Semi-mexican food. We ordered burritos of different sorts. The food tasted very fresh and you received plenty as far as portions go. They have a chips and salsa bar so you can help yourself to that while you are waiting for your food. They have homemade ice cream however we never got to try any as they were in the... More

This was my second time to this restaurant. This time, I ordered their green salad with veggies. The flavor of the dressing was a bit spicy and almost tangy and made a great lunch portion. The staff were all nice and eager to help. My favorite part was being able to sit outside on a sort of "patio" looking out... More

This probably isn't the sort of review that the management had in mind after placing signage at the register that implores customers to share only their favorable impressions of the restaurant on various Web sites, but I would be doing a disservice to the Tripadvisor community if I were not forthright. It's been a couple of years since I've eaten... More

Food was good, but acoustics were terrible. We couldn't even have a conversation it was so noisy. also, rather expensive for Mexican food. A combo plate averaged $17.

The best food and the best value in Telluride. This is my goto restaurant for Great, High Quality food, and the price is the extra bonus. Homemade, organic, locally grown when available. Also great kids menu (read, kids size portions of regular menu items).

Small eating area and early closing are the only drawbacks to this place! The food is great, the staff friendly and its not too pricey. If your in Telluride and want good food at a reasonable price, you need to eat here, you will leave full and still have money in your wallet (unlike most places in Tellurde).
