New Mexican Restaurants near Espanola, NM

“The food was amazing! We went here specifically because I love Indian Tacos and other local restaurants -like Viola’s in Los Alamos- only make them on certain days. I’m so glad the Indian Tacos brought us in. They were the BEST. The salsa is not white girl friendly 🥵 (hot hot hot) but it is flavorful and fresh. If you’re traveling through, like us, this stop is truly worth planning your drive around. Thank you Jesus for providing great food and fast service.“

“Excellent food and great service. Definitely recommend!“

“Nothing fancy, but the best taqueria in Northern NM! The Northern NM style tacos are incredible! Super tender meat and very flavorful potatoes are exactly what we grew up with in Northern NM, but so hard to find these days. True old school inexpensive New Mexican food“

“My husband said we should have eaten dessert first! The food was so good it was difficult to imagine the dessert would have been easy better. and yet… oh my goodness! The sopaipilla and fried ice cream were so scrumptious we did not eat until the next day because we were so full from the meal. Sincerely, you are doing yourself a disservice if you miss the restaurant. It is right off of the main highway, making it both visible and easy to find. we were lucky enough to be there on a day when they had a farmers market across the street with piñons and other goodies you could take home. DO NOT MISS THIS RESTAURANT!!!!“

“You know, when people in Taos say, “stop at the gas station next to the casino on your way back to Santa Fe for some killer tacos,” most people probably think, “yeah, thanks, no.”

Most people are wrong.

These tacos are excellent. They’re gas station tacos only in that the kitchen is attached to a gas station. Beyond that, these tacos are in their own taco-verse.

Stop here to eat tacos. Three is filling. Don’t kid yourself.“
