Tacos 2 Day counter at a casual eatery inside Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park.

Birria Tacos steal the show here: the meat is tender, the tortillas are crisply seared, and the broth-like sauce adds a bold, savory kick. Al Pastor Tacos deliver robust pork flavor, while Shrimp Ceviche stays fresh and crisp with avocado and a secret sauce. It’s a casual counter spot with a friendly owner presence that makes you want to return after a canyon day.
