The staff are the nicest people and then the other patrons enjoying their drinks while reading a good book or drawing pictures just felt so much like a place that I wanted to be. I judge coffee shops not by the taste of any fancy drinks, but the flavor of just a good cup of black coffee. The coffee here was delicious. With a nutty flavor and smooth finish. We also got burritos b/c when in NM, you get everything that is offered with hatch chile. They were made fresh.

Don't let the appearance or location fool you--this place is an absolute hidden gem…read more You can't even see the restaurant from the highway or the exit ramp. It looks like you're driving into a tiny RV park behind a large white wall, and if I hadn't read the reviews beforehand, I probably would have kept driving. I'm so glad we didn't. The owners were some of the kindest, most welcoming people we've met on our 10 day road trip. The restaurant was spotless--honestly cleaner than many restaurants we've eaten at--and even the large restroom was exceptionally clean. We ordered the burgers and the fresh-cut, house-made fries, and both were fantastic. The burger was one of the best we had on our entire Colorado/New Mexico road trip, and I wish we had ordered more fries! As parents traveling with two young daughters, we especially appreciated how family-friendly they were. They had a huge basket of crayons and coloring books that immediately kept our girls entertained, which was such a thoughtful touch after a long day in the car. If you're driving between Colorado and Amarillo, this place is 100% worth the stop. Trust the reviews, ignore the outside appearance, and stop for a burger and fries. We'll absolutely be back on our next road trip.

When I made the reservation I asked for the opinion of the woman I was talking to about indoors vs outdoors and she said she loves their dining room so I went with inside and I'm glad I did. Cute little vases with flowers in each table not over done and very homey and classy. We ordered a cocktail and some appetizers including the blue cornbread. The cocktails were interesting and fresh. For dinner I had the best sea trout EVER! It was perfectly cooked, tender, juicy and full of flavor. I would get this weekly if I lived there. My husband ordered the tamale and it was a fresh twist on the New Mexican staple. Literally little celebrations in every bite! If we are back in Taos we will definitely return to Love Apple for it all: food, service and ambiance. Well done!

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.

We had breakfast at Michael's Kitchen after it was recommended as one of the places to experience…read moreauthentic Spanish cuisine in Taos, and I'm so glad we went. Our server, Chaniece, absolutely made the experience. I told her I wanted to order some of the most authentic Spanish dishes on the menu, and she came through perfectly. She was knowledgeable, friendly, attentive, and genuinely seemed excited to help us experience the restaurant. If you have questions about the menu, ask for her recommendations--you won't be disappointed. My partner ordered Martin's Breakfast Burrito, and I had the huevos rancheros. Both were fresh, flavorful, and exactly what we were hoping for. Michael's Kitchen is only open Wednesday through Sunday from 7:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., so plan accordingly. We arrived around 9:30 on a Sunday morning and had about a 30 minute wait. It was busy, but the wait was actually enjoyable because the restaurant has several little nooks filled with antiques and artwork by local artists. There was plenty to look at, and the time passed quickly. Taos has many wonderful mom and pop restaurants, but from what I learned during our visit, there are fewer locally owned restaurants serving traditional Spanish cuisine. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to try all of them, but I'm very happy we chose Michael's Kitchen. Between the authentic food the welcoming atmosphere and Chaniece's outstanding service, it was one of the highlights of our visit to Taos.

At an elevation of 8650 this no frills rustic mountain restaurant is located in Cuchara Village. Inside, license plates decorate the walls and there are tables & chairs for seating.

I had the Alpine Burger & substituted a side salad for fries. Burgers are 1/2 pound grass fed beef patties. My burger came with melted Swiss cheese, grilled mushrooms, onions, lettuce, tomato & pickles. Not only was my burger big, it was cooked perfectly & delicious. The grilled mushrooms & melted cheese were yummy too. The side salad was plain but good, it also was a big portion, however it was served on a too small of a plate, making it difficult to mix the salad dressing in.
