    Your food is great - loved the bacon wrapped dates - what a treat! We also had the brussels sprouts and the breaded artichoke hearts - they were great. We all had a drink. I had a Manhattan but I would have preferred a mixed drink, like an appletinnie. I also have the fillet Mignon which was really good. There were four ladies so I don't remember what they had, but I know they were happy. Your desserts were wonderful. Marla makes some great desserts. We had the butter pound cake and they berry cheesecake. Really good! Our server, Marilyn was a pleasure. Overall a good experience. Thank you!

    Food was ok- steak was better of the two entrees. Vegetarian options were limited and the polenta was mediocre at best. Disappointed in the service- for the price you’d expect to have good service and ours was bad. Will not go back.

    I brought friends to eat here and expected a similar experience to the first time I came. The service was okay but in general I got a sense that since we weren't there to buy the most expensive menu items they don't give a care about our table. My friends split a 26$ pasta dish we had ordered before and the serving size was so weak (full/generous serving the first time we came wouldve been cheap and easy to just add more pasta to the dish) just seems like a cool/rich kids club. It's a shame cuz the food really is great but the atmosphere was absolutely heinous and the "vibes" you pay for are bad ones.

    Fantastic night at Aceq! Food was extraordinary and service exceptional! Really fun vibe with good music and a gong to send special thanks to kitchen staff (which they definitely deserved). Don’t miss if you are in Taos.

    Everything was fantastic. We loved the cocktails and wine. Please ask for prices on the specials. We were not expecting a $75 steak. Pricey but flavorful. We would definitely recommend Aceq to friends.

    I believe I had too high of expectations for Aceq. It was a good experience but not a great experience. Our reservations were for 6pm on a Friday night and they were completely out of all Beef as well as the pasta dish. We also asked for an espresso martini which was denied as well. We ended up getting a few starters and a bottle of wine which were all good but again, not great.

    Good burgers & salad. The Bison stew was disappointing, only 3 pieces of bison in it & roasted vegetables turned out to be largely potatoes. Good service & atmosphere 👍
