12 Best Vegan Restaurants near Poncha Springs

“I usually dont take the time to post too many reviews. Good or bad. But there is always occasions where one is definitely called for.

We went in for dinner on a Friday night there for the first time. We ordered some food to eat in and got some to go. When we received the bag to take home it appeared to have enough containers inside to amount to the food we ordered. However when we got back home to Westcliffe I relized that my one of my entrées were not there. I was very excited to try thier Pad Thai and that was missing.
I called them the next afternoon and explained the issue and asked if I could swing back sometime over the weekend as we dont live right in Poncha and pick it up. They were so accommodating and understanding and had no issues in accommodating me to whenever I would be able to make it.
Come to find out it was a ordering misunderstanding on both the waitress and myself. But they still had no issues and were incredibly friendly to make sure I was taken care of. The food was delicious. The staff was great in all areas. I would definitely recommend going if you are a Thai food fan. It does not dissapoint in all areas.“

“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.😔“

“First time here and my friends and I wanted to try it all! We settled for breakfast burritos and the best Mediterranean Salad ever, topped off with a large drip, a hot chocolate topped with whipped cream and a Bunny’s spiced latte with notes of cinnamon and nutmeg. Two thumbs up and a double snap. Love this place.“

“Hongo el Ajo es muy delicioso“

“Absolutely loved this place. Was looking for a quick lunch. I asked the waitress what she suggested and she suggested the southwest burger. It was amazing! And the good came surprisingly quick. The atmosphere had that classic cafe style. It was great“

“Ate here yesterday. And wow!! Not only was food out of this world, but service was top notch! I have an allergy to mushrooms, and we ordered the salad that has mushrooms, and they followed allergy guidelines to a T! Brought the salad out, changed gloves and then brought the mushrooms out. Will be back again and again! Thank you all for a great experience!!!“

“If you're looking for a restaurant that combines great food with one of the best dining views in Salida, the Boathouse Cantina absolutely delivers. The outdoor seating overlooking the Arkansas River is what makes this place truly special. Sitting on the patio while watching the river flow by creates a relaxing atmosphere that's hard to beat, especially on a beautiful Colorado evening. It's the kind of setting where you find yourself wanting to stay long after you've finished your meal.

The food was every bit as enjoyable as the location. Everything arrived fresh, flavorful, and well prepared, with generous portions and plenty of attention to detail. The menu offers something for everyone, making it easy to find a favorite whether you're stopping in for lunch or dinner. The drinks were cold, the ingredients tasted fresh, and the overall quality exceeded expectations.

Service was friendly, welcoming, and attentive without ever feeling rushed. The staff genuinely seemed to enjoy what they do and made us feel like valued guests from the moment we arrived until we left.

Boathouse Cantina is one of those places that perfectly captures the laid-back spirit of Salida. Between the outstanding riverside seating, delicious food, and excellent service, it's an easy five-star experience. Whether you're visiting town or you're a local looking for a relaxing meal with an unbeatable view of the Arkansas River, this is a restaurant you'll want to return to again and again.“
