Café Pasquals is an eatery in the heart of Santa Fe, New Mexico, one that is the best of the best, especially if you’re a foodie. The food is so good every bite demands a moment of pause, and the ambiance is somehow both festive and tranquil. As you step into Café Pasquals, you’re greeted by the aromas of freshly brewed coffee and an atmosphere as unique as it is inviting. The eclectic decor and vibrant colors create a welcoming atmosphere that instantly makes you feel at home.
The menu at Café Pasquals is a collection of local ingredients and traditional recipes with a modern flare. From savory huevos rancheros to fluffy blue corn pancakes, every dish is a delicious masterpiece that reflects the rich flavors of New Mexico. Most notably, the “Breakfast Burrito:” a whole wheat tortilla, griddled, with organic eggs, green chili, Gouda, Jack, and Cheddar cheeses, salsa, and hashbrowns, and as an “add-on,” turkey bacon.
Along with "The Alley Cat" breakfast sandwich at CatEye Café in Bozeman, Montana, this burrito is the best breakfast sandwich I've ever had. And then there is the “Smoked Trout w/ crème fraîche rillette spread:” ruby red trout, bacon, chives, and crostini bread. Just thinking about this is almost enough inspiration to drive the more than 1,000 miles from me to Café Pasquals for a meal. You might also want to try the:

- Santa Fe Frittata: A delicious mix of eggs, chorizo, potatoes, and green chilies, baked to perfection.
