Antonio's The Taste Of Mexico - Taos

Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch Price per person: $20-30

I absolutely loved this restaurant! It's very welcoming, with plenty of options for gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan, and meat eaters. The Mexican food is traditional and well-prepared. They mentioned that they were featured on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives in September. One standout dish was the Chile Relleno en Nogada, which featured finely ground and spiced beef inside a mild poblano pepper, topped with an amazing sauce and pomegranate. I savored every bite of it! They also offer specials from Oaxaca and have a nice bar with a TV that's not too distracting. The atmosphere is calm and diverse, with an outdoor terrace for nice weather. The wooden tables are beautiful and the wait staff is attentive without being overbearing. It's a fairly casual spot in New Mexico, but some people do dress up. The margaritas are great and the guacamole has a nice kick. Overall, it's a fun place and I definitely plan to return. I believe they also offer takeout options. They cater to a variety of dietary restrictions and have ample parking, mostly well-lit.

I drove to Taos for the day while visiting from South Carolina and had the pleasure of dining at Special Drive Ins Dinners and Dives. It was absolutely fantastic and well worth the drive. The skinny margarita was delicious, making for a great lunch experience. Thank you to the staff for a memorable meal! Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Very few places open Sunday evening, so this was a very pleasant find. I 'd call the cuisine New Mexican rather than TexMex . Both of our dinners were excellent, and the service was quite prompt. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $50–100

Steak fajitas were excellent and reasonably priced. Others items like the street tacos and queso were mildly overpriced for the portions and taste. Server only waited on us three times and I was never given a water canter refill.
