Cafe Catron

Pleasantly surprised with this hidden gem! The parking lot is easy to miss if you don't know where you are going, but once you are there the ambiance is great. Went on Sunday for brunch, but they weren't too busy. They have indoor and outdoor seating and had mellow music outside. We got seated immediately and drinks and food came quickly. The strawberry scone was great and the main dishes were also good. The chicken fried steak was freshly made, but could have used a little more flavor in the batter (although, we would order again). This restaurant would have been a five star, except once we received our food our waitress never came back for drink refills. Overall a good experience, with good food at a reasonable price we will visit again.

I ate here 2 times while on vacation. The first time I had the deluxe nova salmon which was so fresh. The second time I went I got the French toast and I added berries on top and the French toast just melted in my mouth on the first bite. I cleaned my plate because it was so tasty. I recommend to everyone that visits and wants a good place to go to for breakfast. The service is on point. They have their own parking lot which is awesome.

OUTSTANDING. They had a special of lemon poppyseed waffles that were to die for. I also had the breakfast tostada which was so satisfying and the perfect southwest breakfast. Must try!

I usually have a decent meal at the cafe, bagels are good enough (Not NYC). Todays experience was not great. Ordered a breakfast burrito, the tortilla was paper thin I think the bag was thicker. The tortilla looked like it had been cooked on the flat top in oil, it was not white. When I ordered three eagles to go I was told they were day old. I have one question, how does a bagel place not have fresh bagels??? They get them from Albuquerque!!! Ordered a side of bacon, the back looked and tasted like it was more than a day old cold and dry. Not sure what’s going on here, but whatever it is it in not good at all.

Best place to get brunch or lunch in town. My partner and I come here all the time. The chicken fried steak is amazing and the bagel and lox is the best priced in town. Lattes are great and their bagels are made fresh. Do not miss out on this gem.

Food has always been good. Staff are friendly. Prices are decent, especially given its proximity to the plaza. The Southwest Benedict is my favorite. This is a place we like to frequent.

We visit Santa Fe often and recently found this great breakfast/ lunch spot. I will say this restaurant will be on our favorites list going forward. We both loved the Prime Rib Sandwich and Steak Salad and want to add our service person was so attentive and personable. Hope you enjoy eating here as much as we did. Till next time.

Nice enough atmosphere, but pricey (as expected). Food preparation was disappointing; over easy eggs should have the white cooked, this serving was extremely runny, very under cooked. I expected the bacon to lean toward crisp but like the eggs, under cooked. Recognize that potatoes need to be prepared early but this serving seemed like leftovers reheated. Overall disappointing.

If I could give my sandwich no stars, I would. I've heard that the breakfasts are quite good. However, the club sandwich was one of the worst (and most expensive, at $16.00!) Sandwiches I have ever had. The turkey was processed meat the Swiss cheece was a thin presliced piece , the one tiny leaf of lettuce was limp and the bread was so over toasted that it was more like a cracker. Oh, and it was completely dry toast: no mayo, no mustard, just dry dry. The sandwich was accompanied by a tasteless unseasoned cole slaw. The best thing on the plate was the pickle!

It's the height of chutzpah to call yourself a New York Deli. There are lots of Jewish people who know what food tastes like in an actual New York Deli, and some of them, such as myself, come to Santa Fe on vacation.

Normally, when I go to a new locale, I try to sample the local foods in locally owned restaurants. But we just got to our time share after a long flight. We were tired, and the other couple we were with recommended the New York Deli so we went. They were still open. They close at three, but we got there at two.

I had the sampler salad. My wife had the turkey melt sandwich without the bread, and the other couple split a corned beef sandwich and a matzoh ball soup.

My sampler salad had chopped chicken liver, very good, and whitefish salad, too salty and not enough actual whitefish in the mix.

My wife enjoyed her turkey melt. Her entree came with extremely thin cut fries that were very good.

I didn't taste the matzoh ball soup, but I was not impressed with the size of the matzoh ball.

The corned beef sandwich was certainly big enough to share. I didn't taste it so I am unable to judge the taste.
