Santa Fe Grill & Bar, Riverdale: Southwestern Mexican Since 2003
Santa Fe Grill & Bar, at 6025 Broadway across from Van Cortlandt Park, doesn’t post a happy hour. It’s a Southwestern Mexican restaurant opened in 2003 by Efrain Farciert and Manari Merino, a couple from Puebla.
The verdict: an honest neighborhood Mexican with a real bar, and the place on this stretch of Broadway that stays up late. Nachos and guacamole are $12.95 if you pay cash, wings $14.95, calamari $16.95. The catch: every price has a card surcharge of about 4%, and there’s no discounted drinks window.
What to Expect
- Starters: Santa Fe nachos $12.95, mini empanadas $14.95, fiesta platter $16.95 (cash prices)
- Lunch specials: 11:30am–3pm
- Hours: Sunday to Thursday 11:30am–10pm, Friday and Saturday 11:30am–11pm with the bar open until 2am
The nearest train is Van Cortlandt Park-242 St (1).
