We enjoyed the outdoor patio at Orlando's as well as the eclectic interior. Our chicken quesadilla was excellent, but the blue corn soft tacos with shredded beef was dry, dry, dry. The worst part was the service. We had to wait over 10 minutes for our change. However, if you have tons of time explore the menu and enjoy. more

We don't get very good Mexican food around my hometown so was anxious to get the best Taos had to offer during my short stay here. B&B Hosts recommended Orlando's - they were right! Had a beef Chimichanga with green sauce - it was superb and for just under $10. Super service too - the staff all seemed to be... more

This was our number one choice for dinner in Taos. We have eaten here before and had wonderful meals. Again, the food was very good. HOWEVER, please WATCH YOUR CHECK!

Thoroughly enjoyed lunch on the patio at Orlando's! Excellent food, attentive service and a comfortable setting. The "Tres Colores" enchiladas were outstanding, and the beer-batter fries that one of our party had (and all of us tried) became our standard for French fries. Saw a number of patrons ordering the Taco Salad - - perhaps next time! more

We had a great all around experience at Orlando's. The food ranked high on my list of best New Mexican fare during a five-day stay in Taos. more

Sat outside on a warm summer day but conversation was drowned out by the traffic on the main road (nearly highway) outside. Food was OK but not particularly special. more

Orlando's prepares New Mexican food that is familiar in the best possible way. The ingredients are fresh and distinct and the atmosphere is clean and friendly.

Orlando's has very good food and I highly recommend not listening to the drive-bys on here who say they would never visit again. Most of us out-of-towners who visit Taos would agree that it is excellent food. more
