The Owl Café has been around since 1986 and I have lived here since 1990. Another gem that I have somehow missed out on all these years. I would have loved to go in to eat but I am not yet comfortable eating out and going into establishments. Once I am vaccinated against COVID … I will be ok with going out to eat again.

I called in the order and a very nice young woman brought it out to the car. Service was great and the people I dealt with were very friendly.

The Albuquerque Patty Melt

Green chili gives this classic melt a southwestern spin, with Swiss cheese & grilled onions on grilled rye!

The Green Chile was DELICIOUSLY HOT and the burger cooked perfect. Only thing missing was an ice cold beer to accompany it.

Tuna Melt

Tuna salad & swiss on grilled rye.

Not sure what they put in the tuna here but it was really tasty and the crunch on the grilled rye was perfect! .

San Antonio Chocolate Cake

Double chocolate cake with fudge icing and walnuts.

They did not have much in the way of desserts left but they did have this one piece of cake. It was soooo good. The icing …. Chocolate FUDGE …. OMG.


I also tried the chocolate shake and that was so good it didn’t make it home to have it’s photo taken. It was made with real ice cream so it thick, creamy and super chocolaty. Not to mention topped with whipped cream.

Very pleased with my lunch from The Owl Café and I am looking forward to going back and trying some of the other things on their menu.
