Plaza Café Southside is owned by a branch of the Razatos Family, owners of the iconic Plaza Café, a downtown fixture since 1905. The 'upscale regional diner' opened is located across from Regal Cinema Stadium 14 off Zeferano Drive. Comfort food is on the menu three meals a day. It might be as simple as a grilled cheese sandwich or a heaping plate of nachos. If you want something more filling, order one of their Platos Nativos (native platters featuring New Mexican and Mexican food) or a Greek favorite. Try one of their daily Blue Plate Specials which include meatloaf and fried chicken both served with mashed potatoes and gravy. Chicken fried steak served with country gravy or fish and chips served with a habañero tartar sauce and black chile oil (jalapeno-infused malt vinegar) are always on the menu. For dessert: try Warm Caramel Apple Pie ala mode.

- Homestyle: "While the traditional homestyle food items are on the lunch and dinner menu, breakfast offers comfort food, too. Try the house-baked biscuits and gravy, chicken fried steak and eggs or one of the Platos Nativos such as a smothered burrito (try the green chile) or Huevos Rancheros."
- Best for Homestyle Because: Plaza Southside Café is a must on any Santa Fe comfort food list. They are in the American diner tradition with a New Mexican twist
