Rhiannon was so kind and I thanked her for working. She has a huge smile and was excited about the menu. Add the vegetable beef barley soup, open face pot roast beef sandwich other than gravy on bread, it was OK, I had parts of it but that was very cool almost cold, it did not make me jump up and down. I would go back, I would not eat what I had today but I would try some like their burgers look absolutely amazing. I love this community, I had a great conversation with some locals, Quite informed. I think they could kick it up a notch for the food but everything else was perfect that's why I gave them a five, not a four. I WOULD RECOMMEND.

That said, the red chili bowl was inedible and my patty melt wasn't good. (Next door - Grammy's - we cleaned our plates!) We are all about supporting small business but compared to other local restaurants; the food falls short here and we wouldn't choose here again.

While passing through Monte Vista this morning we wanted breakfast. Saw the Sunflour Cafe and…read moredecided to stop. Turned out to be a great idea. It's a cute, clean cafe with so many made from scratch items - bread, cakes, pies, cinnamon rolls (we had 2), and many other items. Service was quick and friendly. We had 2 Sunflour specials and one breakfast burrito. The portions were generous and delicious. None of us walked away hungry. If passing through or in Monte Vista, stop by the Sunflour Cafe. You'll be glad you did!

Don't get me wrong... their homemade sides are really good but fries would be a huge hit. The Thursday lunch special is French Dip with homemade Mac n' cheese and it is so good. I highly recommend their frozen take and bake chicken pot pies are super good. The crust flaky and the flavor of the inside is the best ever. Thanks, Sun Flour cafe!

One of the best bbq around, period! It's a little expensive but well worth the price.read more

I only give this place a two based on the smell of the food. $48 for two barbecue sandwiches and…read moretwo small sides of mac & cheese and two Pepsi's. The beef was incredibly dry and I couldn't pick up the sandwich. A teaspoon of barbecue sauce doesn't work on the sandwich. The mac & cheese was an afterthought. Someone boiled a pot of noodles, drained them and threw in a bunch of cheddar cheese. Nothing but big hard clumps and when I say hard, I'm in the noodles and the cheese were like dried plastic. I don't know if this owner just didn't care about a Colorado festival (sugar beet days), but I wouldn't even bother. We've had grocery store barbecue better than this.

I had only had takeout from the Alamosa location prior to visiting the Monte Vista restaurant. So I…read morewent in with the expectation that the food would be fantastic. The inside is nice though nothing too spectacular. It was nice and clean and definitely a place you don't mind visiting. The surface was quick and friendly with just the right amount of attention given. I ordered the burger plate choosing the tortilla option. The highlight of the dish was definitely the green chili that was smothering everything. It went especially well with the fries. I am giving them a solid four stars but if we could do half stars, I would give them 4 1/2. Definitely worth a stop if you're in Monte Vista and craving good Mexican food.

Monte Vista is a small town in Southern Colorado…read more Thus Alta has definite small town vibes. When I needed to "see the cashier" on 9/2/2023 because the pump I parked at was not accepting my credit card, there was a line that I could tell was not moving fast any time soon. The convenience shop seemed decent. Clean. But it seemed like time was standing still so I went back out to my Jeep. Tried the pump on the other side. Sure enough, it accepted my card just fine. No need to see the cashier. No need to experience that twilight zone energy a second time. Lol. Conoco gas is sold here. That mid-morning it was $4 per regular unleaded which was 85 octane. Same price as the other gas stations nearby. TIP The Upside app has this as one of their checkin locations - it's simply an app to help you save more at the pump.

It's an easy place to get in and out of. The speaker was in good working condition. The employees were kind and worked quickly to get our order out even though they made me wait in an area just past the pickup window. My kiddos got soft-serv with their kids meal. It was a beautiful work of art on a warm day. I found it odd that an employee asked if they wanted their ice cream now or later. At the drive-thru! Lol. No complaints about our order that afternoon.

Giving a bad review to restaurants usually isn't my thing…read more But today I had the third or fourth bad experience at the Dairy Queen in Monte Vista, Co. It took them 20 minutes to bring my food out to my car. I wasn't the only one, 3-4 cars waited that long also. As I said not the first time, but the longest wait. Yes they were busy. But in the last couple months this has been the norm. Here is my suggestion, if you can't get my food to me within a few minutes, then don't take any more orders until you can fulfill the orders you have in the queue. That way if someone doesn't want to wait in line that long they can leave. Once we have payed for our meals, most won't leave. Please get it together management.

If you enroll (for free) for the KickBack Loyalty Program, you will save a little on gas (currently $.03 per gallon). The pump was a bit slow that Sunday mid-morning. Not the cleanest grounds either.
