The Navajo taco was great and everything is made to order so very fresh. It is also very authentic. The showstopper was easily the cup of green chili I got.

The appearance and atmosphere is almost identical to Val's. If you liked Val's you will be happy to know they seem to have kept the best of Val's. I had the Taco Plate as I almost always did at Val's and, with the exception of the chips and salsa, it was just as good as Val's. Unfortunately, they have gone with the traditional chips found in most Mexican restaurants instead of the extra thick and crunchy ones Val's was known for. Definitely want to get over and try their breakfast.

All four of us did the buffet. There is a good variety of options there, from starters, entres, and…read moredesserts (actually, tons of desserts). However, the labeling is atrocious and it's often hard to tell what each item is (like, the churros were labeled as tacos). I think they are just always shifting things around, so they must have trouble keeping up with things. I wish they had a bit more variety of vegetables for the buffet that aren't part of a final dish (like in an enchilada). It's mostly just meats there. A few of the things seem a bit suspect, too. The smaller make-your-own tacos have sad looking ground beef and "queso." But I guess that's to be expected at the "American style" taco part of the buffet. I see that some reviews have mentioned there being grilled veggies, but that was not around on the day we were there. I'm not sure if that's a part of the menu you can order from, or if there's just that much variety in what they offer day-to-day. What's not to be missed, though, and it very good, are the fresh tortillas and made-to-order street tacos. Very yummy. I could just eat the tortillas all day. Best of all, everyone there is very friendly, welcoming, and accommodating. If the labeling were a bit better and some more vegetables (beyond salad), I think it would be 5 stars. As is, I'd give it 4.5.

We stayed in town for 3 days. 2 nights of this we chose Super Taco for supper. Between my wife and…read moremyself, we had the carnitas, nachos supreme, fish tacos, and machaca. That's just to say we had a pretty good example of their food, and it was all excellent every time. The guy at the cash register was friendly. The cook is talented and makes the food quickly. (Just to remark on cleanliness) I also noticed the cook on the second night, when we came in, he had the grill out from the wall scrubbing down the wall behind it. If I lived near Super Taco, I would be Super Fat super soon.

I was pleasantly surprised by my first visit here. You do hear Spanish convos in the back kitchen. This restaurant seems really authentic. The servers were young and able to answer any questions you had about the menu. The food came out in a timely manner. They were good about checking in on us. I personally got to try the AL PASTOR QUESADILLAS. The pork was well marinated. There were 4 pieces with a side of rice, guac & beans. The meal was well balanced. The food itself is delicious here! I also got to try the CHAMANGO. It had every ingredient that it was supposed to have - tajin & chamoy sauce inside with a chunky straw coated with tamarind. This drink has a slightly salty/spicy, tangy & sweet taste all in one. It's more expensive than other drink options here, but it's big in size & well assembled. Overall, this is a solid Mexican spot that you won't be disappointed to try. I believe that everything you order here will be good based on what I tried.

After a full day exploring the vast San Luis Valley, the largest high mountain valley in the world,…read morewe were ready for a good meal. I ordered the taco plate, which was satisfying and, surprisingly, priced like it was still pre-pandemic. In today's world, that alone earns goodwill. A few things could elevate the experience. The main dining area would benefit from better ventilation. Also, the salsa bar clearly meant to be a showcase feature, needs more attention during the day. A quick refresh here and there would go a long way toward presentation and food safety. Things like dried salsa around container rims, a stray floating ramekin lid, and limes that looked like they'd been slowly dehydrating made it feel neglected. Finally, table service should include checking back on drinks. A quick pass to refill or ask if anything's needed would make the service more complete. It was a four-star experience but somewhere I'd consider returning given fairly limited options in Monte Vista. With more attention to detail it could be in competition for a five star rating.

Which leads me to my one complaint I didn't want a beef sauce on my sour cream chicken enchilada, but don't like red or green chili sauces. That left queso topping which for 1 enchilada still cost an extra $1.50. Seems like for one chicken enchilada they should offer that for free or have a sour cream sauce. Our wait staff was good, but not very knowledgeable about the food. We asked if they came with refried beans or charro beans. She was clueless about what we meant! From her definition we figured charro, but in reality they were refried- tasty refried beans, but not charro!! Would we go back? Yes!!

After a bit of driving around and calling, we found that we had to take the ski lift to the top of the mountain ridge to play. The ride up was really nice. It was well worth the few bucks to take the ride up and take in the sites. The views were incredible ,and impossible to put into a photo properly. The payoff at the top was about as good. After playing 9 holes we properly stopped into the bar for a round. there were plenty of other people at this spot on the top of a mountain, and it seems like most were just there for the beer. There was even a bachelor party taking place and it was only 11am. I should mention we had on jackets thinking it would be cold but the round got us hot. The place actually ditched our jackets in a cupboard until we were done playing, free of charge. Great spot; I may go again just for the view and the beverage!
