If you’re ever in Estes Park and want real delicious fresh Mexican food, this is it! We’ve been to Estes before and did the whole strip thing. So happy that we stumbled upon this little gem! Very convenient since it’s right across from the ridgeline hotel. Amazing service too!

Great food that was served quickly. Also one of the less expensive places to eat we’ve tried so far. The burrito in the photo is the expresso burrito with the optional green chili and it was excellent. The pork inside was so tender, and there was a ton of it!

This was SHOCKINGLY good. It’s very unassuming from the outside but holy smokes is it delicious. The rice and beans were a little spicy and were honestly some of the best I’ve ever had. The margaritas were “meh” but I still drank it. The meat was cooked PERFECTLY and it was seasoned incredibly well. The chips were homemade and the salsa was so good we ordered another.

This was a nice surprise, after being in Estes Park all summer working we finally found this place. And it was scratch cooking and very delicious, I wish it was a little hotter but that’s me. Great job everyone, we’ll be back.

Great authentic Mexican fare with a large and varied menu, outside of the busy downtown of Estes Park. Very friendly, helpful and attentive service. We had four different dishes for five of us (two shared), with great and unique flavors and spice.

BEST chicken tortilla soup with a little heat if you like a little spice. The cup of soup is plenty big for a meal because it is so hearty with lots of shredded chicken and big pieces of avocado in it too. They serve free chips and salsa, and the salsa tastes homemade with incredible spices.

Very good food. Loved their salsa, as they add a lot of cilantro. J.J. was especially great for his excellent customer service. He deserves a raise. Will definitely go back again.

The food was great. We were getting an oil change and the mechanic recommended this place. He was spot on. The salsa was great as well as everything else. My wife and son each had the quesadilla appetizer with chicken and it was huge and delicious. The tamales are wonderful. I had the Pollo Mexicano. When it came out I thought it was too much sour cream sauce but it turned out to be amazing. I mixed in a little of the salsa and that made the dish. The staff is super friendly. There is indoor and outdoor seating. Check them out
