Las Animas Grill sits in downtown, in one of the many restored buildings. I believe this one goes back to 1901 (or maybe the 1800s?). Tall ceilings and it's a fairly spacious place with bar seating. Though they advertise craft beers, I wouldn't suggest you go here for that reason. Their tap offerings are mainstream. They do offer a bit more variety with their can selection, but still nothing you can't get elsewhere in Colorado. So we settled on water. Then we proceeded to order. Mrs. RJG was craving a cheeseburger, and so was I. Needed to be cooked well-done dictates Mrs. RJG. It's amazing to us how few restaurants actually listen to that simple request. But Las Animas cooked it to perfection and it was delicious. I added green chiles to mine, which were mild, but flavorful. We had the hand cut fries, which were also excellent. Las Animas is definitely geared more toward the gastropub side of the aisle, and feels chef driven. That comes with a cost, but we felt it was worth it. A wonderful overall experience to start our Trinidad day.
The above visit, only 3.5 years ago, was packed to the rafters with patrons. On this late morning, only a handful were here - inflation no doubt wiping out the regulars and curiosity seekers. Hopefully they can weather the storm. Despite an unenthusiastic general public, the cooks were ready to please. Mrs. RJG went for the smash burger, double meat and cheese (who was this woman I was dining with anyway?). She loved it, and reminded her of Wayback Burgers that we enjoyed in Woodland Park earlier this year. I had the regular cheeseburger with green chile strips, lettuce, and pickles. It too was excellent, and in particular the pickles, something odd to call out but there it is. I also ordered a side of chile cheese fries with red and green that we both shared. I had to ask for a spoon. Good chile, though not overly distinctive, and certainly not thick enough to cover fries. The latter, regardless, was excellent.

Great food. Great server. Fun place. We stopped during travel. I had the breakfast burrito. Super tasty!
I would like to thank the restaurant for providing me with the best food and delivery service when Doordash was not available due to a massive snowstorm that closed the I25 southbound. I'm a trucker and I cannot thank the restaurant enough, God bless this restaurant and the employees, you guy kept me fed for the three days I was stranded.

Great food and service! We also loved all the old pictures from Trinidad and the surrounding areas.
We dropped in for an early dinner based on many recommendations and were not disappointed. The atmosphere is wonderful. It's bright, clean, and clearly well attended. We were greeted immediately and the staff made us feel at home from the jump. Our bartender/server Rob was so great... his recommendations were spot-on and he was always close for questions or fun conversation. The best part of the visit was the food. The standard cheeseburger (add bacon and garlic mayo) was unbelievably good. Delicious, perfectly prepared and boosted into orbit with the addition of the truffle fries. Eating this burger felt like 100 tongues on my ballsandshaft. Needless to say, I can't wait to return for that experience again.

Great menu food, but even better specials. Full bar, drink specials, and cold beer. Family friendly, family owned and operated.
Kid-friendliness: Couple toys and games to keep kids happy, kids menu.
Forget this restaurant the owner Charges to use a card for payment and is very disrespectful to his employees. Don’t support these actions or eat the over priced items they sell.
Parking: Nowhere to park where you can keep an eye on your belongings due to the number of homeless people around.
