Come hungry!!! This is the best fast food style Mexican food I have ever eaten. We ordered for a late lunch and I was full until the next afternoon. The choices are plentiful. There are several options for your tortillas too. I had the grilled shrimp burrito. Who would have ever thought that garlic shrimp would be so good in a burrito but it is AMAZING!!!! The nachos are totally worth every penny to order. They are warm and lightly seasoned and the guacamole is an added bonus. If you are in the area and want a wonderful, reasonably priced meal then Chimayo is a must for anyone that loves Mexican food. read more

My daughter got married last weekend, and she wanted a laid back dinner at our home the prior night. We planned about 10 guests, but cooking was overly ambitious, so we checked with Chimayo on catering options. They nailed it. We had an assortment of burritos cut in half, a chip/guacamole/salsa bar, and Chile rellanos with tomatillo sauce. Everything was clearly labeled and presented neatly. All good was ready and hot when we picked it up, and it was a crowd pleaser. Communication and payment online was super clear and easy. Do this. read more

I haven't never dealt with the rudest customer service in a restaurant before this. Unbelievably rude service from the person who takes your order, to the person who makes your tacos, and to the rudest bitch who checks you out. Here are three more reviewers who also think this place has the worst costumer service ever! read more

Chimayo Grill - Mexican Near Me - Dillon, Colorado

To be fair, this is a solid 3.5 review. And here are the reasons why: Yelp absolutely loves this place, so I had to make the stop on our way home from a nice hike near Breckenridge. The line was out the door when we came - always a sign of some good food. So the line was long, no biggie. I don't mind waiting if my food prize at the end of it is worth it. But let me tell you, this line moved soooooooo slow. We were in that middle foyer area for QUITE some time. Do restaurants have foyers? You know the little space between two doors that they have in some restaurants? That place. I would say a good 20 to 30 minutes in line and though the line was actually out the door, it really wasn't that long overall. Anyway, line aside, I ordered the Baja Fish tacos (the menu says Best Seller, so I had to). One order comes with 3 and I got mine on corn tortillas with lettuce, pico de gallo, corn salsa, cheese, cilantro and some Chimayo sauce (a creamy chipotle sauce). The fish was fried fresh - hand breaded Allaskan Pollock. This plate looked absolutely phenomenal, but man I just didn't love it. It was fine - no complaints, but the fish wasn't as crispy as I thought it would be ( I get it, it was covered in sauce and a million other things, but even the parts that weren't were just not that crisp). I also really wanted more from this Chimayo sauce - more kick perhaps? Hmm, just something. The tacos overall were fine, but nothing I would ever drive two hours away for. The bf ordered their Carnitas burrito chimichanga style. This was huge and he packed it with all the fixins possible and then smothered it in green chili. Fried crisp and he liked this okay, but again, nothing that even attempted to blow our minds. The carnitas looked so flavorful and it was good, but was just lacking something. Forever a chimichanga fan, he liked it, but again, nothing to write home about (just Yelp). Not a bad place by any means, there was a tv or two inside, so come in for some Mexican food in the mountains and watch some football. I'm sure good seafood is hard to come by up there, so I definitely get the hype. My favorite part of this meal was for sure the chips with queso, salsa, and guac - get all three, even that salsa is pretty yummy. read more

Just tried this place for the first time. I will definitely be going back! I had the shrimp burrito and they cooked the shrimp fresh and the seasoning was awesome. Restaurant was clean and Ladies room was clean too. read more

Flavorless version of Chipotle, with fewer options. The reviews are rediculous to give this place anything beyond 2 stars. With such high reviews we thought it might be a better version of Chipotle... but not even close. I suspect this is where the high school kids go for filling up but not good for anything else. read more

Just had the taco salad and fish tacos!!! Best Mexican food in the area! Can't wait to comeback

I got the grilled fish burrito and it was so yummy. The fish was garlic seasoned and I had the Chimayo sauce with jalapeños and cilantro among other things and it was just so good. I'll be going back again soon! read more

Chimayo - oh my o delicious! Must go. Simple delicious fresh flavorful healthy food. Hard working staff that does it right. High top tables and 2 low . It just seems to fit with enough feeling of comfort. read more

We stopped here on our way home from a long Colorado weekend. The atmosphere is cool: a more edgy Chipotle operation (I only make the comparison because 90% of people would). I got the fish burrito and honestly was a little dissatisfied. The fish by itself was good and the corn salsa was good (but not as good as chipotles) but over all I felt like my burrito was less than outstanding and the ingredients were not as fresh as I'd like. read more

Always good, been coming here for 10 years. New location is just as good! Try the Chile Relleno burrito for a change up or if you are starving! It's huge. read more

Had the fish taco's after a day of skiing and they were delicious! Huge portions for a really good price and lots of topping options. Tye next day I had the Steak fajitas tacos and they were delicious and generously portioned as well. read more

Yes yes yes. My favorite place to grab a burrito! The chili relleno is perfection. I've managed to beat the crowd, but this place is notorious for having a line out the door (worth the hype). read more

There is a sign about the best fish tacos in Dillion. I love fish tacos and this is not the best even in town. Suggestion cook with spices. Fish and chicken have no flavor read more

I have no idea why this restaurant has been named one of the best 11 Colorado restaurants outside of Denver. To me, it was a much, much lesser version of Chipotle. It's an order at the counter restaurant. Your order is passed down the counter and you select your toppings with the counter staff. This specific counter-staff (during lunchtime on a Thursday afternoon) was not friendly. All of them appeared to dislike life at that very moment (perhaps they just received some bad news or just finished up a large lunch crowd?) I ordered the Veggie Fajita (soft) tacos & my husband ordered the chicken burrito & chips/salsa. The tacos came as a set of 3. They did allow me to modify from flour to corn tacos. The veggie fajita, a mixed of bell peppers & onion was less than room temperature and flavorless-same with the rice. My husbands burrito was large & filled with chicken, black beans, cheese, & corn (& some other goodies). When I asked him about his burrito he described the burrito as "basic". The salsa however was excellent & was served in 2 options- a spicy paste like option & a chunky pico de Gallo. Both salsas were excellent. The chips could have been excellent had they not been Disgustingly salty. They serve Pepsi products/foundation drinks but also provided the option for a bottled coke, etc. The restaurant appeared to be clean. Overall, I enjoyed very little, if anything about this restaurant experience & food. I do not recommend it and will not return. read more

Food was amazing! It's kinda set up like a chipotle or something similar, but much better food. The spicy stuff was defiantly more on the legit spicy side, but I really enjoyed it still. I got chicken tacos on corn. read more

Chimayo Grill - two tacos on a plate - Mexican Near Me - Dillon, Colorado

wow! long wait but super good fish taco salad. Highly recommend you try it. Next time will try the chimmy.

Best Mexican in Summit county. Bold claim but the service and flavors are top notch. You could get Chipotle down the street. Some burrito at the Keystone area. Look no further than Chimayo in terms of quality and cost. Burritos. Tacos. Cerveza. The staples but it's all done so well and in a chill environment. Minimal lines, great amount of seating inside, fast from ordering to payment. I don't taste that copy and pasted generic "Mexican" experience. The staff is friendly and happy. Fish options galore. They make more chicken or beef when it's needed, not just topping off the same old container in a warmer all day. Big plus! I'm a veggie, but it all just tastes better. Not the same generic and pepper mix Qdoba has. Chipotle recently added the sofritas but I'm actually stoked to get veggies as my "protein" here. Bottled and draft beer. Jarritos. Frozen Margaritas too. Even a separate gluten free menu. It's pretty great to grab a fat burrito after a long day of riding or snowboarding. Come in and give it a shot the next time you are in the area. The local mom and pop vibe and the excellent food will make you a regular! read more

My favorite MexAmerica spot. Tortilla chips to tacos to nachos you cannot miss. Staff is wonderful, bilingual, and the food speaks for itself! And it's in Summit County, so win, win, win!!! read more

Came after a day of hiking (and getting lost while hiking). Shortly after lunch, and the place was packed! Very popular and for very good reason. Gave off vibes of a fish taco place you would find on the west coast, and the employees gave off the famous care-free vibe you would find on the west coast. Food takes a little while, which makes the whole walk-up counter, a little confusing. Lots of waiting for the person to get their fish cook so you are just staring at whatever you eat on the counter wishing you could eat now. Side note - the frozen marg here is amazing! A perfect treat with the food, and a perfect treat after hiking 10 miles. read more

I had this place a year ago and still think about how good it was. Best Mexican food I've ever had

Best shrimp tacos I've had in a long time. The wait wasn't too long and the employees were super helpful!

Not sure why this place isn't rated higher. I visit chipotle frequently in my hometown and Chimayo blows them way out of the water. The guacamole and salsas are spectacular, the portions of meat are larger, and the baja fish tacos I had were very fresh and made to order. Skip the chipotle line and visit Chimayo! read more

Chimayo Grill - Restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Dillon, Colorado

I have been here a few times now and today was very disappointing and offensive. I ordered first with the woman at the cashier 1 shrimp taco and a quesadilla. Then I moved down the counter to tell the woman making my taco what I'd like in it (you tell them what you want) The latina woman who was making them asked me a question I couldn't understand, but I also noticed she also had 3 taco shells in front of her so I said "Oh I only ordered 1 taco..." She acted like I had insulted HER, rolled her eyes, acted dramatic as heck and actually pushed my tacos back to the cashier and walked away. I was really embarrassed not knowing what I had done to warrant her behavior. Plus she just refused to make my food and I was just standing there super confused like what just happened??! The cashier then told me I couldn't get just 1 shrimp taco (Ok, but when I first ordered it the cashier should have told me that). I was talked to like I should have known this and the woman making the food at the counter was extremely rude and didn't even try to communicate with me. Also why couldn't she just have tossed the 2 shells and made 1 taco??? The cashier had to tell her to come back and make my 1 taco which she did with full annoyance and hostility. I couldn't believe the attitude. I will not be returning because I can't support a business that treats customers like how I was treated. Reading other reviews, others have also been offended by similar hostility. Think about the people you choose to give your money too...this restaurant does not deserve your money until they take responsibility for the numerous offensive acts towards customers. And if it's just this one woman I dealt with, she most certainly does not deserve a job here. You shouldn't be allowed to treat people like that and still have a job. read more

Poor quality food, very poor customer service, extremely long wait, very disorganized, you can get better quality food and a better customer service experience going to Taco Bell. My son found a hair in his burrito. read more

Chimayo is always worth the stop on the way back to Denver from the mountains. Food is tasty and reasonably priced and the portions are super generous. I tried the stuffed relleno burrito yesterday and it was awesome! Despite some of the other reviews, I have never had an issue with rudeness or attitude from the staff- I feel like the folks there are happy to be there and happy to make you a tasty meal! read more

An oasis of smackdown great Mexican food off the highway. After leaving Aspen & on way to Denver airport, my amazing fiancé found this on yelp. Glad he did too. We over ordered of course! Killer queso, great chips & THREE shrimp tacos to an order. I asked for another type of salsa since I am not a big fan of chunky salsa. They gave me a big cup - so nice. Fiance Had fish tacos & chile relleno. Great frozen Marg too. Come to DC please!!! read more

Chimayo Grill - Just some of our great food at lunch. - Mexican Near Me - Dillon, Colorado

If I could give this place a 0 I would. The food maybe gets a 3. It's not life changing by any means, but the service was out of this world horrible. Everyone was rude. Literally 5 people working and none of them were nice. Fine you had a bad day it happens to all of us, but they also proceeded to mess up all 3 of our orders. They put the wrong protein on all our bowls. Most places would start again from scract but not this place! They just growled at us. Expected us to pay for their mistakes and told us to figure our shit out. Thankful they caved and decided to fix our order, except their did so in the worst way. They just picked up the fish. Wiped off the sauce with their gloves. It didn't even get all the sauce off and they broke each and every fish. Amazing service! They also close promptly at 8. Even if you are the only person in line at 8 they will turn you away. read more

My favorite place to eat in Dillon on the way to and from the mountains. Don't let the often long line deter you from stopping in. I recommend the Grilled Shrimp Tacos. I get them Cajun, but the other option is Garlic Seasoned which also sounds sublime. Among the many taco toppings, I love the Chimayo sauce -- think Chipotle Mayo. My fiancé also loves the burritos. He always comments on how they massage the toppings into the burrito so every bite is equal. YUM! read more

Chimayo Grill - Best place to stop after skiing! - Mexican Near Me - Dillon, Colorado

It's fish tacos Qdoba / Chipotle style. But oh so much better! I had the Baja fish tacos with many trimmings and I just couldn't resist a chile relleno. Everything was fresh and tasty. The local staff was friendly even joking with my 5 year old grandson. -1 star for the relleno it was good, just a little too much breading. More like a popper. I can't believe that it took me so long to try them. It will definitely become a go to for a quick quality meal when we are in Summit County. read more

Fairly decent food but one of the servers treated you like a child. If you didn't choose your condiments quick enough or couldn't decide fast, she was pretty growly. The seating and atmosphere were mediocre at best but, hey, it's fast food. The only thing saving this place is the food, it's good but everything else doesn't equate to a great dining experience. A rating of 5 stars would be generous. Wait time was 30-45 minutes for fast food. read more

In the Dillon/Silverthorne area there is a Chipotle and a Qdoba. Both are fine fast casual Mexican food options. But whenever I'm town I come to Chimayo simply because it's better. Far and away better, actually. The fish tacos are incredible. Chimayo is comparably priced but you get so much more value. It should be your default option for Mexican in Summit County. read more

This place was a absolute gem, my girlfriend loved the shrimp tacos & fish burritos. My steak burrito was delicious you could taste how fresh all the ingredients were. We also got the nachos & let me just say if they bottled the queso dip good lord could them make a killing, it was absolutely delicious. I wished I had asked for it in my burrito. The food was great & fresh and at a very reasonable price! This place is a must visit, we'll definitely be back when we come back to Silver Thorne read more
