Look no further for a chill breakfast brunch spot in downtown. The huevos rancheros eggs over medium add carne adovada were delicious. The pantry has always had reliably good huevos rancheros and burritos, husband ordered the burrito and our kids had French toast and pancakes. Our server was nice and attentive. Everyone was happy. We will return!

I had a good breakfast here on my way to the Railyard El Mercado and Vladem Contemporary art museum. Cute place, good service, good food. I asked to substitute a sopapilla for the potatoes & toast.

Great service and quick delivery. The blue corn pancakes will forever have a place in my heart! I will be coming back if I am ever down in Santa Fe! Thank you from the Colorado girl!

I wasn't a big fan of Mexican food, but this is one of the restaurants in Santa Fe that changed my mind. The waiter was incredibly friendly and highly recommended their stuffed sopaipilla, one of their most popular dishes. I was skeptical but was blown away by its amazing taste, especially the spiciness. Trust me, you'll love it too! I also ordered the pistachio latte, which was equally delicious. I visited the restaurant on a Friday afternoon, and it was not too crowded. There were plenty of indoor and outdoor seats for your choice.

See mall home town breakfast pantry with traditional Mexican dishes. Very nicely decorated with local art and decor. Service was friendly and quick, lots of locals here this morning, fun to hear the banter. We both did eggs over easy with an English muffin, she had turkey sausage and grits, I had bacon and very tasty roasted baby potatoes. Can't go wrong here!

We had a most delicious brunch here a month or so ago. We were there for brunch on a 3-day weekend Sunday, and despite the town and restaurants being super busy, we didn't have to wait long for a table. The food was absolutely delicious, the restaurant is warm and cute, and the service was quick and friendly. We had a couple of bloody Mary's and a couple of house-made chile rellenos, one with green sauce and one with red. Everything was delicious. I wish we lived closer! I hope to be back someday soon.

First time at The Pantry Rio. We did not have a reservation on a Sunday at noon but were seated immediately. The staff were very friendly, order taken quickly, and food came out in about ten minutes. They have a large outdoor seating area with indoor seating as well. My steak rancheros were delicious with green chili and perfect over easy eggs. We also enjoyed the impossible burger fajitas and beef burrito. The green and red chili had fantastic flavor and were not overly spicy. Our server was very attentive and refilled drinks quickly. We would eat here again in a heartbeat with very reasonable prices for the historic area of beautiful Sante Fe. Give it a try when you are in town.

We stopped by around brunch time and it was busy. We had about a 20 min wait, but we had our done, so we needed a patio seat. Service and food was great. My girlfriend enjoyed the nanchos and my green chilie cheese burger. My burger tasted like any other burger I could anywhere else, but it wasn't bad, just your typical burger. We had a good time here because food was good, sat outside in the shade, and we had our pup chilling with us as well.

My husband, friend and I had the most amazing breakfast at The Pantry Rio! We were seated quickly on the patio, which was beautiful and so colorful. Our food came out very quickly and tasted delicious. All of us loved our food! The Sonora omelette was huge and had plenty of perfectly ripe avocado. There was plenty of all of the sides. I had a few bites of my husband's chilaquiles, which were just amazing, too. We also shared the house made cinnamon roll. It was gooey in the middle and crispy on the outside - sooooo good. Prices were very fair and service was great as well. We have no complaints and had the exact experience we were hoping for! I'd recommend this place to anyone.
