    Carne asada platter
    Christina Z.

    Having lived in Arizona and eaten a fair amount of birria, I was a bit skeptical, but the birria was so delicious! I had the birria taco plate which comes with 3 tacos, chips, consommé, and pickled veggies. The meat was tender and flavorful. My husband had the carne asada platter which is a fun twist on steak frites. The carne asada was charred the right amount and came with a tasty chimichurri, and the fries were garlicky. It also came with elote, tortillas, and pickled veggies. Big portions for both meals so we had leftovers to enjoy. Recommend stopping by Switchback if you're craving Mexican-inspired food in Durango!

    Ok we already reviewed this place but I gotta give an added shout out to the unbelievable quesabirria. I mean... holy cow. It's unreal. The taco plate is next level phenomenal. You must try it!!!!

    The street tacos were great. Add a bowl of chips with three different dips and you are in nirvana. Switchback has an upscale vibe and is very reasonable. The birria tacos with dipping sauce were a great option. Service was quick and friendly. This is an excellent option and does not feel touristy.

    The food!!! When I saw the pics posted from recent Yelp reviews so I had to try their Birria Tacos. Wow. So much flavor. The consome was so tasty. Mexican Coke!! Great service at the bar. Timing was impeccable

    I had a great lunch on a beautiful day... on the patio. Service was terrific and the food yummy! I will go back when I am in Durango.

    Price increases have affected many businesses and this is no exception IMO. Food is still good, but portions are smaller and service isn't quite what it used to be. Still a trendy place on main, with many happy at the bar. My girl enjoyed the ramen, steak and rice bowl was good. Hubs said tacos weren't as good as last year. $104 for a beer, a lemonade, elote appetizer, Trio appetizer, taco trio, rice bowl w/steak and ramen.

    We went here a couple times on a trip during the pandemic. I thought I gave a review but I didn't . We lived this place. Wish I could get there again soon. The fries where super yummy and the tacos were the best in a long time. Service was great We sat outside due to COVID and it was a beautiful day and we enjoyed all of it. Can't wait to go again Gluten feee

    Honestly everything I want from American tacos. Corn tortillas. Good selection of different meats, and importantly for me, good vegetarian choices. They also happened to be vegan. Since I am technically pescatarian I tried the shrimp taco as well, and it was one of the best shrimp tacos I have had in a long time. The marinade was delicious. The Anasazi bean dip was outstanding, and conveniently vegan so could be enjoyed by a diverse party. Queso was excellent also. Great bargain on drafts for happy hour. I am pretty sure this is what I will be craving the next time I come to Durango.

    I scarfed down the shrimp taco, so the pic is of carnitas and the brisket. OMG. So good.

    See all

    Like the concept. Food was good. Service was great. Street Tacos were a little spendy but I guess that on par for Durango.

    Carne Asado fries and street corn rolled in Cheetos. That's winning. Great service and reasonable prices. Really enjoyed my lunch.
