Taco Libre

There are plenty of taco spots in Durango, and Taco Libre is one of the top options. This spot on Main Avenue (just follow the music and you’ll find it) is a fast-casual cantina that’s great for larger groups—there’s bar service in the front, plenty of seating for self-service diners in the back, and lots of parking options nearby.

Place your order at the front counter and seat yourself at the large tables, booths, or on the backyard patio. Their mezcal cocktails and margaritas are great, and so are the gordita and Papa Libre, a Mexican spin on a baked potato. Two full-size luchadores are squared up in the center of the restaurant, and four big TVs are almost always set to ESPN.
