Another beautiful evening of food and drink at our favorite place in Angel Fire, Elevated Pour…read more Tonight was our 49th wedding anniversary and we couldn't have gone to a better place. I have been working on trying to eat all of the items listed under the, "Shareables" heading. Tonight I finished the list with the amazing Tuna Carpaccio. The sashimi grade Ahi was very fresh and was complemented with an amazing soy-miso vinaigrette dressing and avocado. My wife had their always amazing Meatballs and Baguette. After finishing the Shareables list, I have not found anything I would not eat again which makes return visits very fun!! However, it does allow me to really think about what my palette is looking for and fulfilling that need! And their drinks are amazing!!! Tonight I decided to move from my goto drink the Elevated Old Fashioned to a delightful red wine. I was directed by our server, Kade, to their Luigi Bosca Malbec and was not disappointed. We left, as usual very pleased with dinner, drinks, and service. We highly recommend Elevated Pour!!!

We made a visit to Elevated Pour on a beautiful winter evening in February. Not entirely certain if…read morethey were short-staffed or didn't have a welcoming host, but they were very busy with no open tables initially. We were told by the bar staff to give them a moment to seat us, so we waited outside on the front porch. This liminal space of time provided us the opportunity to observe the evening hour turn to dusk, and notice light changing into shadow across the Sangre de Cristo mountains. Eventually, we were told a table by the window opened up -- which was most serendipitous for us. Despite what seemed to be a staffing issue, the bartender graciously saved the day with his genuine hospitality/attention, and even brought our drinks to the table. Our food appeared remarkably fast, and disappeared from our plates just as quickly. I highly recommend the butternut squash soup and pistachio gelato (so delicious). The only true down-point for me was the lighting inside, as it was far too bright for my liking (ambiance goes a long way). With regard to collective experience and 100% worthy of mentioning, Elevated Pour ended our evening in Angel Fire on a most memorable note -- the night sky became lit up with stars visible to the naked eye... pure magic.

Started with Wagyu/Angus burnt ends and savory red chile sauce. Tender and delicious. We then moved to the almost crusted Chilean Sea Bass with cilantro basmati rice and locally sourced microgreens and asparagus. Blew me away. The best course, IMO, was the duck confit with corn and hatch chile bread pudding. Accompanied by macerated blueberries and delicious red amaranth micro greens. Chef's kiss. The bouillabaisse was multilayered and seafood was perfectly prepared. To round out our evening, we indulged in a key lime pie that was refreshing and the perfect close to a wonderful meal. The chef and staff are so wonderful. They take care of you and can relate without any kind of pretension. Highly recommend

BFF and I were visiting the plaza and I wanted to eat linner somewhere different. As I researched restaurants prior to our trip, I found this gem and they have happy hour 7 days a week! After reading the many great reviews, we arrived approximately 15 min early prior to them opening as we were not sure how busy it would be on a Sunday afternoon. We arrived prior to the bartender but she showed up shortly after we did and took a seat at the bar!. Now, I genuinely do not like bar seating as I prefer a table, and they have one that sits 10 people but since there was two of us we did not want to hog up that much space. Our server was great and we started off with the brussel sprouts and elote corn ribs with red chile butter. Both were delicious and off the charts! I opted for the chicken sando and BFF ordered the steak frites. Both were delish and full of flavor! We also had a really good pinot cab. Our bill was a bit pricey for their HH menu (116.00 incl 5 glasses of cab total) but worth every penny! Ambience is totally cool, laid back, classy (but not pretentious) with a modern rustic flair on the inside. Will definitely be back if I am in Taos again!

I mean, there aren't too many options in this cute town, but Hondo has affordable eats. We tried everything from Philly green chili slides, chicken enchies with red and green chilis (Christmas-style), nachos... and a lot of red wine! I don't rec the margarita btw. It's all mix. (If you want a good marg, order from Rhoda's a stone's throw away.) Additional pros: Dog friendly (even inside), fire place, busy bar with people watching, outside patio... food comes out fast!

She even gave us a heads up that she was also handling a 7-top table and made sure we could get our order in before theirs since it was just the two of us. Thought that was really thoughtful and great service. We started with the salsa, queso, guacamole, and a Caesar salad for appetizers and everything was delicious. A great way to kick off the meal. For the main course we both went with the steak fajitas. The steak was a little on the tough side, but overall still really good and heavily seasoned. The portion is generous too. One order could easily be split between two people. It comes with rice, beans, cheese, pico, and three tortillas. The restaurant itself is super charming. It's inside the historic Taos Inn and you can really feel the history in the space. The atmosphere alone makes the experience memorable. Would highly recommend checking out Doc Martin's if you're visiting Taos. Great service, great atmosphere, and a solid meal.

This is my fault and not the responsibility of the server, but I would have liked more honesty on her part. This was the most expensive meal we had in Taos and not worth it.
