The place was more expensive than Ahi, and didn't taste as good. You can probably do better.

We had reservations for 545 on the patio. Unfortunately we were in and rushed out in 50 minutes. After our appetizer, the waitress asked for our order. We said we would like to enjoy our drinks first…. And was told chef wanted all orders now. Our salad came before we were done with the muffins and our entree right after. We were not offered dessert.
My husband asked for a light beer and got a dark, Guinness like stout.
My service dog was questioned, which happens. The hostess explained that there was a strict “no dog” policy. And then sat a Puppy directly across from us ?!!
Flies. Yes we’re were on the patio, but the number of flies that we had to keep shooing off our food… was crazy.
And our sea bass, which is usually a slightly sweet, buttery taste, tasted more like grouper.
Just super disappointed.

After years of hearing about this place I finally made a reservation. It was definitely an experience. The Taos Sunset was absolutely the best cocktail I've ever had in my life. The food was presented beautifully. The restored church is spectacular, and really fun to fine in such a historic spot.
Cons: The pinon flan was really dry, I could barely get my fork through it. There were fruit flies circling us, and a little bug crawling along the wall beside us, which normally I wouldn't mention but when you're paying fine dining prices you don't expect insects to be part of the experience.

I really love this restaurant—I’ve been here before, and the food is consistently excellent.
This time, it was especially busy, and our waitress seemed overwhelmed. I probably would’ve ordered another drink, or even coffee and dessert, if she’d had the time—or willingness—to take my order. When I did ask, she was noticeably rude. Later, she returned and said, “Oh, did someone already take your order?” which felt more like a cover-up for her behavior than a genuine mix-up.
To her credit, she did offer me a dessert to go, which I appreciated—but the overall interaction still left a bad taste in my mouth. I get that busy shifts can be stressful, but basic courtesy really matters.
That said, the food here is still fantastic, and I’ll be back—but I hope the service is better next time.

Had a great experience at The Love Apple. The food was tasty and service friendly and unpretentious.
Vegetarian options make this a good choice for dining with folks with varied preferences.

Best meal I have had on the road in a month. I had the polenta bolognese and the most scrumptious locally harvested sauteed mushrooms I have ever eaten. A pleasure.

Not just one of the best restaurants in New Mexico, one of my favorites in the entire US. Incredibly charming atmosphere, delicious food with varying seasonal ingredients, and amazing cocktails. If you are in Taos, get a reservation here, and make a second reservation while you’re at it because you will want to come back.

Cute little restaurant in Taos. Very unassuming from the outside. Hard to make a reservation if you don’t have a US phone number, as they only confirm via calling you back after you leave them a message. So I called on the day through WhatsApp and luckily someone picked up and booked us a table. I did try messaging on their social media first and explained the limited contact options, but didn’t hear back.
We had a salad, corn muffins (which were the main standout for us), a tamale, tacos, and a crumble dessert. Plenty of veggie options. All decent, nothing earth shattering. A good option when in Taos.

We heard about the Love Apple while planning for our trip to Taos and decided to make sure to include it as a required stop. This place is a must stop if you visit Taos! The ambience of the location makes it perfect for a cozy meal, featuring amazing food and wine. The wait staff was very attentive and welcoming and made our visit top notch. We will definitely be back!
