    Bacon egg and cheese
    Kurt D.

    Everyone was super friendly and it was quiet and cozy. I got there when it opened and spoke with the owner, Kim, and she gave me some history on the place. I got a bacon egg and cheese but they are known for their cuban sandwiches. Highly recommend coming for lunch!

    Pan Con Lechon and a dark and stormy.

    Stopped in for a bite to eat, and the food was pretty good. Not the best Cuban, but definitely worth a try. It is an order at the counter and they bring it to you type of place. Ordered a Pan Con Lecheon, and a dark and stormy. Both were tasty. Service was quick and efficient. There aren't any sides to order, so really all you get is a sandwich. No beans, plantains, or other kinds of sides to go with your sandwich. Worth a stop if you want a decent Cuban sandwich.

    Delicious!  Center of downtown, walk-up to outdoor counter to order, sit inside or out.  Would return!

    Delicious food, the avocado salad has a delicious sauce, mixes well with $5 rice and beans. Yummy! Great background music too. Enjoyed it!

    Ham egg and cheese breakfast sandwich

    A stop you must take when you go through Leadville. Amazing breakfast and lunch sandwiches to take on the go or eat on their large patio. Who would have thought you could find authentic Cuban food in the middle of the Rocky Mountains! Great food, great service!!

    So tasty - so fast - so easy. A little bit pricey for bread and meat, but I'd still recommend. Outdoor seating is divine!

    Although it was a quick lunch I noticed that customers love this place. Non stop walk in traffic. The Pan Con Leche that we shared was delicious and hit the spot! It may look thin but it's got heft! Outside and inside seating available!

    egg panini

    I loved the vibes of this place. The outdoor seating is really cute and lots of places to sit. The staff was nice. I got the Breakfast Sandwiches - the egg sandwich. It was warm and the panini bread was delicious. However the egg seemed unseasoned and really just lacked flavor. Not super impressed by the filling.

    Iced cafe con leche and la bodega sandwich
    Cristal O.

    The service here was really good and the food was as stated on the menu. I enjoyed my sandwich, but was not aware of how strong the coffee drinks would be. It was decently priced for Leadville. If you are a coffee lover and enjoy paninis it's a place to consider.

    Oh my gosh, I had the most incredible Cuban sandwich experience! I ordered the Aye Cono, and my girlfriend got the Cuban mix. Let me tell you, both sandwiches were absolutely phenomenal! And you absolutely cannot miss out on the iced coffee it's as bold and strong as Vietnamese iced coffee! You've got to try this place!

    Cuban Mix
    Audrey O.

    Yep I get it. If you're coming through Leadville and need some sandos for a hike, get the Cuban mix sandwich. If you need breakfast on your way to ski, I don't care if it's 7 am, get the Cuban mix sandwich. If it's 2:30 PM and you're not hungry and they are about to close, I don't care get the Cuban mix sandwich. It's a damn good Cuban sandwich and you will NOT be disappointed.

    Food is amazing, we are obsessed. We go as any excuse to come from Denver!!! Great service and awesome seating, inside is cozy and outside is super fun. The owners are amazing and even remember us from when they use to be located in Denver. I crave the Aye conyo all the time. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu!!!!

The decor is simply cluttered and messy. I understand trying to sell the pictures from the local artist, but the way they are displayed really doesn't fit in with the ambience of the restaurant. The food, was also disappointing. Nothing at all elevated like the Timberline next-door. Just simple fair at high prices. They don't even have any gourmet coffee.

    Little Diner is not just a place to eat in Vail it's an institution, the kind you measure trips by…read moreand remember long after the mountains fade in the rearview mirror. The food is abundant, honest, and deeply satisfying; the kind that reminds you why simple things, done well, matter. The service carries that same spiritprofessional, warm, and genuinely kind. It's food for the people by the people not glitzy rubbish that makes you wonder have I eaten yet!!!! You do need a bit of patience. Nothing here is rushed, and that's precisely the point. Every plate is cooked to order, every detail given its due. Good things take time, and here, time is part of the recipe. Little Diner is just that diner heaven. Food that sticks to your bones, comforts your soul, and leaves you leaning back in your chair saying, "God, that was great." Vail itself is a different kind of spectacle stunning, no doubt, with its postcard beauty, polished storefronts, and a steady parade of designer threads and glittering displays. Prices feel executive, and there's a certain showiness in the air, a place where being seen can matter as much as seeing. And yet, tucked within it all, Little Diner stands apart. It caters to simple, kind, genuine people those who don't need labels or luxury to feel fulfilled. Here, it's not about gold foil or truffles or culinary theatrics. It's food for the stomach and the soul. Real food. No pretense, no nonsense just somethinghonest on a plate and a place that feelshuman. The coffee arrives strong and unapologetic, just as it should in a mountain town. And my dirty burger? Simply splendid messy, indulgent, unforgettable. Which is why the news stings. Rumors of rising rents and a looming development threaten to push this family-owned gem out, making way, no doubt, for something shinier, pricier, and far less soulful. One can already imagine the replacement: a polished, over-designed "concept," where the plates are smaller, the prices larger, and the experience carefully curated yet strangely hollow. It would be a loss not just for Vail, but for anyone who values authenticity over affectation. Places like Little Diner don't just feed you they ground you. And once they're gone, no amount of gastronomic flair or fashionable pretense can quite fill the space they leave behind. Jose Pienknagura JosePienknagura@gmail.com

    Not Good...this is a 1st for me....and it makes me sad to say it. HEAD's UP.... if your are popping…read moreoff of the to enjoy a good meal, know that the parking is not convenient. You need to find the Lionhead Village parking garage & walk through the shops to get to the building. The signage does not make it easy to find on the upper level. But, we had read that it was a "great breakfast spot" so we took the time to find the pkg garage & walk to the Diner. Having bartended in a previous life, we both feel most comfortable dining at a bar... so we settled in at the bar and patiently waited to be greeted. The server was very involved with another customer, showing them photos (on her phone) and then, while they continued conversing, she brought us waters. While dropping the waters, she asked us "what can I get you to drink?" and without our ready answer, abruptly turned back to the other couple and continued their visit... completely forgetting, I am guessing, that she had even asked us a question. After another 3 minutes of wrapping up their visit, she finally returned, as if she had not left us hanging....and hungry. No "I'm sorry" or "my apologies for the delay", just a question of "what was it you wanted?" Hubby replied that we would like the "fresh squeezed orange juice" and asked if it was squeezed in house. "No, I just work here, I don't squeeze it" and that was how our morning dining experience nearly ended. The VERY FIRST ITEM on your menu touts "fresh squeezed" and it is not the truth???? What else isnt' the truth? Are those "made from scratch" biscuits made in someone else's factory? Anything else need a disclaimer? Having been on the road a bit & being very hungry, and also having decided that this was a diner that we wanted to experience (after a lot of research the night before), we did order. Hubby's breakfast sandwich scored a 7 out of 10 for him, my over medium egg and bacon would have been a delicious 10 had they been a little more up to temp than "barely warm" (they sat under the warming light for over 5 minutes). We were sitting right where we saw our food prepared, in the lovely open kitchen, so we made note of the time lapsed between my plate going to the expo station & his breakfast sandwich being plated. So, food wise...we give this diner a 7. Service wise.... a 1. She never looked our way again after taking our order. I had to literally call out "excuse me, ma'am...could I please get a refill on my coffee?" Our waters were never refilled. She spent her time "working her regulars" and missed out on a potential regular (as we pass by Vail a LOT) and also missed out on 2 very generous tippers. (Having both been in the service industry, we start out at 20% when we sit down and it typically goes up from there. Last night's server was wonderful and he was rewarded for the outstanding service.) This morning's service was abominable and her tip was definitely not 20%. I must say that the cooks' areas were very tidy and clean. I was highly impressed with their stations and give them kudos for that and the perfect preparation of my egg. The diner is so cute, I really wanted to love it. I left very sad that our experience was not a positive one. Last thing...there are placards that ask that patrons help them survive by giving to their Go Fund Me or Venmo account. um......

The sauce was really strong, and I wasn't a big fan of the flavour, but it was really the chorizo that made the burrito not that good. The eggs and tortilla were good. Still giving it an okay rating though because maybe this was some special chorizo that I'm not accustomed to.
