McDonald’s

Students beware, this ones a doozy.
I have a soft spot for mcdonalds. Many people really enjoy those nuggets. So much so that me and many other customers are willing to suffer the indignity of facing this joints management. Now sweating over a mcdonalds seems a’little odd, but after my most recent quarter pounder and cheese, OY-​VEY!
For about a good three years I have come to this place too feed my need for the nuggets. But alas it comes at the cost at being talked down to like a five year old. Being told to leave after I get my meal, or eat outside like a dog. For everything from wearing a winter coat in January, to wearing a laptop bag. I took all this with a grain of salt, and humor them. Working in the service industry myself, I understand i shouldn’t be too annoying. But over the years I have understood my experience with taos mcdonalds staff was not insuler. That its this stores practice to act terribly to its customers. Every polite person I have had serve me is soon gone. only to be replaced in the hiatus by the same shrude people. hiding ketchup and soda behind soviet style lines and a counter. Getting orders wrong, throwing food in boxes, fries with no salt. For any who think mcdonalds fries could use less salt, there is a’limit. By the way, the salt is a behind the counter too, ask for it along with your second soda refill. That’ll be a five minute wait.
They seem to hate people under the age of thirty. If your out of high school, or are a college student getting a hot meal after exams. They don’t care how quiet you are. or how many times you say thank you. They don’t want people with laptop bags or backpacks as I said earlier. And now bicycles as well, so if your into that, forget it. Not allowed here. But i found out about the silly rule when I first walked in. I was simply eating, and a women claiming to be the assistant manager walked up to me right after serving me my food and I was seated. telling me too eat outside in the fourty degree weather. I thought it was a joke, and then I found she was serious. I said no politely, and she said if I did not leave the property immediately, she would call the police. I asked why, she said because of my «rucksack». A targus laptop bag with a laptop in it. I said «do you do this to all the students who come in here after school?».“Every one with a bag”.Fast forward two years to yesterday, and the same thing happens to me and my brother because of his bike. They decided to throw out their bike railings in a remodel, oops. So my brother put his bike on a very untrafficked part of the store outside. Not good enough. We left, not our store, no biggy. But they do that to almost everyone I know my age or under at one point. anyone older they are just rude too. Any excuse, its happened to me a few times, yet they are still happy to take my money. It seems to always be a couple particular people over the past couple years. Every time with a sense of smug satisfaction on their face. You’ll no who they are for the fact they do not wear name tags, unlike everyone else who works there. If you go there on a weekend, The crew is running the show, and are so polite. Thats the best time to go.
Eating at a mcdonalds should’t be very complicated. But me, my family, and community would like to be better served. If you (taos, mcdonalds) don’t want people to bring their laptops to your establishment, don’t provide free wifi. If you do not want to serve in-​store customers, build a burger stand on the highway.

No matter where your from I guarantee the service is better than this joint. Absolutely worst service on the planet. RUN from this place. Even the employees don’t give a shit!

Came in here for breakfast right at 6am and the service at the drive through was fairly quick. However, when you ordered a English Muffin with jelly and they send a plain muffin without jelly it’s fail. Other than that it’s your typical Mc’ds, which I normally refuse to eat at, but nothing else was open in town and we needed to grab a bite before fishing.

I would have given this business zero stars, but that was not an option.
I have never in my life been so horribly treated by the owner of an establishment! He screamed and screamed. My blood pressure went through the roof and my fries went cold. After his tirade, I had to go inside find him and tell him that I would NEVER be back!
All because I had my certified hearing dog, sitting OUTSIDE with me.
There are signs posted all over– a no smoking sign over an outdoor ashtray, a no bags or boxes sign. Have heard stories of him being an overbearing bully to others.
Best to stay away!

This is the worst Mcdonald’s you can ever visit! The owner and the workers are so very rude. They are very rude and univiting I will never visit this place when I visit Taos again.

I usually don’t write about McDonalds (for good reason.)
And I’ve only ever eaten one thing at this McDonalds in Taos — and it gets 5 stars just because it is so far and away THE BEST CHOCOLATE DIPPED SOFT SERVE ICE CREAM CONE I have ever had.
They were selling chocolate dip cones at this McDonalds before anywhere else — and they started right and kept doing it right. (keep your fingers crossed…) It’s almost worth the trip to Taos just for the cone. Okay — maybe not — but well worth the special trip while you’re there.
We only visit Taos in the summer — and we’ve been doing it for years — these dipped-​cones are just almost too good to believe. It’s like rich Dove-​bar chocolate — it’s just that good. The chocolate is so thick and so really real-​chocolate (as opposed to that wax chocolate-​flavored stuff most places use that runs off like water before it solidifies so that there’s barely a millimeter of crispy plastic chocolate there…)
Well — trust me. Unless they’ve taken the cheaper route and changed their dip — this is the best part of the summer heat in Taos.

Good, reliable fast-​food in the heart of Taos NM.
You will like it.
Service was fast, everyone seemed to know Spanish better than English.
Clean, new, does the job. Then on to the next art gallery or little shop.
