Café Castro

Nice, family run place with exceptional food. Service was friendly and attentive, and my partner got to practice his Spanish. We ordered a variety of items: the green chile cheeseburger on a sopaipilla, a side of posole (Christmas), a pork tamal, chicken enchilada, and chile relleno, and the green chile pork stew. The star of the table was the one thing I didn't get a picture of: the green chile stew! Meltingly tender pork and potatoes were delicious and the chile flavor was yummy. My next favorite was the tamal, which had quite a bit of meat in it. I preferred it with the green chile, but my partner preferred the red chile. The posole was probably my third favorite, with fluffy hominy and great texture. Really, there wasn't a bad plate or bowl on the table. I wasn't expecting much when I entered, but I would definitely return.

lunch at my usual and tried the pork tamale for the first time. WAY too hot for me! also their beer and wine license has expired and will not be renewed until february 2025

I can't say enough amazing things about Cafe Castro! Came to NM on vacation and this was our first meal - Boy, this set the bar high!We got some local beers, chile relleno, enchilada plate, side taco and complimentary sopapillos (I believe that's the correct name, ha!)Hands down the BEST Chile relleno I've ever had. WOW. The green sauce was amazing.Every person working was soo incredible. Everyone was so nice and hospitable. The restaurant is so cute, with such a great aesthetic and some beautiful art!Wish I could eat here again!!10/10

We were in Santa fe and Cafe Castro came highly recommended and I would say it did not disappoint.The restaurant is clean and family owned and run.Staff is very helpful and service was prompt.Food is priced very reasonably and made to order.Everything we tried was delicious, highly recommend to try stuffed Soppapia and red chill quesadilla.I highly recommend it and we shall come again when in NM.

As part of my AI generated #restaurantreviews we dined at @cafecastrosf and I chose this location out of several options because it's a family business. I opted for a chicken #quesadilla this time, as they didn't serve fajitas that night. Dinner sized, I ate 3 slices and my husband enjoyed the last one so we didn't have to take home leftovers, as well as his burrito. The service was great, food was delicious (they even make their own chips in house!), and the setting was cozy. I ordered the guacamole expecting a small bowl, but received this small ketchup container (it was $5) (I do understand the economy and inflation though!). This is one we'll come back to again. 4/5 . #gourmetrecovery #supportsmallbusiness #familybusiness #smallbusiness

Another great dining experience! Great service, food and price. Had the Wednesday vlue corn enchiladas special.

Food was good, the last time I was here I think the food was better.Service was okay.Food came pretty fast. I was in and out in thirty minutes.

A great place for groups or parties. Castor's has lots of space to host big tables. We had 8 in our group and we didn't feel rushed at all. All the food came out in a reasonable time and piping hot. A cheap and yummy meal all around.

Traveling through Santa Fe, staying one night. Checked Yelp for restaurants nearby the Coyote South hotel and Cafe Castro's name came up. Looked like good, family fare. We ordered online a Combo Plate and a Carne Adovada, a few extra tortillas, chips and Queso and 2 flan. I wish I had taken pictures before eating but we hadn't had lunch so we're extra hungry. We were not disappointed. The beef taco was crisp and had the right amount of spice in the beef filling. The cheese enchilada was perfect with the green chili sauce. Rice and beans were tasty. Queso wasn't what I was expecting but it was pretty tasty too. The Carnes Adovado was spicy hot but in a slow burn kind of way. Very delicious and satisfying. I haven't had posole in forever so it was a tasty reminder of how nice it can be. We haven't made it to the flan yet. I'll update when we get to dessert.

Just good Mexican food at very reasonable prices with friendly service. Big dining room and alcohol available. Not much else to say. Yum!
