First time ever being here on Good Friday and what a delight! This place had great music and ambience inside as well as our waiter being very attentive. The food was excellent! My wife got the Blue Corn Enchiladas, my daughter, of course, got the chicken tenders, and I got the stuffed Poblana with chicken! It was all very good and would highly recommend any of it. We also enjoyed their margaritas and they were huge and perfectly made! I recommend trying this place if your looking for a place to eat or enjoy some drinks! read more

The food was not bad, although for the price the portion is small. The service was not the best, I had a feeling we were rushed, couldn't even read the menu longer, the server wanted it back. On top of that wasn't very friendly. read more

No complaints at all! The waiter was superb and gave us great insight of menu items. But the food.. the shrimp and spinach enchiladas were out of this world! My daughter loved the chicken poblano pepper and my son in law ate his entire plate which is the best sign of a good meal! YOU NEED TO EAT HERE if you are in Taos! We will be back bc I can't stop thinking about those shrimp enchiladas... read more

Great food and kind servers, we all ordered blue corn enchiladas with adovada. Also ordered chips and salsa. Everything was good. I do wish the portions were a little larger as I believe we ordered 2 more baskets of chips after our meal. But would go back and food was great! read more

We were sat down quickly and then left for quite a bit. Another server rushed by our table and didn't say a word, just slapped menu's down and kept right on moving. It took some time for a server to come and take a drink order. Then it took some time for another server to ask if we needed anything....... Yes we would like to order....still no drinks, not even water. Our food arrived then our drinks and no stop back to see how we were doing even. Food wasn't amazing just basic. Ambiance was old Italian from the last failed restaurant. Seems like a place that doesn't have their act together. Another server stopped by and gave us our bill and waited to be paid. I would NOT recommend. Just another Mexican restaurant. Nothing special !!! read more

overpriced and incredibly underwhelming. the incompetence in this place will surprise you. how hard can it be to just cook the food WHEN the order is placed. had to wait an hour for one order of fajitas with ZERO people inside the store. then get home an they didn't put tortillas... yall had one job and one order. DO NOT COME HERE! plenty of other places to eat WITH actual flavor. you've been warned read more

One of my Besties & I tried la Terraza today and we were SO IMPRESSED! It retained Mondo's homey feel while making the space their own. The FOOD was AH-mazing and our Server Cristián was a delight. I'm thinking la Terraza de Taos will become a weekly outing. Even if it's just for a cup of coffee and a slice of their homemade Tres Leches cake. read more

La Terraza De Taos Cocina - Homemade Tres Leches cake at la Terraza de Taos. For a moment, all was well with the world - Mexican Near Me - Taos, New Mexico

Dog Friendly terrace with fantastic views but no music and LOTS of noise from the boulevard. Music inside is typical Tejano. Giselle gave nice, friendly, if not a little flustered service. I'd have tipped better, but had to transfer funds from the tip jar to pay 0.50 x 3 corn tortillas. This is also a place where chips and salsa ain't cheap, and therefore I skipped it. They have no happy hour. Food, Christmas green/red chili over chicken blue enchiladas topped with soft fried egg. Sadly bland. read more

We arrived to find out La Terraza de Taos has moved down stairs. The staff is still super friendly. The food is still delicious. I will return to try new dishes they create. read more

Such a unique food experience. The burrito that has a chili relleno inside awesome surprise. The Guacamole and salsa, great flavor. Mic drop the pickled onions!!! read more

La Erraza de Taos was amazing great service & the food was the best we've had going out to eat in Taos in a long time! We got the crab tacos and the fajitas and the calamari! never had better Calamari! read more

My experience was pretty good. The servers did forget to bring the appetizer but aside from that the food and service was good. The margarita was so-so but pretty expensive so I'm not sure I would recommend. Overall the food was decent and there was a good variety of options. There was no wait which was also nice. read more

This was a fine restaurant. They have a large upstairs patio and serve fabulous food. Diego and Mariah were excellent, helpful and friendly servers. I ordered the special, a seafood enchilada with lobster, for a surprisingly low price of $19. The sauce was a jalapeño based and only a little bit spicy. I like a little bit more heat and when I asked, they brought me two sauces on the side, - one the red chili style found in many NM restaurants and another which came with a warning label from the servers based on habaneros and ghost peppers. Fans of the hot ones will appreciate this as perhaps a level eight or nine. It's something that really put it in the right place, but only in small doses. I suggested they might want to serve it in a thimble with an eyedropper because that's about how much you need, but it did give you that satisfying afterburn. It's not completely obvious how to get into the restaurant, but you have to go up some stairs that are adjacent to another restaurant downstairs. Not impossible to find but keep looking if you have trouble. read more

Fried Calamari was on point ! And the shrimp fajitas were juicy and sizzling and very tasty! Crab tacos ... yum yum ..will definitely be back here ! read more

I asked for my rice and beans in a separate box, it came like this. This is normally a huge plate of food, and when you get it to go it's half the size. I hate that we are charged for the same amount for the half the size. I still tip the same. And get half the portion. It's frustrating to ask for something easy and specific and not be listened to, which ultimately resulted in even lesser food for still the same price. Also didn't come with the veggies everyone else gets. This is really disappointing. Greed is overrunning this world. read more

The staff are super nice, and the food was incredibly fresh. As a vegetarian, I appreciated the options and the perfectly cooked zucchini in my burrito. Refreshing, well priced Pacifico complimented dinner! The atmosphere was happy and lively; definitely going to come back here for dinner and the view read more

Crispy Fish and fries are my favorite in town!! Service is always good and fast. Everything we've tried here is great!

The service was a little slow because there were only two people managing the customers while a party of 20 had just been seated. The food was good, and they were willing to serve people with food allergies, and we really appreciated that. read more

This place is fabulous!! The crab or seafood enchiladas were amazing!! FULL of fresh meats and topped with one of the best sauces I've ever had. Anywhere. The calamari was also fantastic and fresh....if you like fresh seafood w a Mexican flare...GO HERE!! Really recommend and can't wait to visit again! (I would skip the queso next time...) It's upstairs above an Italian place, has great patio seating!! Dog friendly. Not a lot of space inside to sit. Service was phenomenal. Go try it! read more

Food was good. This was more Mexican than New Mexican so beware. Service was a little slow and room was smokey from the kitchen. They do have pasta which was odd for me. I ordered the Chile Relleno plate Xmas and you couldn't tell where the green and red were at. Other party ordered shrimp tacos and they were spicy but good and other party had birria and it was good. Salsa and Guac were good too. read more

Excellent seafood enchiladas and chicken burrito. The seafood was cooked perfectly and the sauces were delicious. Excellent service and friendly staff. read more

$9 for queso. It looks and tastes like canned queso. Even the nacho cheese from the movie theaters taste better than this queso. My entree was fried fish tacos. It was crispy, but it tastes like they used the wrong kind of fish for the tacos. The fish was too sweet for tacos. Service was good and fast though. read more

We received terrible service here and weren't even able to be sat for a table. We waited to be seated as their sign said and a man finally came over and informed us that we were "blocking the walkway" when I said that we hadn't been helped yet he said it is a 45 minute wait. I explained that we hadn't even put our name down for a table and he said "that's how we do it here, you just wait until it's your turn." I guess this place doesn't want to make money. We left and went somewhere else. read more

I wasn't impressed with this place. The first thing you notice is the general ambiance, which is pretty lacking- at least on the inside. Outside might be better. The second thing- to no fault of the people working there- there were only two people running tables. I actually think there may have only been three or four people working total. There were no table bussers, so there was a huge wait for tables as we were leaving because even though they were "empty," they weren't clean. Our waiter actually left in the middle of taking our order to do something else. I know it wasn't their fault they were short-staffed, but it was still a weird experience. So, not good service, but also seemingly not their fault. The food was...significantly lacking. I got veggie enchiladas and the flavor was okay, but they were pretty crispy and the tortilla was almost tough. There was almost no cheese. The cheese enchiladas looked worse, though. Very dry. Shrimp tacos and mole looked better. We did order chips and queso, but didn't get it until after we got our food. I think it was forgotten about (which wasn't the only error with an order). Queso wasn't bad, just average, and we didn't get a lot of chips...yet it was like $9. As I mentioned, it was pretty crowded with people waiting as we were leaving, but I'm not sure if that's because people genuinely like the food and they were returning, if they came on a recommendation, or if it was because this was one of maybe four restaurants open at the time (Labor Day weekend). Overall I wouldn't recommend or go back. read more

Girl taking our drink order couldn't even give us a drink menu, was chewing a wod of gum like a cow in the pasture, my sister ordered a house margarita and got served a watered down pale yellow mystery mix that tasted like diluted lemonade while we witnessed the bartender squeeze a Fresh lime, fresh orange etc... for the table next to us. We didn't even stay for dinner. I've eaten there many times but we get better service upstairs. I was embarrassed cause I told my sister that was a great place. Also, they up charged the mystery lemonade to 15 while it said $9 bucks on the menu. Bartender wouldn't even fix it. Yea they lost any future business on my end. I'm so embarrassed. read more

My companion and I decided to head to La Terraza house for dinner on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. We wanted to enjoy the lovely view of Taos Mountain and a nice summer evening. The restaurant sits on the second floor of the food hall. You enter the building, go up the stairs and are greeted by the hostess who will seat you inside or on the terrace. The hostess was very nice and immediately sat us at our choice of tables on the terrace. My companions ordered the chicken fajitas and the chicken mole enchiladas while I had the stuffed sopapilla. We also wanted to try the Ceviche Acapulco and ordered same. The Ceviche Acapulco arrived quickly with the drinks and was stuffed full of shrimp and calamari. We all remarked at the amount of shrimp. The sauce was a surprisingly sweet and was made better with the squeeze of the lime. The appetizer could have made a meal and was very good. The entrées arrived shortly thereafter, and we're all delicious. The chicken fajitas had a interesting sauce. It was like a ranchero sauce and really enhanced the beef. We all agreed that the fajitas were the belle of the ball. The chicken mole enchiladas were also very flavorful. My companion likes a very robustmole so these were not her favorite but we're very good. I enjoyed my chicken stuffed sopapilla and would definitely try the ground beef next time. We enjoyed the meal, the company, and especially the view. read more

The service was mediocre and the food wasn't the freshest. We were never offered refills on our drinks. The birria tacos were dry and had terrible flavor. Pulled pork seemed to be almost the same meat used for birria tacos just smothered in bbq sauce. The blue corn specialty plate was really good. I ordered it with beef fajita meat and the shredded chicken quesadillas were really good as well. Unfortunately you have to order chips and salsa if you want them with your meal but the guacamole was literally the best part of our entire meal! read more

Visited for lunch on December 23rd. We shared two dishes, a bowl of posole and seafood enchiladas. The posole was served in a large bowl with a side of house made tortilla chips which were perfectly salted. Not over salted. The posole had a good amount of tender, lean meat and was a healthy serving. The seafood enchiladas were delicious. Shrimp, fish, lots of bay scallops and a delicious chipotle cream sauce which had a good amount of kick to it. The enchiladas were served with sides of rice and beans both of which were good. We asked about the desserts of the day even though we probably had eaten enough all ready but couldn't resist the house made tres leches cake. I am so glad we got the cake. It was absolutely delicious. The filling and frosting was fluffy and not too sweet. The balance of flavors was perfect. We will definitely be back as there are several other things on the menu we are interested in trying. Nice outdoor and indoor space. We chose indoor since it was a bit chilly. read more

Local resident but 1st time visitors to La Terraza. Food quality: Underrated. It's Excellent! Service: Very attentive wait staff. Surprisingly it's one of the better Mexican restaurants in town. read more

I wish I could say that this was as good as it should be if Yelp is rating it as the second best Mexican restaurant in Taos. Service was abysmal until I literally asked somebody to please take my order after I had been there almost 30 minutes. While I enjoyed sipping a cold beer with lime while looking at the mountains on a lovely evening, the food that I waited for was absolutely nothing special. I'm not sure what's going on here, but I'm gonna say mismanagement is an issue. But a shout out to the young lady who finally attended to a customer. read more

Horrible service. Was recommended for a quick lunch. The place was not busy. We ordered. An hour later, no food. The waiter mumbled some silly excuse. We left. read more

This was, without a doubt, the worst dining experience I've had in a long time--terrible food, service, and overall atmosphere. The mango margarita was completely watered down, and the $9 queso tasted like it came straight from a can of cheap nacho cheese. The only remotely decent part of the meal was the rice. The service was just as bad. Our waiter took our drink order without even giving us menus, and we had to ask for silverware after our food arrived. To top it off, they couldn't split our bill correctly and ended up overcharging us. I honestly have no idea how this place has such great reviews. read more

Stopped in on a Sunday evening, so fairly quiet. Seated quickly. Excellent food, excellent service. I'll be back!

We waited for 10 minutes for someone to show up at the front to be seated. We made ourselves visible. We would have gladly waited if someone had just said "we'll be right with you" or "it'll be a few minutes " or something like that, but since nobody even acknowledged us (and there were other people waiting for that as well), we just left and spent our dollars somewhere else. Pity. Maybe the food would have been good but we'll never know. read more
