    We stopped by to grab a quick eat after a long hike and strolling around the town. You order at the counter and they bring your items to your table. Our server was quick and polite. Prices were reasonable considering the area $$$. Food was surprisingly good and fresh. My friend ordered an enchilada (really good) and I ordered the appetizers taquitos (plenty).

    We were hungry looking for a bite to eat and came upon this place. Food: lacked flavor and underwhelming Mexican food I've ever had Service: it's an order, pay and then be served location. Ambiance: it's meh. Nothing crazy Expensive for what it is and wouldn't come back on my own choice.

    Small vegan plate. Yes, small.

    Being from NM you'd think I'd be critical of "Mexican" food elsewhere; especially in a resort town. Well . . . I am. And, at La Cocina de Luz I was skeptical. . . but my lunch was perfect. Small vegan plate. Not too small . . . I couldn't finish it all. Pintos were done just right. Rice was different, but very good. Love the guacamole. Etc. Could find absolutely nothing to complain about . . . even from the land of good New Mexican food. The service was friendly, fast and professional. Thank you La Cocina de Luz. I'm FULL!

    The day's special.

    Our first trip to Telluride and what a way to start. La Cocina de Luz is a must try if visiting Telluride. We were greeted by someone from their very friendly staff and were seated immediately. Free chips and two types of salsa were brought to the table. The salsa was fresh and delicious. My wife ordered quesadillas and they covered the entire plate. I ordered the special of the day which was a pan seared rainbow trout with quajillo peppers and garlic. Holy cow it was amazing. Everything tasted so fresh. If you see it offered you HAVE to get it. It was also nice to have several of the employees come by our table to see if we were enjoying our meal. We assumed it was the owner and the chef. 5*'s for La Cocina de Luz!

    Quesadilla and Chips&Guac in the back

    Came here on a weekend night and there was a short wait. There is seating in the back in addition to limited seating in the main dining area. The menu is average sized and has a good number of options. The horchata was grainy but flavorful. The chicken quesadilla was good with loads of meat. It was soft and juicy. However, the juices soak the bottom of the quesadilla which make it soggy. Overall, not a bad Mexican option here in town. Good to try if you're craving Mexican food.

    Telluride prices for flavorless tacos. Good to stop in when you don't have another choice and looking to get something quick.
