The food is marginal. The green lip mussels are so, so hot. The octopus was rubbery. Inedible. Over rated!

My husband and I have been coming El Moro for 2 years for brunch and always have been pleased with both the food and cocktail menu. We have been sad to see all of our favorites removed from the menu and lack of items at the bar on weekends. We are sad to leave but we will be finding a different weekend brunch spot. Locals are the ones to keep you open during off-season.

We have been coming to el Moro for years. We have been sorely disappointed with the changes in the menu. The traditional menu items were omitted. The food is odd. The food was served cold. Service is still good but we won’t be able to continue to support the brunch.

We split the El Moro Burger and fries and we asked for the burger to be cooked medium. The burger was a little undercooked. The burger was seasoned nicely. The fries were done well ahead of the burger and they were barely lukewarm. We received excellent service from the two young gals working the tables in the bar area. We walked 4 blocks from our hotel to the restaurant. I didn’t see their own parking lot.
Note:
1. They automatically add a 20% tip to the bill. We almost always tip 20% for descent service. The servers missed out on a higher tip because I was taken back by their policy.
2. I ordered a Sprite and got a refill. I was not told there is no free refills and I did not see this on the menu. I was charge $8 for two Sprites. This added to me not leaving a larger tip. The servers lose out because of questionable policies.
3. I evaluated the food, service and atmosphere on their own merits and these issues did not impact the rating I gave.

Awesome place, great food and some kick ass people. The main man Tommy hooked me up with a good food choice and did not let me down. Told you I’d leave a review Tommy!

This place was fantastic! I had the smoked salmon, just great. Has a great steampunk vibe to it. Staff is awesome. Got there just after opening for breakfast and it filled up quickly. Not to mention a good Bloody Mary.

Awesome place. The staff was nice and friendly. I went about 45 minutes before closing. I was able to order,eat my meal and have dessert all before close.

The burger was thick and juicy. It hit the spot. Also the French fries we thin and crispy, they were really done well.

The desert was pictured in another review and I had to try it.

This place I will have to visit again when I return to the area.

El Morrow his hands down, one of my favorite places I've eaten. Perfect little restaurant with amazing food. We got the bone marrow, Pork Sugo and Steak Frites.

Although it’s a tavern, the food is surprisingly good. Pictures in reviews for this restaurant is rather outdated, but the quality seems to live up to its ratings. We ordered El Moro Burger (4.5/5) and Duck Confit (5/5) for brunch. Note that the Duck Confit here is different from the usual French one people knows, but the meat is cooked to perfection paired with an amazing sauce.

Sunday brunch was incredible. We sat at the bar, Justine, killed it. Great service, great food, and great cocktails, plus 24 ounce Banquets. What more can you ask for?

We had dinner here last night for my husband’s birthday with our son and the in laws and it was an incredible experience. All of our food was top notch! My husband’s NY strip steak was delicious and my trout was light and flavorful. Drinks were also spectacular across the board. We had Jen and Sierra take care of us and the service they provided was second to none! They were so friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend Moro to anyone visiting Durango! You won’t be disappointed!

We went on a Friday evening. We were seated right away. The fried cauliflower appetizer was very good. The steak frites was cooked perfectly. Duck fat fries were amazing, crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Garlic aioli was perfect. Service was a bit lacking. Seemed short staffed. One of our tables entrees was forgotten. Otherwise nice experience. Atmosphere is very nice.

Came for my birthday and was so disappointed. We come to el Moro for special occasions (we don’t go out often) but it’s always been a favorite. Haven’t been since we bought our house 4 years ago.
We ordered 3 appetizers (we were there for happy hr) and waited 30 minutes, other tables were getting entrees that arrived after us. We then ordered the trout and bavette steak. Waited another at least 30 minutes. Only to be delivered cold food. We sent it back and waiting another 25, my husband got the same steak which was now very well done. Our server never checked on us. They gave us dessert for my birthday but for a $200 tab, cold food and 2.5 hrs we unfortunately probably won’t be back to an old favorite spot.

This place was truly amazing, which was a big surprise. Did not walk in expecting to get such a great meal. We had three appetizers and two entrées and they were all delicious. It was one of the best meals that we’ve had in a very long time. Our only suggestion is that the fries were served cold with the burger. Strongly recommend checking this place out as everything was so wonderful.
