Explore Leadville's Mexican cuisine gems with Restaurantji's insights.
“Local tacos in a small town, with Yelp leading the way? Always a home run. Walking in, the menu is to your left, on the wall. We visited in winter and weren't able to take advantage of the outdoor dining area, but found a window booth and were just as happy. It's a small space inside, but man, were we happy to have stopped in. First, let's talk margaritas. After all, what goes better with Mexican food? You're right, nothing! Good margaritas, for me, are a good sign that flavors will be balanced in the entrees as well. Tacos La Mina gets 5 stars. It is the simple things, my friends. Now, on to our food. We started with chips and salsa. I was impressed with the salsa and had to pace myself so have some left for our entrees, lol. Not a bad problem to have. We ordered tacos and soup Azeca. This food was amazing. Bright flavors, great salsas and nothing that overpowered other ingredients. My soup was so very good, light but also tasty and filling. The broth was seasoned well and had that "I've been cooking for hours" taste. Yum. Tacos La Mina is a gem. Def stop in and prepare to be delighted.“
“Did was really yummy--portions were huge! We had fried ice cream for dessert. It was the best we'd ever had. Friendly service & food came out quickly. Definitely recommend.Update-- we've come here every year we've been up this way and the food is still outstanding! If you're eating in Leadville this restaurant should be on the top of your list.“
“Casa Blanca is the BEST restaurant in Leadville! It has been in the same family for many years, making it so consistent. I eat here at least twice a week, and I have never once been disappointed. I promise, best Mexican food you'll find! I recommend the stuffed sopapilla! ? also, best Mexican rice!!!“
“Food is really authentic Mexican. They even have taco al pastor. Service was fast. There were many people visiting for late lunch and many phoned orders before hand. You can choose the salsa for each meal.Truck has couple tables and chairs outside and since it was sunny winter day, we were dining there.“
