The food menu is on the smaller side, but everything sounded pretty good. We weren't super hunger so we shared an appetizer sampler which came with fried green beans with an aioli, chips and guac and salsa and a queso dip. The chips were sooo salty we were having to wipe salt off them before eating, but then the rest of the food lacked salt/flavor. The green beans were decent, and the queso was pretty good. The guac lacked a lot of flavor. Probably wouldn't order again, but for sharing with the table it's a fine option. When we got to our table, it had been freshly cleaned up, but the table was soaking wet still. Service is what brought this up from a 3 to 4 stars for me. From the host to the server, everyone was really happy and friendly and helpful.

It appeared that many of the waitstaff congratulated around the bar area and we had to wait a bit to submit our order. We ordered the Vallarta Margarita which was tasty.

We'll definitely be back to enjoy the food while seated on the huge patio.

In my opinion there's a difference between Mexican and TexMex. The Yelp reviews are not good for this place. That's why I do what I do. I give my honest opinion and don't rely on what others say. So it is, yes it place is more expensive than most Mexican restaurants, it is however in a tourist town so that will explain some of it, but the small things matter to me. I got water served in a glass glass and not those cheesy red plastic cups that never feel clean even if they are. So nice glass #1. Good service #2, fantastic presentation #3 and good tasting food #4 so that's a winner for me. The best tasting Mexican restaurant in town!!! Yes it's more expensive and I'm fine with it being a little more expensive with what I just mentioned. 8.95 for chips and salsa well that's a bit too crazy, when I come from the Dallas area where chips and salsa are free, that's a little hard to swallow. There no apps that are under 15 pretty much a bit crazy. Otherwise my fish taco were really good. I loved the salsa everything had great flavor so this is a winner for me oh and a good selection of nice sipping Tequilas

The chips and salsa were free and they get them out to you quickly when you want to get started sitting down and getting drinks.

Service was amazing. For our appetizer we got this fried cheese with chorizo on it and omg it was to die for. It came w corn tortillas so you could make your own little cheese roll up. It was so good I ordered it the next night. For dinner I got just a taco and tostada and my husband got the carne asada and the flavor on that steak was mouth watering and so tender and juicy. This place over all was great CANT believe I almost passed it up because it didn't look good. Wont be doing that again.

The first time was very good but the second was even better. Our server, Ramis, was excellent. He was very friendly and told us about his summer internship in the US as a foreign student. His story was very interesting and we wish him the best of luck. Besides excellent service, the food was outstanding. The wife had the beef stroganoff and loved it. There was a lot of tender meat and the dish was very flavorful. I had the reuben and it was excellent. One of the best I have had. The fries were crispy and coated with a delicious seasoning. I also had a cup of the soup of the day, beef with vegetables and barley. It was very good and I was inspired to make my own after we returned. I again had the IPA and the wife had the peach lager and both were excellent. We visit Estes every two years or so and this place will definitely be on list the next time we are in Estes.

It was prime rib night and i was excited to order. The prime rib was blah and unseasoned. The baked potato was good. My husband ordered the pork tenderloin sandwich and it was not good.

The place is definitely small inside, but it had a nice atmosphere and the service was really good from start to finish. For appetizers, we ordered the chips, queso, and salsa. The queso was definitely different from what I'm used to, but it actually wasn't bad at all. I ordered the street tacos -- three carne asada and two chicken -- topped with cilantro and onions, plus an extra al pastor taco because I wanted to try it. Out of all of them, the al pastor was my favorite. The meat was super tender and flavorful. I wasn't a huge fan of the mango on it though; I would've preferred pineapple instead, but I just picked the mango out and still enjoyed it. My husband and I also shared a side of rice and beans. The beans were decent, although a little salty. The rice, unfortunately, was the low point for me. It honestly had almost no flavor and kind of tasted burnt. I definitely wouldn't order the rice again. Overall, the food was decent and the service was great. I wouldn't necessarily go out of my way to eat here again, but it was still a solid stop while spending the day in Estes.
