 Lunch on the Patio by rexvaughan This remote restaurant is deservedly highly rated - some even place it in the top 100 in the US. Its dinining areas are all well lighted from the outside or actually on the patio. It is a very inviting and pleasant establishment with a very professional staff.
I had been eating Mexican food for several days so opted for trout almondine which was very well prepared and tasty. My wife and our 2 friends had New Mexican cuisine (I don't remember exactly what) and alll said it was delicious. We all had "prickly pear lemonade" which is made with cactus and found it light and refreshing. It is one of our friends' favorite places in NM. It was all topped off with sopapillas and honey - wonderful! Leave a Comment Theme: LocalPrice: US$11-20 » Currency ConverterComparison: about averageAddress: P. O.

 Orlando's patio by rexvaughan This little place does a booming business among the locals - always a good recommendation. It has a great ambience - dining on the patio in warm weather is a great experience. It is rated in various places as one of the top 5 in Taos. Entrees are generally less than $10 and the portions are large and freshly prepared.
I was very dubious about avacado pie, but one of our group ordered it and let us sample it. It was delicious and tasted very much like a really good key lime pie.

 A well satisfied group by rexvaughan This little place has a great menu strongly, but not exclusively, geared toward Mexican cuisine. It is not fancy although attractive and the staff very accommodating and helpful. Their bakery items are prepared on the premises and our friends report that they are wonderful. They also have the full spread of coffee and cappucino drinks. They are open 7 days a week but only from 6:30 am to 5:30 pm.
They serve their breakfast dishes all day, so I had eggs and pancakes - quite delicious. The coffee was excellent.

 Balcony overlooking the Plaza by rexvaughan This is a very popular watering hole as the balcony overlooks the town's plaza. It is indeed a great place for lunch, a late afternoon drink or dinner. The food is mostly Mexican cuisine and is quite good. Leave a Comment Theme: LocalPrice: US$11-20 » Currency ConverterComparison: about averageAddress: Taos PlazaPhone: 505-758-8866

Ogilvie's is located on the east side of the Plaza on the second floor. Go inside the shops entrance and then look for the stairs. This Mexican food restaurant is very clean and well kept. The wait staff is efficient and knows the menu. The tables are spread out so that you are not on top of a neighboring table. In the summer you can eat on the balcony outdoors. The menu listings are not numerous, so they can devote their energies to doing it right. I highly recommend Ogilvie's. Opens at 11:00. They have a good children's menu. I lived in New Mexico for many years, and I know Mexican Food. This is an exceptional restaurant. It beats any Calfornia Mexican Food Restaurant, except maybe a few in Old Town, San Diego, and is comparible to any of the best in Denver.
I recommend the blue corn enchilada stack, or the enchiladas. The beans that come with these dishes are terrific, not coming from a can, but soaked overnight and then cooked in a nice broth. To die for: the guacamole dip. If you like your guacamole with garlic and chile pepper this is for you! No sopapillas. They also have fajitas, beef or chicken, but I didn't try this. Keep in mind that this is northern New Mexico and so the food will have a bit different salza flavor. Yes, Mexican food here is a bit different flavoring that Texas or California. Enjoy! Not an expensive place..... Theme: MexicanPrice: US$11-20 » Currency ConverterComparison: about averageAddress: see above

 a bit overpriced but worth a try by richiecdisc I'm a big fan of trying local foods. I could come down with dysentery and be happy with a meal if I felt I was living like the locals. But with this openness to experience comes some preconceptions with regard to price. I can live with less than perfectly sanitary preparation if the price is commensurate with the hygienic level. Indian tacos sounded kind of touristy and I have to admit that paying $25 for the two of us and the camera permit to get in was already testing me. But seven dollars sounded like highway robbery for a taco but I figured when was I going to get to try this delicacy again?
We ordered one figuring that at that price it should be enough to feed two. Though it looked like a fair sized meal, once we started eating it, it became apparent it was mostly some salad with a bean type stew overtop of the homemade Indian bread, which was more like fried dough than actual bread. The bread was the best part of the taco. The rest was kind of bland and certainly in need of a lot more meat. I could have lived with the meager meat if the price was about half what it was.

 Market square by Azonie The food here was very good with a good variety to suit anyone..Kind of hippyish atmosphere but relaxing all the same..I can't remember what we had but I do remember that we were very pleased with it all.
Can't remember what we had but it was very good. Leave a Comment

 and this wasn't even the Fatty by richiecdisc Get the Fatty. Eske's was on my list of brewpubs to visit for a long time. It wasn't anything in particular but probably more due to inaccessibility than anything else. Much as New Mexico and Taos in particular had eluded me, Eske's had followed suit. Housed in a classic Adobe building, there is a nice outside porch for dining as well as some nooks and crannies inside. There is a very small bar which is where we sat. The bartender turned out to be from my old home state of Pennsylvania so we had lots to talk about and getting tasters was easy too. It's a casual place.
The menu is limited but we were in the mood for Southwestern fare and that they sure had. We got Wanda's Green Chile Tortilla-A whole wheat tortilla filled with beans, onions and cheddar cheese, smothered in Wanda's Green Chile Stew for $6.25. Our buddy bartender told us to get the fatty but we stupidly decided against this. Fatty sounded like some drug reference to me but we later found out it meant they stuffed the tortilla with mashed potatoes which sounds a bit odd but sure it was a lot more filling than what we got. Still, it was a fair size for the price and certainly tasty. We had the Special Bitter which was amber with a nice mix of malt and hops. It was in the English Bitter (4.6%) vein but with American hops so a bit of a cross breed. The Old Coal Porter (4.5%) was very dark with ruby highlights and dry malty palate. Taos Green Chile was a light lager with just a hint of chile, not as bad as I had expected. The Scottish Ale (6.4%) was an interesting big brother to the ESB, malty but dry and hoppy in the finish. Quite nice. The Seco Stout was a classic Dry Irish Stout. Black with tan head and bitter palate.

The Apple Tree Restaurant is in an old building dating from 1898 It was originally constructed as a residence and then was divided into apartments but for the past 25 years has housed the restaurant. The building retains the charming character and historic atmosphere of the era. It is still a family business as we were greeted and seated by the owners' son. There is a nice small patio which features the original apple tree planted in 1903. The restaurant uses local organic produce to complement many of its entrees.
We stopped for lunch and I had Apple Tree Salad which was Romaine lettus and organic mixed greens in a honey bleu cheese dressing. It was topped with roasted walnuts, bleu cheese and dried cranberries. It was delicious and a light, but hearty lunch. My friend had warm almond crusted brie with a blackberry coulis, granny smith apples, bananas and strawberries. I enjoyed my salad but kept tossing envious glances at his plate. Others in the group had burgers or trout. We all agreed that our meal was well presented, moderately priced and delicious! High recommenda Leave a Comment
