Very knowledgeable. Very accommodating. Very tasty. Try the GF Super Seeded bread.

No separate GF menu but almost everything can be modified.

Most amazing breakfast I’ve ever eaten while traveling 🧳

Make sure to make a reservation for dinner and plan to wait at least an hour for lunch since they don’t take reservations. No worries, you can spend your wait time at the oil and vinegar store across the street!

Amazingly delicious southwestern dishes! I only got halfway through the breakfast menu before settling on the beef and eggs 🥚 dish.

Wait staff is efficient, fun atmosphere, great menu choices and a huge menu.

The waiter warned me that because of all the flour in the air, they cannot guarantee that my food would be gf. Because of all the prior good ratings I decided to try. I definitely felt a little weird after but not fully sick. Pretty good food, very busy restaurant.

Cute little place with wonderful ambiance. Staff was super knowledgable about gluten and they said almost everything on the menu was gf. They even had home made seed bread I could eat with the warm brie (so yum!) and a gf cookie for dessert!

We arrived late into town and were looking for take out. Even in the to-go box, presentation was amazing. My hubby got the grilled prime rib, I got the shredded pork shoulder wrapped in banana leaf and served with rice, corn tortilla, zucchini and a corn salad. Fabulous dinner and great baked goods too. I had a fudgey, merengue like cookie, crisp on the outside and fudgey inside. My hubby had a gluteney pastry that had a cruller look but a custard like inside. Everything was amazing!

Santa Fe’s singularly best restaurant for dinner, and the breakfast, brunch and lunch are great, too. The staff is very gluten aware, and while there are many gluten free dishes, they will guide you on items containing gluten that can be ordered prepared gluten free.

The menu is pretty much gluten free, but advising your waiter will ensure your safety.

Amazing food and service! Most things on the menu are gluten free - just ask your server. They told me that they don’t fry anything in the fryer that has wheat (I asked if they had a separate fryer and they said this). I got fried plantains.

Nothing marked on menu. Asked server about a couple entrees I was interested in and they confirmed with the kitchen. The green chile sauce is not GF, but other sauces are. Small dinning room. We had a 35 minute wait for Friday lunch.

Surprised there were fewer options from reading reviews - 2 appetizers, salads, several entrees. Safe options were limited due to no dedicated fryer so unable to have anything with a fried element. The entree I did have was fantastic though (grilled char). Server had limited knowledge of safe options but was willing to ask kitchen for guidance.

One winter evening while I was in Santa Fe for a conference, I decided to treat myself to a nice dinner at Cafe Pasquel’s. The staff was very knowledgeable and the menu was notated. Yes, it is pricey - my solo dinner with two cocktails was over $80, but felt the food, service, and general ambiance was worth the extra funds. Definitely worth a try when looking for fine dining in Santa Fe.

Would definitely recommend this place but must make reservations! My family had the mole enchiladas as well as the tacos. The pork tacos were amazing and the mole enchiladas were a popular meal. The staff was incredible and knew a lot about their food. It is a very small place though. We also had the three layer cake which tasted like a spice cake and was very delicious (probably my favorite part). Overall, the place is popular and needs reservations but the food is yummy :)

Come for the ambiance/decor; beautifully decorated, funky little place, located in the heart of downtown. Server seemed knowledgeable and caring though a bit overwhelmed with the busyness of the place. Pricey but worth it; everything we had was excellent. I had the mole enchiladas with tofu, and was pleased that tofu was an option (I am mostly vegetarian). The food all felt very healthy & fresh. Beware of long wait times; make reservations far in advance. Bustling/upbeat feel, if not a bit cramped.

This place was so good! It is a tiny place and gets packed which made me worried if items would be handled properly but I had no issues. I had a lot of items I wanted to try. The manager was awesome and great with me having a small child with me also.

While not dedicated gluten free the staff made every effort to ensure my dishes were gluten free. I am a highly sensitive celiac and did not get sick - enjoyed the salmon with cilantro rice. Very tasty food. Recommend a reservation as it is one of the most popular restaurants in Santa Fe.

Wonderful staff knowledgeable and accommodating. A lot of gluten free items already on menu, and the kitchen is well versed to avoid any cross contamination. I'm a local and it is a famous tourist spot, so a bit pricey, but it felt great to eat in comfort of people well trained and delicious food.

We went on s Sunday morning and had to wait 45 minutes but it was worth the wait!! I had the Huevos rancheros with red sauce and scrapped the dish clean. Delicious corn tortillas. Felt fine after eating here and I have celiac. Enjoy! As a bonus, while you wait for a table, cross the street to visit the Santa Fe Oil and Vinegar store. Really great finds and gifts to bring home there.

The waitress was very experienced with special diets and so careful with order. I am gluten, dairy, corn and soy free. The waitress knew the ingredients in the dishes and suggested substitutes. I had plaintain chips with a custom-order guacamole. Then a delightful salmon with cilantro sauce and veggies. I loved my meal. I'd highly recommend for anyone but especially for those on a special diet.

I had the spring salad which comes with a grilled polenta cake. The chef prepared the cake in a separate pan for me and with separate utensils. It was a bit tiny to make it a full dinner meal but it was delicious and more importantly, I didn't get sick!

Tiny, 50-seat restaurant focused exclusively on Southwest food using fresh, locally sourced, GMO-free food. The tiny kitchen made me apprehensive, but I'm glad I took the risk. Corn flour tortillas and fresh-made dishes meant about 25% to 30% of the menu were available to eat without accommodations. Everything was delicious. If they could find space in their kitchen for a dedicated fryer, the tortilla chips would be an option as well. Reasonably priced.
