Cinco de Manitou

No Cinco de Mayo would be complete without some great Mexican food, so I took Stella out for a spin through Garden Of The gods and then up to Crystal Park Cantina for dinner. The restaurant is located off the beaten path in the hills high above Manitou Springs.  I love the way this place is tucked into the hillside with its awesome patio. Deer are frequently spotted grazing in the areas just above the patio. The Mexican Mixto was a great selection, featuring a chili relleno, beef enchilada, chicken taco, saffron rice, and pinto beans. Both food and service were excellent as usual.  Open Tuesday - Sunday 11:00am - 9:00pm.  Closed on Mondays.
