The Navajo taco was great and everything is made to order so very fresh. It is also very authentic. The showstopper was easily the cup of green chili I got. It's the best I've ever had and I've been craving more ever since. Perfectly cooked and flavored with garlic. This place is well worth taking a detour.

The appearance and atmosphere is almost identical to Val's. If you liked Val's you will be happy to know they seem to have kept the best of Val's. I had the Taco Plate as I almost always did at Val's and, with the exception of the chips and salsa, it was just as good as Val's. Unfortunately, they have gone with the traditional chips found in most Mexican restaurants instead of the extra thick and crunchy ones Val's was known for. Definitely want to get over and try their breakfast.

I was pleasantly surprised by my first visit here. You do hear Spanish convos in the back kitchen. This restaurant seems really authentic. The servers were young and able to answer any questions you had about the menu. The food came out in a timely manner. They were good about checking in on us. I personally got to try the AL PASTOR QUESADILLAS. The pork was well marinated. There were 4 pieces with a side of rice, guac & beans. The meal was well balanced. The food itself is delicious here! I also got to try the CHAMANGO. It had every ingredient that it was supposed to have - tajin & chamoy sauce inside with a chunky straw coated with tamarind. This drink has a slightly salty/spicy, tangy & sweet taste all in one. It's more expensive than other drink options here, but it's big in size & well assembled. Overall, this is a solid Mexican spot that you won't be disappointed to try. I believe that everything you order here will be good based on what I tried.

After a full day exploring the vast San Luis Valley, the largest high mountain valley in the world,…read morewe were ready for a good meal. I ordered the taco plate, which was satisfying and, surprisingly, priced like it was still pre-pandemic. In today's world, that alone earns goodwill. A few things could elevate the experience. The main dining area would benefit from better ventilation. Also, the salsa bar clearly meant to be a showcase feature, needs more attention during the day. A quick refresh here and there would go a long way toward presentation and food safety. Things like dried salsa around container rims, a stray floating ramekin lid, and limes that looked like they'd been slowly dehydrating made it feel neglected. Finally, table service should include checking back on drinks. A quick pass to refill or ask if anything's needed would make the service more complete. It was a four-star experience but somewhere I'd consider returning given fairly limited options in Monte Vista. With more attention to detail it could be in competition for a five star rating.

Hubby ordered the bean and beef burritos which were good but not as flavorful as the enchiladas. Rice was a bit too tomato-y for my taste but I think it is more authentic for this region.

Only concern was the restrooms, toilets had dark rings in the toilet and the floors were pretty gross.

What a great somewhat surprise that there was a fully functioning bar at the top of the mountain…read more We were in the town the other day, we had plans to do the Red River Disc Golf Course. After a bit of driving around and calling, we found that we had to take the ski lift to the top of the mountain ridge to play. The ride up was really nice. It was well worth the few bucks to take the ride up and take in the sites. The views were incredible ,and impossible to put into a photo properly. The payoff at the top was about as good. After playing 9 holes we properly stopped into the bar for a round. there were plenty of other people at this spot on the top of a mountain, and it seems like most were just there for the beer. There was even a bachelor party taking place and it was only 11am. I should mention we had on jackets thinking it would be cold but the round got us hot. The place actually ditched our jackets in a cupboard until we were done playing, free of charge. Great spot; I may go again just for the view and the beverage!
