Amazing burritos and green chili! Found this place 6 years ago and it’s the only place I’ll get burritos! Absolutely love Maria. She is so kind and welcoming. The gentleman in the kitchen are always amazing as well!’
Staff was friendly. They're only doing take out at the moment so no reference on the dining experience. I ordered a side of rice that they forgot but they also didn't charge me for it. I got there at about 11:45 and right after I picked up my order they had a huge line. I ordered the beef tacos and they were pretty good, but I think what they're known for are their burritos so may have to go back to try those.
Amazing service at what seems like a New Mexican or southwestern restaurant with great green chili rather than what some folks consider "traditional Mexican restaurant". That's is fine by me as it actually what I prefer.They have the real deal green chili madd with a Anaheim type pepper here if that's what you are looking for. Food was great with decent size portions especially for what you pay 7-10 bucks a dish. For level of spice the half and half chili was perfect with a good kick but I could still enjoy the other flavors of my meal so I assume hot or extra hot would have actually lived up to the title but they have a mild option too. Place was very clean. Not super fancy just great food, service and atmosphere so we'll be back.
Fantastic way to start the day. When you walk in the counter person is so bubbly and welcoming that it just puts some positivity in your morning. I got the deluxe smothered pork breakfast burrito. I eat 2 chipotle burritos typically, and I found this arm sized burrito filling. This comes with potatoes, eggs, big chunks of pork, lots of cheese, and smoothered in green chili. Enjoyed the cheesyness of the burrito and for the size the price is right. Parking out front, does get busy, and fills up. (because it is worth it) tough to get in from the east and tough to go west coming out. Pleanty of seating for dining in, and keep an eye on the specials written on the board.
Love Cafe Mexico breakfast burritos. I was sad a while back when The Burrito Company on Santa Fe closed. Then I found out that Cafe Mexico was related to them and their burritos were prepared the same way. There is something that hits better with the fried egg instead of scrambled.
