We stayed 5 nights in SF, and we ate all but one of our breakfasts here (the only other breakfast spot was Pasqual's, and that was good as well)...the service was great (I believe that it is 3rd or 4th generation owner's) the food was great with some very good local variations on southwest food at its best. Centrally located... more

Reading the reviews I was looking foward to try some local food. The first problem is that the cafe does not have a big selection of local cuisine.

We ate there for breakfast, it was great. We had the omlette, the eggs were fluffy, not runny. The hashbrowns were great also. Coffee was great, also good sized portions. I would highly recommend this lovely cafe. more

Service was good. Prices are good. Food was OK. Wife had chipotle shrimp which were pretty well seasoned and fairly well cooked. I had a combination which was OK but the tamale was kind of dry and the taco meat was very fatty. Sopapilla was not as crisp as I usually like and was hard to cut and eat. Would... more

BEST SOPAPILLAS in Santa Fe!!!! They ALWAYS serve them FRESH! Savor each bite with a drizzle of honey! And? Their red sauce KICKS BUTT! (Whew! I can't handle their red sauce because it packs A LOT of heat. BUUUUT, it's also got some amazing intense flavors!!) more
