Rolled into town with my 7 yo. Any recommendations on food? Looks like Taos Mesa Brewing has pizza, any feedback on it?

The 2 best pizzas in Taos, which are actually really good, are Pizza Out Back, and Pizanos.
The TMB pizzas are just OK.

If you are going to be around tomorrow night, the Lil Smokies are playing the mothership TMB. 10 bucks. A band not to miss anywhere.

There are a couple of locations. The Mothership is a few miles down Hwy 64, and their menu is taco-oriented. I'm here now.

Thanks, everyone. We are here through Sunday, so we will be hitting a few places. The boy picked Outback Pizza for tonight and Orlando’s looks good for tomorrow.

Amusing thread here. I've skied Taos exactly one day, and it was flippin' huge powder. It has the freaking terrain for sure, so you've got that going for you (and no crowds)! Kind of like CB I think: probs the best resort in CO...if and only IF it happens to be overflowing with snow. These would be my two favorite resorts ever, except: the consistency is not there.
It did not hurt that my Taos day was on a road trip, consummating a relationship, after skiing a couple days of CB, and finishing with some nice climbing and non-developed hot springs, in Los Alamos. That trip was memorable - not only for the powder skiing and fresh gettin'-down, but because of a broken windshield wiper cruising home, during a full-on blizzard. Had to steal a squeegee from a gas station, duct tape it onto a ski pole, get on all my gear, lean out the window and manually wipe, whilst my brand-new girlfriend drove. Ok, lasted like 40 minutes, 'till I thought I was gonna die, then we MacGuiver'd a solution involving manually controlling the wiper from inside the car, using a couple of Sorel laces, while we negotiated white-out on Raton Pass. Ah...good times for sure.
Anyhow, Taos the town seemed cool enough, but of course I never peeled back anything more than the thinnest of surface layers (Santa Fe, OTOH, seemed boring AF - not sure what the huge tourist appeal is about). But then, while I never seriously considered living in NM, I always assumed it would come with all the off-flavors discussed in this thread (and of course, some upside of well, how can I put it...avoiding the annoyances of say the Front Range)

Bring skis that are comfortable in the bumps.
The breakfast burrito at Abe’s, near the ASM.

Since you're staying at the Snowmansion, I'm guessing that you're staying relatively low-key. I guess I'll make a couple of suggestions: (1) Early dinner/late lunch after the lifts close at the Hondo Bar, which is downstairs in the Snakedance condo bldg. The lamb green chile stew is unbelievably good, and it's also very filling (if you get a meatful serving). And it is only $8, I think. My own research has confirmed, on many occasions, that this will last you until the next morning. (2) And to reiterate what someone casually mentioned earlier, the food in the KTAO bar is pretty darn good, and it's cheap. You will also be dropped into quite a mix of the local characters.
I wish I could say that I had high hopes for the quality of the skiing this weekend, but it's been warm up there, and the weekend forecast is for a clouds-and-light-snow follow up Sat and Sun. I guess we'll see... Good luck!
cheers,
john

Hope to link some turns but have to move the shop today.
