Jose and Doris (chef) and daughters Marianna, Alexis and Evangeline are a great team serving authentic Mexican food in a relaxed, casual atmosphere. If it doesn't come up in the top Taos list when you're hoping for delicious Mexican food it should. And if you're ambivalent about $12 for apple pie, take the leap. You'll come back just for that! Cozy, welcoming and excellent in every way. read more

The format is like a fast food place: order at the counter, then grab a seat. Seating area is cute and comfortable. I had the Lina's special: enchilada, taco, rice and beans. Oh my god. So delicious. Don't hesitate to stop here. It's fast, it's delicious, it's awesome. read more

It's a small Mom n Pop shop, the owners are very friendly and nice. The Ambience was ok. The food was awesome. We ordered a vegetarian burrito and veggie quesedilla. Both of them were cooked really well. It was very flavorful and tasty. The quality of their chips salsa guacamole and the food ordered was really good. The presentation and the aroma of the food was pretty good. It was the best mexican food I had till date. read more

This restaurant recently opened and I recommend giving it a try! It is set up like fast casual. You order at the front then take a seat. The waiter brings the food. There seemed to be plenty of tables and booths. The service was very quick. I had the green chile stew. It came with a delicious fresh salad and quesadilla. The stew was good but could have simmered a while longer. It was chewier than I prefer. The quesadilla was a nice surprise on the plate. The sopapillas here were good. Someone in our group got the Reuben which they liked a lot. The prices are very reasonable. Although the menu is short, there's a wide variety of dishes. I'd certainly come again. read more

La Cocina Encantada - Green chili stew - American Near Me - Taos, New Mexico

This restaurant fills an interesting niche somewhere between fast food and table service. If the food were better, it would be a great place for a quick bite. Everything was plated quite well. Looked nice. Excited, until I started trying to find some flavor. Neither my carnitas nor my wife's Christmas enchiladas had much taste. Things were cooked well, but they must be catering to a crowd who wants bland food. The service was excellent. Our waters were refilled regularly, and various people came by to check up on us. There is simply too much good food in Taos to eat here. read more

Excellent tacos!! Note this business has changed hands and they do not have pupusas as advertised on google

The food is not good. The beans tasted like can beans, the steak burritos are made of ground meat. The rice was soft and no flavor. This place is definitely not a five star. Very disappointing on calling it Mexican food. read more

La Cocina Encantada - beef burrito with green sauce, added rice - American Near Me - Taos, New Mexico

This place is amazing! Though it's not quite on the menu; I had the chili relleno plate. It was the best chili relleno that I've ever had. The chili relleno was crispy on the outside and tender and cheesy on the inside. The green chili sauce was so flavorful and had the perfect amount of spice. The service was wonderful. We got our delicious food pretty quickly. I loved the relaxing, comforting ambiance of the place. We're on vacation visiting from Las Vegas, NV. We will definitely be returning. This place was awesome! read more

Stopped in for a quick bite on the way out of town. The food was great.. The refried beans and Chile were very tasty (especially the red). The kids working there were on top of it. The service was quick, and it was reasonably priced. Very nice authentic New Mexican spot. read more

Another great meal!!!! Chips and salsa (complementary) fresh salsa and warm earthy chips, so good!!!! I had carnitas tacos, which were full of meat and topped with fresh toppings... beautiful and tasty. My husband had the green Chile cheeseburger which was fresh, cooked perfectly and served with really tasty, probably addictive waffle fries. Perfect service, refills right on time and extra salsa. Thanks to all, we'll see you soon!!! read more
