Good but not great. The chille relleno burrito was good, but it could have been better. The Christmas (red and green) chile sauce just wasn't spicy enough for me. The cheese inside the burrito was a bit cool already, but the burrito overall was still good. I also had the horchata and the tres leches cake. Both were ok. The tres leches cake was a little dry in my opinion. Chips and salsa were not free. read more

We stumbled onto this restaurant and thought we give it a shot! We came here on a saturday where they make Carne Guisada (only on the weekends), ceivche, and Ribeye with baked potato, and sauted veggies with side of guac, and salad. I simply loved that we had homemade tortilla wraps on the side. It just went well with everything. I would definitely come back to try other dishes! The Ceviche was a bit overly tart imo. So if you don't mind that sour punch then definitely go for it. But was a bit overwhelming. Still good though with the chips. Service was a bit busy but overall friendly! read more

While in Taos, we stopped here for dinner. The service was okay, but the outdoor seating area was so neat! Their salsa & guac was great. We had the enchiladas and the steak fajitas. Both were very good. I had some sort of strawberry Fresca drink which was SO good! Very authentic mexican food. read more

We arrived here for an early dinner on a Saturday and got lucky with no wait unlike another local spot, where we didn't want to spend that time. It did fill up with diners pretty quickly after our arrival. They have a fun looking bar area too. We were pleasantly surprised by the quality, service, and atmosphere. The pomegranate margarita and chips and salsa started things off nicely. It isn't the best salsa, gives a little "canned tomato sauce" vibe as the base but no biggie. We enjoyed the nachos, burritos, and tacos and nothing was left on our plates. Our server was very friendly as were other wait staff who brought us our food. Highly recommend!! read more

Azteca Mexican Grill - Remains of an excellent meal: enchiladas and tamales - Mexican Near Me - Taos, New Mexico

A really good New Mexican restaurant. Service was very good. Not a lot of ambiance. Food was really good Mexican food.

We found the Azteca Grill on our own while visiting Taos. It was a quiet Monday night. The ambiance was wonderful and we were greeted and seated quickly by the staff. Our food was very good, authentic As we expected. The house margaritas were not so good, in fact tasted almost like all lime juice! We even put sugar in it to help it go down. We enjoyed the authentic air In back of the Plaza in Taos that night! read more

If you're looking for Margaritas I think this is the place. I set in the bar and they seemed to be a hot item. Staff was very efficient and attentive. I ordered a veg quesadilla and it was ok, appeared to be thawed frozen veggies (a nice blend) but if the veggies had been grilled just a bit I think it would have elevated the flavor. read more

The food was good and arrived very fast. Trout was slightly over done. My guess re- warmed since it arrived fast. Same with my husband's carne asada. My red sauce was fantastic but I am glad I got it on the side. It would have smothered the trout. Mixed veggies were good. Ambience isn't much. Could be cute with not much effort but... Service was good but it was very busy so staff was busy! read more

Excellent food and service. We enjoyed the restaurant very much. Amazing enchiladas. Close to Taos plaza.

Parking lot is directly in front of the restaurant and this restaurant is located behind the main Square. I said inside as the outside was a little warm, but they have a beautiful patio area gray for cooler weather. I sat next to a couple from the great state of Texas, who are discussing what they had for dinner and that they really enjoy it as a result, the exact same item which was a strip steak on top two cheese enchiladas served with pico de gallo sour cream and guacamole. The service was very efficient. It took no time at all to get my meal and I was able to get out quickly which my case was working since I had a long drive back to Cimmeron New Mexico read more

Azteca is a must try if you find yourself in Taos around dinner time! When the weather permits ask for the patio! This trip the weather had us sitting inside, but it was still a great meal. The food here is some of the best in Nee Mexico. Always great service and great prices. The Mar Ye Tierra is simply one of the best dishes anywhere! I can't explain it, you've just got to try it. Simply a place I always recommend to friends and family. read more

The food was average. The ceviche I had was good but the pasta my husband ordered was supposed to come with green chilli in it and it didn't so we had to ask for some for him to mix in. The guacamole was really good but the salsa tasted like canned tomatoes. We were told the locals come here and this is THE place to come for New Mexican food in Taos- I'm not convinced. The service was ok but we had to keep reminding our waitress to bring us things. So I mean it's ok but I feel like there are better places in Taos. read more

We came here while traveling in Taos and it did not disappoint. We started with the ceviche app and WOW so fresh and tasty and im not the biggest fan of fish.I couldn't get enough. I had the plate you see but forgot the name( MY BAD) it was so large and I had to take 1/2 home with me. It was basically a beef type quesadilla but had another name I couldn't pronounce (LOL) The house Margherita was 8.00 and generous portion. The staff was friendly (ALL OF THEM!) seems like a family owned place which is always a win for this Yelper. When you want authentic New Mexican food and you're in Taos- give this spot a try! read more

Great food, great service! Chicken nachos were huge and could only eat 1/3 of them. Husband had beef enchiladas with rice and beans. The chips and salsa were an "appetizer" but the salsa was fantastic. Recommend the Azteca Bar & Grill, if you are eating in Taos.You can eat inside or outside, based on preference. read more

Wow. Didn't expect to be blown away, but the food here in this restaurant in Taos was excellent! The enchiladas were tasty and hit the spot. But what really impressed was the red trout.

First time eating here. The food was good, however I gave 4 stars because the salsa needs work. It tastes like just canned tomatoes with cilantro no spices. Its worth a stop if you have never been here. read more

Outsid Outside Mexico this might be the best Mexican food I've ever had. From the guacamole and salsa to the combination plate, which had hands-down, the best taco I've ever eaten along with a very tasty enchilada, and by far above superior tamale, even the rice and beans were incredibly good and last, but not least the service if I could give six stars for the service I would. read more

A local recommended here. We were glad since it's tucked away off the street and we might have missed it. The tiny strip mall set up has an ample parking lot in front of it. Enter into a beautiful garden courtyard, complete with traditional southwest Sandia Ristras, a fountain and shaded, quaint garden furniture. Service was top notch. Our waiter seemed to anticipate our needs before we asked in a great way. We had huaraches and a chicken Caesar salad. The salad is huge and you'll get a full seasoned chicken breast. Yum! read more

Azteca Mexican Grill - Beautiful fountain in the center of the outdoor dining courtyard area. - Mexican Near Me - Taos, New Mexico

Had a delightful meal here in their lovely outside patio. I want to put a shoutout for their amazing ceviche tostadas! It was a little unusual in that there's some sort of a chipotle mayo underneath, and then the fish, which is so tasty, and then these really delicious, marinated onions and some avocado. I ended up sharing most of the second one, because it was really filling! We're from Cali and I must say this was one of the best I've ever had. My husband had the tamale and relleno combination. The real star is the tamale, the MASA is very light and not gluey at all, and the meat inside is deliciously spiced and cooked. The relleno was a little too cheesy for us, but the beans and rice are very delicious . Our server was fabulous, and we would absolutely come back! read more

Great Mexican AND New Mexican food... A lot of people don't like mole sauce, but Azteca's is superb...not too sweet or too bitter and also vegetarian based; Also have fantastic grilled vegetables that are Al dente as a substitute for their rice which has chicken stock; Many items have vegetarian substitutes and all are really good; Service was very attentive and frequently refilled our beverages and rapidly depleted chip and salsa bowls; Do yourself a favor and spend a lazy afternoon in their beautiful courtyard!!! read more

We were looking around in Taos for lunch and Yelp gave this place good reviews. We were immediately seat in the courtyard. The servers were great and I had the huaraches (which I never had before) and my wife had the chicken enchiladas. Fantastic. We really liked the courtyard. I highly recommend. read more

Delicious food. Excellent Service ! The restaurant itself is situated with a fountain out front. Seating outside in the patio and inside. Service was prompt, and the food came out fast! Delicious Carne Asada . I had two chicken tacos, with rice and beans. The staff was young, but they hustled. Polite and professional. The owner came out of the kitchen to see how we liked the food. My husband wants to go back for his birthday, and we live in Raton NM ! read more

First stop on our Taos trip after a local recommended this as her favorite restaurant. Holy tamale!!! Hands down the best tamales I've ever eaten in my whole life!! To the point of ruining all others for me. The Hubs ordered the Chicken Enchiladas and also cleared his plate. We both ordered Christmas style as tops and couldn't decide which we loved more. Great stop. Wonderful service. Pretty little patio. All the Yes' read more

New place, and our first visit. We were able to sit on the patio, which is quite nice, comfortable and the tables are well spaced. Service was gracious, efficient, friendly. We never lacked for anything. Yet it wasn't "too much". Just right. They have applied for a liquor license, and NM doesn't allow BYOB, so you have to drink before or after until the license come in. We started with chips, salsa and guacamole. All three were excellent, fresh. For dinner we had a red trout, chili rellenos, and a combo platter. Everyone loved their choice. My rellenos were stuffed with quest blanco and had the most awesome mole I have ever tasted. Very spicy, with more chili than I have ever experienced. It may ruin me for any other mole. My wife's combo subbed out the taco for an additional. Geese enchilada and they were outstanding. No lack of cheese like so many places. The tamale was tasty as well. We both had rice and beans and they were good- fresh tasting. Helen had the Red Trout. She said it was amazing, particularly the spicy white sauce. My wife agreed. Also the fresh veggies tasted Smokey, and they both loved that. I believe we will all be going back for a shot at that trout. I will say the food is more Mexican than New Mexican, although they do offer both red and green chili on many dishes. For desert we had the flan. Very good! I wish this place much success. read more

We came here before when it was Bella's. The food is still exceptional. The tamales are hands-down some of the best! Moist and tender, not dry at all like some tamales tend to be. We ordered the chicken burrito. A combination plate. A tamale dinner and a shredded beef enchilada dinner. My daughter wasted no time taking down those beef enchiladas! We had 4 full plates to begin with and ended up with four empty plates. Completely empty! Delicious! read more
