New Mexico Getaway (Taos, Santa Fe, & Albuquerque)
See All Lists
1. Adobe and Pines Inn
I think on the first day of our stay at Adobe & Pines Inn, we were already planning the next time we would come back and stay again.
What made me choose Adobe & Pines? All the great reviews on Trip Advisor. We stayed in the Puerta Cobre room. It was a…More »
2. Ojo Caliente Mineral Springs Resort & Spa
Grab the robes from your hotel and head to Ojo Caliente for a day trip to soak in some hot springs!
This was one of the top highlites of our NM trip--what an experience!
First, eat at the restaurant here. Our meal at The Artesian Restaurant was…More »
3. Rellenos Cafe - CLOSED
Dining at Rellenos Café was like eating at the tiny house of someone who cooks really well.
I had my heart set on eating at Chef Damon's but my better half needed a low key place after a day of traveling and adjusting to the high altitude.
We started…More »
4. Georgia O'Keeffe Museum
The Georgia O'Keefe Museum was in my "Top 3" for places we visited while in New Mexico.
It's not very big but I think it's a decent collection of her work. Be sure to catch the 12-minute movie of her life. You will learn that not all her artwork was…More »
5. Coyote Moon
Well, well, well, I found my favorite store in Taos!
This artsy store leans toward Dia de los Muertos art with intricately made alters and artwork featuring skeletons, as well as religious themed art. I think I spent over an hour in this store and it…More »
6. High Desert Healthcare & Massage
Santa Fe, NM 87501
(505) 984-8830
Categories:
Acupuncture,
Massage,
Traditional Chinese Medicine
No reviews for High Desert? Let me indulge you...
After looking at the prices at the spa in La Posada I just knew that there had to be some place nearby that had more reasonable prices. Low and behold right down the street I found High Desert…More »
7. Bandelier National Monument
I prefer to visit museums on vacation and my husband enjoys being outside and learning about history. Since I dragged him to a couple museums, it was only fair that I accompanied him to Bandelier.
This is a popular tourist area.
We paid $12 to get in…More »
8. Rio Grande Gorge Bridge
I would suggest adding the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge to your "to-see" list when visiting Taos.
It's free, a short drive from Taos Plaza, and an excellent photo-op. Holy crap is it high and if you don't think you're afraid of heights you might think…More »
9. Taos Pueblo
Visiting Taos Pueblo was an interesting experience. It was my first visit to a pueblo and I wasn't really sure what to expect.
Admission is $10/person and $5/still camera. There are rules for visiting, so read up on them and be respectful.
We joined a…More »
10. Clafoutis
This place is cute...and has great food!
We needed a break from green & red chile and beans. Clafoutis is located on the north side and since we were there during an off time, there was no wait.
We ordered "The Sea" (smoked salmon, shrimp, anchovies, a…More »
11. Earthship Biotecture
Driving into the Earthship World Headquarters was like driving onto a movie set of Mad Max.
Earthships are built with recycled materials, collect rainwater that is filtered and used 4 times in the earthship, and don't cost any money to cool or heat.

12. The Plaza Café - CLOSED
We trekked over to Tia Sophia's for brunch on Easter only to find it closed. We were on the hunt for some place that served huervos rancheros and found it a few blocks later at Plaza Café. This diner was bustling but there were several open tables.…More »
13. Horsefeathers Etc
So these boots previously referenced in the original review are AMAZING. I wear them several times a week and they are super comfortable. I recently walked through ankle-deep wet cement in them (in my defense, it had just been poured and was not…More »

I remember visiting a similar store in Houston that was lined with used cowboy boots. To my delight,… Read more »
14. La Posada de Santa Fe
La Posada really has the whole customer service thing down. From the time we pulled up to the valet to the time we checked out, I felt very taken care of. Every person that worked there that we encountered, would ask how our stay was and if we needed…More »
15. Steakout Grill & Bar
The view seems to be the #1 reason people go to the Stakeout, the service keeps them coming back, and the food is good but not quite on par with the view and service.
We were lucky enough to be there during sunset and I'm not a sappy type, but I have…More »
16. Nambe Pueblo
Santa Fe, NM 87501
(505) 455-0142
This review is for the waterfall area.
I'm a planner, especially on vacation. You know those people that are like, "Oh, let's roll into town and go from there." Yeah, that's not me. I think I read 3 books on New Mexico before our visit and may or may…More »
17. Hyatt Regency Albuquerque
We got a mountain view king room for $116/night through a special on Hyatt's website.
:) friendly staff, clean & modern room, ipod dock, decent sized workout room, close to airport, nice view
:/ For being a 20 story hotel, we didn't see many people.
…More »
18. Spotted Bear
The cute dresses in the display window caught my attention.
This store seems to be geared toward women in their late 20s to 40s (maybe even 50s+). They have very cute dresses, wraps, coats, accessories, etc. I came across some unique pieces that I…More »
19. Sadie's Dining Room
I read in a tour book that Sadie's is where locals go to eat New Mexican food. I think it meant to say "is where local families go to eat New Mexican food." Lots of families & kids here. You get a lot of food for your money.
I literally popped a belt…More »
20. Museum of International Folk Art
I had read such great things about the Museum of International Folk Art that I was quite let down after my visit. Maybe it was because part of the museum was closed. Maybe it was because I was with someone who didn't really want to be there. Or maybe…More »
21. Blue Corn Cafe
I read that Blue Corn Cafe & Brewery was a good place for an inexpensive meal. "Okay" sums up this place.
After trying samples of about 7 of their beers, none really stood out. Maybe the Atomic Blonde (if you held a gun to my head and made me…More »
