I have written a number of reviews so you can see I rarely go overboard on praise. My son is very ill with leukemia in Durango. The owner of this restaurant was over the top with personal kindness to me, during a very sad time. I will not describe the many kind deeds he did for me for fear of... More

My favorite Mexican restaurant in Durango. I recommend the pan-seared wahoo tacos! Yum. It takes 15 minutes extra because they cook it fresh but it is worth it. My honey had the grande burrito with everything on it. If you are in Durango, come in by!!

Locals love this place! There are two locations now - North Main and south of town in a strip mall. The food is fresh (west coast style) and the service is a cafeteria type process. You are asked to individualize your order as you progress through the line. I really like the veggie rice bowl and my husband likes the... More

Zia opened up their new location (next to Big 5) in South Durango recently. The food is still good, especially the chicken enchiladas (my fave--which is a weekday special) and the many different salsas that you can choose to put on various food selections (like burritos, tacos, salads, posole, etc.) The new location is bigger and has an outdoor sitting...

The margarita is surprisingly good! I had the Tuesday special which was really yummy and a margarita. It's the quality of a sit down restaurant without the prices or atmosphere of one. It was perfect for us.

The food here was good! Based on TA reviews, I had the wahoo tacos. Very tasty, but very messy. I would recommend that if you get the wahoo, get it in a rice bowl. It is a fast food place, kinda like a Subway with Mexican food. Service was very quick. Not much seating area with mot much atmosphere. Looks... More

We were expecting a sit down run of the mill Mexican food place. It is a fast food feel with great food. Very clean place, but small eating area and parking lot. My husband had the Baja fish tacos and said they were some of the best he has ever had. The place was full to overflowing with locals, but... More
