    Teriyaki pork
    Riley B.

    This was truly one of the best restaurants I have ever been to. Shortly after we walked in we were welcomed and offered the choice of sitting indoors or on the patio, we chose the patio. Our server (unfortunately I don't remember his name) asked if we wanted a wine list but we decided against it (my grandmother ended up getting the cab later, one of the smoothest wines she has ever had and it was only 6 dollars). He brought out our antipasto which was a tomato pesto (forgot the name unfortunately), sheep cheese, and Chinese 5 seasoned pork with fresh bread, truly delicious. Our appetizer choices were house salad or New England clam chowder, my grandmother got the salad I got the clam chowder, I have to admit I was a little skeptical when it came out, I prefer a thicker clam chowder, but this was truly one of the best clam chowders I have ever had, and I am from a costal state. My grandmother loved her salad. It is an entirely verbal menu, he gave us 7ish (maybe 8 lol) different options, I went with the Duck confit with a blackberry currant glaze, jasmine rice, and brown beech mushroom and green bean. My grandmother had the teriyaki pork loin chop on jasmine rice paired with the beech mushroom and green beans. I have been to France, Italy, Germany, the UK, Gordon Ramseys Hell's Kitchen, and other Michelin restaurants. When I say this is truly the best piece of poultry I have ever consumed, I mean it. It was tender but not mushy, the rice was cooked perfectly and the glaze brought just enough sweetness and tartness to balance the fat from the duck. It was one of the only meals I have ever consumed and absolutely loved every aspect of. I don't even like mushrooms and I ate every single one. My grandmother loved her food, she has been having some slight stomach issues and she said it felt very good to her body. The loin was evidently pulled just before 145, allowing it to rest and remain extra, extraordinarily juicy and tender, the teriyaki sauce was sweet but not too sweet, it had just the perfect amount of tang as well as notes of ginger I believe. For desert we had the crème brûlée which was extraordinary, one of the best I have ever had. I talked with the head chef (he went to a culinary school in Scottsdale Arizona), and he was a very kind man who brought out our crème brûlée personally to us. If you are hearing all of this and thinking "man this is out of my price range" it is priced at $40 dollars for the antipasto, the soup/salad, and the entree, which is absolutely ludicrous for this quality of food, they could easily charge 60-80 a plate. I highly recommend you give this place a try.

    My family has been coming to La Veta every summer for almost 30 years now. We're from Dallas & Houston and love having a getaway out in the country, but it's always so wonderful to a nice out with a truly fine meal! The service is always immaculate; everyone is kind and Aly herself is always wonderful to chat with when she has the time. It has gorgeous patio and indoor seating, a fabulous wine selection, and I believe is wheelchair accessible as well. I have nothing but positive things to say about this place! Thank you Aly for so many summers of wonderful memories! P.S. the bathroom is SO CUTE

    We've heard about Alys' Restaurant from friends raving about her food. They were spot on, maybe even undersold it. I started with the soup which was delicious and light. For my entree I ordered the ravioli with mushrooms and side of corn and it was amazing. Homemade ravioli with a mushroom ragu that was rich and flavorful. My friends had the T-bone steaks and said they were tender & cooked to perfection. I had the homemade apple cake for dessert and wish I had Alys' recipe, it was delicious. Definitely make a reservation as it's a small restaurant with wonderful staff, great art and of course, the infamous Alys.

    A hidden gem in La Veta, Colorado. We visited on a whim while camping near Cuchara and were delighted to find a warm atmosphere, delicious food, and second-to-none service. The menu is relayed verbally by the servers and it included a nice selection of beef, fish, lamb, and a no-meat option. A very nice (and reasonably priced) wine list had something to satisfy any taste. Overall, Bravo! We'll be back.

    Prices?? I don't see them anywhere!

    no prices and no menu. prices are reasonable for what you get. Around upper $20s to mid 40s. Depends on what you order. It will be worth it. Desserts were $5 and a steal.

The cooks in the back were on point and couldn't have been more impressed with how they all were in-sync with each other. All family vibes in the kitchen. Which is what I wanna feel in a restaurant. It makes you feel right at home. I've been to a few spots here in Pueblo for Baja tacos and anything shrimp. I wasn't staying too hopeful. Low and behold we found a GREAT one!! Tried the baja tacos and aquachiles as well as the bacon wrapped chiles per the front servers recommendation. Honestly, super glad I ordered them. Was not disappointed.

Ordered a chicken, steak, and fish taco with a side of rice and beans as well as the bean and cheese burrito. The fish taco had A LOT of veggie toppings which I apprecite but the fish got lost in them and the taco had an overall fishy taste in not the best way. The chicken and steak tacos were fine as were the rice and beans. The bean burrito is huge. I enjoyed it more the second day reheated as the cheese was able to melt more cohesively through the beans. I also had a horchata which was ok but too sweet for me, even watered down during the delivery transport it was overly sweet. Four stars is probaly a little generous but I would try again if in the area to order fresh made.

The best Boudin Balls I've ever had, fried right on the outside, with savory tender sausage and rice on the inside. Shrimp Po'boy to die for, (and that "Oh-lawd" sauce is no joke), delicious, fresh, and huge! I haven't dug into my Muffuletta yet, but I have no doubt that it will be as delicious as the rest of their food. Between the food, the ambiance, and the friendly folks, Homer's Gumbo Pot is a must, for authentic, delicious Cajun food. Stop in! You won't be disappointed!

It's just a step outside of the main business areas of downtown Canon City, but it is worth the 4-5 min extra drive. As any travel expert would say, you always find the right food places away from the town center. Okay to the food, mind blown. Wife hailing from the gulf coast has exceeding high expectations of Cajun/creole foods so I was preparing for the worst. However to both of our surprise, the food passed judgement with flying colors. The shrimp Po'boy was massive with the perfect amount of shrimp and toppings that kept it a traditional "make your tongue slap the back of your throat" Po'boy! My wife ordered the gumbo which brought the heat and flavors that satisfied her desire to eat something that reminded her of home. All in all, it made her pass out on the way back home. You know that's a good meal! If you are in these parts, I highly recommend you come and visit and give Marcus (owner) and family a hello. They would welcome your business

    Our group each had one of "The Classics". Beef stroganoff…read moretasted okay but very little meat.. Given the word "classic", I was expecting long thinly sliced beef , this was small chunks of beef. When I see "Classic Fried Chicken" on a menu, I would expect crispy pan fried bone in chicken... like what my mom made. This Fried chicken consisted of two roundish chunks of boneless white meat breaded in bread or corn meal, picture "shake--n-bake" consistency. Truly tasted like eating cheap frozen breaded boneless chicken. No flavor. No seasoning , not even salt/pepper. The gravy was pale yellow.. NOT at all like CLASSIC freshly made/home made pan chicken gravy, with chunks of the crispy fried pieces from the pan . This seemed more like something out of a jar.. I subbed seasonal vegetable instead of mashed potatoes. The only thing we ordered that was delicious, Cauliflower and Romanesque . Although when asked prior to ordering , the server said the seasonal vegetable was Romanesque, I was surprised that it was a blend with cauliflower...mainly cauliflower, very few Romanesque The fish and chips looked and tasted like Long John Silver's fast food. Two chunks of fish batter fried. The chips seemed like bulk frozen fries. The person who ordered the fish/chip ate very little of it. The bar drinks were good, on their own, those would be 4 stars. , I ordered the mocktail Butterfly Lemonade. It was a lovely shade of lavender, but was like drinking pure bottled lemon juice mixed with some sparkling water. Zero sweetness, even though simple syrup was the second ingredient stated in the ingredients. We sent that drink back. Server was very nice. Outdoor seating was pleasant.Those elements would be 4 star.
