Santa Fe - Kiel

We tried the new Mexican restaurant for birthday. the food came after 55 minutes and it was not a special one. we had to ask three times for dessert whether it comes and twice for the bill. the waiters were very nice, but the overall experience. was unsatisfactory.

With burgers and the positive reviews here we visited on Wednesday night to see how germany mexiko does. the dinge started well when we could get 1.5 liter pitcher of caught jever, and were better than a behemoth of a burritos lay on the table. stuffed with huhn, drilling and vegetables, it more than on the place. with a little hotter sauce on the table to give more fire, empty teller went back to the kitchen and very happy moms paid and left

We chose this restaurant because we were a mixed group of all around and a few people on a vegan diet (I and the nabenby), we thought a mexican would definitely offer both options. And apparently this restaurant is an institution in kiel (i.e.... there is forever.) the atmosphere is what they expect from a tex mex ort. our waiter was super friendly, and when I asked if the Quinoa patents were vegan, he immediately went on to explain what was on the menu or was 't or could simply 'veganized'... I was very impressed. the starters were ready in no time (afteros with salsa and some quite interesting jalapenos chili filled with peanut butter hot! , but unfortunately the main course took much longer. a bit too long really (1h30 after our arrival.) when it finally arrived, I must say that the carnivores were very impressed by their kangaroo steak, chicken steak, satay huhn. as for the veggi fajitas. well they were composed of exactly 2 sweets: baby mais and sweet potatoes (I actually had 2 mini curgette rings, but my man had no . since I am not a big fan of mais, I was quite disappointed. the whole tasted nice, however, as the supplements (the ones who would also get the fleshy fajitas: so tomato, olive, guacamole, fried beans were excellent. other very beautiful surprise: the bill: 105 euro for 5 people! judge: go for the meat and order some appetizers (how eating could take a bit long!

What a terrific atmosphere--relaxing and fun. We are living in Norway but are from Houston, TX and although the food is southwestern the place reminded us of home. Our waiter was great! The food was fair to good with ample serving sizes at reasonable prices.

We really wanted to like this place. the staff is lovely, the cuisine unusual for kiel. perhaps i was burdened by too much knowledge of what authentic southwestern US food is like--my partner enjoyed the thing that they call a burrito okay--i just happen to...know that it really wasn't a burrito. but the real problem was my seafood sampler. the grilled shrimp was good, but one of the two types of fish was badly overcooked and the other was merely bland. the grilled veggies were good, though. rumor is that the more expensive items (the bison dishes) are good--maybe we just ordered poorly. but despite the very nice atmosphere, there are lots of places we'd go before returning here.
