Anthony’s Soul Cafe in Santa Fe<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I couldn’t help but ask Anthony Moore “Don’t you eat your own food<\/em>?”\u00a0 Anthony is the lean and lanky owner of the eponymous Anthony’s Soul Cafe in Santa Fe.\u00a0 He explained that during a typical day he gets in some 12,000 steps (five to six miles) at his restaurant.\u00a0 That, he claims, is the reason he doesn’t weigh four-hundred pounds. The peripatetic Anthony jokes that his role as owner also includes dish-washer, greeter, host, waiter, chef and whatever else is required during the day.\u00a0 It’s not that he doesn’t have help.\u00a0 We had expected to see Anthony’s son whom we met during a visit to Anthony’s other venture, Anthony’s Grill<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0 Instead, we were visited several times by Shannon, the\u00a0 general manager, a striking (even gorgeous) young lady.\u00a0 Naturally I praised Anthony for the “upgrade” from his son and suggested that if he wants his restaurant to succeed wildly,\u00a0 he’ll make her the front-and-center presence.<\/p>\n

Anthony Delivers Sweet Tea and Red Kool Aid to our Table<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Anthony’s Soul Cafe opened its doors on 12 August 2026.\u00a0 It sits immediately next door to Anthony’s Grill in the increasingly crowded St. Michael’s\u00a0Village West Shopping Center.\u00a0 Among its neighbors are the Santa Fe Bite<\/strong><\/a> (and believe me, it\u2019s a Herculean challenge not to go there when in the neighborhood).\u00a0 There are several reasons why you know you’re in for something special–even extraordinary–when you visit the Soul Cafe.\u00a0 The first reason is Anthony himself.\u00a0 This is a man who can do no wrong whether it’s cooking some of the best food in Santa Fe to uncommon hospitality.\u00a0 Did I mention his general manager (Ithink I’m in love)?<\/p>\n

The second reason stares you right in the face as you approach the Cafe.\u00a0 A colorful mural on the patio wall depicts a sole (and soul) guitarist playing his guitar beneath the verbiage “Feel the Blues at Anthony’s<\/em>.”\u00a0 Talk about an oxymoron.\u00a0 There’s no way you’ll feel blue when you eat Anthony’s cooking, but you WILL enjoy listening to the blues, whether on the sound system or live when a band is in the house.\u00a0 It goes without saying that the menu is another reason you’ll love Anthony’s.\u00a0 It’s a menu Santa Fe has needed for a long time.\u00a0 We lived in Mississippi for eight years and found Anthony’s cooking even better than much of what we had in the Magnolia State.<\/p>\n

Anthony Moore, the Heart and Soul of Santa Fe’s Soul Cafe<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Despite being a fan of the San Francisco 49ers, the bespectacled Anthony is a great guy, the type of which you’d like to sit down with to watch a football game even if you’re rooting against his team.\u00a0 Anthony is originally from Oklahoma so rightfully he should be a Dallas Cowboys fan like most Sooners are.\u00a0 He’s been in the restaurant business for going on five decades.\u00a0 He’s not classically trained, but learned his craft watching his auntie cook.\u00a0 Anthony’s Soul Cafe serves the food with which he grew up:\u00a0 fried chicken (my Kim’s favorite), fried catfish (my favorite, oxtail and so much more.\u00a0 If you have room for dessert, Southern sweet staples on the menu include sweet potato pie, banana pudding and lemon cake.\u00a0 To wash it all down, Anthony’s serves sweet tea and red Kool-Aid.<\/p>\n

By definition, soul food is the traditional ethnic cuisine of African Americans, originating in the American South during the era of slavery. According to Chef Millie Peartree<\/strong><\/a>, “Trying to differentiate soul food from Southern food shouldn’t be complicated. While not all Southern food is considered soul food, all soul food is definitely Southern<\/em>.”\u00a0 She elaborates further: “The expression “soul food” originated in the mid-1960s, when “soul” was a common word used to describe African-American culture. At its core, soul food is down-home cooking that’s been passed down through many generations, with its roots in the rural South. In 1962, poet and civil rights activist Amiri Baraka published his essay “Soul Food,” an argument against white critics claiming that there was no African American cuisine<\/em>.”<\/p>\n

Music While You Dine<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Ken Carson, founder and owner of Nexus Brewery<\/strong><\/a> does give a nod to New Mexico’s sacrosanct cuisine with his offering of “New Mexican soul food<\/em>.\u201d\u00a0 New Mexican soul food is a combination of Southern and Cajun entrees honoring both the Carson family\u2019s Southern roots and their adopted home\u2019s New Mexican favorites.\u00a0 You won’t find the Land of Enchantment’s sacrosanct green and red chile on Anthony’s menu though you’ve got to believe he’s got the chops to do it well.\u00a0 Let me emphasize again, his preparation of soul food is on par with the best we had in the Deep South.<\/p>\n

It wouldn’t be soul food without fried chicken and fried catfish.\u00a0 At Anthony\u2019s, the\u00a0fried catfish dinner<\/strong><\/em> with two sides is a \u201cGil\u2019s highest recommended\u201d entree.\u00a0 If you\u2019ve never before had great fried catfish, what you can rest assured Anthony\u2019s catfish has all the attributes of truly exceptional catfish.\u00a0 Contrary to some opinion, its flavor is\u00a0 not muddy or gamey.\u00a0 In fact, it\u2019s mildly sweet and just slightly earthy.\u00a0 Its texture is moist, flaky and firm with a crispy, crunchy cornmeal coating.\u00a0 Anthony\u2019s hot sauce goes extremely well with catfish.\u00a0 Anthony told me his restaurant features “the best catfish in the world<\/em>.”\u00a0 Who am I to argue?<\/p>\n

Catfish Dinner With a Piece of Chicken on the Side<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

My Kim loves fried chicken as much as her feline-fish loving husband loves catfish.\u00a0 That means she loves it a lot.\u00a0 There’s a lot to be loved in Anthony’s fried chicken dinner<\/strong><\/em>.\u00a0 Compared to the fried chicken served at many restaurants, Anthony’s isn’t scrawny.\u00a0 The portion size is two pieces, but this pulchritudinous poultry is enough even for trenchermen.\u00a0 The two pieces are a leg and a thigh, both meaty and deliciously breaded. It tastes savory, salty, and rich, featuring a crunchy, heavily seasoned outer crust (that permeates throughout the meat) with warm, tender, and very juicy meat on the inside. While some diners (including my Kim) eschew the crust, others of us say “heart attack be damned; this crust is just too good not to devour<\/em>.”<\/p>\n

Traditional sides include macaroni and cheese, collard greens, black eye peas, fried okra and corn-on-the-cob.\u00a0 That’s one of the reasons a catfish or fried chicken “dinner” are the best buy.\u00a0 You’ll love those those sides.\u00a0 For my Kim, fried okra<\/strong><\/em> is a must.\u00a0 Enrobed in a crunchy, savory and well-seasoned crust, fried okra tastes like a mild, earthy and just a tad green vegetable.\u00a0 My tastes lean more toward red beans and rice<\/strong><\/em>.\u00a0 It’s somewhat of a departure from Cajun red beans and rice which tend to have more “porky” depth.\u00a0 Anthony’s version doesn’t include rice, but you won’t miss it.\u00a0 The macaroni and cheese<\/strong><\/em> has a terrific gooey and creamy cheesiness.\u00a0 It’s some of the best you’ll find in New Mexico.\u00a0 Accord “best” honors to the crumbly, buttery, sweet cornbread<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n

The phrase “I’ve got soul” reflects a deeper-felt connection to life–genuine emotion, passion and spirit.\u00a0 In Anthony’s Soul Cafe, Santa Fe has soul and it’s a bout time.<\/p>\n
