I ordered chile rellenos with red and green chile sauce (Christmas) and they were some of the best I've ever had. The prices were some of the lowest I'd seen in Taos and the food exceptional.

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!

Worth the drive from Santa Fe!…read more We're staying in Santa Fe this week and ate around the Plaza, which was fine, but La Terraza de Taos Cocina in Taos blew it away. Hands down the best smothered steak burrito of the trip. The steak was tender and full of flavor, and the whole thing came smothered in chile that had real depth and just the right kick. This is the kind of New Mexican food you hope to find when you travel here: honest, generous, and made with care. No tourist markup, no gimmicks, just seriously good food. If you're visiting Taos, skip the chains and come here. And if you're in Santa Fe, it's honestly worth making the trip. We'll be back before we head home! This place make my belly happy

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.

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!

I like that they serve it over a warming candle so it remains easy to scoop with your chips. The salsa was spicy but in a good way. My Chile Relleno en Nogada was excellent. I love Chile rellenos and this one was unique. Not battered and deep fried like most. The ground beef inside was seasoned with a nice warm cinnamon tone and the sauce and pomegranate topping was very good. The beans are whole, not refried which I prefer. Fairly dry though. And the rice was average, not bad not great. Marco was our server and was very nice. A bit pricey and smaller portions for Mexican food. But the chile stole the show. I loved it.

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.
