They started us off with complimentary chips and salsa. The salsa was really good! The waiter was very attentive and took our orders promptly. Food came out rather quickly. I ordered the cheese enchilada which came with rice and beans. The enchilada needed more sauce as it was dry and too cheesy. More sauce would fix that. The beans and rice were ok. I wasn't expecting the most amazing Mexican food being from Texas but this was alright. My husband's burrito looks really good and he very much enjoyed it. Prices are very reasonable. All the buildings in Fairplay are historical so it's super neat to dine at some of these places. We all very much enjoyed our meals and would return.

The "healthy" menu wasn't just an afterthought--it was outstanding. The quesadilla espinaca and enchilada de espinaca were fresh, rich, and seriously satisfying.

This place is a must-visit--we're already looking forward to our next trip back!

I've been coming to Empire Edge Grill for years and it never disappoints…read more My go-to order is the Empire breakfast sandwich and it is so good. I get it on ciabatta with bacon and their bacon is actually quality crispy, flavorful, not flimsy. The chipotle aioli is what really makes it though. So good. Heads up: this sandwich is big. Like, if you're not a big eater, you could easily split it. I didn't even finish mine and gave about a quarter to my mom It's perfect if you're about to have an active day and need something filling. I also ordered a medium matcha with vanilla and my total came out to about $20, which is a little pricey in my opinion but the portion size makes up for it. The matcha was good, but quick tip: if you like your drinks sweet, make sure to ask for sugar or flavor. I always forget and end up with a bitter drink lol. Everyone here is always super nice and welcoming. I genuinely have nothing bad to say about this place. I go here often and already plan to be back in a couple weeks. Solid food, big portions, good vibes. Highly recommend.

You head to the back counter where you place your food order, and then you can head over to a table to sit and wait for the food to be ready. Once its ready, you head up to the counter to collect your food. The restaurant portion is real cute. They have some colorful tables and chairs which give it a nice Mexico vibe. Once you get your food, you can head over to the salsa bar and add all the additional toppings your heart desires. They have all kinds of sauces from spicy to mild and even have jalapenos and sliced radishes. I got an asada taco and a barbacoa taco and they were both delicious. But my favorite was the barbacoa. It had so much flavor and it was so juicy. I also got an horchata and it was perfect. One of the best I've had! The grocery side itself offers a huge variety of goodies you can find in Mexico including candy which is always what I look for!

A truly authentic Mexican place. It's half market where I found a lot of Mexican products where I…read morecan't find in regular stores and only find in Mexico. Just that is a plus. The other half of the place is the restaurant. It's more like a small cafe which delivers authentic vibes but very humble. Food was amazing. We had their tacos and I had the burrito which was huge and packed with beef, rice, beans and guacamole. I had it with the loaded sauce on top. So basically you order your food and pick up once you're called. We tried their horchata and it was so delicious. Just the right touch of sweetness. Definitely a hidden gem but remember I rated this for their food and service. This is a humble authentic place.

All items were worth trekking here from anywhere in Colorado to eat. The quality of ingredients and overall amazing flavor was surprising to come from a small mountain town. Ambiance: cozy, well decorated, great playlist and a good bar make for an excellent experience Service: Sara was so welcoming, sweet and knowledgeable. Seems like everyone working here takes pride in being a part of this place which then makes being here even more inviting. Highly recommend (especially bc they stock Coca Cola products and Dos Equis!)

My fiance got the chimichanga and man did he get his moneys worth! Massive chimi and he really enjoyed it. We had chips and salsa to start and the salsa was quite tasty. Coincidentally, the couple next to us had ordered the same dishes! So, maybe we got two of the more popular items on the menu. We didn't get drinks this time, but may have to try a margarita when we come back. Service was friendly and attentive. Definitely a spot worth checking out if you're in town. Plus, LOTS of great options for a variety of dietary needs, like vegan and vegetarian!

This restaurant didn't change much from the Moe's decor. It still felt like Moe's to me except Mexican food and a lot less crowded. The food was decent. Large portions for a good price for Vail.

I hope they don't get expensive and realize they can up their prices because it's Vail.

I order Benedicts ALL the time, and this one was seriously so good. The hollandaise sauce was absolutely delicious. One of those meals where you take a bite and immediately know you made the right choice. We ended up cleaning our plates way quicker than we expected. Definitely glad we stopped here.

They were a bit overwhelmed when we asked for a table and took down our number to let us know when one was ready but never got a call.

Thats when the server said that there was tequila in the drink. In shock, I repeated what she said and told her I gave a couple sips to my children. Then proceed to ask what their mocktails entailed because any mocktail I know does not have alcohol in there. Also to mention that there signs say "safe for kids"
