Ranchos Plaza Grill

RPG is always a frequent stop during my time in Taos. The food is delicious and in very generous portions. Their green and red chile comes with and without meat. Staff is friendly and efficient. Food is prepared when ordered so it might take a while but it will be worth it, trust me!!! My favorite dish is the Chile Rellanos. I'm already looking forward to next year's trip!!

One of our favorite local spots. Beautiful chile, meat is tender, a great variety of dishes (pasta is amazing), ambience is perfect and the staff is wonderful. Your folks would be proud of you Adam and Raelynn!

I stopped in for a late lunch. The restaurant is only open for breakfast and lunch. I had a bit of a wait and I left my number with the hostess while I looked around the plaza. I was looking forward to sopapillas and blue corn enchiladas. Soooo good!! The sopapilla was light and delicious, it was served with a little honey bear on the side. I had cheese enchiladas with green sauce. Very cheesy and just the right amount of spice. Rice and beans were good too. My sprite came in a big glass with crushed ice, refreshing. The service was excellent and attentive even though it was close to closing. I also got guacamole, salsa and chips to go. Fresh and tasty. The red salsa was a little hot.The restaurant itself is in an old (maybe historical) building and was charming, small rooms and murals on the walls. There was an old school gumball machine in the waiting area.Excellent prices. This place is a little off the beaten path and well worth driving to. It's just outside of Taos yet had a very local vibe.

Our 2nd visit to the Taos area and we've made the the Ranchos Plaza our go too! Breakfast was spot on with the burritos and lunch was delicious. Friendly service, excellent food, just a great place!

What a great afternoon pit stop while visiting Taos' many historic sites. This one is situated next to the famous San Francisco de Asis Church made known worldwide by Ansel Adams and Georgia O'Keefe. Ranchos Plaza Grill is also quite famous with a history as colorful and interesting as the Church and surrounding buildings it shares with Ranchos Plaza. Accolades abound, including the best southwestern meal in New Mexico, the best green Chile anywhere, etc. all of which is true. Unlike so many other famous restaurants that become caricatures of themselves and commoditize their food, Ranchos Plaza Grill has not suffered any degradation of its quality and authenticity. It's the real deal.

The service was attentive and the food was delicious. Both entrees were large. My husband had a chef's salad and I had the stuffed sopapilla. The extra sopapilla served on the side with honey was a nice treat. We chose to sit indoors but the outdoor seating also looked inviting.

The service was friendly and reasonably attentive; the patio and inside areas are clean and attractive. The food was mediocre and disappointing. The lamb fajitas were way overcooked to the point that they were shriveled and tough. The cheese in the enchiladas was thin and runny. The guacamole had too much lime, as if to keep it from turning brown. The beans and rice were good. The sopapillas were good.

Best ever New Mexican food. 10/10 recommend So so good, I can't even explain how wonderful it is.

My favorite place to eat in Taos! Delicious shrimp enchiladas, guacamole and the sopapillas are amazing- not greasy. The shrimp was super flavorful and the building itself, murals and artwork create such a charming vibe. Highly recommend

More like 3.5 stars. Were told 20 minute wait, but was around 10 minutes. Ordered chips & salsa. Disappointed that chips weren't even warmed. Salsa was nicely spicy. Husband ordered 3 item combo - 2 chile rellenos & a pork tamale. I ordered the red chile adovado. While my dish was very good, the chile rellenos were so tough, that we asked for a steak knife & STILL had problems cutting it! Taste was okay, but not fantastic.Waitstaff was ok. Did have to ask for steak knife twice & refill on drinks. Definitely not a standout restaurant.
