Rhodas - Taos Ski Valley

This place is located at the base of Taos Mountain. It is in a prime location and for what it is, it's pretty good. Great, Mexican/New Mexico, dishes, and good drinks selection. Because it shares a patio with the common area, lots of squatters that basically take up tables and chairs for long periods of time, but other than that this place is pretty good.

Rhoda's was...OK. It's convenient location right at the base and despite the busy crowds, you can manage to squeeze into a table after ordering at the bar. There are good beers on tap and there's definitely an apres ski energy in the air. Once again, the soup is not hot. Honestly, if the tortilla soup had been the right temperature, it would have been perfect because it was so wonderfully creamy from the coconut milk and was absolutely bursting with flavor. Bummer. The green chile pork stew, on the other hand, was bland and lacking. Our daughter's bacon cheeseburger was pretty good but had way too much of that garlic sauce on it. Fries are fine. We think that our food had been sitting out for a while because there were people who got served before us even though we were way ahead of them. Unprofessional and lazy, but that's what happens when you're prisoner in a ski valley. Three stars but we would be willing to try it again should we ever return to Taos.

For one of the best margarita in Taos Ski Valley, go to Rhoda's. Their bar is stocked with top shelf tequilas and mezcals, as well as beer on tap, wine, and other spirits. I ordered a skinny marg on my first day there, and it hit the spot. My girlfriend ordered a hot Irish coffee, which seems to be another popular drink amongst the patrons at Rhoda's. The food menu. offers small bites to entrees; I did have a two-bite-sized chicken tinga taco $5) made with a legit corn tortilla; we also ordered the chips with a trio of salsa, queso, and guac. Texans, the queso is more of a cheese dip, so maybe just stick with the guac). There's outside seating that faces the base of the mountain, so it's great for people watching. It's dog-friendly, cashless, and counter-service only. They often have a bar outside too.

Paid $80 for: Beef burrito Beef burrito bowl Cheeseburger 2 soft drinks 1 Coors light The burritos were probably 80% rice, 19% guacamole, sour cream and refried beans and literally 1% beef. There was such a small amount of beef it was almost laughable. Normally I might say something but we haven't had a great overall experience at Taos in general and I just didn't have the energy. My daughter said the Cheeseburger was fine. The staff was friendly and the food came out quickly. Unless you want a martini, **** Mary or some other type of cocktail, my advice is just go to the cafeteria place Tenderfoot Katie's next door.

It's fast but when i ordered a chips and queso for 13$ it was such a small amount. when i asked about it they were rude.
