Cafe Pasqual's - Santa Ana

Friendly for single woman diner. I was a single diner and very much enjoyed the community table in the center of the restaurant. I had two poached eggs on hash browns with smoked salmon and tomatilla sauce on the side. Delicious!

We eat here on most visits to Santa Fe. You need reservations in my experience. They have a fun mix of unique dishes that have all been excellent. The stewed pork is awesome and unique. Extremely good staff- we always have a fantastic time here.

Probably the most over-rated place I’ve been to. I went for breakfast. I had been wanting to go for a few years!! There was a 45 min wait on a weekday morning. I ordered the machaca seca. I received what is to this day the smallest portion of food I’ve ever paid $25 for. There was maybe one egg mixed with the beef seca. Some black beans and 3 corn tortillas. The food was extremely bland. Even the salsa had zero heat. I left hungry and completely unsatisfied, and $25 poorer. No need to ever return.

We stopped in for lunch on a Thursday around noon only had to wait about 30 mins before 2 seats at the shared table became available. Service was efficient and the food was wonderful. I had the breakfast burrito which was huge. We enjoyed visiting with the other folks at the table. nice idea that speeds up tables being available. The hot sauce served with the burrito was delicious.

Such a unique place. We sat at the community table, which was a great experience and opportunity to talk to new folks. The food was definitely unique and almost like culinary experience. I recommend everyone come here at least once!
