If you enjoy authentic Mexican cuisine, this is the place to go! Family owned an operated, a local favorite for sure. But be careful, the house margaritas are pretty strong! ;)

Sightseeing

Hit the pioneer point a few miles past the dam at Blue Mesa Reservoir and test your feelings for heights. This trail is a great canyon trail, down and up and provides some stellar views, waterfalls and some pretty cool spots to chill and fish by the river at the bottom. Great hike to do in the mornings or afternoon!

Take a drive North out of Gunnison and hang a right in Almont. The Taylor canyon is beautiful and the drive alone is enjoyable. The reservoir is gorgeous and provides some stellar views of some of the best peaks in Colorado. Rent a Jeep in Taylor park and take it up to the abandon town of Tincup and check out Mirror Lake. You’ll be glad you did!

Take Ohio Creek north out of Gunnison and follow it up all the way Kebler pass. At the top of Ohio Creek, you can find yourself looking at by far, one of the best views of the Gunnison valley and few dollars in gas can buy. Not to mention an amazing of view of the Castles. If you’re coming in the fall, you absolutely can’t pass up the opportunity to see a sea of yellow and orange aspens as far as the eye can see.

Traveler advice

Getting around

The RTA is free and has multiple stops! Easy lift to CB!

Sometimes the bus is a little early, so show up with a little time to spare. Also, hitch hiking in the valley is pretty common if you’re a solo traveler. Just be patient, someone will pick you up. And if I’m head that way, I can give you a lift too if it works out!
