This laid back New Mexican restaurant is super family friendly and good for groups. Their tacos are amazing, and if you're feeling adventurous try their Mojarra Frita (an entire wild tilapia fried to perfection) or their Cameron a la Diabla (spicy marinated shrimp).

Great Mexican restaurant in Taos. Everything I've had has been delicious and the service is always friendly and speedy. While I find it weird having to pay for chips, salsa and guacamole (most places do free chips and salsa), this place has amazing guacamole, so it's worth it. But pro tip - order the nachos instead of the chips/salsa/guac. You get more bang for your buck I think.

Fun place for drinks (music at night). There's public parking behind; the small street to get back there is easy to miss and is just to the right of the Taos Inn as you're facing it.

This is arguably one of NM's best ski resorts. And luckily you are staying right down the road. Go check it out, even if you don't ski.

This is definitely worth a visit once on your trip. It's like our very own Grand Canyon. But just hold to the railing as you look down to the river below. Incredible view.

Trails are decent. Climb is challenging. Views are breathtaking. A must for anyone hiking/backpacking in Taos area. Probably not for beginners.

Take a stroll down the tiny adobe lanes and buy some artwork from the many sculptors, artisans, weavers, jewelers, photographers, and other artists of Taos Village. Did someone say turquoise?!

If you saw the gorge from above, then this is the perfect place to visit it and the Rio Grande from below. It is an awesome roadside stop for fishing, enjoying nature, and even a little river dip (go find the natural hot springs nearby, but be careful climbing over the rocks). The road is dirt, but you don't need a 4x4 unless there has been some heavy rain or snow melt.
