Taos Restaurants

When our guests go out to eat we always ask them for an honest critique of their meal. This is a small but vetted list of eateries.

The Love Apple

One of their favorite Taos Restaurants is the Love Apple which is within walking distance of Touchstone, as in we share a fence and our parking lots touch walking distance. Cary and Amanda absolutely loved the quality and freshness of their meal and the wine list. In fact, all of our guests have enjoyed this place. The Love Apple requires reservations, is only open for dinner, is closed on Monday, and only takes cash or check (out of state is OK).

Lambert’s

Lambert”s is a Taos restaurant that offers a quality dining experience — our guests have been happy with both meat and fish entrees. The price is on the high end but worth it. Seriously!

The Outback

My absolute all time favorite pizza place is The Outback. Get the Sandy’s and a dinner salad or something even more outrageous, This is not traditional commercialized pizza — this is pie! Gluten Free and vegetarian pizza is available at this Taos restaurant.  Oh, and the Carrot Cake is swell too. The Outback is located within walking distance from Touchstone.

Byzantium

If you want a quiet romantic dinner with wonderful food and special attention then choose Byzantium. Scott, the owner waits the tables and pays attention to every detail – only 7 tables available and reservations a must.

Five Star Burgers

Five Star Burgers is another keeper, according to our guests. I like the burger with green chili. It is open for lunch and dinner.  Gluten free buns available with a variety of fillings at this Taos restaurant as well.

Vivac Winery

We hear that Vivac winery has a solid tasting experience for guests and awesome chocolates.

El Meze

Another favorite from our guests is El Meze. This Taos restaurant has fresh, regionally inspired cuisine from Spain and Northern New Mexico.

Michael’s Kitchen

Where the locals eat! Always crowded, but moves fast; the food is good and reasonably priced – then there is the bakery in the basement! Don’t leave without some luscious baked goods.

Trading Post

Wonderful Northern Italian food at this Taos restaurant!
