Not an in town location. We had to take a little drive. We always seek out natural, organic, or preservative free options. This ride took us to a very small town. This ice cream shop was hardly customary in a very rugged setting. The structure itself is like an old train car. If you want to sit, they have an area towards the back with old wood tables near a dried up river or stream bed. Now the ice cream the cream de la cream. Delicious with unique flavors you won't find around. True ice cream without emulsifiers, and garbage preservatives. You can taste the cleanliness. read more

I love ice cream! This is very good ice cream, but very expensive! I sure wouldn't want to bring all my grands at one time as I'd go broke! read more

Amazing little spot on the side of the road in Arroyo Seco. The ice cream is phenomenal. We ordered three flavors: Mexican chocolate with cinnamon and dark chocolate chunks, Coco Loco, coconut with chocolate chunks and piñon nuts, and cinnamon. All were delicious. But the surprise highlight of our visit was the Reuben sandwich with green chile. It was truly one of the best Reubens we've ever had with toasty rye bread, real Swiss cheese with just the right bite, tangy sauerkraut, and a spicy/sweet Russian dressing. The addition of the green chile puts it over the top in a way that's hard to explain. read more

Dang good ice cream! Nice spot next to little creek with some picnic tables in the shade. read more

Taos Cow - Pecan ice cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Arroyo Seco, New Mexico

Great food - Quick service - outdoorsy with big trees and Arroyo Secos shops close by for shopping. Fabulous ice cream!

We stopped by and got a scoop of raspberry-chocolate ice cream. At $6 for a very generous scoop, it is a delicacy, but it was the best ice cream I have ever eaten, of any flavor or brand, bar none. We were surprised that they had moved from their location of many years, but only about 50 feet into a space like a food truck, but bigger, and no wheels. read more

Lemon ice cream. Absolutely delicious. Pretty pricey for two of us to have two scoops each. Came out to $18 will be a once in a while treat only....unfortunately read more

Ice cream is always great. People are always rude. I really like their location and it's a nice spot to enjoy some ice cream on a beautiful day. read more

Much more than Ice cream, I was happy to find a fantastic breakfast burrito. Scrumptious! Huge! Where to have your feasts? By the creek in the cool shade, of course. Only one thing made me sad: No Pets Allowed? Not sure why; this ain't no high falutin' place, so until they accommodate for my four legged friends they'll get 4 stars read more

Loved their ice cream. Unique flavors that were delicious. Had a large waffle cone. Wish we found them on the first day of our week long stay instead of our last. Cool and funky little town also. Outdoor seating provided some great hang out space. Service was prompt. read more

Niece recommended it had to give it a try loved it wish it was closer but when I'm in the area again, I will definitely eat there Ruben sandwiches were to die for and their ice cream oh my my my can't say enough read more

We ate here twice in one day. On the way up to the mountain and on the way back down. Breakfast burrito and the kimchi spread bagel was amazing to split between the two of us. That pastrami...it was overly greasy, l messy on rye bread. What more do you want from a pastrami? I'd give 5 start but the entire staff is unfriendly and no one seems like they want to work there. read more

Always welcoming and friendly with an outstanding ice cream selection, excellent sandwiches and beverages.

Always happy to stop here and enjoy a cone because this ice cream is unique and delicious!! Taos Cow is located in Arroyo Seco en route to the Taos Ski valley. They offer all natural ice cream that is rBGH free. Several ice cream flavors feature local ingredients like pistachios, pecans, piñon, and lavender. They also offer coffee, breakfast and lunch items. They open everyday at 7:30 a.m, and they have a scenic spot to sit with chairs and little patio tables next to a creek. My favorite flavor is the Cherry Ristra w dark chocolate chunks and piñon! Yum! My little one enjoyed her vanilla bean and my Mom enjoyed the piñon caramel with large chunks of caramel inside. This place is a gem, be sure to stop by before or after your mountain adventures! read more

It was okay, not great. First, they do not allow tastes of the flavors, so you are ordering blind which is unusual for an ice cream place Second, the texture was grainy with little chunks of ice, not smooth and creamy like it should be. The flavors were okay. We were excited to try this place but left disappointed. read more

I was just leaving Taos and needed breakfast and coffee. I googled this place and it was 5 minutes away from me. I got the famous egg sando with bacon and avocado and it was DELICIOUS!!! It was not what I was expecting and everything tasted so fresh. I wish that I could eat here every day because I would. I also got a vanilla latte which was just as delicious. 10/10 read more

Amazing service & tasty ice cream! Such friendly and caring staff. The coco loco flavor is now one of my new favorites!

We are frequent visitors here when we are in town. The ladies are always so friendly and quick. The breakfast sandwiches are fantastic. We are working our way through the list, but so far the Lox and the Kimchi are our top two picks. In the afternoon we come back through with our adult kids and hit the ice cream. My son loves it so much he dry ices and ices the quarts to take back to Dallas. Last time the cherry was my fave. Don't pass up this hidden gem. It's the best. read more

Friendly host, great food & ice cream. Feel like families ly home made. Great place to hang out & relax after walking around the town. read more

BEST BACON BREAKFAST BURRITO!!!! I'm from San Diego land of the burritos and this place smoked them all. I wish I could have this every day. Only draw back, no fresh salsa just cholula read more

Their homemade ice creams, breakfast and lunch items are all delicious - well worth the drive into Seco!

Amazing ice cream with fantastic flavors. Had the lavender in one scoop and the chocolate raspberry in the other. Both were wonderful and unlike anything I have ever had. They were perfect. read more

Best coffee on the mountain. The two nice ladies working when we were there welcomed us and were super appreciative of out-of-towers. Since Taos is my second home, I'll be sure to frequent. read more

I'd been by a couple different times and my go to is their breakfast sandwich on a croissant add pickled onions. It waste my once a week pleasure. But then I had to lay off on the carbs and today decided for the first time I would grab a scoop of their homemade ice cream. It was delicious. Highly recommend and suggest taking your visitors as a place to see when they're in town. read more

I got the Chocolate Rio Grande. I wanted to eat the Piñón nuts. There was just enough in them to get the flavor without overpowering the ice cream. I got one scoop, which was plentiful. Service is quick. read more

The ice cream is worth driving way out of your way for, as we did, driving the 15 minutes from town just to get some of this goodness. I got the pistachio ice cream with white chocolate chunks and needless to say, it was divine. The ice cream is so rich and seems to come from the finest of cows and the blend of ingredients were just perfect. My wife loved my pistachio so much that she got a scoop of this and another chocolate chunk scoop. She loved it. We also liked the outdoor seating and the little stream nearby that we could sit around and enjoy some peace and quiet. What we didn't like were the SERVICE folks in here that don't seem to understand their job and what it entails. We got cold hard stares as we sized up the ice cream and none of the friendly banter you'd expect from a place that serves ice cream. Then, to top it off, when we went to pay, another guy that appeared to be an owner or manager demonstrated to us why the other staff probably have such bad attitudes. This guy too looked upon everyone with contempt. An out-of-town tourist tried to make conversation with him and it got pretty much nowhere. She mentioned something about working in touristy restaurants in New Orleans and then paid for her goods. As she walked away, the guy turned to us and said "All that talk about working in the industry and she still didn't tip," in a manner that was both scornful and sarcastic. Though part of me sympathized with his sentiments, I didn't appreciate him saying it in front of us for a number of reasons: 1) He pretty much put us on the spot to tip. 2)He very easily could have said something negative about us and our $1 tip. 3) The service in here ain't that great, so it's not exactly like these folks are earning their tips. Bottom line, it bothered me and it's bad business. read more

What a wonderful find for my friend and I! This was my first time visiting this ice cream show and it will be on our list to revisit again whenever we go up there. I love that the ingredients are not skimpy for the ice cream. Reasonable priced too! read more

We stopped to grab an ice cream for my son and husband. They were both pleasantly surprised with this roadside stand. My husband had cherry ristra (cherry, piñon and dark chocolate) We also saw that they served tomato basil soup, so we grabbed a bowl, it was rich and thick. It was delicious! read more

I was lucky enough to catch the Taos Cow at the International Folk Art Festival in Santa Fe. They can sometimes be found at big local events and markets. Frankly, though, their ice cream is good enough for the hour-long drive to Taos for their unique flavors. My favorite is the Rio Grande Chocolate ice cream that has lots of pinon nuts, hungs of dark chocolate and a smooth deep chocolate base flavored with Mexican chocolate. All I can say is "Yummmm!" read more

The flavors here are so on point! I've been here a handful of times and their flavor menu continues to change. My most recent favorite was the pinon caramel. Whatever the flavor it will definitely be amazing! read more

You must go here if in Taos! The creamery is excellent. Constantly rated amongst the top in the world!!!! The other food looked good to, but we had already eaten. So delicious. Highly recommend. Skip Baskin Robins or frozen yogurt please! read more

Excited to try Taos Cow on our first trip to visit NM. My husband tried the pistachio white chocolate chip and I had mint chocolate chip. The ice cream was average-good quality chips, but the ice cream itself wasn't very creamy and was below average. We both ordered kids sized portions and were charged for full scoops ($4.50-overpriced). THEN, my husband paid without mentioning the overcharge and the manager said "what, no tip." Absolutely terrible customer service with below average, overpriced ice cream. Go somewhere else! read more

In the world of ice cream , old standards like Haggen Daz, Baskin Robbin and now the amazing Gelatos like Grome from Italy....We have Taos Cow. a little shop in the way to Taos Ski resort. They are right up with the Santa Barbara McConnels ice cream company that former President Reagan frequented (they say). Taos Cow ice cream was Very Very good. downside.. no other outlets yet. hear they are looking to have a second location. and not available in California. If in the area of Taos. make the trip. Good coffee at the location as well. read more

Great place for real ice cream. Great baked goods. Great for breakfast and lunch. Rio Grande Ice cream is the best. You can get ice cream to go too. Everything made fresh to order. Eat outside or in. Art work to check out inside. read more

Perfect place to stop for local, homemade ice cream. A great treat after a day of hiking.

Diverse range of flavors that are homemade and hormone and rBST-free. Huge waffle cones! Friendly waitstaff and quick service (even though it was packed). Shaded outside seating on patio and near the riverbank. How can you go wrong with ice cream like this? read more

Such a relaxed place with great, friendly service and delightful menu. Breakfast sandwich large enough for two and definitely enjoy the Samlet. They make ice cream and have some gluten free options read more

The ice cream is very good. The location is fantastic. Eating your ice cream by the creek is a real pleasure. The staff is so friendly and helpful. My daughter dropped her cone...the tragedies that befall a 3 year old. I went back in to buy her a new one, but they gave it to me for free despite me having the money in my hand. read more
