From downtown breweries, charming coffee shops, and some of the best slice pizza you’ve ever had, this remote mountain town is going to blow you away with its incredible eateries.

While there are 3 locations throughout town, I was advised from a local the north side is best and I will say the outdoor patio on the north side it pretty awesome during the summer months. Plus, the patio is dog-friendly!

Because you are in Colorado and will probably want to try a local brewery, I suggest going to Steamworks Brewery in Downtown Durango for lunch or happy hour.

Whether you’re eating lunch or just going for a beer, definitely order the dirty fries as an appetizer. I’m drooling just thinking about those fries!

Zia Taqueria also puts a huge emphasis on having locally sourced food which is probably why the food always taste so good every time we eat here.
What to Order: Sinaloa (chicken) or Barbacoa (beef) burrito, fish tacos and if you’re dining in on the weekend don’t miss the homemade tamales.
