    Menu August 2025

    Friendly service and delicious food in the heart of Santa Fe. We ordered a variety of different things from the menu. I got the Enchilada suizas, which was the special for the day, my boyfriend got the Chile Relleno Plate, and others got the frito pie, enchiladas, or a salad. Mine came with refried beans and others came with pinto beans. Both were good but I liked the refried beans the best. Portions were pretty big, some people shared, some had leftovers, and those of us that finished our plates left very full. There were different areas to sit including a couple rooms and a back patio. We were in the side room that was a little more plain, but the other room really had that New Mexico feel and vibe. We came for lunch on a Sunday afternoon and they were easily able to accommodate our group of 7.

    Green chile beef stew

    Do NOT sleep on the beef green chile stew - omg! A warm tortilla on the side, so so delicious! A little bit of a bite due to the green chile. The salad as well as chips, salsa, and guacamole were excellent. The service was wonderful and the ambiance was relaxed while being lively. The colors of the cafe are beautiful yellows, reds, blues. We felt very welcomed and our drinks arrived quickly. Quality of the food is excellent.

    So far, this is the best Mexican cuisine in New Mexico in my limited NM dining experience. My spouse and I had lunch and ordered the Chef Salad and the Enchilada Plate with baked chicken. The Chef Salad was made with fresh ingredients and was a nice, ample portion. The Enchiladas were crafted with yellow corn tortillas filled with baked chicken, cheddar cheese, and onions, all generously topped with a rich red chile sauce. Absolutely delicious! The restaurant's decor was authentic and unique, fitting perfectly with its location in an artist town. The restrooms were clean, and the service was excellent. A wonderful find!

    July 22nd 2024 walked a few blocks from the plaza Eastward to the Palacio Cafe. Very busy place at lunch Wife had a $16.64 chicken enchilada with corn tortilla. Two corn tortillas with chicken cheddar cheese onions topped with red chili sauce just the way she likes it hot and spicy. I had the $13 Rubin sandwich it comes on marble rye bread thousand Island dressing Swiss cheese corned beef and sauerkraut. Wife would normally order this but has an aversion to sauerkraut I would usually not order this as not fond of marble rye bread. However the corned beef was juicy tender and so outstanding the best reuben sandwich I have ever tasted so good that I overlooked the marble rye bread. Would come back here again in an instant for the reuben sandwich alone. my wife can even have some and I would eat her sauerkraut

    While vacationing in Santa Fe within a few hours of arrival I walked into Palacio Cafe for dinner . The owners were present and waited on me and other guest . The owner and his wife are very kind and nice . From my observation they are well respected as there was a couple who was on my flight . They stopped by for dinner and to visit the owners. The food was really delicious and fresh, sauces made from scratch . The jalapeno margarita was top notch the best I've had . I've traveled to many places. By far the best . The ambiance is nice and clean and is definitely Santa Fe vibe .

    The food was AMAZING. I sat in the back outdoor area. It's very colorful and inviting and the food was just so so good. Cannot recommend it enough.

    Wonderful Santa Fe hospitality and ambiance! Good service and great menu. Plus they don't hold back on the tequila in their margaritas.

    The service was great. I did order a club sandwich in Santa Fe and it didn't disappoint. My wife ordered more traditional and gives the hominy and beans high marks.

    Enchilada Plate
    Adele L.

    We came in at 3 pm. It's slow, not much costumers, however it took quite a while to get ordered, served, and asked for the check. The service is slow however warm and friendly. The food is excellent. We had Cuban Rueben and Enchilada Plate. Both tasted amazing. The price is very reasonable as well.

    Taos sandwich and Palacio Club sandwich
