Delicious empanadas.. from past experience Argentina based places do really good empanadas. And CafeCito does, our group tried several batches of 3, and i got avery good not oxidized iced mate... Fun little place!

Carne Empanada with wagyu beef, bell pepper, egg with chimichurri. Good flavors.

Sunday sanctuary in Santa Fe. Service was prompt & welcoming. Ambiance was surrounded in nature. Nature light & air was delightful. Good portions & satiating. Will enjoy returning for more. Plenty of indoor & outdoor seating.

Still one of my faves for lunch. The roasted chicken is outrageous. I do wish they'd control the flies inside which are really a bummer, but the food and ambiance is always great.

Lovely atmosphere and kind staff. Great seating inside and outside. They have a great selection of food and drinks as well. Very clean inside. I got the stuffed trout and while it needed some seasoning, it was fresh and good. Love the side salad that comes with it too.

It's a hidden gem! Good selection of food & drinks. We tried empanada carne and steak salad plus Chimichurri fries. The empanada was ok, the steak salad was perfect choice for something light with meat, too bad that we received it well done instead of medium rare request. The fries were too salty for my taste. Overall it is a good restaurant especially if you are tired of Mexican food while in Santa Fe

PERUVIAN ROAST CHICKEN
Andrew R.

Another excellent meal, today PERUVIAN ROAST CHICKEN and Stuffed Trout, both superb. Great service too. Went at 11 AM just as lunch started, easy to park and get in. By the time we left, it was packed. Highly recommend the trout, it was outstanding!

Panquque!

My first visit here was amazing! I was visiting for house hunting and was told to visit this wonderful gem of a place. The panquques are delicious and so are the empanadas! Cannot go wrong with any of them! (Though I do have my favorites ) Our server was a wonderful lady as well! Came with my S/O of course too, and we were so pleased to see that it's such an inviting atmosphere that's also dog friendly. We immediately came here once we officially moved a month later, and we saw the same server and she remembered us! How can you not love a place so warm and inviting with such phenomenal staff?

I'm reviewing Cafecito as my first spot of 2025 because for me, it was a good reminder of something that I'm trying to focus on, which is it's OK to treat yourself sometimes. Like seriously even if you're going out it alone, we all deserve a beautiful meal every once in a while. I came to Cafecito solo before a work event. I don't spend much time in Santa Fe. You know how it is living in Albuquerque even though it's pretty close it's not always top of mind. Anyways, I've been through Cafecito before, but never for a full meal. One perk of coming somewhere alone is it's often much easier to get a seat. Anyways, I sat down and just enjoyed the environment. It's very open and filled with life. I ordered the Argentine Way with a croissant and the skirt steak, as well as both the jam and the dulce de Leche. It was such a beautiful meal and so simple. I also ordered a latte and that was amazing as well. Service was very friendly. Truly, everything was great. The definition of five stars.

Smoked Salmon Tartine

I had the smoked salmon tartine and it was delicious. Came with lovely salad too. Very light and fresh and beautiful to behold as my first meal of the day at this amazing restaurant. Sat outside by the seated fountain. Lovely location and great staff too.

Had breakfast here and everything was delicious. Plenty of seating inside and out, great service. Our server even told us how certain things were prepared, hand chopping versus blender so leaves would not get bruised for the chimichurri. .

September 5, 2025 is my first visit to this loveliest establishment. I'm in Santa Fe visiting family. My Google search for breakfast places near me brought me here. There is good parking nearby. Some in their parking lot and some on the street. If you haven't been here before, the streets wind around a little bit and you may feel like you're lost but stay with your GPS and keep your eyes open. Excellent building design with big windows and nice natural light. Seating is both inside and outside. Staff is friendly and accommodating. I came at midmorning, so there was no wait to have breakfast. I chose the empanada and will say I was very impressed. The pastry is thin and delicate, and the inside is packed with a mixture of meats, potatoes and eggs. The chimichurri sauce is a welcome addition to this lovely food. It was very fun to have a little salad on the plate for breakfast! The orange juice was refreshing and delicious and I really like their coffee. Prices are very good.

Such a hidden gem! Heading out to Santa Fe for lunch with my GF was well worth the trip. We arrived separately and I was seated in a sunny part of the restaurant. It was perfect as the weather still had a chill,in the air. Lots of natural light fills this cafe. The sun rays gave warmth to the space. We ordered hibiscus tea, hot. Tea was just what we needed to warm up. I later ordered the avocado toast. My egg was cooked as I liked it ...hard scrambled. My plate arrived with a beautiful green salad on the side which complemented my avocado toast. Perfect meal for lunch. Our wait staff was attentive but also gave us our space to enjoy the atmosphere and conversation. I have added this place as a nice stop when looking for new places to bring a friend.

Dulce De Leche Latte
