Restaurants near Dolores

“Best coffee and scones around”

“Have been here a few times now, good experiences both times. Both the baristas have been friendly. When I dined in, the barista working was quite friendly and even offered to remake my drink when I said I didn’t love it. Good coffee! ☕️”

“Had a wonderful Mother’s Day until we went out to eat and the chief of fire or an older firefighter from his logo on his truck trash talked me and my family when my husband took my daughter out of the restaurant for fussing a little bit. We understand restaurant ettiquette and I wish I could thank the wonderful people who graciously paid for our lovely meal. The food and service were fantastic! I would happily eat here again as long as none of the fire department were present after this experience. The person who was exceptionally rude and brought a mother to tears was grey haired white male with a female and an other couple of similar age. All were rude and apparently has a history of making staff cry over how rude they can be. As long as the fire department isn’t there, this is an amazing restaurant that I would love to return to in the future.”

“🙂👍 Tyler and the staff do a great job!”

“This is one of the best places to eat! Their burgers are huge, onion rings were crispy and delicious and they have soda that is amazing! I am looking forward to eating here again next time I’m in town!”

“love 💕 the people love the town of Dolores Love ❣️ montezuma Mexican 🌮🌮🌮🌮 🌮🌮”

“We have never had bad food at Mi Mexico. Everything is delicious. The owner is always on site- cooking or greeting guests. The restaurant is very comfortable and decorated well. There is a large enclosed porch and a garden deck for summer dining. Always great service! By far the best Mexican Restaurant around Montezuma County!”

“I've had so many wonderful meals at The Farm Bistro and made some great memories with friends and family while eating there. I especially like the Chicken and the Egg salad (my lunch time go to) and the Harissa chicken sandwich with that yummy pretzel bun♥️ I Highly recommend The Farm Bistro!”

“Stopped in for a dinner to celebrate being back in Colorado and I'm happy I made the choice. The al pastor and birria tacos were delicious. The salsa was so yummy I asked for it to go so I could bring it home. Great place and staff!”

“Pickup order of the ped ra chi nee. The bad- shrimp was missing from the dish and the squid was overcooked and rubbery. The good- the duck was perfect, and the curry sauce was very good. I give 2 1/2 stars out of 5 for the missing ingredients and the price for missing them. Would still recommend trying though.”

“The best Mexican food in town. Very friendly staff.”

“Great beer, but bar service was unwilling to engage in conversation or answer any questions.”

“The food was AMAZING and excellent service and prices. I'm afraid, since I don't live there, that the Frito pie is going to live rent free in my head for a while.”

“Excellent food and service. The best in Cortez!”

“Well, I can testify to all those five star reviews. The restaurant was busy but I had no wait. The service was absolutely amazing. The chips and salsa appeared while I sat. The additional cabbage dish was unexpected and delicious. Could make a meal of it. Seemed like the entire staff was my personal wait staff. The food was delicious and portioned generously. As a big eater I got a to-go box. It was a little noisy but only because it is so popular. Nice bottled and draft beer selection. On top of all this it was priced less than the other Mexican restaurants in town. Totally recommended.”

“Great Cappuccino Server very quickly! Loved the Setting and the people’s friendliness”

“Excelente lugar, buena comida y atencion al cliente”

“If you’re from California? You have to make a stop here!!”

“El mejor lugar que he probado en Cortez Colorado”

“Where do I start. Food is great. Service was excellent, and friendly. Good atmosphere. Of the five so restrants in Cortez we eat in, this was far better than the others. They were OK, but Destination Grill was gooood.”

“Great food and service! The sliders were great! The tea was delicious. Eating outside was great! Our waitress and cook did an awesome job.”

“Great service and Good coffee”

“Not your average diner. The full menu even includes Eggs Benedict. The Chorizo Benedict is a refreshing take on the traditional theme. Service is excellent. Nice to see happy people these days. Of the four days we were in Cortez, Beny's had the best food.”

“we recently visited Cortez and stopped at pippos for breakfast the first day, it was so good we had to go back the next day! fantastic food, amazing service, very clean.”

“we spent our anniversary dinner at Shiloh's and could not have been more pleased! I got the steak tips and my husband had the smoked ribeye, both were perfect. beautiful atmosphere and great service. highly recommend.”

“amazing breakfast burrito 🌯 and coffee ♡ highly recommend”

“Anytime I’m anywhere near Cortez, I make it a point to stop by Cold Stone Creamery. There’s just something special about this location that makes it stand out from the rest. It doesn’t feel like a typical chain ice cream shop — it feels personal, welcoming, and comfortable, almost like hanging out in someone’s living room with really good dessert.

A big part of that experience comes from the owners, Jeremy and Raedene. You can tell they genuinely care about the store and the people who walk through the door. They’ve created an atmosphere that feels relaxed and friendly, where families can sit down and enjoy time together without feeling rushed. The dining area is clean, cozy, and inviting, which makes it easy to stay awhile and enjoy every bite.

As for the ice cream — it’s honestly the best around. The flavors are incredibly creamy, the ingredients taste fresh, and the portions are generous. Watching the staff mix everything together on the frozen stone never gets old, and they do it with skill and enthusiasm. Whether you’re ordering a signature creation or building your own masterpiece, it always turns out delicious.

The team working there deserves recognition too. They’re upbeat, polite, and clearly enjoy what they do. That positive energy carries through the entire shop and makes the whole experience even better.

If you’re looking for amazing ice cream, friendly faces, and a great atmosphere, this is the place. I highly recommend stopping in — you’ll quickly see why it’s such a favorite.”

“Traveling thru Cortez - this was by far the BEST Mexican food I have ever had! I had the spinach enchilada plate, my husband had the chili relleno & Chimichanga. I personally don't normally eat everything on my plate. I usually get a to-go box to eat the rest later. We both cleaned out plates! The atmosphere was amazing. 2 enthusiastic thumbs up!”

“Great sales! Fish counter lady goes above and beyond for you! Produce and meat best in town. Helpful grocery sackers, always offer to help. Thank you guys for the work you do for us!”

“Nice casual spot with pizza, tacos (on taco Tues), & burgers (tho on Taco Tuesday) & some other items. Beer, liquor also available at the bar. Pizza made to order was quite decent, esp. for a small town in the middle of very sparsely populated area. Another plus: open fairly late (til 9p on a weeknight) for a dining option in that part of the country--most spots close earlier.\n\nVery comfortable atmosphere. Super staff. Entirely pleasant all the way around.\n\nDon't get me wrong--I wouldn't give their pizza a 5 if it was in a metro. But it's not & the pie's decent. The overall experience is even better, so it gets a 5 from me.”
