Rasa Juice Bar

Best ever! We travel a fair amount and trying different vegan restaurants is an obsession. I don't know what we will do now because nothing will ever compare to Rasa. It is not your typical vegan fare. The food is creative, beautiful, delicious and prepared with love and care. Every detail is perfect. After eating here we felt revived and restored in every way!

Rasa blew me away. Not only is the food delicious and healthy, it's also incredibly gorgeous! Plus the service is always wonderful. It's not only my favorite restaurant in Santa Fe, but in the whole US!

I went with my boyfriend. They brought out his meal first, then brought mine out 15 minutes later, at which point he was almost done. I had to wait for an owner to take a picture of it before they brought it out, because I hadn't been waiting long enough. The people making your food use bare hands - after handling dirty dishes, touching other people, etc. Sitting by the kitchen, I didn't see either of them wash their hands. Will not go back. You shouldn't go either unless you like overpriced food, bad service, and dirty hands.

Truly a unique culinary experience. The green chile stew was delicious. As a matter of fact, all the food was incredible. The only downfall was that my girlfriend's meal came to the table 15 minutes after mine. And I realize that specialized food takes time but why such a large discrepancy when we ordered an appetizer. To make matters worse, there was a woman taking pictures of the food coming out of the kitchen. A customer should never have to wait for their food because someone wants to take a picture of it. Honestly, I just can't explain why you would do that. But I would definitely come back for the food.

I was so pleasantly surprised at Rasa. It was a Lovely, clean, friendly juice bar. The juices were really good and the raw chocolate mint meltdown was amazing! A great find in Santa Fe!

#2 - Believe or not, Rasa is the best restaurant in Santa Fe. It's tiny ... it's got limited hours ... it's a bit off the beaten path, but it's awesome and creative and simply sublime. Sure it's mostly raw vegan, but forget that ... it's simply a must taste kind of place. Withhold your judgements about what vegan food is, open your mind and prepare yourself for a shockingly delicious treat.

#1 - This wonderful little cafe is so much more than a juice bar it's almost a crime to call it that. Rasa is one of the only vegan places in Santa Fe (honey is in a few deserts but they are very knowledgeable and will easily tell you) and regardless of what you eat it's not to be missed. Fresh mostly raw food is delish and filling and satisfying. Super friendly staff and customers. I'm going back.

What a cute places hidden away in a little area with exercise studios. The food was absolutely delicious! We had the raw cheese plate (see photo), soup & raw desserts! Everything was divine & presented very well! We also had the Rooty Spike juice which was great!
