Fantastic tacos, you wouldn’t expect crab and fish to be the highlight, but the crab taco was sweet and delicious and the fish was tasty. Birria taco was great too. Big margarita, a little weak but good.

Stopped here on a drive leaving Taos Ski Valley, was thrilled by my find. Had some of the best enchiladas I’ve ever had, highly recommend this place!

I’ve had paella in Mexico and in fancy restaurants in Dallas and other cities, this was by far the best I have ever had.We were headed to one of our regular go-to spots for dinner and had a change of plans and ended up here for the first time. No regrets and will be back for sure.Allambres, shrimp burritos, and shrimp tacos were all enjoyed by fellow diners. Flan was shared and very good also. Service was great and friendly and just the right timing. — eating dinner at La Terraza de Taos Cocina.

got the fish and chips, quesadilla with al pastor, and the loaded fries with steak. Absolutely delicious. Of all the places i’ve eaten at in Taos, this was the only one where I actually ate the entire meal. Our waiter was also very helpful and kind. Definitely recommend eating here.

I was very impressed with the quality of food and its presentation. I had seafood enchiladas that perhaps were best I’ve had to date.The staff seem to take pride in what they serve, and it really shows.
