What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
The Trading Post Market offers a diverse menu with standout breakfast options and flavorful dishes like BBQ Brisket Mac and Cheese. While many praise the food quality and unique atmosphere, some diners have experienced significant service issues, including long waits and unhelpful staff during busy periods. The single restroom can also be a point of concern for some patrons.
"So… i’ve never been here for breakfast before,just for a quick lunch, but their burgers are great and the green chili stew is the best, but breakfast here…?! Sooo freakin good! I wouldn’t do anything else to this meal. The chilies are so perfect and distinct between green and red. I had the Chilaquiles my husband had juevos rancheros…absolutely perfect, definitely recommend."

"Tldr - Service is very casual, food is good. Single restroom
Place with a cool vibe.
The food was pretty good as well. We all enjoyed the food we ordered.
As mentioned, there was a single server working the entire restaurant. She was nice and pleasant. Just hard for her to get around the entire place on her own.
Also, if you need the restroom during your visit there may be a line for it as it's a single restroom for the establishment."
Oscar Stiles
"Looks like a hole in the wall passing by, but it's quite a large restaurant inside. Features a variety of cuisines--the onion rings, truffle fries, brisket quesadilla, and french dip were all enjoyed. The hamburger not as much, but that was my fault for not realizing that I should have chosen diced, not smothered, green chiles."

How to Make the Most of One Day in Taos, New Mexico
Once you’ve warmed up your legs exploring the Taos Plaza, it’s time to set out on a self-guided walking tour of some other historic sites. A few years ago, a now-defunct group put together a guide to help you, but I used that to create my own Taos self-guided walking tour as well as the video above.
24 Hours In Taos
Lots of choices here; Lamberts, Love Apple, The Ranchos Trading Post or the Taos Inn’s Doc Martin’s. If casual and relaxed appeals, sit in the Adobe Bar and order the award winning green chile. Orlando’s is fab for traditional fare and is a casual dining spot and family friendly as well.
Food & Drink Archives
Amidst vigas, wrought iron furniture, and local art, you can watch chefs prepare flavorful dishes from the open-air kitchen. Three dining rooms, outdoor patio. Italian favorites, American classics, and daily specials.
