It was a wonderful atmosphere gorgeous day. What was interesting is there wasn't a lot of people there and I don't think I got a number or anything and she was just like I'll bring it to you and the English was a little bit broken and I thought I miss heard but she insisted that she would bring it out and coming from major cities typically you have a number or a buzzer or something And I didn't get anything so I had no idea what they said wasn't going to come or not and lo and behold about five minutes later she pops up and it's perfect.... It was really nice to slow down and remember that society functions just fine without 1 million gadgets. and that if people say they got you they got you and Durango is one of those towns where they got you

Fast casual restaurant with a fun indoor seating area with various versions of Mexican wrestlers on display. We went with the shrimp, chicken, and steak tacos and my only complaint was their size as you need to adjust your seating to be able to get one of these in your mouth. Chips and salsa are solid with a salsa consisting of grilled chilis and spices. The Michelada was a nice surprise arriving with a spicy fruit roll-up straw and was great. Their margaritas lineup is fantastic with a list of unique and tasty combos. Service was quick as we had barely sat down when our food was starting to arrive at the table.

Service was great as well! Welcoming and helpful staff. When in Durango, a great choice. N*joy!

Lucky for me, they had so many food options from all the food trucks and a bar at the center. I decided to eat at the slider food truck and ordered one fliet mignon slider and the Cajun fries. They give you a buzzer to let you know when the order is ready. During that time, we walked around to some of the other food trucks to check out their menus. We ended up grabbing at table just in time before we experienced torrential rain. Mind you, it had been sunny and 78 degrees just five minutes before and suddenly was freezing. Well, my version of freezing. Finally the buzzer went off and my sister picked up my order. We all shared the Cajun fries because the portion was definitely shareable and they were so good. The filet slider really impressed me! The blue cheese and caramelized onions were the perfect touch. I'll definitely be coming back here next time I'm in Durango!
