The Pantry Rio

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.

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.

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!

stopped in for lunch. A bowl of green chili stew and a club sandwich. Both very very tasty. We always return and will always recommend.

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.

The Pantry--- always great food! Big portions, you could make 2 meals from one order you take to go. I enjoy their Reuben Sandwichand their meatloaf plate.

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.

Decided to try this place while in downtown Santa Fe after seeing reviews. There is really no parking. If you're lucky you might get one of the few street parking spots otherwise you'll have to go to a public parking lot. We were seated quickly and a server came to get our drink order. He couldn't understand me when I asked if Coke was a fountain drink or a can and he just walked off. A short while later another server came and helpedI ordered the 3 crispy tacos with beans and rice. I got two chicken and one beef. The wife got the chicken quesadilla. I'll start by saying they do not skimp on the meat in either the tacos or quesadillas. That being said it's not very flavorful. After my first bite what literally came to my mind was this is a good Taco Bell taco. And that's what it was. The beef might not have even been as good. The rice was decent but the beans not so much. The quesadilla was also just ok. All in all I wouldn't go back.

The food is so good, I came back the following morning! The first morning I sat inside, the second outside. The only thing about outside is that there's no fly fans or anything to keep the bugs away, so that's only only downfall. The service is friendly and they work well together. Both mornings I had the traditional breakfast with veggie sausage. The only thing I wasn't a huge fan of was the veggie sausage tasted too meaty for me. I like how they offer bottomless coffee and that the music is lovely without being too loud to talk to anyone. If I come back to Santa Fe, I'll be coming back here!
