One review says:
If you want authentic tacos, this is the place. There is usually a line and a little bit of a wait and a little above average when it comes to prices, but it is extremely worth it. Give it a try you can't go wrong. - Dan D.
Well, if there is a wait, that is a good sign.

This place rocks. Plain and simple. A must stop in Glenwood Springs.
I've been here a few times over the last few years. Slope & Hatch is a taco and hot dog spot in Downtown Glenwood Springs. It's a no frills menu with creative options and worldly flavors. It's the funky little place that you'd expect to see Guy Fieri visit. - Matt C.

A review:
This Mexican food place is home to anyone in California. What I love is that they have cabeza and lengua tacos along with dishes that allow people to make multiple build your own tacos. The service is very rapid and the ambiance between soccer games and music has me feeling like I am at home. I would encourage anyone living here or visiting to experience this authentic hole in the wall at least once! - Stephen L.
