The Navajo taco was great and everything is made to order so very fresh. It is also very authentic. The showstopper was easily the cup of green chili I got. It's the best I've ever had and I've been craving more ever since. Perfectly cooked and flavored with garlic. This place is well worth taking a detour.

It was about a 15 minute wait to get a table on a very busy Saturday afternoon. I am bumping up my review since it was a dog-friendly restaurant. Our server, Arthur, graciously brought me more water for my dog and offered me a bowl even though I already had both. For starters I had a Whiskey Smash ($14.75). I enjoyed it. I sampled a taste from my brother's beer flight ($18). My mom's Desperado Mexi Lager also. They were mostly enjoyable. Red apple cider was probably something I would have on the front porch. For lunch I had the BBQ brisket sandwich ($12.50) with fries, pickles, and onions. They did not skimp on the meat. There was BBQ at the table which I added because the brisket was a bit flavorless. I chuckled when our server brought the mac and cheese out to my ultra picky nieces. He stated to my sister-in-law that it was in fact the Kraft-style mac, but it wasn't. I mean maybe he should learn what that means first of all. But second... Can you believe those kids are so picky that they didn't eat a single bite? Eight dollars per bowl with a side. Wow. My kids would starve the rest of the afternoon if their food smelled and tasted half way decent. Lol. I can almost hear the mutterings at my parenting style. Hey at least I drank my overpriced whiskey cocktail. Because our party was so large, automatic gratuity of 18% was added to our ticket. The women's restroom was small and mostly clean, but awkward entering and exiting with other women and girls crammed inside. I did not like how tables in our area were left untouched long after other patrons left. If I had my choice, I would probably opt for an alternative place next time. I was not that impressed by the staff's overall indifference to all the patrons. RATING BREAKDOWN (3 stars overall, bumped up because they were dog-friendly!)

The fries were crispy and I really liked the "spicy" barbecue sauce. The service left a lot to be desired. When our food came out, something was missing from every plate. The runner seemed confused and lost when we asked about our remaining sides. The waiter had to ask someone if they had to-go cups for my 8 year old and the runners had to ask about barbecue sauce for our brisket . I really wanted to like this place, my husband and I have enjoyed their spirits at various restaurants in Taos, but we were very underwhelmed and felt it was very overpriced especially for lacking service.

This is my fault and not the responsibility of the server, but I would have liked more honesty on her part. This was the most expensive meal we had in Taos and not worth it.

After a bit of driving around and calling, we found that we had to take the ski lift to the top of the mountain ridge to play. The ride up was really nice. It was well worth the few bucks to take the ride up and take in the sites. The views were incredible ,and impossible to put into a photo properly. The payoff at the top was about as good. After playing 9 holes we properly stopped into the bar for a round. there were plenty of other people at this spot on the top of a mountain, and it seems like most were just there for the beer. There was even a bachelor party taking place and it was only 11am. I should mention we had on jackets thinking it would be cold but the round got us hot. The place actually ditched our jackets in a cupboard until we were done playing, free of charge. Great spot; I may go again just for the view and the beverage!

You sit, with a buzzer, and wait for the opportunity to go up to the counter to order. Signs at the table say this is due to a "tight labor market". Food was ok. Edible, but uninspired.

The food is so amazing - we love our steaks we eat there with so many sides. Come prepared with a take out box from home to take extra food home if you're not a big eater!

Tip: If you have a stadium seat or cushion to sit on - the hard picnic table benches could use some cushion! So you might bring your own.

Needless to say, the rocky walk uphill was extremely difficult. I asked him a question as we went through the food line and he just grunted at me. Heard a couple other people at our table complaining about him as well. Hopefully he was just having an off day. The show was fantastic! The steak was delicious!! Some of our potatoes were hard and inedible. We had one replaced and the others didn't want to mess with it so they just didn't get to eat a potato. Very cool set up with the tent and chuckwagon.

Started with Wagyu/Angus burnt ends and savory red chile sauce. Tender and delicious. We then moved to the almost crusted Chilean Sea Bass with cilantro basmati rice and locally sourced microgreens and asparagus. Blew me away. The best course, IMO, was the duck confit with corn and hatch chile bread pudding. Accompanied by macerated blueberries and delicious red amaranth micro greens. Chef's kiss. The bouillabaisse was multilayered and seafood was perfectly prepared. To round out our evening, we indulged in a key lime pie that was refreshing and the perfect close to a wonderful meal. The chef and staff are so wonderful. They take care of you and can relate without any kind of pretension. Highly recommend

BFF and I were visiting the plaza and I wanted to eat linner somewhere different. As I researched restaurants prior to our trip, I found this gem and they have happy hour 7 days a week! After reading the many great reviews, we arrived approximately 15 min early prior to them opening as we were not sure how busy it would be on a Sunday afternoon. We arrived prior to the bartender but she showed up shortly after we did and took a seat at the bar!. Now, I genuinely do not like bar seating as I prefer a table, and they have one that sits 10 people but since there was two of us we did not want to hog up that much space. Our server was great and we started off with the brussel sprouts and elote corn ribs with red chile butter. Both were delicious and off the charts! I opted for the chicken sando and BFF ordered the steak frites. Both were delish and full of flavor! We also had a really good pinot cab. Our bill was a bit pricey for their HH menu (116.00 incl 5 glasses of cab total) but worth every penny! Ambience is totally cool, laid back, classy (but not pretentious) with a modern rustic flair on the inside. Will definitely be back if I am in Taos again!
