Taos, United States
Named one of Esquire's Best New Restaurants in 2023, Corner Office sits above Paseo Del Pueblo Sur with a New American menu that draws on New Mexico's agricultural network as much as its own kitchen instincts. The format is eclectic comfort — the kind of cooking that earns national attention without performing for it.
Taos, United States
Doc Martin's occupies a historic space within the Taos Inn on Paseo Del Pueblo Norte, where New Mexican culinary tradition meets ingredient-conscious cooking in the heart of a working arts town. The room draws both locals and visitors drawn to the high desert character of the place, and the kitchen's sourcing philosophy connects the menu to the regional agricultural identity that makes Taos dining worth paying attention to.
Taos, United States
On Bent Street in Taos's historic core, Lambert's occupies a position that reflects the town's broader dining evolution: a kitchen drawing on the high-desert pantry of northern New Mexico, operating at a register above the casual visitor trade. The address has become a reference point for ingredient-led cooking in a town where the sourcing story is inseparable from the plate.
Taos, United States
Orlando's sits on Don Juan Valdez Lane in Taos, New Mexico, where the cooking draws on the deep agricultural traditions of the Rio Grande corridor. The menu reflects the kind of ingredient-first approach that has defined northern New Mexico's table for generations, connecting local sourcing to a regional cuisine that remains among the more geographically distinct in the American Southwest. For our full editorial context, see our Taos County restaurants guide.
Taos, United States
A Taos fixture on Paseo Del Pueblo Norte, Taos Pizza Out Back has earned a loyal following among locals and visitors for its creative approach to pizza in a town better known for New Mexican red and green chile. The outdoor setting and casual format fit naturally into Taos's unhurried pace, making it a reliable stop when the fine-dining circuit gives way to something more grounded and convivial.

Taos, United States
A Michelin Selected boutique hotel in Taos, Hotel Willa transformed a 1960s motor lodge into a 51-room property rooted in New Mexican design: hand-troweled adobe walls, carved viga beams, and locally woven textiles. An on-site gallery curated by arts nonprofit Paseo Project, a farm-fed restaurant, and a courtyard anchored by a century-old willow tree make it one considered address at the edge of Taos's Downtown Historic District.
Taos, United States
One of the oldest continuously operated mineral springs resorts in North America, Ojo Caliente sits in the high desert of New Mexico's Taos County, where geothermal pools fed by four distinct mineral sources have drawn visitors for centuries. The property occupies a stretch of red-rock terrain that makes it unlike most wellness retreats in the American Southwest, with adobe architecture rooted in the land rather than imposed on it.
Taos, United States
One of Taos's most historically significant lodging addresses, the Historic Taos Inn occupies a cluster of adobe structures on Paseo Del Pueblo Norte that date to the 1800s.
