    **OPEN 2-9 /CLOSED TUE & WED** Nice customer service Festive decor and music CEASAR SALAD: The Ceasar salad was ok, tasted way better with the lemon and added salt VALDEZ SMOKED COMBINATION: The brisket and ribs were good (Had the original sauce) the chicken was not that good but I never get chicken at a BBQ place, *unfortunately, no substitutions allowed) SIDES: baked potato(nice) and corn(not that great) *CHIPS AND SALSA (not complimentary) Nice warm chips I didn't like the salsa. I'm going to give it another chance, I just need to find the right things to order.

    The best food and service I go to Casa Valdez at least twice a week. And it's always great.

    The best food and service at Casa love this place. I go at least once or twice a week.

    Friendly wait staff. Decent food. Grounds in coffee, but it's no coffee shop: which is why this isn't a 5 star.

    Many better places to eat in Taos. Only one tortilla with meal. Tortilla chips appeared to be from a bag. Food so so.

    The best Mexican food in Taos! ( and the least greasy and most healthful). Must tries are the Chili Rellenos and house margaritas!

    Best naked wings ever! Very crispy. Steaks are also very good. NY strip and shrimp will never let you down. Good Caesar salad too.

Which were excellent! For dinner 2 at the table had salmon, one chicken dish and I had the root vegetable bisque followed by bolognese. A table favorite was the house bread and the roasted beet salad.

    Ambience, five stars, service, five stars, drinks, five stars, food, 4.5 stars…read more Their menu changes I think weekly so we didn't bother to take an image. My wife had the salmon, and I must say it was expertly prepared. As I was looking at the skin, I thought for sure it was gonna be a little soggy. The chef prepared that to the point it was a light, beautiful crispy, wafer almost, chefs kiss. The fish was moist and flavorful, and it came with a couple of variations in salsa that brought layers of complexity to the dish. The risotto was a little dense and dry as it was a informed as a cake. The wine selection is good as well. Unfortunately, my dish was nearly an edible. I blame it on myself since I asked the server about the preparation of the pork chop. She went back and asked the chef about the temperature because I am conscious of certain pork elements and since I requested a certain temperature, I think the chef took it out on my requestThe meat itself was a little tough and sadly, the crust was not flavorful at all. I only ate a couple of bites. Again, if I would've gotten trout or something else and just shut my mouth, I probably would've had an excellent dish. It had a variation of rhubarb, turnips, and something else that really didn't feel like it was integrated properly for me. Our experience with the server was wonderful, but let me tell you, the dessert fabulous. They had a house made ice cream, which was banana and a variety of nuts and chocolate chips that should be sold around the world because it was absolutely the best. After our meal, we went upstairs for some more drinks before closing, and had a great cool time up there. Lastly, the layout of the restaurant which was a former residence was really really nice, romantic and intimate.

    I wish i could explain just how magical this bed and breakfast is, but I'm afraid you'll just have…read moreto go and see for yourself. Situated just a mile north of the Taos "hub" Hacienda del Sol is an oasis of tranquility, luxury, and hospitality. The rooms are immaculate (complete with a wood burning fireplace begging to be lit and enjoyed). The grounds are beautifully manicured with local garden decorations and plenty of Adirondack chairs for basking in the sun under Taos Mountain's shadow. You can't paint a better view. Mark and Gerd serve the most delicious of breakfasts each morning. I enjoyed the fruit cup starter with only the freshest fruits, followed by options including French toast, pancakes, biscuits and green chili gravy, cheese omelette, skillet potatoes and eggs, eggs any style, and, of course, bacon. I looked forward to waking up and joining other guests each morning to see what new delicious options we would be offered. I enjoyed the privacy of the individual hot tub times. You can sign up for 30 minute slots throughout the day, 7 days a week, to enjoy an intimate hot tub time with your party. There are some dog-friendly rooms, so bring Fido! They do have some ground rules with the dogs (cannot be left alone in rooms and no sleeping on the bed). Please be respectful guests so that they may continue their hospitality towards canine guests as well. Be sure to bring a crate if you do intend to leave for any amount of time. There are many restaurants just steps from Hacienda del Sol and the staff will be happy to make recommendations or reservations at your request. Within 30 minutes you can be at Taos Ski Valley, Rio Grande Gorge Trails (25 min drive), the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge (12 min drive), downtown (5 min drive), a grocery and liquor store (6 min walk), wine country (40 min drive), and Santa Fe (1hr30 drive). Simply put, we had the most magical experience and cannot wait to make Taos and Hacienda Del Sol an annual vacation spot.

    What a quaint bed & breakfast. The grounds and setting are beautiful…read more We arrived in Taos when it was dark. The B&B is directly off the busy main road of Taos. We did not see the Hacienda Del Sol sign the first time and drove past it. We had to turn around. The second time we tried to get to the B&B we turned before the sign and realized we missed it again. Finally on the 3rd try we got to the B&B. The driveway is shared by a restaurant and another B&B. The innkeepers do not live on-site so they left late arrival directions for us. Each unit has its own designated parking space. We were assigned to the El Pueblo unit. It was a room that had a kiva fireplace (which we couldn't use because of the room above us), club chair, small table that contained cups, Keurig maker, ice bucket, coffee, tea and condiments. The bed was comfy with luxury linens, a dresser and two bathrobes. The bathroom was small. Instead of travel size bath products they had full size bottles of bath products. The best part was there are french doors leading to the shared garden/lawn area where you can see the mountains. They have a good sized hot tub for your use. You have to sign up for a private one hour soak. The sign up sheet is located in the kitchen by the coffee makers. Breakfast is served in the dining area right off of the kitchen. There was a lot to choose from. There was a meat & cheese plate, rosemary bread, prosciutto egg cups, chile egg cups, fruit, bacon, baked goods, fresh squeezed OJ, coffee, assorted teas, other things of which I can't remember. There weren't too many people in the dining room so we ate in there. The second morning it was too crowded in the dining room so we ate outside even though it was chilly. We got to talk to the innkeepers Blair and Mike. We found out they had bought the inn only five months ago. They are lovely people. I wish them success with the inn. We didn't have any lodging plans for the next night so we stayed another night at Hacienda Del Sol. The El Pueblo was booked so we moved to the Rio Grande, which was only two doors away. It was more money per night than the El Pueblo but it was worth it. The Rio Grande was much bigger than El Pueblo. Even the bathroom was much bigger. The one drawback of the B&B was how dark the grounds were at night. Some of the stones in the pathway were broken or missing. All in all we enjoyed this B&B.

    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.
