It was a great foodie experience. We had the fried Spanish olives stuffed with blue cheese (very rich), the tamale de cardenas (buffalo), and the truchas yerba buena. Beautifully prepared and presented. The restaurant itself is in an historic building. There is a history presented on the back of the menu, but it is problematic if you are indigenous, and... More

My wife and I concur that THE question after a great meal is "which course stood out?" If one course did, the rating drops from great to very good. With a tapas (meze) menu of five courses (mussels, sweetbreads, grilled romaine, oyster soup, desert) none prevailed and all were superb. But that's not all; service (Michael) was excellent and the... More

Fabulous! We ate 2 nights in a row at El Mezze! Not a "usual" practice for us when we have not been in a new locale. More

We thorougly enjoyed our meal at El Meze. Fried green olives, grilled hearts of romaine, grilled trout with mint and a lemon napoleon for dessert. It was crowded the night we dined there so tables are a bit close to other customers. Look at their website for more information. It's an easy drive right outside of Taos. More

We liked El Meze overall but found it slightly over priced and a little pretentious. Some of the menu items were fantastic. The dressing on my salad was to die for, and I had a very interesting mole type pork chile stew. My father and spouse had a Trout that was also delicious but a bit too salty. A few... More

Went to El Meze last night with a couple of friends. We decided to share everything. The information from the hostess and waiter was accurate and helpful, including wine pairing and what we should eat first. Each dish had some surprising element, giving a new twist on what we knew from past experience. Delicious, tantalizing, and thought provoking. Oh yes,... More

We loved the fried olives with blue cheese, served in a martini glass. And the "small salad" with a delightful dijon mustard dressing. But the Napoleon, with lemon curd and fresh raspberries, stole the show. More

First visit to the El Meze Restaurant. Isaac, our waiter, was a real pro, spot on! Good bottle of wine to start; majority of wine list from Spain and Argentina. All plates we shared. First shared plate was steamed Penn Cove Mussels, bread and broth was excellent. Mushrooms on toast with fresh herbs, garlic & Spanish Chevre in mushroom jus,... More

Ugh, it’s hard to admit that we fell for it a 3rd time! When my husband and I dine out, we expect certain obvious needs to be met at a restaurant of this (purported) caliber. 1. A warm, welcoming greeting when we arrive at your restaurant. 2. Quality, delicious food. 3. A clean establishment. 4. Amiable, timely service. The first... More
