Spicy margarita was amazing, very small for $16.  Ground beef taco. Non cooked tortilla, the green salsa was store bought and not spicy.
Kim G.

The service was amazing, I was expecting a Mexican place but it was for sure a dive bar. They make some great margaritas and they don't use store bought juices which is great! The tacos are happy hour buy 2 get one free but they are very high priced. The corn tortilla was not even cooked.. just out of the bag which was weird to me.. I'm not from Colorado so I was hoping for street tacos but once you have some drinks you'll want to try the beer battered fish taco for sure. I with they didn't have to have it battered for GLUTEN FREE, but the beef is good! Cute little small bar with a few tables. They have interesting signs up that are funny, great place to hangout with a friend and get a quick drink. Just bring $$$$$$$ it's expensive! $16 margaritas and they are pretty small. I wish they had frozen margarita machines.

Margs
Brad W.

Margaritas were way better than food. The $20 one with the floater and fresh OJ was great. The rice and beans which they forgot, but then remembered we're miserable. Tacos were mostly mid with not enough meat choices. Drink here, but good guacamole.

Chips and salsa trio
Sarah F.

Nice patio to people watch. Happy hour was a pretty ok deal: $5 tequila pour, buy 2 (of exactly the same) tacos and get one free. The pork tacos were just ok. The pork seasoning was a little strange with an imbalance of flavors. It was a little soggy. The salsa trio was the also just ok. The medium salsa has a flavor imbalance. Of good note: GUACAMOLE was great. Chips were good Happy hour Location They have MALORT if that's your thing. Nice place for drinks, and the food will fill you, but it will just whelm you. In short, if you want a nice place to hang

Bison Calle DC tacos
Kateryna F.

If you're in downtown Breck, this taqueria and bar is a must-visit! The Bison Calle DC taco with its double shell and queso is hands-down our favorite--absolutely delicious. The house margaritas are strong, citrusy, and pair perfectly with their impressive variety of tequila. While the spot is on the smaller side, it's just the right size for the area. The service is consistently excellent--friendly, approachable, and efficient. With its chill vibes and great food, this place is a gem!

Tacos
Dana K.

This is a really great tequila and mezcal bar located downstairs from Kenosha on Main Street in Breckenridge. The music is loud, but you can still have a conversation. There's a bar as well as tables. Happy hour is twice per day, 11-1 and 4-6. They serve tacos, chips and salsa, and burritos. They even have a couple of desserts. The bartender, Jesse, knows a lot about all the tequilas and mezcals that they have. The drinks are always perfect; and you can do some fancy shots as well! Friendly staff! You won't be disappointed!

Menu

We came in for happy hour and dinner after a day of skiing. Service was good very friendly. Food was solid. Nothing spectacular. We got the happy hour tacos, which were supposed to be on special buy two to get one at a discount but the way we ordered and they rang it we ended up getting overcharged, but instead of saying anything I just went on about my way. The margaritas were solid. Not sure we'll be back as the food was adequate but not great.

We went in on St Patrick's day. We started at a table but moved to the bar. Drinks were great! Food was great! Bartenders (Joe & Anders) were awesome!!

Beer / Marg
Savanna R.

We stopped in for drinks - which were really great! The Pura Vida margaritas was my personal fav. They said everything is fresh squeezed, and you can definitely taste the difference! Staff were very friendly. Cute spot!

Chicken Tacos
Adam M.

Well the place was cool and they are a really solid selection of tequila. Seems like a cool place to grab a drink but the food leaves a lot to be desired. The chicken tacos were blah and even the chips and guacamole were sub-average. Cool spot to grab a drink but maybe grab food elsewhere

Tequila bar

Coming from Texas, my family has high expectations when it comes to margaritas and tacos, and this place was freaking amazing!!!! Not only was the food amazing, the service was even better! Freshly squeezed lime juice for the margaritas put them at the top of the list for me. The ground beef on the nachos was so tender and flavorful, and it came with so much! The burrito is huge and the tacos were filled with so much meat. Texas approved! This place is great!!

Espicy and La Lalolita with a side of ancho to take it up a bit more
Donna G.

LOVE it here This is the best, friendliest and most sincere staff in town. I start with this info as it is super important to me that I get happy service. Taco Oh Hell yes!!!! Best and probably the cheapest tacos in town. Margaritas are their jam!! They all know their stuff. Lots of regular cocktails/Margs on their menu but they are always making up great new creations too. Next time your there have the Gardiablo or the E-Spicy. Tell them you want it Donna's way though !! Hahaha they will probably growl but will make it and you'll love it

Fashionable in Breckinridge
Shelly P.

We absolutely loved the atmosphere! The staff of fun, helpful and made our evening! We went to another restaurant nearby and waited 20 min with no one to greet or wait on us. We came in here and we were treated professionally, kindly and the food was fantastic!!! From the front of the house to the back, great restaurant. And the fashionable in Breckinridge was outstanding.

Ordered the Elote Bowl app which was great although the house made tortilla chips were seasoned with a spicy salt which rather overpowered the Elote. However we asked for plain chips and they made them up FRESH. Great customer service!! My wife ordered Enchiladas Verde. She generally only orders 1 ala carte and the dinner came with 3 enchiladas + rice and beans ... it was huge so we had take home boxes. I had the chili rellanos which were 2 good sized poblano peppers stuffed with a great cheese mixture, breaded and fried. They were tasty and really good. We were joined by a friend who had the happy hour beef tacos ... also really good. They had a wide nicely curated selection of tequilas, mezcals, sotols, etc. Molly, an off-duty employee, gave me a quick education on 'washed' tequilas, etc. Molly knows her stuff + Am B was very attentive. Closed soon for a month but plans are to reopen for summer and beyond. We loved the experience!!! As an addendum, they specifically told me how to reheat my Rellano later! In addition, the spice on the Rellano was truly unusual and spectacular upon reheating. I hadn't really noticed that at the restaurant!!!

I was here in the summer and came on a Saturday and Sunday morning and there was no line! Definitely will visit again if I am in town.

It's right on Main Street and located very close to the gondolas making it the place to stop by for some food. I had the chorizo taco, al pastor taco, and the tasajo taco. My favorite of the three was the al pastor. Wow wow wow! So much flavor!!!! The tacos are absolutely to die for and the price is amazing. My hubby had the quesadilla with steak one time and with al pastor. I think the quesadilla with al pastor was hands down the best! The guys working here are very friendly, and the food is made to order so there is a little wait (like 10-15min). But that just means you're getting fresh food! There's a few tables out there to sit at to enjoy your goodies. Highly recommend adding this to your list next time you're in Breckenridge looking for some authentic Mexican food.

***TREVOR NEEDS A RAISE***…read more I had an awesome experience at Breckenridge Tap House. Right when we walked in the whole place just had a super relaxed vibe. There was no wait at all, which is pretty rare in Breckenridge, especially during ski season. We got seated right away and everything felt easy from the start. It was the kind of place where you can just kick back after a day on the mountain and grab some good food. Our waiter Trevor was an absolute chiller. Seriously one of the most laid-back and friendly servers I've had in a while. He came over right away, brought us waters, and just had a super good attitude the whole time. Instead of rushing through everything like some places do, he actually talked with us and made the whole experience feel way more personal. One thing we really appreciated was how cool he was about the menu. My son wanted to order off the kids menu and Trevor had no issue with it at all. He didn't make it weird or complicated, he just said no problem and took the order. Little things like that go a long way and made the whole meal way smoother. The food also came out really fast and everything we got was solid. Trevor kept checking in at the perfect times and made sure our waters stayed full without being annoying about it. He also talked with us about skiing and the conditions around Breckenridge, which was cool because we had just been out on the mountain. It felt like talking to someone who actually enjoys the town and the people coming through. The best part was honestly after we left. We accidentally forgot something at the table and didn't realize until we were already outside. When we came back, Trevor was literally waiting with it ready to give it back to us. That kind of thing doesn't happen everywhere. Overall the service was great, the food came out fast, and Trevor was an absolute chiller the entire time. I'd definitely come back here again.

The service was very quick and friendly, and I was honestly surprised by the speed as we stopped in on a very busy Saturday afternoon. I know there are a lot of great options in Breck, but if you're looking for a casual hangout with good food and drinks, I'd recommend stopping in!

It makes you instantly hungry and has a way of making you forget about skiing or any other plans. I went with the two street tacos for $20. I chose the Elk and the Steak, opting for double black beans instead of rice to keep the diet right. Both were fantastic; the succulent steak provided a perfect balance to the leaner elk. I always judge a Mexican restaurant by its chips and salsa, and Mi Casa delivered a great trio: a fresh pico, a solid medium verde, and a "light you up" option for those who want the heat. The bar serves a solid Ranch Water with true Topo Chico instead of club soda from the gun, and my son gave the kids' quesadilla a strong report. The interior is well-executed--it transports you without feeling kitschy. The staff was attentive and friendly throughout. Overall, a reality-based "win" for a post-mountain meal.

Walking in on a cold February day, the mood and ambiance were warm and inviting. The downstairs bar was lively, and the wood ceiling and decor definitely gave off a classic aged lodge feel. We were seated upstairs per our Yelp reservations. A collection of canteens hung on the wall, which sparked a fun conversation and history lesson for my twins. Since they're part of the CamelBak and Stanley cup generation, they hadn't seen anything like them before. My son was impressed by the size of the kids' burger, and the fries were great. The rest of us had the NY Strip. I'd say it was good, but not great--though I did appreciate the blackened seasoning and the chimichurri. The grilled asparagus, however, was simply fantastic. The showstopper was the upside-down apple pie with what seemed to be homemade vanilla ice cream. Both were generous portions and kindly comped by our server for my birthday. I ordered my standard Ranch Water, though it unfortunately didn't come in their traditional canteen cup. Overall, it's a great spot. I look forward to visiting again on our next trip to Colorado.

From the moment we sat down, Spencer carried himself with such professionalism and genuine pride in the restaurant that we honestly assumed he was the owner.

We fell in love with their original location years ago. Their beer is fantastic. The service and atmosphere, though, is what keeps us coming back. The Broken Compass team works at both locations. Claire was our favorite team member but everyone on the team does a great job at inviting you to feel welcome. They're amazing. My favorite beer is their coconut porter. It has a hint of fresh coconut and is a lighter side of porter, not too syrupy. It's well balanced and might I dare say--it's perfect. That said, I haven't had a beer here that I didn't like. They have a great layout at the original location, though you wouldn't think it being in a commercial warehouse. There's a big garage door that opens in the back to outdoor seating. There's this amazing mural in the back of the building. The crowd there all seem to know each other which I am amazed at each time we visit. It's a more local vibe at the original location than the more touristy accessible location on Main Street. The original location has a super cozy vibe, lots of board games (or bring your own). It's a great place to hangout for a few hours. They also have a shuttle that takes patrons back to Main Street. Just call or ask the crew for more details. Again, favorite brewery in Breck. Thanks Claire and team! September 2024
