Cafe Silvestre

The service is always very nice here. I have never been in when they are very busy, so I don't know if that makes a difference. The food is probably the best Mexican food in town. I like their taco salad. I order extra meat and a side of green chili 😋

I live right by this place and have been wanting to give it an honest try. Here’s my review and I hope it helps the owner/management improve. It’s Gunnison, service, quality and price are notoriously bad so I almost expect that with everything in this town. That being said, the service was excellent! The atmosphere was fine, I don’t love hearing “Mr. Brightside” while “enjoying” a margarita and chips and “salsa”. Now my quotations are there for a reason, I’m not sure there was tequila in my $12 margarita and I’m quite certain the salsa is made with marinara sauce. That would be my first suggestion, start over with the salsa recipe, it is terrible and it cost $2.75. My enchiladas were fine, there were chunks of some kind of meat mixed in with my sauce, I ordered cheese and chicken enchilada

This is a favorite destination when we come through Gunny. I have celiac disease and they know more than enough to steer me to the safe foods. LOVE their tamales and green chili!

Food was okay Mexican food (not exactly authentic). Staff started out polite and helpful, but then the lady manager was very rude near the end when we asked for an itemized receipt. The lady manager who was the rudest, then took about 30 minutes to use their outdated way of writing down each of the expenses on a note pad and their individual prices. Seemed a little sketchy since they take out an automatic 20% for larger groups, hence why we wanted an itemized receipt to confirm. I would of given 3 stars but the lady manager really ruined it. Rest of the staff was nice though.

Stumbled across this restaurant while visiting Gunnison CO. The food was fantastic, Kelsey waited our table and was great. I would recommend this place for great Mexican food.
