Finally we figured it had been put on the wrong side of the Main Street so we went the other way and ended up hungry and ready for a drink and dinner. The only negative is that I couldn't get a margarita other than the wine margaritas they have. Since there is a sweet and sour mix in them I went for a white wine instead and it was perfect for the day. We ordered our drinks and chips and guacamole to get started while we looked at the menu. Our server was super and we sat on the patio in the shade which was lovely. There was plenty of shade for the hot day. To stave off our hunger while we looked at the menu we ordered the chips and salsa with guacamole. The salsa was fabulous as was the rest but I had to comment on the salsa because so often these days it's just too tomato-y or bland. This was flavorful and had a bit of spice. For dinner, we ordered the steak tampiquena and I would get it again. Savory, perfectly cooked and hearty. Check this place out if you are visiting!

The real standout, though, was the flan. It was hands down the best I've ever had: incredibly smooth, rich, and just the right amount of sweetness.

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!

We ordered the white wine sangria, chips and salsa (which are an extra charge), a taco plate with pastor, carne asada, and chicken, along with the carne asada plate. The fresh chips were definitely a highlight, and the rice and pinto beans were both delicious. Unfortunately, the main dishes were a bit underwhelming. The meats were fairly bland and could have used more seasoning and flavor. The salsa was also very onion-forward, which wasn't our favorite. Overall, the service and atmosphere made for a pleasant visit, but we'd love to see a little more flavor in the food. I'd be willing to give them another try in the future.

They have a very nice outside patio with umbrellas and also an indoor dining area. The bathroom is inside the kitchen, so you will see them cooking if you have to go. Luckily we arrived before the place got completely packed. I ordered the chicken blue corn enchiladas with green chile and an over medium egg on top. This came with posole and beans on the side. All this for $16. The enchiladas were stacked and they were packed with chicken. A very nice bite to the chile and egg yolk completed the flavors. Posole and beans were hot and well seasoned. A filling and flavorful lunch. Well worth the stop. Just a note: they aren't opened on Sundays. Monday through Saturdays, lunch is served from 10:30 until 3 PM and supper from 5 to 9 PM. A Texan waiting for the bathroom told me he always orders exactly what I ordered. I would highly recommend it.

I was then surprised when she handed the bag to another customer but I figured it was a coincidence. It was coming up on 40 minutes since I called my order in when the other customer returned and walked passed me and I heard him tell the woman that they got the wrong food. A few minutes later she came out and handed me the SAME BAG THE CUSTOMER just walked in with. I was furious and confronted her and the cook asking if this was acceptable to them??!! The cook replied yes but he could make me new food but I had already wasted 45 minutes!! Since someone else had already opened my food when I got home we threw it away. Once the charge goes through I will file a dispute with my bank. If they see no issue in giving me food that someone else took home and brought back then they have a serious lack of standards, who knows what else they are capable of!!

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.
