    Pretty solid meal. They need additional local beers. Salsa could use some help. Yeah.

    Best green chili in Gunnison! Jackie's cooking is wonderful and will do whatever she can to make for a great eating experience.

    "Man, I wish these guys were near us (aka in Denver)."…read more Actual first words after his first bite. Mine were similar: "Omg, me too." Slow cooking. Be ready to wait a bit for your food. They are literally making it when you order. And they're using fresh ingredients. Don't believe me? You can watch them cook your order from our seats at the bar. So, yeah, I promise. Meanwhile, their chips and salsa will keep you busy (fresh, spicy and also one of my favs in a long while too). You can tell a lot by a place's salsa, IMO. The salsa here is house made, daily, I bet, which already tells you a lot. Made daily. Yum. Ok, literally my dude took two bites and made a wish that we could transported these folks to our neck of the woods. I was surprised really, until I had a bite of my spinach enchiladas. Fresh. Well seasoned. Cooked just right (aka, the spinach wasn't slimy, lol). Sooooo very good. Staff were amazing, laid back and super courteous. If we do nothing else when we pass through Gunnison, we will be stopping back by here!

    Food mediocre. I've never had rice that tasted like NOTHING till now! Beans were very runny, no…read moreflavor. Service was really slow and not informative. Had to ask for chips and salsa, so we were unclear whether they would be complimentary or not. (Turns out they were.) Waitress came with the bill on an iPad (after fairly long wait and a 2nd request), without offering for us to review the bill. Just stated the total! Wow. This place could use some help. Sadly, I was really hoping for some delicious, authentic Mexican, and was sorely disappointed. Don't waste your money....there has to be better Mexican somewhere close??? Maybe Montrose (1 hr away?)

    They catered my daughter's wedding in July, 2026. Food was AMAZING! They were wonderful to work…read morewith, great menu suggestions, reasonable pricing compared to other caterers in the area, food was fresh and presentation of food was lovely. I have had more guests tell me that it was the best wedding food that they have ever had. I would highly recommend Burnell's.

    What a find! We were road tripping through the area on our way to Boulder and found this excellent…read morelittle local food truck. Everything was so fresh and tasty. Super friendly service and very accommodating for my no dairy requirements. I had the veggie burger, which was probably the best veggie burger I've ever had. This thing was so fresh tasting, there's no way it was prepared from being frozen. Full of quinoa, corn, etc. super duper delicious remoulade on a really good gourmet bun. Of course, I forgot to take a pic, but, I did manage to document my eating mates selections. See those pics - albeit, half eaten. Upgrade your order to the sweet potato tots, don't even hesitate, they're healthy and come with a mustard seed aioli sauce that makes the whole meal 360 degrees of scrumptiousness. I wish I had room in my pie hole for the donut ice cream sandwich - my only regret. Go off your intended route to try this place. McDonald's and Taco Bell don't need you. There's lovely tables and chairs under the trees that are clean and stocked with napkins and hand sanitizer. A really nice break in our trip!
