Took a great road trip recently to get away from the chill and down to the banana belt warmth of Salida. With each visit I find I am never ready to return. Shops and galleries continue to populate the town with unique offerings and the restaurants are Terrific! On this visit I happened upon the Boathouse Cantina.

A view of the Arkansas River was a respite for this snow bound mountain gal dreaming of days on the river.The interior and food was an additional treat. Funky river decor, pool tables, wide-screen TV’s, plus some awesome outdoor seating that I am sure rocks on summer days and nights made me feel right at home with friendly faces offering great food and drink selections.

                             

A huge menu with selections ranging from traditional American Fare to Mexican to Tex Mex and Chilis will fill you up. The Green Chili was especially good as well as the beanless Texas Chili. Salads were choosen as the main entree. Fresh and tasty with perfect portions, they were terrific. All washed down with a New Belgium Fat Tire Ale and an especially good Boathouse Margarita for my companion.

Offering Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner and after hour appetizers,  plus a warm & friendly atmosphere, the Boathouse Cantina is a must stop in Salida!
