The wait for a table was about 30 minutes, but we spent the time walking around the area, so it went by quickly. Once seated, we found ourselves in a tiny dining room and bar with walls covered in license plates from different states. We turned it into a fun little "I Spy" game while waiting for our food. We started with the Chips and Salsa Fresca, which was fresh and delicious. For our main meal, we ordered tacos -- the #1 El Diablo, #5 Esteban Special, and #6 Fish Tacos. The chipotle sauce on the El Diablo was phenomenal, and the grilled fish in the fish tacos was some of the tastiest I've had. The staff was fantastic as well. My daughter ordered the Chips w/ Cheese (nachos) from the kids' menu and unfortunately didn't like them at all. When we mentioned it to our server, she genuinely cared and quickly made things right by removing the item from our bill. Next time I'm in Pagosa, I'll definitely be coming back to this gem of a place.

Oh boy! Where do I start. Wanted to really like this place but I left very disappointed. First of…read moreall, they serve on paper plates and use plastic utensils. Maybe for a food truck this is okay but for a sit-down restaurant I find this unacceptable. I ordered the smothered green chili cheeseburger and left hungry and unimpressed. The patties were over done and came with cheese and sauce. The bun might have been store bought. For $21 (after taxes and 3% credit card fee), one should not have to leave hungry. To top off the insult, the chips they serve you are just a bag of Miss Vickie's chips! Yes! $21 for a burger that doesn't even come with homemade chips. I just couldn't believe it. Every other restaurant would serve you either piping hot fries or homemade chips with a burger that's priced that high. The whole experience felt more like an overpriced city food truck than a sit-down restaurant. We had plans to go to the Creede location but definitely going to skip it. I don't know if this is an attempt at recouping lost revenue from pandemic but if you're going to charge $21 plus tip for a burger then at least serve it with fresh chips or fries and don't use plastic silverware and paper plates. But if you're going to use bagged chips and paper plates, price your burger at $10 not $19.

They informed me today that they will no longer be selling Steep because they raised their prices. They are now selling allegro as their drip, and when asked if using corporate coffee would lower the price of their drip, they said no. As far as I'm concerned this is disingenuous and a pretty bad hustle. Other complaints include no visible pricing and random price switching (due to the lack of transparency). We will not be back. Please consider supporting the Steep roasting company ten minutes up the road, you can get a fresh bag for 2/3 the price that higher grounds sells it for anyway.

This post isn't to completely bash this place rather just to share my opinion…read more Staff is super attentive and our drinks were never empty. The food however was terrible. Four of us with a meal each, two cups of coffee, and two lemonades was $82, which is far too pricey for the quality of the food. I ordered the huevos rancheros and I have never eaten such bland food before. The beans were hard as though they hadn't been cooked all the way and I am not sure how, but even the single slice of bacon that came with it was bland. I ended up eating the eggs on top of the corn tortillas and left the rest of my food. One of my sons ordered the lunch burrito with chicken and without me prompting him, also said that it was bland and flavorless. My other son ordered the short stack and said that the pancakes were ok but poured the syrup on and it tasted like maple flavored water and made the pancakes soggy. My husband got the chicken fried steak and said it was ok once he put a ton of salt on it. Please see the photos. We ended up leaving most of our food untouched. We paid our bill in full and left tip, which was over $100 for bland food that we didn't hardly eat. I would recommend skipping this place as the food is bland and tasteless, even by hungry teenage boy's standards. The two stars of this review are definitely because staff was great.

So to add yet another breakfast/lunch cafe to an already mediocre group was quite the gamble. Unfortunately, it looks like it will add one more to it's long history of failed eating establishments. So let's look at the facts: We entered the restaurant and found three tables seated. No one eating. Not too bad there were two waitresses. Also not too bad. And yet we sat and waited for service. We waited to order and still no one was eating while we waited. Three more tables came in and were seated. We finally got drinks but no silverware and a couple of menus. Same breakfast fare: eggs, bacon, hash-browns, toast etc. Nothing that every other Cafe doesn't already offer. However, their prices were higher. I did hear from someone that the pancakes were pretty good. So I got a typical eggs, sausage, hash, brown pancake combo. My partner got a veggie omelette. We waited and waited and waited some more. Still, no one was eating. We were about ready to leave and call it a day when the waitress brought our food.But she had to go back for silverware and condiments, which she hastily placed in a pile on the edge of the table. And we had to ask for a refill on our beverage. My husband asked for Tabasco sauce and it was brought out almost empty. Both servers had to come back and ask for the Tabasco sauce, three times to take it to other tables. There was one bottle for the entire restaurant! The pancake that I had heard good things about was burned, greasy and crumbly. It was so bad I couldn't eat it. So slow service, poor quality food, and disappointing menu led to an overall awful experience. Finally, the ambience: same picture of John Wayne and other cheap western art on the walls, same table arrangement with a bar, taking up most of the space. Suffice it to say there is no ambience. Why do we continue to beat ourselves over the head paying ridiculous prices for subpar food and crappy service? The reason: we always hope for the best and we're too damn lazy to fix our own breakfast. I should have learned.
