At first, the restaurant may feel overcrowded and almost impossibly smaller, but after a while, you settle into the atmosphere. The service was attentive, warm, and friendly throughout our visit. We tried the Primo Plate and the barbacoa eggs. I would normally skip the tamal, but this one immediately became a favorite. The Yucatecan mole tamal was exceptionally moist, flavorful, and delicious. The chile relleno, clearly made from scratch, was superb and one of the highlights of the meal. Even the coffee was very good. Despite the tight space, the quality of the food and the welcoming service made the experience well worth it. read more

Cafe Pasqual's - Primo Plate and Barbacoa Eggs - Vegetarian Near Me - Santa Fe, New Mexico

Cafe Pasqual's was such a memorable Santa Fe experience. The atmosphere is exciting and cozy at the same time -- paper sculptures, iconic art everywhere, even on the ceiling, and that wonderful heart-of-town energy. We loved the cocktails, especially the smoky margarita and the Coin margarita. The chicken dishes were outstanding -- moist, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. I had the mole enchiladas and my sister had the Blue Lady enchiladas, and both were fantastic. The wait at the door may look a little intimidating at first, but don't be scared off. The staff was friendly, accommodating, and impressively efficient. A warm, vibrant, iconic spot right in the heart of Santa Fe. read more

I'm not sure what all the hype is about. Cafe Pasqual's always has a line out the door, so you naturally expect the food to be exceptional. My wife and I made reservations for lunch, but the food was just average and didn't live up to the reputation. What was even more disappointing was the service. It felt chaotic, disorganized, and lacking coordination throughout our visit. Given the long lines and popularity, I expected a much better overall experience. read more

The happiest, most perfect breakfast I had in Santa Fe. Service was incredibly friendly, especially one of the staff whose name I didn't get, but her energy was so sweet and she was just giving 110% of herself to everyone around her. Our server was also so friendly and helpful. Got the chorizo burrito Xmas style and a Mexican hot chocolate and shared the cornmeal pancakes with my family. Everything was delicious. The only thing I can say is you need to be patient because the restaurant is so crowded - for good reason - and even with a reservation we waited half an hour for a table (but luckily ended up with the best table in the place). Got myself an apron with the Guadalupe on it which I plan to use all the time. Definitely will be back next time I'm in town. read more

We were excited to try, but everything was underwhelming. Mole was ok, burrito was boring. The pancakes were bland. There was really nothing special, which was disappointing. Very expensive for uninspired food. read more

I love this place! This is only our second time. The first time was a few years ago and we had brunch. I remember being pleased with our experience so today when looking for somewhere to eat on Valentine's Day I lucked out and found a 5:30pm reservation as someone had cancelled! Woo hoo!!! The restaurant opens at 5:30pm so there was a line at the door and we all got seated quickly. I had a glass of Gruet Rose and my husband had a beer. I ordered the conchinita pibil and was not disappointed!! I made 2 little tacos with my corn tortillas, pork, veggies, crème fresh and habanero pickled red onions! So so good and I had leftovers! My husband got the special au poivre ribeye and ate every bite! For dessert I had the Meyer lemon cheesecake with coconut crust and my husband had the layered honey cake. Both were wonderful! I also had a cup of hot peppermint tea! We had a lovely waitress and the ambiance is eclectic and cozy as it's small and lovely. All the staff are so kind. This is a place I will always return to! Come check it out when you have time! Make a reservation! read more

A classic downtown Santa Fe breakfast spot. It's a great place to start a day if you want to walk around downtown. The decor is iconic, they take reservations, and you can close the check via mobile too. The food is good, but it IS very expensive. read more

This is an eclectic and interesting space with a very fun and energetic vibe. It is small, so you definitely need a reservation. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. The Mia's Silver Coin Margarita was delightful. Not too sweet. I think that the cocktail menu there is a bit different than what I saw online. I'd give a 4.5 if I could. Overall it was a great spot, I think I just ordered poorly and things weren't exactly what I expected. I just wasn't in the mood for most of the menu choices. We shared the Wild Shrimp Cocktail Mexican Style, Grilled Nopales Cactus Salad, and the Mole Enchiladas with chicken. The ingredients were all very fresh. The shrimp was nice, but it comes in a glass and has a lot of tomato juice and it is more of a salsa with some shrimp, avocado, and veggies. It was just a little too acidic for my taste. The nopales cactus salad was really interesting and pretty tasty. The chicken in the enchiladas was flavorful, juicy, and tender. The mole sauce was okay. It was fairly bitter and overall I found the enchiladas a little bland. The corn torte and orange & Jicama Salad that came with it were tasty. Worth giving this place a try if you're in Santa Fe! read more

I was so full it was nice to walk back nearby to my hotel. So yummy also service was impeccable read more

One of the all time worst dining experiences of my life. My waiter seemed to hate his job and could have cared less about me. The food was inedible. And when I went to talk to the manager, kindly, the first thing he did when I asked him, "can I tell you about my experience tonight?", was look at his watch. I sware to God. Then I made a joke about it, and nicely began to tell him how insipid the service was, and in the middle of me talking, he started to tend to some other activity. I said, "this is what's wrong here. No one cares!!!! No one is present. There is no Love here." The manger also, seems to hate his job. It's obviously a burden. Or he's just done this way too long. No Joy. No Love. This restaurant needs a hiatus. And a rebirth. Something is really wrong here. read more

If I could get back on a plane every morning just to go here, I would. The staff were so friendly and accommodating. While small, the bathrooms were incredibly nice. They were in this tiny hallway but the bathrooms were so well done. I started with the pineapple ginger juice and ordered the hashbrowns, turkey bacon, and scrambled eggs. They make their own gluten free toast! Man. Everything was amazing. read more

Fantastic! Worth the wait! We went for lunch the Saturday after Thanksgiving. It's a small place that doesn't take reservations for lunch. We waited and it was well worth it. Everything is fresh and inventive. The staff is super friendly. It's a quaint dining experience in Old Town Santa Fe. It's a must. read more

Cafe Pasqual's - Vegetarian Near Me - Santa Fe, New Mexico

Came here based on several recommendations, on my only night off during a work trip, and it was unique and memorable experience. Quaint, cozy and bright, Cafe Pasqual's is conveniently located a stone's throw away from the plaza. I was able to make a reservation for 1 on a weekday and scored a seat at the community table with 8 other diners, with whom I made polite conversation. When I arrived at opening, there was already a line around the corner, but all were seated promptly. Although I made a reservation, others at my table informed me they were able to walk in. Eager to try local cuisine, I ordered the Plato Supremo with chile relleno and a chicken mole enchilada, and the restaurant kindly let me substitute the steak skewers with the Oaxacan Tamales. I enjoyed every bite and hoped to savor it as long as possible, especially the chile relleno which was rich from the cheese and covered in a delectable savory peppery tomato sauce. This is a meal I won't soon forget. read more

Make reservations early as it's a popular place and quite small. This is a local fave, and two different people recommended it to us. They knew what they were talking about as the food is delicious and it has a cool and friendly vibe. The food was excellent, although we were led astray a bit. I was told that the Oaxacan Tamales was an appetizer size, so ordered that with the Arctic Char. It was actually an entrée portion, as it's a heavy dish, and that would have been plenty for my full meal. As we were in a hotel, I was not able to take anything home with me. So I ate two dinners! The fish dish we both ordered came with a cilantro lime sauce that was spectacular. The fish was a lighter dish, and the snap peas that came with it, as well as the roasted red chili pepper were scrumptious! Too good to leave behind! My dining partner ordered the flourless chocolate cake for dessert, which was very dense and rich. One bite was enough for me, but he enjoyed it immensely. read more

DEEEEELICIOUS! This place is so authentic and finger licking good. Everything on the menu looked great, opted for the Pasqual's breakfast, and the mexican mocha. Both DID NOT disappoint. Servings were generous and filling. The bonus is the amazing staff who went out of their way to make our meal seamless. Great customer service, they went above and beyond. PRO TIP: Make a resie, this place is popular (as it should be) & treat yourself to a real mexica mocha (without alternative almond/soy etc... just give in to real milk) read more

We were very excited to try Cafe Pasqual's as we had booked a reservation months in advance to our traveling here. When we walked in for our reservation, the host at the front desk would not look at us as. He was working on getting checks ready. After 10 minutes of waiting to check in, I asked about checking in and he was condescending when telling me to give him a minute. It really changed the tone of the restaurant experience for me. After a bit, he let me check in but was rude and had an attitude because I didn't talk loud enough for him. I get that restaurant work can be stressful and busy but I don't appreciate being talked to that way. Nonetheless, the food was fantastic. My boyfriend and I got the sparking lemonade which was a perfect refreshing addition to the meal. I ordered the carne asada and it was exceptional. Cooked perfectly, moist, and flavorful. Even the beans had amazing flavor. My boyfriend ordered the carne asada enchiladas and adored it. Everything came out hot. We also ordered the chocolate cake which was a fantastic palette cleanser. It was rich, creamy, and sweet. We absolutely loved the food here and our waiter was also very attentive. Food =5/5 The ambiance was very whimsical and unique. I could look at the walls and ceilings for hours. Unique art, banners, and plants filled the space. Overall Pascals is a fantastic restaurant but I will never appreciate being treated in a condescending manner which is why I am rating this experience a 4/5. read more

$34 for Pasqual's favorite (two eggs, two wheat cakes, two pieces of bacon & a side of hash browns). Heck no, too rich for my breakfast blood. We had a group of six for breakfast and our total came to $209 before tip. Come on, really? I didn't care for my gringo breakfast. The scrambled eggs were a little runny and tasted a little off. I've not had wheat cake pancakes before and I have discovered I'm not a fan. The restaurant is just off the Santa Fe square so they have the location apparently to charge $34 for one breakfast meal, but definitely not my vibe. To be fair the rest of my group enjoyed their southern flavor meals. Also our server was friendly and was attentive to us. Cafe Pasqual's just wasn't my jam, which is probably a good thing because you're likely charged extra for jam. read more

Horrible customer service. Followed the expectations, made reservations way in advance. Upon arrival got shuffled aside and offered seating at family table. Packing too many at one table isn't accommodation. read more

We went and thought it was trying to be something it isn't. Their mole missed the mark. Tasted a little different and it would've been better if they stuck to traditional. Same goes for the Tamale. It's vegetarian and lacked any sort of flavor. The complimentary seeded Parmesan they give each table came across like bird food; Very strange and it didn't go well with the menu. Ordered scallops and it had to be the smallest portion I've ever seen. Almost the size of peanut M&Ms. The Plato Supremo had very tender steak, the corn torte was excellent, and fresh vegetables. The ribeye was cooked perfectly but the collard greens had a strange flavor to them; Not traditional collard greens. This place gets it right on the traditional stuff but I think someone got carried away making the menu when it comes to adding their own twist to things; The overly unique stuff just didn't work for us. Inside was clean and had awesome decor, all the workers were friendly, it was a little pricey. Overall, I would try somewhere else before going back. read more

The chili is flavorful and not overpowering. Enchiladas were topped with the Xmas sauce and the smokiness of the chili came through. Topped with a fried egg, the yolk complimented with the gooeyness covering the dish. The corn cakes were stuffed with cress veggies, primarily squash and corn. But the star of that is the white queso, addicting flavors. Great service with constant checking in on us. read more

One of the best brunches I've had of Mexican cuisine. First of all, I love the overall vibe and interior of the place because the colorful setup gives off happy energy. The receptionist, servers, crew, and other staff are all welcoming. Their hot chocolate and macchiato are good! They are warm, creamy, sweet, and strong enough. We enjoyed our food and it already made my day coming and eating here. 5/5, and the bathroom is pretty, nice, and pleasant-smelling. read more

Hubs and I went for a Monday brunch, and it's definitely worth the hype. We got on the wait list around 10:30am and told 35 minute wait. We probably only waited about 15 minutes. It was quick! It's a great example of New Mexican cuisine, and my chorizo burrito was the best I've ever had. It's a tiny restaurant, so it's cramped. And prices are a bit high in my opinion. But service was great. Food was wonderful. I definitely recommend. The family seated next to us had actually planned to eat there 2 days in a row! read more

We stopped here during our road trip, and it was exactly what we were hoping to find... unique, eclectic, and full of charm. It's warm and inviting the moment you step inside, with so much character. The service was truly exceptional, attentive, welcoming, and genuine. We even had the chance to talk with the owner, who kindly shared some local travel tips with us, which made the experience feel even more personal. And the food... absolutely out of this world. Every dish felt thoughtfully prepared, full of flavor, and beautifully presented. We were talking about this meal for the remainder of our trip. If you find yourself in Santa Fe, this is a place you don't want to miss. It was such a memorable stop for us, and one we'd return to in a heartbeat. read more
