Considering all of the places I’ve tried while visiting Durango, Switchback’s in definitely in the top. The food is reasonably priced, smaller portions, but really had amazing flavor. Service was good, we all had water so no real refills, but our waitress checked on us a few times. I had the 3 for $12 tacos. They were a little small but packed with flavor. I had the steak and the shrimp and both were good with the steak a little better. Also had the elote and was not disappointed. It was really good also.

This place is special, and they KNOW how to flavor their tofu. The vegan fries were so good that I didn’t even snap a pic, and then they modified the taco salad to make it vegan with the cashew crema and more of the awesome tofu! I hope these awesome vegan offerings stay strong at Switchback.

Switchback is a modern take on Mexican food with a great bar, good food selection and good service.
Located right on the main street in Durango, Switchback has an extensive menus of tacos and related Mexican dishes. I loved the three dip trio (you can choose three dips from a menu of five or six). The tacos were good if slightly small. The upside is you get three for $12 and that’s good value for money.
If you want a casual dinner, this is a great choice.

My family didn’t plan ahead well and we didn’t have a reservation for Saturday, 2/14, when we landed in town to go skiing. A Sat night and Valentine’s Day. We called Switchback and asked about the wait and they said no wait at the moment and we said we would be there shortly. They had thoughtfully gone ahead and set a table for us (a great table at the front, I might add). Friendly service, great food, reasonable prices, both healthy and decadent options for food, yummy cocktail – kids were happy, too (including with the churros). We will definitely come back.

Great place for casual eats!
My partner and I were passing through Durango on our way to Pagosa Springs and stopped at Switchback for a bite to eat. We were seated on the patio pretty fast and our server was amazing! Super informative, attentive, and very kind.
We ordered the loaded vegan fries and some frozen margaritas. My partner (being a little bit of a klutz) spilled his drink and the server jokingly gave him a hard time and replaced it for free. The drinks hit the spot on a hot day! The loaded fries had lots of flavor, came out piping hot, and were very filling (even when split by two).
I’d definitely recommend anyone stop here for food and/or drinks, especially if you’re vegan/vegetarian.

Really really enjoyed this place. The service was attentive and friendly. The food was super flavorful, and the seasoning on the portobello mushrooms was on point. They really did a great job with their vegan options. The cashew crema had a great flavor and texture.
They also made us a great alcohol free margarita.
Highly recommend this place.

Undoubtedly the greasiest and rather less tasteful food I have had in years. The food is buried in greasy fries that try to hide that taste with an over abundance over spices. One dish laced with greasy cheese was inedible. The absolute worst $50 I spent in a very long time. You know that 100%… I will never be going back.

Really good fajitas, and tasty margarita flight! My husband got some beef tacos and serving size was for little babies. Especially for the price, would be smart to make more appropriate serving sizes.
Would come back for the tequila flight & fajitas!

Called in an order for Birra Tacos. I am from Texas, so some friends around town told me to check out switchback. This is how it went… The call was answered in 2 rings by the bartender, I believe. My order was taken down in a fast and efficient fashion, and he was extremely polite. The tacos were as I ordered with no onions perfect. Upon reaching the location, the bartender helped me with my pick-up order again extremely fast. This was on a Saturday and it was very busy. Fast friendly service, and the tacos were very juicy with extra sauce to go. They even gave me a fee chips with my order. Highly recommend
