Salon Mexico

If you're looking for what has been the best carne asada.... This is the place. Sure, it's in the middle of nowhere, but it's worth it!! Tried the queso and the guacamole.... All very good with good flavor. Topped it off with a couple jalapeno margaritas. The also has good flavor and they brought out sautéed peppers that were a good topping. The service was on top of everything and the atmosphere was relaxing. Thank you for a great meal and experiences!!

Decided to try a local restaurant while visiting family and fairplay and they recommended Salon Mexico. It was around 2 pm when we stopped by and it was not busy. They started us off with complimentary chips and salsa. The salsa was really good! The waiter was very attentive and took our orders promptly. Food came out rather quickly. I ordered the cheese enchilada which came with rice and beans. The enchilada needed more sauce as it was dry and too cheesy. More sauce would fix that. The beans and rice were ok. I wasn't expecting the most amazing Mexican food being from Texas but this was alright. My husband's burrito looks really good and he very much enjoyed it. Prices are very reasonable. All the buildings in Fairplay are historical so it's super neat to dine at some of these places. We all very much enjoyed our meals and would return.

Just don't eat Mexican food in Colorado is my best advice. It is just not good. When you've grown up on South Texas, it's hard to find decent Mexican food anywhere else though. ​

Wow! Delicious dinner this evening at Salon Mexico in Fairplay! Unique and very flavorful salsa delivered with warm chips to start. The house margaritas were quite nice and the beef fajitas - a huge portion - absolutely stole the show! Tender and savory meat grilled to perfection and surrounded by perfect, thinly cut peppers and onions, all delivered on a sizzling platter! Accompanied by yummy beans, rice, pico, cheese, sour cream and excellent guac. The best! Service was very friendly and provided all we needed. The ambiance of the place is unique and well-remodeled. Great dinner!!

Delish! Fast service, excellent food (shout out for the fajitas as well as the salsa that comes with the chips), and definitely try the Gabacha margarita - yum!

It's Fairplay. So you don't know what you're going to get food wise. Salon Mexico was our first meal after arriving for the long weekend. It's in an assuming blue house off of the main drag of State Road 9. And to our hearts content, the food was great!Happy hour margaritas and complimentary chips and salsa was an easy decision. Marg was a tad sweet for my liking, but when you find a marg under $10 these days it's tough to complain. Interesting it was served in a mule mug. The chips passed the crunch test, and salsa was tasty.We shouldn't have ordered the queso fundido, because the size of our entrées were laughably large. The queso fundido didn't look at all like a traditional fundido when presented, due to a generous layer of ground beef atop the cheese. With that being said, this stuff was BANGING. We filled up way too quickly on this and if you tried us you'd know why.Enchiladas Divorciadas hit the table and I couldn't believe the size of the plate. Absolutely massive. Green sauce, red sauce and mole sauce. I opted for chicken, which always seems like the most reliable protein for enchiladas. Delicious from the first bite to the leftovers the next day. Even the rice and beans were good (the true tell of a good Mexican restaurant).Lively setting, massive booths, reasonable prices, locals and travelers alike on a Friday night. One of our favorite meals in Fairplay without question!

If I could give this place zero stars, I would. We went there because it had good reviews but y'all are lying! We are from Texas, and know good Mexican food. We ordered iced tea and didn't get it until after our food arrived. Boyfriend had a chalupa and taco plate. They covered it in their nasty salsa that he didn't ask for. My beef fajitas were over seasoned with something really sweet. The tea tasted like what I would imagine toilet water would taste like. My boyfriend went outside to smoke a cigarette, and I told the waiter we were not paying for our food because of how disgusting it was, and we left. Thank God for the chicken sandwich shop down the road.

Great margaritas and the chili relleno is magnificent.The people are friendly and fun.

We came here last minute after a long day of skiing. We had reservations in Breck, but wanted to stay close to our air BNB. We are all Texans and we were all super impressed! The food was so good! Guac and queso definitely a must. Loved the homemade salsa and flautas, green enchiladas and steak fajitas on point! Wish they had homemade tortillas but they made up for it with amazing service and bomb sopapillas. Loved it and definitely recommend! Family vibe and authentic feel!

Great surprise! We had one pork boritto and veg fajitas. It was delicious. Especially the fajita came with plateful of tasty veggies. Was a huge dish that should be split between two. Was a great positive surprise.
