    Rio Lucero Farms

    Restaurant

    This place is amazing. Farm to table breakfast/brunch, fresh pastries and baked goods, fresh produce, fresh eggs, shall I say more? Flavortown USA right here…and the cutest farmhouse meets adobe desugn. If you’re in Taos, this is the one spot you just try.

  • The Alley Cantina

    Bar And Grill Restaurant

    First food stop when we got to Taos and it did NOT disappoint! 400 year old building, been a restaurant since early 1900's. The home made chips and salsa are a must, queso was fire!! Broad range of food, but the Mexican offerings won't leave you wanting more.

    Such a fun spot,...at the Taos ski resort. Fun chill vibe. Great drinks and bar food, and will not dissapoint. They also have an outdoor patio that sits directly above the freshwater mountain stream. A little slice of heaven from an experiential point of view!

    Ok, if you’re in Taos, you’ve got to stop by Six Hand Hat Co and meet Kristina and Mikel Robinson. They are the kindest most engaging people! Further, Mikel’s hat designs are out of this world! We will be coming back to get custom hats.

    The Bavarian is truly “Bavarian”!! From the beer to the schnitzel, to the dark wood timber lodge. Great spot at the base of #4 lift.
