Winner

The Taco Bar

In the mountain town of Waterton lies The Taco Bar, a little Mexican oasis in the Rockies. Freshness is the name of the game here, from the salsas to the fresh meats grilled daily — once the restaurant runs out for the day, that’s it. Pray you get to try this fast-casual restaurant’s specialty, award-winning guacamole with its take on Mexican street food like burritos and tacos with a variety of fillings.
