Aside from Philadelphia, Santa Fe might just be the most name-checked city by fast food establishments. It theoretically gave us the best chicken sandwich Carls Jr. ever attempted (wholewheat bun, large green chile, chipotle sauce, cheese…yeppers) and now it presents, in name only, the Del Taco Santa Fe chicken soft taco.

Note to readers: during one of our site upgrades, the original review seems to have been lost. Thus, I am reposting it here, as I feel it’s one of my better pieces. This is the article I published here on the day PASSION first opened
I arrive at the Sony lot at approximately 1:30, for the [...]
