Hands down the best meal we had while in New Mexico! My kids got the brisket tacos and talked about them the entire trip. Very juicy with perfectly cooked meat. My combination plate was a perfect way to try 3 different things and I had a hard time choosing my favorite. The beans were plain to some, but I loved them. The rice was better than any Mexican rice we have in Texas. We even took home our leftover sauce to use at future meals. It was really good – even my picky eater loved it. My husband had the Carne Adovada Plate. It had an incredible flavor we have never tried before. All was delicious and very reasonably priced. The mens stuffed themselves but the women took home leftovers. My daughter ordered the raspberry lemonade and really enjoyed it.

We had lunch outside at The Pantry Rio and really enjoyed the ambience—sunny but definitely a bit chilly, and we noticed there were no outdoor heaters. The wait staff was great and super attentive. We ordered the trio dip, and consider yourself warned: the red salsa is HOT! We also tried the brisket tacos, which were a little dry for our taste, and the Frito pie—good flavor, but we wished it had a bit more meat. On the plus side, the beers were nice and cold! Overall, a pleasant spot for lunch with friendly service and a great vibe.

We had an awesome brunch here. We had our dog with us so they accommodated us outside in this orb to stay warm. I had the corned beef and hash which was so tender and tasty and my hubby got the huevos rancheros. They had a good assortment of mimosas too!

This is a pretty cafeteria with attentive service. The food was average overall – the Sonora omelette leaned a bit too heavy, with the chorizo stuffing turning out to be excessively greasy. The blue corn pancakes were fun and unique, and the hash browns were nicely spiced. The decor had a classic breakfast diner charm, easy on the eye, and there are plenty of outdoor seating options to enjoy.

By far our favorite food while visiting Santa Fe. I was hesitant to go here because of some of the reviews saying their service was terrible. But we went for lunch and our server was so attentive and friendly. We were able to order quickly and got our check quickly.
We ordered the stuffed sopapilla with adovada, blue corn pancakes, sopapilla on the side, and green chili – and everything was so delicious!!!! We actually thought about coming here multiple times afterwards and regretted not doing it.
The adovada was flavorful and soft. Sopapilla was fluffy and light, corn pancakes had a great flavor and texture, green chile was spicy and flavorful.
We sat outside, and it was a somewhat overcast day, which we got lucky with because it felt comfortable sitting outside!
If we’re ever here again, we are definitely coming back!

I wanted to order Huevos Ranchero for breakfast. The waiter pushed me to order the special which he said it was like Huevos Ranchero even more exspensive 16.99! Did not like it at all. The red sauce was sweet which i didn’t like . The black beans look from a can. WillNOT go back their again.

I heard this was the best breakfast in Santa Fe, and it did not disappoint. I got a Mexican Mocha and the stuffed French Toast, and both were fabulous. The service was so friendly. I sat outside on a perfect day. I would absolutely go back.

Literally the best breakfast burrito and chicken fried steak my friend and I have ever had! I can’t recommend this place enough. The service was fast and friendly – the vibes outside were perfect – mixed music not too loud, enough space between tables, and a calm atmosphere was incredible. PLEASE COME HERE!!!

Visited on a Sunday evening with 2 guests and plenty of outdoor seating options available. Loved the decorations, ambiance, and vibe.
Service was friendly but could’ve been a little quicker/more attentive.
Food was average quality/taste. Fair prices.
-Sampler Platter of cheese quesadilla, mini chicken Chimichanga, mini brisket flautas, guac, salsa, and queso (needed seasoning)
-Side of chips
-Hatch Chile Margarita (meh)
-Cinnamon Roll (very large portion but actually didn’t care for the flavor)
Overall, a nice, easy spot for a casual bite but probably would try some other nearby options instead.
Located at a pretty busy intersection, so outdoor seating got a little noisy with traffic.
