Great margaritas and the chili relleno is magnificent. The people are friendly and fun. read more

Friendly staff and great ambience. They have a great patio as well as a very nice indoor space. I ordered a chicken mole enchilada as well as a chicken enchilada with red sauce. I kind of judge any Mexican food on those two sauces. The mole was sweeter than I like. The red sauce was just OK. This salsa was amazing as for the chips. My wife ordered a crispy relleno and the green chili was delicious. read more

Decided to try a local restaurant while visiting family and fairplay and they recommended Salon Mexico. It was around 2 pm when we stopped by and it was not busy. 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. read more

Rating on the mountain scale (what ever that is): solid Mexican fare, the salsa was very good. Service was excellent and the food came out quickly. Complimentary chips and salsa too. Ambiance was fine, older building that has seen better days but clean. Bathrooms were well maintained. Definitely worth driving a little further in to downtown Fairplay. read more

Always good food, favorite restaurant in Fairplay. Drinks are good too. Interior is nice.

Wow! Delicious dinner this evening at Salon Mexico in Fairplay! Unique and very flavorful salsa delivered with warm chips to start. The house margaritas were quite nice and the beef fajitas - a huge portion - absolutely stole the show! Tender and savory meat grilled to perfection and surrounded by perfect, thinly cut peppers and onions, all delivered on a sizzling platter! Accompanied by yummy beans, rice, pico, cheese, sour cream and excellent guac. The best! Service was very friendly and provided all we needed. The ambiance of the place is unique and well-remodeled. Great dinner!! read more

Salon Mexico - Two-combo entree of a delicious tamale and chile relleno poblano. - Mexican Near Me - Fairplay, Colorado

It's Fairplay. So you don't know what you're going to get food wise. Salon Mexico was our first meal after arriving for the long weekend. It's in an assuming blue house off of the main drag of State Road 9. And to our hearts content, the food was great! Happy hour margaritas and complimentary chips and salsa was an easy decision. Marg was a tad sweet for my liking, but when you find a marg under $10 these days it's tough to complain. Interesting it was served in a mule mug. The chips passed the crunch test, and salsa was tasty. We shouldn't have ordered the queso fundido, because the size of our entrées were laughably large. The queso fundido didn't look at all like a traditional fundido when presented, due to a generous layer of ground beef atop the cheese. With that being said, this stuff was BANGING. We filled up way too quickly on this and if you tried us you'd know why. Enchiladas Divorciadas hit the table and I couldn't believe the size of the plate. Absolutely massive. Green sauce, red sauce and mole sauce. I opted for chicken, which always seems like the most reliable protein for enchiladas. Delicious from the first bite to the leftovers the next day. Even the rice and beans were good (the true tell of a good Mexican restaurant). Lively setting, massive booths, reasonable prices, locals and travelers alike on a Friday night. One of our favorite meals in Fairplay without question! read more

We really enjoyed the burritos. I had the Colorado and it was big enough for two. It made a nice lunch the next day. The larger chunks of beef and sauce were quite tasty. The chips were light and the salsa very good as well. read more

Delish! Fast service, excellent food (shout out for the fajitas as well as the salsa that comes with the chips), and definitely try the Gabacha margarita - yum! read more

Everything was delicious! Especially the queso fundido, it had a lot of meaty chorizo. Super good. The staff was very attentive. I wish I had one of these restaurants in Denver. read more

Amazing food....best Mexican food in Fairplay! Tried a few things, but the burrito was the best. Go for it! read more

If you're looking for what has been the best carne asada.... This is the place. Sure, it's in the middle of nowhere, but it's worth it!! Tried the queso and the guacamole.... All very good with good flavor. Topped it off with a couple jalapeno margaritas. The also has good flavor and they brought out sautéed peppers that were a good topping. The service was on top of everything and the atmosphere was relaxing. Thank you for a great meal and experiences!! read more

We ordered 4 beef tacos and 2 waters. We were seated right away but service was kinda slow. They only had 2 employees working out front. The tacos were $24 for 4. They tasted fine but definitely not worth $6 each. read more

Their food is great!! I love ordering from here. The food comes fast. They are all very friendly here as well. I highly recommend.

Being a treasure hunter and connoisseur of great food, Im always searching for that hidden gem. Today I found one. Salon Mexico served up the flavor with their Tampiquena Steak platter. A generous serving of Skirt steak seared to perfection, accompanied by a flavorful chicken mole enchilada. The dish also came with a good portion of rice, guacamole, pico de gallo, and the most delicious, sweet and smokey flavored refried beans Ive ever had. The waitstaff are professional, accommodating, and friendly. I will definitely be coming back to try their pastore and carnitas tacos. Provecho! read more

Came back a year later and even better this time. The sopapillas are a must try! Great food

DING! Now we're talking good Mexican food, great margaritas and all at let's don't break the bank prices. Bien Hecho! The margaritas are served in copper cups that keep them muy el refresco! read more

Salon Mexico - Two item combination crispy Chile relleno & Colorado beef taco. Queso & mild green chiles. Skinny Margarita es tremendo! - Mexican Near Me - Fairplay, Colorado

Food was so so. My husband got the enchilada/relleno plate and declared it edible. I got steak Jalisco which was good but very spicy. The tortillas it was served with were old and stale, the refried beans were a strange off white color and had no flavor, the rice was definitely not fresh and featured various petrified vegetables. So while the steak was good, the sides were inedible. I also ordered a house margarita which was so sour I couldn't drink it. I explained to the waiter and was told all their margaritas are like that. This was so sour it made my eyes water. I found another waiter who made me a new margarita that was drinkable. Just want to reiterate that our waiter was terrible. Never asked if everything was ok. Only checked in when he wanted us to pay (and then was super rude about the margarita) So 3 is the best I can give. It's edible. read more

We came here last minute after a long day of skiing. We had reservations in Breck, but wanted to stay close to our air BNB. We are all Texans and we were all super impressed! The food was so good! Guac and queso definitely a must. Loved the homemade salsa and flautas, green enchiladas and steak fajitas on point! Wish they had homemade tortillas but they made up for it with amazing service and bomb sopapillas. Loved it and definitely recommend! Family vibe and authentic feel! read more

If I could give this place zero stars, I would. We went there because it had good reviews but y'all are lying! We are from Texas, and know good Mexican food. We ordered iced tea and didn't get it until after our food arrived. Boyfriend had a chalupa and taco plate. They covered it in their nasty salsa that he didn't ask for. My beef fajitas were over seasoned with something really sweet. The tea tasted like what I would imagine toilet water would taste like. My boyfriend went outside to smoke a cigarette, and I told the waiter we were not paying for our food because of how disgusting it was, and we left. Thank God for the chicken sandwich shop down the road. read more

We were here for lunch, passing through Fairplay: food is delicious, portions are enormous and could feed a family of 5!!

We stopped in on our way to Mt. Princeton. It was the day before Thanksgiving and we were so glad they were open. We only had margaritas, queso, salsa, and chips. It was a fantastic experience and we look forward to going back again to get more food. Service was on point and friendly. Overall, it was a great time. read more

We're not Colorado locals. We're from Texas, so we weren't sure what to expect. Not only was the food delicious, it was authentic! My husband had the One Entree Tostada meal, and I had the Enchilada One Entree meal. We stuffed ourselves! Thank y'all for great cooking! read more

Great Mexican food. Recommend the quesadilla, it was perfect. Nice size portions. Glad it's in Fairplay!

YUM! Best Mexican food in the Fairplay/Alma area. We've had their shredded beef tacos and enchiladas, chili relano, chicken enchiladas and queso.. all were fantastic! Don't sleep on their house margaritas too. We love sitting at the old bar too, it's a neat atmosphere. Thank you for making the best Mexican food in our area!! read more

Excellent! We were very happy with everything from the salsa to the gauc to the margaritas and entrees! Definitely will be our go to spot when we come to Fairplay. Best restaurant in town! read more

Salon Mexico is located within walking distance of all the fun spots of downtown FairPlay. We were staying at an airb&b in Alma and visited FairPlay and immediately were interested in their menu and building. The food was great. Affordable and large portions. The salsa was different from your average Mexican restaurant, which was great. The chips were amazing. Skinny margarita was the best I've had in a long time. The food had excellent flavor. Definitely would go back. read more

Great surprise! We had one pork boritto and veg fajitas. It was delicious. Especially the fajita came with plateful of tasty veggies. Was a huge dish that should be split between two. Was a great positive surprise. read more

First time visit based on recommendation from friends in Breckenridge. New restaurant that serves excellent Mexican food. Had the two item combo and it was excellent. Highly recommend the enchiladas. The salsa is "different" from most salsas, but was very tasty. Highly recommend if in the area. read more

Great service and friendly staff. The food was somewhat dry. The drinks were great and the location was nice.

Excellent Mexican food! Great food, good service, good drinks, and good prices right on Main Street in Fairplay, Colorado!

Excellent food. Their salsa is fantastic, the carnitas are incredible, and the overall quality of their food is fantastic.

Absolutely best Mexican food I have ever had! My husband had the chimichanga and I had the green chili pork for lunch. Meat was melt in your mouth perfect and spices well balanced. It is about an hour and a half from our house, but we will make the trek back for dinner or make a point of stopping on our way back from Breck or Aspen. read more

We were there last night. Ate at the bar. Great large queso fundido. Drinks were a little expensive given the small amount of alcohol involved. Very nice and attentive wait staff. One thing: the dining room lighting is "Bright White" vs "Soft White" and pretty high wattage. Really creates a strange ambience. I wouldn't want to eat in the main (non bar) dining areas for that reason. read more

Looks like a historical bar and the restaurant has a nice atmosphere. Salsa is interesting, not the usual stuff. Spinach enchiladas was tasty. Veggie burrito was little more than beans and rice. It needs veggies, like squash, peppers, onions. It was bland. Guacamole was good. read more

Great customer service and hospitality. The food came out very quick and was delicious! The bar is beautiful with a nice selection of tequila and mezcal. Manuel was very nice and made us feel welcome. read more
