I ordered the vegan French toast and a side of bacon. Having a severe egg allergy makes breakfast choices out limited. The cinnamon on the French toast gave it the right crisp plus the maple syrup was spot on for my taste buds. The bacon is thin strips which aren't my thing I prefer thick cut bacon. It has a few counter seats and then as many tables as can be put inside for seating. Turnover of tables was quick. Many people came and went. I enjoyed my hot tea and read while I ate.

It felt like I just asked for ketchup to add to my tomahawk filet.... Apparently, the big selling point with this wrap was that the buffalo sauce was fresh made and the only ranch they had was not fresh made / out of a bottle (because it was not very tasty). They gave me a ridiculously small amount. My daughter asked for sweet iced tea and the waitress didn't just say they didn't have it, there wasn't even an option in her head that she could just get the iced tea and use the sugar available on every table. All this to say, food was good for the most part (not wonderful), but the service felt like we were an inconvenience.

We were wandering around downtown Durango late Tuesday morning looking for lunch and quickly…read morerealized many places are closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays during the mid-April off-season. Thankfully, we came across Carver Brewing Co. and were happy to see it open. They offer a great variety of local beers, including options to take some to go. We tried the Double IPA and the Hazy--both were delicious. They also have wine and mimosas available if beer isn't your thing. Bo (or Beau) was our bartender and truly made the experience. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and had a genuine smile the entire time. His energy was infectious and really brightened the atmosphere. Definitely a must-stop when passing through Durango.

The inside is a typical pub environment, with booths and tables and some TV's mounted around the bar areas. Our server was great. Food was okay. The "smashburger" just seemed like a regular burger, and it was pretty well done. The fries were good. I would say typical bar food, nothing special.

However, we had gone on its closing day and had some great tacos, salad, and ramen. Their birria is rich and meaty with a touch of cinnamon and was awesome as a ramen and taco.

If you are a lover of well done birria, this is your place. Craving authentic Mexican food? Yep, this is your place. We started with their chips and salsa. I think you can tell a lot by the salsa at a place. Lemme just say, I was so very happy! Their salsa wasn't too chunky, not too thin and they are not afraid to season and add some heat - but hey, don't worry it wasn't too hot if you've got a dad like mine who isn't a fan of "too much spice." Such a good omen. I couldn't decide which marg to try so ordered a flight. Best decision ever. Even as I write this, I'm still hard pressed to choose a favorite. They were all so good. Add street tacos, quesadillas for my mom, elote cob, and switch fries for my dad and we were all happy campers. The flavors were obscenely good. Staff were amazing and stopped by to make sure we were always taken care of: fast and friendly. Best combo ever. The place is also super cute! Loved the bar and simplicity of the concept. Switchback has a quiet elegance while be so very casual. Perfect in my book.

My girlfriend, Wendy, and I would never have found the place without the help of her family with directions. We shared the eggs benedict, as we knew it would be way too much food for either one of us to eat. Our server was fabulous, the chefs in the kitchen were friendly and kind. The food that was served, was served hot and delicious. Ask one of the locals to point you in the direction of this little yet quaint and clean breakfast/lunch restaurant. My girlfriend, and I had a wonderful time. There's limited seating inside and out, but we enjoyed it immensely. Safe travels
