Lovely little spot that operates differently depending on the time of day. Morning-3pm you can get very quick service from their door counter. Their Green Chile Breakfast burrito is great. Chiles are charred, eggs are perfectly cooked and the tater tots inside are still crispy! 5pm-evening they open up their indoor seating and I'm looking forward to coming back to try their burger. - Anita Chang

Santa Fe BK Introduce

### Santa Fe BK: Bringing the Land of Enchantment to the County of Kings

New York’s culinary scene is known for its incredible diversity, yet few places offer the distinctive, comforting flavors of New Mexico’s Southwestern cuisine. That’s where Santa Fe BK steps in. Located in the heart of Williamsburg, Brooklyn, this restaurant is a local gem dedicated to bringing the authentic taste of the Southwest to our bustling city. It proudly features the legendary Hatch Green Chile, a cornerstone of New Mexican cooking, in many of its dishes, offering a truly unique flavor profile that sets it apart from typical Mexican or Tex-Mex spots.

Santa Fe BK operates with a dual personality, perfectly catering to the dynamic schedules of New Yorkers. By day (Morning to 3 PM), it runs a quick-service counter for those needing a fast, delicious bite. By evening (5 PM onwards), it transitions into a cozy, casual dine-in space, complete with table service and a full bar. This flexibility, coupled with a menu that spans Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner, makes it an excellent choice for solo dining, a casual get-together, or a full evening experience. What's more, the atmosphere is infused with Southwestern art and a surprising, fun theme inspired by the "A Song of Ice and Fire" series, adding a memorable, quirky touch to your dining experience.

### What is Worth Choosing

For New Yorkers who have experienced all the city's standard culinary offerings, Santa Fe BK offers a genuinely distinctive and comforting cuisine that is hard to find elsewhere. It is worth choosing for three primary reasons: authentic flavor, menu flexibility, and a memorable atmosphere.

First and foremost, the unwavering commitment to Hatch Green Chile is the main draw. This key ingredient, celebrated for its unique smoky heat, defines the New Mexican style and elevates everything it touches, from the creamy Hatch Chile Con Queso to the deeply savory Green Chile Stew. If you're looking for an authentic regional taste of America that hasn't been watered down, this is your spot.

Second, the sheer flexibility of dining is perfect for the New York lifestyle. You can swing by the quick-service counter for a powerhouse Green Chile Breakfast Burrito—praised for being a great morning start with crispy tater tots inside—and be on your way in minutes. Or, you can make an evening reservation, sit down in the Cozy dining room, and enjoy a full plate of Smothered Burro with a craft cocktail or a glass of wine. This duality ensures that Santa Fe BK is a functional local favorite that works for quick lunches and relaxed dinners alike.

Finally, the food is pure Comfort food, delivering hearty, flavorful portions like the Green Chile Cheeseburger or the vegetarian Hatch Chile Mac N' Queso that feel simultaneously familiar and novel. The combination of its authentic Southwestern menu, excellent service, and fun, themed environment makes Santa Fe BK a must-experience dining destination in Williamsburg.
