    From a different visit and I'm cracking up at myself that I wore the same shirt love this place
    Jonathan L.

    Absolutely adore this place. One of our favorite stops in Santa Fe. Always good food great quality. Staff is always warm friendly and consistent. Love the ambience such a sweet vibe! Great food!

    BLUE CORN ENCHILADA CASSEROLE with chicken and Red/Green Chile
    Andrew R.

    I really wanted to like this place, but alas, the food was so-so/average, and the service was less than stellar. I dined with my wife and 10 others at a large table during the Santa Fe Foodies meet-up. I tried the BLUE CORN ENCHILADA CASSEROLE with chicken and Red/Green Chile (Christmas). Added an egg. The green chile was somewhat flavorless, while the red was better, with nice heat, but far from the best in town (IMHO, thus far, Café Castros). The chicken was nice, as was the garnish of lettuce, tomato, onion, cilantro, and sour cream. But for $22, I was underwhelmed. My wife and four others had the special, which was Eggplant Parmesan. It was okay, but again, nothing special, and the 'garlic' bread lacked both garlic and flavor. This dish came with a salad; the server never asked what anyone wanted for a dressing, instead providing different salad dressings to other people. The service was subpar; the servers didn't know who ordered what, even though all the food arrived at the same time, which can be challenging for a table this big. We were presented with our checks without being offered dessert. No one recalled being asked if we were pleased with the food. The restaurant is rather loud, and the wooden chairs lacking cushions are rather uncomfortable. The food and service weren't bad, but it wasn't such that I'd be inclined to return, considering there are so many other, better options in this foodie town. It is nice that the restaurant has ample parking in this part of town. All in all, underwhelming, average, three stars.

    nothing about this place is bad but nothing about it is great either. Just OK, maybe we just ordered the wrong thing, but I was unimpressed with the selection on the menu. Most likely will not return.

    Green chile burger
    Jennifer W.

    Had lunch here on Saturday with a group of six. Sat on patio in lovely shade with lots of native greenery/trees around us. Food was delicious and service was very attentive! I had the burrito with carne adovada and Christmas sauce; I couldn't decide which sauce was better bc both were excellent. Friends had the burger, margarita chicken bowl, and fish tacos. We also shared the watermelon and poached pear salads, which were the hit of the meal! We plan to try to replicate both at home.

    Texas Buffalo Burger

    Delicious burger even though I was tempted by the ceviche flight. Easy to get a table and lovely al fresco dining! I have had several wonderful lunches here. I didn't know they were open for dinner until today. Owned by super nice people and they have great staff.!

    Green chili Alfredo pasta with chicken

    DELICIOUS!!!! Cafe Catron is now open for dinner on Thursday-Saturday. All of our dishes were incredible and we ate every bit. Great wine selection too. Atmosphere is nice and staff is attentive. A definite should do

    Caldo de Puerco
    Lindsay F.

    Came here for lunch while on vacation and it was great! The place is cute with nice decor, friendly and efficient service, and my dish was amazing! I decided to try something new and had the Caldo de Puerco and it was delicious!

    Great food. Shady outdoor seating, friendly service, good prices, Huevos Yucatecas and authentic bagels! What else could you ask for?

In town for a work trip, and it's been delights all along the way. This cute (surprisingly big!) coffee shop and eatery is yet another moment of joy. Ordered the usual decaf flat white with heavy cream along with a cherry chocolate chip almond cookie (I had salads yesterday, yall, I owe myself a bakery treat!) and took a seat in the alley-at-turn-atrium. Tons of seating both inside and out here, coffee was quick and fresh and the cookie is just as good as the barista who recommended it said it would be. 5/5 stars, this place is legit!

    I love to support local businesses. Unfortunately aside from the cuteness factor of this place, and…read morethe understanding of the staff when my dad knocked over a glass of water, it is hard to be supportive of this particular business. The tables were dirty, and it was crowded and loud. Some of this could be forgiven if the food was great, but unfortunately the food was just average at best. Think Jimmy John's with avocado on everything. The biggest problem, though is that it is far from ADA compliant. Both my parents use walkers and getting them into the restaurant was difficult. Once inside there is a big step down to get into the main dining area. Maneuvering through here was just difficult enough that we wouldn't be able to return here again even If we wanted to.

Now, the tamale oh my goodness I've never had such a moist tamale maybe the best tamale I've ever had. The pupusa was delicious and they didn't skimp on the cabbage salad. I expected something different with the beef stew. It was much thinner and Brosier than I expected, but it had an absolutely delicious flavor and plenty of meat.

The server also failed to tell us that we could order only off of the one menu that fit the exact time of our visit, which happened to coincide with the time that they switch from offering lunch to the time they serve dinner. The cheeseburger was very tasty. The grilled salmon tacos were good but served with flavorless beans and bland rice. Not a place we'd refuse to visit again, but definitely not one we're eager to return to either.
