    Wild Mushroom Quesadilla | Instagram: @telephonesmoothie
    Jacqueline T.

    Call me crazy, but Mexican isn't usually my favorite cuisine. This spot was different though. My husband and I shared: - Wild Mushroom Quesadilla - Stuffed Sopapilla- - Korean BBQ Taco - Beef Short Rib Enchilada - Chicken Molé Enchilada The quesadilla and enchiladas were my favorite items we got. I loved the sauces on the enchiladas and it was nice that they let you mix and match. If you want good Mexican food in Aspen, I'd recommend checking this place out.

    I genuinely enjoyed my dining experience at Mi Chola. The food exceeded my expectations. My server was attentive and respectful. And I was pleasantly surprised how quickly our food was ready. My wife and I ordered several items which we shared. My preference, ordered by favorite and ending with least favorite is Wild mushroom quesadilla Beef short rib enchilada Chicken molé enchilada Stuffed sopapilla Korean BBQ taco The wild mushroom quesadilla was so good I wish we had ordered a second.

    $170 worth of fajitas

    This place is unreal - pictured is $170 worth of fajitas - hostess lied to me about making sure we got what was in our order - food may be good in restaurant but never get to go - total scam - also wouldn't pick up the phone when we called to ask what happened - no wonder they are going out of business...

    House Margaritas

    This is our second time coming to Mi Chola for margaritas and chips and salsa and it did not disappoint. I'm not sure why there are so many negative reviews - the vibe is great, it's never been too busy when we go mid-day and overall for Aspen the prices are decent. The house margaritas are pretty standard, but they do the job. The chips and salsa are fresh and have a good flavor. We tried the jalapeño peppers which definitely had a kick as noted on the menu. They were different in that they were deep fried and the inside was stuffed with a runny cheese which was super good. I loved this idea - wish I knew what kind of cheese was inside to try and replicate them. Oh and the spicy ranch! I almost forgot that was the best part. Highly recommend dipping everything in this tangy sauce. Overall this is a fun spot, especially if you go on off-season or not during busy hours you get to see all the locals enjoying the place. Definitely will be back - we love supporting this local business.

    We were in Aspen for a few days and had looked up Mexican restaurants to try and this one seemed to be a good spot. The decor and overall vibe is on point. It has a kind of Mexican Gothic feel, which I really enjoy. I ordered the enchiladas and they were tasty. They also had good margaritas. The service was excellent as well.

    The food just really isn't good. The patio is pretty spacious which is nice, but the tacos are all disappoints and the service isn't great. If you want Mexican in Aspen, I guess you have to go here, but I'd say switch your cravings and go somewhere else. I've given it a shot multiple times, but it's just always disappointing.

    Chicken Fajitas

    Crazy crazy busy with loud music, still service was amazingly fast and server were really friendly. High prices restaurant with Tex Mex food. Portions are pretty big, if you are in Aspen area and craving for Tex Mex then this is the place for you. Amanda our server was amazing, we were party of 17 and she accommodated us without a hesitation. She recommended food and I'm glad I followed her advice.

    Mango salmon
    Monosrija M.

    This place is definitely pricey even in comparison to California prices and they charged us gratuity of 21% on the total bill for a table of just 3 people!!! The food was good and the decor was awesome. I really loved the Mango salmon with cauliflower rice. The mahi mahi dish was also good, the volcano poke bowl was average, the poke was fresh but the accompanying rice was not cooked properly! Drinks were just okay. (There is definitely a lot of scope for improvement) But what I felt a little weird was we were charged a 21% gratuity of almost $38 for a table of 3. It's usually charged for a much larger group (6 or more) in most of the places. Don't know if that is common in Aspen!! Read another review about this restaurant where they had a similar experience and it felt like the owners are pretty racist!!! Wondering if we have been victims of racism here...if so, wouldn't recommend any of the brown people to visit this place!!

    Fair priced beer and good list of appetizers. Nestled in downtown Aspen, great walking distance from the mountain for an Après.

The dish had warmth, depth, and a kind of layered spice profile that felt both new and comforting at the same time. Overall, a really memorable meal in Aspen especially the oxtail, which alone is worth going for.

There is a sweet deck attached for eating outside, which we took advantage of the first time we went. The restaurant interior is just as charming, very clean and modern aesthetic, offering a lovely place to eat. The menu is fresh and wholesome ingredients. We got the same things both times, the Thai noodle salad and the tomato soup - both to die for !! So good. The second time we went we also got a cappuccino, which we regret not getting the first time. The staff is welcoming and super nice, the service was extremely fast and each time we were very well taken care of. We found out that Mawas is a Michelin guide restaurant which is hugely notable on how good this place is. You definitely won't regret going to Mawas kitchen.

    White House Tavern is a perfect example of Aspen casual done right…read more The restaurant sits in a charming historic house and has such a warm, relaxed energy -- great music, friendly staff, and a lively atmosphere. The crispy chicken sandwich is honestly one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. Perfectly crispy, juicy, and balanced with just the right amount of heat. The kale salad and fries were also excellent, and everything came out quickly despite how busy the place was. The service was upbeat and welcoming, and the whole experience felt effortless. If you want a fun, laid-back lunch or dinner in Aspen without sacrificing quality, this is absolutely the place.

    This place was very highly recommended amongst all of our friends and relatives that live around…read moreAspen, so we had high hopes. The service was wonderful, we got our food very quickly, and the ambiance was adorable. A little loud but nothing too crazy. The food itself was fine. We ordered the duo dip, French fries, the French dip, and the chicken sandwich. The guac and the other dip were really good and we loved the chips too. The fries are pretty much what you'd expect, except once they got to room temperature they became super hard and not very edible. My husband said the French dip meat was good and tender, pretty good flavor overall. I had the chicken sandwich which was huge! They split the sandwich into three wedges and I could only finish two. I liked the texture of the chicken was nice and I liked the slaw on it, however, the flavor overall was kind of lacking. I would say it was a bit overhyped. Overall, it was a nice experience for a decent price and I'm glad we went. Would we go back? Probably.
