    Carne Asada Burrito smothered in Chile Verde.
    Todd J.

    Carne Asada Burritos Smothered in Chile Verde were delicious. My wife and I stopped in Silverton on our way to Ouray. It was lunch time, so we landed at El Bandito. We will definitely hit this place again next time we are in Silverton. We started with House Margaritas, Chips and Salsa. All of which were very good. Then we had the Carne Asada Burritos Smothered in Chile Verde. I regrettably finished mine. It was delicious, but huge. I was stuffed. My wife took half of hers to go. We would highly recommend this place.

    Ryan was good bartender 100$/10

    Ryan was the best bartender, he saved my child from being run over in the street and then served me the most delicious margarita of my life. Very pleased with the El Bandito.

    Al pastor taco is the way to go.

    I didn't get a pic of my fresh PEACH marg but man oh man these al pastor taco were so flavorful. I certainly ruined my dinner for these. Also, Mario was great - host, bartender, server and owner - holy moly the service!!! This will 10000% be my summer stopping spot each year.

    I came here at the recommendation of my coach driver from Durango. He said he hadn't been here himself, but he heard lots of good things. I sat at the bar and had a great experience. Mario is one of the owners and he waited on me. The chips were huge and very good! I also enjoyed the meal and watermelon margaritas that I got. Yummy!

    The El pork pastor tacos are the best I've ever had in my life! They have amazing salsa and everything is made from scratch. This is my favorite restaurant in silverton by far. I was here a week and ate everywhere and wished I ate here every day. Mario is so personal and nice too! He had a palisade peach margarita special for the day and it was done better than anything in Palasade!

    Chips & Salsa - AMAZING!

    Some of the best food I've had this year. Service was fast and friendly. Servers were fluent in both English and Spanish. The tortillas are homemade and everything was cooked to perfection. Combining the altitude with one of their delicious cocktails can be a wild experience. Totally with the trip. The old west decor fit perfectly with the town.

    Some of the best tacos I've ever had. Hand made everything, tortillas included. Believe it.

    There's so many great places to eat in Silverton so it was hard to choose! We got the pizza here…read moreand it was very very good! Excellent beer choices too. This place is not a far walk from where the train drops off too. The only downfall was the service. Could have been better.

    We walked in with my legitimate medical service dog, who is trained to alert me before medical…read moreepisodes occur. Instead of being welcomed, we were immediately interrogated by the woman at the front, then questioned again by the bartender. We were seated and left sitting there for 30 minutes without a single person taking our order or offering service. Our waitress even apologized and admitted she "hates that she can't help us," making it obvious the staff had intentionally decided not to serve us. Throughout the entire time, my service dog was exactly where a service dog should be--quietly lying under the table at my feet, causing absolutely no disruption. After waiting half an hour, I finally asked if we were ever going to be served. That's when we were told the issue was my service dog. When I questioned this, the bartender's response was to tell me I "didn't need an attitude." I've written maybe five Yelp reviews in my life, but this experience deserves to be shared. The way we were treated was humiliating, discriminatory, and completely unacceptable. It felt like we were being singled out simply because I have a disability and rely on a service animal. All six of us got up and left because of how we were treated. Small businesses deserve support when they treat people with respect. This business did the opposite. I would never recommend this restaurant to anyone, and I sincerely hope no one else has to experience the kind of discrimination we did.
