After our overnight stay at Mission Wolf, we left there at 10:00AM and headed South -
crossing the border - figuring that Taos, New Mexico would be a good place to
stop for lunch. However, the town was packed with people for the
Solar Music Festival and
lines were very long. We just needed something quick, so while filling up
for gas, my wife asked some biker dudes where was a cheap, easy, and
kid-friendly Mexican place to eat. They said try Rita's which is on
the South end of town on the West side of the road.
Remember that food is always problematic for us (my kids have Celiac Disease) but this was perfect for us ... and as can
be seen below, we even got some SouthWest cultural exposure in Taos, New Mexico.
Next stop was Bandelier National Monument.
While Rita's is set back slightly from the road, the sign isn't hard to see
Major bonus was we even got some live music with our food!
These guys hammed it up for the kids and provided some nice background music

Rita's is pretty informal, but was just what we needed for a quick food stop
