    Al pastor taco is the way to go.
    Bro D.

    I didn't get a pic of my fresh PEACH marg but man oh man these al pastor taco were so flavorful. I certainly ruined my dinner for these. Also, Mario was great - host, bartender, server and owner - holy moly the service!!! This will 10000% be my summer stopping spot each year.

    I came here at the recommendation of my coach driver from Durango. He said he hadn't been here himself, but he heard lots of good things. I sat at the bar and had a great experience. Mario is one of the owners and he waited on me. The chips were huge and very good! I also enjoyed the meal and watermelon margaritas that I got. Yummy!

    The El pork pastor tacos are the best I've ever had in my life! They have amazing salsa and everything is made from scratch. This is my favorite restaurant in silverton by far. I was here a week and ate everywhere and wished I ate here every day. Mario is so personal and nice too! He had a palisade peach margarita special for the day and it was done better than anything in Palasade!

    Chips & Salsa - AMAZING!

    Some of the best food I've had this year. Service was fast and friendly. Servers were fluent in both English and Spanish. The tortillas are homemade and everything was cooked to perfection. Combining the altitude with one of their delicious cocktails can be a wild experience. Totally with the trip. The old west decor fit perfectly with the town.

    The food is so amazing, some of the best tacos we've ever had!! The rib eye tacos were our favorite and the burrito was great too! Highly recommend

    4.5/5. Tacos were decent, burrito was excellent!…read more The tortillas tasted great and homemade. My favorite taco was the vegetarian panela cheese taco (packed with flavor!), and least favorite was the chicken special taco...bummer since the chicken tacos were more expensive and only sold in sets of two. We loved the carnitas burrito and the flavor of the meat was excellent. Cute little truck tucked away within cute surroundings perfect for sitting back and relaxing (and maybe grabbing a beer!).

    Great easy-going and an expensive place to grab street tacos. Went here for lunch with my parents…read morewhile visiting Durango and we stop by Lola's place and while we were there, I was able to get a Beer from what seems like the main building and then I was able to go down and grab some tacos from Cuevas - it was fast, super reasonably priced - The lady at the front was nice and my food was great. It was a wonderful atmosphere gorgeous day. What was interesting is there wasn't a lot of people there and I don't think I got a number or anything and she was just like I'll bring it to you and the English was a little bit broken and I thought I miss heard but she insisted that she would bring it out and coming from major cities typically you have a number or a buzzer or something And I didn't get anything so I had no idea what they said wasn't going to come or not and lo and behold about five minutes later she pops up and it's perfect.... It was really nice to slow down and remember that society functions just fine without 1 million gadgets. and that if people say they got you they got you and Durango is one of those towns where they got you
