Too expensive for what it is. That being said, the tacos were delicious! Great, fresh marg. Cool atmosphere and we received great service at the bar. Rice and beans below average. read more

Just swung in for a drink and an app. The menu looks great though! The staff greeted us with smiles and sat us immediately. It wasn't too crowded but the space is smaller so I could see it being kind of cramped during rush hour, but a very cool building and atmosphere! Good place to unwind after shopping Electric Ave!! read more

I'm so glad I ignored the low star rating and gave this place a try. While their menu is limited and chips and salsa are not complimentary their tacos are truly amazing. We enjoyed corn which was crispy and flavorful. The barilla tacos were the best and came with a dipping sauce that was exquisite. The spicy Paloma's were also so good!!! The inside/outside seating area is a nice option when the weather is nice. We sat just inside the patio area by the bar. TV's were happily on various different things. Our server was attentive and helped us make great decisions. Don't sleep on this place. So far it's the best food I've had in Big Fork! read more

WARNING ON THIS PLACE!!! I tried to sit on the patio with my medical service animal and they refused to serve me. This is illegal. I tried to offer my ADA papers to the host and she said, "Absolutely no dogs." I told her this was illegal and she didn't care. Only one star because I had to give a stupid star. read more

Service was excellent. Food was good though they had limited menu due to special event. The Huckleberry Mule was great. Overall would definitely go again. read more

Used to be one of our fav's, but since mid- July, I would say the place has lost it's gusto. Food is hit and miss, so is the service. Tried again after over a month, and the bar looked like it could use a good scrub down. Too many flies, we decided not to order food. read more

The service was excellent. The menu was limited to mostly tacos. The food was good, although I wish I had been warned about the guacamole they put on the chicken tacos. I'm not a fan of avocado,and fortunately, my other two tacos had a small slice of avocado that could easily be removed. The prices are a bit high, and will be even higher if you choose to pay with a credit card. My experience was not terrible, but I doubt I will return. It would not be difficult to find Mexican food more reasonably priced at a place that doesn't punish you for not paying with cash. read more

We stop in ORO Y PLATO after a couple of rounds at Whitefish Golf Club and we were not disappointed. (4) of us had dinner at the bar but the tacos and appetizers were very tasty and delicious. Kudos to the owner for the ambiance w/ a beautiful large outdoor patio, spacious dining area , super bar and awesome staff made these Texas golfers have a memorable day !! read more

Greeting customers by saying we are too busy with a rude tone, snarky like we were an inconvenience, is not what we expected from our "Ex favorite" spot. Brought our elderly parents in to dinner on Monday at 6 and was greeted by three of the rudest hostesses I have ever come across. Completely shocked at the unprofessional staff. Multiple open tables & a handful just left dirty, instead of cleaning them for waiting customers. We were ignored & treated like we were in the way. Left standing at the hostess station while three girls left several tables filthy & unwilling to bus them for hungry waiting customers. They all three had time to socialize & chat amongst themselves. But no time to clean the tables or seat guests? After finally speaking to us, she said I can suggest some other places for you to go eat at? I was shocked at the lack of efforts, they were too busy to seat us or provide us with drinks, chips & salsa? We were confused as to why we could sit & simply wait for service in the 4-5 open tables available since there appeared to be staff on hand standing around? Honestly I was shocked Danny would allow his employees to speak to his loyal customers this way. Completely disrespectful & super rude. Completely Ruined our family night & put a damper on what we had planned for our evening. Too busy to provide service too busy to be nice, too busy to feed guests. If you want to be treated poorly then left standing there hungry & thirsty, this is the place for you. To say this was disappointing would be an understatement. Sadly, more than likely will never go back... Changes to the staff are essential to remain open. Danny needs to re train his girls on kindness & hospitality. This year's staff are lacking on all levels. The three girls were absolutely awful. read more

YUM! Oro Y Plata was exactly what I wanted after a long day of travel. I very much appreciated the simple, straightforward menu that made it very easy for my exhausted mind to study. All the selections sounded delish, and I wanted it all. So, I ordered the Taco Trio (carne molida, pulled chicken and pork guisada tacos served with rice and beans, $21.00). This way, I get a little bit of everything. I'll start with the best - the pulled chicken taco. Perfectly seasoned shredded chicken with fresh toppings cradled in a crispy, birria-style taco shell, I savored every bite. Not only was the chicken incredibly flavorful and juicy, but the crunchy shell made it even better. The other two tacos were also very well seasoned, bursting with flavor and equally as delish. I found them very similar in taste, just different meats. I was also a big fan of the soft, warm beans and spicy Mexican rice, the latter adding quite the kick which I enjoyed when I added on my burritos. The service was great. Our waitress was attentive and very patient with me as I made my selection. The prices are a lil steep, but that's to expect in a small, destination town. Don't go here if you're not willing to spend minimum $25.00 per person. There is great outdoor seating right off of Bridge Street to enjoy the beautiful weather and quaint downtown life. Overall, I loved Oro Y Plata. I found the high price of the dish worth the fantastic experience. I highly recommend for a nice lunch/dinner. read more

My family and I visited this restaurant while we had some folks from out of town with us. We love Bigfork and supporting local businesses. I was completely disgusted with our experience here. We arrived around lunchtime, but the place was completely empty. We weren't even sure if they were open until someone walked up and saw us standing there. We had read the negative reviews on this restaurant, but decided to give it a shot anyway.They have a large patio and as I said, there was not one person out there. We requested a table for four people. I also stated that we have a service dog with our party. Legally, I would be able to sit inside the restaurant, but I do my best to stay outside when that option is available to us. The hostess very rudely told us that no dogs are allowed on the patio. I told her that legally, she cannot deny service to us. I explained to her that she is a full medically-certified service dog, I have a neurological condition and that I have paperwork I could provide if she wanted to see it for proof. She said she did not want to see it. It was clear from her attitude that she did not care, nor was she educated on the laws. I asked her if she could please get a manager to address the situation and she just looked at me and walked away without saying a word. I didn't know if she was walking away because she was done "helping" us or if she was walking away to get a manager. At this point, I walked away with my dog because the situation was getting confrontational, and my dog was alerting me. My family stayed at the hostess stand, not sure what to do in this uncomfortable situation and that is when another person walked out from the inside the restaurant. I'm not sure if she was a manager or not, but she looked around, said where is the dog, shrugged her shoulders, and walked away. It was extremely clear that they either are not educated on the laws or simply do not care. It makes me very sad for anyone with a disability to visit an establishment like this and be treated the way that we were. My dog was wearing the appropriate harness, and as I said, I offered to provide legal paperwork, which is absolutely not required of me to do so. We proceeded to walk across the street to Pocketstone Café where we were treated very well. There was another dog on their shaded patio and they brought our pup a bowl of water as soon as we sat down. We love, big Fork and we will definitely be back, but I will never step foot in Oro again. Shame on them read more

Beautiful location. Cool design. Big Fork is a cool Montana destination town. Foody nirvana. Don't come expecting cheap prices. Quality rules. Home made tortillas, delicious meat. Quantity did not disappoint. Chips and salsa were some of the best we've ever had. Thin, crispy, salty goodness. Tried the taco trio to get some variety. Amazing. Pickled vegetables were a spicy surprise. We will be back. read more

Food was great and our server was very attentive and provided great service. I gave 1 star because my husband has a service animal and was refused service. We even asked if we could sit outside on the empty patio but were told no animals (even service animals) are allowed on the property. This is illegal and terrible customer service. My husband left and enjoyed lunch at another local taco shop that welcomed him and his well behaved service animal. read more

Went July 5th for dinner, hostess and waitress were great! Amazing food, we love the chicken and birria tacos. We come every summer and really enjoy this restaurant. read more

Ate sitting at the bar. Nice ambiance. But $24 for two tacos is a bit steep off season.

We bellied up to the bar & had awesome service! The spicy Paloma is so good! Delicious salsa! My husband had the pulled chicken tacos & I had the short rib meat tacos, and we loved them! We really enjoyed our meal & the atmosphere & look forward to stopping in the next time we're in town! read more

We stayed in Bigfork for three nights and ended up coming back here each night! The food was excellent and all the servers we had were great but what brought us back each night was the exceptional service and friendliness of Stevie the bartender!! She was terrific and shared local knowledge, fun stories and truly made us feel like we were "locals". Hoping they also hire back next year their summer helper waitress Dior as she too was all smiles and a lot of fun! I'd recommend trying this place if you're in town! read more

This pricing is absolutely insane. How can they even think that this is practical? Owners like this are what's ruining the Flathead valley. You can get better quality and quantity for nearly 1/3 the price from a local food truck. Not all negative; the salsa is pretty tasty. The tacos are decently loaded.. and the tortillas are lovely and fresh. The service was decently attentive.. Overall, the chicken tacos have the most flavor in their "trio" dish.. the pork and beef, though portions were pretty generous, lack any real flavor.. Certainly not worth the price at all.. read more

Oro Y Plato - The Menu - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Bigfork, Montana

We (my husband, my 3 boys, and I) arrived and put our name on a 90 minute waitlist. We came back after 1 hour and were seated. We ordered our drinks & food. An hour later, after seeing other people sit after us and being served their food, we asked for an update on our food. We were told that ours was coming out next. The next food that came out went to the table next to us that sat 30 min after us. It was well over an hour and we still did not receive our food. Our waitress did not stop by to see how we were doing. I found our waitress and said that we wanted to leave now. The chef was nearby and asked if we would take the food he had in his hand. We said no. He then said that nothing that happened was personal. He blamed the mistakes and struggles on his high school workers. He was the head chef. He should run the kitchen better and not blame issues on his staff, especially in front of them and the customer. Absolute horrible experience. He did offer to pay for our 2 drinks though. We ate at the cantina restaurant nearby a couple evenings later, they only had 3 workers in their entire restaurant, and the cantina restaurant did an amazing job, even with a long wait. read more

I first visited here in 2022. I was blown away by the tacos & margaritas at that time. I have been dreaming of this place ever since. I finally got to visit again today and it was awful. Food not salted. Prices are outrageous. 31$ for tacos??? Will not return. read more

I expected it to be overpriced due to location & it was. We had several types of tacos, bean, rice, guac, salsa & queso. Ground beef & crock pot style shredded chicken is not what I think of when I think of tacos. What they do is akin to Taco Bell style.... cheap, fast & little effort put it to it. The pork wasn't as bad but it still is in that "drive through" category. Drinks were ok. Nothing special. I don't think they have any consistency though. Feels like they need some training in that department. People were friendly & welcoming. Service was fast (off season). Place has a decent vibe. If was already hanging in downtown Bigfork, walking around or something, I *might* stop in for a drink if friends wanted to but not a place I'd grab a drink in my own & I won't ever order their food again. I definitely would NOT go out of my way to go here. read more

We have frequented this place often and enjoy the tacos for what they are. Yesterday, June 21, 2025, we were shopping g in Big Fork and decided to grab some tacos and drinks ( four of us) at Oro y Plato. My wife is a veteran and has a service dog. A Cream Retriever, and she was told by the guy tending bar that their policy is no pets. Explaining that this is not a pet but a service animal, wearing service badges on her halter and that refusing was a violation of ADA law, the bar tender admitted the policy was illegal but refused to seat us. When we asked for the manager/owner contact info, he gave us a fictitious number as the person answering had nothing to do with the place. I made this call in front of the bar tender and he was very glib about it, saying that was the only number he had. Not looking for them to change anything or acknowledge this post as none of the other reviews have any replies from the business. A shame as we did enjoy this as a meeting place. We did go to another restaurant, Puente Viejo Cantina, and had excellent service and drinks. The staff and owner were awesome. Thanks Oro y Plato!!!!We found our new place and will share with anyone we know. read more

Location is great. Right at the end of Electric Ave... but you may not find it due to the lack of ANY signage. Hours, seem sporadic... Food, bland as heck. Chips were good, but need salt. Salsa looks & tastes just like Pace picante sauce. Tacos- the only menu item, need flavor! Chicken- tender but flavorless despite looking appealing. Steak- had a hint of heat, but could be better seasoned. Pork- also tender but lackluster. Drinks- average beer selection, Lemon drop- attractive presentation in a coup glass, but could be much better. Obviously just vodka & sweet & sour mix. You obviously have lemons since a twist was on the rim, use the juice, add water, simple syrup, vodka & voila a lemon drop! I'd call this a limited bar with nice ambiance at the bar & outdoor patio. They also happen to serve bar bites in the guise of Mexican food. Walk in expecting this and you'll be satisfied. I wouldn't expect anything more than that. read more

Not a good value for the money. They should consider dropping the ground beef tacos from the menu for something a little more upscale in keeping with the prices charged +$20 for 3 ground beef tacos is outrageous. read more

We gave Oro Y Plato a shot and the overall experience was mediocre. The food wasn't bad nor was it great. The tacos I ordered were ok. They came out cold. The service was good and fast. A little too fast in my opinion. I say that solely because our food was cold. I had high hopes because I loved the location, openness and ambiance but unfortunately the food was just ok. read more

Free chips and salsa; terrible chips good salsa. Quick service. Great Spicy Paloma. Good vibe. That's about where the pros end. I got the brisket salad bowl, very tiny and the $7 portion of brisket was nearly all fat, supppper small, and had a hair; but the bowl was okay overall just not worth $19! My husband had the tacos they were fine. Overall overpriced. Not bad. Not a great stop. read more

I ate at this restaurant last week with my family while visiting Bigfork. The location of this establishment was excellent and the overall atmosphere was lively and fun. The menu was extremely small; it only had chicken, pork, and steak tacos. I tried both the pork and chicken tacos, and found both to be extremely, extremely bland. Someone else at my table had tried the steak tacos as well and agreed that they were flavorless. I was baffled by how flavorless the food was and thought that I surely had caught COVID and it had reduced my ability to taste. So, I received a COVID test to see if that was behind my lack of ability to taste, but the test came back negative and it turned out that the tacos at this restaurant were really that flavorless. Would not recommend eating at this restaurant. Tacos from any fast food restaurant would have much more flavor and be much more worth the price. read more

My husband and I stopped here for an early dinner and tried three kinds of tacos -- they were some of the best I've had in or out of Montana! Homemade tortillas and delicious pairing of ingredients. Would definitely recommend! read more

Their homemade tortillas are the bomb! So good we bought some to take home. The chips and salsa are dangerous! On our motorcycles but they have frozen lime and mango margaritas that looked amazing! read more

Wow! The wow is for the insane prices. They must be living in La La Land. Wait, isn't that LA? This is flippin Montana! Get off your high horse! Your food is awful! Get on your pony and come back to reality. You should be embarrassed. I can get what tasted like pork n beans in a can. Every Mexican restaurant serves black beans. And saffron rice in a Mexican restaurant? That's Indian food. Your stupid is showing. Come in and have a tasty margarita and visit the memorable bathrooms. Exit right for dinner ANYWHERE else in Bigfork. read more

Incredible food. Seriously this is the best tacos and high end Mexican food you will find in the area. They have been a bit short staffed but the food has been excellent every time we come here which is about once a week. Order the appetizers too. You won't be disappointed. read more

OK for those reviews with overpriced it is a little expensive but price of doing business is expensive. Homemade tortillas were definitely the hit. The margaritas were crazy good. I definitely return The bartenders were really nice. The owner is on site his mothers in the kitchen his brothers cooking pretty much a family business . read more

My husband and I stopped in here over Memorial Day weekend for some lunch. First of all, we arrived at 11, which is when they say they open. We weren't greeted with a host, so asked the bartender if they were open, to which he responded, "technically." Whatever that means? Our waitress was nice and prompt, but on probably the busiest weekend of the year so far, she let us know that they were only serving 2 types of tacos. Nothing else, not even chips and salsa. They did not have a menu out so we couldn't see the prices. We ordered our drinks and thought about going somewhere else, but decided to try a couple tacos. Again, the waitress was great and fast. We got the tacos, they were good. Nothing fancy or super special, but good. I liked the guacamole and the tortillas. Our drinks were served in plastic and the tacos were served in paper trays. I asked for hot sauce, and apparently they didn't have any (at a Mexican restaurant?). They had salsa verde which is obviously very mild and not what I wanted. We got the bill and saw they charged $6 per taco. Mind you they were small, simple, and without anything special on them. Served in paper. My husbands meal alone for 3 small tacos and two margaritas served in plastic was $40. Without chips and salsa, and only 2 options to choose from. Clearly, management/ownership does not understand how to keep customers or bring people in. If you're going to serve street tacos, charge street taco prices. We won't be back. read more

Used to be great but now feels like the owner is losing interest. Bar is great but it's basically a taco shop now not a restaurant. Labor shortages must be tough. No chips, no beans, no rice, just tacos at $21 per plate. Staff was great. read more
