Hostess was so friendly & helpful, she smiled each time she passed us. Stand out was the carrot cake, I Live dessert. My ruby trout dish was delish but a bit spicy for me. The steak fajites was very good and hub wolfed it down. Music in the lobby was lively at the Taos Inn. read more

Made reservations for 6:15 and were seated right away when we arrived, which was a great start to the evening. Our server, Holly, was super friendly and personable. She even gave us a heads up that she was also handling a 7-top table and made sure we could get our order in before theirs since it was just the two of us. Thought that was really thoughtful and great service. We started with the salsa, queso, guacamole, and a Caesar salad for appetizers and everything was delicious. A great way to kick off the meal. For the main course we both went with the steak fajitas. The steak was a little on the tough side, but overall still really good and heavily seasoned. The portion is generous too. One order could easily be split between two people. It comes with rice, beans, cheese, pico, and three tortillas. The restaurant itself is super charming. It's inside the historic Taos Inn and you can really feel the history in the space. The atmosphere alone makes the experience memorable. Would highly recommend checking out Doc Martin's if you're visiting Taos. Great service, great atmosphere, and a solid meal. read more

Excellent service, very good blue corn enchiladas! Smashburger & sweet potato fries was perfect.

Doc Martin's, at the Taos Inn, is just as quirky as Taos itself. The interior is not quite as upscale as a few other eateries in the area, but it's set within the original adobe house and celebrates local flavors beyond traditional chile, including choke cherry and fresh trout. Service is good, and the food is fresh and tasty, albeit a bit overpriced. read more

I wasn't sure if I should review under the Historic Taos Inn or Doc Martin's. The seating is split with the restaurant being off on one side and then open seating for just more casual drinks and dining in the Taos Inn main lounge area which was where we sat. The architecture of this place is truly majestic. I think this place has been around for well over a hundred years. I had peaked inside about two years ago but they were sadly closed for drinks and food at the time. Came back on my birthday on a Friday night. Initially, we were going to get dinner across the street but there was a 45 minute wait. Then it started pouring after we settled down to drinks so it was decided we were staying there. Which I didn't mind. It has a quaint rustic atmosphere and there was live music playing. For drinks I ended up ordering the Santa Fe nut brown ale (which I've had before and it's become my go to beer in New Mexico) and later a Teller Green chile martini. The martini was spicy to the right level and very smooth. For food I went with the smothered burrito platter with brisket meat that comes with a side of rice and beans. Boy oh boy was it smothered! Half with the red and half with the green. Because ya gotta try em both, amiright? The brisket was very tender and the sauces were exceptionally delicious. My boyfriend had some kind of southwest chicken torta sandwich and his mom had a burger. All in all, It was decent food and probably way more affordable than the other place. Would definitely come back again next time I'm visiting! read more

I arrive well after the last seating but was still served and was not rushed the food was very good I'd steak an old-fashioned and a rice pudding. All top-notch rice pudding had large pieces of brittle on top. It was not too sweet. The steak was cooked properly and the drink was needed after a long hand on the road read more

Motor lodge restaurants can be all over the place, with such large variations in clientele, timetables (those who are always in a hurry), and expectations. Our visit on a busy Sunday holiday weekend was better than we expected, in service, atmosphere and food quality. It is part of a National Register building and has the southwestern Rustic them down. Service was really solid, especially since they probably had more tables to serve than normal. Show some patience and kindness to your servers. The cocktails were solid--no doubt why the bar is popular. Highly recommend the elote dip--a very tasty appetizer! The New York strip plate was a lot of good food--with a perfectly grilled medium rare steak along with a cheese enchilada and pinto beans. I knock them down a bit just because the plate was to be covered with red chile, and that was MIA. The brisket didn't have any issues--tender and well prepared. read more

Went to dinner with family here for the first time. Was not impressed with the service our server never came by the table till she brought our check. The food was okay however the price and portion size didn't match. The food was not flavorful and the beans on my plate were very under cooked that they were crunchy. Overall the food was not impressive. There are other places to eat in the area would suggest checking them out. read more

I had a reservation but all of the tables were full so I sat at the bar. Since I was by myself, it was fine. The bartender Michael took good care of me. I had a nice conversation with him and a local sitting at the bar. I had the tacos platter. It came with 3 tacos and I did one ground beef, one chicken and one mushroom. All were really tasty. The salsa was a bit spicy but not too bad. Good rice and beans. Not too heavy. Overall a nice taco platter. For dessert, I had the chocolate lava cake. This had a good lava center. It was not too heavy or rich. Nice whipped cream on the side. A nice meal to finish out my trip in Taos. read more

Quirky place with a historic vibe and cool neon sign. Four of us passing through Taos stopped for dinner. The Bison Ribs were fabulous.

Was in Taos for 1 night and stumbled upon this gem. The service was friendly and prompt and the food was a perfect Southwestern treat.

So so good. Stopped in with a friend while visiting Taos and was pleased with the adorable vibe, affordable + delish food (less than $25 entrees is almost unheard of nowadays!), and good service. We ordered the taco plate (give the mushroom tacos a shot, worth it!) and the green chile cheeseburger. Would get both dishes again. read more

Doc Martin's and the Adobe Bar are the place in Taos for live music and drinks. Generally a must and certainly if not much else is going on. Service is fine and they some times get quite busy. Either way, if you visit Taos and miss Doc Martin's you haven't been to Taos. read more

Great food with a New Mexico vibe. Very unique taste and flare. The dining room is comfortable and balances sound so conversation is easy without being hard on your chill vibe! The staff are so attentive and friendly. read more

Booked a reservation here for NYE over 2 months ago over the phone. No mention of a prefix menu or min of $90 per person menu. Who wants duck, snapper or eggplant parm for $90 anyway. They sprung this requirement on us when we arrived. We left to drive 50 minutes back to Red River and they ruined our NYE special dinner. Even the hostess said she knew nothing about a special menu until that day. I am sure we were not the only ones that decided not to go there tonight and we will not be back. read more

The beet salad is outstanding. The music is wonderful. The service is great. I cannot vouch for the rest of the menu however, I do know they make some of the best margaritas in town. read more

The food was just OK. We ordered the chile relleno appetizer, elote corn dip appetizer, a smothered burrito, and a margarita. The margarita was good and burrito was OK but we were annoyed to find out that the chopped green chiles that were offered to us (because they were out of green sauce) were just chopped and softened bell peppers. Additionally the elote corn dip was watery and more like a soup than a dip. The chile relleno was pretty good- it was pretty much the saving grace of the dinner. The server was polite and attentive, and the atmosphere was nice. They had live music starting at 6pm. Not sure that we would go back for a full dinner, but maybe drinks and music. All in all, worth checking out but maybe plan to eat elsewhere (especially since that meal came out to around $70). read more

I asked the locals about a good place to eat that was walking distance and this place wasn't mentioned. I wanted good New Mexican food that had a decent margarita....easy task right? Reviews on this restaurant are mixed so I went with an open mind. Overall, we had a great experience. Very busy location but we went early enough we could have eaten inside or out. Luckily, I asked the host if they were going to eat at the restaurant, where would they sit. She pointed us to the corner of the restaurant that had a couple steps down and seems out of the way of everyone but close enough to hear the music and feel apart of the vibe. If this small space is open...TAKE IT. Drinks - Awesome! If you're on the Margarita Trail, we had the Hot Mama and I Need a Miracle. The hot mama had a kick but not too spicy to enjoy. The "I need a Miracle" was very good and uses a house made lime juice mixed with pomegranate liqueur. Probably best margs we had all weekend. Ambiance - Busy but was still able to hear live music. Staff is very busy but we got a lot of attention. Food - Pretty good authentic New Mexican food. We had the Sweet Potato with Mole Tamale for an appetizer..amazing. Easily shared with 2 people. We also ordered the Carne Asada and Ribeye Fajitas. Both meals were cooked as directed (Medium) and I wouldn't cook any less or more. I normally don't eat the side beans but Doc Martin's pinto beans are worth trying. If you're visiting Taos, this is a must. There were ton of tourists there on the way to an event or next destination but there enough locals enjoying music and dealing with the crowds to know this is a good spot to eat. read more

I had high hopes from this restaurant after reading the reviews, and the ambiance and service were fine but was disappointed by the food. The chupacabra margarita promised peppers but wasn't at all spicy. The green chile cheese curds were very bland. The nachos were also extremely bland- they needed some hot salsa or pico de gallo on top, and had only a teaspoon of guacamole. Pathetic. Then the mushroom and carmelized onion quesadilla was ok but needed some sauce. It was supposed to come with some crema but they barely drizzled a few drops on top. This was very average food, nothing special. I would not return there. read more

Service is mid..almost aggravating ...waiters could be a lot more professional while on the Dining room floor. (Cussing quietly about us but loud enough for my son to hear it ) read more

Very poor service. Began with a wobbly table. Really? You cannot keep your tables on the floor? Next was the service by Trish R. She was rude and inattentive. She actually acted passive-aggressively when my partner asked for the kitchen to correct something. The dish was returned 'corrected' with grease. Then, she cleared the table but left my partner's dish there for everyone to contemplate. What a loser. This establishment must have a hard time keeping staff, since Trish R should have been let go already. Employing difficult staff can be a challenge, but this place needs to be avoided until Trish R is gone! read more

We had a very strange dinning experience. We were a group of 7 people, everyone placed their entrees with a few having soup as a starter. After a while of having a drink and chatting, food came for 3 people with their soups as well. The soup should have arrived before and then their meal, weird but not a big deal. Then waiter comes back to say 2 people that ordered shrimp, they no longer have shrimp. So we had to ask for the menu so they can find something else to eat. Was strange they wouldn't come prepared the menus after giving the news but okay. The 3 people are eating their meal. Few minutes later waiter comes out again to say they are out of trout, so I had ordered the trout, now I have to decide what new thing to eat. At this point the three have finished their meal and the other 4 are waiting for their food. You would think they would let people know in advanced that they are out of something, what kind of restaurant prepares the food for a few people and say "tell the rest we don't have what they wanted". Worse part was another person serving the plates was in a terrible mood, he would come in hot "WHO ORDERED THE CHICKEN?" And then place the plate down really hard and we saw him leave and walk into the kitchen door slamming the door really upset about something. My meal was the last to arrive and the person serving says "we were building up your appetite haha" instead of apologizing for how long it took or saying hopefully this is a good alternative from your original order or something! A bummer that we had such a bad experience on my birthday. read more

The food was good, and the chile relleno was exceptional. The service was good, and the atmosphere was nice. However, the menu felt very overpriced. We spent over $98 on a very small salad with chicken, the chile relleno, one margarita and chips and salsa. The salad with chicken was $24.00 and the chile relleno was over $30.00, which was surprising. Again, good food, nice place and people, just a bit too expensive in my opinion. read more

We showed up 30 minutes early and were told to get a drink at the bar in the lobby. The bar was overwhelmed and we got seated before the drinks came out, so my girlfriend was in the restaurant and I was waiting for a bill and the drink in the hotel lobby. And we didn't get seated early btw My girlfriend is vegetarian and they were out of all the vegetarian options except a trumpet mushroom dish. It was really bland I got the rib eye fajitas and they were TERRIBLE. Like the texture felt like it was boiled meat. It was a terrible texture, over cooked and chewy. Our waitress was nice and the salsa is great read more

Service was good the dinners are missing something for the price. We had the rellanos which were ok but for $32. The beef tacos were greasy from the frying pan with unflavored ground beef and cheese I wouldn't serve at home to my 12 year olds make friends, really bad. The price would tell you that something special is coming but no. We went there for breakfast and had iced pancakes and Benedict with a great bartender and waitress. Go to breakfast and avoid the overpriced dinner. read more

We kind of stumbled into Doc Martin's near closing time with our kids when we were staying at the hotel. After a little mix up with the servers due to our late arrival, the service was friendly and attentive.

Our kids liked it so much, they had us go back the next night too. read more

First meal in Taos: will likely be as disappointing as every other meal we have had here so far. We came here with a friend on Thursday evening, and the place is really cute with that New Mexican flair ambience that we are complete suckers for (despite the chairs being bizarrely low slung). The "perfect margarita" was anything but--essentially pure tequila with a splash of the other stuff. We need to ask for several limes to make it drinkable. The green chile margarita was super spicy and unpleasant. Food was mediocre. The beet salad was ho-hum and the green chile pork stew was tepid at best temperature-wise (flavor was fine). On the chili relleno dinner, the crispy rellenos were wonderful, but the butter knife on the table did not do a good enough job of being able to cut them (side of beans were undercooked and even the rice tasted off). Our daughter's chicken nuggets were standard airport fare. Dessert was pretty good, however. We enjoyed the lemon cake and tres leches. Bottom line: could and should have been better. All the ingredients were there for a cozy and delicious experience, but they kept missing the mark again and again. Would not recommend and wish that they tried a little bit harder. read more

I have to update our other review. We had a completely different experience this time. I realize that it's important to try places at least three times. Then, if it's not a good experience, three strikes, I'm out and probably not coming back. We went back on a Friday at 5:00. We scored a table in the music hall area, where the historic fountain used to be. We ordered Prickly Pear Margaritas and they were outstanding, our server was so attentive and it was BUSY! Then we had the Rellenos, and the Queso Fondito, WOW, minds blown. Thank you for a fantastic dining, drinking and music experience. I was thrilled to have a completely different dining experience this time around. We will be back! read more

Well at least I enjoyed my Prickly Pear Margarita...The rest of the experience was so-so. I ended up having to send back my Carne Asada, it was undercooked and incredibly bland. I do really try not to send back food however with the price point being where it was and the food almost being an edible I had to do so. I ordered a tamale but even that was mainly just a blob of veggie. I was recommended this location and I can see why the interiors incredibly cute, and the staff was accommodating when I needed to return my first meal... but maybe I'd suggest to go for a cocktail until they maybe work out some restaurant kinks. read more
