Elote? In Durango?
I couldn’t believe my ears. There I was, waiting for a drink at Zia Cantina, the new bar on the second floor of the new Zia Taqueria location, when the world elote caught my ear.
“Wait, what? You’re serving elotes?”
Yep, they were. They were indeed serving up those delicious, salty, spicy...
As a native of south Texas, I am a tough critic when it comes to tacos. The tacos I grew up with were made from scratch with love and a little bit — OK, perhaps a lot — of manteca. I used to love the smell of masa being rolled out from dense balls into flat tortilla rounds on the counter. The best part of this process, though...
The Union Social House, located at 3062 Main Ave., is well off the main strip of bars in Durango. This bar and food truck haven is one of the newer additions to Durango’s drinkery lineup. So new, in fact, that I hadn’t made my way to it before the pandemic shut down life as we once knew it.
That all changed recently,...

Looking for a new spot to grab a bite in Durango? Or, are you looking for a place that isn’t inundated by tourists year-round (yet)? You may want to keep your eyes on the old Zia Taqueria spot on North Main.
When the Zia North location moved to its new location at 2977 Main, it left a prime spot for a new restaurant in...
There’s nothing quite like a good sandwich, some soup, and a salad on a spring day. As a kid, I took for granted how delicious those types of simple food items could be. Sandwiches seemed boring, almost too easy. As an adult, I relish in them.
That said, my young self wasn’t quite off base with those feelings of...
Thump. Thump. Thump.
Those were not the noises I expected to hear when walking into a brewery, but that’s precisely what caught my attention when I stepped into Lauter Haus Brewing Co., one of Farmington’s newest additions to the Four Corners’ microbrewery scene.
Thump. Thump. Thump.
It took a while to pin...
As a lifelong resident of a large metro area, the early parts of my transition to this small mountain town weren’t particularly easy. While I loved the culture and the vibe of Durango, I found myself wishing I had easy access to the things I thought were important.
Things I took for granted in a large city. Things like...

The brand that brought brews like Blue Moon and Miller Lite is now gettin’ onboard the CBD train to America. In January, Molson Coors announced that they would be releasing their CBD-infused beverage line in the United States, according to Westword, and Coloradoans have reason to be excited.
Verywell, a line of...
There’s almost nothing better than sitting down for a good Sunday brunch with friends. Catching up over a meal full of carbs, fats, and booze is exactly what I need to help close out the weekend.
That love of brunch first ignited during my messy twenties at a place called La Strada in Houston, which was famous for its...
There’s nothing quite like being stuck at home with bars and restaurants closed for business. Many of the bars and restaurants in Durango and the surrounding areas were, early on into the pandemic, offering takeout and to-go cocktails to keep the doors open. Now that we’re more than 9 months into the pandemic, the number has...
