With so many Rocky Mountain activities to experience, it is no wonder that a wide variety of dining options are present in the Salida area. After all, visitors work up a healthy appetite in our Arkansas Valley region. There is a treasure trove of options to choose from, anything from a robust cup of coffee and warm pastry to the tantalizing flavors of a gourmet meal. Make sure to save room for dessert, though, since there are plenty of mouth-watering options as well.

The following comments were ‘borrowed’ from the tourist reviewed websites “TripAdvisor“ and “Yelp” and may be helpful in making your dining decision. TripAdvisor has far more reviews than does Yelp, however in some cases we added a few of the comments from the latter site for a more robust review and to represent a wider collection of tastes.

For TripAdvisor reviews, we chose from 2017 postings in which the reviewer has contributed 20 or more reviews. We also listed a “Newbie” section since these new-to-Salida restaurants haven’t been around long enough to garner lots of reviews.

This page does not represent a full-scale Salida Colorado dining review, but it should give some perspective of the more popular dining options. Keep in mind that no matter how good the restaurant may be, there will be times when it may not meet everyone’s expectations—we all have our bad days—but these types of reviews ‘keep it real.’
