Doesn't
@KingGrump do Taos a lot?
You guys really want me to sweat over this, don't ya? I was hoping to stay real quiet and no one would notice.
I'll start off with food.
Lunch.
The deck at St. B have good burgers, brat, salmon & chicken for a very good price. Don't miss the sauerkraut. If it is cold outside, you can take it down stair inside.
The bar area at St. B also serve soup, pasta, salad and sandwiches daily for around $10. Decent food.
Cafeteria (Tenderfoot Kate) - Food is OK. Pretty standard fare.
Rhoda next to the cafeteria is nice & civilized. Prices are good and food is decent.
Tim's Stray Dog Cantina - Very good NM food at a very fair price.
The Bavarian Lodge - Authentic German Austrian food. Well prepared. If Schnitzel, brat & spatzle is your kind of food, you came to the right place. Large steins of German beer usually discourages me from skiing after lunch there.
The Phoenix Grill - Forgetaboutit. Yes, it is that bad. Don't believe I have ever had a decent lunch there yet.
Après.
St. B - My favorite place. Nice & cozy.
Edelweiss - Nice bar at the lobby. Get a bit noisy due to all the hard surfaces.
The Martini Tree Bar - Never clicked with me. Large & impersonal feel.
Dinner.
Tim's is a good bet for a quick bit on the hill.
Orlando's - Good New Mexican food at a very reasonable price.
El Meze - Limited menu but everything is well prepared.
Michael's Kitchen - Good standard fare, large portions.
Medley - Not worth the $.
Sabroso - Good food, decent prices. They also have live music some nights. Jimmy Stadler is a regular there.
Guadalajara Grill - Nice informal local feel. Large portion, good price. The one at the north side of town is the original and better of the two in town.
Skiing wise, if you group could swing it, Have the folks take a ski week . It's very inexpensive. They have not posted prices for the coming season yet. The last couple years were around $185 with a Taos card. You can probably do better with a group discount.
The ski week instructors will allow the group to discover terrain that is appropriate to each group's skill level. It is very easy to get over terrain at Taos.
I'll cover the skiing & terrain aspect in another post when I have a little more time.
