Any recent visits to Taos to update restaurant recommendations?
We'll be in New Mexico for a week or so shortly. I have places in Santa Fe (courtesy of Wine+Art).

I'll be hiking nearby Taos this summer. But will be eating trail food, not in restaurants.

Yikes.
My idea of "roughing it" is turning the electric blanket down to medium.

The hiking part I like - the eating trail food part and sleeping outdoors, not so much

Best restaurants in no particular order:
Orlando's New Mexican Café
La Cueva
Medley (the most wine friendly option with a store next door where you can buy at near retail IIRC)
Love Apple
Gutiz
There are other options but those are the ones I remember.

irwin, Taos has never been a hotspot for fine dining. On our last visit we ate at the Love Apple.
The restaurant is in an old chapel from the 1800's, has a serviceable wine list and an ever changing menu focused on local and seasonal items. A solid B I would say on our last visit.

I would agree with w + a. There is nothing life changing there.

If I opened a restaurant in Taos, it would be life-changing, as is everything else I do, absolutely!
Cheers!

El Meze
Orlando's
Medley
That pretty much wraps it up as far as I could find.

Not much time has passed, but will be in the area in mid Oct. if any new suggestions pop-up.

we ate at a Middle Eastern place called El Gamal.
(Gamal is Hebrew for camel-- not sure where the El comes from, and I note that Nasser's first name was Gamal, so maybe it is an Arabic word also). This was lunch. Not a dinner place.

If you find something there of note, please post. I never have. Their art is dreadful and never found any food above average at best.
If you are driving from Santa Fe, I would take the High Raod there and return taking the Low Road.
