Bella's Mexican Grill

Visited here with my boyfriend. Food and drinks were amazing especially the fresh squeezed lemonade and coconut cream flan. Service was a little slow but it appeared that there were only 3 people working. Overall it was a very good pick when looking for a place to eat. More...

It is one of the best Mexican Restaurants I've ever eaten at. The service was great with very friendly staff. I'm so glad it was recommended to us. The Chile rellenos where the best

We have been eating here for 3 years and the cuisine is consistently excellent!  I have always gotten Chile en Nogales and elote but today, August 14th,, I had their salmon tacos with an incredible mayan sauce and I was in food heaven!  I don't even like salmon.  Please give this marvelous restaurant a try, you will be very glad you did!

I think Bella's is on par with Pasqual's. By far the best ingredients and mix of flavors.  Their salsa is smokey. Holiday desserts are always a surprise and hard to choose from. The friend baba sundae is amazing. One of our favorite restaurants and kid friendly. More...

While vacationing in Taos, New Mexico, my husband and I chose Bella's Mexican Restaurant for dinner. There is a lovely patio, but unfortunately a rain storm drove us inside. We each chose a glass of Tempranillo wine and shared the Beef Fajitas which were excellent! Our server was new so a manager stepped in and helped. We liked the extra attention. More...

In Taos for a week, we were in search of great New Mexican food.  This in the only place that delivered.  With a different menu, we had fun choosing because so much of the menu was unfamiliar to us.  The pork and the beef were both mouth watering, and our service was great, even though I can't really rate that as were were the first ones in, so we were the only patrons there.  It may have been a bit overpriced, but it was very good.

Went on my one night in Taos when it was recommended to me by my hotel & made a reservation since it was Saturday night just in case. It was pretty empty & I had wonderful service & food. The dish recommended by the waiter was delicious and came out quickly. I was sent on my way with a delicious piece of flan to eat by the fire in my hotel. Would definitely return More...

Stopped by on a nice Friday afternoon. Got nachos and fried jalapeños. Good food and friendly service. The roaring fire in the kiva was a nice surprise.

I've eaten here three times over the past year. The big draw, for me, is the Elote. This roasted corn appetizer is simply amazing. They also have a nice, upscale, southwest food menu. Not your average fairI also appreciate the quite, elegant atmosphere.I'll be back next time I'm in Santa Fe More...

Skied all day so we were not in a hurry but were seated for at least 10 to 15 minutes before acknowledged. Ordered drinks and water, another 10 minutes. Again we were not in a hurry, just thirsty plus could have sold a few more drinks while we waited. I believe it was the Chef/owner came out to take our order and explained the menu and house specials. Very well done and with passion. Food was hot and delicious with a warm fire in the fire place. Would definitely go back as overall very pleasant. More...

Great salsas & green chili, incredibly friendly service. Tons of gluten-friendly options. Loved the guacamole and a big bonus - I learned how mash avocados at home more efficiently!

We wanted Mexican but were so tired from skiing that we didn't want to go out. I tried a few places in Taos, and it was difficult to reach anyone for take-out. GrubHub does not have any restaurants in Taos so that was out. Bella's didn't seem to normally do take out, but they were very friendly and helpful. And best of all, the food is fantastic. More...

Tasty food, large portions, but only okay service. We were just about the only people in the entire restaurant, but our waiters kept forgetting to bring utensils and menus. Food-wise, the tableside guacamole was incredible, as were the steak fajitas. The red sangria was also very good. The rest was good but nothing stood out apart from the coconut flan- very unique and delicious. More...

Great food, good service, good menu. It was a cold and wet day but the was a fire in a kiva fireplace near our table that chased any chill away. Shrimp fajitas provided a meal without lactose concerns that was excellent. Crab instead of shrimp made for truly fine enchiladas. More...

The waiter for our lunch was very engaged and obviously proud of the menu old Taos family traditional restaurant. The fire place was welcome on a freezing afternoon. The food is not only "New Mexican" but also traditional Mexican and not your regular fare of tacos and enchiladas either. Corn and flour tortillas are house made. The coconut flan was perfect to share, very decorative (I wish I had taken a photo). Yucatec pork pibil was lovely with a citrus long cooked tenderness. The shrimp in the blue corn enchiladas de camarone tasted obviously far from the sea shore, but the dish was delicious. Green chile was very good and just spicy enough. I am a New Mexico resident so I was not surprised by the spice. I cant wait to return next time we are in Taos. More...

Had a terrific meal at Bella's after a long day of skiing at Taos. The waiters are friendly and interesting and the ambiance is lovely. Sat by a wood burning fire place and stayed around the table even after the check had been paid. The owner admired my turquoise jewelry and told me all about its origin and authenticity. She even left us with a complimentary soap bomb. Forgot to mention that the food was stellar. Thanks Bella's! More...

Accidentally wandered into this lovely and cozy place. I was instantly comforted by crackling fire and welcomed by the lovely server and host,Joaquin. He explained the food with a passion and enthusiasm that made us want to order every single thing on menu. We restrained ourselves and landed on the guacamole made tableside, the house-made chili salsa, and the Chile En Nogada. Everything blew our minds. The scratch-made tortilla chips were so light and fresh. They were so downright perfect that I wanted to marry them. I thought about spending the night here, so I could try more things when I get hungry again. But alas, we're just going to have to travel back to this magical spot in Taos, New Mexico as soon as possible. More...

Great place for vegetarians. We arrived with a large wedding party (25+) going on. Everyone that works there made us aware of the situation and we received excellent service, and the owner suggested perfect food and assured us our food would get proper attention in the kitchen.

The perfect final dinner for our visit to Taos. I had chicken enchiladas in blue corn tortillas with red sauce. Delicious! !  Fresh table-side guacamole with homemade chips amazing. Elote was our first experience and now I must find a recipe for at home. I might have had two...okay three house margaritas. They even said they would make my fave dessert...sopapillas w/honey...for dessert. The best meal in Taos by far. Not to forget the charming ambience and excellent service.

This was one of the few establishments we visited in Taos that had A/C.  The weather was very hot during the week we were there and coming from Texas where we are spoiled by air conditioning and ready for some cool air on our fifth day in the heat.  We weren't expecting it to have A/C when we walked in.  It's about one block from the Plaza.  We found the service to be excellent and the food well above average.  Perhaps it was the A/C but I don't think so.  That was simply a bonus.  We were very pleased with our experience at this restaurant.

Chile relleno was good, totally cheesy :) and the enchiladas were very good too!! They stayed open late for our group of 12, very grateful as we were visiting and celebrating a birthday! Everything closes early in Taos. We got a pitcher of margarita and it wasn't strong at all.
