El Segundo Vail

If you’re visiting Vail Village, El Segundo is a good option for your Mexican Food fix. They have an expansive menu with a lot of options. I went with tacos and they were excellent. You really can’t go wrong with any of the taco options. My friend had a burrito that was as big as his head and he said it was awesome. We enjoyed some margaritas and sangria. The homemade sangria was okay and the house margaritas were very good. Watch the up-charge if you decide to get some better tequila in your margaritas. There is a main dining area where the bar is and then a back dining area where we sat. It was quite loud and made it challenging to talk. Still, enjoyed ourselves and would recommend giving this place a try.

El Segundo is the spot for solid Mexican (Tex-Mex) food in Vail. After a few nights of fancier meals, we were craving something more casual, and this hit the mark. We kicked things off with margaritas, chips, salsa, guacamole, and queso fundido — all excellent. Our party of six tried a wide range of dishes: tacos (Korean, camarones, ground beef, and crispy fish), which were all great, plus steak and chicken fajitas that were a big hit. We also had taco salads — one with ground beef and one with shrimp — both delicious. Unfortunately, service fell short. Our waitress made an error when entering and delivering our order and brushed it off by saying, “It’s loud here, I didn’t hear.” Despite the mistake, the additional item we were told were not needed remained on the bill. The situation was

An ordinary restaurant in an unusual city. We ordered tacos, ceviche, and hot chocolate. The only truly tasty dish was the tacos — the rest could have been better. The service wasn’t great overall. The outdoor atmosphere, however, was beautiful.

We had such a wonderful experience today at El Segundo, and I can’t say enough great things about the service we received — especially from Shannon. From the moment we sat down, Shannon was incredibly professional, attentive, and genuinely pleasant. She greeted us with a warm smile and made us feel welcome right away. Throughout our meal, she was knowledgeable about the menu, quick to offer suggestions, and made sure everything was perfect without ever being intrusive. Her timing was impeccable, and she handled everything with confidence and grace. It’s rare to find service that feels both polished and heartfelt, but Shannon truly delivered that today. The food was amazing as well, we will definitely be back soon!!

We visited Vail the week of New Years! We had an hour wait, but it was worth it! The food and service were great!
