I had an awful experience here today which was really disappointing because I'd heard great things. I went in today looking for a place to have a beer and a snack. Their front patio was only half full so I thought I'd give it a shot, not knowing that they already had reservations. I waited my turn in line to speak with the hostess who was off seating someone, when an older woman came up, looked at me and decided to ignore me. She proceeded to talk to the men, emphasis on men, behind me instead of addressing me, a young woman. I may look younger than my age of 26, but I still deserve respect. The people behind me deferred to me because they knew I'd been in line, and they had just walked in whereas I'd already been waiting. Which means she had in fact seen me waiting and decided not to talk to me at all! She only got up because a group of middle aged men came in. I tried anyway to ask about a table for a quick drink and snack and she brushed me away and told me rudely that she wouldn't even talk to me because she needed to handle the reservations. I've worked in many restaurants and there is of course a polite way of doing this -- this was not how she acted. She made it clear that I was an inconvenience for her and that I was not someone she valued. I wonder if it would have been different if I looked like the men behind me. I decided not to wait even longer behind additional people to likely be told there was no room for me. I didn't appreciate her overwhelming negative attitude, and the way that she looked at me as if I was a small and irrelevant person. Definitely not good service best practice-- I hope they find people to be in charge of the front of house who don't insult young people just because they can or are stressed about getting reservations seated. I've worked extensively as a host and can say that type of behavior is a definitive way to lose customers, including me! Don't go here if you don't have a reservation, or if you're a young woman. You might be dismissed! Customer is clearly not always right here-- unless you're not a young woman. read more

Spectacular...My first time in Taos, New Mexico included a romantic dinner at Doc Martin's. A wonderful experience because of the lovely ambience in their lovely room, warm and gracious service and delicious food. The server greeted us with kindness and brought professionalism rarely seen and raises the level of the experience. The food was amazing. We shared appetizers and had mains. Each dish was made with care and attention to detail. It's my hope that my life will bring me back to New Mexico and to Taos. And when that happens I look forward to returning to Doc Martin's. read more

Very good New Mexican food. Located in the historic Taos Inn, Doc Martin's is a bit expensive, but very good. My wife and I both had enchiladas. My chicken enchilada in blue corn tortilla was moist and delicious, as were the beans and side salad. Her shrimp enchilada was loaded with shrimp. The waitstaff was excellent. We would eat here again. read more

The new menu is fantastic! We ordered ceviche, carne asada and the king trumpet mushroom and huitlacoche mole (best vegan dish in town). We'd order it all again. It's rare to give an entire meal such high marks, but this meal was executed perfectly. We came with kids: they were given crayons, coloring sheets and the staff made them feel like special guests. To our minds, service is as important as the meal when we dine out. The host, manager and server, (Kelly), were all very accommodating -- and the restaurant was packed! Thanks to everyone at Doc Marten's for a great evening. We'll be back soon! read more

Pretty good for breakfast. They are a little slow in keeping the coffee cup full, but I drink it quickly.

Excellent food, professional wait staff and lovely ambiance combine to deliver a lovely dining experience. The menu is surprisingly sparse, so don't be shocked, but each item is quite yummy so you'll be fine. What must be their signature dish is the crusted chile relleno. It is quite the masterpiece, and taste so good. The highlight is the crunchy exterior which is unexpectedly dark colored yet so satisfyingly crunchy that it makes all other chile relleno seems rather mushy by comparison (because they are). Topped with goat cheese, its texture matches it flavor quite well and is a yummy treat but its over the top expensive, being in the same price class as a filet mignon. The price tag threw me for a lok, I understand that they probably put more work to make this than your everyday chile relleno but I'm not comfortable paying that much for it. The tacos are all excellent, it doesn't matter which one you order. My shock withe the tacos was that the pork belly tacos looked empty when they first arrived. they were flat on the plate with a smear of something that looked like melted cheese and two tiny, short, strips of what looks like overlooked bacon. In fact, that's the whole taco. It's looked weird, plainly empty but the flavor from the pork belly is full and rich, so it almost makes up for the sparseness. I still think the pork belly was overcooked, it was tough and I had to fight with it to tear a piece off and it was a bit hard to chew so that was quite the exercise for my jaw but I was so wanted to enjoy the flavor that I put up with the excessive toughness. The place is lovely and comfortable, the staff is friendly and professional, the place is clean and pretty, with some art on the wall that you can purchase. The parking lot is a bit odd, across the dirt road, behind a wooden fence but you'll sort it out. It seems odd to have to walk along the dirt road back out to the street to then walk along the building to get to the front door but once we finished our meal I discovered the back door which is much more convenient. Overall it was a lovely experience, a bit expensive, and the battle with the tough pork belly taco had me wondering if I would return, seeing as how it does take us a little while to get here (we live outside of Taos) but overall its a likable experience. read more

I highly recommend Doc Martin's. We called ahead and were told there was open seating in the bar area. As luck would have it, a table opened up just as we walked in! We had drinks (my usual Diet Coke) and my partner had his usual boulevardier which was very good. I ordered the rellenos and they were awesome. They made my top ten list!. Partner had chicken enchiladas which he thoroughly enjoyed. Highly recommended! read more

The service was good, the dishes were tasty. We came during Covid so we all sat outside. (No inside dining allowed by Governor's orders). It was lovey. They made space for us in the courtyard. I love seeing business get creative with how to serve the public. Doc Martin's nailed it. We had a great experience. read more

Best meal in Taos! I highly recommend this restaurant. The food was excellent. Get the Chili Platter. Our waitress, Ann was knowledgeable and efficient with a good personality. read more

My salad was great but my friends' meals was overcooked. The cocktails weren't all that. Service was excellent. Maybe just an off day. Live music was nice. read more

My wife and I had dinner today (6-20-2021) and she ordered the blue enchiladas with chicken and I the taco plate. Both were served with overly salted beans and uncle ben's rice. The blue enchilada with chicken was mostly cheese inside and out. The taco plate was chicken, carne adovada, and pork bell. The chicken in both meals were really chicken salad. Really, who does this! We let the waitress know and it was like talking to an adobe wall. I know for some this may be adequate or chic, though for anyone who is serious about their New Mexican foods, stay away. read more

Truly wonderful. The margaritas and ambience are amazing as well as the delicious treats. Loved this place so much!!!! P. S. GET THE APPLE CRISP!! read more

Our second time having dinner over the Christmas holidays. Both visits we had excellent service, received dinner quickly and enjoyed healthy-sized portions of New-Mex enchiladas. The ambiance can't be beat. read more

Good service on the patio for drinks and in the restaurant for dinner. All three of us started with a cup of green chile. It has just the right amount of heat IMO. Our mains were chicken enchiladas and two orders of chile rellenos. The enchiladas were good, the rellenos were great and worth the $25 price. They're stuffed with goat cheese and lavishly coated with roasted pumpkin seeds. One of the est meals I had in a week in NM. Service was fine - ambiance OK. Wish we had this in VA. read more

I just love this restaurant, and I love this Inn!!! My second time here, it was introduced to me by an aquintance I hope will become a friend. One must have a Turkey dinner on Thanksgiving! read more

Doc Martin's - Such a charming In, bar and restaurant on the heart of the plaza! - American Near Me - Taos, New Mexico

I'm torn between a 3 and a 4 here. I really like Doc Martin's because of the atmosphere. I love the legendary Taos Inn and this is the restaurant that comes with it. The Taos Inn is basically on the square in Taos, and has quite a history. The property that the Inn and restaurant sit on is large with lots of buildings. The buildings make up the "Inn", and the largest of them, the restaurant. Doc Martin came to NM in the late 1800s and set up his practice in the largest of homes on the pc of property. That office is now the restaurant at the Inn, Doc Martin's. Since it was a house, it has a lot of rooms. I love sitting in the rooms and thinking about what has taken place there. There's a cozy little nook that I can only imagine was his office. I digress --- people come here to eat! And that's the part that I get a little sideways on. The food is just so-so, it's consistent, but consistently so-so. There are lots of selections, both New Mexican and American. Last time I stopped in, we were there for lunch. We startred with a margarita - very well made from the Adobe Bar, which is in the same building (and makes some darned good margaritas), then had some chips and salsa and actually ordered a large plate of nachos to share. They were good, but nothing to write home about. In the past I have had their seared scallops which are prepared with a little red chile pesto and served with posole. I've also tasted the blue corn enchiladas which are served with your choice of red or green chile (or you can have "Christmas" - which is both) and rice and pintos. They have a fair wine list with good prices. Lunch will run you about $30 for two, all in, and dinner will set you back about $50-75, depending on what you order to drink. If you find yourself in Taos, NM, stop in and have a margarita at the Adobe Bar, and grab a bite at Doc Martin's. It's not anything over the top, but the scene is good, and you won't be disappointed. read more

This is the first restaurant I've been to, when everyone within earshot complained about either the food or the service, but most usually both. Oh, what random service it was! A server stopped by with a glass wine. "What wine is this I asked" - What you ordered was the reply. Can you tell me what it is? No. It' s what you ordered." My neighbor then leaned over and asked if it was a Malbec because he had ordered one some time ago and it had yet to arrive. Then a server stopped by and asked if we wanted bread. Yes we said, and then she disappeared. I guess she was just taking a poll. The food didn't arrive until after we sat there completely unattended to, in a very hot and very stuff alcove ("it's adobe - it heats up and then doesn't cool down.") The shrimp burrito was surprisingly actually fairly good. The elk burger was fairly good. The substantial side salad - which was provided as a substitute for fries because the frier was down - was fairly good too, but our getting it really pissed off our neighbors because they ordered it instead of us! The whole place felt like the kind of "special occaision restaurant" that people go to when they have few other choices, so this place can slide by with an atmosphere, menu and approach to service that perhaps was considered suitable 40 years ago, but times have changed significantly since then, but this place certainly hasn't. It's a time warp in here. And while, Taos thrives on it's history, this is one place that could use a break from its history. read more

Rode 350 miles on the motorcycle, checked in , showered and arrived here for dinner about 6 pm. Pleased they had our favorite Pinot on the menu. The menu is fairly succinct, 8 starters and 12 entrees. 'I ordered he scallops for a starter. Oops silly me, they had run out of those..... almost always on a Sunday night per our waitress. So I ordered a caprise salad. Weird presentation. Mixed greens, grape tomatoes, red onion. No basil, but in the dressing. Mozzarella you ask? oops, they're out. Order the hangar steak for dinner, right on, they are out. Ordered the pasta of the day. Lemon shrimp over angel hair. Good, I'm just crabby now. Dessert. Chocolate cake for dessert with vanilla ice cream. It came with orange sherbert!!! Out of vanilla. I give up and DO NOT RECOMMEND. read more

WARNING THEY AUTOMATICALLY ADD 18% TIP TO YOUR BILL We went there on the advise of a local who said the food was better than Love Apple or La Mese. We had a perfectly enjoyable dinner, I personally thought the Doc Martin Relenos were fabulous. Then the bill, they added 18% automatically. REALLY!!!! I get that you might want to reserve the right to do this to Europeans or South Americans, but to a group of native English speakers from Chicago where we know that 20% is a minimum tip for even average service is unacceptable. To me this is a trick to get unsuspecting tourists to double tip. In Chicago, New York or Washington, D.C. I have never seen this added to a group under 8 without it being clearly announced that the management automatically added a tip because they paid there servers an above minimum wage living wage. Did not see such a statement anywhere. Very annoying. read more

We enjoyed our dinner at Doc Martin's, especially our excellent server - who also filled us in on the building's history. (It turned out that we were eating in what had been Doc Martin's home.) The menu was extensive, and the food was quite good (although not quite the best that we enjoyed in Taos). read more

Service was good. I ordered a ribeye medium. It came out rare. I tried my best to eat it, I ate the mashed potatoes and shared my hubby's chile peppers. I'm not one to return my food. 3/4 was left over, told the waiter, he agreed that it was very rare and not cooked right. He removed the charge. read more

Great atmosphere, wonderful service and delicious unique food. We really enjoyed ourselves here at Doc Martin's.

Neat old place in the center of Taos. The nice folks who work there and the historic setting make this place a 4 star experience (and their perfectly prepared Eggs Benedict with spinach, tomato and thick cut bacon didn't hurt, either:). read more

I'm officially done with this place. They are supposed to have great margaritas, but mine was awful. It's hard to mess up a margarita, but there was not enough lime juice and the flavor was way off. I had the classic, my friend had the frozen classic, and my other friend had the pomegranate frozen ("I Need A Miracle" or something like that) and none were good. We all ordered at the same time, but all of the drinks were delivered except mine. After half an hour, I finally went to the bar and asked the waitress if I was going to get my drink or not and she obviously had not yet told the bartender that she was short one drink. After getting it and tasting it, I wish I'd had just let it slide and saved my money and frustration. The staff is aloof and the margaritas suck. Just skip it. This place is not the same as it used to be in the good ole days. read more

I was told by a local that the hotel that houses this restaurant is two hundred years old. Anabel makes a fabulous cup of chili, that is blended (not chunky). Their guacamole is very good and they have organic eggs. Their salsa has some kick, but not so much using New Mexico standards. The decor and service were all quit nice as well. read more

Went here during the Summer, and was duly impressed. If you're going to Taos, do yourself a favor eat here at least once. No, it's not really 'kid friendly' in terms of options, and in my book that's a good thing. Although it's classy, it's really not that expensive relative to other places with comparable quality. Well worth it. Got the rattlesnake & rabbit sausage dish and it was awesome. Even my picky-eater girlfriend dug in to this The pickled cabbage really brought out the flavor, and it's a unique dish you probably won't find anywhere else. She got the blue corn enchiladas and was equally impressed. Server was extremely attentive and thoughtful, prompt and pleasant. Outstanding service. Great history here, and the Adobe Bar next door has the best nightlife in town. Perfectly located right by Bent Street and the plaza, cannot (and should not) be missed. read more

I had a lunch meeting at Doc Martin's restaurant and thought I would try some special food here. For the first time I ordered their appetizer, Grilled Rattle Snake Sausage (yes, the name was bizarre!). It tasted delicious with the sweet cherry sauce on top. I would also recommend Doc's Chile Relleno Platter, a real popular dish here. Their foods were made from quality farm growth product. I definitely come back to try the rest of the menu. You can't go wrong with Chef Zippy White's taste treats read more

Great ambiance also, good for couples. read more

Thank you for bringing back the original nachos. We had some last week and so much better with the shredded cheese.

We just had the best brunch ever. Favorites were house made corn beef hash and chipotle ketchup. But the greatest dish was the Chile Relleno. Even my son's fresh squeezed OJ with soda water was delicious. Amazing value - best meal we've had at any price on our four day trip to northern NM. read more

What an experience. As a first time patron I was surprised based on previous yelp reviews. The margaritas were great, food was timely and delicious (chili relleno, carne asada, and ribeye... oh don't forget the lava cake). Our server (Kelly) was top notch - from being fast, funny, and always with great suggestions. Very impressive, and very worth going. read more

Atmosphere is cute and nice but the food is just bad. I'm a visitor, came for dinner on a Sunday, new year's day, don't recommend it. Comparing some of the pictures posted on Yelp to what was served, it does not seem consistent. My assumption would be that they don't secure ingredients very well, run out of things and improvise. Also there probably isn't any decent trained cook in the kitchen. things are over cooked, old oil is used to cook things, and dishes are too salty. I'm not a chef but you know when food is bad. I wanted to try the lamb but they were out. We ordered the rabbit rattlesnake sausage, it has no fat content, was super dry and was sliced into all over, which lets all the moisture out when cooked, wouldn't it? The place wants to up hold a high class restaurant but if the food is as bad, it just doesn't work. I'm sure visitors come for dinner thinking it's a decent place, the only thing that's good is the building and atmosphere. Not sure about drinks but would not recommend the food. read more

When a hungry family is out on patrol, it is not always easy to satisfy all members of the clan. Doc Martin's was able to do this however, as our wonderful, yet brutally honest (she informed our family that we were high maintenance due to the specific eating requests - some are vegan, others vegetarian, etc.) waitress, Laura, brought us some great dishes. The Chile rellenos to start were delish, and the restaurant had a nice "warm inn" feel to it. Good service, good food. Possibly stay away from the eggplant parm, go southwestern, as you are in New Mexico, the land of enchantment! Also, I would like to compliment the restaurant on trying to source locally when possible - you go Doc! If you are looking for a comfortable option, and need to bring the kids (seems like a child friendly place), as well as the business execs, I believe Doc Martin's is the place to go. Eat well, rsb read more

Very nice restaurant, good food, great service. I had the Scottish Salmon and it was fantastic. My wife just had New Mexico Tortilla soup and she said it was good as well. The appetizer was Red Chili Cornbread with a butter/honey combination that was absolutely delicious. read more

No flavor in green or red chile. This is New Mexico. They should know better. Overpriced, overrated. Poor service. Very disappointed.

The only hiccup we had was in making reservations. I called a couple of days before arriving, got an answering machine asking me to leave my name/number, and never got a call back. When we arrived, I called again - left message again - no call back. We finally decided to go to Taos Inn and physically make reservation - since the restaurant wasn't open when we arrived (3pm), we left a message with the front desk clerk. And we finally got a call back! Unfortunately, when we arrived, they were a bit swamped and our 8pm rez ended up getting us seated at 8:30pm. But that aside, service, food, and ambience were all lovely. We dined on chile rellenos, pork ribs, Caesar salad (with traditional dressing), and amazing lamb shank. The room was a bit warm, and they kept propping a door open to help with that, but the room was just fully packed, so no wonder. read more

We had dinner at Doc Martin's on November 3. The restaurant is located in the historic Taos Inn and the interior is very comfortable & attractive.
