The service was fantastic and the mushrooms and tofu toppings for the tacos were very tasty. The vegan taco was delicious, as was the elote corn. The restaurant also had a lovely outdoor dining area for casual dining.

They have a section on their menu that is specifically titled “vegan dream menu”. Gotta give them 4 stars for thinking ahead. Love that their tofu is smoked and they offer portobello mushrooms without an added cost.

This restaurant on Main Street is a fantastic spot with a specific vegan menu. The portabella and smoked tofu tacos are delicious, and the Switchback Fries are outstanding! They also have a full bar with locally sourced products.

Get the vegan fries with the portobello mushrooms. Amazing. The portobello taco is to die for. Tofu is really good but very flavorful (might be overwhelming if you aren’t big on marinated tofu).

I loved that they had a dedicated vegan section on the menu! It was great to see. We ended up trying a bit of everything and my favorite was the tofu taco. Thank you!

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 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.

Yum! Great spot for lunch! We had awesome service, got a seat quickly, and the food and drinks were delicious and came out fast. We had the Palomas, which were really good, as well as the elote, chicken tinga taco, steak with chipotle-mayo taco, and carnitas with pineapple salsa taco. All was great, especially the steak and carnitas. I highly recommend and we?ll be back!

The food was fantastic! The beef, steak, and shrimp tacos were all excellent. We also tried the trio of dips, and they were delicious. The OG cob was absolutely amazing! I would definitely recommend this as one of the best places to eat in Durango!

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!
