New Mexico is home to some of the country’s most historic towns, with buildings standing for well over a hundred years. The state is home to restaurants and hotels that have been open since the 1800s, and people come from miles around to step back in time. One of the state’s most famous towns is Taos, home to the Taos Inn, a hotel on the national registry of historic places. It also houses a candidate for the most historic restaurant in New Mexico – Doc Martin’s, a charming throwback to the best food the American southwest has to offer.
Located in interconnected Adobe houses built in the 1800s, the historic Taos Inn is the most famous place to stay in Taos.
It's also home to the town's signature restaurant - Doc Martin's, a southwestern gem where modern-day southwestern cuisine meets the flavors that have been served here for generations.
If you're lucky enough to be here for breakfast, make sure to try their signature blue corn blueberry pancakes, made with the same local corn that's been a staple of native diets for centuries.
If you're not in the mood for Mexican flavors today, the fish and chips at Doc Martin's are among the best in New Mexico -- and yes, it does come with the required malt vinegar!
