Excellent, nothing is very spicy so it's all pretty safe for kids. I prefer the red to the green, but it's fun to try both. I love this counter service option. Lots of space to sit. We ended up here when Michaels had too long of a wait. Turned out perfectly. Food comes out quick, all very tasty Mexican style food. Reviews seem too low. Good quality, good price, good service. Lots of parking. Would definitely return. read more

This place was great! Not fancy - at all! But great Mexican food. Great selection of plates - beef, chicken, pork, shrimp, fish and veggies options. Everything we had was delicious (see pics). We tried the Asada with Shrimp, Enchiladas and Chile Verde Plate. Salsa & Guac were also very tasty and the complimentary grilled jalapeños were a nice touch! Good selection of Mexican beers too. read more

Seems like a popular place by the crowd- things were reasonably priced and the food came out quick. I give it a 3 because I found the chicken tostada too greasy and fatty. Normally I love tostadas so just wasn't for me. read more

Guad is a great casual dining option! The food is great especially the fried ice cream!! It is pretty well priced for the portion sizes, and although it's more take out/fast food style you can still order drinks. The staff are nice and vibes are laid back. read more

Not bad, but definitely not a do-over. Have trouble with being asked for a tip when ordering from a counter. Then, chips, salsa, guacamole ceviche (quite good) was over $40. Good enough, but not my preference. read more

Tried the Huevos Ranchero for breakfast and it was tasty (green chile sauce) but too much sauce so it was soupy. Lunch items were good.

Your meal begins by placing your order at the cashier station and then finding a table. Chips (called totopos in Mexico) and salsa were very good, but not provided free as is typical at Mexican restaurants. I had the seafood campechana with cuttle fish, mussels, and shrimp and it was good, but would have been better made with Mexican ketchup, which is a bit sweeter. It made a whole meal for me, but I'm not a big eater. read more

Just happened to find this place as I was going for a ride on the motorcycle. The atmosphere was pretty cool. It was weird place an order at the counter like a fast food. After doing so, they brought the food out to my table. I had the enchilada plate. The food was really good. I was just surprised at the small portions I got considering the high price I paid. They don't even offer free refills. This place was OK for a first time. But I will not go out of my way to go there again.. read more

This restaurant does not serve people with food allergies. They said that the things in back had all touched each other so we had to leave. If you have allergies, maybe try something else. read more

While taking our order the guy at the counter kept stopping to talk to the bother waitress. Rude. They had people in the restaurant with a dog. Gross. My husband had chicken fajitas and the vegetables were hard and not cooked. The beans were unsalted and the rice was flavorless. I had chili rellano and it was cold and tasteless. The chili was filled with zucchini and carrots. Yuk. Glad we won't go back. read more

Great food, prompt friendly service and terrific prices. The Enchiladas very good, just enough heat

Nice change to authentic Mexican food! (As opposed to Tex-Mex) and restaurant crowded with locals by the time we finished our meal. Husband had beef enchiladas and I opted for beef tacos. Both were very good. Old Mexico ambiance added to the delight. They do offer several kinds of beer and wine. read more

It depends who's cooking on that day! I always ask for Chimichangas and I have to ask them to put the sauce in a little cup, because they drown the Chimichangas and it makes them Soggy. The Chile Rellenos and Enchiladas are also to soggy when they shower them with sauce. However, communication always works. read more

No bueno. I've lived in SoCal most of my life and have hung out on the Baja peninsula for many years. I've traveled to a few cities in Mexico and really find Mexican food to be my comfort food. We are full-time RVers and travel all over the Western states in the almost 4 years we've been on the road. The food doesn't have to be over the top or edgy. I prefer honest ingredients, that are so well prepared, you feel the love and magic in it. I always judge good Mexican food by the way they regard one of my most favorite dishes, Carnitas. Oh, and beans....I love refried beans, and not everyone does these well. Here is what worked: Ample parking Open on Sunday Easy to order and pick up Food was warm when we arrived back to our RV to eat. Here is what didn't work: The food. My carnitas were so dry and flavorless, my entree was inedible. The rice and beans didn't have any flavor. It's a rare occasion where I vote thumbs down to give a place another chance. We were only in town for a few days and only had a few times to eat out. We can't risk this twice. This place is rated "Best of Taos, 1st place" in the city dining guide. It was an unfortunate and disappointing miss. If I was eating in the restaurant, I'd have sent it back and ordered something else. read more

Underwhelming. Food was delivered quickly but had little taste. We didn't bother to finish meal.

Food was just not good. There was no flavor. You order at counter. Will not be back. I think people like it because its cheap!?!

We really enjoyed our experience here. The restaurant was very busy when we arrived at 6:15, but we only had to wait a couple of minutes to order our meal. We ordered a full size platter of vegetable enchiladas... Christmas style with both red and green chili sauce, we also ordered a homemade flan. We sat outside on a patio. If you looked into the distance, you could see the mountains. Our food was served within minutes. The platter was huge more than enough food for two people to share the vegetables had been grilled and were very tasty. The flan was also exceptionally good. if you're looking for a quick casual and delicious meal in Taos, this is the place. read more

Stopped here traveling through. Wanted to celebrate cinco de mayo and wanted something local. Cashier who took our order was very helpful. Food came quickly. I had carne asada. It was good. Chips & salsa were good. Hubby had chicken enchiladas and they were good. Very popular place. read more

Food was decent- I got the menudo and it was close to tasting authentic! Would come again.

Order at counter. Terrible, dry tacos. No ambiance. Just a step above fast food. No decent wine. No queso. Not at all what we expected.

Been going here for years. Azteca quesadilla with shrimp for a hefty appetite, chicken tacos with tons of cilantro are refreshing and delicious. You really can't go wrong with anything they offer.... read more

Horrible food. Zero flavor. Beef fajitas were so tough some pieces were not even edible. Wayyyyy overpriced. Disgusting.

North side Guad is always a gem in the rough. carne Asada is my usual and they do not disappoint. Ambiance is causal and it's bar service.

worst meal we have had on this trip fish tacos "were was the fish " Tinny crumbs of fish in each taco with something else The shrimp were small and chewy Save your money read more

Food and service were both just ok. The waitress was friendly but seemed a little frazzled. The food wasn't much to write home about and a little pricey for what you get read more

Great food. Easy to order. Food came out quickly. Staff were friendly and efficient. Lots of parking, lots of seating. Comfortable setting.

First, we locals call it The Guad! It is great, the people who run it/ own it are great and it is delicious!!! You order at the counter and then they deliver your food to your table. From their tacos ( I love the shrimp) to enchiladas, shrimp cocktail, enormous quesadillas. I am not a meat eater, so I have no idea about steaks etc, but I see people eating them all the time. The kindest people! Patronize this local Taos business! read more

Not nearly as good as the photos. Menu was not appealing, no chicken soup, and a marginal chicken burrito. They must have bought their silverware on sale because I have never used a worse fork in my life. The clincher, however, was the WINE Margaritas. Seriously??? When I asked if they only offered WINE Margaritas, I was told "Yes, we are a restaurant, not a bar.". Disgraceful. read more

I would not recommend the food - the enchiladas was bland and the Chile rellenos were freezer burned! Will not go back again!

Good Mexican restaurant that serves so authentic Mexican food. I have been here before a few years ago as one of my friends recommended this place. I even ordered the same thing this time (Shrimp La Diabla) as last time's experience was so memorable. Apologize if I spelled the name of the dish wrong. Basically it was a shrimp in a very spicy and creamy red sauce. I don't recommend this for people who don't do spicy though as it has a kick there but I loved it. The Gua and chips were yummy and fresh. The pork Canitas was a little too dry so I won't order it again. Once you order at the counter, pay and get the number. Food will be served at the table. Food came out quickly in a reasonable amount of time. Service was great. Plenty space for parking outside. Spacious inside. Will be back. read more

We tried the beef enchiladas with red sauce and the chicken tacos. The meat in the chicken tacos was rather dry but the flavor was good. The beef enchiladas were filled with a generous portion of shredded beef. The sauces were a bit of a disappointment. I expected the red sauce to have more flavor and the green sauce served on the side with the tacos was rather bland. read more

Just rolled into town this afternoon and was wondering where to eat. Asked the staff at our hotel and they all said this location. We asked about fish tacos? Again, they said this location. They were 100% right. Food was amazing. Staff was friendly. We ate outside under the umbrella while it rained softly. The fish tacos were so yummy! The guacamole- heavenly! Got my Mexican Coke and a lime and almost forgot I was in NM and not in Mexico on vacation! Stop and look at their menu! You'll be glad you did. read more

The food was wonderful as always! We order the beef nachos and the flautas. The portions are always large. We always eat here when we visit, Taos. Until next time! read more

I had the beef soft tacos. They were very delicious. The service was quick and the food was great.

This is by far my favorite Mexican restaurant in Taos. Service is always friendly, food is consistent. This is my regular hangout in Taos. My favorite is fish tacos. Really love the flavor of this tacos. How does this little Asian lady know about Mexican food anyway? Not sure but I cannot find any better fish tacos anywhere... Perhaps I haven't been traveling enough to discover yet, until then I will stop here for their famous fish tacos every time I visit Taos. This place must be a popular hangout by locals. Everyone seemed to know everyone. This is nothing fancy about this place but they keep it clean. They serve alcohols but I haven't tried any yet as I am always driving. I saw someone drinking margaritas and they looked yum. Will someone drive me there so I can drink? read more

Old time Mexican style food which does not disappoint! Order at the counter and then grab a table. Went with a party of 8 hungry people and it was unanimous that all would return when in Taos.

if "I don't give a shit" were a restaurant. Yes, it's quick and convenient. But so is Taco Bell Terrible food...

Very kind associates but over priced and not good. Beef enchiladas meat was tough. Rice was tasteless, guacamole and chips side was $10 and it was a tiny portion- maybe half an avocado. Chile relleno was a strange doughy breading margarita tasted like lime koolaid read more
