22 Best Mexican Restaurants near Ohkay Owingeh

“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.“

“This place is located inside a local gas station however the food here is wonderful if they had a restaurant I believe that they would have a lot more business not that the business is poor by any means it's pretty steady throughout the day from open to close but the seating is limited and it is in fact inside a gas station type of a hit-and-run meal with a full menu that is great?“

“One of my absolute favorite old school burger and ice cream joints. The prices are very reasonable, and actually even cheaper than most fast food burger places, and the quality is fantastic every time we eat here. I have been a Chef for thirty years so I am extremely critical about every place that I go eat and I can't think of a single negative thing to say about this great place. Do yourself .a favor if you are ever passing through Espanola NM and stop for a meal at Dandy's and I guarantee that you won't regret it“
