The food here is authentic and the service is great! We really enjoy going to this restaurant any time of the year. It is one of the few mexican restaurants that can compare to the ones in Texas!

Oh yes! We have been eating at Los Girasoles in Salida & Buena Vista since they first opened in Poncha Springs! Being from California we are picky about Mexican but this fills the bill! Great enchiladas, burritos, Pork carnitas and more. Have never gotten a bad meal here. The owners are local and Hispanic and know how to cook! Love... More

Los Girasoles has two locations, their original location being on Hwy 50 in Salida. Both are excellent! We used to look forward to eating at their first location in Poncha Springs, before they moved to Salida, and were thrilled when they opened their BV location. My wife judges every Mexican Restaurant by their Chili Relenos and they have the best.... More

This is the most authentic Mexican Restaurant I've eaten at in a long time. The waiters/waitresses and cooks are all from Mexico and have brought there great food with them. Think you know what a Taquito is? Try them here, and see what a real Taquito is. The combo appetizer fills me and my 12 year old daughter up. It's... More

Yummy salsa, chili verde, enchiladas and burritos. Service was very speedy. Lots of reasonably priced lunch and dinner options. Very tasty!

We visit BV nearly every summer. Lunch at Casa Del Sol used to be a highlight. I'm not sure what happened there--they used to have THE best mole' sauce--but it was simply terrible this trip. So we decided to check out Los Girasoles, and after our lunch there, we'll never go to any other Mexican restaurant in town. The house... More

Stopped by on our way home from a day in the mountains by Leadville. We were hungry and tired and felt right at home as we sat down. The food was very good and the Cadillac Margarita made the rest of the drive home very relaxed! Oh I really liked the flavorful salsa.

As a local non cook - if you like runey beans that cover 75% of the plate, a tiny burito with more runey beans in it and no flavor, and a high price because you are right off the highway. This is the place to go. Best that you speak a little spanish if you have any questions on your... More

This little place was quite a find for me. I grew up eating Tex-Mex - my Mother always made the best. This reminded me so much of her food. The cheese enchiladas are always bubbling hot & my husband loves one of the seafood dishes but you cannot leave the restaurant without buying some of the awesome salsa to take... More
