Food: Enjoyable food, not always stellar

The Bacon Breakfast Burrito at Santa Fe Express has a cult following for its delightful blend of meaty goodness and toothsome flavors. The Bacon Burger on Sourdough fares almost as well with praise for its perfectly grilled bacon. Their fries too receive their fair share of adulation for their consistency. However, while mostly good, the food sway reflects that not all dishes hit the mark every time. The cuisine is generally fresh, and value is found in their decently priced sandwiches and snacks.

  • Great Taste

    Delicious, unforgettable, great, and consistently good food greatly praised.

  • Okay Quality

    Food is generally fresh, well-priced, though not all items mentioned.

However, while the restaurant gets an A+ for its service, guests might find the outdoor seating less appealing, no thanks to the deafening noise from passing trains.

  • Bad Outdoor

    Outdoor seating noisy with passing trains, compromises experience.
