Be very careful eating here if you have food allergies. Our waitress told us she talked to the kitchen about my son’s severe nut and egg allergies. He was brought a plate with cornbread, which obviously contains egg. Then, we were told the sauce contained sesame seeds. Nope, nuts, which led to a scary reaction. So did she actually talk to the kitchen or does the kitchen not even know what ingredients are in their dishes? Either way, not ok. At this price point, it’s embarrassing for your staff to have no idea what they are serving. Maybe a shift from prioritizing customer vaccination status to training staff would be beneficial.

The food is amazing but check your bill carefully. We were charged for three meals instead of just two. The issue wasn’t resolved and we needed to get on the road. Very disappointing.

Such a great restaurant - delicious food, friendly staff, great decor! A must…..

Best, most authentic, healthy Mexican Food choices in all of Santa Fe!Hard to pic a favorite, everything was presented beautifully and absolutely delightful to the palette.When they add cheese, they add CHEESE! Fabulous melted, stringy, delightful cheese.Can you tell? I like cheese!

Had breakfast there with my wife. I had the HUEVOS BARBACOA CON CHILE D’ARBOL SALSA and my wife had the PASQUAL’S FAVORITE and both were incredible. Best breakfast we had while in the U.S. The restaurant is very neatly decorated and the waiting staff where all very friendly.

A friend insisted we visit this place to try out the chile relleno when we were passing through town. We found convenient parking in a municipal lot across the street, and walked on over to find a line out the door. We heard the host tell a couple asked of us that it would be a 45-min wait for a table, so we gave up and walked around the many shops in the area. Or walk brought us back to Pasquale’s, where there was no longer a line, but still extremely busy. I could tell by the way the host was ringing up ticket after ticket that a bunch of tables were about to turn over, so we waited it out. This is a tiny restaurant with maybe 10 tables in it, so we agreed to sit at the Community Table in the middle of the room. Great choice, as we got to visit with several interesting couples and individuals who were also visiting Santa Fe. Looking around me, I could see that all their plates were really huge, so we opted to split the Plato Primo which had some of everything we wanted to try (including the relleno.) We couldn’t decide between red or green chile sauce so we asked for both. We also got the watermelon mint feta salad which was also a huge portion. This was the perfect amount of food for the two of us, and all of it was extremely delicious! I highly recommend this place and would definitely go back.

This iconic little spot is not-to-be-missed while visiting Santa Fe. Atmospherically it has the feel of a small-town café, which it is, the observation meant in the most positive sense. The food is a New Mexican comfort-food and the servers all are so versed in New Mexican cuisine. They know the flavors and nuances-of-taste that punctuate the local cuisine and questions about the menu items really help the diner gain a lot of knowledge about New Mexico and its food. Of course, the food is great and the service is friendly and accommodating. Put this spot on your itinerary!

We enjoyed this place very much. Interesting takes on dishes you might be familiar with. We did the smoked trout hash and a smoked pastrami Ruben sandwich. Both were very good, but next time I'll tell them to go lite on the horseradish for the sandwich. Very good service, but it's really a very small place so prepare that you might have to wait a while to get in.

My order:-Bloody Mary-Mango Salad-Chile Relleno (eggs over medium)The bloody mary was just okay, nothing special. The mango salad was really good. And the Chile Relleno brunch was very tasty. I felt like the food was amongst the most expensive in the downtown Santa Fe area and it wasn’t commensurate with the quality. We either didn’t order the right things, or the hype was overblown.

This was the best meal of our visit to Santa Fe. The food was unique, carefully prepared, and delicious. The ambiance was funky and enjoyable, the servers efficient and friendly. You'll need a reservation in advance.
