The Guadalajara Grill was recommended to me ever since I arrived here in northern New Mexico. My friend and I finally went there to see what all the talk was about (at the GG location on the south side of Taos). First of all, we got there really early (around 4:30), so the place was … More Guadalajara Grill
Lambert’s has a very nice atmosphere and a great selection on its menu. I opted for the Vegetarian Red Coconut Curry, while my friend got ‘the catch of the day’ (salmon), and his dad ordered the lamb shank. We all split a bottle of Malbec. I was very happy with my choice. My friend thought … More Lambert’s of Taos
While my friend was in town, we decided to go check out the Adobe Bar at the historic Taos Inn. We made it in time for happy hour — and $4 margaritas — my favorite! YUM! We sat in a cozy spot next to the kiva fireplace, listening to the live music while we drank. … More The Adobe Bar at Taos Inn
My daughter took me here for my birthday dinner and we were not disappointed — probably one of the best places I’ve eaten in the area. In addition to an amazing margarita, I didn’t see any of the usual New Mexican fare! Woo hoo! I got the salmon special and really enjoyed it. We didn’t … More Martyrs Steakhouse
I was actually at the Gorge Bridge for the first time on December 30, 2014. I can tell you, it was definitely a more pleasant experience in October — without freezing temperatures, cutting winds, and ice all over the walkways making you fear that you just might slip into the gorge! This tourist destination is … More Rio Grande Gorge Bridge
My daughter and I went to Taos Pueblo for the first time together while she was here visiting from Pennsylvania. Her pick, and it was my birthday! 🙂 I was totally expecting some ancient deserted pueblo similar to what I had seen at other locations I visited already, even though the website says it is … More Taos Pueblo
The Taos Plaza is at the center of the Taos Historic District. It’s a little bit smaller than the plazas in ABQ and Santa Fe, making it more manageable to explore. There’s a free parking lot right nearby on Cam De La Placita. The Taos Plaza also offers free live concerts May through October. There … More Taos Plaza
I visited the Harwood Museum of Art, located in Taos, on a cold day in early January. I wanted to check out the exhibit, “Lowbrow Insurgence: The Rise of Post-Pop Art“. Pop Art is one of my favorite genres and I’ve been known to travel hours to go check out a show. This was a … More Harwood Museum of Art
I am not a skier (that I know of based on previous attempts), but I wanted to go check out the Taos Ski Valley because I had heard about it from some of my friends in PA and I figured it might be cool to watch some people skiing down the slopes. It was pretty … More Taos Ski Valley
The Earthship Biotecture Community interested me because earthships are touted as “the most versatile and economical sustainable green building design in the world”. I didn’t realize how futuristic they would be until I pulled into the parking lot of the visitor’s center. They were almost like alien structures and some of the concepts behind these … More Earthship Biotecture Community
