Now that I’ve traveled around New Mexico, I realize just how good La Cueva is. Well versed in Gluten-free and helpful ad our daughter had celiac. No nonsense service. They know what they are doing and happy answer questions. I have not had chile relleno in years and this did not disappoint. My 15 year old did not believe me that it is good, but loved the chile relleno here. Very flavorful. My son loved his chimichanga and our 22 year old had the huitlacoche (corn fungus) enchiladas. Great flavor. We had huitlacoche while living in Mexico and were converted.
Lots of cheese! Good but heavy. There is a lot of cheese on the food in NM. I love it but can’t eat this way everyday. 😂
Indoor and outdoor seating.
Authentic dining in Taos. The ambiance alone is worth going. Great menu including vegetarian and gluten free and surprisingly good wine list at reasonable prices. A locally owned Italian restaurant complete with antipasto plate. Even if you don’t want Italian you should go. Good portions and good prices. Not fast food and hopefully Marco will tell you a joke or two. No regrets.
GLUTEN FREE options were great. First time we have see GF pizzas in more than one size (they're usually only available in 8" to 10"). Pizanos has full-sized large GF with the best GF crusts we've ever tried.
Our table of 10 had everything from Eggplant Parm to the above mentioned GF pizza to their great sandwiches ("tunnels") and everything was amazing and the server was patient with our questions and provided fantastic service. Great views of the mountains from the outside deck.
Can't recommend highly enough!
The lattes are affordable and always delicious. They’ve got matcha lattes too. I always get the mocha and a gluten-free muffin, for less than what one drink would cost at some places! Chill environment, wifi, friendly service. They have a big cooler of ready-made lunch foods too. Love Koko 🧡
This is our favorite date night spot in Taos! The ambiance can’t be beat and the food is wonderful. Their gluten free options are plentiful and I am obsessed with the GF blue corn bread and homemade butters!
Antonio takes his clients very seriously when they have food allergies. I called before we arrived to make sure he could accomodate my gluten and soybean allergies. I relaxed the moment he described which delicious dishes he and his wife could prepare for me. Plus they are charming and made the lunch experience one of the best on our travels to Santa Fe.
Fresh flowers. Gluten-free options. Don’t be afraid of the line. They work quickly. They make their own bone broth. Fresh salads. Amazing gluten free bread and sourdough. They even have a blue corn bread. Salads, sandwiches, soups and bowls. A nice break from all the cheese I have been eating ay other places;). Fresh. Delicious. We went two times while in Taos. It’s the way I would like to eat every day of my life.
drove past this place for years, because from the road, there was no aesthetic element of appeal to entice me in any way.
my brother and i finally received some positive intel from other customers, and we tried it today.
we were immediately surprised that the inside is much more appealing and pleasant than the outside.
what they have successfully accomplished is a superior version of a clessic burger house experience with highly upgraded options which you could absolutely nevet see at a place like blake’s for example.
a few acceptable beers on tap, bison burger, gluten free buns/gluten free options.
an attractive bar, which is not my thing, but might be yours.
wifi is available.
overall, a pleasant surprise.
Stopped for my husband to have a beer. I ended up having a vodka soda, they carry only local spirits. Ended up having the Parmesan truffle fries, very yummy. Service was excellent!! They have Gluten friendly options.
They have a nice outdoor area to sit in which is what we went for. We started with the shishito peppers and bison relleno. Both were so delicious! We are gluten free, and they offer gluten free bread crisps they call “bird seed” in place of their homemade bread. They are delicious salty crisps you can top with butter. I really appreciate all the gluten free options. They offer many organic/natural wine varieties (labeled in green on the menu). The rib chop was cooked perfectly and delicious, and the employees were all kind and attentive.
Rude staff. They need to take some customer service courses or something. We waited for more than an hour our food even though there was only 3 tables in entire place. I asked for gluten free pasta and I was not warned that there is an additional charge of $5
Went here twice over the weekend, and as vegans the options are pretty underwhelming. You can get gluten free blue corn waffles/pancakes, or anything that has eggs can be made with tofu or vegan egg. The first day I chose tofu breakfast tacos, and the tofu was cubed, not seasoned whatsoever and pan fried for maybe 2 minutes. The pinto beans also had no seasoning. It also took 40 minutes to get our check and we were planning to order more drinks but were unable to since they waited that long to come to our table. The restaurant was not overwhelmingly busy at the time. The second day I ordered the vegan egg omelet and it was cooked in butter, and made me very sick very quickly.
Overall the options were fine because they are the only options for vegans in all of Taos basically.
This was by far the worst dinning experience thus far during our trip to Taos. 3 hour wait and bad tasting food.
Heard about Taos Outback Pizza, from a skier on the lifts, but definitely not worth the time or money. When placing our order at 5:55, we were told it would take up to an hour for our food to be prepared. I added an appetizer to the order, hoping that would arrive during the hour wait. I asked 2 times about the bread around 6:30 (thinking this was the half way point for our estimated wait time) however, the bread was not served until 7:30. The bread was okay, but had a very hard crust. I might rate it 4 out of 10.
While waiting for our food, 3 tables paid their drink tickets and left with out receiving their food. Once our room was cleared out and we were the only ones left, we asked 3 staff members to turn the volume up on the TV but we never did get the remote or have the TVs volume increased from mute.
At 8:55 our final pizza was served (each pizza was served about 10 minutes apart). One person in our group said the pizza was so bad she sent it back and refused to pay for it. I did ordered a build your own with 2 meats and only receive one meat on my pizza. The men in our group did eat part of their pizza but had it put in a Togo box and agreed it was not as good a Pizza Hut or other chain pizza places, ultimately comparing it to hospital pizza . We all made sandwiches when we returned to the hotel.
If you have 3 plus hours to wait, and don't mind spending $30 plus per pizza with half decent quality and taste, there are a few pluses to dinning here, our waitress Holly was kind and apologized several times for our experience. They also served a 10 inch gluten free crust crust which was a request from one person in our group. Others than these 2 single factors nothing good about this place. The manager was not seen and no explanation for the wait time other than there is only 1 oven...poor set up for a pizza restaurant.
Went for our 32nd anniversary. I'm gluten-free. The Pinon crusted trout with green chili goat cheese crema were fantastic. The molten chocolate torte was a creamy confectionery delight. Beautiful atmosphere and excellent service. That for a great experience.
Cool little shop with solid and strong espresso drinks. I had the Miel latte, in order to get that sweet infusion of magical Taos honey with my caffeine hit. I also had the lemon zucchini bread which was super moist and delicious. Also gluten free. Hard to find gf baked goods of this caliber even in major cities.
staff, owners, all very attentive and personable.
personally I’d like to see a few more gluten free bread options, which is what many of us relied upon from Wild Leaven (whole rye, whole spelt, millet, etc)
Now that Wild Leaven is gone, I would say that Bread Club, while not filling that particular gap, is certainly one of the most conscious bakeries Taos now.
We had a great experience using Earth Oven to cater our outdoor wedding. The food was ready exactly when we needed it with way more than enough food for everyone to enjoy (90 people). Everyone loved the food, which was so beautifully presented, and included many options for both vegetarian and gluten free people. We loved working with John to create the custom menu for our event and we so appreciate their willingness and skill to make it happen! Thank you so much.
Loved this place! Bliss was warm and welcoming. Great selection of wines by the glass. Had the meatballs and spinach artichoke dip. They were delicious and gluten free! Cozy vibe. Highly recommend!
Good coffee, chai and matcha. Great people. So worth stopping in. Oh and the prices are the best. Enjoyed a gluten free blueberry muffin this am. Great choices, and homemade breakfast burritos.
