Nopalitos Southwestern Cafe

                  Our Business

Dave and Rose Hanke, both trained chefs, opened Nopalitos in April of 1992.  Dave, viewed by his fans as an outstanding chef, developed his own recipes.  Rose focused on managing the counter and keeping all those important records.  Between the two of them, and helped by two assistants, Nopalitos soon became one of the most popular cafés in Sacramento.  

In Nopalitos Southwestern Cafe, every menu item is the product of creativity and culinary craftsmanship.  And, some items have become legendary.  Dave's muffins are outstanding, the pancakes are amazing (they were featured on the cover of the February 2009 Sactown Magazine), and every other item on the menu  is equally excellent in its own way.  The café has become a landmark in the East Sacramento area, and continues to grow in popularity.
