La Cueva Cafe

First culinary experience in Taos! My mouth is watering as I write this review. My friends and I walked around the street facade to find the main entrance, then we were guided to a separate building with additional seating. It felt exciting and welcoming. Customer service is excellent here.We each ordered a combination plate - enchiladas, chile relleno, and a taco. Little bit of everything (with Christmas chile of course) perfect for sampling the main menu items. The food tasted phenomenal, including their house made salsa. Would come back here again next time I'm in Taos!

This place is little and kind of in a hard spot to find. It looks unassuming from the outside. Inside, the place is tiny and cozy, with a fireplace I believe. Not a lot of room to move around, but worked for dining alone. The service was good.The menu is interesting and varied, with different sauces and kinds of dishes. I was pleased with the interesting variety of vegetarian options. My food was really delicious. It totally hit the spot and my was worth my lunch stop on my drive. My margarita was pretty and tasty, as were the chips and salsa. I left full and satisfied.

What a cool, quaint space. There are only a few tables inside. The patio would definitely be the place to be in the warmer months.Food was good, quite good.If you are looking for a simple, comfy taqueria close to Old Town, this is a great choice.

They really throw down on a smothered red chili chimi! Love that they have vegan options and are super accommodating for dealing ingredients out. Definitely recommend.

This is one of the best Mexican food places I've been to. The enchiladas had a unique taste. Amazing! I loved the chicken tortilla soup too! The service was great. The staff is friendly and brought the food out quickly. Definitely comfort food. The inside of the restaurant is small. I imagine in the evenings there is a bit of a wait. I can't wait to visit Taos again, and stop here!

A cute little cafe with a few indoor tables and a patio space with multiple outdoor tables with large umbrella canopies!The servers were all super friendly and nice, and while the service was a little on the slower side, we did not mind too much as we were there to relax in good company. The best entree that we ordered was the shrimp enchiladas and the second best was the beef chimichanga plate! We also ordered the combination plate but felt that the other two were the stars of the show.A few things to be aware of, there is limited parking in the area due to ongoing construction work being done. Also, due to the nearby construction, there is debris and the lingering smell of heavy tar in the air while you are sitting in the outdoor patio area. In my opinion, the portions are on the smaller side and if you are super hungry you may want to consider ordering an appetizer + entree, or even an extra entree to split. Unfortunately, I have to detract a star because the iced Diet Coke that we ordered was flat and also had the aftertaste of soap. Hopefully this can be fixed in the future for other guests!

There are several different options of where to dine. You can eat inside in two different casitas or outside on a patio. I enjoyed trying to brush up on my Spanish to communicate with the wait staff. We had the beef nachos with were a great portion size for two people. They were like little tostadas. I had the chicken enchiladas with red. They were healthy and cooked well. It's unsuspecting from the outside but the comida es muy bueno.

This was a highlight and a fun spot. We had seats outside and the biggest thing to note was the quick and friendly service and the amazing flavors of the food.I haven't had chili rellanos before so was looking forward to this taste of New Mexico. It was an amazing flavor of just enough heat in the green sauce to make it interesting, but not enough to overpower combined with the cheese and perfect fry...not grease but crispy and crunchy. I ate every last bite! It had a great mix of flavors and paired so well with the beans and rice.I liked the spot and would go back again and can honestly say it was perfect!

This place was highly suggested online and by some locals. It is near the downtown plaza and has tons of seating. They even grow some of their fruits and vegetables there! The service was quick and kind. I got the combination plate. The beef taco was moist and flavorful! Sadly the rest of the plate didn't meet the same standard. My chicken enchilada was dry and the red Chile had a flour taste. my Chile relleno was fine but not amazing.Overall, I enjoyed my time and would go again to try other foods.

Great spot for lunch or dinner while in Taos. Searched for fire bread on Yelp and this place came up - though there was no fire bread, got to eat some yummy food. There is no reservation, so you do need to wait in line. And there is both indoor and shaded outdoor seating, but indoor seating is on the limited side. I tried the combo plate, which hit the spot. One modification made was I had mole sauce on the enchilada vs the red/green sauce for a slight up charge, but it was so worth it! Literally everything was so good!It's a cute little spot worth stopping in for a meal! The menu does have non-Mexican food for those looking a different option - so should meet the needs of groups with different cravings.
