The carnitas are not traditional, they fry some thin pork chops and call it carnitas.

Ordered the Griego's Special and it was delicious! Smothered with Green Chili! Yummy! read more

We meet friends here every Friday night. Great food, especially the green chili. Try one of the smothered burritos. Wonderful staff. It's no wonder they have been in business for over 50 years. They have a very loyal following among locals. I know people who go there almost every day for lunch. Don't expect fancy. OH, don't miss the sopapillas. read more

Great home made food! Good home town friendly service! We go everytime we are in the area.

Excellent food, excellent service and nice environment for eating though sometimes a little rushed at lunch particularly when lots of people want in. Worth the wait read more

My burger was not done and my chicken nuggets were burnt. The food could of been better read more

This mexican food is absolutely worth dying for. I'm from Arizona but always stop at Griego's whenever I'm in Durango. The green chiles are always phenomenal and I usually order some a la carte tacos as well! Service is always fine and quick. read more

Really awful Mexican food. I've lived in Colorado, New Mexico and Texas and haven't had anything this bad. The bowl of chili with beef had no beef in it. It was as though they opened a can of green chili and added water for soup like consistency. The sopapilla was the only good thing we tried. They don't accept cards and didn't let us know until we were ready to pay. There is an ATM in the restaurant with a camera pointing down over it. I don't recommend this restaurant at all. read more

Gimme my Chile rellano and sopapillas with Honeyville honey and Kimi is a happy girl. First stop for us "kids" who grew up in Durango.

Absolute best deal in the whole country... Homemade fresh Green chili meat and bean burrito and A homemade green chili cheese enchilada and my bill was $6.50... They probably haven't raised their prices in 20 years ....it's all the family working in there and everything homemade... Best local secret read more

A pretty good meal. In a multiple generational family restaurant. Seem like Griegos has been a fixture in Durango forever. I got a platter with a variety of food on it. The green chilli that my burrito came smothered in was a medium hotness and tasty. The pork red chilli tamale was spicy and very good. If you like hot food the tamales are the best choice. Probably one of the better tamales in Durango. The taco was bland and ordinary. Not spicy at all so if you are afraid of seasoning, or spicy food get the ground beef taco I promise it will be mild enough for anyone. And I have to say they were very wise to put my taco on a side plate so it wouldn't get soggy from my beans or chilli sauce, so smart! They probably have something for everyone even sporting a burger selection for those family members who don't like Mexican food. read more

This is a definite go to! Their green chile is yummy. Service is exceptional. My only issue is they only accept cash. But I get it.

Came back after 10 years to Griego's and still the same yummy food. Love the enchiladas and tacos and needed my Durango fix. It's your basic real Mexican cuisine south of the border family operated business with great food at an affordable price. Thanks for wonderful visit, Adios until another time... read more

I have not had a green chile smothered bean burrito from Griego's since like 2013., but I dream about them and try to make my own. I ate one a week for the ten years I lived there. If you like your abuela's homemade, whole-bean burritos, this is the closest thing to homemade authentic Southwestern or Northern New Mexico home style cooking you can find. Thank you Greigos read more

Just ate there yesterday. One of my families favorite restaurants of all times. We love the sopapillas, french fries, all of the Mexican food, and the chips and salsa are to die for. Highly recommend. The salsa/pico de gallo could be the best I've ever had. The owner is very sweet. read more

They do not take credit or debit cards, and made us seat ourselves! Very rude customer service, ashame I couldn't pay for any food. You shouldn't have take cash out to dine!!! Ridiculous read more

$25 for three small burritos and chips with salsa. Tasted like the old days of Mexican food coming to america...crap. read more

I've been eating here for at least thirty years. I don't live in Durango any more, but whenever we are in Southern Colorado we have to stop in and get the tacos and sopaipillas. This family owned and operated restaurant has been in operation for over 50 years. Definitely a Durango icon and worth the stop. read more

run by a Hispanic family that has lived for generations in Colorado. The grandmother is often cooking in the back. It is just a little down-home place with no pretensions where many of the old-time locals go. Your idea of 'hot' may be different from mine. I grew up on New Mexican food. The smothered burrito is the standard go-to for all of our family. The green chili is 'zesty' without burning your mouth off. Great hot sauce. Best sopapillas in town. read more

The worse Mexican food ever! Not worth trying. Rude waitress and they charge for everything. No complimentary chips n salsa.

This used to be a staple when I went to Durango High School, but now I wouldn't go to Griego's even if someone paid me. The only good things that you can really get here are the bean and cheese burritos, the crispy fries, chips and salsa, and the sopapillas with honey. I wouldn't really recommend getting anything else. It's fast and cheap and pretty much caters to hungry teenagers, so don't come here expecting anything amazing. read more

I'm not gonna lie, I most likely would've never stepped foot in this place if it weren't for the party I was with. My best friend and college roommate is a Durango native and would not stop talking about this place and so one afternoon we sat down here with his two sisters. I don't want to sound unappreciative, but I just couldn't understand what he liked about this place. I mean I know my taste-buds may be completely biased when it comes to Mexican food 'since I grew up in Southern California.... but I just couldn't put two and two together. The group I was with would tell me stories about how they would come here almost daily when they went to the local high school, and I just nodded my head with confusion growing inside my brain. The food isn't necessarily awful, but I feel like it's just frozen microwavable burritos with a green chili sauce on top. The fries were also typical fast-food/freezer section fries, and the sauce was just okay. The only saving grace was their Sopaipilla and looked like the only truly fresh thing on the table. It's a dessert though, so that didn't really help out my hunger. The service was friendly and attentive, but with a dining room with a capacity of about 35, that's not really that difficult. The decor looks like it hadn't been updated 'since 1976, and the general impression of the restaurant left me feeling dirty and generally unimpressed. It's definitely not the worst Mexican restaurant I've been to, but it's got a lot of work to do before I'd recommend this place. read more

Avoid this family run Mexican food joint because there are so many other options. Don't waste your time or money. Horrible, inattentive and depressing service from a family member who can't get fired combined with lousy food made this a bad experience. We should have walked out after sitting down. It's located in an old A & W Rootbeer joint on 26th and Main. Some Grizzly Adams local told us about it and how he craves the food. He may crave it, but I would take anything else even taco bell. Your choices are beans or meat on everything, that's it. No chicken at all unless you want it fried. The tamale was dried out and nasty, taco was super small and standard. The burgers were not good either. The burritos come either covered in green chile sauce or dry and the sauce had ground beef. All locals here seemed to know everyone else. Maybe in it's heyday it was sort of OK but just plain sucked today. read more

I used to like coming here. Never again. I went in and ordered bean and cheese burritos smothered in green chili. I thought I asked for veggie green chili, but turned out I had not. Instead of doing what any normal place Would have done, and just made me another one. They decided to charge me again. This I've never heard of. An honest mistake, whether made by the customer or restaurant you don't charge again for. Its not like the tortillas, cheese and beans are expensive and they're really loosing money! The lady rudely said, since it was my mistake, they will charge. Not to mention the prices are expensive for what u get. I ended up paying 30 dollars just for 3 burritos!! Their customer service skills are slim to none at best. Sorry griegos, you lost another local customer. read more

Most likely the worst Mexican food I've ever had in my life. Nothing special as far as decor, no biggie, however 3.50 for chips and salsa and the salsa was La Victoria and the chips were just hard and cheap. I ordered the enchilada plate thinking this couldn't get messed up, but I was wrong. No meat, it claims ground beef, and a dollar more for extra meat. It was completely cold. The cheese wasnt even melted. No beans, no rice. NOTHING. My husband seemed to like his smothered burrito, but even that looked unappealing. The green Chile was ok, hot but no real flavor. So disappointed. read more

This is not authentic Mexican food. People here complaining but I'm pretty sure it doesn't even say Mexican on the sign. This is Southwestern food. Every town within a five hour drive has it's own "Griego's". Bomb ass green chile and basic ass diner service. What do you expect when the burrito is $3? Take your ass to Taco Bell, if you aren't from here, you will never get it... but if you are, then MAIL ME SOME COMBO BURRITOS!!!!! read more

Dont waste your time, or your money. Took my family there while on a short trip to durango. You have to pay extra for the chips and salsa, and then its gross.. Chips taste like the cheapest store bought chips you can get, and the salsa just really sucked...food comes and it looks like we bought a la carte items, (which we didnt) like barely any food on the plate. Had to take the kids to get taco bell after already spending way too much at this place. Never again! read more

Been going here for at least 30 years. The food is awesome. Love their Sopapillas and their Smoothed burritos. The green chili is hot and full of flavor. The people are very friendly. The only thing is they close for a huge chunk of Christmas break and now they close early on Saturdays. read more

This is probably the worst "Mexican restaurant" in Durango. Your better off going to Taco Bell, and the Taco Bell here sucks as well. My partner and I ate here and absolutely hated it. Their tacos are the size of an original iPod, their staff was awful, and it was 11 dollars per plate for what was essentially cafeteria food.... My partner asked for a water and got a tea from our waitress, I ordered the fajita plate which was basically jerky topped with bell peppers and onions, and the rice was mushy and the beans were probably from a can. They charged for chips and salsa most Mexican food restaurants don't do, but ohhhhh well. I wouldn't eat here ever again even if I was drunk. If I could give this place a negative rating I would. read more

My parents live in Durango and this is their favorite place for Mexican food as they're from NM. When I visited with my daughter we ate here on our last day and it was super delicious. The chips leave something to be desired which is a bummer as it's the first thing I judge a place on. We ordered bean burritos and my dad had the Indian Fry bread which was super delicious. Definitely a good place to stop in if you're missing new Mexican cuisine. I also appreciate that they have vegetarian red and green chile! read more

awful enchiladas waitress ran away mid way through taking our order, gave us our check before we even got our food when we wanted other things, didn't once check on us, when we went to pay rudely told us they don't take card... not to mention the bathroom is right next to the kitchen read more

Man, some of these people have tastebuds that I don't think will ever be pleased. This restaurant is one of the high points in my life in Durango, I live in Az occasionally through the year and the cravings for this place will practically wake me up at night. The half smothered burrito is what I beg my visiting family members to bring home for me when I am in Az, and I plan my trips out of town around when I know Griegos will be open for lunch. I think the decor is part of it's charm. I am a fan of the older styles of things, and not everything has to be the cold, franchised, cookie cutter look of today. It looks like it's out of the 70's? Great. All the more reason for me to enjoy eating in my favorite restaurant that hasn't changed. Griegos, keep on making that good green chile. (Just keep telling me how you always do if the 'green' is pretty hot today or if it's safe for out of towners!) read more

Locals' favorite...there is just nothing like a Griego's taco, a combo burrito, or posole with green chile. Bring cash or a local check, or you can used your debit card with their ATM at the entrance. Hands down our forever favorite authentic Mexican food restaurant in Durango. read more

I think its an unspoken rule that you only like Griego's if you grew up going there. But I did so I love it. Even now that I live states away, I make sure to buy and freeze a dozen or so Combo Burritos to bring back to SF with me. read more

Ok, I'm biased. I lived in Durango as a kid and spent most of my summers here, meaning I've been eating at Griegos much of my life; but, Best Green Chili Pork Burrito ever! This is always my first stop in town. read more

First stop when we visit home. Green chili is delicious! Get a smothered burrito. Locals eat here!

Not what I remember. I moved from Durango about 8 years ago, but used to eat here often prior to that. The food wasn't as good, and you have to order chips and salsa. They only take cash and local checks. read more

Located on north Main Avenue across from the Durango Community Recreation Center, this is a small locally owned traditional Mexican Cuisine restaurant. Parking is under an awning structure like an old time coke and burger shop. The dining is inside. Meals are typical burrito, enchilada and verde selections. The prices are very reasonable and quite a few locals were there. A good sign in my book. Oh yes, it is cash only. read more
