This little out-of-the-way cafe is known for its cozy digs, which feature a supremely Southwestern feel.
Lars Ulrik Wacher Hansen/Google Saltillo tiles, wooden tables and chairs, and the adobe building all evoke the right amount of the rustic charm of a ranching lifestyle.
In fact, you get a taste of this pastoral world before you even walk in the door.
CarlFrog/TripAdvisor The feed store portion of the business sells animal feed and hardware and is home to a group of wandering peacocks. You might spot other animals—like chickens and geese—during a breakfast stop here.
But the restaurant’s hearty meals are what keep people coming back to this hidden gem.

The Mexican and New Mexican breakfast options reign here, with breakfast burritos covered in hot chile, huevos rancheros served with filling portions of eggs, beans, and potatoes, and green chile stew served with a hot tortilla.

Or, if you’re craving a more traditional American breakfast, San Marcos Cafe has you covered.
Eric Luchetti/Google The restaurant features tasty dishes like eggs benedict, cheese blintzes, and even a heaping serving of biscuits and gravy.
Even sweet treats, like the cafe’s cinnamon rolls, are huge!
Rogersober/TripAdvisor Each roll is about the size of a salad plate and could easily be split between several people for an early morning sugar rush. Each one is flakey and just the right level of sweet and sticky.
The San Marcos Cafe and Feed Store is located just south of Santa Fe via Interstate 25 and State Road 14.
