We got sandwiches and bowls and the food was great. Fresh and healthy. I also got some kind of maple cream cold brew; I did have to ask for more maple flavor because I wanted my drink a bit sweeter, and the barista graciously added it without charging extra. They seemed to have interesting pastries and bagels, and the shop is also a market with fancy snacks and other provisions. I was tempted to take home a unique chocolate bar or jam, or something savory like a wacky bag of popcorn, but we were maxed out on snacks at our Airbnb, so I refrained. They had a wide selection of this kind of stuff. All in all, it was the perfect spot to grab lunch in the late afternoon while cruising around the Plaza on a hot day. The service was friendly, and so were the other customers!

It's ideally situated right on the Santa Fe River just a few blocks from the plaza and the state capitol, featuring tasty and reasonably priced food, excellent service, and a casual ambiance.

Even though we arrived for a late lunch right as they were trying to wind down the kitchen to close up shop, the service was prompt, welcoming, and entirely friendly, which we really appreciated. I had the Carne Adovada plate ($17), a generous portion of slow-roasted, perfectly tender pork served in a signature red chile marinade alongside a side of beans and rice and a a handful of corn or flour tortillas. It was an excellent and incredibly satisfying dish. My dining companion opted for the Salmon Tacos ($17), with three street tacos filled with grilled salmon, pico de gallo, cabbage, cheese, and avocado sauce, which she found filling and tasty. Great food, solid portion sizes, great service, and a wonderful location to recharge after a long drive into Santa Fe. PRO TIP: Pantry Rio doesn't have its own parking lot, but don't let that deter you -- there is plenty of convenient on-street metered parking available right along Alameda Street or nearby side streets. Use the ParkMobile app or the pay-by-plate meters: $2/hour for the first two hours, then $3/hour thereafter. The parking meters are enforced Monday through Saturday from 8 AM to 6 PM; parking is free all day on Sunday.

Palacio Restaurant, tucked away in the vibrant heart of Santa Fe, New Mexico, is a gem for those craving authentic Mexican cuisine. Despite its unassuming exterior, the restaurant boasts a charming ambiance with its colorful walls and décor. The outdoor seating area, featuring coyote fencing and shade trees, provides a lovely setting for dining al fresco. Whether you are stopping by for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, Palacio Restaurant delivers a delightful array of dishes. The renowned smothered burritos and delectable fish tacos are crowd favorites, but the chef/owner, Damien, highly recommends the chicken enchiladas as a standout choice. Do not miss the homemade flan for a sweet and satisfying finish to your meal. Each dish, from the chips and salsa to the entrees, is crafted with fresh, flavorful ingredients, reflecting the restaurant's dedication to both quality and authenticity. read more

I'm a local who works downtown, and I've been to most of the restaurants here in SF. Palacio Cafe is now one of my favorites, and I've been going there since they opened. The owners Damian & Maria are the kindest and most welcoming people who always brighten my day. They not only make the best sandwiches in town, but they make killer enchiladas, fabulous soups, and tasty salads, always using fresh ingredients. If you want a good breakfast, then head on over to Palacio and get some huevos rancheros and a cup of coffee, and sit in a nice, relaxed atmosphere. If you're here in the summer, get a table outside and soak in the sun while enjoying your food. Palacio is only slightly off the beaten path, yet only a minute walking distance from the plaza!! If you love good, fresh food, then this is the place for you!! read more

I loved my visit to Palacio Cafe! It's perfectly located right next to St. Francis of Assisi in Santa Fe, which made it super convenient to stop in after exploring the area. Parking on the street was easy, and the café has the cutest interior that matches the Santa Fe style beautifully -- full of character. I ordered the pollo adobo and my husband got the red and green enchiladas, and both dishes were authentic New Mexico style and absolutely delicious.

One down-side -- their on-line ordering platform didn't work for me - it came up with a fraud alert when I tried to use my credit card, and I couldn't proceed (apparently, a credit card from Seattle is suspicious there??). They had no problem taking it in person. As for ordering, I gave up on their on-line ordering process, and called them on the phone - several times. The first few times, no-one answered. When they finally did answer, it was easy to order ... but the whole thing was odd, they must miss out on a fair amount of take-out business by not making it easier to order food to go.

Our server was a patient and relaxed young man, happy to take my order and then let me change it before he left the table. The $8 sangria was huge and boozy, in a sweet and very good way. Dos XX bottle came with a chilled salted mug and lime. Prices were reasonable. Our server was excited to serve me my first Frito pie ($9) with red chile, no beans, it was the perfectly sized smaller portion meal for me with no leftovers! I ate all of it, then maybe had a little regret. I wish I had ordered Christmas style to try both the red and green sauces, but the red was pretty spicy and I felt it the next day. Covered in lettuce, tomato, cheese and sour cream, it doesn't look like much on a plate but I am a big fan of Frito pie now! Husband had the Grande combo with beef taco, cheese enchilada (red), chicken tostada, rice, posole and beans. This is where Valentina's shines! The tostada chicken was extremely tender and moist shredded meat in a fluted blue corn tortilla cup. The cheese enchilada was gooey and perfect, the red sauce dark, rich and earthy. The beef taco crispy and satisfying. It seems in NM that posole is served with everything, feels strange to this Arizona gal to have hominy and pork as a side. It isn't super flavorful but its traditional, so we picked at it. This plate came with a flour tortilla to boot, overkill! Rice and beans were solid contributors, but this was a huge plate and a struggle to finish! In the end, it ended up being one of our most economical and memorable dinners in our week in Santa Fe, thanks Valentinos!
