I stayed overnight in Farmington and was on my way to eat at Hometown Hamburgers and noticed a…read morepacked parking lot here. I got to the hamburger joint only to find out it is drive through/takeout only. So I returned here and managed to snag a parking spot that had just opened up.. It looked promising from the big smiles on people leaving. I went in and the large party just in front of me was just getting seated. But it took me a while to get seated because I wasn't noticed. Once seated, it took another long while for a server to appear with chips and a very tasty salsa which proved the best part of the meal. Looking over the menu and the "tourist"Mexico decor and colors, I could tell it was distributor-driven. The beers and the desserts had obviously been distributor "suggestions". My experience over the last 35 years eating out on the road several hundred times a year made it obvious. I decided on a burrito plate and asked the server which chile was spiciest. He said the red was very spicy so I went with the burrito chile colorado. C'mon dude, this is New Mexico! That chile wasn't spicy at all! Utterly bland is the word! So dinner was a big disappointment.. When I was done, I was asked if I wanted dessert. I asked if anything was homemade. Nothing. It all came industrially produced by a food service company. This place is not my style. I won't be back.

Dialed in. Attentive without hovering, and genuinely helpful when navigating their very tempting margarita menu. I went all in with both the Mamasita and Papasita...no regrets. Creative, well-balanced, and dangerously easy to sip. Chips came out warm and freshly fried (always a good sign), and the sizzling queso hit that perfect salty, melty note you hope for but don't always get. The avocado stuffed with shrimp starter was a standout: fresh, colorful, and a nice lighter contrast before diving into the mains. And speaking of mains... the Seafood Diablo absolutely delivered. Packed with shrimp, fish, mussels, and squid, and finished with just the right amount of heat to keep things interesting without overwhelming the flavors. If you're in Durango and want something that's a little more lively than the usual lineup, this place brings both personality and flavor. Definitely worth a stop.

This appears to be a home converted into a restaurant. It's cute and the Frida theme throughout the restaurant is a nice touch. Tables are closely placed to be able to accommodate more people so don't expect your conversation to be private. We could hear all the conversations loud and clear as if we were at the same table. Food wise my son got the burger and fries from the kids menu. He loved it. The fries were delicious and crispy. We also ordered the quesadilla. That was very greasy and the grease was dripping everywhere and messy. The carne asada burrito was ok. I had the combo with the taco, tamale, and cheese enchilada. Everything was delicious except for the cheese enchilada. The cheese was already hard by the time I bit into it so it was hard to cut up and chew. I am used to cheese enchiladas being cheesy and melted. Service was excellent. They always made sure we had everything we needed and was quick. When the server messed up on my taco order he brought out the correct taco without me having to tell him it was the wrong type and said it was his mistake and wasn't going to charge for the correct taco. Overall 4 stars because it is a bit noisy. Food was good. Excellent service. Service definitely makes an ok experience better.

I wanted one rice and one black bean and one refried. He just scooped 2 rice in the one scoop of refried I asked for. I had said I wanted 1, 1, 1 didn't know it was extra and then continued to just talk rude about me to his coworkers as they all giggled in spanish. Maybe don't talk shit about the customer in Spanish, especially when it's a white boy that knows Spanish very well. Made me very uncomfortable. then up charged me and didn't just honor the mess up. One of the gentlemen was being nice and so I started talking in Spanish to him and so he was nice. Lady that checked me out, seemed to get mad at me for asking for another chip even though I got nachos and a naked burrito and they say it's free chips. I got two things, thought I would get two chips. It just was not respectful in any way, I hadn't been here before they knew that. But good way to have me not want to come back. Portions weren't impressive either. Food was good, but idk the way I was treated and spoken about right in front of my face was beyond disrespectful. And then to just up charge me still. Thank you to the First Gentleman that explained how it worked, and the gentleman that I spoke in Spanish with. However I'm probably Never coming back.

"Amy moves like a quiet tide between tables, balancing plates like small, shining moons. Her smile is warm bread, her voice a soft clink of glasses at dusk. She knows who wants lemon, who needs a moment, who came in carrying the weight of a long day. She sets it down gently beside the forks. The ice is good here-- clear, bright, and singing in every cup, little crystals that catch the light like laughter you didn't expect. And the food-- oh, the food arrives like a promise kept: golden, fragrant, alive with comfort, each bite a reason to stay a little longer. Amy drifts through it all, steady as a heartbeat, turning hunger into something softer-- something like home"

The wait for a table was about 30 minutes, but we spent the time walking around the area, so it went by quickly. Once seated, we found ourselves in a tiny dining room and bar with walls covered in license plates from different states. We turned it into a fun little "I Spy" game while waiting for our food. We started with the Chips and Salsa Fresca, which was fresh and delicious. For our main meal, we ordered tacos -- the #1 El Diablo, #5 Esteban Special, and #6 Fish Tacos. The chipotle sauce on the El Diablo was phenomenal, and the grilled fish in the fish tacos was some of the tastiest I've had. The staff was fantastic as well. My daughter ordered the Chips w/ Cheese (nachos) from the kids' menu and unfortunately didn't like them at all. When we mentioned it to our server, she genuinely cared and quickly made things right by removing the item from our bill. Next time I'm in Pagosa, I'll definitely be coming back to this gem of a place.
