    Carnitas tacos with tortilla chips.
    John F.

    Stopped in here upon the recommendation of a friend of a friend, and we enjoyed our meals. The special that day was carnitas, so my wife tried it in a bowl, while I had two carnitas tacos. Very tasty, fresh ingredients, and the tortilla chips we ordered on the side were really good. There's a decent amount of seating in the light and bright interior. I appreciated that the menu explained the pretty high cost of the fish products (such as the fish tacos) due to supply chain issues, and that they plan to bring the price down again once that changes. Very nice touch. The carnitas special, though, was a really good deal. I would definitely stop in here again the next time I'm in Durango.

    We had plan to skip the dinner due to super duper heavy buffet in downtown. But while evening walk , we stumbled on this restaurant. Not sure how but this trip to Durango has been food special. All our restaurant selections shined like anything. So , talking about this place. Insanely delicious and heck of cheap. So crowded but that's what talks about this restaurant being one of the best. We took salad bowl with baja fried fish. Best ever salad bowl we tried. Staff is super helpful. He went through and explained all the available options to customize the bowl and end output was damn finger licking.

    This is a must-do for anyone who hasn't tried this spot in Durango! We make a point to stop anytime we're in the area. There are several "build your own" options as well as some other items, like tamales and Baja tacos. I usually get a rice or salad bowl and load it with black beans, chicken, lettuce, cheese, and pico. I tried their salsa verde this time, which was really flavorful, but also quite spicy! I didn't mind, but it's definitely one of their hotter salsas. Some of my other favorite things to get here, though not pictured, are their quesadillas and burritos. The service here is always quick, so don't be deterred if the line seems long. They move through everyone quickly and there's usually plenty of seating, especially at this location. They also seem to have gotten a distillery on the upstairs level, though we didn't check that out. There's also a ton of parking compared to the other Zia's location, so we had no issues finding a space. Definitely don't miss this local Durango flavor!

    Carne Asada bowl

    Very popular local Chipotle-like restaurant. The food was all fresh and delicious. I liked it so much that I ate here twice! Friday night I had the "Friday Special" which was a bowl with spicy shrimp and black beans on cilantro lime white rice, with a Modelo Especial to drink. Saturday I had a bowl with Carne asada, black beans, white cilantro lime rice, lettuce, pico, guac, white cheese and chips, with another Modelo. I loved it because it was filling without it being greasy. These were healthy dinners after a day of hiking.

    Outside appearance just okay looking.

    Mexican fast food. Good ingredients, clean and well lit environment. Dine-in or take out. Inexpensive, good value. Pleasant service.

    The quality of the food at both locations has dropped significantly. We are really disappointed and rarely stop anymore.

    Zia is always a solid contender. They're also local and pay their employees correctly.

    Great local taco and burrito place. I think the pulled pork is best. Worth the stop if you are in Durango.
