    This food is hands down delicious! Not sure if the Mac n cheese, fried chicken, or the banana pudding was better!! Thank you guys!

    Fast service and friendly staff. Great southern comfort flavors on the menu including creamed skillet corn. Good stuff!

    A great little coffee shop with extremely friendly and helpful staff. When they learned I had a…read morefive hour drive ahead of me, they let me know I could get a free refill on my coffee before I headed out. Plus, the delicious breakfast burrito was HUGE! Finally, a cozy fire was burning in the fireplace making it a totally awesome way to start my day.

    Stayed in Taos visiting family for a week and a half. Did a whole tour of breakfast burrito…read moreoptions, and by the 5th day this was consistently our breakfast spot for the next 4 mornings. 1) yes, the burritos are preprepared and microwaved on demand 2) yes, that upcharged salsa is likely Pace's out of the bottle 3) yes, the coffee was pretty mid (from people who are ridiculous coffee snobs with professional equipment at home - honestly the coffee was just fine but stick to a cappuccino or cortado or straight iced coffee) But, I tell you what - that combination of seasoned potatoes, ridiculously crispy and salty chopped bacon, green chilies, the right amount of cheese and somehow still perfectly moist my scrambled eggs, and that nuked feeling in the roof of my mouth from a scorching hot burrito - it was heaven. Something about the sum of its parts had me craving this for days after leaving Taos. It was that delicious. My wife had equal feelings about the chorizo burrito. Also, don't sleep on their quiche. Our toddler, ever the sophisticated food connoisseur, loved the spinach quiche, and we did too. The staff were really nice, small town polite and gave our toddler a lot of attention. Also, they have a drive through - that was really awesome. On our last day, we mentioned we were heading back home and we were sad to not come back for breakfast the next day. So nice. Loved it, will return with vigor when we make it back this way.

    Wonderful dinner and service. Only issue is that I drove past it twice, looking for it. Once there…read morewe had a delightful time.

    My partner and I recently celebrated our anniversary and went to Taos, New Mexico to check it out…read moreas we had never been. This was a must stop recommended by many people so we were happy to secure a reservation and dine there. Ambiance was nice, we enjoyed the warm lighting and how it was inside an old historic catholic church. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable as well. I will say- the food was decent but it was nothing extravagant or to write home about like others have mentioned in the past. A lot of items on the menu have like one or two ingredients that I feel throw the dish off, so it was difficult deciding what to get there. We ordered the cornbread, mussels, the trout and the bison when we went for dinner. By far my biggest complaint with the whole experience was the fact that it is a cash only establishment, with no ATM even available on the property. You have to drive beforehand to the closest Allsups and withdraw whatever you feel will be the most for the check plus gratuity. This really limits what you can/can't get on the menu depending on how much cash you bring. I personally do not enjoy feeling limited by that or having to do math at the table in my head to make sure I got enough to cover it all. This also makes people look at the menu beforehand maybe online to get a good idea before driving to said gas station. They say on the website it's because "By forgoing transaction fees, we can better support our employees, serve organic food, and boost our local economy." but in reality I believe it's because they do not want to pay credit card fees and whatnot. Their sister restaurant Manzanita (which we also dined at) was not cash only though which was odd if they are related, so something isn't lining up at The Love Apple. We still had the best time with each others company which matters the most celebrating a special occasion, but I'm not sure I'd go out of my way to tell everyone that they gotta go there when they are in Taos.
