River Cafe is a hidden gem with the best Momos in Santa Cruz. The beef Momo dumplings are a must-try, served with a spicy red sauce and a side salad with lemon dressing. The owner, who also makes the dumplings, creates a relaxed and lively atmosphere, making customers feel at home. The delicate pastry and flavorful beef filling will leave guests full and happy. The small menu is well executed, featuring items like the vegetarian soup, which is noted for its clean yet flavorful broth, fresh veggies, and robust chili sauce. The friendly staff and casual vibe make it a perfect spot for a quick lunch break or to set up a laptop and work. Whether sitting inside or outdoors, River Cafe is dog friendly and impresses with its delicious food, including the Grilled Veggie Panini, and excellent service. The place is charming and provides a delightful experience for all who visit.
