Fairly standard food for a Mexican restaurant in the US, but it was all well prepared from fresh ingredients. We enjoyed it very much. Service was great, noise level allowed us to have a great conversation over our dinner. Recommended.

This is one of my favorite places to go in Durango and to bring friends. You get so much food for your money that you can take leftovers home for a second meal and everything I've had is delicious. The staff is always very friendly and helpful. Enjoy!

Nayarit had really good food and the waitress was very personable. The enchiladas and chimichanga were excellent. I ordered a carne asada street taco with dinner that was not delivered. After 3 requests for the taco, it came to the table in a to go box so they could turn the table.😵‍💫

Very typical Mexican food. Ambiance was nonexistent unless you’d been able to sit outside. Still a strip mall Mexican restaurant.

Food was blah… basic Mexican options; food was over cooked, burnt, charred 😞 service just ok, not the typical friendly you get in downtown Durango area.

I had the carne asada. It was tough and under seasoned. Someone else at the table had the pollo asada. It looked much more appealing, they said it was good.

Really good food but there were some things on the online menu which weren’t available. One of these was a mole someone at our table really wanted - kinda a staple. Servers were very nice and prompt but the bar was very slow! Overall a fun evening but could have been better. Will definitely try again.

We had a reservation at 7pm for 3 people. When we arrived they said that they didn't have any tables available. Not sure the point of making a reservation if they don't reserve a table for you. Not happy

We made reservations on Open Table for 5:30 only to find the restaurant closed over the holidays. I’m glad they close down to celebrate and give their employees time with families, but coordination through OpenTable needs to be improved.

If I could give zero stars, I would. We had reservations through Open Table. We showed for our 6:15 reservation. Was told they don't take reservations. Well, yes they do. They just don't honor them. The hostess could care less. The manager looked at their Open Table and saw there were in deed reservations out there for the restaurant. All we got was sorry. Get on the wait list with all the other walk ins. Why would they seat walk ups and not honor reservations. Will NEVER eat here again.

Kitchen was overwhelmed with the crowd. Our food took over 1 hour to get to our table. When it arrived it was well prepared, hot and very enjoyable. Just too many orders foe the kitchen to manage. The service was outstanding, especially under the over crowded circumstances.

We have eaten at the north location many times and it is very good. Friendly people, good food. This was our first and last time at the south location. Service was very underwhelming. Drinks and food slow to arrive, servers forgetting things and unwelcoming. Enchiladas were around room temperature and fajitas were grossly over cooked (rubbery shrimp). Disappointing for $100 tab. Maybe it was a bad night, but we’re staying with the north location from now on.
