Not dog friendly, super small in there- walk up and order. Saw other reviews about pastries, there was not a vast selection.

Great food and a great atmosphere, however we waited about an hour for our food and there were not too many people at the restaurant. Note that the menu does have limited options for breakfast. My honest review and I'm just trying to help the owner of this establishment here, it could of been a 5 star of 5, your food was amazing and delicious it's really top quality and good price. The problem was the waiter guy we got he probably was not focused and distracted, I had to get up and fold my own silverware when we received our food 45 min later, he coughed in my face and in front of the silverware without covering his mouth or apologizing. He did not check on us if everything came out good or if we needed anything, he gave the roundabout their menu to everyone except us , plates came in faster for other customers who arrived way later than us. Excellent food and beautiful little cafe just your man with a black hat and black shirt did not deliver on their service 2/25/2024 came in at 11:00 am. Food and ambience is 10 of 10 for sure, just your employee drove it down for us.

I love this place! Coffee, food and smoothies are all great! I'm so happy I found this gem in Ruidoso. The fiesta bowl hit the spot for lunch. We also got smoothie bowls and a homemade pop tart that was amazing. The coffee was delicious.

Best breakfast in town, and honestly it isn't close. Coffee is great, hot food is great, and the cronuts are phenomenal.

My experience at Casitas Cafe was truly exceptional. From the moment I walked in, I was captivated by the unique food choices that surpassed the usual run-of-the-mill offerings found elsewhere. Each dish boasted excellent flavor combinations, demonstrating a level of culinary creativity and skill that is hard to come by.What truly elevated my dining experience was the friendly and helpful service provided by the staff. They were attentive, accommodating, and eager to ensure that my meal was nothing short of perfect.As for the food itself, every bite was a delight to the senses. From the first taste to the last, I savored each dish, appreciating the thought and care that went into crafting such delicious fare.Needless to say, I left Casitas Cafe already planning my next visit, eager to explore more of their tantalizing menu. If you're in search of a dining experience that goes above and beyond the ordinary, I wholeheartedly recommend giving Casitas Cafe a try. You won't be disappointed.

This place was an amazing find. One of the more higher quality food options in town. Everything they serve is 10/10.
What a delightful find in Ruidoso, NM! We wanted something healthy and fresh and this cute cafe exceeded our expectations. The couple who opened Casitas a year ago are so kind and helpful. We ate there twice on our vacation. The southwestern burrito was so flavorful! All the pastries can be addicting especially the homemade pop tarts. Where can you get an acai bowl for $8?? Not where we are from! My littles loved the unicorn hot chocolate and the gold rush was ordered several times I also bought two artesian sourdough loaves and I'm eating one now! So good! This place will be SUPER busy once everyone knows about it. I would recommend having more than one menu as many people were entering and had to share. I think it would be helpful to have pictures posted next to the menu descriptions. If you don't look at yelp or IG you wouldn't know what you were ordering and you MIGHT miss out! We can't wait to return!
Seriously, it's one of the best places I've eaten. The Breakfast Bano was savory, the Acai bowl was scrumptious, the venue is quaint and the owner/chef was genuinely kind. If I lived here, I would be a regular, no doubt.

Great people, great food and awesome environment! I'm a local and love this spot.I highly recommend the Cubano breakfast sandwich!I wish there was a way to order to-go easily online or phone.
I am so happy that I found this place, basically in the middle of nowhere! I feel like it's the best cafe in Ruidoso with the best coffee that isn't inferior to coffee shops in big cities. The variety of unique flavors is impressive, not just the basic caramel latte. I definitely recommend trying their Abuelita Mocha with the homemade dark chocolate ganache with cayenne pepper. But the coffee itself is very delicious - we finished their 9-cup card in like three days. Casitas is a perfect place for breakfast and lunch. We tried the Cubano Burrito, which was pretty good with the dominant taste of scrambled eggs. The Southwestern Avocado toast was not my cup of tea (not salty and with a lot of spices). The absolute love is the Breakfast Bano with smoked pulled pork - an explosion of flavor with a perfect balance. If you're on a sweet breakfast team, the açai bowl is delicious as well. I am always searching for pastries on all my trips, and here I found the most high-end pastries possible for Ruidoso. The Nutella housemade pop tart, the cheese danish, and the eclair with vanilla cream filling and matcha cream and raspberries on top - all were incredibly tasty! What I see as an area for improvement is the serving speed. It seems like they have a limited staff, so it takes them quite a while to accept and accomplish your order. And I think they should serve a bottle of water or have a water tank so you can get it yourself. I wish all the best to the Casitas and hope they grow their wonderful business

My daughters and I enjoyed a Green Machine smoothie, a Gold Rush latte, and some chocolate meringue treats :) I'm looking forward to going back for a delicious looking cheeseburger I saw being served to tables around us. Very friendly service!
Very very good, the place was very clean, the staff was very nice, and the food was AMAZING!
