Hidden gem in Santa Fe! Loved the food (PanQueQue) and service was excellent. Ordered two cappuccino, coffee beans used are very smooth, a light roast which I liked.

This is a very special cafe in a city with lots of cafes. You must come check it out. The plants inside are warm and inviting. The food is top notch h. The empanadas are perfectly cooked with a multitude of flavors. The chimichurri sauce is the BEST I’ve ever had. There’s even an affogato dessert, my favorite

Honestly I don’t give many places a 10/10 because usually the service is kinda lacking or like maybe not every single part of the meal was bomb. But this place, we tried every empanada they have and so so good, all of them. The sauces they make are so crazy good they’re worth paying the 1 for. They hooked it up too for my wife’s birthday dessert and the drinks were also top notch which was a cherry on top. Inside and outside seating are comfy and not loud at all. The price for everything was very affordable as well.

We had brunch over here and it was delicious. When it's nice weather, you can eat outside because they have a patio with benches. We had the empanadas with soup and salad. Also, their alfajores were a sweet treat. If you're in Santa Fe you have to go visit this place !

We enjoyed a delightful and satisfying meal that was absolutely perfect for lunch! Later, we discovered my son had forgotten his cellphone at the restaurant. Despite being three hours into our road trip, the restaurant staff were incredibly accommodating. They promptly reassured us that they had found the phone and would mail it to us. They even followed up with the tracking information once it was sent. I am profoundly grateful for the exceptional service at this restaurant.

I am so glad we stopped by this place for late lunch. I enjoyed the empanadas (the mushroom one was my favorite)and soup. You can taste the quality of the ingredients and everything was flavorful. Servers were all friendly and helpful.

We found this place by accident and it is a little off the beaten path but well worth the drive. The outside patio area is very relaxing and conducive to intimate conversations. The staff was very kind and caring and the entire place was spotlessly clean, cleanly decorated and elegant without being ostentious. The menu was not really set up for young children, however they were extremely accommodating and let us order a la carte for the grandkids. So they got eggs, ham, and yogurt with fruit. Accompanying the yogurt was an amazing, very unique, granola which granddaughter did not care for, so I ate it like cereal with a spoon. It was yummy. I ordered the crepes and the caramel was thick and creamy with lots of berries and bananas to balance the gooey sweetness. We also treated ourselves to some unique lemonades including hibiscus, and lavender. They were not too sweet and not too tart, basically the perfect lemonade! The next time we're in Santa Fe we will definitely stop in to the Cafecito to continue exploring their delectable menu.

JUST WOW!! We just happen to stumble across this looking for a brunch spot and I am so glad we did. The atmosphere is spacious and bright and the plants all around are the perfect touch. The bloodies and mimosas are incredible, but the food!!!! Unbelievable, we had the soup and grilled cheese and the steak sandwich! The freshness, the quality of ingredients, the presentation all were amazing. Our server Acadia is such a fantastic human being. We were torn between a few items on the menu and she did not steer us wrong. This is a MUST stop when you visit Santa Fe!
