Perfectly cooked empanadas with lots of veggie options, beautiful setting that incorporates a lot of local art, plants, pottery. Also not crowded even on weekend! read more

Everything here really worked -- beautiful, comfortable outdoor patio space -- lush and shady and spacious. Hospitable, gracious & competent staff, a great pace to the service/meal. We had a great seasonal salad -- brussels sprouts "petals," smoked gouda, cherry tomatoes, fresh oregano, honey balsamic v-grette -- yum! Also had some empanadas, and the roasted corn bruschetta (my favorite) and for dessert some flan and a dulce de leche empanada. Oh, also had a "Matehattan" cocktail and a tasty local/regional beer. Reasonable price / solid value / good, real food. Highly recommend! read more

Beautiful space filled with light. Windows lined with Mate cups interspersed with greenery. Ample seating. First to arrive on a Saturday morning. Genuine, friendly greeting and incredibly accommodating with our time constraints. Food was beautifully presented using fresh, local ingredients. Impressed with the vegan option of mashed banana with the muesli bowl. And nothing beats an empanada sampling fresh out of the oven! This is a true Santa Fe gem. Can't wait to return! read more

Cafecito - Café seating area. - Argentine Near Me - Santa Fe, New Mexico

Wow what an unfortunate experience.. the stars I gave is for the food since it was decent. I came in first to ask where I could sit with my dog and was pointed to a specific table, by a female staff member, that was perfect for us as it was in the shade (I'm a redhead so that's a must) and with ample room for my dog to just relax and not be bothered. Once I showed back up after retrieving my dog from the car another person, a male staff member, who told me that sitting there wasn't an option since it was going to be lunch hour and they would be packed and I was given a table for four. Well I showed up at 12:00pm and left by 12:35pm on a Monday and the place is almost empty.. so when does the lunch rush start? The waiter made me incredibly uncomfortable even though he finally caved and let me sit there. I shoved the empanadas in my mouth and promptly left. Super disappointing! read more

Really great food and absolutely wonderful ambience, it's delightful to sit out underneath the trees at a number of different types of seating arrangements. read more

This is a delightful gem we lucked upon while traveling through Santa Fe. Lots of outstanding homemade empanadas and pasta sauces made for a really wonderful lunch. The desserts are exceptional as well read more

We waited over 30 minutes after being seated and still no one has taken our order me and 2 another tables just got up and left awful staffing read more

Ordered coffee and empanadas and after waiting 50 minutes had only gotten the coffee. Restaurant was closing and the server never returned in spite of us asking another person to check on the status. Will not be returning, which is to bad bc we used to like this place. read more

Great food, excellent service, clean and inviting. Everything from our cocktails to dessert was delicious.

Had breakfast on Monday after Christmas in town from Dallas. Heard Santa Fe was a great place to check out the sites, food and art. Cafecito did not disappoint. Spot on service. Everyone was extremely nice and efficient. Food was perfect and fresh. Would highly recommend this place for breakfast. May try their dinner too! read more

Cutest restaurant with great service and great food! I would travel back to New Mexico for the empanadas monthly if I could. The hibiscus mimosas were the best mimosas I've ever had! We went two days in a row while we were in town. We loved the entire vibe of the restaurant with plants everywhere and lots of light. A must visit! read more

A taste of Buenos Aires in New Mexico. We were there for breakfast. The coffee is really good and the croissants were perfect.

I am very impressed. First impression, the layout is great. Very open, lots of lighting, lots of space. Nice and clean, all the more appealing in the COVID era. We were greeted at the door and given the choice between front and back patios. The prompt and friendly service/attention continued throughout our dinner. This is clearly a nice place with very well trained staff. Clearly, a good amount of thought was put into setting it up. Solid wine and draft list, and our food was excellent. This place struck that sweet spot between being casual enough to drop in whenever but upscale enough to feel like you're really out. Not overpriced, either. I look forward to making this a routine spot for weekend dining. read more

No. This was place was amazingly good. Not only have they developed an amazing atmosphere but the food is refreshingly tasty. From the dough of the empanadas, to the freshness of the salad, to the insides of each empanada, down to the fresh hibiscus iced tea - this place was the highlight of a trip to Santa Fe New Mexico. The staff is extremely friendly and you can rely on this place to give great service. I literally can't believe how it amazing it was. I'm scared to say toooo many good things about it, don't let me hype it up for you. Just go not knowing what to expect and enjoy the mood. :D read more

Food was good, cocktail selection was not good (very strange drink concoctions and no substitutions), and the sever was terrible, I had to ask for everything, like refill of water, remove my plate before bringing food -- basic stuff. Breakfast and lunch service is good, even during the pandemic but dinner not so much. read more

We were missing empanadas, and wow, what a find!! The santa fe chicken was bland, but the carne and humita were sensational. Excellent dough all around. The chimichurri sauce is out of this world. We also had very good salads and yummy dulce de leche empanada for dessert. After 3 days of nonstop Thanksgiving eating we were only slightly hungry, but this was totally worth it, the staff were very gracious about our odd orders, the delicious smells made us sorry not to be able to have a more substantial meal read more

We love the landscaping and the serene, perhaps even Zen feeling of the outdoor areas of this restaurant. The food and service are okay. It took 35 minutes to get melted cheese. When asked if the order was forgotten, the defensive and unpleasant manager said "not at all!" and walked off. read more

Excellent experience. Amazing empanadas. Great service. Will come back and refer all my friends.

Delicious! We had the empanada sampler and the house special latte. A must try in Santa Fe

I stopped in Santa Fe for a couple of days, and I searched for an Argentinian restaurant, and I found Cafecito. I am from Argentina. Amid the pandemic, we had no choice but to order online and pickup curbside. The ordering online was smooth. After ordering online I received a call to make sure everything was correct. After 25-30 minutes, I called head, parked by designated spots, and Stephanie (who was great), came out with the food. She was even nice enough to come back and get us more packs of mayo. We went to the hotel, and every single one of us four loved the food. We all had the Milanesa with mashed potatoes. The Milanesas were great, good meat. We also ordered empanadas, ham and cheese, and meat were spectacular. The chimichurri was excellent. For dessert, we ordered alfajores de maicena, which were very good, nice and smooth. I also had some words with the owners of the place, who apart from being from Argentina, were extremely welcoming and accommodating. Overall, the experience was fantastic and I would come back every time I am in town or in the state even. Highly recommendab read more

We found this place on our trip to Santa Fe. We were looking for a nice place to eat with a food cup of coffee. Their dolce de leche latte is fantastic.

We will definitely come here again on our next trip to Santa Fe. read more
