Luminaria serves inventive Southwestern fare in a beautiful setting. Reviews online rave about the blue corn "steak & enchiladas", the tortilla soup, and the strawberry-jalapeno margarita! We would love to spend an evening here.

Taos Pueblo is the only living Native American community designated both a World Heritage Site by UNESCO and a National Historic Landmark. The multi-storied adobe buildings of the pueblo have been continuously inhabited for over 1000 years. Pete is big into history so this is a must-see.
