Best food for the price in Grants. The restaurant is updated and the staff is always friendly. I love the sopapillas with guacamole and green chile.

What a amazing experience. My wife and I were traveling through, and I looked up good places for breakfast. This place is beyond excellent. The food is fresh, and this is what a taste of the southwest should be. Prices were excellent. Food was excellent. But without a doubt the service there was so above and beyond. Our server was a lady named Debbie. Very sweet and amazing person.

One of my new favorite places. Great New Mexican diner food at a great price. Lovely service. If you’re on I-40 or wanting to take an old Route 66 road-trip, you should really check this place out (and get a sweet roll). I was impressed by how fluffy and crispy the chile relleno was.

We enjoyed our meal and felt the service was very good. Our server recommended the chilles rellenos platter which was very good, my husband chose the chicken special. The sopapillas were excellent.

It’s so sad that we do not make it to Grants, New Mexico often enough. Every time we go we do our best to eat at this wonderful New Mexican restaurant. Everything is delicious here. Their beef tacos are amazing. The chile rellenos are one of the best we’ve ever tasted. The green and the red chile, and the salsa are wonderful. We really recommend this establishment.

Stopped on a looooong road trip from WI to AZ. Food was homemade, plentiful, and welcome. Deceptively low prices for the amount and quality of food. Kind staff and a great value. Well worth the small detour from the highway.

I was traveling from Minnesota to Phoenix for a motorcycle ride in the hills back in April . I wanted a good authentic Mexican meal and this little place had some of the best food I’ve had in a long time. Great food friendly staff that cared to visit and give great service. Wonderful busy place I’d definitely go out of my way to eat at again. Thanks so much!!

Wow! Just wow – we tried this place on a recommendation from some friends and they were dead on! El Cafecito is amazing. Very simple menu but the flavors! Started with teezer nachos, the queso on it was spicy and fantastic. I had beef, bean and guacamole sopapilla covered in green chile sauce also had a beef chimichanga with guacamole with green Chile sauce both of these items were delicious! The real surprise was desert. Basically a sopapilla stuffed with home made cherry pie filling rolled up like a chimi and deep fried, served with vanilla ice cream (icecream was $1 extra) They also offered peach and apple filling and when I go back will sample the others as well and will update my review! When we were departing and paying up front they had the biggest cinnamon rolls I’ve ever seen and also turnovers with the same fillings described above! If you’re any where close to this place you should stop by, you will NOT be disappointed!
I am posting a pic of my plate – it’s messy because I took a bite before the photo…
I went back through here yesterday – 21Apr2023 – had breakfast. Larry’s special with green chile sauce – plus an order of French toast. Larry’s special was awesome the French toast was basic, but good. I bought a cinnamon roll to go and heated it up later with some butter as recommended by the staff and it was delicious. I’d recommend this place for any meal!
Relocating to NM and on a house hunting trip…revisited on 7-24-2024. Herb took care of us and the food is as good as ever. On Herb’s recommendation I got 2 hotdogs 1 with green Chile the other with red Chile and had Chile cheese fries. I didn’t go to eat hot dogs, but they were AWESOME. Also had a Chile relleno with green Chile, it was excellent as well. GF had stuffed sopapilla and really enjoyed that. I love this place!!! Photos below.

Very reasonable prices. Nice atmosphere. No chips and salsa which was unusual. Food came out fast once we ordered. Had the taco plate, tacos were decent as were the beans. I was not a fan of the rice, it was soupy and tomato sauce based, tasted like spaghetti-o’s to me; my husband liked it though. He had the chimi plate w/green chile and said it was quite good. I tasted the sauce and it had a good kick to it. We also got a cheese enchilada and cheese crisp to sample. The red enchilada was fine but the sauce lacked some flavor and depth. The cheese crisp was tasty but unexpected, it was like a cross between a cheese crisp and a sopapilla or fry bread. Left full with some leftovers and a bill of only $24 including tax, before tip.
