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.

The reviews were solid so we called in an order about 30 mins before we were going to arrive in Del Norte. The location is right off the main road. We got there and the food was ready and hot. We opted to eat right then and the server couldn't have been nicer! I have a couple enchiladas aficionados. One ordered chicken with red sauce and the other cheese with Christmas. The green sauce was tomatillo based, and a perfect compliment to the red. Both plates came with rice and beans that were devoured in 10 mins. My kid and I shared the carne asada plate and loved every bite. The meat was tender and it came with beans, rice, guacamole and tortillas (corn or flour). There's a salsa bar with a few different types of salsas that were great to add to our asada bites. I'm thankful we made the choice to try them. The restaurant and bathrooms were clean. We will be stopping everytime we drive thru!
