Bar area

We walked in for lunch and what a great treat. Food was fresh and service on point the entire time. The ambiance is cool and tucked in on an upper level overlooking a beautiful running creek area. I would imagine the outside patio is stunning on a sunny warmer day. Add this to you dining experience next time in Vail - be sure to see my photos for what o recommend to order ! Thanks for checking out my review.

Fish taco and Carne asada(back)

Delicious food, great service and wonderful views on the patio. Great Mexican food in Vail

My street corn salad was fresh and tasty. Chicken tortillas were good. I enjoyed the decor. We sat outside with heaters and a flowing stream. Service was fine.

Baja taco
Maggie L.

taco salad very generous. Baja fish was a little skimpy for nine dollars. Had to go find our server to ask for another glass of wine. forgot to say that they had some of the best french fries I've ever eaten.

Al pastor taco and Grapefruit Jarritos
Haley R.

Almost every time we visit Vail, we make a stop at El Segundo. Fresh guac, good salsa and delicious queso with perfectly seasoned chips. Good drink variety and Jarritos for the non alcoholic drink lover. I love their tacos and my wife loves their bowls. We love the dog friendly patio, excellent customer service and the food.

Service was great! We walked in without a reservation and the wait was 40min. However, the ladies at the counter got creative made a nice table for 2 which we really appreciated. Nachos were good. My only issue is that they come on a tray with paper so it's hard to peel them up and not eat some paper. We also ordered the fajitas with steak. Honestly/ the steak was overcooked and tough. Prob not something I'd get again. Generally good place. Nice decor, good vibe, good drinks, good for apps (small bites). Next time I'll try a taco.

Front to back: Salsa, coleslaw and vegetarian tacos

Stopped here for a quick bite and loved the burst of flavor in their vegetarian cauliflower tacos! The salsa was fresh and chips crispy. Ambiance was great as it right over the scenic stream. Would 100% recommend!

The bar

We were lucky to get a seat by the bar. Place is busy. There's happy hour after 9pm I think. The food cane in pretty fast. I love the T shirt the bartender was wearing. "Tell me I'm pretty" live that!

Variety of tacos
Melissa A.

I went to El Segundo with a big group and we were seated in the back room at a long table. It was really nice to have our own separate space. However, we had to meet a bill minimum and thus ended up having to order a lot more drinks than we were intending to order. The tacos were quite good, but $9 per taco is pretty steep. This restaurant was very accommodating for a big group, but not sure I would go back for dinner in the future given the resort town prices.

Korean BBQ Taco & Shrimp Mango Taco
Bri M.

Was in Vail with my best friend and we stumbled upon this spot on a quiet Sunday. Night. The food was awesome. I highly recommend the Korean BBQ taco. Chips and salsa were stellar too. Service was super friendly, super quick, and super awesome! Great recommendations, and they checked on us regularly! Loved the ambiance- right on the water. Plenty of outdoor seating. Really was an awesome experience! The only downside was when we paid- the tip section did not offer a 20% - they only offered 23% and higher! I suppose it is Vail. Anywho- that was the only negative!

One of two tacos I ordered. Mahi-mahi tacos. YUM

The food was cold, the service was super slow. They overcharged us when we got our bill $300 bill. Definitely a disappointment for Vail.

What a fun fun fun cocktail bar! We were up in Vail for a wedding weekend with friends, and…read morestumbled upon this cocktail bar after the rehearsal dinner. It was pretty quiet (still off-season), and my husband and I were the only ones there when we walked in around 10. We sat at the bar and had a lovely conversation with Jeremy; I ordered the Gingerbread Man (take on an old fashioned with brown butter washed bourbon, and my husband got the "50 Shades of Green" - definitely one of the most unique cocktails we've ever tried! The description "arugula infused gin, yogurt washed aquavit with Pandan herbs & lime" - it had everything - some sour, some umami, some sweet from the Pandan - what a fun and unique cocktail. Shortly after we walked in, a huge group of 10-12 women walked in followed by some other groups shortly after them. It was a really fun atmosphere and both cocktails were 10/10.

For the second half of our girls night, my friend picked Root & Flower. The atmosphere is…read morebeautifully elevated, making it the perfect sophisticated spot to continue a long conversation. Price: Expect standard Vail pricing for high-end cocktails, with most drinks ranging between $16-$20. Customer Service: The service was fantastic. The staff was incredibly kind and efficient; even though we stayed for quite a while to catch up, we felt welcomed and well-attended to the entire night. Atmosphere This spot has a cool, welcoming vibe that feels very safe. It's the kind of environment where you can really settle in and enjoy the company you're with. The Drinks I ordered the Sangre del Sol. The flavor was amazing, though be warned it is very strong! It's an excellent choice if you enjoy a cocktail with a serious kick, but I ended up letting my friend finish mine after a few sips. Overall Experience I highly recommend Root & Flower for a beautiful setting and top-tier service. Pro Tip: A huge bonus for this location is the parking! You can park for free after 3 PM at the S. Frontage Rd. East garage right nearby. I'll definitely be back!

For reference my 5 star experience was in the gondola. Highly recommend doing this though while in…read moreVail! Definitely felt like I was back in a Switzerland ski town! The gondola is cool because we had our own speak to play whatever we pleased! It felt very private and intimate which I really enjoyed. I loved the decor throughout the restaurant and our gondola had cute little touches as well. For example they had a coo coo clock that when off every hour. For drinks I tried their feuerzangenbowle and the muled wine. My husband got a Hugo spritz and jagertee. I loved my drinks the feuerzangenbowle uses flambé which was so cool!, it's pretty similar to the muled wine. Muled wine is always a favorite of mine when the weather gets cold! Our server was awesome and super attentive. He answered any questions we had and was very friendly. The gondolas have a set menu we ended up ordering more that was on the set menu since I wanted fondue and my husband wanted the raclette. We added on a fondue, ordered the raclette that came on our fixed menu and added on steak, along with the pretzel that comes as an appetizer. The food was really good, I think it is also just so cozy and suiting for the cold weather! Fondue and raclette are also just such a fun way to dine! Highly recommend and definitely will be back just to try the standard experience too without the gondola.

Server Diego was great! Kind of tight seating on the patio but we loved it. Alpenrose Pilsner in…read morethe big mug was perfect for our meal. The feuerzangenbowle is a fun, warm drink with mulled wine and they will light the rum-soaked sugar cube. Slightly limited on options if you don't eat pork but you will find something like the salad with chicken schnitzel to get your schnitzel fix. The spätzle that came with the pork schnitzel was amazing. This was a fun place to come and on our next trip to Vail would like to try the apple strudel dessert that I did not have room for this time.
