   The buffet dinner (which we were not aware of) was underwhelming.

   The variety of options for Sat/Sunday brunch are quite nice! Very tasty, nice presentation and great service. We sat on the patio n for a bit and then inside. Great views outside and nice ambience inside. I was last here 15 years ago and the property is well maintained and a beautiful blend of New Mexican with some modern touches. Great blend of traditional and new. We will return sooner than 15 years!

   Beautiful restaurant. We went to have dinner, but the lighting was more appropriate for breakfast or lunch. Atmosphere felt a bit sterile. Quality food, but a bit expensive for what we received. It's probably better to return here for lunch during the warmer months, and sit on the patio. Servers were very friendly and accommodating!

   We had an amazing time celebrating Christmas Eve at Santa Ana Cafe. The food was amazing and the ambiance throughout was beautiful and so festive. It was a wonderful time as a family!! Merry Christmas to all…

   Three of us had lunch in the Santa Ana Café. The location and the ambience are excellent. Food was very good. One friend had two chili Rellenos and a cup of the green chili stew both of which she thoroughly enjoyed. Myself and our other friend both had the Santa Fe omelette. She added mushrooms. I added mushrooms and spinach. We were busy talking and not paying attention and the server did not ask for clarification … she ended up getting mine with the spinach and I ended getting hers without the spinach. We were both into them before we realized the error. Our waiter, Will, was excellent! The young man who served the plates pleasant and helpful, but that’s an error that should not have happened. For this reason I give four stars. We also had the green chili apple pie for dessert. Very tasty but disappointing as I said to Will, if I didn’t know there was green chili in there I wouldn’t know. Barely barely just a hint any less and there would be nothing so definitely did not qualify in my mind as a green chili apple pie. It was just apple pie. but, as I said, it was delicious, if a very small for the price ($10).

   This is a delightful place for any of the day's three meals, whether sitting inside or in the large covered and screened outdoor patio. Nice selections on the menu and service is attentive. We live in nearby Placitas and find this to be one of the nicer places to eat in the Placitas, Bernalillo and Rio Rancho area. After your meal, you can take a walk along the Rio Grande River where, in the fall, the cottonwood colors are spectacular.

   The food was exceptional. We had the salmon and burrito. Both were cooked well and very flavorful. We had Pupusas for appetizers. We never had them before but we will again. We ate on the patio which was quiet and peaceful. We forget how nice this place is. We will be back sooner rather than later.

   We were so lucky to have chosen the Santa Ana Cafe for a dinner before we attended the rodeo at the Tamaya Stables. It was fantastic because they were serving a buffet that night and what a delicious and delightful time! We loved it! The food was wonderful and the variety on the buffet was amazing!

    Dinner was delicious 😋, Joe our server was awesome and on point with his recommendations. The appetizer papusas which consisted of 3 corn fritters filled with amazingly smooth cheese, was set next to succulent pork and topped with pickled veggies. YUM! our burrito and rellenos were also VERY good!!!!
