Quick service. Good drinks. Relatively quiet. Food is well made. Very close to the slopes

When I’m in Taos Ski Valley, I hit all the restaurants, But Hondos is my favorite. The rueben, mussels, green chili stew. They’ve got a hard working staff, friendly.

Was there with a group of family. we all got there about the same time except for 2 ppl who came 5-10 mins after us. we were split between two waiters and 3 tables. when the other two tables ordered there food, my whole table was there as well but we didn’t get to order til abt 10 mins after. the other two tables got their food and finished eating but my table still didn’t have our food at all. it had already been an hour and a half- two hours. the rest of my group in the other two tables had finished eating and was leaving. when we asked the host about it he gave us attitude saying “the food takes about 40 minutes” then we said okay and he proceeded to say “and yall all came 20 minutes late” with an attitude. we waited about another 20 minutes before we got our food. the food was mediocre at best. keep in mind all we ordered was a house salad and a plain and dry cheeseburger. the whole experience overall was not good and i would not recommend to anyone who is actually skiing/snowboarding on the mountain as it wasted a majority of our time for other activities.

Beware of this place!!!. I came to eat with my family in this restaurant, its located in the Taos Ski Valley. The food is okay, not bad, but not great. When you paid, they dont give you a receipt, they just offered you to pay with a tablet. You dont get to see your receipt. They overcharge me and basically didnt let me see a receipt. They basically put a tablet in your face to pay and you have to tip them 18% and up because those are the options they give you. If you decide to eat in this place, ask for a paper receipt before giving them your credit card.

Surprised reviews aren't even higher. Went here because Brownell Chalet was booked out. Super impressed! Patty Melt and Reuben were fantastic and service was quick and fries were piping hot. Other standouts among our party was tacos, warm spinach salad, Philly cheese steak and buffalo wings. Great food and great service and very reasonably priced considering destination.

The waiter at my table was nice and efficient. However, some of my family's food took about 40 minutes longer than the rest of ours. The host was also extremely rude. Food was blah at best.

About what you would expect for a ski valley restaurant so no hard feelings. We came here for lunch with a friend after a morning of skiing, and while the atmosphere is pretty generic, it did feel pleasant to be in the warmth with some beer and festive company.The food is...not great. The lamb green chile stew came out with a mountain of sour cream on top, so that was unwelcome and gross, and scooped off immediately. The soup itself was not nearly hot enough (this will be a recurrent theme in all of Taos--do their stoves not work??) and the lamb was tough and unappetizing, but we did enjoy the broth. The chips sampler we got had a too sweet salsa and too oniony guac, but the queso was passable. Our friend's nachos weren't half bad but certainly nothing special.You take one look at this place and you know exactly what kind of quality you'll get, so we we were neither surprised nor disappointed. Ye olde three stars.

I ordered a Reuben and I ate outside on the patio. This is a reliable restaurant. They are always open. You have a great look up Al's run from the patio. The staff is good. The food is good.
Great service and food. Too bad the restaurant isn't better configured as you are constantly tripping over people.

Our last day in the ski valley was a Monday and almost everything was closed. A local recommended Hondo's and said to order the enchiladas if we wanted a real New Mexican dining experience. We arrived and there was not another soul in sight except the owner/manager/bartender- I'm not sure, but he was standing outside and seemed happy to have some customers. The ambiance was dated and a little gloomy, but I can picture it as being very cozy and comfortable in the winter. We ordered enchiladas- one order with green chile, one Christmas style (red and green) and a Reuben with fries. I also ordered a "spicy margarita", which was pretty pitiful. The best part about it was the tajin on the rim of the glass. One of my teenage daughters is queso crazy and ordered the chips and salsa with queso, even though the person who recommended Hondo's to us told her the queso would not meet the expectations of a born and raised Austin girl. She was right. The salsa was sweet without a hint of heat and the queso was probably nacho cheese out of a can. But, the enchiladas, y'all!!! They made up for it all! The posole was outstanding and the enchiladas were a gooey, delicious pile of comfort and joy! My other daughter enjoyed her Reuben and commented how fresh and hot her fries were. I say always trust the locals and this was a win!

Definitely the worst meal I've had in TSV. The service was very subpar with ignoring several of my orders. I should've known it wasn't going to be great as soon as I was the only group here. Food tastes like it was made a weeks ago. Don't come here. Just adding this for the ambiance part.

Hondo offers some great New Mexican comfort food and pub fare at the base of the mountain in Taos Ski Valley. We ate there... two.... three times? I mean, there aren't too many options in this cute town, but Hondo has affordable eats.We tried everything from Philly green chili slides, chicken enchies with red and green chilis (Christmas-style), nachos... and a lot of red wine! I don't rec the margarita btw. It's all mix. (If you want a good marg, order from Rhoda's a stone's throw away.)Additional pros: Dog friendly (even inside), fire place, busy bar with people watching, outside patio... food comes out fast!

This is the best lunch in Taos Ski Valley. The enchiladas are bomb, the cheeseburger is fantastic, overall everything is really, really good. And it's a ton of food for the money. Awesome.
