A fun and vibrant Mexican restaurant right in town. The tacos and margaritas were excellent and everything tasted fresh. Service was friendly and upbeat, and the staff kept things moving even during a busy dinner rush. Great spot for a lively night out. read more

Upstairs from the plaza. Staff is friendly and there are plenty of tables of all sizes here. They have a bar area and smaller tables as well. Recommend reservations. Staff was very friendly, fast and efficient. Their menu is large but we had the steak fajitas which was one of the best I've had. Tons of cheese and onions on the sizzling cast iron as well. The sour cream, lettuce, beans, tomatoes, rice were pretty average but plentiful. Overall, a great place to share fajitas and would come back to try other things on their menu. read more

Las Montañas - Steak fajitas - Mexican Near Me - Aspen, Colorado

My husband checked in with a nice gentleman and got a table letting him know we had a service dog and asked that we sit outside to avoid disrupting guests. He said yes and got us a table outside without hesitation. Next thing I know before I even had a chance to sit a manager (so she claimed), a red headed lady came out of no where getting in my face and causing a SCENE in the entire patio asking what service my dog performs for me and what's wrong with me to the point the entire patio heard my disability that I didn't even need to answer. She made me repeat it twice then came back confronting my husband after overhearing that we didn't like how she handled it. My husband and I left shortly after due to me being completely shaken up by the disrespect and humiliation from the scene THEIR employee caused. We will never return to this restaurant because of this person alone. I recommend casa Tua, Clark's, Betula, meat and cheese, White House tavern and many other restaurants in Aspen that have treated me and my dog with respect without inquiring about my health and condition. read more

We sat outside overlooking the mountains and while we were there, we experience sunny weather, rain and slight hail, lol. Luckily it wasn't so bad because we were under the umbrellas. - loved the ambiance. The food was amazing, I highly recommend the shrimp tacos made with homemade corn tortillas. The service was great very attentive. Will definitely return. read more

In between our walks through downtown Aspen, waiting for our dinner reservation, we came upon a beautiful, Mexican restaurant with an outdoor patio. The weather here is amazing/ as it is the beginning of July, I can see the mountains of Aspen from where I am sitting. We usually never make happy hour but it is happy right now, and it's from 3 to 6!! So, my classic margarita is on happy hour!!! Amazing!! They brought complimentary chips with salsa and Verde dips/ but we ale ordered guacamole and queso because we love that. All of our servers have been amazing, the scene is beautiful, it's open and clear- amazing views. I would definitely stop here on my next trip. read more

Nice atmosphere right in the heart of Aspen. The margaritas and Palomas were overpriced as were the dishes. The four of us each got the four different enchiladas and they were all average. We like spicy but these dishes were more spicy than average. It is better to allow the diner to add condiments to increase level of spicy rather than have the food be almost inedible because of the heat. Also we were seated at a large rectangular table which took away from the intimate dinner. Couldn't hear each other very well because the noise level was high. read more

Popped in here after a little shopping in downtown Aspen. Thirsty and a little hungry, we decided to sit at the bar because the place was getting packed by the minute on a Sunday afternoon. Our bartender Amy was an absolute gem. She was very professional, personable and always had a smile on her face...seriously, you could see her positive energy before she even greeted us! We ordered some tasty and refreshing margs, chips/salsa, guacamole and queso. The chips were gigantic and fresh! The red salsa and tomatillo salsa was also good which had a slight bit of spiciness to it! The guacamole was very fresh and delish! The queso...yum, but watch out for those diced jalapeños! ;-) All in all...we had an exceptional experience at Las Montañas! Thanks again Amy! You took such great care of us...we so appreciate your stellar and professional service! You truly made our first visit here the absolute BEST! read more

I went here for lunch and had the avocado and grilled corn tacos, which were right up there with the best tacos I've ever eaten - wonderful combination of flavors and textures. The outdoor balcony was beautiful - I was there on a sunny June day, the umbrellas provided plenty of shade, there was a glorious view of the mountains, it's hard to imagine a lovelier setting. The restaurant provided a very generous serving of free chips, and the free salsas were also delicious. As a vegetarian, I also really appreciated that the server warned me that the flour tortillas were made with lard (but the corn tortillas were safe), and that there was a specifically vegetarian option for beans. My only criticism is I wish there were more vegetarian options on the dinner and happy hour menus - I don't understand why the tacos list on the bar menu includes all the tacos from the lunch menu except the vegetarian one. Until that changes, this will strictly be a lunch place for me. read more

Great food. Margarita wasn't the best. Just basic. Sat on the rooftop. Great vibe!!! Would recommend for happy hour.

We absolutely loved the fajitas and the drinks we got here. Since it is Aspen, it is going to be expensive, but well worth it! We have tried to come here several times when we've been in town and it is not a secret that the food here is amazing. The fajitas were topped with melty cheese which was a nice surprise and super tasty! If you have a group over 8 you will likely need to be a separate but adjacent tables which actually worked out really well for us. My mouth is still watering from the shrimp and I can't wait to come back! read more

The queso is amazing as always with the best chips in the world. Also I am a meat eater but the mushroom quesadilla is to one of the best quesadillas I've ever had in my life read more

It was a hellish loud garbage rip off with slow terrible service and rip off Mexican food. I had one ipod ear phone in and it was way louder than full volume. Can a place this miserable exist just to rip you off? zero existence value this place is a nightmare. read more

If you're expecting authentic Mexican, this isn't the place for you, it's more Tex-Mex in my opinion. I tried the fish tacos, red snapper a little fishy tasting. Salsa is mild, I asked for something hotter, they attempted too bring me something three times, but yeah no heat. Staff was friendly and food was okay overall. read more

We had high hopes, but this felt like an overpriced tourist trap. We got there early with reservations for dinner because we wanted to be seated outside, but the hostess had us wait by the bathrooms to be seated as we watched her seat other patrons and after about ten to fifteen minutes, we decided to leave. The hostess then realized she'd forgotten us and sat us inside in the dining area, even though we'd specifically requested to be seated outside. The food was overpriced, the male server was undertrained and indifferent. The $72 NY Strip Asada's and $42 Beef Enchilada's, plus our appetizers were all underwhelming. The ambiance was dated and tacky for Aspen. Of all our restaurant experiences in Aspen, this was the worst and we do not recommend it. We live in Colorado and frequently visit Aspen, and we love authentic Mexican food, but regret splurging on this outdated, overpriced restaurant. It's hard to believe that so many people give this place a five star review. My two star review is generous. read more

Was ignored for 10 straight minutes. Then attempted to ask for a seat or a menu for takeout and was completely blown off. Gave up. Walked out. Top notch Aspen BS. read more

Stopped in for lunch while wandering around Aspen. We were seated in the dining room and patiently waited and waited for a server. We finally had someone stop by and bring us water. We waited again then asked if they had a kids menu. No such luck but they said they could make things for kids. We didn't even order before someone else not our server took all our menus. The chips and salsa were good. The steak tacos (2 for $30) not so much. Steak way over cooked. The kids quesadilla with chicken was sad. One corn tortilla folded in half with chicken for $20. Ouch I know prices are high in the area but come on. The strawberry margarita was just a lime margarita with a spoonful of jelly in it. Even when mixed it was still lime. Definitely would try elsewhere. read more

Being from San Diego, we are always a little hesitant to try Mexican food elsewhere, because it usually just doesn't measure up to what we are used to. However, after multiple recommendations, we decided to try Las Montañas while we were in Aspen. I'm so glad we did, because it was delicious! Servers were very attentive throughout our meal. We tried the Jimmy's Own margs and the Rosado Paloma, both of which were very good. Appetizer was the Roasted Green Chile Queso...I could eat that by the gallon! Perfect amount of spice from the serranos, and it paired perfectly with homemade tortilla chips. For mains, we had the Chicken Tomatillo Enchiladas and the Achiote Chicken Chalupas. Both were excellent, though I would give the nod to the enchiladas as the better of the two. All in all, a great experience and fantastic lunch. read more

Charles was an amazing waiter! All of the service staff were very attentive. Highly recommend the steak asada tacos and crispy beef tacos.

The fajitas were amazing and definitely can be shared by two people. The homemade tortillas really made the dish too ! Service as excellent and the overall restaurant vibe was upbeat and fun. I am here visiting aspen and was very satisfied read more

Well prepared Mexican. Fun bar to wait for your table. The steak fajitas are enough for 2. One of my fave stops in Aspen.

Las Montañas is a great addition to the Aspen food scene. The chips and salsa to start are excellent. We ordered the fajitas which was just enough for two people. I was really impressed with the flour tortillas -- great texture and depth of flavor. The restaurant is cozy and festive. The service is high energy and fast. Insider's Tip: The restaurant is on the upper level of the shopping plaza. read more

Beautiful restaurant. The chips and salsa were the perfect start to our meal. We had the grilled fish tacos, crispy beef taco and picadillo enchiladas. The fish, tortilla, chipotle aioli, carrot puree, cumin rice, and housemade pinto were delicious. My brother was disappointed with beef since it was dry. We overall had a great visit. read more

Without a doubt, the best fajitas I've ever had. Great service as well. I'll absolutely be back.

Got a couple of seats at the bar during Happy Hour on my birthday - it was perfect - a couple of tacos, couple of great cocktails - easy, causal last day in town read more

Absolutely the best fajitas I've EVER had. We had the steak/chicken combo. The cheese was melted on the pan and I was so good on the fajitas. We ordered the chile relleno option as well - put the cheese/onion/pepper mix on the fajitas as well. Just fantastic!!!! Definitely go - you won't be disappointed. read more

I'm gonna start off by saying I'm not a huge fan of Mexican food. But everyone in my group wanted to come here. The drinks were good. We got the queso dip which also was very good. I ordered the Spanish octopus. It was so spicy I could barely eat it, and I will tell you there's nothing Spanish about it. All in all I wouldn't go out of my way to come back to this place. read more

The service was great, the servers and hostesses were super nice, the steak carne Asada was delicious and the espresso martini was awesome chips and salsa very amazing. They even have Mexican coke read more

This is not "gourmet" Mexican food - not even close... As soon as I started eating I thought I was at an Indian restaurant. The rice tasted like Basmati, the tacos tasted like they poured a bottle of Cumin in it and were salty... when the hostess asked me how was the food I asked if this was Mexican /Indian fusion and she quickly quipped that each plate goes through five chefs before it comes to the table. NO JOKE!! I couldn't help but to think of all five "chefs" called in sick... she totally shut me down. No follow up no concern. Then the waitress came by and she asked how the food was. I said it was the worst Mexican food I had ever tasted - and it was...she quipped back and said " yes this is not California" Ok fine .... Good shot from her but again no follow up and no concern... I still tipped but left. Worst service and worst food I've ever had in ANY place I have ever been to. Up to you if you want to try it but I assure you, you will be disappointed... ANY restaurant can have a bad day... but at LEAST follow up with some alternatives. read more

We came two nights in a row to this restaurant. The first night I actually remarked "this is one of the best restaurants in the world" and planned to leave a 5 star review here. Service was great. Restaurant is beautiful and the food was outstanding. We liked it so much we came back a 2nd night. There was a family beside us with kids using iPads to watch a movie. In theory I don't have an issue with seeing the iPads at the table beside me but it was on full volume and extremely distracting to our table. I very politely asked the manager if she could ask the family to turn down the iPad or ask them to use headphones. The manager told me that the volume was not her problem and that if I had an issue with it, I could tell them myself. At that moment I wish I had just left the restaurant but we had ordered already and decided to move to sit at the bar area instead. It was an extremely disappointing handling of the events. The tone of the manager implied we were asking something out of the ordinary and that our experience should matter less. Do better! read more

The waiters were super snobby and judgmental. We only got one drink each and I didn't order a meal because I ordered tons of food for the kids and I would probably finish theirs. I did order the calamari appetizers and it barley had any calamari. Another adult ordered the steak tacos and complained about the fact that they barely had any steak. Everything else was over salted. Also the adult meals took a long time and it was just a couple plates of tacos. Kinda weird. Pros: chips and salsa, especially the green salsa was amazing. The ambiance was fantastic. Other Mexican restaurants in Aspen are better read more

This place is lacking in all efforts and should be replaced. Rice and beans were good but only 2 spoons. I need to eat and well I was bummed. Other items junk. Calamari really poor 6 pieces of meat all other contents peppers. Bar tender nice enough. Manger had no comment to my mate who dropped over 400 in 3 hours. Mostly posting as he was so pissed. I will return for chips and salsa in December. I expected more high end Mexican cuisine. read more

Just went there a few nights ago, the food could not have been tastier, and our waiter, Taylor was the best! Super conversant and worked very quick and precise. Love this place! read more

Pretty unimpressive for high end Mexican food. For $40 the fajitas need to be the best you've ever had, but sadly just average. Rice tasted more like something you'd find in an Indian joint. The biggest ripoff was a $9 skewer of grilled vegetables that prob cost 50 cents at the market. Service was very fast. read more

This place is so great - food was delicious (do the fajitas!), ambiance was great, and the service was the best of my entire trip to Aspen. Our server was a tall guy with long hair and I'm so bummed I don't recall his name because he was so great. Helped us navigate the menu, never had an empty salsa bowl or water glass, and was just a fun hang. Can't wait to go back! read more
