No Heavy Metals

There are no heavy metal by-products produced when Cheap and Easy creates its crowd-pleasing retro-eclectic sound, so you are going to be completely safe this Friday, July 6, from 6 to 8 pm. After that time, you're on your own health-wise.

We can't do anything to stop the heat, but the Placitas Cafe has the perfect solution to weather these high temperatures.

Did We Mention the Outdoor Seating?

Okay, it's clear that most people come to the Placitas Cafe for the food and the entertainment, but it's easy to forget what a fantastic view there is right outside our front door. And then there's the outdoor seating area where you can enjoy that great Sandia view and keep your pooch company as well. The sculpture? That's the shaman and don't get me started on how that ended up there...except to say that any friend of the shaman is a friend of mine.

Come on out and enjoy the view while you devour a great breakfast, lunch or dinner. And remember, you'll always have a friend at the Placitas Cafe -- that's just how we roll.

It's a busy week for entertainment at the Cafe...The Casualz will be taking requests as they always do on Tuesday nite, March 13 from 6 - 8 pm.
