Love this place! The tacos are incredible (especially the birria! , so much flavor, and the house Margaritas are great too. It's a regular stop for us... lunch during the work week, dinner with local friends, and we also often take family and friends whenthey visit from out of town. Fast. Delicious. Cool people.
Oh my God! Some of the best vegan Tacos I have ever had. Both the tofu and the mushrooms were amazing! And the switchback fries (insert Homer Simpson drooling meme), no words to describe how good they were! Get this, get this now, your taste budswill thank you!
This place has changed, the Birria tacos and consume used to be full of flavor and was unbeatable. The last two times ive been there and ordered the birria it has just tasted like pot roast put on tortillas...I will not be ordering birria here anymore. Ona positive note the Margaritas were on point!
The food was a bit on the expensive side, but it was absolutely delicious. I ordered two carnitas tacos and two chicken tinga tacos, along with fries topped with chicken. Everything was flavorful, and the staff was friendly.
My wife said the tacos were some of the best she's ever had. The service was excellent, and the food was outstanding. We'll definitely return when we’re back on Main Street.

We were delighted to discover a variety of vegetarian and vegan options on the menu. The mushroom tacos and tofu tacos were incredible! We finished our meal with some delicious churros. As two adults and two teenagers, we all left feeling very satisfied. If only we didn’t live six hours away—I’ll be dreaming of those tacos!
Being from South Texas, it's a gamble going to a taco restaurant but we were pleasantly surprised about how delicious the food was. We had the beef asada plate, which is perfect for a couple of out of towners to split since it has a little bit of everything we were wanting to order anyways (elote and garlic fries). Everything on the plate was to order, including the extra crispy fries. The beef was tender and well seasoned. We also were curious about some of their meat varieties so we also ordered a trio of tacos: carnitas, chicken adobaba, and brisket. Carnitas were seasoned perfectly and, although the chicken was a little sweeter than I expected, it was still good. Nothing beats Texas brisket but it was still pretty tasty. Worth a visit if you're here from out of town!
Fun fact: there are a few things they don’t mention when you visit this restaurant. First, if you order chips and dip, you’ll find that they add a $2.50 charge for the chips. This hidden fee isn't noted anywhere, and you only discover it when you get your bill—leading to a total of over $8 for both items. I’m pretty sure that’s not allowed. But I digress. Second, if you opt for a skinny margarita, you’ll be charged an extra dollar for the reduced sweetness. Apparently, it costs more to use fewer ingredients. It’s pretty mind-boggling! It's these kinds of practices that made me consider leaving with my family and never returning. I’m genuinely curious to hear what other questionable experiences others have had at this place, just for the sake of entertainment. However, as for me, I think I’ll skip it in the future.
The food was delicious, my server Eric was very friendly. I will definitely be visiting again !
Delicious food, great vegan options, some of the bet margs I've ever had, and the mushroom tacos are the best ever! Service is friendly and a great atmosphere.Dietary restrictions: Very good about food allergies!

Good, fresh Southwestern Tex- Mex but brought food before drinks and limited seating. Right on the Main Street but 25 minute wait. Food was good, not huge portions. We sat curbside. Overall we liked it.

I absolutely adore this place! The tacos are amazing, particularly the birria which is loaded with flavor. The house Margaritas are also excellent. We visit regularly—whether it's for lunch during the work week, dinner with local friends, or bringing family and friends who visit from out of town. It's quick, delicious, and the staff are really friendly!
The food was amazing! The barbecue, steak, and shrimp tacos were all excellent. The trio of dips was very tasty as well. The OG Copper was truly fantastic! I can confidently say that this is one of the best places to eat in Durango!
