I’ve always believed that food tastes better when it’s tied to a place—and in Taos, that connection is everywhere. Whether you’re wandering through adobe-lined streets or soaking up mountain views, you’ll find restaurants here that feel just as soulful as the town itself. I’ve had everything from green chile-smothered comfort food to beautifully plated fine dining, and I think you’ll be surprised by how creative and satisfying the food scene really is. If you’re like me and love a mix of local flavor, cozy spaces, and a hint of artistic flair, you’re going to enjoy eating your way through Taos.
