We were in town for my cousin's wedding and we stopped by here twice. Once before the rehearsal dinner and once when we just had some time to kill. The taco special with the margarita was so good!! Their margaritas are strong and amazing. I also tried the lover's lane and the nachos. Everything was great. Love the vibe in here. You will have to find parking on the street but it was fine. read more

HIDDEN FEES of $3.50 PER PERSON entertainment fee - - - wasn't even a band, was just a bad guitar player. We only found out about the fee when we got the bill. Whatever happened to a cover charge that you pay when you entered an establishment with music, and it was your choice to come in and pay or not. Had the queso fries and it was not queso, just grated cheese with jalapeños. Will not return. read more

Standard dining, standard service. Music was a bonus, but didn't realize it when we sat down. Next thing we know we each paid a cover charge. We didn't want to be rude and leave, but I wouldn't have say down, otherwise. None the less, music was enjoyable. read more

Where is the service? - - - Stopped in with a couple of friends around 3:00 pm Sunday. They were not busy. We sat at a table and no employee even acknowledged us so we had to go up to the bar to order. There was a guitar player near the stage, was too loud and not very good. When we got the bill, they added $3.50 per person for an entertainment fee. No where did we see the fee posted. We went to The Townhouse and they had a guitar player with a jar for tips.

We heard that they have live music on Saturday nights at the Armadillo Ranch so we headed there after dinner to check the place out. The place it pretty loud with the band playing and was a little difficult to order cocktails at the bar, but once we got them we found the only table open and claimed it as ours. The band was pretty good and we stayed for a little bit. I went to use the restroom and one of the 2 stalls had the toilet completely ripped apart. I have a picture of it that I am sharing here. Kind of off putting for a restaurant. We didn't eat here, so I cannot speak to the food but overall the place was meh to me. read more

Armadillo Ranch is perfectly located in the heart of Manitou Springs, but it was a far from enjoyable experience. To start off, it took us over 10 minutes to just get menus. After receiving menus, it took another 15 minutes to get our drinks and be able to order some food. After we ordered, it took over 40 minutes to get our food (quesadillas and chicken tenders), and we were highly disappointed in the subpar excuse for food, especially the burnt chicken tenders. I don't know if our poor experience was due to our waitstaff openly taking shots behind the bar, or if this is just how they operate things here, but we will not be returning and we don't recommend. read more

We were staying in Manitou Springs on our way to Pikes Peak, Florrisant, and Eleven Mile Canyon. After walking around and looking at all the city had to offer, we decided to eat an early dinner at Armadillo Ranch. Our server was new, so there were some errors, but she was sweet and apologetic. They had a nice craft beer selection. We chose the Milk Stout from Left-Handed Brewery. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich. It was delicious. Later into the meal, they hand a band playing which was a nice touch. My only complaint was that I wish they had air conditioning. read more

This place had decent live music and an great atmosphere. We basically had already met everyone there from bar hopping up and down the street after the parade. The service was ok but they were admittedly swamped so I don't wanna be too hard on them. We were waiting for a bit for our food only to find out somebody snagged it so they had to remake our sandwiches and wings pretty quick ‍. Either way I would come back and check out more live music.

Ok- 3 nights in Man Springs- we ate here twice! Food was great - but every employee we came was crazy hospitable. Like - it's not the norm- these folks are legit. Night 1: One employee was off-work /walking out the door & she turned around to take care of us and got us a seat. Food was great. My wife & I played Domino's at our table...asked the waiter to bring us a pen & some paper... he reaches over and grabs a pen and ticket notebook to keep score on! Thats kind of hospitality that makes you come back.- btw- I lost the pen and he brought us another one! Night 2: We showed up 9:45p maybe??..Lady behind the bar bounced out and took care of us - took orders and brought us the food & drink. She never acted "put out" and was very polite. As a customer, the experience in a place relies on those serving you- this joint did not disappoint. Btw- we missed the Music both nights because we didn't check ahead. We heard a band rehearse. They sounded legit. Eat here. if you're cool - you'll be happy. read more

The service is crap. Upon entering, I walked to the bar and they were so busy chatting that I was ignored. And even when I began asking a question, I was interrupted by another server/bartender. First impressions are everything. I know this sounds harsh but let's be real, service is half the reason you go to a restaurant in the first place. And even if it's not half the reason, it usually makes or breaks your dining experience. I don't pay you to give me subpar service. I didn't bother even getting food, but I ordered a drink. Guy never came by at any point during my 2+ hours there to check on me. Maybe it's because I only ordered a drink? Idk. It's a cute spot in the heart of Manitou Springs, but would I come back again? Probably not. My friend was performing with his band at Armadillo Ranch so that was really the only reason I drove half an hour to this place. Let's just say it's NOT worth going out of your way for unless they have some incredible live music going on that night. TLDR; My recommendation: HARD PASS read more

When you order an Italian sandwich, you expect either an Italian or French baguette type bread. This was more like a big hotdog bread that was just pulled out of the refrigerator. Maybe something you can buy in Costco or something. Just very disappointed. I wanted to give a mom and Pop shop a chance instead of going to Jimmy John's or something like that. But I can honestly say Jimmy John's makes a much better sandwich. That said, the service was good and the people were very nice. At the end of the day I spent $40 on two sandwiches and ice cream.

I have to say, as a food truck, I know you roam, but it's picturesque for you when you're in manitou. But really Tava could be anywhere and I'd come. Food: The food was fresh and cooked to order. Comes with the territory I would assume when you order from a food truck? Admittedly I don't do it often, but apparently I need to. We received the fearless goddess sandwich, a peach smoothie, a berry smoothie and their soup special the tomato bisque. Oh! The fearless goddess came with a side as well so we got the sweet potato fries. The sandwich had fresh jalapeños on it and it added the perfect kick of spice needed to break up how decadent the sandwich was. The sweet potato fries were crispy and the aioli was a great addition to dip them in. The smoothies were refreshing and tasted of real fruit. Don't at me, I've had many a smoothie that tasted artificial. The soup was perfect for my daughter, she loves soup of all sorts. It was warm and cozy. We eat soup all year long in my house hold so I was happy. We enjoyed the seating area outside that had misters going to help cool things down as well. It was a very chill place to watch dogs play across the street at the park, catch some sun and enjoy some great food. This is a solid spot for either lunch or dinner honestly. Your choice.

The Fearless Goddess sandwich - so this event was advertised as being on the healthier side... this sandwich is more on the killer-delicious side.

It's huge (for me, anyway), so I enjoyed half and saved the other half for lunch the next day, which was just right. The berry smoothie - another win! It's not cloyingly sweet, and the yogurt and berries had plenty of tang. Creamy yum. I also saved half for the next day, in the freezer, and it thawed just fine. The soup - sandwiches come with a side, so I chose the tomato basil bisque. It was more creamy than veg-tomatoey, and needed a hit of pepper. Not my favorite ever, but my daughter inhaled it. It's enough for a lunch on its own, or in two portions as a side. Overall - pretty good stuff and I will probably head back to try more of the offerings here. It's a solid choice in Manitou!

My husband ordered the buffalo chicken sandwich and he said it was very tasty and the coleslaw was excellent as well I ordered the Southwest quinoa salad with added grilled chicken, I did ask for a 2nd serving of chimichurri sauce, and it was very tasty My niece had the veggie burger and she said it was very good- It was huge and she had to take half of it home. The craft beers were very tasty and I had a glass of wine as I'm not much of a beer drinker They do have a cute outdoor patio as well. Service was attentive, and if we were in the area would definitely be back. Total bill was about $130 before tip and included a total of four entrées, five beers and a glass of wine The menu both for beer and food is QR code so I have uploaded the food menu so you can see what they have. My understanding is the beers to change on rotation.

We were in town and looking for good beer and dinner. Stopped by and while outside seating was…read morefull, we were able to grab a table inside immediately. Our server was super helpful, patient and answered multiple questions. She was a bright spot! The Manitou Burger with cheese was good. It came with chips which were nice but I wish they had fries. Love all the sauces came on the side. My daughter ordered the plain white Mac and Cheese and while I liked it, she didn't like it all. It was too different of a flavor to make this work for most kids. The nachos are huge and queso was delicious. Enjoyed the beer. We wanted to sit outside but it was full. Inside was nice but the music was just way too loud for a decent table conversation. Pro Tip: no kids menu. Server said most kids order plain burger with cheese or plain Mac and cheese or the street tacos plain.

The food was absolutely delicious and full of authentic Arabic flavors. The falafel was a standout: fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. I also really enjoyed the chicken--it was seasoned well and very satisfying. The beef wasn't my favorite, but it was still good, and the rice paired nicely with everything. The service was really friendly and welcoming, and even though the place was quite busy, the food came out fresh and well prepared. That alone tells me this spot is popular for a reason. Overall, a great find and a perfect stop after a day of exploring. I would definitely come back to eat here again.
