The good: superb service! The bad: cocktails - colored syrup with ice, very little liquor, if any. The ugly: the food.... overcooked carne asada flank steak interred over a pyre of grease saturated Frisbo machine fries. Three dollar tacos: slivers of meat served on goopy corn tortillas that fall apart, best eaten with a spoon. For the price everything was very disappointing.

Birria torta was awesome! So was the prickly pear marg. Place was busy but the staff checked in on us multiple times. Highly recommend it!

The birria ramen tastes like nothing. The broth they use is so greasy you get a bellyache from it. I asked the waiter if he recommended it and he said yes which is why I got it. Absolutely disgusting!!

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.

Service was great. Food tasted great. 2 Stars because the menu online says Tacos are $2.50 but in reality they're $4 - this wouldn't be a problem but they're TINY, 2-bite tacos, they're very very small, and only have 1 tortilla. $4 for a 2-bite taco is absurd. These things are the size of Hors d'oeuvres. If they had 2 tortillas like every other street-style taco then I could see why $4 is the price, but they only have 1 tortilla, they fall apart easily.

Really good tacos with a good atmosphere. Service was fast and friendly, giving some recommendations for other spots around town. Street sized tacos with good chips.

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.
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.

Great vegan options + dog-friendly seating.
Vegan tacos (both options): delicious Margarita flight: infused + spicy + frozen 👌 Switchback vegan fries: perfection. A meal in themselves! Service: great! Very kind + lots of check-ins. Thanks, team!
