Wonderful dinner for my parents 40th wedding anniversary. Zari made sure everything was perfect from the get-go. Food was bursting with flavor and portioned just right, from appetizers to dessert. Hanna and Talia provided outstanding service. The views at The Stakeout might be the best in Taos. Can'…t wait to return!

Stakeout is the vibe! Make your reservation for just after sunset as it can get a bit toasty before. We came on Sunday and the jazz band set the mood on the outdoor patio. Caitlin was a gem and Zari made us feel super welcome. Caesar salad to start, grilled veggies and steak & frites are the move. C…ocktails were delicious. Chocolate torte and a carajillo to cap it off…chefs kiss. Will come back, highly recommend.

The Stake Out always offers a great time! Jane is a fabulous host and makes you always feel at home. It’s available for “Special Events”. We had Thanksgiving dinner there 2025. It’s a great hang out during the summer and the sunsets are unbelievable!

Using The Stakeout as our wedding venue exceeded every expectation. Stunning views, gorgeous space--it truly feels like an oasis. The attention to detail is incredible. All of the furniture, place settings, decor, and overall design aesthetic complement each other perfectly, which made the planning… process that much easier. So many guests told us it was the best wedding food they'd ever had - fresh, unique, and absolutely delicious. The drinks were equally impressive with an elevated, artisanal feel. Caroline, Johnny, and the team were exceptional - down-to-earth, lovely, and made sure everything ran smoothly even when we had a bit of a rain scare and had to make some pivots. You could tell they genuinely cared about making our day special. Cannot recommend The Stakeout enough!

The Stakeout is a beautiful place at an elevation that allows you to see sweeping views of the mountains all around Taos. We went on a Sunday evening and ate dinner. The food was great. Voodoo chicken with the corn side dish was an amazing combo! A great bottle of wine. And live music started… up around 7:30. Great atmosphere. Recommend. But note that service is relaxed and somewhat slow. And they did run out of some menu items later in the evening.

The Stakeout is THE WEDDING VENUE of Northern New Mexico. Its offering of adobe arches, outdoor patios, chimeneas and some of the best drink chemists in the southwest, all the while surrounded by sage and piñons gives it so much spirit. My wife and I were not only able to live out a dream of having …our wedding in Northern NM at the Stakeout but we also got to share the Mountain Views with our friends from around the world. It almost goes without saying They, along with us, are forever going to have a special spot in our heart for the Stakeout. As a native New Mexican, have your Wedding, Event, an off the beaten path moment at the Stakeout and have your soul touched by a just as enchanting staff… you won’t regret it.
