You can't buy 'em. So how do you get one of these alledgely fabulous scones? Just order anything and they will bring you one. I have had scones all over the World and while they are usually good, they are NOTHING like the ones they make here. I honestly can't remember having anything that tasted like this or was so yummy that was called a scone.
OK. Sugar Nymphs is in the middle of nowhere. The decor is world class funky. The patrons are a very interesting mix of artists, ranchers, tourists and a few dogs. Truly unique! The food is just fabulous. Local ingredients, talented chef and an attentive waitstaff all combine to make this spot well worth the drive, whether you are going to or coming from Taos or Santa Fe.
I had the awesome scone to start, followed by their green chile, bacon cheese burger and salad. Delicious!! True, there are lots of places that serve great burgers but 50 miles from Taos/Santa Fe, it was so good it was surprising. However, my wife won the meal's Best Choice Award. She had a meatloaf sandwich (with a salad) that was jaw droppingly delcious! The meatloaf was moist, unbelievably tasty and served on the fabulous bread they make in house. I begged her for a couple of bites and soon realized she Out Ordered me big time!
Sugar Nymph was such a terrific spot, I am SO glad we decided to swing by and see what it was all about. You don't have to be in a big city or a culinary destination to produce great food and Sugar Nymphs is living testamenat to this fact. I will go back next time I am anywhere near Taos!! You should too!
