I like the Taos Inn, wonderful atmosphere, exceptional wait staff, good food. We had a party of six and the waitress took our food and drink orders without writing anything down!  Every order was perfect and delivered to the correct person without asking.

If you enjoy microbrews, try Eskes, behind the Cabot Plaza.  Excellent beer and food.

Another favorite is the Embudo Station.  Located between Taos and Santa Fe, right on the Rio Grande.  I don't know how the food is, but they have a great patio underneath the cottonwoods.

In Taos, I'll second a previous post for the Taos Inn (restaurant is Doc Martin's), Eskies Brewpub (try the chile beer) and Embudo Station (great place to relax along the river.)

Would also recommend Lambert's for creative Southwestern fusion and the little burrito stand in the silver trailer just south of the flashing light.

Also worth a brief side trip is the La Chirapada winery in Dixon. Great place for tasting some excellent local wine.

A friend has a place in Taos, and everytime we're there, he takes us to Tim's Stray Dog in the ski valley for lunch (open all year) for a bowl of green, and to The Chile Connection (closer to town, but not in it) for dinner.  Beautiful setting at Tim's any time of the year; inexpensive.  He also does a fun Philly steak sandwich with green chiles.

The Chile Connection has a lot of the basics, but also has a selection of creative entrees in the $10-15 range (I was impressed with the smoked mussel chiles rellenos) -- and also boasts a cognac/armagnac collection that would make a lot of NY/LA restaurateurs jealous.

For straightforward New Mexican in Santa Fe, I liked the Pink Adobe; we also ate at The Coyote Cafe, and the stuff was certainly elaborate and generally very enjoyable, but memories of my meal there are blurred by the fact that we couldn't get a table until after 9 pm (after 10 pm by my tummy time) and we had just flown in that afternoon, so we were a little burnt out (and all the moreso after the fire in some of Mark Miller's dishes ;-) ).

There is a cantina that is part of the Cayote Cafe. It's on the roof and the prices are much lower, the food is really good, and the atmosphere is great fun. No reservations! In Taos there is a nice place called The Apple Tree which we enjoyed. A courtyard setting. Nice lunch place. Terry

My current favorite in Santa Fe is Inn of the Anasazi (nouvelle southwestern; pricey). For traditional Southwestern, I like Tomasita's (inexpensive, no reservations). For PacRim/Fusion, try Santa Cafe. For cartoon Southwestern, try Coyote Cafe.

A great place in Santa Fe for breakfast or lunch is the Cafe Pasqual. Really fun. Casual.  Interesting menu.  Excellent food.  Very inexpensive.
