The Martinez Cafe

I had the Chile Rellaco with green Chile. Amd the woman gave me a side of red Chile to test it out. The plate was amazing and the red Chile is tasty and spicy. The service was great and I appreciate the hospitality! Thank you Martinez Cafe!

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

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).

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!

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!

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!!!

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!

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!

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.

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.

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 .

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!

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!

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.

Cozy and delicious. Simple menu but lots of flavor. I especially liked how they don't use tons of cheese on their Mexican dishes. I had the Mexican style breakfast. Service was quick and super friendly.

I love their no cell phone rule.

The eggs were cooked to absolute perfection, along with the cranberry hot cake. Really good food you won't be able to get at IHOP or Denny's. Highly recommend. Cool atmosphere, kinda small so expect a wrist time if you have a big group or go at a busy time.

Wonderful breakfast place. One waitress, two awesome ladies cranking out homemade breakfast in the back, and a 15 person seating capacity. This is not a "the customer is always right" kind of place.

Be patient, put away your phone, enjoy the art and you'll have a wonderful time.

This place is a hidden gem! The food is always fantastic and the artsy but cultural ambiance is very nice. Know that the dining room is fairly small so larger groups may be tricky to accommodate. Protip: Silence your cellphones and/or young children if you choose to dine here.

Excellent place to eat! Great tasting food, portion sizes, friendly customer service (Lindsey) is a great waitress, overall one of the best Mexican restaurants to eat at in Pueblo. I have been a loyal customer for about two years and the food quality is always the same - fresh, delicious, and filling! Other reviews are correct, there is a "no cell phone" rule which I think is no problem, all they ask is that you do not have your phone ringing disturbing other customers, and do not talk on the phone while in the restaurant (step outside and take your call). This is a small venue so if you have customers talking on their phones or loitering, they can be serving other customers since they are busy from open to close. :)

Great food & great service, always! One of my favorite places of all time. Highly recommend! Also love the no cell phone rule! Such a peaceful atmosphere.
