I enjoyed the soup and cobb salad. The fried bread wasn't bad but I've had better. The atmosphere is like fine dining but the prices are very reasonable and more than worth it. The salad portion is for two meals and I ended up taking my salad to go and having it for dinner.

The restaurant after the Heard Museum. Posole has brought me back to my Mom’s kitchen. It’s unbelievable delicious. Sandwich just ok. It could be better if contains from homemade products.

Today our chicken lime soup was good. Sadly the fry bread was Not fresh and when I was offered another I believe the manager Melissa returned the same bread to us because on the bottom were the two pieces with the bites in them.that was very nasty to do.

A delicious surprise! Visiting the Museum for the first time, we stumbled onto the Cafe. The menu has delicious options, and each entree we tried was a huge success. Best Birria beef tacos, ever! We'll be bringing future visitors for sure.

Seriously, the portions were huge and the prices are extremely reasonable. I had their amazing shrimp ceviche and it was AWESOME--and I tried their 3 pot soup and it was extremely tasty, too. I noticed people getting the chicken salad sandwich and it was the size of Manhattan!! SOOOO...Don't walk, run their and be sure to make your lunch reservations!!!

After visiting the museum we were starving and decided to eat at the Cafe once we noticed there were some authentic dishes on the menu. We were seated immediately outside and ordered Prickly Pear Lemonade. We then started with the hummus and fry bread since I always order fry bread anytime I can. So yummy and delicious. Our party each ordered different things and enjoyed our food. Definitely worth visiting while at the museum.

Quaint restaurant in gorgeous location. The ambiance is very calm and relaxing. Their Prickly pear drink hits all the spots. I love the themed cups. The posole was very delicious. As well as the service. We were treated very well and were timely. I would absolutely visit this cafe again.

My husband and I ordered the Best street tacos. The taco shells were the most flavorful I have ever experienced. The shrimp was fantastic and the veggies were perfect. We were given two tacos. The fresh greens with tomato and roasted pepitas were perfect. The salsa and the dressing for the salad made my taste buds sing. We ended with a brownie with vanilla ice cream. My husband had a beer and I had pink lemonade. We were so happy.

Great prices, great food and service. The atmosphere is BEAUTIFUL, we sat outside in the courtyard but it was hot and no misters so we sweated as we ate. I'll be back!

My husband and I took a lunch break at the museum to enjoy the cafe. He had the roast beef sandwich, I had the grilled cheese. His was definitely the better of the two, next time I plan to try the posole. Service was prompt, didn’t have to wait very long for our food.

We were so pleasantly surprised by the food at the Heard Museum cafe! Normally museum cafes are expensive and meh, not so here. The stand out dish was the Thai beef noodle salad! We also had the chicken salad on croissant and that also had great flavor. The cafe also serves beer, wine and cocktails. The cafe does have some local foods to try - we’ll do that next time! Just kidding, you know I’ll order the Thai beef salad again. ?We did have a local white blend wine (I think from Provisioner?) that was refreshing and perfect for a patio lunch. Eat early so you can sit outside!

Ambiance is wonderful! I had read about the Pozole soup being amazing but it sure wasn't! It was served Luke warm no avocado, just fair. Turkey sandwich with Brie said it was sourdough but it's actually sandwich bread. Guacamole was delicious! Fry bread and bean dip was also tasty. Nice stop after seeing the museum. Cerviche was very good!
