Top 9 Bar food in Taos, New Mexico, United States
Reviews on Bar food in Taos, New Mexico, United States. A rolling mesa at the base of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, Taos has a magical quality. Its rugged beauty, majestic mountains, wild Rio Grande river and unique blend of cultures - Spanish, Native American and Anglo - have historically drawn artists and photographers, evidenced by the plentiful galleries, museums and festivals. To experience the Native American culture here, explore Taos Pueblo, where the Tiwa Native Americans have practiced their traditions for centuries. Finally, the Anglo influence is prevalent in the business district, with its shops, art galleries and some of the finest restaurants in New Mexico. Skiing is also a major draw, but the challenging slopes are geared to the more advanced crowd. There's no rat race here; a fair share of non-mainstreamers have made this laid-back, low-key mecca their home. You, too, may not want to leave its tranquility and natural beauty.

Fun idea -- a restaurant set between two working radio stations. But the views of the mountains gave this casual, locals place a real boost for our enjoyment. In summer the deck would be amazing. We were there on a night when local legend Jimmy Stadler was performing -- WOW!!! Not only is he incredibly talented, playing multiple instruments well and singing, but he clearly has a passion for teaching music (he talked about his students). He played for 2 hours straight before taking a short break, and when he came back recharged the music got even better. He offered a combination of rock from the 70s, 80s, 90s, plus a little Flamenco. Our group truly enjoyed his show. The food, was tasty -- a menu of fairly typical pub selections with some local twists and more choices than we expected for a venue like this. Our only disappointment was service was really slow, but they were packed when we arrived. It did improve a little as the crowd thinned. We would definitely return next time we're in Taos - and especially if Stadler is playing.

We ate here one night while staying at the Quality Inn a couple of doors down. They serve the usual bar food like chicken wings, sandwiches, etc. They do not sell liquor here, only beer and wine. But the selection was good selection of draft and bottle. It's not a big place and is located in a strip mall. There were only a couple of people at the bar when we walked in so seating was not a problem. Would definitely return if ever in the area again.

We heard about this place from a local business as we were asking for a nice lunch spot. Climb up stairs or take the elevator to roof top seating or eat inside enjoy a spacious room with lots of seating. Room to enjoy and expansive food and drink menu. We were impressed with great food delivered very quickly by staff that cared about your enjoyment. Impressive.Highly recommend.

We enjoyed our dinner at Doc Martin's, especially our excellent server - who also filled us in on the building's history. (It turned out that we were eating in what had been Doc Martin's home.) The menu was extensive, and the food was quite good (although not quite the best that we enjoyed in Taos).Dear 598PhilC,Thank you for dining with us at Doc Martin's. I am happy to read that you enjoyed your dinner and our team shared the history of Doc Martin's. We look forward to you returning and trying some of our other menu items.Sincerely,Joe KendallGeneral ManagerDoc Martin's / Historic Taos Inn

Thirsty. In need of Southwestern refreshment. Looking for a fun place to quench this desire. The Adobe is indeed the buzing place with full tables and live entertainment. That expectation was met. Ordered the recommended Baby Buddha Margarita. Left still a little thirsty for a good Southwestern refreshment. Service was excellent, orders were a bit backed up so waitress comped the chips and salsa.Thank you for sharing your experience. We are pleased to hear you enjoyed our ambiance and lively entertainment. The Adobe Bar serves over 10 varieties of margaritas- our Cowboy Buddha being our most famous. If ever your drink does not meet expectation, we are more than happy to make you something else.

We were staying at Hotel Luna Mystica so figured weâd try TMB for dinner. The menu was limited. And it was only so-so. The roasted beet salad was a whole ton of spinach and previous few beets. The tacos were okay. The calabacitas (sautéed squash) was the menu highlight. We donât drink beer so weâre pleased to see wine and some wine based cocktails available.

The spinach salad was a surprise. Unexpected high quality for a restaurant specializing in hamburgers. My wife and I do not go out for hamburgers very often. We both had excellent hamburgers.Portions are generous.They were busy and service was a bit slow..The Chocolate Milkshake was served properly with the metal mixing container brought to the table for a refill. The milkshake had an odd flavor. I think this must be due to the brand of ice cream uses.We're glad you enjoyed the spinach salad and burgers. Thanks for letting us know!

We were lucky to find something decent open upon our late arrival to Taos, NM in August. Most places are fast food options. Taos Mesa Brewing has incredible pizza that is fire roasted so the crust is just perfectly thick/thin and slightly crunchy. My favorite style of pizza. The gourmet level options on the pizzas made our whole family very happy. We shared some grilled peppers for an appetizer and had some local brewed beer. The pizza is a bit costly but completely worth it. AND, we really appreciate them being open later than most Taos restaurants.
