Amanda was very welcoming, as were her colleagues. Young, friendly team with a surprising menu. Kind of quirky but in a very pleasant way. A little over seasoned if anything, overpowering the subtle taste of the main ingredient. We are very happy to have dined there

Food was excellent and has improved significantly over time. Service was friendly and reliable. I wish the ambiance was a bit more romantic — but it’s satisfactory. We will likely make ACEQ a regular stop❤️

Always a great experience, and we weren’t disappointed even with a full house. Some of appetizers were not up to their usual quality but we think that they had a supply source problem this week. The specials were outstanding but could easily be shared

We were greater and seated at a long table made from a single log. It was narrow enough that conversation was easy. They had unique and tasty cocktails. The menu was very excellent. We had Caesar’s, a mushroom that was like a crab cake. For entrees a special wangus Korean bbq tacos. All was seasoned with complimentary flavoring. Well worth the drive to the little arroyo. The art was interesting too.

Creative menu, great flavors, fresh greens. Noise is the biggest issue. Difficult to have conversation. It’s better in the summer with windows open to disperse the noise. Will return, if only for the food.

Everything we had was delicious from the Old Fashioneds to the entrees. The beef bourguignon was very tasty and great value. We had the duck with homemade dumplings, haricovert and mushrooms, meatball and Brussel sprouts apps, and bone marrow with roasted garlic, brie & tomato chutney special app. Unfortunately we were too full for dessert. The atmosphere was casual and comfortable and service friendly and attentive. We live in Austin, TX where there are some great restaurants. At ACEQ, we had one of the best meals we've had in a while. It's well worth the 15-min. drive from Taos. We may head back apres ski!
