Taos Diner

Awesome place- huge portions- delicious green chile- we shared the breakfast burrito which was enormous and soooo good. The coffee is shitty diner coffee, which is fine, especially because there is a great coffee shop next door!

Two words:  Hot Chick.  

No, I'm not talking about our waitress...or myself.  I'm talking about the single breakfast item that made Bryan M. and I return 3 mornings in a row during our weekend trip to Taos.  

Hot Chick = Buttermilk biscuit sandwich with one sausage patty, one egg, and spicy sriracha mayo.  $3.95.

That's right, one of the most amazing breakfast sandwiches I've ever had, for under $4.  So simple, yet they absolutely nail it, made with a gigantic homemade biscuit and that delicious sriracha mayo.  It really doesn't get any better than that.

I also tried a pancake, which was as big as my head and perfectly fluffy.  On our third and final trip I decided to branch out and went with the Southwestern Breakfast: 2 eggs scrambled with spicy chorizo sausage and cheddar-jack cheese then topped with your choice of red or green chile.  I took a tip from 4square and ordered mine Christmas style, which is both red and green chile.  That's definitely the way to go, because they're both so good and completely different.  Some of the best red and green chile I've had!

Next time in Taos, please do yourself a favor and head straight to Taos Dinner and order up your very own Hot Chick....I promise you will not leave unsatisfied.

Really really slow service.  They kept apologizing for how long it was taking.  The food was fine but I would look elsewhere for a breakfast diner.
