Golden Piñon New Mexican Restaurant

Food is good, spicy and flavorful. Ambiance is pretty bland, definitely a locals place. Service was excellent.Pulling up, we thought we were at some kind of country club, and maybe we were. Ambiance is pretty lacking, though a very nice view of the mountains.Service was responsive and cheerful.Both chilis were good. I liked the red more. Definitely some heat, and also good flavor. Good value for the money. Away from the hub bub of Old Town. A good place to stop on the way to Arroyo Seco or on the way back from Skiing.

So nice we ate here twice on our visit to Taos.This was our favorite breakfast spot in Taos for several reasons...1) It opened at 8:00a so we could have a nice early meal and start our day. Many other places in town opened at 9:00a.2) Service was always prompt and efficient with warm ups of our coffee without asking.3) The food was just right. I enjoyed the blueberry waffle special which also came with eggs (your style) and bacon or sausage. Mr. K. had the black and blue huevos rancheros (special) and the breakfast tacos.And did I mention the view? The restaurant is just outside of town on the road to the Taos ski area and has beautiful views of the nearby mountains.

Great tex mex joint up near Taos. Long wait on the weekend to get a table - there are lots but not too many, and fewer out on the patio which is where you really want to be. Just make sure you get some shade. We waited around 30 minutes for a table - I don't believe they take reservations. Service was a bit on the slow side, restaurant seemed very new with teenagers / young people doing the heavy lifting. Food was better than expected, starting with the chips and salsa. One of the better salsas I've had in New Mexico. Their chile rellenos definitely live up to the hype - mine was excellent, perfectly crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside. Overall good enough to warrant a return the next time I'm in the area.

Get the Taos Breakfast burrito if you're looking to feed a small village. Holy moly that thing was big. Biscuits and gravy also a very large portion. Waitresses were sweethearts and we had a great view of the mountain from our seats. We'll be back.

This place looks pretty new, the service was a bit slow but they are trying their best. Expect some delays because the servers are new and young, but they are working their best. The food is good, I had the burger it's juicy but I wish they were a bit spicer with more green chili: there are some outdoor seating with umbrellas in the back yard. It's cute but it gets hot for lunch time even with umbrella on. The wait time was pretty long.

So good. Every time. That's what you get when you eat here, great food, attentive staff, and peaceful ambiance inside or out.

Golden Piñon is sorta off the beaten path if you're staying in Taos, but is definitely worth dinning at. My wife and I have eaten here the last couple of years and it's always delicious and great service. Today we stopped by and my wife had the cheese enchiladas and I had the shrimp burrito, both of us had our dishes Christmas style and we loved every bite. I was extremely impressed with the way the shrimp were cooked (PERFECTLY) and the burrito had plenty of shrimp also.. Service was fantastic even though Lala and the other server had to take time out to batten down the outside due to a storm that hit quickly. The restaurant is spotless and has very comfortable seating. I highly recommend eating here!!

Went on a Sunday Afternoon end of July and sat on the patio.Food was great, I had the Chile Rellenos .Food out in short order and great. It was pleasant outside but have not eaten inside.I would recommend as a great lunch spot from what I experienced.

Not my kind of place. The oj tasted like it came out of a can, the ham in my egg dish was just sliced lunch meat and the biscuit was dry, cold and stale. I prefer fresh ingredients.

Great for breakfast and lunch and always good Corned beef hash and burgers are always good, breakfast Barrito are huge
