"Great place to have inside the Origin. All of the food we had was great and there was a good drink selection. Plenty of good craft beers on draft and the prices were reasonable."
Preston Broadfoot
"Staff were kind, funny, and great.
Food was so low quality. One of the worst burgers I have ever had and the tacos were just meh. That’s just restaurants these days though, what can you do?
It’d be nice to witness some heart and soul go into food quality, preparation, creativity, and presentation, but you will not find that here. Bummer."
Collier Gierke
"What a pleasant surprise Nomad is! When I park at the lots to go to the mountains with friends, we usually just eat in the mountains somewhere but Nomad might be our new go-to! Delicious tacos, a good happy hour and drinks. Will definitely make this a stop on our way back down from the mountains."
