Okay, how to write a blog on where to eat in Taos ... everyone likes different foods, everyone always has a different option (I come from a big family) and everyone is always in the mood for something else. So here goes nothing! I will try and explain these restaurants the best I can so YOU can make the best decision!
I will say one thing. I have not eaten everywhere in town. These are just places I have been and can have an opinion on. If you have somewhere to put on this list, let me know in the comments below!
Common Fire
Just ate here last time we were in town and LOVE it! Especially after a big day of skiing! An Italian restaurant with both food and views that ARE INSANE!
The "vibe" is amazing. And their menu is just as amazing. I was starving when we arrived so we ordered two types of bread to start. Followed by a delicious brick oven pizza. Which reminds me, I think ALL their food is cooked only in the brick oven. Which is part of the restuarant. Talk about transparency!
You may just have to go there ... take my word for it. You will not regret it!
Plus the owner is GREAT!
The Burger Stand
You're hungry. You want something easy. With a BIG OLE BEER on the side. This is your place. The atmosphere is great. You can grab a seat at the bar if you're on your own. Or grab a big table with your crew to chow down after a day in the big outdoors.
We always bring people to this spot when we have a bigger group, because who doesn't love a good burger.
Speaking of burger ... let's talk about chicken. Their Barnyard Bash fried chicken sandwich is probably the best thing on the menu - plus the duck fat fries dipped in a parmesan aioli.
The Blonde Bear Tavern
We went here one day while staying late up at Taos Ski Valley and had the BEST country beef over noodles. So good after a day on the mountain!
The atmosphere was so cozy and everything ski-lodgie you could want on the mountain. Just make sure to grab a seat by the fire so you can get the full effect!
For Breakfast: The Taos Cow
Know ahead of time, IT TAKES A MINUTE. But they have great breakfast bagels. Perfect for getting you up and at em' for the day! Not much to say here because the sandwiches are simple ad to the point ... eggs, cheese, bacon, etc. You get it, so go get it!
On the go: Pizanos
Eat here or grab this to go. It's GREAT pizza! And right up the road from the house!
Eat At Home: Cid's Grocery
Our personal favorite. Grabb a quick dinner at the closest (and nicest) grocery store and make a delicious dinner at the Modern Taos House! Don't forget to stop by the (really pretty) wine/beer shop next door so you can have a sip under the stars!
Anyway, I know this not THE list but hopefully this can get you started on some great places to eat in our favorite place!
