    When we visit Santa Fe ir travel through and it's breakfast, this is one of our go to's! Excellent service, excellently prepared good. Good coffee. This part time they were particularly efficient, we were in and out in 30 minutes. Thoroughly enjoyed it and kept us to a tight schedule.

    This place has gone down the tubes big time. $30 for a hamburger and fries and a cup of green chili stew. The manager tonight stood right in front of me, yelling loudly at his staff about his life and the service sucked. The place was almost empty and it took forever to get my food. They got my main order wrong. It was pretty good, but not great. I used to love this place, so it's kind of sad.

    The food was very good and the service was great. My daughter said the steak was delicious. This restaurant is a Santa Fe staple. The ambiance was busy diner. My daughter also had the cheesecake and she said it was good. I recommend the Pantry.

    Brisket tacos and chicken fried steak, both delicious

    One of our best meals in New Mexico so far and we've been to Albuquerque, Santa Fe, and Taos. The food quality is top notch, the service is friendly, pleasant, and quick. Very accommodating staff. Margaritas as good as any around Santa Fe plaza and much better price 30-40% less depending on what type you order. This is where the locals go. That should tell you something. Will definitely come back.

    cute little restaurant in business since 1948 . It's actually big inside :)

    First time eating chile relleno and an omelette together (sides: biscuit and pantry potatoes). It sounded a little weird to me at first, but I had to try it and it was so delicious! I asked for the spiciest salsa, and it did not disappoint. You should definitely try it! They also have other salsas that are less spicy. :) Everyone was friendly, and the place was clean. The tables are a little close to each other, but it wasn't a problem. I also loved the mint chocolates at the exit they reminded me of the chocolates you get at Olive Garden.

    Recommend: No Food: I ordered the chilaquiles, which come with Tortilla chips sautéed with chile, cheese, and onions. Served with two eggs, beans, pantry fries, and garnish. The chips were fresh and crunchy (they grab them out of a big tub that's under the register), they are doused with chile sauce and I think cheddar cheese. I asked for the eggs over hard and they came sunny side up. They had to remake them. The beans tasted as if they were from a can and the potato's were there. The entire plate was bland other than the chiles spicy was. My mom got the brisket tacos and she said they were dry and also lacked seasoning. She said the same about the beans. Service: They are extremely busy so service was slow. I never got a refill on my coffee and it took a while to get my check. We were not checked on throughout the visit and we were sitting at the counter which is literally across from the kitchen and wait staff continually passed us by. Ambiance: it reminded me of an old timey diner with the counter seating across from the kitchen. It is somewhat old but very busy. Be prepared for long wait times. I am def the odd person here in that I did not care for the food here. Not sure how other people gave it the ratings that it has.

    Great food every time we have been here. I got breakfast which was eggs, pan sausage and a pancake (instead of toast). You have to try the sopapias here -- they are famous for them. Attaching a picture of them. Some folks like honey, some powdered sugar and my niece likes butter and honey. You can tell they make them from scratch and they are huge. Hope you enjoy them. The Pantry is one of our favorite places when we r in Santa Fe. The service is top notch and the atmosphere is relaxed and homey. You might have to wait for a table, but it will be worth it. Enjoy!

    We saw a crowd waiting the day before so we had to try it. Was told a 30 minute wait, but was much less. Great service. Ordered, food came relatively quickly. The cinnamon roll was huge - we shared - and very sweet! My breakfast "sandwich" was just ok, kinda mushy and not a lot of flavor. I got without chiles - so I think it may depend on this. Mom ordered the steak, gravy on side - came with gravy on it. I think they wanted to hide that it was not crispy but chewy. I don't know that we will be back in Santa Fe again, but if we are - looking for somewhere else for breakfast!

    Smothered burrito (chile sauce in the side)
    Kneesee P.

    Great service. Love to stop here when in Santa Fe! I ordered the smothered burrito with bacon. I LOVE the chile when in NM. Unfortunately, my palate doesn't tolerate high heat, so I have to get the chile smothering on the side. The chile had an excellent flavor. The amount of cheese in the heavily stuffed burrito was parfecto!

    Traditional breakfast with Carne Adovada
    Dee S.

    We travelled from California to Nevada, then California, Nevada again, then Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado and back to New Mexico in the last week and this was our favorite meal of the entire week! Delicious Blue Corn Pancakes, Huevos Rancheros, and breakfast with Carne Adovada! Very cute place a super friendly staff.

    Excellent breakfast. Good breakfast options. Highly recommend if you're walking around Santa Fe. Been there a few times and they are always busy. I imagine weekends you might have to wait for a table.

    Coffee!!!!
    Rhett C.

    This is a true fast-paced diner, and it nails the experience every time. The food is consistently spot on, the service is exactly what you'd expect fast, friendly, and your coffee cup is never empty. But also...there is no rush...you can take your time!!!! This is the OG location, so it feels like a local hangout, and the ambiance matches. Classic New Mexico diner vibes all the way. We go every time we're in town, always for breakfast. Whether it's just two eggs over easy or something more complex, it always hits the mark. And the cinnamon buns? Worth a stop on their own. Seriously good. If you're visiting Santa Fe, don't skip this place. 10/10.

    This place reminded me of a, restaurant with the same name in Pueble, CO. The service and the food were both very good. I'm partial to "mom and pip" restaurants where the people work very hard.

    If you're in Santa Fe and not ordering the tamale plate at Tres Colores, you're doing it wrong…read more This dish is the definition of New Mexico done right--two perfectly steamed tamales, one smothered in rich red chile and the other in savory green chile. The red has that deep, earthy flavor with just the right kick, while the green brings a brighter, roasted heat that balances everything out. Together? That classic "Christmas style" combo that hits on every level. The masa was soft and flavorful (not dry like you get at some places), and the filling was generous and well-seasoned. The sides sealed the deal--fluffy Spanish rice, hearty beans, and a fresh, crisp salad that cut through the richness perfectly. Portion size was solid, presentation was clean, and everything tasted like it was made with care--not rushed, not watered down for tourists. Service was quick, friendly, and exactly what you want when you're trying to keep a night moving. Authentic, satisfying, and exactly what you hope for when you come to Santa Fe. I'd order this again without hesitation!!!

We thought we might have got the closing time mixed up so once we found a parking spot, I went over to ask. They said they were moving all of the tables so that they could clean the concrete pathway. We asked if it was OK we sat outside still with our dog and they said that was fine. They moved us to the other side of the pillar which we originally didn't mind but then quickly realized there's no lighting there. So we were eating dinner in a very dim lit area. After reading the reviews, we were excited to try the fish tacos, tamales, and fresh chips and salsa. Unfortunately, none of these really were superstar standouts for us. The blackened fish didn't have a ton of flavor. I found myself searching for a salsa that had a little bit of salt and flavor to spruce up the fish taco. I ate one of the three and my husband ate the remaining. The tamales tasted fresh and the ratio of protein to masa was great. We ate the tamale mostly without the mole sauce, which we didn't really care for. The salsa and chips that came out as an appetizer were fine. The salsas were different and flavorful. I wish that when they dropped off the different salsas (which they do on a rotation) they would have explained what each one was.

On the food side, Palacio cooks their red Chile for over 8 hours, making it in my opinion one of the best and most flavorful in Santa Fe. Most other places I get Christmas style, but here, the red Chile is just perfect. On this trip, we had a smothered breakfast burrito and enchiladas suizas.

I have been coming here for thirty-five years, and it blows my mind that after more than three decades, it keeps reaching new heights while fiercely retaining everything that made it legendary in the first place: the unbeatable high quality, the remarkably affordable prices, and those effortlessly cool, historic vibes. It is a rare, beautiful gem that refuses to compromise its soul, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. This visit was extra special because my fiancé was a first-timer, and he was instantly converted, falling just as madly in love with the magic of this place as I did decades ago. On this particular afternoon, the lines were wrapped around the courtyard and the energy was absolutely electric. It was hella busy, which is a testament to how beloved this institution remains. Rather than waiting for a table, we decided to grab our food to go--a move that turned out to be pure perfection. We took our feast over to the historic plaza square, found a spot to sit, and ate under the shade of the trees while listening to live music drift through the air. With a beautiful, cool mountain breeze rustling through the plaza, it was the most quintessential, magical Santa Fe experience you could ever ask for. As for the food, it remains an absolute revelation. I ordered my enchiladas "Christmas" style, split right down the middle with both their famous, deeply savory red chile and their bright, perfectly spiced green chile. The first bite instantly reminded me why no one else can touch what they do here. The blue corn tortillas were tender, the cheese was perfectly melted, and the chiles carried that robust, earthy, authentic New Mexico heat that warms you from the inside out. It is a flawless execution of culinary tradition. To be able to deliver that level of world-class, scratch-made perfection at a price point that still feels incredibly generous is nothing short of a miracle. Whether you sit in their enchanting, labyrinthine dining rooms or pack it up for a picnic on the square, The Shed is the absolute pinnacle of the Santa Fe spirit.

It did comes with a side of rice which I felt was under seasoned. The service was slow. I walked in around 1pm and door was locked. I was surprised to find them close even though online says that they are open at 11am that day. I checked on google and it was suppose to be open. I called and they said that they are open but waiting for alcohol to be delivered at 3pm. Did they assume that every customer coming in is ordering alcohol? As far as I understand this is a restaurant that serves food and alcohol and not a bar. Shortly after my arrival, there was a large tour with 12 people showed up. I could see that the waiter was a bit flustered because he also had to tend to other customer as well as the tour. I guess this is where the tour take people for authentic taco experience. In my opinion these are more toned down gringo tacos. My taco didn't come with a side of sauce like everyone else. I also noticed that the tour all received a side of salsa which I didn't. I'm not sure if the waiter forgot. I had to flag down the waiter a few time because he also forgot my drink. I also ordered an agua Fresca watermelon and it wasn't made of real watermelon but flavor syrup from the bar. I wished I had known that it wasn't real melon. 2.5 stars for the food and 2 for service. Again food wasn't terrible, but certainly wasn't close to be the best.
