Dutch Mill Cafe

Had the steak and enchiladas.
Very good!

We get the chance to travel through antonito every couple of years. This was the first time that the trip took us through town during the lunch hour. This little cafe doesn't look like much on the outside but it does have a nice interior and they very decent menu. Their Mexican plates are quite good. The bathrooms are well-maintained.

Had lunch there while driving through town. I had a BLT while my wife had a tuna salad sandwich. Both were solid meals and we liked the chips and salsa before the meal. Service was great—my wife had some special t requests and she worked hard to fill them.

If you like green chile in the northern New Mexico style, come to the Dutch Mill. Yes, it's in Colorado, but culturally the San Luis valley is similar to northern NM. The stuffed sopapilla, chile rellenos, and huevos rancheros were all delicious.

Update: I returned this month (July 2021), and it's still a solid 5 stars for me.

Stopped at Dutch Mill Cafe for lunch as we were site seeing. There were 4 of us and everyone was highly pleased with their food! The green and red sauce were especially great! The waitress was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. While we were there, the place was packed with locals, which is always a great sign of terrific food!

Some of the best Mexican-American I've ever had. Im from NY, so don't @ me. Was not expecting this experience based on the sign but holy smokes this place and town I'll remember for a long time. I got the Flauta plate; flavors were amazing especially the pulled chicken.

Great place to watch football... Great food at good prices...Super friendly staff... Up front parking!!!

A nice out of the way restaurant with delicious homemade Mexican food. Ok prices with friendly down home service. Welcoming atmosphere with interesting artwork. There's a large bar nextdoor but it's hardly ever open. If you find yourself in Antonito, Dutch Mill is worth the stop.

The food at this place is terrific—way better than you’d expect for a roadside place in a tiny town. My son’s steak and eggs (a real steak, not one of those minute steaks) was cooked perfectly medium rare, with nice runny over-easy eggs. And my Dutch Mill Skillet was delicious, with big chunks of ham and green chilies blended into softly scrambled eggs.
But the service? Eh. Not so much. Very slow. Our water, salt and hot sauce arrived just as we were finishing our breakfast. Had we waited to eat until we had them, our food would have been ice cold. Fortunately, it was good enough that you didn’t really need the salt OR the hot sauce. Would have been nice though.

Nice place and food volume, either they thought an anglo could not take hot food or are always Midwest hot. Great food though.
