotel Dylan. The reviews were good, and so my husband and I were really looking forward to our meal. We were sat quickly and our server came over right away to get us drinks. She suggested chips and salsa, but we instead opted for the guacamole. The guacamole was homemade and bland. It came with giant cucumber wheels, tons of chips and raw spinach at the base. The raw spinach was an odd ingredient and we picked it out along with the giant chunks of raw red onion. For our mains we had the chimichanga and enchilada. Nothing about those were authentic or delicous. The enchilada had no sauce and came with huge chunks of unmelted cheese, and more cucumbers. The fried burrito was not as awful, but that is merely due to the fact that it is deep fried. We were offered homemade hot sauce, which was a blaze of heat with no flavor to talk about. The best thing we ate was the key lime pie. It was yummy, and probably not homemade. The chef shluld be embarrassed to call this Mexican cuisine. We must however say that our server was delightful. She was funny, made us laugh and made a bad meal bearable. And the discount to guests at the hotel was a nice touch, but you would be better off eating somewhere else...
