What a great find. Free chips and salsa inirially. Ordered their smash burgers and boy were the good cooked perfectly, fresh ingredients, fries and a good selection of wine and bourbon. They also had a dessert cabinet with truffles and other delectables.
Service was topnotch, friendly and warm. A true gem in the Colorado mountains.

Cool little place. Despite the name, there is not much of a view. I mean, you are in the mountains which is nice, but if you are expecting a panoramic view, you will not have one here.
The food was flavorful, but it was cold. I had a simple smothered steak burrito. The chili tasted great, and the steak was cooked properly and had good flavor. The only complaint is temperature. I mean, it was really cold.
The staff were friendly, however I did have to wait a while for water. The small complimentary chips and salsa was nice.
I am not against a second shot, I may have caught them a bit early. Other than the cold food, I enjoyed it.

We had dinner here on a Friday night around 6-7pm. Usually if a place is dead on a Friday night, it ain’t no good. Maybe in CO things are different cause this pizza was good. Wasn’t sure what to expect from a Mexican food restaurant that serves pizza and burgers. We decided on the large Pepperoni pizza and it was delicious. Crunchy crust, not super greasy, it was the best pizza we have had in a long time! Will definitely stop back in next time we come up this way.

You got the house margarita half pint and bacon cheeseburger and a pizza. It was all really good. I was honestly impressed on the quality. It was a bit pricey, but considering we were all the way up in the mountains and it was This or a sandwich with chips at the bar below we opted for this. Server was very kind and friendly. atmosphere was really nice too clean establishment. I never got the servers name, but she did a really good job white chick young glasses.

This place would be amazing if they cut up some real potatoes soaked them and made some real french fries, and don’t put tahin on the fries, and if they had a little less salt in the burger It would be perfect especially if it didn’t have that weird tangy tomato mayonnaise that is not a Chipotle aioli. We’re new to the area but when I tell all the locals they apologize for not warning me. I see it as a chance for improvement. I would really like it if this place had good food because it’s not far from my house. I’m definitely scared to go back and try anything else. The prices were definitely reasonable if the food would have been tastier, You would have a returning customer. Maybe give Gordon Ramsey a call. KN

Stopped in for a pre hike lunch as was suggested and everything was great. Our host/server was on it from the time we walked in the door til the time we walked out. We had a huge group and even while other guests were there we all still got our orders much faster than we had anticipated to. The food was amazing, definitely worth what we paid for. We ate inside but there is also an outside decc.

10/10! We’ve ordered pizza from here several times and it’s always hearty and great quality. This time we dined in and I ordered the Birria. Holy smokes! The sauce and the whole dish was amazing! I raved about it all the way home and have plenty of leftovers that I’m looking forward to! My husband’s food looked great and so did everyone else’s! I was honestly blown away. This is not your typical microwaved Sysco food; this is nourishment with soul!

Food and service were phenomenal on Saturday night. I cant wait to go back!
My only suggestion – it would be neat if you had some coloring pages and crayons, or maybe a small stack of games for kiddos to be entertained. We usually bring cards ourselves but forgot them. 🙂 such a cute facility, they bathrooms were kept very clean and the Christmas decor throughout was awesome. We cant wait to come back!

The one and only Wondervu Cafe is doing very well thank you.
I’m a very longtime fan and have seen all the ups and downs
Ricky and the Crew are serving good food ( I had Mexican see photos) came out quickly and joyfully
Chips came out fresh and warm
sauce is tasty not hot
Updated photos!! March 2024
Back again for dinner– the chips came out fast and hot! Same savory not spicy salsa I really enjoyed.
Lots of fresh veggies and avocado slices on the Chicken Chili dinner. Pico on it with corn tortillas very nice.
Went for second entree – steak fajitas! Crazy great salad and fluffy rice on the side with refried beans.
Desert is the awesome Mexican cream puff- try it with the caramel topping.

Music was very loud and there was no one dinning when I walked in. Was very disappointed in the food here. First the chips that came out were fried in old oil and had a weird seasoning on them. Then our dishes arrived and the burger had a sauce that tasted like metal or started to spoil, the meat had WAY too much salt on it, and the fries were cold with tajin all over them. The quesadillas were ok but the chicken in them were chewy. I planned to get some pie before leaving but after having tasted everything I was scared to try the pie… server was very quiet and shy. Prices were at least reasonable; I paid for the food and took it to go so I could mix it with my own food so it didn’t go to waste.
