Fabulous food. All the sides are vegetarian! Fast and courteous service. Beautiful patio. A little off the beaten path so less touristy.

Wonderful New Mexican cuisine. TexMex needs to take some lessons on these flavors. Every time we’re in this part of the world we stop in.

We visited for dinner one night while we were staying in Taos. The service was friendly and we were able to sit out on the patio. I had the shrimp tacos, my family had enchiladas and tamales. We all enjoyed our meals, very flavorful and fresh tasting. We still talk about the food we had in Taos!

We were looking forward to a great meal, but it was just average. Green sauce was bland. Rellenos were skimpy.Beans needed salt. We were surprised as so many urged us to go. Just meh. Waitress was rushing us, trying to take plates away before we were finished. There was no line, so puzzling. Hope it was just a bad night.

Great spot for a casual and very tasty dinner. Margaritas were delicious, chips and guacamole perfect and our dinners were both delicious. We will definitely go again!

Consistantly delicious meals with true Southwestern flair. My husband and I drive hours out of our way to eat there. Best New Mexican food I've ever eaten. We've eaten there at least a dozen times and celebrate our anniversary there. Great service with authentic southwestern aesthetics. Their green chili is the best I've ever eaten.

ate here twice....consecutive days one time blue corn enchilada plate was excellent...on par with "the shed" in sante fe. next time had blue corn chicken enchildas and they were horrible. had to remove about 1/2 cup of chicken to make it edible, no cheese or onion just loads of boiled chickem. they piled on 1/2 inch chicken over entirety tortilla.....in addition the sauce appeared to be different from the day before...different color, no taste.....tasted like canned sauce..... i really don't get it.

Worth the line if it’s busy! We were visiting Taos and all our friends recommended Orlando’s. Opening at 5pm, we arrived at 5:05 and there was a line up to come in. We knew we had the right place. It was amazing how fast they got everyone seated and the first drinks and appetizers out. The food is great and we plan to come back!

We enjoyed both the service and the food quality at Orlando’s. I ordered a taco salad and my wife ordered a chicken enchilada. The salad was amazing. It was filled with quality vegetable ingredients and an outstanding amount of excellently prepared beef. The enchiladas were seasoned with an outstanding green sauce. The chicken was moist and cooked to perfection. It was stuffed into a blue tortilla, then covered with just the right amount of green sauce and then topped with not too much cheese. It was an excellent balanced plate. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Top notch New Mexican cuisine! I had the smothered shrimp burrito in red and green chile sauce. Lots of shrimp both in and on top of the burrito. The burrito was large and very tasty. Service was fast and friendly and the atmosphere was very New Mexican. Prices are extremely reasonable. Highly recommend this place!!

Very good southwest/ mexican restaurant. Ordered tricolored chips and salsa- I found the salsa to be one of the best I have had, very fresh, just the right amount of heat and nice chunks of tomato. Tried the triple combo plate of enchilada, taco and tamale- all were prepared well. A local Santa Fe pale ale went very well with the meal. Good service, but usually a 20 or 30 minute wait, longer on weekends. No reservations. Outside patio dining available.
