Ona road trip from Dallas and of course found this gem on Yelp! Portion sizes were phenomenal. Food was delicious. I was a tiny bit worried that it may be too spicy, as I know New Mexican food can pack some heat! It was the right amount of heat, for sure! Presentation was great too! The restaurant is bigger than it looks, but we still had to wait for a bit for a table. Service was great, even better if you are fluent in Spanish. Definitely don't miss! read more

What a great little spot! The food was phenomenal, everything we ordered tasted fresh and delicious. We went on a Wednesday evening and were surprised to see a live performer singing oldies, beautifully. Think rain drops keep falling on my head, and the crowd singing along, so fun! The restaurant seems to have a loyal customer base cause the waiters seemed to know a lot of people. Crowd was a mix of locals and some tourists. Service was polite and efficient. What we got" Smothered veggie burrito (filled with fresh veggies, christmas sauce, and cheesy goodness, so so good) - 5/5 Crispy chicken wrap (must do if you want a change from eating Mexican food). The curly fries were the best we've ever had 5/5 Brisket enchiladas - 5/5 Spicy Mango margarita - 4/5 House margarita - 4,5/5 Don't miss this gem! read more

Reviews were great, in practice, not note worthy. Service okay, food was okay. The sides lacked flavor. Main course was bland and tasteless. My wife was very disappointed in her food. Hopefully the main restaurant is better... read more

This cozy restaurant reminds me of the old school diners of days gone by. I was a little surprised by their menu and by the stellar reviews it received! While the reviews were very good, it was difficult to navigate the menu. I wanted to know more about the restaurant. Perhaps a little history on the front page of the menu. I also wanted to know more about the food. All of it seemed thrown together! Initially there was no music, then they turned on the music Restraints should have a theme and I left feeling confused! The Reuben sandwich and the taco salad were good! I was surprised the beans were not refries but they tasted better that way! read more

Pantry Restaurant - Counter seating - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Santa Fe, New Mexico

Stopped in the middle of the afternoon. Service wasgreat and food was just what we needed. Thank you!!

The Pantry is a good little breakfast and lunch spot where the Santa Fe locals eat. I had the pancakes, breakfast potatoes, and a side of bacon. The pancakes weren't anything special and were just fine; I didn't finish them (3/5). The breakfast potatoes were cooked perfectly and had a surprise smoky flavoring that I really enjoyed (5/5). The side of bacon comes with two pieces and was thick-cut and flavorful (4/5). I shared a cinnamon roll with my other half, and it blew us away. It only comes in one size, which is large, and is completely delicious (5/5). Is definitely shareable. Overall, a yummy breakfast I enjoyed. I'm looking forward to trying other things on the menu in the future. read more

French Toast Twas delicious!! Magnificent presentation! The stuffed pancake was good as hell! The bacon is a prefect level of chewy, crispy, salty goodness. The Sausage is a little juicy, but a 9/10! I ordered my Burrito with Chorizo and Adova! The green chili was very tasty. I dug right into my breakfast burrito and relished the textures and flavors. This place is amazing, make the time to stop and enjoy a meal! read more

If you like corned beef hash, this is some of the best!! We have been several times when we visit Santa Fe and just love this place! There can be a wait, but it is worth it! We have enjoyed everything we have been served here, the corned beef is some of the best I've had...and I've had a lot! The place is kind of small but the service has always been excellent!! We will continue to return on our visits!! read more

Honestly Pantry Restaurant's food surprised me quite a bit! I didn't expect to like New Mexican cuisine because why not just eat Mexican food instead but this place was pretty great. Came on a weekday with a party of two and waited around 10 minutes for a table which is not too bad. We ordered right when we sat down and the food came out quickly which was great! - Brisket Enchilada - I thought the brisket would be quite dry but the meat itself was actually pretty moist which I appreciate. The sauce was a bit spicy which I did not expect. The star of the dish, however, was most definitely the rice which was probably the best Mexican rice I've had - it was slightly spicy and felt like it could be a dish alone. - Fish Tacos - I liked this dish more out of the two as they packed it with so many different ingredients. For the first time, it felt like this was a taco that was very worth eating as it took many bites to finish and I appreciated that they double tortilla-ed it so that the "stuffing" would not fall out as easily. The salsa was also amazing too, I don't know what they put in here but it was great. Again, the rice was mind-blowing. Overall, pretty solid eat in Santa Fe and I can definitely understand why it takes the first spot as the most reviewed restaurant in the City. Also when you first enter into the restaurant it looks like there's going to be no seats but don't worry, there's a whole section in the back full of family-style tables. read more

In business for over 75 years! That itself is a reason to visit. The restaurant features a lot of beautiful & local art and photography. I always appreciate that. The service is warm and there's a lot of locals who are regulars which just confirms how great this place is. Serving breakfast (all day), traditional & New Mexican, sandwiches, char-grilled burgers, comfort foods and New Mexican traditions. I couldn't pass up the hard tacos because they happen to be my favorite Mexican treat. Perfectly crispy, both the beef and chicken were very flavorful, rice and beans were cooked just right, and the salsa offered a nice kick. Come see for yourself why they've been around for so many years. read more

Pantry Restaurant - Three hard tacos (beef & chicken) ~ simple perfection. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Santa Fe, New Mexico

Holy cats. This is the place to get breakfast in Santa Fe! Service was as friendly and personable as possible. We were sitting there watching the staff greet and talk to all the locals...Well, then they started talking to us like we were locals. Water and coffee filled constantly. Just couldn't be better service. And the food, also excellent. Had the breakfast sandwich. Oh so good. Bread was good. Meat was good. Just so good. If you are in Santa Fe, go here for your first breakfast. Then you can schedule in your next visit. read more

A modest cafe with great menu items. Had turkey for dinner and son ordered the brisket taco. Both were excellent. Friendly staff was efficient and food came quickly. Can't wait to try their breakfast. read more

LOVED THIS SPOT! Our flight into Albuquerque was super delayed and when we landed around 7:30 all we wanted was some yummy Mexican food. I had seen the Pantry and desperately wanted to try, but saw online that they closed at 8:30PM. We thought that we'd give it a try and thankfully they actually close at 9PM! This is a true locals watering hole. I think they even call it the meeting place. It's no frills, seats a ton of people and franks out some awesome food. The food here was absolutely delicious. I got the hard shell tacos (2 beef and 1 chicken) and my SO got the combination plate. The food came out so quickly and the hostess who took our order was so friendly and helpful when it came to deciding what we should get. Such a great find and we will definitely be back. read more

Usually, breakfast is pretty good here, today wasn't one of those days. We sat in the front of the restaurant which is like being in Grand Central at rush-hour. So much noise very poor acoustics and the tables are tight. The servers were nice as was the person who sat us. My huevos dish was OK. But the French toast that was sent to the table was way below par. It was two slices of rainbow bread that were cut on the angle and that's it for over $12. If it was Texas toast, or what a little fruit on the plate I could accept it. But two slices of rainbow bread, not acceptable. I wanted to send it back but the other person on my table declined and was satisfied with it, or so it seemed. I like to go to local places to support local talent but when you're getting ripped off like this, it's hard to even think about going to places like that. read more

Being one of the most rated restaurants in the area led us to select this spot. The service was practically non-existent as we were tucked in a corner of the place and waited quite a bit before actually seeking out our server. The food was fine and the ambiance was ok. Would we return? Probably not read more

Overall it doesn't get better than this if you're looking for a homey New Mexican meal on a night out. Unusually for New Mexican restaurants, the red chile is the way to go here. Incredibly deep flavor, not the stuff that's "just hot" and nothing else. I'd also recommend ordering sopapillas for desert. They're every bit as good here as El Pinto's used to be before it went downhill. Portions are satisfying, cost is reasonable. Servers were positive, friendly and helpful. read more

We didn't play our dining hand well on our first evening in Santa Fe--a Saturday--neglecting to secure reservations anywhere. After we struck out at one restaurant whose dining area was closing at 7:30 (seriously, WTF, Yamas Greek Rotisserie), it was the Pantry to the rescue. We knew it was an old Santa Fe classic, and we mostly found out why. I suppose a carne adovado plate is about as basic as it gets in New Mexico. As a visitor, I don't have any real experience with the dish and no real comparators, but it was for damn sure a big plate of delicious stick-to-your-ribs comfort food. Just some pork slow-cooked in a red chile sauce, rice, beans, and tortillas, each of which just about maxed out the quality given the simple items and relatively modest surroundings and prices. In contrast to the weird recent one-star review about the servers having a "dead look in their eyes" (this guy automatically dishes out one star on Yelp if staff doesn't gush over him and kiss his pinkie ring; check his Yelp oeuvre if you dare), we received attentive, engaging, and friendly service. From a decor-and-atmosphere standpoint, the Pantry is diner-basic and not all that distinctive inside compared its Instagram-ready mid-century-western exterior; on a Saturday evening, it was mostly Latino families and couples having a casual night out. Four-stars-plus. read more

One of the best meals in Santa Fe! I love chilaquiles and order any chance I can. These were incredible. We split the blue corn cinnamon pancakes and wow. Just wow! This was a little off the beaten path, but well worth it. Service was great. Lots of locals. Just wish I could get this breakfast closer to home! read more

This place has been an institution in Santa Fe for some time and for great reason. It's got fabulous New Mexican food and the inside of the diner's sunny and welcoming with pictures of the surrounding area. Service is friendly and attentive. Here are some dishes I really enjoyed: -- Grilled chicken green chile cheese sandwich with curly fries: if you want a break from more typical New Mexican fare (and I never do), this is really one of the best sandwiches I've ever eaten. It's so balanced, spicy, yet tender chicken. -- Green chile smothered pork enchiladas with pinto beans and Mexican rice: This hit the spot. I can never get enough green chile, and the pork's tender. --Green chili pork stew: really tender pork, punchy green chile, some other veg -- this is excellent. read more

This place was hopping when we showed up on a Sunday morning. Was told we'd have a 15 minute wait but the turnaround was much quicker and we were seated within five minutes. Got the smothered breakfast burrito with chorizo and a side of pantry potatoes. it was huge and delicious. This was the first time that I ever got breakfast potatoes, that I didn't need to add ketchup or hot sauce. They were flavorful as is. The hostess and server were friendly and service was quick. Would definitely come here again. read more

Pantry Restaurant - Chilaquiles with chicken - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Santa Fe, New Mexico

The Pantry never disappoints. I usually stick with my favorite New Mexican dish- Chile Relleno, Christmas and will even eat it for breakfast. The batter is perfect, no too heavy. The sauce is medium but I grew up eating green/red chile so it may be hot for some. My son loves the giant asada burrito so much he begs me to bring one home in the ice chest (it's a 7 hour drive)! My husband is a chef and is hard to impress, he can't get enough of the green chile stew. They have a ton of options for anyone. The staff is great. There is often a wait during ski season but it's typically quick. read more

Very poor customer service and queue time. We are a family of 4. We checked in before other people and families but they got tables first. Even one family was not on the check in list but they were seated before us. We waited for a little over an hour. When we finally sat down my dad was given a very small water glass .when our food came it was bland and mid at best. The only redeeming factor was the atmosphere it was unique and interesting. read more

We came for a late breakfast and decided to sit at the counter right across from the kitchen. It was really fun to watch them pump out so much food so quickly. We had fun figuring out all the different dishes coming out of the window. Each one of them huge in size. If you go home hungry you're not doing it right. I had a omelette and pantry fries. Huge portion and hit the spot. Our coffee was never empty and the service was great. Super attentive and friendly. We will definitely be back next time we are in town. read more

This was a great lunch stop when I visited MeowWolf this week. I was looking for a local Mexican lunch and this could not have been more ideal. I ordered the Chile relleno with red and green sauce. It was honestly the best I've ever had. Perfect spice level, nice melty cheese without being overwhelming, light batter, and a nice, mild smoky flavor to the pepper. The beans and rice were also good. Service was super fast and friendly. I would definitely come back here again! read more

One of my favorite restaurants growing up, hands down is still one of the best in Santa Fe for Spanish/Mexican cuisine. Took a little trip to Northern NM this weekend and had to stop by the Pantry for a stuffed sopaipilla. On this visit I ordered my stuffed sopaipilla with brisket and smothered with Christmas. One word: Delicious. Our table also had the chips with salsa, queso, and guacamole which was a great way to start. The staff always has great hospitality and we always have great conversations. If you're new to Santa Fe, I definitely recommend this restaurant. The Pantry has a great menu selection, delicious food, and excellent service. read more

They don't take reservations so when you arrive hurry in to give them your name and get a buzzer - at 10:30am on Tuesday we had a 15 minute wait for a table for two. We were happy with the food and the service (although our waiter seemed overworked/maybe the restaurant is understaffed). The vibes are very "mom and pop" diner in the OG location. read more
