Antonio's The Taste of Mexico

What a fantastic place!

It was pretty busy when we arrived, but were sat at the bar in a nice spot to relax.
The service was great - everyone was friendly despite being overwhelmed with orders.

The food came out hot and packed full of flavor. The dishes were creatively designed and executed flawlessly.

Great place to unwind and enjoy a hearty meal.

This restaurant offers a unique take on Mexican cuisine. Chef Antonio himself is incredibly welcoming. The fish taco and tortilla soup is a must-try; it’s bursting with flavor. Don’t miss out if you are in the area!

Best meal in Taos!!!! Had the signature dish Chile Relleno en Nogada and I am so glad I did. This dish is exceptional. Excellent service and margarita was delicious as well. Highly recommend!!!!

We had an Great experience at Antonio’s. The service and food was Amazing. I strongly suggest you let Antonio provide recommendations because the Chili Relleno was amazing along with the Salmon dish - with an Antonio twist.

If you visit this amazing little town (Taos) do yourself a favor and stop by Antonio’s. Just get there around 4:30pm ish before the dinner rush.

NOTE: There is a mandatory 20% tip no matter how many people. The mandatory part was a little surprising. (Hence the -1 star).

I realllly loved this restaurant. Friendly to all, lots of gf vegetarian, vegan, and meat choices. Traditional well done Mexican food. They told me that in September , Diners- Drive-ins and Dives , had come and filmed them. Especially delicious was a house Speciality: Chile Relleno en Nogada, using finely ground and spiced beef inside a poblano (not spicy) chile.. with a most amazing sauce and garnished with pomegranate. I ate every bite. From regions around Oaxaca. Many specials as well. Nice bar, there was a tv.. but it wasn't obtrusive. Calm atmosphere, many different types of people there, outside terrace in good weather. Beautiful wooden tables. Wait staff very nice, paid a good deal of attention, but not too much. It's NM so fairly casual. Some people dressed up. Margaritas good! Guac.. spicy. Fun place. I WILL be back! P.s. I believe they do take out.

We live in Wa state and visiting Angel Fire, NM friends. They took us to a restaurant in Taos, NM called "Antonio's Restaurant" where Guy Fieri visited and experienced Antonio's dishes. One dish was the Illegal Burrito. Another very amazing dish was called " Chile Relleno En Nogada" which is his signature dish. We met Antonio and had a spectacular night with him. He's very friendly to all his customers and spent a lot of time hanging with us at our table. This Restaurant highly highly recommended. The Taste of Mexico Restaurant , Antonio's " I have ever eaten in. My dish that evening was his Green Chili Stew/ Beef. 😍 OMG, I loved it with my whole heart! Folks, I absolutely , positively, recommend you stop here! Great hospitality by Antonio himself. He served our dishes to us!!!! You can see the video of Guy Fieri at Antonio's on YouTube. Was shown on food Network as well.

Delicious food, strong margaritas, and outstanding service… what more could one ask for?

Visited Taos and received a recommendation for Antonio’s. Started with the frozen house margarita and the chips and queso. (Everyone in Taos charges for this so be ready for that.)

Antonio himself greeted and served us. The wife wanted the chicken enchiladas but Antonio recommended the Mango Chicken Enchiladas… she was very happy with the outcome!

Try not to laugh, I ordered the Mexican cheeseburger. Mexican because of the roasted green chilies on it. I was literally blown away by the flavors!!! If you order this, you may get snickered at but, you won’t be disappointed!!!

We were stuffed and satisfied at the end of our meal and reaffirmed that patronizing local establishments is 100% the way to go!!!

Being in Taos, I figured it was a great place to satiate my desire for some decent Mexican food. I did a little research and found Antonio’s which was just down the road from where I was staying. When I walked in, I was immediately greeted and seated. The staff was extremely friendly and the service overall was excellent. I saw on the specials board a mushroom enchilada with sirloin beef tips that was billed as “out of this universe.” How can one not try that?!?! Let’s just say, from the first bite, I was floating off into outer space. It was absolutely delicious. Plus, the delicious chips and guacamole along with the option for gluten free beer.. Possibly the best Mexican food I have had in years. And the bonus was seeing all of the photos of Guy Fieri who visited in Sept of 2022. He picked the right place. And you should too!

The carne asada tacos were really nice, it came with four tacos. Service is also really nice. They allow dogs on the patio. The tres leches cake is so good! A great place to eat a quick lunch.

The restaurant is beautiful, the staff was absolutely wonderful and the food was absolutely incredible!!
We eat a lot of Mexican food, Antonio's was full of authentic bold flavors and absolutely delicious.

Best mexican food that I have had so far. Exceptional service as well, they come and talk to every guest to make sure everything is good. Mango cheesecake dessert is on point. Not too sweet.

The food was delicious! The service was really fast, our servers were nice, the outdoor seating was excellent, and the food was the best we had in New Mexico! The ceviche tacos were particularly great, as well as the goat cheese salad. I definitely would recommend stopping in if you’re in Taos!

Great food & drinks! Staff was friendly & knowledgeable. Spent a few minutes chatting with Antonio. We'll definitely go back next time in Taos

Love Antonio’s! We were lucky to have Antonio as our server and the service was great. Food was delicious! If you are looking for good food at Taos definitely recommend coming here!

They only take reservations for 6 or more. We got there around 6:00 on a Sunday and every table was full. There are only about 10 tables. Outside seating was available but it was a bit chilly. There were seats at the small bar so we sat there. Took awhile for someone to acknowledge us, but it was super busy. Drinks were a bit pricey, $14 for Tito's and soda, but it was a large glass and a good pour. We shared the steak fajitas with rice, beans and delicious guacamole! All was tasty! Steak was sizzling and tender and a good portion. The owner Antonio took the time to chat with us even though he was busy waiting tables! His wife Sarah recommended the chocolate cake with raspberry and mango sauces. OMG! moist and delicious and large! Enjoyed everything! Would go back.

It's a little pricey with interesting ingredient choices on some of the items. The Baja (fish) tacos were really good & the pico is fresh.

Great tasting food and service. Enjoyed a Valentine's meal here. Food was not only tasty, but plated beautifully. Definitely recommend.

Couldn’t be happier with our lunch at Antonio’s! We had the enfrijoladas and a special which was crispy sweet potato tacos. Both were delicious! Green chili, salsa and guacamole were excellent as well! Great atmosphere and service. Chef Antonio served us himself! Highly recommend!

Antonio is a great host and the food is delicious!
We absolutely enjoyed our meal and the nice people we met at Antonio’s! No visit to Taos is complete without a meal at Antonio’s!

Wonderful food and service, would go back anytime we are in Taos!!
