Taos

Taos is a prominent town of 6,000 people (2018) in North Central New Mexico. While much more laid-back than Santa Fe, Taos has become a popular travel destination in its own right, noted for its art colony, its New Age community, excellent skiing, and Taos Pueblo, a photogenic American Indian community that is open to visitors under controlled conditions.

  1. Eat

    Alley Cantina

    Near the plaza, as much bar as restaurant. "Delicious fish and chips, margaritas" according to some reviewers; barely edible tourist fare, according to others.

    Daily 11:30AM-11PM; drinks until 1AM (midnight Sundays)

  2. Eat

    Bent St. Cafe & Deli

    "European-style," beautiful patio dining and yes, it rocks. Excellent menu selections, wonderful sandwiches, accommodating and gracious waitstaff. Licensed, with a good selection of beers. A local favorite, popular with visitors and regulars alike. Great for people-watching. On the pricey side of "budget".

  3. Eat

    Doc Martin's

    Exclusive Chef Zippy White, selections from the spectacular wine list of 400. Excellent seasonal menu additions and desserts. American cuisine with a Southwest twist; breakfasts are also creative. Renowned for the chile rellenos appetizer. The inn has a garden for fresh and organic ingredients. Live music in the adjacent Adobe Bar nightly.

    Breakfast 7:30-11AM, lunch 11:30AM-2:30PM, dinner 5:30PM-closing. Weekend brunch 7:30AM-2:30PMMost dinner entrees range in price from about $20, lunch $10-15

  4. Eat

    El Taoseño Cafe and Lounge

    More of a local hangout than a tourist place, being well south of the center of town. Acceptable New Mexican fare, with some "American" items.

    Mon-Thu 6:30AM-9PM; Fri Sat 6:30AM-10PM; Sun 6:30AM-2PM

  5. Eat

    Five Star Burgers

    Grilled sandwiches and panninis, fresh salads, sides, desserts, beer & wine.

  6. Eat

    Michael's Kitchen

    A long-time local favorite, casual and busy. Great for breakfast, which is served all day. The New Mexican lunches are variable. Also has a nice bakery.

    Daily 7AM-2:30PM, but hours seem to vary; closed on major holidays

  7. Eat

    Orlando's New Mexican Cafe

    Locals disagree on where in town you can get the best standard New Mexican cuisine, but this one is always in the discussion. North of the center of town, and not a convenient walk from the Plaza.

    Daily; lunch 10:30AM-3PM, dinner 5PM-9PM

  8. Eat

    Pizanos

    Serves New York style pizza, pasta, sandwiches, appetizers, such as blue corn calamari and fish & chips, and delicious salads. Beautiful views from the patio.

    Daily lunch and dinner

  9. Eat

    Taos Pizza Outback

    Locals are divided about this pizzeria, some proclaiming it the best pizza in town, others sniffing that it doesn't serve "New York style" pizzas. Each to their own taste.

    Mon-Fri 11AM-9PM, Sat-Sun 11AM-10PM

  10. Eat

    The Gorge

    Overlooking the Plaza. A large dining room, a large patio with intense late afternoon sun and prime sunset dining. A moderately priced menu with quality preparation. A large bar with a good selection of wine, draft and bottled beer.

  11. Eat Not mapped

    Guadalajara Grill

    Order at the counter, which will give you an uncomfortable feeling that you're about to consume fast food, but the meal brought to your table will dispel any such concerns. Mexican/New Mexican, with some excellent seafood dishes; the Camaron a la Diabla (shrimp in a very spicy red sauce) is recommended.

    Lunch and dinner daily$7-20 for dinner

  12. Eat

    Aji Restaurant

    Nice Peruvian selections like ceviche and paella here.

  13. Eat Not mapped

    Antonio's
