We had spent the day outdoors venturing the Garden of the Gods & Manitou Springs when a serious craving for Mexican food kicked in. Me, my boyfriend & sister decided to pop by this restaurant and let me tell you, we will 100% be back anytime we are in town. First, we were seated quickly on the outside patio (dog friendly) which was great. Second, the service was lovely (attentive but not over bearing) and the food was DELICIOUS!! We moved here from Texas where there is no shortage of Mexican restaurants and I was truly impressed. We all ordered different dishes and shared and let me tell you, not one plate had anything remaining when we were done. The food was flavorful, had a great kick to it, came out fresh, and satisfied our craving better than we could have imagined. Excited to go back and try some new dishes. Check it out!

We just stumbled upon this place, and we're glad we did!
We shared the artichoke dip with chips and vegetables. The bread bowl was warm and fresh.
We also each ordered the buffalo chicken wrap. It has a little spice to it, which blue cheese makes it so delicious!
Didn't like that the prices were not on the menu. Wasn't quite sure how much we spent until we got our bill. :(

First time here and I’m amazed. The staff were very friendly. The food was soooo good. The chips were brought with three different salsas: spicy, mild and sweet. I had a strawberry margarita because it was happy hour:) and I could tell they definitely did not skimp on the tequila. And the sweet salsa definitely took some bite out of the spicy rice and beans. Overall a fantastic place to eat!

First time here and I will not be going back. I'm going to be brutally honest, the food is not good. I don't know why it has such great reviews. I chalk it up to everyone having different tastes. However, I was really let down with how inauthentic it is. The flour tortillas are store bought and the food really lacks in flavor. I got one shredded chicken soft taco. The chicken tasted like it was boiled in chicken broth with no other seasoning. I also got a pork soft taco. The pork had a smokey flavor but it didn't do it for me. I thought maybe the rice and beans could make up for it but those weren't good either. The salsa was made with fire roasted tomatoes and was bland. I couldn't even finish the food that's how bad it was. I didn't dine in, so I can't speak for the service. But as far as the food goes, completely dissatisfied and not worth the money I paid for it.

This was my first time in since the “new” ownership, which was quite awhile ago hence my quotes…
It was nice! Food was great, and the service was good. Our family of four all left satisfied. Awesome local Rockrimmon restaurant!
