The Laughing Lizard Inn & Cafe

Chef Elliot

Our distinctive menu features a wide range of recipes to suit every taste. All our dishes come with that extra personal touch that makes the Laughing Lizard the best dining experience in the Jemez Valley. We use only the freshest ingredients available and prepare each dish to order. We serve both meat and vegetarian dishes to accomodate everyone's preferences.

Our coffee and espresso is a special French Roast blend especially made for the Laughing Lizard Cafe by local New Mexico coffee roasters. Come sit by our woodstove and savor a cup of real, honest java!
