There's a reason this place is an institution. Solid New Mexican flare with some unique takes. The BLT of course had green chile but the bread was a corn bread grilled to perfection. Paloma's were excellent and the dessert was a standout in a trip full of good food. read more

This is a VERY busy restaurant, but for good reason. The food is amazing. The staff moves as fast as possible to accommodate guests. They have many vegan options which is so great! I had the veggie stacked enchiladas which were amazing! 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

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

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

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

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

Pasqual's is a Santa Fe tradition for many families. We always go early in the morning as the line is always long even when it is not on a weekend. The food is delicious and they have many choices not only for main breakfast items but also for sides. They want you to enjoy your meal, so cook it in a way that is to your liking. I cannot tolerate hot spices, so they left the chile off of my meal. They typically have delicious croissants, and will let you buy them to eat al a carte if they are not sold out of them. The food is fresh and delicious. I always like to sit at the community table, as you can socialize with locals or others from out of state. The conversation is typically lively and fun. You can share information about Santa Fe. I simply love to go there. They also have a rack of beautiful cards done by local artists in a print format. read more

We shared Pablo's Quesadilla and a cup of the chilled sweet and spicy carrot soup. The soup was not spicy and it was loaded with flavor. The quesadilla had shredded chicken, asadero cheese and cilantro. We asked for plain mango versus the mango salsa because I didn't want the extra heat. It also came with slices of watermelon sprinkled with feta cheese. The quesadilla was amazing and the mango was an excellent compliment along with the watermelon. Steven was our server and he helped us get the food the way we wanted it. Excellent job! Small restaurant that was extremely busy. It was worth the 25 minute wait. read more

My daughter and I went here for breakfast. When we walked in, we were greeted by two men who asked if they could help us. We said do you have a table for two? They looked at me in a vaguely uncomfortable way and said yes, we will have a table for two in about 10 minutes. He motioned to a table in the café and said, those people will be leaving soon. The man got my name and number and told me that they will text me very soon. They never texted me. I walked back and saw that they were seating a bunch of white guests. I had a feeling that they were never going to text my daughter and I. How unfortunate, we were dressed so beautifully and we would've only added class to their establishment. Oh well, there are so many other places to choose from in that area. read more

Cafe Pasqual's - We found a restaurant that had no problem with our skin color. We had a fabulous time! - Vegetarian Near Me - Santa Fe, New Mexico

This is a locals fav here in Santa Fe. Was recommended by a friend so we decided to check it out... Ambiance, very "Mexico" vibe, but I find it funny how are server was English she had an accent. Wait: I guess it's safe to say it's better to have a reservation but we didn't have one and we Were seating within 15-20 mins for 4 Food: I ordered huevos ranchero, stacked enchiladas, chorizo burritos and mom got the basic egg breakfast. Flavors: okay, I got the huevos ranchero with the mole sauce and let me say that wassss fireeeee, both the stacked enchiladas and the chorizo burritos was also recommended but I think the red sauce was soooo much better than the green but that's just my opinion... this place hands down had the best Moje I've ever had besides Oaxaca so that's a 10/10 Service: server was great. Although with an English accent she was pleasant, very informative Parking: in this place it sucks soo I'd say come a little earlier and park across the street. Overall, it was amazing!!! Prices are on the higher end but what would you expect? Vacation... bougie place "I heard" but I think it was reasonable read more

What a delightful 1st night introduction to Santa Fe! This was my first time eating squash blossoms and I can officially say I'm a fan - more please! The tomato sauce under the squash blossoms created a good, not-too-acidic complement to the ricotta stuffed blossoms. My friend and I shared the Pan Seared Arctic Char and it was divine! The bartender was heaven-sent! He made me a delicious Chareau Aloe Liqueur beverage, then lit some cinnamon for us to sniff, which really amplified our dining experience! If you're ever in town, make Cafe Pasqual's your first stop above all! read more

This cafe was recommended by another local business. I was told I would enjoy anything I ordered. Sure seemed that way. I walked in and ordered Two Mole Chicken Enchiladas for lunch. It was the best mole I ever had. The sides were great, too. The Cilantro Rice and Turnip Salad with Pomegranate Seeds were deliciously refreshing. The staff is super friendly and helpful. They were wonderful. The decor is so fun and festive. There are so many decorations and murals. The cafe also offers breakfast. The menu sounds awesome. read more

Super cute little restaurant right off the plaza. The inside is so cute and total Santa Fe vibes- it is a touch crowded which can make getting into tables challenging. I came for brunch on a weekday and had a 30 minute wait for one. The staff was super friendly and food was out fast. I got the huevos mutelenos which were delicious- the eggs and black beans were a bit undercooked. The red chili though was delicious and I'm normally a green chili girl. Would totally recommend for a Santa Fe feeling restaurant. read more

Fantastic food in a wonderfully eclectic setting. Perfect every time. Have all the cookbooks ... some of them signed. Thank you, Katherine!

We have tried to get into this place the last few times in Santa Fe, but there was always a long wait. This time we went for lunch and lucked out at getting a table. Pasqual's did not disappoint. A unique menu which represented the food well, The food was beautifully presented, was delicious, and this place has a great atmosphere. I was reluctant to sit at a group table, but once we sat down it was really easy to visit with others that were sharing our experience. We did have trouble getting service, even with others at our table getting it quickly. The couple sitting next to us had to get our server so we could order, which was disappointing, but it got better from there. read more

Extremely overpriced for what was just okay food. I went with my mom and the service was just okay. Our food took almost an hour to come out. I got the soup which was fine, but for $40 a bowl I expected better. My mom got tamales that were dry and bland. Extremely disappointing considering all the hype and that we had to make reservations weeks in advance. Skip it! read more

An amazing blend of organic, fresh and healthy cuisine with that New Mexico flare. My friend got a custom omelette and could not stop saying how she could taste how fresh everything was. The ambience is so cute and colorful. You could just spend a lot of time looking at the art. It's in a central location from the plaza. I ordered the breakfast quesadilla and it also tasted fresh with delicious salsa. Definitely a staple and must-go location. read more

We got lucky and were able to get a table for two right away around 10 a.m. on a Sunday. They also have community tables if you don't want to wait for a separate table. Service was excellent, and the staff was very attentive. Our food was delicious! I am gluten free and the server helped me decide on the Griddled Polenta with Chorizo, which was amazing! My boyfriend loved his Carne Asada Burrito. read more

Food is phenomenal. Anything you order will surprise your taste buds and sate your soul. We had the Breakfast Burrito and the Durango Scramble (Xmas) and they were delightful. The quality of ingredients and excellent taste justify the cost-- pasture raised, locally sourced meats and veggies. Their tamales are also among the best I've ever had (and my Mexican grandmother made some of the absolute best). Don't skip on espresso drinks, too. (Service was also notably lovely) 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

Really great staff. Friendly and great. The menu is complex in the best way. Loved the food. And don't skip dessert. Top notch. Homemade.

Went for dinner and it was a tough choice, so many things looked good. I had the heritage pork dish with tostones on the side. Sounds silly but the rice was amazing as were the pickled red onions. Hubs had the Catalan stew - cross between gumbo and cioppino. So many shrimp, meaty pieces of fish plus sausage and bacon. Sadly we were too full for dessert but the pastries looked lovely! read more

Recommended by a local. Loved it!! The staff were super attentive and nice. The food tastes like it's made of love. The waiter recommended the BLT for lunch and it was delightful- my bf said it was the best sandwich he's ever had. Definitely this was the best mole I've had.

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

There was a line snaking outside the door at Cafe Pasqual's - even at 1:30pm when we arrived. It was still there when we left an hour later. Reservations are definitely recommended at this beloved Santa Fe institution - though you will have to call to make one. Deservedly so. The salads and fish we ate were incredibly fresh and delicately prepared. We so appreciated that. And while there are New Mexico inflections on the menu, they are subtle and innovative. So when you tire of red chili enchiladas and pozole - and one eventually does - this is the place to come. The ambience is cozy and buzzy, classy in an informal way. Service is efficient although we were not rushed. Cafe Pasqual's should be high on your list for Santa Fe dining. read more

Sunday brunch at Cafe Pasquals. Arrived at 845am, approx 45 min wait to get a table. Very small restaurant, very packed. Service was friendly and attentive. Good menu with fresh food choices but super high prices for everything, almost so expensive that it's not worth it. GRANDMA JENNY'S BLINTZES were delicious, CORN PANCAKES the best part was the mole. GRIDDLED POLENTA & CHORIZO my brother ordered was nice and spicy. Bathrooms were tiny, like no way the hallway is to code, and not recommended if you're claustrophobic. read more

What happened to Café Pasqual's? We've had some wonderful brunches at Café Pasqual's over the years, which made last night's experience especially disappointing. We reserved a table for eight and had the reservation confirmed three times. Yet when we arrived, the restaurant had seated two strangers at our table. They were lovely women, but they were just as uncomfortable as we were. Most of our group had flown into Santa Fe for a memorial, and we had planned this dinner as a chance to be together and remember our friend. Instead, we were forced to share our table with two people we didn't know. Who does that? And then there was the food. Not one dish was good. Everything was drowning in sauce. The $75 steak was tough; the $30 burger was painfully dry. At these prices, the food should be exceptional--not mediocre. Yes, they offered some complimentary appetizers for the table fiasco. Frankly, I would have gladly paid full price for the evening we had actually reserved. Very disappointing. read more

Had fun at the community table! Super tight and small but worth it! One of the specials was an asparagus salad starter very fresh, flavorful and nice veggie balance to start. The stacked enchiladas with tofu were exactly what I wanted after a day of exploring and hiking. read more

Ate their last week. Got the ribeye, was very thin chewy and lots of grizzle. The asparagus as extra salty and undercooked and the mashed potatoes wee almost ag good as you could get at Applebee's.

Pasqual's is legendary In Santa Fe. There's always a line waiting to get in. The secret is to ask for the Community Table, which I did as a single. Waited about 6 minutes. I had the orange avocado salad which has a sweetish dressing. I must have liked it because I ate every leaf. Being a lover of everything lemon, I ordered their lemon tart, which had a meringue topping and was 50% larger than a typical serving. As good as I've ever had. (See photo.) read more

We got in for breakfast right as they were opening; there was already a line outside on a week day, so you know it's popular! The food was good and it was a nice taste of New Mexican food on our first day in town. I got the corn cakes, which come with red Chile, mole, and maple syrup; you're supposed to smother the cakes in all three and it makes for a sweet and sour taste. Very unique and hearty! The bacon was very flavorful, thick and crispy. The decor was bright and colorful, with murals on the walls and paper banners reaching across the room. A few notes on accessibility from a disabled person: this is in an old building, and at least some of the seating was in a raised area with steps that went up to it. The bathroom would be very difficult to access if you had a rollater or wheelchair as a very narrow hall led to the small room. With my cane I was okay. Around the corner there's also a related gallery: follow the yellow brick path outside! read more
