For a tiny town tucked in the mountains, Taos has an outsized—and well-deserved—reputation for being a food and drink enthusiast’s dream come true. From downtown food trucks to alpine fine dining, from mouthwatering chile to wood-fired pizza, Taos serves up deliciousness every day of the year.
In spring, delight in fresh greens from a local organic farm on your table. When late summer rolls around, the scent of roasting green chile pervades the town, begging to top your cheeseburger or burrito. Fall brings cascades of squash and leisurely meals by a toasty fire. And in winter, old-world culinary delights await once you’ve earned an appetite on the slopes.
If you leave Taos hungry, you’re doing it wrong.
And don’t forget the drinks! Coffee shops abound, many of which roast their own beans on site. Local wineries, breweries, and distilleries lovingly craft intoxicating brews and serve them up in beautiful and hip tasting rooms and restaurants. Take your pick; when it comes to food and drink in Taos, you won’t be disappointed.
