4 Best American Restaurants in La Veta

“Please ignore that one negative comment. A group of us meet here again every year for the last ? Many many years. The number doesn't mean much, except to say it is a lot! Since ALYS appeared in la Veta, we have happily been coming here for the ambiance, the food, the setting, the wines, and the happy combination of all of it. Long live Alys and her, and our happy place! THANK YOU, ALYS!!!“

“This place is adorable! So quaint and welcoming, we were so happy to stumble in. Taylor behind the bar sold us on the Vinho Verde, a local favorite, and the seared Ahi Tuna, which was, ofcourse, delicious! We also enjoyed a wonderful spread from their cheese and charcuterie board. We finished with the rich and creamy chocolate Bomba and a Madiera wine that dated back to a 1927 Solera! It was a whole experience! My husband and I would highly recommend visiting this place... if you happen to catch them open :) ♡“

“This place is a gem in such a small area. Bartenders and servers are AMAZING, food is fantastic and I am so excited they are open for the season again. Oh... and the new fish tacos are AMAZING!!“

“We had a great experience at Dog Bar & Grill during our first visit. The deep fried pickles and mushrooms are spot on. I could've eaten the entire tray of the mushrooms - they're fried to perfection! Whatever you get, make sure to ask for a side of their jalapeño ranch dressing. We also ordered the Hangover Burger and bowl of green chili and both were good. If you're driving through southeast Colorado or visiting Cuchara, make sure to pop in. And don't leave without trying the Famous Dog Bar Mud Pie - the perfect mix of ice cream pie loaded with coffee ice cream, almonds, & a chocolate cookie crust. Excited to go back and explore more of their menu.“
