    Beef something
    Tim S.

    Pretty solid meal. They need additional local beers. Salsa could use some help. Yeah.

    Blue margarita, reg marg, 2 shots of hornitos

    Update: 8/27/21 Finally made another trip in for lunch after 4 years - Salsa, much better than last time. Spicy but a little on the sauce side vs chunky. No complaints. Got a bean and cheese burrito with green chili and a beef taco, add guac and sour cream. My hubby and I were both satisfied! And the green Chile was spicy! Ordered a couple drinks, were not able to finish, so to-go cups were awesome! Price was a bit shocking still... but would return... when we get paid LOL

    Taco Salad

    Came in for lunch, ordered taco salad, a chicken quesadilla and mexi fries. Absolutely horrible this place needs help. I wouldn't recommend to my worst enemy. This is what a taco salad looks like here more like grease soup.

    Good food, but a little overpriced. Portion are not big. That's okay with me, but be aware.

    "Man, I wish these guys were near us (aka in Denver)."…read more Actual first words after his first bite. Mine were similar: "Omg, me too." Slow cooking. Be ready to wait a bit for your food. They are literally making it when you order. And they're using fresh ingredients. Don't believe me? You can watch them cook your order from our seats at the bar. So, yeah, I promise. Meanwhile, their chips and salsa will keep you busy (fresh, spicy and also one of my favs in a long while too). You can tell a lot by a place's salsa, IMO. The salsa here is house made, daily, I bet, which already tells you a lot. Made daily. Yum. Ok, literally my dude took two bites and made a wish that we could transported these folks to our neck of the woods. I was surprised really, until I had a bite of my spinach enchiladas. Fresh. Well seasoned. Cooked just right (aka, the spinach wasn't slimy, lol). Sooooo very good. Staff were amazing, laid back and super courteous. If we do nothing else when we pass through Gunnison, we will be stopping back by here!

    Noticeably unfriendly staff (almost like they have a reputation to uphold lol) and bruuuutally…read moreslow. As in, nobody even looked up or acknowledged the people at the "wait here to be seated" sign by the door for literally 10+ minute periods at a time, and we watched this happen multiple times to multiple groups. Once they, reluctantly, sat us at a table, it was 20 minutes until the next acknowledgement, then 20 minutes until the water and chips/salsa came. Then prob 40 minutes more for food. The food is the only bright spot, and you literally see the ladies making everything fresh to order. But it's not THAT good, not really worth the 2 hour experience unless you have nothing else to do. Would recommend this place only if you can catch it at a time with very few other customers, then they may be friendlier and less stressed and may be able to keep up with food and marg orders. I rarely write reviews but this was such an odd experience I had to share.

    Visiting the area and stopped in for dinner last night. It was super busy with the entire entry…read morearea full of people waiting. The host told us it would be a 45 minute wait. Obviously it looked popular, so we decided to wait. But within about 10 minutes the entire wait area had been seated, as were we. Great start! The staff was really moving fast - some practically running - to serve food and drinks. The chips were good, homemade salsa was awesome and plentiful - more was offered while we waited for our food to arrive. We had the chicken enchiladas favoritas, and a vegetarian combo. The food was delicious, and the atmosphere is fun and laid back. Staff were all very friendly and welcoming. We'll be returning soon!

    BLUF: very good food at reasonable price. Friendly servers…read more Went with a large group on a Wed night. I think we ordered literally everything on the menu, and to a person we liked what we received. One of the few places that makes a really good Horchata drink, so if you like those order one. It wasn't that lively in there, but it was a Wed so not a big night out for most people. Their steak meals were a clear standout - everyone liked everything, but those got raves. Also, bacon-wrapped shrimp were great - good sized and grilled so they still had a snap to them. The downsides: it took a long time for food to come out, although some of that probably can be attributed to us being a big group. That said, several waited for, and eventually had to ask for, the tortillas that went with their meals. Our servers spoke little english, so sometimes communications were difficult, but ALWAYS friendly. I would definitely go back.

    What a find! We were road tripping through the area on our way to Boulder and found this excellent…read morelittle local food truck. Everything was so fresh and tasty. Super friendly service and very accommodating for my no dairy requirements. I had the veggie burger, which was probably the best veggie burger I've ever had. This thing was so fresh tasting, there's no way it was prepared from being frozen. Full of quinoa, corn, etc. super duper delicious remoulade on a really good gourmet bun. Of course, I forgot to take a pic, but, I did manage to document my eating mates selections. See those pics - albeit, half eaten. Upgrade your order to the sweet potato tots, don't even hesitate, they're healthy and come with a mustard seed aioli sauce that makes the whole meal 360 degrees of scrumptiousness. I wish I had room in my pie hole for the donut ice cream sandwich - my only regret. Go off your intended route to try this place. McDonald's and Taco Bell don't need you. There's lovely tables and chairs under the trees that are clean and stocked with napkins and hand sanitizer. A really nice break in our trip!

    Great find! Stopped by here while camping in the area. I'm with my pups so an outdoor seating area…read moreat a food truck sounded perfect. They have a nice sized patio area with about 7 spaced out tables and a couple of chairs for the to go orders. There is a huge pine tree for shade as well. Simple menu written on a chalk board because it varies daily. The prices seem appropriate for a quality food truck and for the area as well. I was already debating the Philly or the shrimp poboy depending on what they had and it turned out to be the poboy. Order didn't take long and then my huge sandwich arrived. It came with a small bag of chips, but the sandwich itself is huge and loaded. The sandwich is on a soft hogie rather than the traditional french type of bread, but it's delicious and fresh . The shrimp (plump, perfectly cooked and plenty) is in a kind of dark cajun remoulade mixed with bacon and sauteed onions with multi colored bell peppers. Oh, and it has lettuce so you don't feel bad about eating it all in one sitting! :) Overall, I loved it! Bursting with flavor in every bite! Felt more like a Cajun shrimp Philly minus the cheese. Only if I was to be the one to name it of course! There is no such thing as a shrimp Philly though...yet! Oh, and ask for a fork or to have them cut it in half or you will be using way more napkins than necessary! ;-) Met Kevin, ones of the owners and he was very nice and easy to talk to. Nice place to stop if you are passing through or if you are a local, what are you waiting for!? Try them out before they go on their winter vacation! :) Or just make sure you try them out when you get a chance. They'll be back. I hope!
