Doc Martin's

It had been a few years since we've visited Doc Martin's but our favorite bar was closed on a Sunday so we drove into downtown Taos to have a few beers and play some cards for a few hours. The bar was very clean, the server--a young woman whose name I unfortunately don't recall--was SUPER nice and friendly. There was an accoustic guitarist warming up in the next room but the music wasn't so loud that you couldn't talk. Excellent guac, salsa, & chips and good NM beer. Highly recommend.

We've been here before and we came back for the food and experience. Doc Martin's has a limited menu so that they can focus on providing interesting entrees. We had the Blue Corn Encrusted Trout and Ribeye Fajitas. Also on our table Wes the Doc's Relleno appetizer. The chilli had a thick red crusted on it. We raced to eat it. The full trout came withe the head and all the scales and fins. Yes, It was all good.

Service: 5/5 stars, our waitress was very prompt with taking our orders, and was always checking in on us. Atmosphere: 4.5/5 stars, there was live music and the ambiance of the whole place was great. Lively, cheery, fun. Food/Drinks: 4/5 stars, the food was very good and you got a VERY healthy serving of it, with lots of sides, and plenty of food to fill your belly. The spicy margarita was absolutely fantastic as well.

My husband and I stopped here one evening while in Taos. We tried their Chile relleno which was absolutely delicious. I loved the presentation with the pepitas. The outer shell was so good and crunchy. We also had their salsa and chip. The salsa was super spicy but tasty. My husband had a margarita and he said it was the best one he’s had on our trip. Being pregnant, they made me a non-alcoholic margarita using passionfruit I believe and it blew me away. It’s hard to get a good mocktail, but I am still dreaming about this concoction to this day. Service was awesome and we really enjoyed being able to sit outside.

We made reservations for Christmas Day a few days prior and we’re surprised to find they still had open times. We had a love corner booth. The shrimp appetizer was good, but pretty small and we didn’t realize it was fried. The dinner portions were quite large. The coating on the chili rellenos was made in house and fantastic. The rice and beans were wonderful. The desserts were unique and sounded fantastic, but we didn’t save room. Service was a bit slow, but to be expected on such a busy day. We would definitely return to taste more menu options. Cheers p

We had dinner on the patio at dusk. Our server provided great service! :) The margarita was delicious and Abuelita's pork stew reminded me of my own grandmother's stew recipe. Warmed my belly and my heart. My husband had the carne asada entree and it was very flavorful. Beautiful setting in Taos. Editing to add that we came back the next night. Ordered cornbread (just a tad dry, but the butter made up for it), burger, chicken tamale, and romaine anchovy salad. All delicious! Husband ordered tres leches cake, his favorite, and it may have been the best he's had.
