Arroyo Seco Mercantile is a melting pot of Northern New Mexico flavor. First stablished to serve the needs of the village of Arroyo Seco, a small Hispanic village on Highway 150, it now draws people from all over.
Dating from 1804, the Hacienda is one of the last remaining Spanish Colonial “Great Houses” surviving. It was both a family home and a trading center for the early Taos community. Severino Martinez also served in the local government as the Alcalde (or mayor).
