All we did was sit down and start looking at the menu. Waitress walks up and asks what we went to drink and she gave my buddy the ugliest look with such anger saying "we are out of that." And her attitude didn't change the rest of the time. Being a former waiter (both of us actually) I don't like to under tip but I had to this time. The place looked pretty good for a run down building (it's supposed to be rundown - that's a Taos's "thing"). The food, just okay. Brisket sliders were just a snack. Not a meal. Burger was okay except the cheese should go on the meat and the chilies on that so it does all slowly fall out. Fried pickles were great (except my friend, who ordered them didn't agree). read more

I ordered the Green Chili Pork Stew and was very disappointed. I am not sure what kind of meat was in the stew but it definitely came out of a can. Had too much corn and as far as green chili not sure if it had any. Possibly had a little bit from a can. I had the stew, when it was under a different management and ingredients were all fresh and had lots of flavor. While the stew was very disappointing, I did order a grilled chicken sandwich a few days before and that was very tasty. So I will return, just won't be ordering the stew. read more

Go this monster to-go this afternoon! $15 and loaded! Super sweet counter person to get me in a good mood before a great lunch! read more

Trading Post Market - Green chile cheese burger - Grocery Near Me - Ranchos De Taos, New Mexico

We went in for lunch, followed the sign at the door, grabbed menus, and seated ourselves as instructed. From that moment on, we were treated like we didn't exist. We sat for several minutes with zero acknowledgment. A middle-aged male staff member made direct eye contact with us--clearly saw us--then chose to keep cleaning tables instead. When he finally spoke, it was only to say he'd "be right back." He then continued cleaning and casually chatting with two other men near the kitchen. Serving us was clearly not a priority. It became obvious we were not going to be helped. We got up and walked out. On the way out, we explicitly told them we hadn't been served. The response was total indifference. No apology. No concern. Just blank looks. Here's the part that matters: we were the only non-white people in the restaurant. This was not about being busy. This was not understaffing. This was selective attention--and it was unmistakable. When staff can see you, acknowledge you, then deliberately choose not to serve you, that's not an accident. That's bias, plain, simple, and blatant to see. Racism--subtle or overt--is not acceptable, and it should not be tolerated anywhere that serves the public. We will never return, and others deserve to know exactly how customers who don't fit a certain profile may be treated here. read more

Ordered French onion soup. Truly a simple soup with caramelized onion, beef broth, a sourdough float and Gruyère cheese. Everyone has their own stamp on it. This stamp was harsh and the onion was not caramelized. It was probably thrown on the grill for a few minutes, but onions were tough and had a hard bite. Overall, even after the hard onion the predominant taste was pepper. Can't say much more about it. Can't recommend going ever again. The restaurant needs personable servers and a better look. It just lacked charm. At the same time, I think this place could make little tweaks and be so much better. read more

Couldn't ask for better food. The Al Pastor dish was exceptional, as was the green chile pork stew. What an extensive menu! If you can't find something that interests you then you're not hungry. Very personable staff. All smiles and engaging. Warm atmosphere, with open kitchen. read more

No more Friday pizza. Bummer. Otherwise, food is good, service hit or miss. Parking sucks.

This is definitely one of my favorite restaurants in Taos. Always fresh food, great service and delicious deserts! I eat here at least once a week but usually two times a week. I love all of their menu items but tend to order off of the menu board that changes daily. Very good experience every time!! read more

This was our first visit to this establishment. I had read good things about it and wanted something different for dinner. The Ahi Tuna sandwich was calling me. We arrived and found a sparsely populated but large restaurant with 4 dining areas. We opted for a 3 top in what I'll call "the library". There is a wall full of books on cooking and food. We had this smaller space to ourselves. There was a smaller room just beyond, and it appears to have just one table with a young couple who appears to be on a date. I was happy for them to have such and intimate spot. When you walk in, you enter a large room with tables, a bar and an open kitchen behind. I would have loved to sit at the bar and watch them work, but after walking through the second large room that had a large party having a meeting of some sort, I found the library and knew that was our spot. Service was efficient, knowledgeable and friendly. We were trying to decide between the green chili cheese fries and one of the 5 ! Mac and cheese choices. We went with the fries and were very impressed. They are absolutely loaded with fresh chopped chilies and cheese. Great flavor without being overly spicy hot. As a matter of fact, the spice level was quite mild, which I enjoyed very much, as I had had some of the hotter green chili ever for breakfast and needed a break. I'm amazed to see I typed that as I love the heat, but seriously, I needed a break as my belly was still warm from eating some of that leftover green chili burrito at lunch. This is also why that Ahi Tuna sandwich was calling me. A major break from spicy food. It was the perfect selection. Everything about it was perfect. Big thick chunk of tuna perfectly cooked. The bun was grilled to perfection. LTO and the perfect Mayo topped it all off. She had the burger sans LTO and add cheese. I had a bite and it was absolutely delicious. Thick patty was cooked to "medium" perfection and was juicy and had an amazing beef flavor. We did opt for dessert- a chocolate mousse with a rich raspberry sauce and dollop of whipped cream. It was served in a to-go box but we had no issue with that as most of it was going to be taken home and savored in small portions over the next few days. Neither of us can really finish a full dessert these days. As I exited the library into the front dining room/kitchen I saw all the deserts in a large cooler. They all looked great. This one did not disappoint. To be honest, I can't wait to go back and try more of this menu and get to know these folks better. They are doing something special here. I wish them all the best! read more

I'm not kidding when I say this place deserves a Michelin star. I've been to plenty of Michelin restaurants and this is worthy. I reviewed the trading post years ago when the previous woman owned it. Loved it. Loved her story. Now, often when a place changes hands it gets worse. I'll say it's a little less classy and it's now marketing itself as a market too...that said, wowza. The food is outstanding. Nothing fake. Nothing not fresh. Loads of flavor and comfort. We had green chili stew that came with yummy toasty flour tortillas. Also had the green chili fries. Amazing. They do those things I do at home...heat the bowls before serving, serve on little wooden plates. Broiling things and serving hot. You can see what's in the food. You can watch the guys make it (the shorter guy deserves a raise, he's an absolute machine). The agave wine marg was just as good as before. Pretty much everything we saw come out was beautiful. BBQ brisket Mac and cheese, gorgeous. Freshly cut and fried blue corn chips, stunning. A crazy good looking Ruben (which was invented in my home state, this one looked better than anything you can get back home). Beautiful salads. I can only imagine every single dish on this menu is amazing. I wish I lived down the street. Bravo! BRAVO and happy new year! read more

Great service! Almost the best food I've ever had! Loved the waitress! Dessert was peak and amazing.

Yesterday I had lunch at your restaurant and ordered the chicken strips and onion rings. I had the same about 2 or 3 weeks ago and they were totally different. The new chicken strips and the new onion rings have an issue of their batter separating from the chicken and the onions. Trying to hold the batter onto the chicken and onion is not my idea of a good product. Although tasty, both were a hassle to eat. Please go back to the other. read more

The food was pretty good, the service was okay, the prices seemed reasonable. The seating and atmosphere was pleasant and there was a wide selection of food available. One thing that I felt could be improved was the glassware. I know that sounds knitpicky but I ordered a glass of wine that was over $15, and it was served in a plastic cup. I also felt like it was a hybrid between self service and wait staff. I had to get my own menus, seat myself, no one came around to check in throughout meal etc. Overall it is worth a try, but nothing to write home about! read more

The best omelette I have ever had! Cook perfectly with just the amount of herbs and spices. Potatoes were excellent, as well.

Good was really good. Service sucked. I time our server and it was 18 minutes from the time she delivered our food and when she returned. Never checked to see if the food was okay, refill on tea. In general she acted like she was put out. read more

One of my favorite places in Taos. Low key and excellent food. Yes you've got to be patient but Taos runs at a slower speed. Worth the wait.

Wow! Saw the reviews on Yelp so we stopped by for lunch to meet the Rueben and the Cubano. We were not disappointed! Cute southwest interior, nice staff and a great brunch menu for Sunday. I had the agave wine margarita. It was limey tart and refreshing. The sandwiches and truffle fries were mmmm read more

I have been here several times. Each time I have tried something different. Everything has been delicious. Great presentation. Friendly staff. read more

I had the green chile pork stew with fries. The fries are made in-house, according to my waitress, while onion rings are made from frozen. Good spicy kick to the stew, and fries were good and crispy. The stew comes with a tortilla on the side as well. They have desserts, deli meats and cheese, and food by the pound you can take home. read more

Trading Post Market - Grocery Near Me - Ranchos De Taos, New Mexico

This place is very unassuming. In fact when we got here, it looked like a little grocery market from the side of the building, we thought we had the wrong place! Just go in and it will make sense. This place is AWESOME. My son wanted pizza and I was bummed out because they have some great menu options....bUT DAMN I'm glad we got it. I'm 42 years old, and that was the best pizza crust I have ever had in my life. That pizza was absolutely perfect. We had the fried pickles appetizer that was freaking delicious too. My wife had the brisket tacos and she was eye rolling the whole time. She said the brisket was melt in your mouth, and had a vibrant citrus taste to them that was just on point all the way. Every time we come to Taos, we are going here. I can't wait to come back. Sucks I have to wait a year. Thank you guys for a great meal and a great time! Cheers for the beers! read more

Every time we have gone to the trading post the food is always really good and decent priced, but we have always gotten super shitty service. If it wasn't for the food being so good I would have given a one star rating. read more

You must be drunk or high on something to rate this place above a 1 rating. Eat there last night 12.28.24 around 6p. They had one waitress and 2 cooks. We seated ourselves at a table and waited to be waited on. Nothing happened some we moved to the bar around the grill. I had full view of customers food being prepared oh my goodness. What a mistake on choosing to eat here. There was a man and a woman cooking the woman she was wearing rubber gloves and was ok but the male cook needs to go. He was preparing food with his "Bare hands" and not washing at all not one time in a hour of watching like a hawk. He would wipe his hands on his nasty dirty apron and the handle the food with his nasty dirty hands. He prepared a dish of Mac & Cheese he reached in the container on the prep food bar got 3 bare handfuls of Macaroni and put in a pan before putting it on the grill. Yuck nasty. I thought glad I'm not the one to order that. They spray this Nonstick nasty spray on both side of the meat or chicken to keep it from sticking to the grill. I know that's not healthy or right for anyone to eat after the heavy spraying of that nasty spray... The male cook took a chicken breast of the grill and cut it up with a dirty knife after he got done with cutting it up and putting on a serving dish he wiped of the knife with a nasty used rag (hand towel) and took the nasty rag and wiped off the food prep counter with the rag. Contamination of food is a big issue with germs. Potatoes that was cut up for French fries setting in a pan on the counter uncovered and waiting to be cooked with reaching in with his bare nasty hand and put them in the deep fryer. The floor in the grill area is very nasty to. I ordered a hamburger well done and when it finally got to me to eat I cut into half into, it was so raw I couldn't eat it and sent it back. I watched all this unfold before my eyes and he seem to not care me and my partner was watching them cook the food that customers ordered. I will never eat at this place again and I highly recommend other people not to eat here. The Health Department needs to take notice and shut the restaurant down for unsafe and preparation of food. Be careful people here you eat and watch the cooks and staff at all measures for you safety from food poisoning and germs. Do your homework your paying big bucks for your food it should be cooked and prepared at its best.. Don't eat here for your safety and well being!!!!!! Sincerely, JJ read more

This is some of the best food in Taos. I give this place 6 stars for the food and knock it down to 5 because it's a little weird in here. A few easy updates could make this place feel more cozy. The service was good, not great. Pulling back out onto the main road is also a bit scary. read more

I live in Ranchos De taos and eat here once a week.... food is very good, people are super nice.. if they are really busy, service is a bit slow... but no matter, we enjoy our conversation... highly recommend!! read more

I ordered the green Chile cheese fries and the BBQ brisket Mac & Cheese. Both were delicious but the Mac & cheese was by far my favorite. 10/10! read more

The food was amazing we are always looking for the place to eat in every town. This is the place if you're in Taos. I had the burger and I kept looking at the menu thinking of what I wanted to try next time. Seriously everything was amazing and would highly recommend. read more

Probably one of the best meals I've had on my trip to the area. Can't beat that southwest/Mexican mixture done right. Everything was delicious (though you could probably hold back on the sweets), service is friendly and the vibes are chill. read more

I am a huge fan of Chef Ky's food. This is elevated diner food at its best. Prices are very reasonable and everything is delicious. Highly recommend the truffle fries! read more

This place is wonderful. They were recommended so we decided to give them a try for take-out. The atmosphere is humble, but clean. The waitress/hostess/cashier was very friendly, she greeted us when we came in, and came over quickly to take our order. We got take-out for four, two burgers, a Philly cheesesteak and a quesadilla, plus some green chile cheese fries. It was all so good! My burger was especially great, a full half pounder cooked exactly as requested, with generous amounts of cheese and of course green chiles. And the green chile cheese fries were just crazy good, so full of flavor! The Trading Post will be a don't-miss stop for my family and me when we visit Taos from now on. read more

The food was good enough, but the service was horrible. Every dish took a long time & came out at a different time, I had to go get my drink from the bar because the waitress never came back with it, and when it was time for the check, we had to go find her. There's lots of restaurants in Taos so I'd skip this one. read more

I was so disappointed. I must have picked the wrong things. Onion rings appeared frozen from a truck. Totally generic Philly sandwich and burger. If I try again I'll go with specials. . read more

Great food, looked like high quality ingredients. Next time I'm in Taos I'll probably stop in again.

I think the Trading Post Markets red chile chicken carnitas enchiladas are the best in town. The Caesar salad is really good too. Service is quick and friendly. read more

The food here is absolutely delicious! Highly recommend the green chili stew and my husband's favorite dish is the green chili cheesesteak. The food is obviously very fresh and homemade so no matter what you pick you can't go wrong here. read more

Loved it, green chile cheese steak was delicious. You can tell the chef cares about the food the same way I do when I cook. And a rare thing in a place like Taos read more

Wow! Totally worth the wait to try this place! I enjoyed everything about it and will be a repeat customer on a regular basis!!

I have heard about this restaurant but didn't go until last fall. It has become one of my favorites. Everything I have ordered in all my visits have been delicious. The Brisket Mac n cheese was yummy. As were the buffalo chicken and the other chicken option. I look forward to my next visit. read more

This place is an absolute gem! Got the green Chile and bacon Mac and cheese and fried pickles and both were as impressive as the Rio Grande!

My wife and I visit the Tradingpost Market and Cafe at least three times a week. Between the two of us, we've tried almost everything on the menu. We would have completed it by now, if it wasn't for the daily specials! We've never been disappointed, everything is excellent! The menu is varied enough for everyone to fond their "new" favorite meal. Everything is cooked to order and pretty much the way you want it. Some accommodations can't be made. I love the visual. Each plate is a work of art and tastes even better than it looks. Just remember, parking in front is scarce, but there's additional parking around the corner. It's well worth the short walk to get a really great meal. For what it's worth, we enjoy the atmosphere too. read more

We are local, so we eat at the Trading Post Market 3 times per week. It is now our favorite Taos restaurant for casual dining. We usually have the lunch specials, a green chili cheeseburger, or the tacos. We also never miss a Sunday brunch. It has a friendly atmosphere and we like to chat with Chef Ky about the ingredients in his recipes. read more
