Like the reviewer on Oct. 28, our car was also broken into in the Tecolote parking lot. When the police officer arrived to fill out the report, she also told us that it's a regular occurrence there. I understand Tecolote can't be held entirely responsible for what people do in their parking lot, but as the Oct. 28th reviewer pointed... more

We chose this restaurant due to location as well as being a Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives place from the Food Network. 6 of us ate breakfast here and all of it was very good with really great service. It was a busy place on Saturday but mid-morning easy enough to get a table. The coffee was very good, real cream... more

Like many before us, we visited the Tecolote Cafe after seeing it featured on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives. After a relatively short wait (around 10:30 am), we were seated and greeted by our fabulous and extremely personable waiter. Three of us ordered the Atolé Piñon (blue corn & pine nut) pancakes and the fourth had El Corazón Contento with Egg... more

This is the type of breakfast place I like; friendly staff, don't feel hurried, can enjoy your coffee and newspaper. Can't remember the name of what I ate but it had that great chile flavor with black beans, eggs, and bananas with a brown sugary coat. Be a wise owl and give this one a try. more

We had brunch at Tecolote in October after attending the Albuquerque Balloon Festival. After waiting 20 minutes for a table , we had an average quality southwestern brunch. The worst part of our experience was that our car was broken into and 3 very expensive cameras with all our beautiful pictures of the festival were taken while we were in... more

Had the roast pork breakfast burrito 'christmas' style. It was excellent. The green chile sauce was better than the red. It came with these amazing hashbrowns. The wait staff was plentiful and helpful. Wish I had time to eat other meals here. more

My husband and I played tourist last week (I took a day off from work) and started our day at Tecolote Cafe. Prompt service when we walked in and coffee appeared almost as we sat down! I did not feel like eggs so asked for a potato Breakfast Burrito with ham with both green and red chile (Christmas). My husband... more

We ate here twice in four days in Santa Fe. We had a 10-minute wait the first day and a 20-minute wait the second day, both exactly in line with what the cashier estimated for our wait times. The first day, my wife had an Eggs Florentine special and I had the Sheepherder's Breakfast. My wife decided the eggs were... more

A local favorite, shown on Food Network’s Diners, drive-in and Dives, serves breakfast and lunch only. We went here for breakfast and arrived at about 9:50 and told there would be a ten minute wait. Just after we arrived, about six different groups showed up and the waiting area was packed. True to their word, we were seated in about... more
