Best Mexican food in Telluride! Vegan options, a vegan plate, Borge green and red are vegan, free chips and salsa. The list goes on. Lunch or dinner and the service is fast! A rare feature in this town.

This place has decent food options and menu. The taste of the food is ok but the price is little bit on the higher end. Their menu is ok with all the regular mexican options available. Ambience is ok. Got served with the tortilas upfront. Can try this place once.

This place claims to have Mexican food but is everything but. My family and I are Mexican and this is not Mexican food. The “chilaquiles” we’re just chips with salsa on top. They were incredibly snobby when we asked for Vegan accommodations despite having a couple of “vegan” options on their menu. They seemed bothered by every question including whether or not their beans and rice were made with chicken broth or not. Lastly, if you claim to serve Mexican food and simply pull a tub of guacamole from the fridge that is obviously prepackaged from somewhere, is that really considered house-made? This place is not authentic and more importantly not at all welcoming or appreciative of the business they are getting. It’s unfortunate as others may not know the difference and this is the reason I’m leaving the review. There are plenty of better places in town especially for Vegan friendly options. I should have listened to the other review that also claimed they were rude. This place to me reminds me of a tourist trap and I highly recommend going elsewhere. On top of this, the food was disgusting.

Was looking for an espresso and stayed for tacos. Casual, low-key, and fast. It’s 5 stars for what it is. Person at the register was great. Our server, not so much. Kids like the salsa bar and we all had a good time, so that rounds off to 5 stars.
