Lovely design and concept of the cafe. A variety of food, the empanadas were very tasty. Lots of greenery inside and outside the cafe! Our French server was very nice, pleasant and deserves big kudos! Don't miss this place if you are in Santa Fe. The only thing I didn't like was the cappuccino. But Santa Fe is not a coffee mecca, so that's negligible.
Absolutely delicious food with high quality and fresh ingredients. The patio is beautiful with the right amount of shady spots at each table, the service is kind and appropriately attentive. The group loved the trout especially (I loved my salad La Tierra Bowl and added a sunny side up egg). Such a great spot for brunch or lunch. I just wish I took more photos of all our food and drinks!
This place is an absolute gem. The elevated experience of a vibrant artfully crafted space filled with loving plants and amazing food. We are the freshest salad, from a local hydroponic grower. I had the most delicious rainbow trout, while my companions noshed away on freshly made daily pasta, a bowl of earthy vegan goodness, and fresh rotisserie chicken. We enjoyed a perfectly made torte. I would honestly eat anything here, but I will come back for the coffee, a blend of central and South American aromatics in a cup of coffee. The wait staff was attentive and helpful, the ambiance was warm and airy. The landscaping had a healing balance. Best meal I have had in Santa Fe, true hospitality.
Our brunch was a highlight of our visit to Santa Fe. Please open a Cafecito location in Las Vegas or Henderson, Nevada! The food was tasty, original, and nicely plated. The decor was funky but composed well. Our server was very friendly and accommodating. While the empanadas I ordered were rich, they were a bit small, and so I enjoyed an additional order of an elegantly prepared crepe.
I've been wanting to visit Cafecito for some time now. Service was friendly and attentive. Atmosphere was cheerful. I love the outdoor seating. I went there to try their margarita, and it was good but a bit too sweet for my taste. I had their hummus and it was tasty. I was also impressed with their menu and will return to try more items out and try their coffee. A menu item that caught my eye was mate! So if your Argentinian this is the place for you! And if you've never tried it, you should come to cafecito and have a cup. Plus they use the proper type of straw for it. Big kudos to this restaurant for serving mate! I definitely will be back!
