Food here is something you are looking for when coming to Santa Fe! Yummy red & green chile dishes available. I enjoyed the huevos rancheros and cup of coffee. Made perfectly and very flavorful. Not hot that it burned, but spicy flavor that was rich & delicious. Service was friendly & helpful. It's a small, but cute little place right in the heart of Santa Fe. I would return read more

Delicious home made food in a casual setting. Very sweet family run restaurant where they care about their customers and offer great if not fancy food. One of the best chicken enchiladas in town. read more

Absolutely delicious. As we were looking at the menu outside, the owner came out and sold us on the menu. I had the chicken fajitas, and the seasoning was so good. The chicken was so moist. My husband got the beef enchilada plater and it was beyond amazing. This is my first time in New Mexico and I'm so happy. read more

Cute cafe, very homey, with lots of New Mexico flair. The menu is small but the fare is tasty.

Incredible food, cozy ambiance, great prices, and an overall wonderful experience. Smaller overall menu, but every single choice is worth it. read more

Best red chili. I am a native of New mexico. My Grandmother made huevos ranchers every morning of my life. This tiny beautiful restaurant has the best huevos I have ever had.(sorry grandma). Will visit every time I'm on my way to Albuquerque. read more

We got the French toast and the breakfast place and it was phenomenal. Great service too. Will be back next time we're in town

I have to say, this was one of my favorite meals in Santa Fe. The service was a bit off but the restaurant manager was kind enough to come out and apologize for the delay in food preparation timing... but beyond this I solidly stand by 5 stars. The green chili (which is how I judge restaurants in New Mexico!) was outstanding. A surprise for me was how good their red chile was too! Also, don't miss their homemade chips, salsa and guacamole... also winners! read more

My family and I came on a Wednesday morning early and were pleased to find the restaurant fairly empty still. The street was very pretty and the interior of the restaurant was also quaint. I ordered the Smothered Veggie Burrito and I was not disappointed. This thing is mighty but the taste is the best thing about it. 10/10 would come again! read more

Came here because of the reviews, but I was not impressed with the food. The enchiladas suizas were just ok, the rice was bland a, and the refried beans looked as if they would be delicious, but once I tasted them they were burnt and if you've had burnt beans you know how bad the taste is. The beans were burnt at the initial cooking of dry beans and so it ruins the whole pot. We also had chips with guacamole and salsa, it was ok. Quesadilla with chicken was plain as can be and served with French fries. The smothered burrito with red chili sauce was also pretty bland and it had beans which also tasted bad. I would not go back. read more

Such a respite, hanging out at this restaurant! After strolling Canyon Road on a hot day, their homemade chips, salsa, guacamole, and lemonade was just what we needed. While the guacamole was just okay and the lemonade a little too sweet, the chips and salsa more than made up for it and the whole experience as un-rushed and relaxing. Got one of the two tables outside on the street. Played cards for hours. read more

Palacio Cafe - Sandwiches Near Me - Santa Fe, New Mexico

Palacio is a delicious little restaurant just steps off the Plaza in Santa Fe. We went for breakfast and would absolutely recommend it. I had the pancakes, which were fluffy and a good texture, and then a side of hash browns. The latter were crispy but not overdone. Many restaurants either don't cook them enough or go too far; Palacio did them perfectly. My husband had the french toast with a side of bacon and he said they were a 5/5. The service was friendly and professional, and the entrees came quickly. Next time we're in Santa Fe we'll be returning! read more

Palacio cafe has great reviews and it's not far off of the square in Santa Fe so we stopped in for lunch. It was busy but we were able to grab the last table and avoided a wait. It's definitely a popular spot and I wasn't sure what to get so I went with the chicken enchiladas. Unfortunately it wasn't that good. My plate was drowning in way too much cheese and sauce and it made everything kind of blend together making the tortilla really soggy. I think a lot less cheese or sauce on the side and definitely a bigger plate would help. My friend ordered the tamales and let me try a bite - they were much better! In hindsight I think I ordered wrong which was my mistake, but I definitely recommend not getting the enchiladas. read more

Palacio Cafe - Chicken Enchilada Plate - not the best - Sandwiches Near Me - Santa Fe, New Mexico

Totally, and absolutely, underrated. The place is pretty humble looking, a cute atmosphere with colorful walls and decor. In the sunshine, it probably looks twice as good. However, my family and I were staying during a storm. The food made up for the lack of atmosphere. I got the fish tacos and a flan for desert! I was not disappointed whatsoever with my meal. The fish and pineapple pico were plenty, and the flan was delicious and definitely homemade. This place has a super cute homemade charm that someone may look for when visiting but wanting to get away from the plaza. 10/10! read more

What a cute patio restaurant. From the outside it does not look very special, but the outdoor seating was so nice. We started with chips and salsa. The chips were homemade and crispy. We tried the enchilada with Christmas style sauce. It was served with beans and pozole.. The enchilada was excellent and the portion was large enough for us to split. All the servers were so attentive, and we had several. They were committed to ensuring we were taken care of. We ended with an order of flan. It was so good. The custard was creamy and smooth , with just a hint of caramel. Their Hibiscus iced tea was perfect on a warm day. One of the chefs came out to check on us. He was so proud of what he created and beamed with pride when we shared with him how much we enjoyed our lunch. We had a wonderful lunch. read more

I feel like this is our go-to when we're in Santa Fe. Cute and intimate place with sweet people. Their lattes and mocha are to die for! I got the breakfast tacos and my husband got the Huevos rancheros. The salsa alone is spectacular! Eggs were cooked and seasoned well. Veggies were fresh and crisp. Tortillas were light and fluffy. This place nails authentic New Mexican cuisine! One of our favorite places to dine! read more

We were at The plaza looking for a good, reasonable restaurant. Day of the Dead, 5:30, the traffic guy recommended the Shed. it was a 3.5 hour wait for a table. We kept walking and lucked into Palacio Cafe.OMG everything was amazing. We began with chips, salsa and guac. I said I didn't want it- didn't want to overeat, but hubby ordered a margarita (YUM!! PS I love them in Mexico , but haven't had a domestic one I cared for) and wanted chips. The salsa was made with roasted peppers. I could have eaten it with a spoon! Same with the guac, which very much reminded me of Mexico - creamy with lots of tomatoes and the right touch of salt and spices. We shared the Chile Relleno plate (beans, pazole and maybe the best CR I've ever tasted! It was like a pie, with delicious tender chilled, cream inside, a light batter and a somewhat crispy tender cheese over it. We also split the chicken fajitas and everything was perfect. The onions and red peppers were sweet, grilled perfectly, a little crispy parts, and not at all oily. I must say the refried beans with whole beans were incredibly creamy, tender, perfectly cooked. The little flour tortillas were homemade. So then... yup, we had to try the homemade flan. Highly recommended but only if you've got someone willing to share. Love this place!!! read more

Arrived at 10:30am, did not receive our meal until 11:30. No one checked on us, 90% of guests arriving after us were served. I inquired about our meal only to be asked what I ordered. What??? Never again. Just say no. Food was ok. read more

This was the very first restaurant we visited in our Santa Fe stint... Brunch time! And first time sampling New Mexico style cuisine... We did a breakfast burrito, Christmas-style (half green, half red, on the side). It was pretty good. I can't say we're big fans of this style of cuisine. But well-prepared food should be appreciated whether you're a fan or not. Nice brunch experience. read more

Whether you are visiting the area or just passing through, this place is a great lunch stop! A shady quiet back patio is the perfect place to stretch your legs (pet friendly too!). The TKY was amazing and if you love caramelized onions - this is your sandwich. We also had the steak tacos and margaritas. Everything was great and the wait staff was very friendly! Would definitely come back. read more

We were looking for a place to have dinner & The Palacio was highly rated & just a short walk from our hotel. After we called to confirm they were dog friendly, we headed over. It is a small & welcoming restaurant. Our waiter was very friendly & helpful. I knew that I wanted Chile Rellenos, but the menu showed that it came with parole, which the waiter confirmed had pork in it. I told him I was vegetarian so he offered to swap in rice instead. The food was amazing! The guacamole was good, with little chunks of avocado. The Chile Rellenos were delicious! After we got back to the hotel, we were talking about what we wanted to do for breakfast & we both wanted Huevos Rancheros. I looked up best Huevos Rancheros in Santa Fe & The Palacio was at the top of that list!! So we went back the next morning. The Huevos Rancheros were spectacular, eggs cooked perfectly to order, fruit cup was fresh, and the flour tortilla was so good that I got a dozen to-go. Our waiter for breakfast was also very friendly. Highly recommend The Palacio!!!!! read more

We took our visiting kids and families to Palacio for dinner last night and it was wonderful - as usual. Great food, welcoming owner/chef, just a great, great time for all of us. The new, larger space is lovely, decorated with baskets and our favorite image of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Thank you, Damian and Maria! read more

My wife and I were visiting A friends studio in Santa Fe 4/18/26 we fortunately stumbled upon Palacio's Cafe. and took the table out front. When we ordered drinks the waiter politely informed that they weren't allowed to serve alcohol in the front but then directed us to a cute patio in the back. we felt very comfortable there with our dog. We ordered and my wife ordered a cup of Pozole with her meal not knowing that they give you a dryer version of this with the plates. The food and drinks were fantastic right down to the chips and salsa. Simlpe south west cuisine with flavors that are authentic and made with love. The menu is not extensive but you could through a dart at it and be more then happy with anything you hit. We were in Santa Fe for two days and ate at Palacio's both of them. We had a variety of their choices and absolutely loved every one. If your looking for real down home southwest fair try this place. Its like eating at Grandma's kitchen. read more

Where to eat when you're hungry at 3:05pm in Santa Fe near the Plaza? The Plaza hotel suggested this spot and it was just terrific. Our server, a local resident Michael, was very helpful and polite. And our meal was just right! It feels like a genuine and local dining spot. Photos: They don't look great, sorry. My excuse .... "because of the sun directly above shining through the red fabric umbrella" shading this great meal ... Salad and a sandwich never tasted so good! read more

We were looking for new places to try while in town. This place was close to our stay so we walked over to give it a try. My husband had the chicken enchiladas and I had cheese chili relleno. We split the chips, salsa, and guacamole. I had a Hornitos margarita. They have a hidden back patio that is dog friendly, which I knew about from other reviews. Everything is on the pricier side but everything was tasty. Service was quick. The food came out super fast. read more

Loved this place. The people were so friendly and attentive. The margarita was delicious. Green chili enchiladas and the burger with green chili's were outstanding. Even the chips and salsa would make me go back to this place. I will always stop here when visiting Santa Fe. read more

We stayed at a nearby hotel and walked here for breakfast. We ate lunch here several years ago during a prior visit to SF. My wife had a pancake and bacon. Good, not great. I had the smothered burrito with the "Christmas" sauce (both red & green chili gravy)...sausage instead of bacon. It was really, really good. Spicy, but not too much. The fresh OJ was also superb!! Excellent service and fresh, tasty food at fair prices. What more can you ask for?? Glad these guys survived COVID. read more

Cute place. Great service. I had the best burrito ever!! I highly recommend you give it a try.

While visiting Santa Fe, we went to several highly rated restaurants, but Palacio ended up being our favorite. Great service, including a visit from the owner. Delicious chili sauces and mole. The margaritas were a tad weak but the food made up for it. Would go again if my holiday hadn't ended. Good for a date or family meal. read more

We're back in Santa Fe and we've eaten here 3 times in 5 days. Still the best restaurant in town. The owner is a former employee of The Shed; this place beats the Shed. read more

Such a unassuming, simple spot with a simple menu but everything was so fresh, homemade, and incredibly flavored. Tamale Plate ($15) - Never had a sweeter, fresher tamale with corn masa dough or more deeply spiced red sauce. Green Chile Stew ($9) - an unexpected winner, so savory and amazing. Perfect amount of kick from the green chiles. The owner (?) came up to us and explained how everything was fresh and made in house. He seemed very passionate about his cooking (as he should be)! read more
