Cafe Pasqual's - Santa Ana

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!

Whimsical interior delicious food!!! This place was highly recommended to me by a family friend and clearly beloved by people. I was able to make it in twice for lunch during my long weekend in Santa Fe. The Oaxacan Tamale was delicious and a perfect lunch sized portion, then the second day I had the roasted BLT (pictured) and this was hands down the best BLT I’ve ever had. We weren’t able to dine here for dinner, as we had reservations elsewhere, but breakfast and lunch are both first come first served highly worth the wait!

The food was delicious and the service was great! We waited 40 minutes for our table and once we ordered the wait wasn’t very long. Yes, the space is small, but they make it work. We enjoyed the decorations and atmosphere. I had the chorizo scrambled with black beans and it was on point. My wife had the Japanese monsoon salad and she was very pleased!

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: -**** Mary -Mango Salad -Chile Relleno (eggs over medium) The **** 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.
