Cowgirl Bar & Grill - Santa Ana

I was able to make it to happy hour and so glad I did. The food was great and I love seeing all the pictures and stories of amazing women. I didn't have a drink but they have a long list including non alcoholic beverages.

We were here for lunch. I had the pulled pork BBQ sandwich with fries. The sandwich was good but I had a much better one in another restaurant a few days before. The fries looked very tasteful but were a bit too soft instead of crispy. The waitress was very friendly.

Visited this place for dinner during a long weekend in Santa Fe. We wanted an easy going environment with good food and found Cowgirl! Easy walk from downtown. Maybe 5 10 min depending on where you’re staying. They have a happy hour from 3pm 6pm Mon Fri and welcome dogs on the patio. We’ll drinks, wine, beer and a variety of food. Great choices! The place filled up very quickly, which is usually a good sign. The staff was excellent. Attentive, energetic and very polite! We ordered three dishes to share and all were really tasty with some spice but nothing too much. We had the Jerk Chicken Wings Tossed in our righteous Jamaican Jerk sauce, served with more jerk sauce on side; chuckwagon chili frito style (I am officially obsessed with Frito style anything at this point ground beef brisket chili with beans and veggies, jalapeños, red onions, sour cream, cheddar cheese and jalapeño cornbread; and pork chops with mash and greens. Really everything was excellent! We came back on Saturday evening as we didn’t feel like looking for a new place and the food and drinks here were excellent! This time we had chips and guacamole (real, made of actual avocados delicious , fish and chips and tried the hot wings (sauce on the side and thankfully so, as this sauce is hot! To our surprise they had a band playing live music, which created that much more of a fun experience. It looks like this place attracts locals also, with tends to be a great sign. So, if you are looking for a fun, non pretentious place, check cowgirl out!

This is a must visit while in Santa Fe. It’s such a cool vibe and they have a kids playground right in the middle of the restaurant! They had live music from 4-6 and a beautiful outdoor patio. I had the vegetarian frito pie and wow! The chili was perfect, definitely homemade. Also, they’re the home of the famous ice cream potato so we had to try it. It looks like a potato but it’s cocoa covered ice cream and it was so good, save room! You will need to drive here as it’s in the outskirts of downtown but for sure, worth it!

Our server was friendly, but the food was subpar. We ended up leaving basically our entire meals uneaten (went to Chick fil A afterwards). We didn 't order bbq but the following items left a lot to be desired: Cabeza de Ajo garlic had no flavor and crostini was very thick cut and rock hard extremely difficult to eat Buffalo wings they came out kind of mushy, not hot and crispy like youd expect. Served with an extremely runny ranch that had a waterlike consistency Chick a licious Mac 'n Cheese I did get the green chilie on the side the cheese was already congealed /separating when it was brought to the table. Completely flavorless, chicken on top was meh, didn 't feel worth eating. Basket of fries I guess these are double fried fries? Unsure. They just taste oily and also not worth eating. I did get a side of jerk sauce just to try and that was very tasty.
