“ Always fresh. Always fun. Lively atmosphere. Great drinks pulled pork is off the rails. Walking distance from downtown Santa Fe. Don’t miss this fabulous place. ”
“ Fantastic food! Everything was fresh and delicious. I got the carnitas taco platter, which was delicious. One of my companions got the pulled pork, which was amazing and could've probably fed 3 people. Another one got the brisket, which was so tender and moist and a very pleasant surprise. Definitely stop by here if you're in Santa Fe. ”
“ Cowgirl is a very upbeat and authentic southwestern restaurant. The ambiance and decor fits the area very well. It was also nicely decorated for Christmas. They really put a lot of effort into the appearance. For my meal, I ordered wings and chicken fried chicken, which came with mashed potatoes and collard greens. I really enjoyed the meal. The staff was friendly, prices were reasonable, and atmosphere was pleasant. I highly recommend dining here. ”
“ This is the best food I've had in a LONG time. I love "country-style" food, and they have absolutely NAILED it! The service was quick and friendly. Then I went to karaoke in the bar area and had a blast! Everyone there was so fun and welcoming. If I lived in Santa Fe, this would definitely be one of my regular go-to's. ”
“ Cowgirls came recommended from a chef friend of ours who used to live here. So we ventured in and had a frito pie and onion rings. We shared cause it was an early lunch. The service was excellent and the food was so good. We will definitely hit it up again while here on our stay in Sante Fe. The atmosphere is great. They were hoping with the lunch crowd and a folk country band was playing in the bar. It’s worth the stop in. ”
“ We had a fantastic lunch at Cowgirl! My work colleague ordered the crawfish etouffee, and I had the prime rib sandwich. Both dishes were tasty, but they could’ve been a bit spicier. After adding a dash of Tabasco and some salt, they were perfect! The atmosphere was amazing - they had live music and the building was beautifully decorated and interesting. The service was top-notch too! ”
“ Giddy up, cowboys and cowgirls! It’s time for some bucking good food! Caleb had to work this day so Cassey took me downtown to show me some of the city that her and Caleb love. First thing was to find a place to eat and after throwing out a few different places, we landed on Cowgirl BBQ. We rolled up after the lunch rush and quickly got seated. I almost got a buffalo burger at The Ranch House but didn’t feel like trying to customize it so I knew Cowgirl was the place to properly get one. I ordered a Santa Fe Brewing Social Hour beer and quickly fell in love with it. That ended up being my go-to beer during my stay in Santa Fe. While sipping our beers and waiting for our food and with some liquid courage, I asked our waiter if they sold shirts and the manager came over and escorted me from my table back outside, to a side portion that seemed like private seating to a locked door with tubs and tubs of shirts inside. I got a Large since she said the shirts will shrink after a wash or two. Back at my table, I was buzzing from the beer and getting a shirt from my travels. It’s been a recent thing of mine to get a shirt from places to help support them and to rep them while I am out and about during my non-traveling. Anyway, I was buzzing when our food was brought out. I don’t remember what Cassey got because I was enamored with the buffalo burger in front of me. Cooked to a medium rare, each bite was heavenly. Apparently buffalo is a big menu item in the southwest and reflecting back... I kinda wish I lived down there. It’s not much different tasting than a beef burger, to be honest, but it tasted hella good cooked to medium rare. It was nice and juicy and full of flavor. The fries were pretty decent but nothing to rave over. It also came with coleslaw and I got the green chile on the side since I wasn’t sure if I’d like it on my burger. Turns out, I forgot to put it on there but I did sample it and it was really good. As for the coleslaw, I don’t care for coleslaw personally but I did sample it and it was also decent. It was around Cowgirl BBQ that I started to get the hint that I was in for a week of some of the most delicious food I ever had. Boy, how little I knew how true that would become. If you find yourself in Santa Fe, do yourself a favor and wrangle up your friends/family and haul them in for a taste of how delicious the southwest is. Giddy up, readers! ”
“ Returned again and had a late lunch not many tourists. Live band on the patio with BBQ sandwich, beans, mocktail margarita, chilled cucumber and avocado soup and harvest salad. What could be better on a Saturday afternoon in Santa Fe? ”
