" Plaza Cafe Southside exceeded my expectations! The carne adovada was rich and flavorful, and I appreciated how the staff took the time to discuss the menu's authenticity with us. The ambiance felt homely and full of charm, and I can't recommend this restaurant enough. They truly represent New Mexican cuisine well! " (*Curated Review*)

" An excellent place to try authentic New Mexican food. I ordered the tamales, and they were flavorful, though I found the beef a little tough. The atmosphere was lively, and I enjoyed my experience overall. Would come back for another try. " (*Curated Review*)

" Certainly one of the top spots in Santa Fe for New Mexican cuisine! I had a delightful corn chowder that was hearty and well-seasoned. The staff offered great service, paying attention to every detail from drinks to dessert. Enjoyed dining on the patio with a beautiful view! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a wonderful experience at Plaza Cafe! The food was delicious, exactly what you want from a diner-style cafe. I ordered the blue corn enchiladas, and they were simply delightful! The service was prompt and very attentive. The atmosphere had a lovely, cozy vibe, perfect for a weekend brunch. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the breakfast burrito, and while it was decent, I didn't find it as authentic as others suggested. The service was fine but felt a bit underwhelming. The restaurant was quite busy, which could have affected the experience. There are plenty of better options in the city, but if you're nearby, it's okay to stop by. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing so many good things about Plaza Cafe, I expected a lot. The service was excellent, but my meal didn’t live up to the hype. The flavors were mild compared to what I anticipated. I might return for the atmosphere but feel a bit let down by the food. " (*Curated Review*)

" What caught my eye was the unique New Mexican decor and vibrant atmosphere. The service was prompt, and the food served was fresh and homely. We ordered the breakfast special and enjoyed it thoroughly. This cafe truly captures the spirit of Santa Fe dining! " (*Curated Review*)
