I recently had the opportunity to stop by the Santa Fe Café. What an incredibly hidden treasure this was. I went ahead and ordered the lunch quesadilla special with the Santa Fe salad and the painted dessert soup.

What is the painted dessert soup you ask? It is a corn and red pepper soups with an Ancho Chile cream sauce. They take the combination of the corn and red pepper soup and make it into a ying yang sign that when turned sideways makes a red sky and a golden dessert. Then to top it off they drizzle a little sour cream in the form of a cactus and garnish with some cilantro. Not only does it look amazing but also it tastes absolutely delicious.

They also have an upstairs “Cantina” which is the roof top bar. With heaters around the bar and the tables it makes for a wonderful night of drinking and socializing while staying warm but also being able to sit back and just take a look at the stars in front of the roof top fireplace.

I give Santa Fe Café two thumbs all the way up to the cantina.
