Having worked in the travel and hospitality industry for over 30 years, my consulting firm regularly prepares hotel & restaurant top 10 lists for clients around the world. I have lived in Pueblo now for more than 5 years and a week does not go by when someone asks me where the best food is in Pueblo. I quickly ask a few questions to narrow their focus and then offer my suggestions. The one establishment that always makes the top of my Pueblo-style breakfast list is the Martinez Cafe. In particular 'The Polk' is perhaps the most quintessential Pueblo dish with layers of flavors and textures and topped of with both red and green Pueblo chile sauce. Need I say more? The menu is extensive, the staff is extremely friendly and efficient and I love the local art accents throughout the restaurant, including Pueblo's most luxurious bathroom complete with a sitting area and local art...don't miss Daniel Luna's colorful torso next to the window. There is ample parking and if you should have to wait, enjoy the hallway and watch local Pueblo in action. If you want a taste of Pueblo, be sure to try Martinez Cafe on Polk Street. GH

My family used to come to the location on Sante Fe for years dating back to my grandparents in the 80's. Won't come back over phone policy. It's no different than reading a paper. It's 2021, phones are a necessity and honestly who cares if I'm looking at my phone not bothering anybody. Good food though to be honest but the phone policy is a killer for me. Also they need to learn phones are a good thing for businesses. People can see where others are eating and tend to ask like is it good? Should we try it? I bet a newspaper is ok 😅

Our favorite Mexican restaurant in P-town! It's tiny (5 tables & 4 bar stools) but spotlessly clean with local art on the wall and a fantastic cook. Their special smothered burrito with both red & green chili is not to be missed (huge--2 can split it).

This Merchant is an absolute Joy. We even take a few lower paying orders just because we enjoy stopping in. The food is usually ready to go within a couple of minutes. The artwork and decorations are amazing. We definitely recommend working with this Merchant and we definitely recommend placing delivery orders .

Cute spot to know about our come across!! The service is quick at the rug time of day. SUPER nice people and very welcoming and happy. I would have a little less beans in the burrito, but that's no reason to give any less than this 5- star rating.

I had just ordered normally have no issues I paid with my credit card over the phone they wrote it down on a paper with all of the information on it and placed it on the bag where anyone could see it. I'm not saying they are trying to steal from us but be safe that's not ok I don't know who seen my credit card info now ima have to be on gaurd. To be clear they are nice people and the food is delicious and this hasn't happened before.

After driving past for several years I stopped in at a friend's suggestion for lunch. It 2as take-out only. I really enjoyed the smothered burrito I ordered. Their green chili is really good, and spicy!

I had never eaten at this place until today. I have always just picked up food to deliver as a dasher. Mrs. Martinez is so nice. 1 time she gave me a sample of chorizo, potatoes and red Chile in a little pc cup just to try. I was hooked. Tried to take my brother there to eat inside. But it's all take out only at the time. I had chorizo enchilada Christmas style (half red, half green Chile. Refried beans, and potatoes. OMG. The bomb. I highly recommend to try!!! Very good food!!!

Carolyn and Laura Martinez are local icons and The Martinez Cafe is an iconic, restaurant steeped in Pueblo lore. The food is beyond amazing; as delicious as I remember it from my childhood when they were located on Santa Fe Ave. Everything is prepared meticulously, looks amazing when presented and TASTES as great as you remembered! If you're craving a true Taste of Pueblo, look no further!

This is the 3rd local place that we've tried to dinner in for breakfast. None of the local restaurants seem to update their business listing or website--with their actual hours or that they're still only offering take out. I'm flabbergasted! Instead of spreading our patronage, well go right back to the Pantry for breakfast--they're dine in and offer breakfast all day.

The Green Chile is pretty darn good. I got it with the cheese enchiladas. They are only open for takeout or Doordash.

The Phoenix burrito in my opinion is hands down the best burrito in all of Pueblo Colorado. When ordered on DoorDash The order is always packed with care and they are very diligent in making sure all your items are sent out. Rumor has it. They will be on GrubHub soon as well as DoorDash. Can't wait!

Love their food! They included hot cakes and omg they are delicious! Our #1 Mexican food spot Bojon approved

Coffee was wonderful and the breakfast special with the cheese enchilada was AMAZING. Our server was friendly and very efficient. It’s a tiny place & we appreciated the no phones / control your kids atmosphere. A wonderful meal & quiet conversation was a perfect morning date with my husband. Thank you!

Great food, Greta people. This is the way to eat. Food was great. The sisters are very friendly and down to earth good conversation. Brings me back to the good ole days!

A little hidden gem in Mesa Junction. In the past we would walk over and dine in, since they have transitioned to only carry out we hadn't ordered until today. Called our order in and it was hot and ready in 15 minutes. Price was reasonable. Food was just as good as dine in. Will return!

Delicious Mexican food and fabulous customer service. First time going and would definitely go again. I do wish you could dine in but with covid restrictions and how small and busy the Cafe gets it's understandable. Green Chili is beyond expectations and the right amount of spice.

The food was excellent the owner and her sister were very nice. Will definitely be getting food here more often

Simply amazing homestyle cooking served up by very friendly folks. It's all good, but I especially loved the apple hot cake. It came with syrup but was so delicious I didn't need any, first time I've eaten a pancake without syrup lol.
