El Cafecito

"We used to drive there just for the food and every visit we always stopped there. Not going to anymore. Tacos were half soft half hard beef had no taste rice water soupy and too much tomato sauce too much pepper in the salsa took away the flavor. We waited 5 minutes just to get a drink order taken. I will say the girls bussing and helping our server were great and we always love to get a hello from Lena she’s always a great personality. But for the first time in many years was very disappointed with the food."

"New Visit: So I ended up back at El Cafecito because of the Quirky Turkey sandwich, which is definitely Cravable. If you want to experience it, ya gotta be in the know because it's not on the actual menu. If you order it though, do the smart thing and order Sweet Potatoes Fries instead of regular. Then use honey on your fries. That's a tip, straight from the owner. This was our 2nd trip here. It's a very clean restaurant. The wait staff was very attentive and we got our food promptly. It was delicious and the portion size is great for the price, which includes the traditional desert of sopapilla. Definitely recommend!"

"Wow! Just wow - we tried this place on a recommendation from some friends and they were dead on! El Cafecito is amazing. Very simple menu but the flavors! Started with teezer nachos, the queso on it was spicy and fantastic. I had beef, bean and guacamole sopapilla covered in green chile sauce also had a beef chimichanga with guacamole with green Chile sauce both of these items were delicious! The real surprise was desert. Basically a sopapilla stuffed with home made cherry pie filling rolled up like a chimi and deep fried, served with vanilla ice cream (icecream was $1 extra) They also offered peach and apple filling and when I go back will sample the others as well and will update my review! When we were departing and paying up front they had the biggest cinnamon rolls I’ve ever seen and also turnovers with the same fillings described above! If you’re any where close to this place you should stop by, you will NOT be disappointed! I am posting a pic of my plate - it’s messy because I took a bite before the photo… I went back through here yesterday - 21Apr2023 - had breakfast. Larry’s special with green chile sauce - plus an order of French toast. Larry’s special was awesome the French toast was basic, but good. I bought a cinnamon roll to go and heated it up later with some butter as recommended by the staff and it was delicious. I’d recommend this place for any meal!"

"Very reasonable prices. Nice atmosphere. No chips and salsa which was unusual. Food came out fast once we ordered. Had the taco plate, tacos were decent as were the beans. I was not a fan of the rice, it was soupy and tomato sauce based, tasted like spaghetti-o's to me; my husband liked it though. He had the chimi plate w/green chile and said it was quite good. I tasted the sauce and it had a good kick to it. We also got a cheese enchilada and cheese crisp to sample. The red enchilada was fine but the sauce lacked some flavor and depth. The cheese crisp was tasty but unexpected, it was like a cross between a cheese crisp and a sopapilla or fry bread. Left full with some leftovers and a bill of only $24 including tax, before tip."

"Looking for a good hot breakfast? Found it! Best huevos rancheros ever! Best green chili salsa! Amazing handmade tortillas, especially the corn tortillas! Hand squeezed orange juice! Great coffee! I knew that I had the right place when I pulled in and the parking lot was full. Friendly waitress and a wonderful atmosphere with the nice people and beautiful decorations. Oh my goodness! I can't say enough nice about this place. Mark it down on your saved places. You'll want to come back her for real authentic New Mexican cuisine. Get a quart of the salsa to go. You won't be sorry. The price is better than the local supermarket. Breakfast was cooked to perfection! I just had to write this all down before I head home. This place puts Grant on the map! And CLEAN! The restroom, the floors, the parking lot! Not too many places like this to be found. I thank God I found it. Thank you El Cafecito!"
