Santa Fe Trail, Mexican restaurant in Quilmes, Argentina.
Santa Fe Trail is a Mexican restaurant in Quilmes, Argentina, serving tacos, enchiladas, burritos, and sauces drawn from different parts of Mexico. The menu covers a wide range of classic dishes, with recipes that follow regional cooking methods from across the country.
The restaurant opened in Quilmes in the early 2000s, at a time when international food options in the city were few. It was among the first places in that part of greater Buenos Aires to focus specifically on Mexican cooking.
The name of the restaurant references the old trade route that connected the American Midwest to the Southwest, giving the place a sense of history before the food even arrives. The menu draws from several regions of Mexico, so what lands on the table changes depending on what you order.
The restaurant opens in the evening and stays open later on weekends than on weekdays. It is worth checking ahead if you plan to visit on a weeknight, as closing time comes earlier those days.
The restaurant sources spices and some ingredients directly from suppliers in Mexico, which means certain products are specially imported. This is why some flavors on the menu are hard to find anywhere else in the area.
