The Martinez Cafe: Reviews & Ratings
This is take out since Covid but before had a charming chill atmosphere with no Cell phone use which was enforced. Incredible breakfast, eggs and chili were amazing!
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
Simply amazing!! We order breakfast tacos frequently and every time they are absolutely delicious!! The staff are so nice and send us thank you notes. The food is always hot even if delivered and fresh! My daughter and I agree that this is the BEST food anywhere ever! If you haven’t tried this restaurant you are missing out!! This is home style cooking at its finest!! Love this place and their staff!
Amazing homemade food, with excellent service. Takeout only! My favorite so far is the chorizo breakfast burrito smothered in chile. Everything here is made from scratch!
I'm a Dasher and there was a mis communication between dashers. I got the opportunity to try their food. It was delicious ladies. Thank you so much my family will be ordering breakfast from ya'll. Best homecooked breakfast I've had in a long time from any restaurant. If it was possible I'd get them 10 stars instead of 5. Very friendly sisters who are there. People you have got to try them. You will not be disappointed. Thank you again
Amazing people work here currently and they are lovely to talk to. They make amazing food and the restaurant is beautiful to look around while waiting for food. And some items, like art paintings and art sculptures have price tags for purchasing! Genuinly a beautiful place
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).
The Martinez Cafe is the best little hidden gem of Pueblo, CO. The food reminds me of my late grandmother's cooking. The services was impeccable with the atmosphere of an authentic mexican-american home kitchen. I suggest that everyone come to The Martinez Cafe for breakfast and lunch. You will be truly surprised!!
