El Rio Cafe - Santa Fe

We stopped by for breakfast on Sunday and were pleased to find patio seating that welcomed our two well-behaved dogs. The service was attentive, with our coffee and water being refilled multiple times. The owner even came out to check on us and ensure everything was satisfactory. We both decided to try a local favorite, the Green Chile stew, and it was phenomenal! Having tried this dish at several other places, I was pleasantly surprised by just how delicious it was—definitely a must-try. I also ordered a simple hand-rolled burrito made with fresh ingredients, while my wife went with the Cobb salad. Since she has allergies, our waiter was careful to leave off the items we requested. The salad was generous in size and incredibly fresh. Everything was prepared fresh at the time of our order—no pre-made burritos or salads here!

A laid-back, hidden gem for amazing New Mexican breakfast.
