“Great beer, great atmosphere!”

“This was our first time here but it definitely won't be our last. Great food, friendly service and an overall great experience.”

“Walked in on a whim because I knew my 4 year old needed to eat something. I figured it would either be fantastic food or it would at least stop the whining. It was amazing. We walked in and were greeted warmly, the food was amazing and my son was happily full. Highly recommend making the stop if you're in the area or driving through.”

“We stopped at Wild Mountain Cafe while driving through town after a football camp at Western University, and it ended up being the perfect little reset for both of us. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and full of personality. You can tell this place was created with intention. The coffee was incredible. Smooth, rich, and exactly what we needed after a long day. Truly some of the best coffee I’ve had in a long time. Every sip was just that good. And the food options were just as impressive. Fresh, thoughtful, and perfect whether you’re grabbing something quick or staying awhile. What stood out most, though, was how this place makes you feel. It’s not just a coffee shop. It’s a space where you can slow down, catch your breath, and enjoy the moment with the people you love. We’re so grateful we found this spot. It turned a simple stop into a really special memory. 🩷”

“I have family friends in Salida, CO and was visiting in June. Mountain Phoenix coffee was recommended to me and I can honestly say I've never tasted anything like it! It is full-bodied and has layered notes that elevates it from the average one-note coffee. I'm back East now and have it shipped because I haven't found another coffee bean that tastes the same. Highly Recommend!”

“Absolutely delicious!! The staff is incredibly friendly. I would gatekeep but I want them to be a permanent spot in Salida!”

“order the Tony Alva!!!!!!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We’ve been fans of Lil Smokies BBQ since the very beginning — truly following along and cheering them on from day one. Those “golden nuggets” (aka the pork belly bites 🤤) are hands-down the best we’ve ever had, and the BBQ? Absolutely unmatched. Best around, no contest. We miss having them close, but we’re always cheering them on from afar. And anytime they’re back in Cañon City, you can bet we’re first in line for some seriously delicious BBQ. Worth the wait every single time! 🔥🥩 — Yard Expression & Balloons”

“The food and relaxed atmosphere are great. The owner is super cool. Stopping by for some brisket is one of my favorite things to do in Salida. Highly recommend.”

“Absolutely awesome food and great customer service. The owners are awesome people all around! 6 stars for these guys all day everyday! Highly recommend this establishment for your lunch and dinner needs.”

“Best Thai food in salida - and great prices for the servings. All of their curries are amazing but green is my favorite (the eggplant slaps). It’s my go-to comfort food, and David always puts a smile on my face :)”

“The food is great. Been here 3x and everytime the food is on point. Tonight was my daughters birthday so we decided to come to amicas for some delicious food. We got just that. But the service wasnt as good as the food, and not even from our server. She was wonderful, especially to the kids. But the bartender, who has never served us, followed us out of the restaurant to tell us to never come back on her assumption that we didnt tip. She said that my husband (who has never been to amicas without me) has caused issues before and she thought we didnt tip. We have never had issues before.... & we left a $20 bill on the table for a tip on a 79$ tab. 18% was suggested at 16$. We gave her a little over 25%, so im not sure where she had the right to say anything to us to ruin our experience when we didnt even know who she was either.😔”

“Best sandwiches ever! Can’t wait to go back.”

“The food was really good. We enjoyed everything. Even the chips and salsa was fresh and delicious.”

“We love Tacos Rioverde and often make the 2 hour roundtrip drive to eat there. The chicken tacos are my favorite. Always friendly service and the freshest ingredients. If I lived in Salida, I would be eating here every day!”
