Okay, WOW! Such a fun happy hour spot! I came here with three friends on a Monday night and we were seated promptly on the upstairs patio. The ambiance is so cute - I genuinely felt as if I were on a beach. The drinks are awesome - we had the bartender's choice (rum-based) to start and two of my friends had an additional Banana Hammock (aesthetically impressive!). The Ahi Tuna Tostada and Pork Belly Taco were so flavorful! The pork belly was a little dry, but the presentation was cool. The ahi tasted so fresh alongside the sliced avocado! I'd LOVE to come back and perhaps sit inside on one of the swings. A+ for creativity, and shout out to our server, Karma! read more

Best thing was service and the pina colada. I'd come here just for the drink. The fish is surprisingly decent considering it's in Colorado (I'm from La). Tostada was good. The fries great. This is a happy hour spot for sure. Wish they played some music. Definitely a needed addition to the aesthetic of the restaurant. read more

What a cool vibe! The drinks was delicious and so fun, so many different options to choose from. The service was great to start, then kind of got left at the end waiting for the bill. I enjoyed the food but really it's about the drinks. Plenty of seating inside and out on patio. Can do a big group as well. Would definitely go back. Great location in downtown. read more

To state the obvious, the space is gorgeous! From the moment you walk in, you feel like you're in a different world far away from Fort Collins. It's the perfect place for a date night or a girls night out. Our group was seated at a booth by the window and had a beautiful view of the holiday lights downtown. We didn't order food during our visit so I can't speak to that, but the drinks were delicious. I was driving so decided to go with a mocktail. I loved that it was served in what looked like an adult sippy cup in the shape of a flamingo. It was whimsical, fun, and on theme. Our server was friendly, attentive, and had a great understanding of the drink menu. She gave us recommendations and plenty of time to decide what we wanted since our group was more focused on chatting than looking at menus when we sat down. I'd visit Sugar, Salt, Sand again. I plan to visit again especially when the weather is nicer and I can enjoy dining al fresco on their beautiful rooftop terrace. read more

Love this place! So cute and everything was delicious. You gotta add ricotta to the pizza

I stopped by Sugar, Salt + Sand in early December and was so happy to see how much the drink menu has expanded. You can really tell the bar manager is leading the creative direction -- it shows in every detail. The happy hour offerings are solid, and the cocktails are genuinely fun. Thoughtful flavor combos, great balance, and beautiful glassware that makes each drink feel intentional instead of overdone. It's one of those menus where you want to try more than one just because everything sounds good. It's always a good sign when you can feel the care behind the bar, and this place continues to deliver. If you haven't been in a while, it's absolutely worth a return for the drinks alone. read more

Wife and I went for our Anniversary (we told them how long we were married) since we thought it would be comforting being both born and raised on Oahu. We just visited Honolulu a few weeks ago and wanted to have something familiar and special. We ordered the Funghi pizza to share and ordered the spicy mayonnaise ahi and salmon poke. My wife got sick an hour after our dinner and we went straight home after. Ambience was ok, food was mediocre, and the staff was ok. We waited a bit to be seated and receiving our drinks. To my local kamaiana, I recommend you go to another restaurant and don't waste your time here. You will find better luck at L&L Hawaiian BBQ, Kona Hawaiian BBQ or even Marcuz Boba Tea Shop, Filipino & International Restaurant. They did not even offer any dessert or something acknowledging our anniversary (not that they needed to but would have been nice for a repeat guest). Pretty sad... No Aloha. Better luck at other restaurants for any celebration. read more

Definitely need to stop here if you're in the area! Such a cute spot, love the ambiance/decor, staff was friendly and attentive, and the food was DELICIOUS and so unique!!!! Their special fries were what hit the ball out of the park for us. I wish to come back to Colorado soon just to come back here! read more

We came at 5 pm on a Saturday for a cocktail and a nibble . It wasn't busy but we were told we could only sit on the patio. It's 95 degrees out. There were a number of seats at the bar and several lounge seats that an hour later remain unoccupied. Outside they had several tables with umbrellas but apparently don't understand that you can tilt them to cut the sun. They seem to be set up better for colder weather. The drinks were pretty good and the fish sliders were good (good gluten free option). The server Ethan, was terrific. Kinda disappointing. read more

Good food awesome vibe killer beverages. This place is adorable and I can't wait to come back read more

Went in for lunch and conveniently slipped in during happy hour. Ordered a calamari to hopefully share, and although delicious, I overestimated the quantity for a happy hour serving (my fault hehe). Ordered the catch of the day, which absolutely slapped. Their fries were delightful. But their ceviche was pretty bland and a let down compared to everything else. The vibe in here was immaculate and I wish I had the courage to steal a propagation from their pretty pothos vines(jk). Would come again! read more

Not impressed at all. I ordered a house margarita it was 120% ice. The ice was above the rim of the glass by 1 inch. The fill level was less or maybe a little more than half the glass. I got three sips out of the straw and it was empty. Service was extremely slow. The atmosphere is funky and the food is marginal at best. I'm really surprised because I'm a big fan of Japango's and eat there as often as I can. I will not be going back there to sugar, salt, and sand.. read more

We've been here a few times now. The theme is SUPER cute, it really does feel like you're in Hawaii, which I love. The atmosphere is definitely the highlight. That said, the service has been veryyyy slow. The last time we went, it took about 30 minutes just for a server to come to our table, and then another 30 minutes to get our drinks and food (which ended up coming out at the same time). I know they're still fairly new and probably working through some kinks, but for now I think we'll take a break before coming back. read more

The vibe was interesting. Not good food. Dry, overpriced and strange portion sizes. We tried the happy hour. The pizza was not great. We got a box for the pizza but ended up throwing it away because we felt bad. Probably won't return. read more

a group of my friends and i went to sugar salt sand last night, and all of us ended up sick (throwing up), we shared a del monte pizza and some churro donuts. eat there with caution read more

Amazing pizza and cocktails! The vibe on the patio is unmatched in old town Fort Collins! Hats off to Jon and his team. read more

Sugar Salt Sand - Mexican Near Me - Fort Collins, Colorado

Ordered via DoorDash so I fully understand that you won't have the same food experience as dining in. We ordered the Hawaiian rice, spicy tuna poke and the churro donuts. The Hawaiian rice lacked flavor but was edible, the spicy tuna poke bowl was warm from being bagged with the hot items (warm poke tuna is not my thing), and the donuts were extremely hard and overcooked. I would not recommend but I hope others will have better outcomes when dining here. read more

Great atmosphere and a fun place to have a cocktail. Plenty of drinks to choose from. We had the Mai Tai and the Hemingway. Food choices are very sparse. We went to have the fish & chips and the shrimp scampi that were listed on the menu online but we were told both choices were taken off the menu. That really only left the brat, burger and sausage rice for entree choices. So we decided to order just an appetizer and got the conch balls. They were delicious. I'd order them again. There are several other appetizers and some "small plate specials" that were available. I think this place is great for a date night, meet-up with friends or a snack and great cocktail. There are 2 cute bench type swings to enjoy and are a fun change up from the typical table. The decors is beautiful with a tiki/ jungle like feel. The plants are huge, real and so pretty. They have a nice rooftop seating area that is open to the bar. Will be perfect for warm weather. Service was lacking and food choices were as well but I think as they are in operation longer they will improve on both. Regardless, it was a fun place. read more

We hosted a big party for a women's group. Marinna was our server, she was wonderful and the food was delicious! I thought the patio was decorated so cute for the holidays, and the photo booth made for lots of smiles & fun. Highly recommend! Our group-booking was easy for such a big size. read more

Over priced and no flavor. Sorry guys really wanted to like this place but no. Ambience is a 10. My Poke was not the way it was described on the menu. Dry. Rubbery ahi w no flavor. Even the aioli was dry - rice was dry. Service slow. Waiter was nice but no urgency to wait on table. Lots of prep being done at the bar for fruity drinks but table service was slow. There's a disconnect. read more

The CUTEST place ever!!!!! When you walk through the door, you head up the cutest stairs. Once you get up... Wow!! Plants everywhere, the seating is adorable, cups/plates are perfect, so cute. Even the bathrooms were cute. We ordered the Iniki fries, tuna poke nachos, and spicy mayo ahi poke bowl. Food was pretty good, the fries were the star of the show! SO good. The nachos were good and so was the poke, not phenomenal was definitely good!! Service was great too. I would definitely recommend this place! A nice little splash of island life right in Fort Collins Colorado!!! read more

I'm also part of the "fun spot, good drinks, bad service" crowd. Waiter was very chatty, drinks came in a timely order, and then it all changed. Food took about 35 minutes to arrive. When waiter came by after we received our order, i asked for another drink, someone placed another food order, and then he took off, ignoring the 3rd person at table who wanted another drink. He came back by 10 minutes later, said he had placed my drink order, but not additional food order. Ummmm...why??? At that point we asked for the check so we could just leave. read more

When the wait staff come to the table and tells you your not welcome because we sat you and now we don't have space when have the restaurant/bar is open. Kind of a dick move. Most likely management because wait staff asked if waters were old when they showed up. read more

This is a beautiful building and location. The food and drinks are not doing it justice. We have sampled around the menu on 3 separate occasions. The fish and chips I had on the first visit, soon after opening, was not fried to a crisp. I assumed their fryer temp was off and they were still figuring things out. Might try those again just to see if it was a fluke. We had the Hawaiian fried rice recently and it was very poor. Like, take-it-off-the-menu bad. Didn't want to eat it. I would eat my own fried rice any day over this , and I'm just an amateur. We will tell anyone going there to not order it. The menu offerings look great but the delivery is falling WAY SHORT. And that makes me bummed out because this space deserves better than this. Please! Reopen or something! Version 2! Reboot! read more

I would only come back here for the drinks, and I say that with some hesitation. I ordered a spicy margarita that was $12 and only had coconut water and tequila (which is not what they advertised). I also had the Miami Vice which was far better and actually came as listed on the menu. The food situation is not good and needs some serious reworking. If they want to be successful in this place, consider being a bar only with no food options and really prioritize your pricey beverages or rework that food menu. The atmosphere was great and servers were great! read more

Love the tacos! Had Jeremiah as a server he was so sweet and did an amazing job. Such a nice atmosphere.

Wow the place is beautiful!! Beautiful day so we hoped for a spot on patio and were denied yet when we sat down there were three open tables... our order for appetizers and drinks was quick but then our appetizer came out in like 5 min but our drinks took 30 minutes. We decided to try some tacos! The waitress took my wife's order and walked away lol first time I was ready to walk out of a restaurant... read more

Our food was wonderful, and the atmosphere is playful and unique for NOCO. Planning on going back soon. Really nice vibe.

When we walked in we fell in love with the atmosphere! The outdoor rooftop patio was to die for and didn't feel like old town at all! Our server was wonderful and the hosts were kind and communicative. I had the poke and it was super good so can't complain there. However be aware, we ordered a round of drinks and a round of shots. THE SHOTS WERE MORE EXPENSIVE though, at 14$ per lemon drop, and our drinks were 11-12$ per shot. So overall I'd come again! read more

We had a big group so I know that makes things difficult. But we literally sat for 1.5 hours waiting for our food to come out. We also waited about 30 minutes just to get our drinks some of which were just beer in a can. The food was ok but nothing amazing and especially not for the dollar amount. Would not recommend, much better places in Fort Collins. read more

What a great place! We stumbled upon it for brunch. Enjoyed the Benny, salad was so tasty light vinegarette and seasoned potatoes. Make sure to get the in house made peach hot sauce! Fresh Bloody Mary mix! The vibe and decor is amazing! And patio vibe with coffee seats & umbrellas! Service so friendly and inviting! Will absolutely be back read more

Would love to be able to give a full rating to this restaurant but I cannot due to the fact that me and my partner were seated, given our menus, and then, for the next 30 minutes, never visited or even looked at by a server. We never even received water. Very disappointing for a first visit. read more

awesome service and drinks! Pastor was my favorite taco and we both loved our drinks. Not too sweet read more

Loud... food is abysmal... I ate there twice... had the burger (which tasted like burnt sawdust) and the polish sausage which was equally bad... both times.. yes the drinks are ok if you can get the bartenders attention long enough to order something. We were ignored bith times we went and we sat at the bar..... Their problem seems to be systematic of problems all over the service industry.. you have less than qualified personnel hoping that they can provide enough misdirection to overcome what's actually there. It's disappointing for sure. I know some of the people that work there and feel bad for them as I know they bring something to the table but unfortunately its the team that is being graded here. If your not a drinker this place is not for you and if you are its 50/50 from a service perspective. read more

I wanted SO BADLY to love this place so much. It has a LOT going for it, but I'm not sure we will go back unless only for drinks and ambience. First let me say the service was wonderful, from the hostess stand to the server to the food runners- all extremely thoughtful, pleasant, and just added to the fun relaxed vibe of the place. Drink menu is fun and the drink I had (house Hawaiian, I think?) was dangerously tasty. Ambience is 5 stars. It's GORGEOUS in there. You forget you're in Fort Collins, honestly. This would be my go-to spot for date night or a place to take out-of-towners but... THE FOOD. It was so, so bad. The menu is kind of eclectic, I don't really know how to describe it. There are tacos, pizza, a hot dog, fried rice... which would probably be fine if it was all amazing. We were absolutely starving so we ordered a lot- started with the Baja ceviche, which looked really unappetizing when it arrived but I'm not one to judge food by its appearance. But it was reallyyyy wet and didn't have much flavor except "fishy water." The chips it came with were stale. Next we got the conch fritters which were better, but very greasy and seemed like they had just sat in the fryer too long. The steak tostada/taco was the best part of the meal. The mango fish taco was just kind of mushy and flavorless. The fried rice looked really pretty and was described by our server as "a little on the sweet side," but we got zero sweetness - it was super dry and the sausage and spam were burnt. The dish itself tasted like what I can only describe as the smell of the hog barn at the Iowa State Fair Please guys! Get the food part figured out- I want so much to come back to this beautiful space with great vibes! read more

VERY SLOW.... Be aware, the service is slow here. Sounds like the bar is underwater but they are not. Nobody in the building and 45 min to get my table drinks. Very sad. read more
