    Huevos Rancheros with Mole
    Emily Y.

    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.

    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!

    Adding more photos to my review.... Didn't realize all the descriptions were there without the dishes! So sorry about that! Oh, and here's the dessert menu that we couldn't enjoy (being stuffed like the chile relleno)!

    Pear salad with dressing on the side perfect balance

    Outstanding! The host squeezed me in I was able to be seated at the communal table nice to sit with others n chat if ur social. Met other diners from every area of America and my neighbor was town over by my home. Food was delightful got a mocktail to start was delicious n looked like an alcoholic drink despite a lemon mocktail. Pear salad to start , fish entree with bok choy and cheesecake to end with. I was so full it was nice to walk back nearby to my hotel. So yummy also service was impeccable

    Had a seat at the share table, and that was a treat in itself meeting new faces and hearing their stories. Honestly, I forgot what I ate as I was more engrossed with the spontaneous conversations. All I remember was that it was hearty, yet refreshing.

    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.

    I had a great lunch at Pasqual's - the waitstaff were all wonderful, the atmosphere cozy and delightful, and the food tasty! A great place in Santa Fe to try!

    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.

    Delicious brunch at this quintessential downtown cafe. Made reservations easily for 2. We got our own wall table. Don't miss out!!

    Plato Supremo with chile relleno, chicken mole enchilada, Oaxacan Tamales, and cilantro rice.
    Sara L.

    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.

    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.

    First time eating here. The place is super cute inside. Every employee was beyond pleasant. The granola bowl was beautiful and delicious. The griddled polenta and chorizo were so flavorful. We can't wait to come back to Santa Fe to try other items on the menu!

    $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.
