Bartender was friendly enough tho not super talkative or helpful. Food was super expensive, and drinks were watered down. Not my first rodeo, so I know how a margarita should affect me. Been coming here for years and it used to be good... This place has turned into a tourist trap. read more

One thing that Durango does not have is a lack of pizza or taco restaurants and Taco Libre is easily one of the better ones. Fast casual restaurant with a fun indoor seating area with various versions of Mexican wrestlers on display. We went with the shrimp, chicken, and steak tacos and my only complaint was their size as you need to adjust your seating to be able to get one of these in your mouth. Chips and salsa are solid with a salsa consisting of grilled chilis and spices. The Michelada was a nice surprise arriving with a spicy fruit roll-up straw and was great. Their margaritas lineup is fantastic with a list of unique and tasty combos. Service was quick as we had barely sat down when our food was starting to arrive at the table. read more

Cute spot and a good variety of menu items. Service was friendly and quick. The pozole was good but not great, it did not come out very warm. The quesabirria was very good, and I would order it again. Carne asada tacos were great, chicken tacos not so good as the chicken was pretty hard/tough. Overall, not bad, but not great. read more

Less than stellar tasting queso. Why is all the queso yellow this direction? White queso has so much more flavor and is very creamy. The guacamole just needs a little seasoning for me. The tacos were delicious with flavor. My issue is when you order guacamole and queso- chips are a given- but they charge ala cart for everything. Sorry I just don't think that is a way to attract customers. I will say the inside of this establishment is filled with Nacho Libre style mask which makes it fun to sit and look around. Today though I enjoyed the patio seating with sunshine and a breeze. read more

Second time eating here during our stay in Durango! My second time choosing the quesabirria on corn- excellent birria and an abundance of toppings. Delicious food, quality service, and a unique atmosphere. A 4/5 - Likely will not be dreaming about this food, but very delicious and warranted a second stop. read more

Flavors were incredible- tried street taco, volcane, and something else I can't remember. A Meat options I'd recommend- al pastor, chorizo, and fried fish. The flavors were were perfect and well balanced. Also can't recommend the spicy margaritas enough. Our server was also incredible and helped us figure out exactly what we'd like. Definitely my favorite place in Durango! read more

All I can say is YUMMY!!! The aesthetic is awesome, too!!! Everything on the menu is really good!! Will definitely go back when we are in Durango again! read more

The food here is amazing and it is a fun concept with wax luchadores! We had the nachos and the al pastor torta. Nachos are large and filling and the al pastor is some of the best I've ever had! Plus the margaritas are perfect - fresh and not too sweet read more

This luchador themed restaurant has many rooms to choose from. It was a very fun and exciting concept. We decided to sit in the back patio. I had higher expectations, but being the first time the the cashier made it more confusing to order or to know how the service worked. The food was a small portion and not as flavorful as I expected either. read more

LOVED my spicy margaritas here and the service was top-notch! The menu isn't super huge, but everything on it is excellent!

Soooo good! We ordered a variety of things to get a good taste. Street taco with steak was so stuffed with steak we put the leftover steak, onions and cilantro into our quest which was delicious on its own. The salsa was fresh and delicious. The shrimp street taco was also delicious. Our favorite was the tortilla soup. Broth was rich and delicious and it was served with avocado, sour cream, cheese, tortillas and dried chilis on the side to personalize it. Yanet, our server, was amazing. read more

This is a go to spot for lunch every time I get the chance to go back home and visit my parents. We love to split the chicken nachos and a carnitas or al pastor quesadilla, paired with a beer or marg it's perfection! Ingredients always taste fresh, and cooked to order. The service is also outstanding, staff is very friendly, food is quick and you can see them cooking in the open kitchen. Can't wait to visit again soon!

The good is tasty and delicious! The margaritas have enough alcohol and the right amount of added flavor! Fantastic! The service is excellent! read more

Great pre-airport pause for tacos and mex coke. As you know, the bar is my preferred seating. The bartender was courteous and efficient with the service. Three street tacos were the perfect snack; barbacoa, carnitas, and chorizo. All fantastic although the chorizo stood out. The ever so slight dig is the queso dip. Maybe I'm wrong but it seemed out-of-a-can like, and doctored a bit. Nevertheless, not a dealbreaker, and I'd visit again. Taco Libre was my alternate food location, and so happy with the decision. The food trailer set up down the block was on "mountain time" (not honoring posted hours). Their loss. read more

Really great tacos that are close to the price tacos should be. The staff here I loved, as they were welcoming and super friendly. The ambience here is great and I enjoyed the music as well. They played a lot of good music in Spanish. It was a weekday for lunch so it wasn't so busy when we came in but it started stirring as we left. I enjoyed the experience and they have a selection of drinks that are good! read more

Just ate lunch here for the first time. You order at the counter, are given a number and food is delivered to you. Service at the counter and food delivery was quick and friendly. I ordered two shrimp tacos and one lengua taco. Street taco size, and super delicious. I also ordered chips and guacamole, which were much larger than I expected. I shared those with the rest of the table. I met a group of 8 people for lunch and there was definitely enough space for our group. read more

Awesome - simply awesome food! The carne asada street tacos were absolutely the best ever! Carlos was terrific!! Must stop in and grab a margarita with lunch or dinner!! read more

Oh yes! Authentic and tasty! I love the ambiance here. Food was priced appropriately -- glad we landed on Taco Tuesday! That was fun. I enjoyed my tacos. I should have ordered them all with carne asada. I will be back when coming through Durango again. read more

$16.00 for a strawberry margarita in a plastic cup with a bad taste. Salsa from a squirt bottle! Really!!

Taco Libre This place was sooo delicious! AND they are open late (for Durango). We were dying for a late dinner on Friday night and having a hard time finding anything that was still open...UNTIL WE FOUND TACO LIBRE! We saw the lights on and walked in 1 minute until closing..and they were so wonderful - so we were able to order take out! Shout out to the staff and chefs for that. AND everything was DELICIOUS! Plus the vibe and decor was great. The glass bulbs above the bar area were so cool. It had booths and bar seating inside plus really nice outdoor eating area out front with string lights - we definitely would have sat there had we gotten there earlier. We got carne asada street tacos, chicken quesadillas, and a chicken burrito. I could basically eat those carne asada tacos every day for the rest of my life. The quesadilla was great, fresh homemade tortillas - yum. The burrito was chock full of veggies which I appreciated. AND the salsas were good. Hot. But good. My favorite was the green salsa. The red was the hottest of the two and smoky, my guess is it was chipotle. We also had Topo Chicos! So happy they had Topo Chico.(It's only the best sparkling mineral water in existence.) Definitely want to go back - not only to order more food but also to try their margaritas! read more

Honestly the food and drinks here are really good. But, the ordering process is confusing and the service was underwhelming to say the least. You walk in and it seems like you are supposed to order at the front with the person standing there. So, we order drinks and tacos and sit in the booth in the front near the bar. My margarita came in a plastic cup which pretty much ruined it for me. Random people are bringing out food and drinks and there did not seem to be a designated server. Since we had ordered at the cashier, I went back up to the bar to get a 2nd drink. The bartender took 5 minutes to wrap up his conversation with his obvious regulars before he asked me what I needed. I asked for another drink and he told me to sit down and the server would be over. Okay....what server? All it takes is a plastic cup and your condescending attitude to send me on my way. Thanks but no thanks, Durango has way more welcoming places to patronize!! read more

From out of town . The food was pretty good , I had the quesabirria. Would have been better if the waiter came and asked if we needed anything ... like salsa. Waiter never came and asked if we needed anything , instead was on his phone the whole time . Decor is nice that what caught my eye. Would probably just order pick up. read more

What a great place to eat in Durango. Staff is always friendly and fun. Nachos libre is the best but I also tried the shrimp taco this time... incredibly delicious!! I highly recommend this place!! read more

Gluten-free and dairy light eater. We sat outside. Curbside seating is really a Covid positive. I love being outside when the weather is nice. To start I ordered chips and salsa. Any good Mexican restaurant should have good starters. It was great salsa. I kept eating it. Even after I was full from my meal. Good mini tostadas. Had to order two of them to feel more full. I had carne asada meat on mine. The toppings were amazing and really made the tostada. My friend got the fish tostadas. The topping was different and it worked well for the fish. She was happy. read more

Great Mexican food! Super tasty, big menu, great margaritas and FAST service! Much like almost everywhere else in Durango- super friendly service. Don't miss the Pasole and the fried (how do they do it??) ice cream!! read more

Super underwhelming, especially on Cinco de Mayo. No welcome from the host, he barely spoke to us, and couldn't be bothered to answer our questions. It was not crowded, there was no hurry! Food was meh. My order was incorrect, and the brisket meat on my tacos was so dry, even with sauce. The lengua was okay, as was the barbacoa, but flavorless across the board. The tortillas were really good, but that about does it. Oh, the bathrooms were clean. read more

Not as good as I was hoping for. I'm visiting from out of town and the decor caught our eye. The theme is really awesome and they stick to it. The ordering process is confusing tho.

Excellent Baja style Mexican food! The grilled shrimp burrito is excellent and a favorite, the carne asada street tacos are on point. Atmosphere is fun yet casually refined. Staff is friendly. They're doing a great job! Great addition to Durango, love this place!!! read more

Taco Libre - Dinning area. - Mexican Near Me - Durango, Colorado

The food here is actually really good. The only reason I'm giving it a three star is because for some reason they have decided to go back to using plastic cups to serve alcohol in the bar and on the patio. They said they only serve glass in the "back" but I've sat there too and was also denied a glass for a $13 drink. This is lazy and is a slap in the face to all of our efforts over the years to reduce plastic. Durango is full of restaurants that care about our environment. I hope you can see the desire to be a part of that and start using glass again. read more

Food is always exceptional and satisfying same goes with the service all of the staff are super nice and seem like they enjoy working there. I would absolutely recommend trying their el pastor it's fabulous. Definitely one of the best taco restaurants in town real authentic mexican food. this place and Nayarit are definitely tied for best tacos!! read more

Happy was amazing. The nacho's and margaritas very great friendly place and great atmosphere

Food was covered in grease. I got the chips and salsa as an appetizer. The chips were soaked in grease. The salsa was bland and had no flavor or spice. For my main I got the fish tacos. They were OK but, the chips, were also covered in grease. After eating here, my stomach was upset from the grease. Not good. Literally every other Mexican restaurant in Durango is better than this place. Skip it. read more

Inconsistent pricing every.single.time I order the same bloody thing! And, finally I'd had enough--even saved a receipt from a previous visit. I do not get three offerings on the taco--instead trading for sour cream. They charged me $2 for 1/8 cup of it--but sometimes not. When I questioned the other day, the rep said, "Listen, lady, that's the price!" I won't be returning--but I get the impression, they just don't care. All the tourists make it up for the one disappointed local... read more

We stopped by Taco Libre for cocktails and lunch and were impressed immediately by the fun decor! Lucha masks everywhere and plenty of seating. We sat outside on the back patio bc Covid by a heater and the graffiti was awesome back there too! For cocktails I had the Solar at is was DELISH. A little heat and not too sweet. The Lucha Fries were amazing to start with and the flavors were great. We tried as many meats as we could with our order so we got brisket on the fries, I had chorizo and carnitas on my tortas, and carne asada in my boyfriend's burrito. All so yummy! We finished off with two more cocktails and two churros- one plain and one caramel. Perfect size and a great way to top off our meal. Great service, great food, great drinks, and awesome ambiance. GO! read more
