Driving through Aspen we decided to search for local restaurants. One of the Mexican restaurants that popped up was this one. Once you learn to navigate the streets and find parking.
Walk down from street level to enter the restaurant on the left. There's also outdoor seating in a small concrete courtyard.
The place was pretty dead, but it was a Sunday afternoon. There was only one table occupied when we arrived.
They were quick to take our order and get us seated. You get chips and salsa with your meal. They were out right away. The chips are good. I've been places where the chips are stale or too hard, but not here. The salsa tastes like tomato paste, so it could be better. In fact, we were kind of over it, so we ordered the queso green Chile to go with the chips. It was good, but not great. Would I order it again? I think I would.
Our food came out rather quickly after we ordered. I ordered the big lunch burrito with chicken, rice and black beans. It comes with a side of green Verde sauce. It was good and healthy, which is what I was looking for.
The couple next to us came in maybe 5 minutes after us and got their fajitas in half that time after we received ours, so they were super quick there.
Refills could have been faster on our drinks. We went through half our meal without refills and needed refills at the start of the meal. I was a bit disappointed considering they weren't super busy and I tip based on fast my ordered drink is refilled.
We then ordered soppapillas. They were more like soppapilla chips with ice cream and like a Carmel sauce. It was good.
We paid and headed out.
Overall - would I come back? Probably not.
