La Cocina de Luz

Decent Mexican food overall, but not particularly memorable. I had the large burrito with two sides, choosing carne asada as my filling. While it was advertised as marinated and grilled skirt steak, the texture leaned more toward pot roast than steak. The beans and rice on the side were fine but lacked seasoning and could have used more flavor. On the positive side, the guacamole was delicious, and the salsa bar was a nice touch with plenty of options. We also tried the queso fundido, which was solid and enjoyable. Good spot for a casual meal, but not one I’d go out of my way for.

Our first trip to Telluride and what a way to start. La Cocina de Luz is a must try if visiting Telluride. We were greeted by someone from their very friendly staff and were seated immediately. Free chips and two types of salsa were brought to the table. The salsa was fresh and delicious. My wife ordered quesadillas and they covered the entire plate. I ordered the special of the day which was a pan seared rainbow trout with quajillo peppers and garlic. Holy cow it was amazing. Everything tasted so fresh. If you see it offered you HAVE to get it. It was also nice to have several of the employees come by our table to see if we were enjoying our meal. We assumed it was the owner and the chef. 5*’s for La Cocina de Luz!

Order at the counter, keep your tab open for drinks and food. The margaritas are delicious. Chile relleno with red or green sauce. The green sauce is a poblano pepper sauce, a tad spicy and delicious. The red pepper sauce is guajillo pepper, also amazing. The food is fresh, the salsas are amazing. The staff is very attentive and friendly. Bonus, the bartender is a paisana.

Food was amazing!! Menu had lots of great choices! Definitely recommend when in town! Photo is of the fish and burrito, great flavors!

Great food! They had Vegan dish that was very satisfying and tasty. We came twice while off roading in Colorado. The guy working there made a stupid comment but the woman was great.

Such a great experience at La Cocina de Luz! The food was terrific and the service was out of this world! I wish I got the name of the manager/person taking orders, but I could have listened to his interactions all day long. Would be a multi million viewer YouTube channel! Went back for breakfast and was yet again impressed.

Great place for breakfast!! All homemade and the gluten free blue corn waffle was DELICIOUS!! The best coffee we’ve had! Warm friendly atmosphere and eggs and bacon were cooked perfectly! Couldn’t stop hubby from eating before I got a picture. Chips and salsa at breakfast!!

The food was terrific. They gave us chips and Salsa without charging us and sent us off with a bag of chips too. There was a little deck where we were were able to relax while eating. Great food! Great service!!!!
