Nice location; fast breakfast spot. Homemade chorizo was very good. Green Chile was good, but a bit watery. Portions are LARGE. Staff is awesome.

This place was exactly what we were looking for after 8 days on the Mother Road. Gabriel, our waiter was the BEST. He was attentive and knowledgeable. Talked to us about all different kinds of tequila and made recommendations where we could go buy different brands in Santa Fe. The food was delicious and quite upscale at a reasonable price. We sat on the upstairs outside balcony overlooking the square. It was a great atmosphere. Would definitely recommend this place.

Food and drinks real good. Happy hour is from 4pm to 6pm. And they also have 1/2 price appetizers (except guacamole and chips. The salsa is great, spicey for sure.I like that the food is all made from scratch. The menu has a variety not just mexican, sandwiches, fish , burgers and chicken fried steak just for example. The deserts look yummy! Before we leave we will skip the appetizer and have desert.Thank you Robert M. And Claudia for great dining experience.

Reviewed By BarbaraMD59

The restaurant is small, but cute. It seems to be run and staffed by a family. It is very popular, but it is only open for breakfast and lunch. My husband and I had delicious sandwiches for lunch here. There are Mexican specialties also. It is only a block from the Drury Plaza Inn if you stay there.

Cafe Pasqual's

Reviewed By JimH983

Cafe Pasquale’s is a Santa Fe icon for a reason — great (and creative) food with a terrific sense of Santa Fe place! Especially good for breakfast. One great menu example: Poached eggs on avocado toast and applewood smoked baked (seeded bread, of course). Always packed, so plan accordingly. Every visit to SF should include breakfast or lunch at Cafe Pasquale’s.

We were here on a Wednesday morning, and it was busy. However, we had no trouble finding a parking spot right out front. (We were early.) We got seated right away, and our coffee was brought promptly. Coffee was just regular stuff, not anything special. I wasn't very hungry, so I ordered some hash browns and a pastry. The potatoes were good, but the portion was REALLY small. Our waiter almost forgot to bring the pastry I ordered. When I finally got it, the lemon tart was delicious. My son had the breakfast soup. He was not really impressed, and he was still hungry afterwards. So, a mixed review.

The Ranch House

Reviewed By Don C

We eat out quite often, and enjoy good restaurants. On a trip through Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona we made it a point to try high-rated places. The best and most memorable meal of the trip was dinner at The Ranch House in Santa Fe.This is obviously a restaurant that is managed by real pros. Both the service and food were excellent. We shared the ribs and chicken combo - delicious!Most definitely recommend, with something on the menu for everyone.

Pantry Restaurant

The Pantry Restaurant has been a Santa Fe landmark since 1948. We offer a unique take on a diner, where the cuisine of Northern New Mexico meets traditional American food. We have been serving quality fresh from scratch comfort food for over sixty years.

Get out of downtown to see what good food is offered in Santa Fe. Menu has a good variety. Every type of eater will find something good there. Wonderful to see people welcomed and encourage to greet all their customers both old and new. Food is fresh and cooked to order. Service is quick. If there is a wait there is fresh coffee for free while you wait! No one does that anymore. From comfort food to authentic New Mexican dishes, everyone will find something tasty on our menu! Keeping our guests happy and having them leave with a full belly is what makes us smile. We can't wait to welcome you again. All the best, Michael Singley, Owner

Presented today for breakfast, we did not stay here, not many people in the restaurant. Had to wait and approach a waiter if restaurant was open too public, no one noticed us standing at “wait to be seated”.Seated at nice table, breakfast was okay, toast only cooked on one side. Tasty omelette, waiter asked if we needed anything else. We asked for another coffee, waiter not seen again. Came to table when we were done, asked in same script tone, “do you need anything else?” We just laughed it off thinking it was probably better so we would not have to go to bathroom at farmers market. Just Okay, for last minute choice. Will look for alternate breakfast choice during rest of vacation.Apologies for the lack of service you received - we can and will do better next time!kowaen mina so thuu puchi - Have a great day!
