    Burrito colorado (red chili)
    A.j. P.

    So...Bland bland bland. I was hoping for more of authentic taste because the salsa and chips were fresh and the rice was good when the waitress brought my dish. I ordered the Burrito Colorado and it was a disappointment. The meat in the chile was tough, the chile colorado was more of a guisado than chile. I think I ordered wrong. Service was great and the ambiance was nice. I'm bummed that I took chance and came up with blandness.

    As of December 2023.

    Can't give anything hiring than 2 stars. Solely because my food came out with a LONG piece of hair in it!! I immediately let the manager know, and he decided to comp a few of the drinks to make up for the value of the meal with the hair in it. Overall, I don't think this was enough compensation. I would've preferred taking off a huge discount for the entire meal. I was also searching for the waiter a few times for refills and extra items we needed. They seemed a little short staffed.

    Veggie Fajitas

    Good, old style Mexican restaurant. I had a generous Veggie fajita. Good service, good value.

    Cheese Enchiladas

    We were only in town for a day & saw this place was highly recommened. Good service & great food. A lot of flavor & you can't beat the price on anything in the menu. My wife said they were the best cheese enchilada's she has ever had! We will definitely be back, it is in a great part of town also!

    Carne Asada & Shrimp Plate

    We had dinner at Tequila's. I ordered the Chicken Tortilla Soup & my husband had a Carne Asada & Grilled Shrimp plate. This place has authentic Mexican food! Staff was very friendly & courteous. The restaurant overall had a great vibe & great Mexican music playing. Totally recommend!

    I always come to those places over the years and have many memories coming here with my kids. The service is usually good and the food was always good. Well it's gone way down hill. I could barely eat my dinner this time. The food tasted old and like it was under a heat lamp! The fajitas were not even sizzling. No flavor and the margarita was a sweet mess too much mix. That need quality control for sure!!

    Tequila's is a small place off the main drag in old town Durango. We were looking for a place to have a late lunch and stopped in on a whim. We are so glad we did! There is wonderful Mexican food where we live in Texas, but Tequilla's can hold it's own with any other Mexican restaurant I've been to. The Queso Chorizo came out still sizzling in a skillet, our meals were hot and HUGE (see the pics) and the beer was cold! We gave Tequila's a 5 because the food was that good. If we'd incorporated the service, it would have been a 4. The staff could be more attentive and friendly, we had to ask for water refills and it took a bit to get the check. If they amp up the friendliness a bit, combined with the great food, this place would be perfect.

    To be honest we only had the skinny spicy margaritas, the queso, and chips and salsa here but everything was delicious. Stop in for a fun treat or come by for some fun Mexican food! Surprisingly delicious!

    This has been the best tasting Mexican food I've eaten in a very long time. Since Durango is on lockdown after 6pm, and there are no indoor seating, we called in a to go order to take back to our hotel. Main Street parking is very limited, but I was able to find a spot right outside the front door. (I did notice there is one spot right outside the restaurants for curbside delivery) I just walked in, and picked up our food. Once inside you really can't go anywhere, because of covid they have the dining room blocked off. There is a counter right when you walk in, and this is where your food order will be placed. When placing your order via the internet, or over the phone you will need to pre-pay which is ok by me less hassle to mess with. Just pickup your food and go. What I was Impressed with was their service with a smile, and the large selection of alcohol behind the bar. I don't know what Colorado's liquor laws are, but if they are anything like Utah's you'll just have to admire from afar, no take out for you. Anyway... back to the food. Portions were GENEROUS. We had a reservation to ride the "Polar Express" train ride so we needed to hurry and eat so we didn't miss the train. (That's a whole different review) I ordered the tortilla soup, and it was so yummy on the very first taste, and hot. I had a hard time eating it all before we had to leave, and was sad about it, because there was no way to heat it up when we got back to our room. The chips were light and airy and the salsa was fantastic. My grandson opted for the American fare of a good old cheeseburger and fries. I have to give a shout out to Tequila's, because this was the best burger he had on our whole trip. Who knew it would be at a Mexican restaurant. When we got back to the hotel after our excursion, I ate my chicken salad, and it was fantastic, the dressing was a perfect match. Lettuce was nice, and crisp and the chicken was perfectly cooked. Yum. If your ever in Durango, and are in the mood for some Mexican food "This is the Place" to go to. I did say the portions were GENEROUS right? VERY GENEROUS! Bone appetit

    I hate to inform you that if you're reading this, the Switchback has closed to be rebranded to a…read moredifferent restaurant. 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. Service was efficient and drinks were cold. Guess I'm just writing this to keep my Yelp numbers up...

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.

I wanted one rice and one black bean and one refried. He just scooped 2 rice in the one scoop of refried I asked for. I had said I wanted 1, 1, 1 didn't know it was extra and then continued to just talk rude about me to his coworkers as they all giggled in spanish. Maybe don't talk shit about the customer in Spanish, especially when it's a white boy that knows Spanish very well. Made me very uncomfortable. then up charged me and didn't just honor the mess up. One of the gentlemen was being nice and so I started talking in Spanish to him and so he was nice. Lady that checked me out, seemed to get mad at me for asking for another chip even though I got nachos and a naked burrito and they say it's free chips. I got two things, thought I would get two chips. It just was not respectful in any way, I hadn't been here before they knew that. But good way to have me not want to come back. Portions weren't impressive either. Food was good, but idk the way I was treated and spoken about right in front of my face was beyond disrespectful. And then to just up charge me still. Thank you to the First Gentleman that explained how it worked, and the gentleman that I spoke in Spanish with. However I'm probably Never coming back.

They were tired from the day and zipped into their stroller so they could only see out the front and had a cozy bed where they were soon snoozing fitfully. We were seated in their patio area which is shaded by solar panels. So cool! We soon had waters, chips and salsa and our menus to decide. The salsa had a wonderful hit of heat. The staff was welcoming and helpful. We placed our orders. My daughter chose two Camarones tacos that had grilled shrimp, corn tortilla, lettuce, onions, cilantro and salsa. She also got one Carne Asada taco that had grilled beef, corn tortilla, lettuce, onions, cilantro and salsa. She said the meat was delicious and the toppings were super fresh. My husband chose the Fajita Taco Salad with chicken, the salad had onions, peppers, beans, lettuce, pico de gallo, cheese, guacamole, and sour cream. He really liked the crunchy shell and the salad was tasty. I chose the L.A. Quesabirria Tacos. It came with 3 tacos on corn tortillas and consumé for dipping. The tacos were filled with melted Monterrey jack cheese, onions and cilantro. It was decadently delicious. I would come back.
