About 2 and change hours west of Denver, there’s a small town called Red Cliff. Now, Red Cliff used to be the center of the Eagle County…that is until a ski resort called Vail moved into town. But even though Vail redefined the valley, Red Cliff still prospers, and boasts some of the best fish tacos in the ironically landlocked state of Colorado.
There’s lots of trout here. I’m not sure if they use trout in their fish tacos, however. I’m not much of a fish girl—but when I went to Mango’s I definitely got one of their fish tacos (only $2 on Thursdays!). And they were good, even in my landlubbin’ opinion! See, the thing is, Mango’s is known for their fish tacos so famously, people pack the house on Thursdays no matter what the weather, be it torrential downpour or blizzard. And if you don’t want to drive over Battle Mountain Pass to get there (and maybe imbibe on a couple of brewskis) they’ll pick you up and get you there themselves! Now that’s customer service!
Their other food is great, too. I also had an incredible steak taco, and fantastic jalapeño poppers as a table app. Very flavorful, and not too picante!
And the prices are right on—definitely much less than the normal Vail Valley prices! Affordable for all, even raft guides!
