Customer Reviews

"Authentic Adobe Flavor & Local Warmth Ranchos Plaza Grill We came for breakfast at Ranchos Plaza Grill, right next to the historic San Francisco de Asis Catholic Mission Church one of the most iconic spots in Taos. The restaurant is located inside a beautifully preserved adobe building with original wooden beams, colorful art, and the warm feel of old New Mexico. We arrived around 10:30 a.m. and were greeted by a friendly host who added us to the short waiting list (about 20 minutes). While waiting, we explored the nearby church a perfect way to spend the time. When we returned, our table was ready a rustic wooden setup that perfectly fit the atmosphere. We ordered fresh hot coffee (excellent, strong, and perfectly brewed) along with Huevos Rancheros with green chile (vegetarian option) and the Plaza Grill Classic both were flavorful and beautifully plated. The chile had just the right kick without being overpowering. Make sure to try the Sopapillas, but note they're only available after 11 a.m.! Luckily, we timed it right. Service was quick, polite, and genuinely warm. Free parking is available outside, and the restrooms were clean and well-kept. A must-stop in Ranchos de Taos for anyone exploring local food, adobe charm, and authentic New Mexican hospitality. Ranchos Plaza Grill Ranchos de Taos, NM Local flavor, great coffee, and true Southwestern soul."

"Historic location and it has this fantastic grill restaurant. It has great food and it's next to the most photographed church in New Mexico. I had the tacos and they were phenomenal."

- David T.

"Wow, finally Mexican food with flavor. Tamale, cheese enchilada, relleno were all good, and the taco was actually great. Beef fajitas had good flavor. Lunch portion was perfect, came with 2 flour tortillas. A little slow on the holiday weekend. Single bathroom at the bottom of the restaurant floors."

"We really enjoyed our lunch. The staff was friendly and attentive. The food was delicious. The sopapillas were the best ever. The burger looks small next to the heaping salad (which was a great salad) but it was thick and cooked to perfection. Very filling. I couldn't eat it all. Kids had a Xmas burrito and cheese quesadilla. We can't wait to return. We already know what we want to try next."

"The food was excellent with wonderful flavors however the wait was long to get seated and for our food to arrive. Then our waitress neglected to bring us our sopapillas as promised. It was cold in there waiting that long till we got our food. We arrived at 12:30 and finally left at 2:50 pm."
