CHARLIE’S Spic & Span Bakery and Café
(715 Douglas Ave., Las Vegas, NM) Diners love the restaurant’s homemade tortillas, breakfast all day, and traditional Northern New Mexico comfort food. In 2013, the eatery was named a New Mexi- co Culinary Treasure.
Baked goods are, of course, a specialty of the house. Delectable cream puffs, lemon squares, key lime squares, cookies, cupcakes, pastalitos and empanadas are among an array of irresistible entice- ments. The bizcochitos are some of the best you will find anywhere.
It’s common to hear visitors tell wait staff they always stop at Char- lie’s on the way through town, to have a great meal and pick up donuts and tortillas to take home.
Since Charlie and Elizabeth Sandoval acquired the café in 1998,
they have created a charming color- ful space with a warm and friendly atmosphere. Locals call it the eating, meeting and greeting place, with an emphasis on eating. Generous por- tions, fresh ingredients and friendly service are the standard.
“We’re here to take care of custom- ers,” Charlie said. “That’s what we do.”
Charlie’s Bakery and Café, 715 Douglas Ave., open 7 days, Monday– Saturday, 6:30am to 6pm, Sunday 7am to 3pm. 505 426-1921

THE SKILLET (623 12th St., Las Vegas, NM) operated by Charlie’s son, Isaac, and his wife, Shaw- na, was a hit from the day it opened in September 2017. These young entrepreneurs have created a happening place where great food takes center stage in a setting that can best be described as trendy and fun. Both Isaac and Shawna have MFA degrees and actively produce work, some of which is on display in The Skillet and at Charlie’s Bakery and Café.
