    Plaza Breakfast with Impossible plant-based sausage
    Mark R.

    Highest possible recommendation for this place! Breakfast was excellent (and they serve it until 4 pm), the service was friendly and attentive, just a great experience. Nice interior, not too noisy, and it's big enough that you probably won't have to wait to be seated. Really enjoyable experience.

    This place gives me diner vibes. We arrived during the week and it was not too busy. We were seated almost immediately with friendly service. There is bar, dining room and outdoor seating available. There were so many options on the menu. We ordered the posole and hatch green chile cheeseburger. Both were good. Everything came out hot and flavorful. I'm always on the hunt for a good chicken fried steak. I'll be back to try their New Mexico chicken fried steak!

    Appetizer Trio
    Diane C.

    Came here for a big family brunch and had the most wonderful experience -- definitely one of my favorite places we ate at during our whole trip! I tried my first sopapilla here and it honestly changed my life. I was worried it would be greasy and heavy, but it was light and fluffy and tasted amazing with the whipped butter and honey. My partner and I shared the beef stew with green chile, which was delicious -- the green chile added so much flavor. We also shared the pancakes (they were just okay) and the breakfast burrito with green chile, which was pretty good. My grandma ordered the gluten-free French toast, which came with whipped pecan cream and green apples, and it was so delicious that I wished I had ordered it myself. We started with the appetizer trio -- tortilla chips with pico de gallo, guacamole, and queso with green chile -- and that was also pretty good. Overall, my favorites were the French toast, the sopapilla, and the beef stew with green chile!

    Turkey Melt
    Emily Y.

    That turkey melt hit SO GOOD. Melty cheese, crispy bacon, sweet onions, and smooth avocado = joy in every bite. I'll be haunted by this sandwich for a while.

    This is a must when you're in Santa Fe, literally EVERYTHING is good and the service is impeccable! We started with margaritas and they are fresh, refreshing, and not too sweet! Highly recommend the prickly pear! We live in LA and DREAM about the green chile queso, and it once again did not disappoint! We ordered 2 orders and cleaned the bowl! Then for entrees we got a variety from New Mexican staples to the turkey club with the green chile sourdough, to the chicken fried steak, to the Green Goddess salad and all of them were 10/10! No notes! Then although we were so full, we had to get dessert! We went with the key lime pie and the coconut cream pie, and dare I say the coconut cream was life changing! The key lime was also delish, but the coconut cream altered our brain chemistry! We are counting down until we can come back!

Patrons form a line to order, and signs on tables ask guests to order before settling into a table. Before we could give up and walk out, the owner/manager approached us at the Mille entrance with complete kindness, and he invited us to enter with the stroller to find seating before ordering. We were so surprised by his desire to accommodate the baby, and we accepted his generous offer, quickly finding a little corner table in the covered patio area at the back of the restaurant. Once the stroller was out of the way, I placed our orders, and we received our drinks quickly - a black hibiscus iced tea plus a creamy London Fog. Brunch followed shortly - croque Madame for me, veggie quiche for my friend, and a Nutella crepe to share. My taste of the quiche was super creamy, and the croque madame was as rich as expected. Crepe was lovely, though I wish they hadn't run out of eclairs, which are my favorite. We'll have to show up earlier next time - and there will be a next time! Thank you for the hospitality, Mille. The way you welcomed us, stroller and all, made all of the difference.

Cafecito has been showing up on my reels and it looked like the kind of special I wanted. Just a few steps away from the Railyards, this place seems to be in its own island, in a quiet corner. The place is simple in decoration, with lots of plants, plenty of natural light, and a cozy vibe. The manager or owner greeted us. We started special the right way . Staff took a little longer than I expected to take our order (or I may have been veeeery hungry). However, our order came quite quick! The hubby ordered the Santa Fe and Carne Empanadas with lentil soup. I ordered the Gaucho to get some range. The empanadas were quite good and tasty. They were on the medium size, well packed with protein, with a nice and soft pastry. The Santa Fe had very fragrant green chiles and good seasoning on the chicken. The Carne had an amazing taste on the wagyu with a bit of spice and sweet with those peppers. The lentil soup was thick and tasty with every spoonful. The Gaucho, unfortunately, was not as successful as the empanadas. The sourdough was thinly sliced and perfectly toasted, pairing well with the butter and quince jam. The provolone and tomatoes were confusing, but they were well portioned. The eggs were fluffy and ok, nothing to die for, just well executed. The flank steak relied a lot on the chimichurri, which added great acidity, but without it, the steak did not have its own seasoning or flavor. It was satisfying, but the visuals tricked me into thinking it was going to blow my mind. Overall, this is a nice space to hang with friends for a special occasion and enjoy some tasty options. I'm interested in returning to try other things. I like when a place sparks my curiosity.

They were perfectly executed: the chiles were tender yet held their structure, the cheese was beautifully melted, and the batter was light and golden without being greasy. What really sets them apart is the depth of flavor in the sauces. Whether you go red, green, or "Christmas," you can taste the authenticity and the quality of the ingredients in every bite. It's the kind of meal that makes you want to slow down and savor it, yet leaves you planning your next visit before you've even finished.

Unfortunately, the charm started wearing off when I realized the entire building was coughing. Kitchen? Coughing. Staff? Coughing. Customers? Coughing. At one point it sounded less like a restaurant and more like the waiting room at urgent care during flu season. I generally prefer my breakfast without the ambient soundtrack of respiratory illness, particularly when some of the coughing is coming from the people preparing the food. Meanwhile, the AC was apparently set to "meat locker," so I froze my ass off while drinking coffee that immediately informed my colon we had somewhere else to be. Combine that with the nuclear salsa and I was suddenly operating under a very real deadline. Naturally, I walked outside to discover I had been completely parked in. And somehow my friend, who parked in a totally different spot, was ALSO parked in. So now two adults with increasingly urgent gastrointestinal situations are performing eight-point turns in the parking lot like we're taking the final exam at defensive driving school. The food was genuinely good. Unfortunately, good eggs can only carry an experience so far. If you go, bring a jacket, perhaps a KN95, know the location of the nearest bathroom, and for the love of God, park somewhere you cannot get boxed the fuck in.
