The food (including the empanadas and a sandwich) was bland and boring. The sandwich came out warm on the outside but cold on the inside (with mushrooms and cheese that were not warmed or melted properly). The salad had inedible snap pea strings in it that we had to spit back out. The chimmichurri was quite good but that is the only thing we would eat again. Very nice ambiance and service but you go somewhere for the food!!

We enjoyed Cafecito so much, we came twice during the week, while vacationing in Santa Fe! The empanadas are to die for, and the chimichurri sauce was the icing on top. My sister and I had lunch one day and then brought our husbands a few days later for dinner. I fell in love with their signature dulce de leche latte and then their dulce martini! Super cute, green house vibe setting and great food!
