Santa Fe Cafe

Santa Fe Cafe is a legitimately delightful outlier in the HHI dining scene — authentic New Mexico-inspired Southwestern cuisine with a charming open-air rooftop cantina where you dine under the sun or stars. Innovative Southwestern cooking, excellent margaritas made with quality tequilas, and a vibe that transports you to the desert in the middle of the Lowcountry.

The rooftop is one of the more unique outdoor dining experiences on the island. The fajitas are the real deal — properly seasoned, properly assembled, the kind that make you wonder why you ever order anything else. The margaritas are made with quality tequila, not the well stuff.

A great change of pace from the seafood-heavy HHI dining scene.
