What an amazing gem this restaurant is. They serve breakfast and lunch all day. I had the blue corn pinon pancakes. They were amazing beautifully grilled and lightly sprinkled with powdered sugar. The coffee was nice and strong. I was amazed at the bakery items. The green chili cheese croissant is amazing so is the almond bear claw. The service was impeccable. The place is family run and kept very neat and clean. You can tell a lot of care goes into this place.

I believe this is the only five star review I left while visiting Taos, New Mexico. The food here was amazing and the portion size was more than you could eat. The price was very economical for the size of your meal. The atmosphere was outstanding. The wait staff is extremely courteous, professional, and polite. I can’t say enough about this place. I would definitely come back. If I was to live here, I would eat here 8 days a week. Grace who was our waitress was phenomenal. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!

Went during lunch hour (12:30pm). Quite a line, BUT IT WENT FAST. Once we tasted our order, it was easy to see why the restaurant is so busy. The meal was delicious! I had the open faced hamburger with fries, all smothered in some of the best green chili I've ever eaten! My spouse had the Veggie tacos and they were great too! I'll be back when we come to Taos again.

This restaurant is one of the very best breakfast place. A nice variety of things to choose from. The place is full of local atmosphere. Servers cheerful and quick. Our food came out quicker than we expected, and was delicious. Highly recommend. Get there early, it is a busy place!

Oh my. This was my first time as it's a bit of a drive but it was worth it! I got all the donuts and they were amazing. My one complaint is that although the giant cinnamon rolls look impressive, the bread to filling and icing ratio is off. Way to much bread, very little cinnamon filling, and not enough icing.

Solid diner experience. A very cute space, large portions for the price, and quick service.

Came in for breakfast while on vacation and this did not disappoint. The menu is vast, there's something for everyone, and reminiscent of old school diner food, with an old school country vibe. Everything was delicious. Definitely recommend checking this place out
