We arrived on the square just when the stores were opening so we got an ideal parking place and shopped all around at the various shops. We ended up at the La Fonda hotel to look at the RC Gorman collection there and then moved on to the Gorman Gallery on LeDieux St. to see more. It was fun and... More

You're either a Taos person or you're not. Some people don't care for its smallness, the lack of infrastructure and so forth. But some do. True, if you're coming from Santa Fe, Taos seems like a poor imitation. But if you view it with history in mind, you realize it's a semi-hidden gem. All of this holds true for the... More

Tee shirt and souvenir shops dominate the plaza, with just a couple of high end shops in between. Very few options for food, but the juice/smoothie cart is pretty good. There really isn't much to see or even places to just sit. On the other hand, Santa Fe is doing great and a lot more interesting.

We almost missed out on this quaint plaza during our first drive through the town. Located just one street over from the main road through, it's very easy to miss. Take a left at the stop light in the middle of town. You can't miss it.

We heard traditional musicians from Ecuador and Mexico at the Taos Plaza. It was very relaxing to listen to the music and relax in the sunshine.

I am a little more picky and like good quality art and Native American handmade jewelry. This time around there was a Native American from the Taos Pueblo selling watercolors he... More

Parking is tough in Taos but it seems all motorcycles are allowed to park within the center of the Plaza. Good deal. Then walk down the ally to Ally Cantina for a tourist meal. Better yet go over to the Taos Inn from 4-6pm for happy hour and nachos for $4.

Taos Plaza has lots of shops, lots of touristy stuff and also some really good stuff. I stopped into one shop to buy postcards and came out with postcards and a pair of earrings which cost me less that $25--sleeping beauty turquoise studs. I feel confident in saying that since I know what to look for. The owner was very... More
