Serving Aspen the Finest Mexican Food & Cocktails at 7,910 ft.

Las Montañas, located in the heart of downtown Aspen, serves Mexican food highlighting Tex-Mex classics (think queso and chips, table top sizzling fajitas, enchilada combo platters, and housemade tortillas) as well as ceviches and aguachiles. Cocktails and agave spirits, as well as our extensive wine list, round out the full Las Montañas experience. We are open 7 days a week for afternoon snacks, happy hour, and dinner.

The second floor restaurant, with views of the surrounding mountains, includes a large dining room with table and booth seating, large bar, outdoor patios, and ample space for large parties. The colorful interior, designed by Lambert McGuire Design, features familiar Mexican elements such as arched door openings, weathered wood detailing, bright tile, and rustic furniture.

    Family friendly! Warm and lovely classic Mexican vibe. Food was way better than expected…I’m from Southern California and often find the Mexican food around here inedible, but this place serves homemade chips and salsa, tasty apps, and nice fajitas. Definitely more Sonaran/Tex-y than Baja style, but totally good. Surprisingly reasonable for Aspen and casual enough to pop out to on a weeknight. Our toddler loves the potato starter!

    Food was great, at a great price for Aspen. The Service was questionable. Got orders wrong, brought the appetizer with the entree, and didn’t fill up water without us asking.

    We’d been told this Mexican Restaurant in the old Jimmy’s location was receiving rave reviews. Unfortunately, we found Las Montanas very disappointing. Service, while polite, was very, very slow. Menu selection was quite lacking, and prices were absolutely ridiculous, even by Aspen standards. Caesar salad was wilted and way over done with the anchovies, and the beef enchiladas were on par with Taco Bell. Mi Cholla is a much better choice for Mexican food in Aspen. Las Montanas will be lucky to last a season.

    My husband and I are visiting Aspen for a few days and dining out is part of the fun of being a tourist. We had an enjoyable.dinner and appreciate that there are some unique offerings on the menu, not just standard Mexican fare. In the spur of the moment, a friend joined us— I shared my salad with him and he ordered an entree and a drink for himself. Our server took it all in stride, without any problem at all.

    When this first opened it was one of our favorite restaurants in Aspen. They have changed the menu and raised the prices again. Chicken enchiladas were $34. Rice and beans were extra. Quality of the food was average. Margaritas were $22 each. We ordered beef tacos , chicken enchiladas, appetizers, margaritas and the bill was over $200 with tip.

    Everything was delicious. I had crab tostadas, husband had beef enchiladas, 1 kid had a soft taco plate and the other had bean and cheese nachos with steak. We are from Texas so skeptical of Tex Mex elsewhere, but we loved the food. The ONLY negative I have is the margarita mix was awful. Wine selection great though.

    Great experience, Jimmys was well replaced! Not as expensive as people are saying. Very comparable if not better than local competition. FOOD, outstanding. Get the Octopus and the enchilada verde. Next time we will try the fajitas as they were wafting by our table this time and smelled irresistible! Omar was our waiter, it was SO nice to experience a friendly spirit who seemed genuinely happy we were there. Loves his job and the food he is serving. We will be back! thanks for a great Aspen dining experience!

    Best restaurant I’ve been to in Aspen. Food, service, ambiance, fun—all 5 stars. I’m local to the Rockies and have been to restaurants from Vail to Aspen. Las Montanas is my favorite. Excellent wine list. Try the pineapple and ribeye fajitas and chocolate mousse dessert. Fabulous.
