Stowe's lifts and trails aren't yet open for the season, but its Spruce Peak Village is ahead of the game with a new fast-casual Mexican restaurant. Pico Taco, which serves burritos, tacos, bowls and quesadillas with fillings such as adobo squash, garlic butter shrimp, carne asada and Yucatán-style roast pork, opened last Friday at 242 Hourglass Drive. The counter-service taqueria is "a place where you can kick back, fuel up and feel the vibrant energy of the mountains," David Lockard, managing director of the Lodge at Spruce Peak, said in a press release. Pico Taco is open daily, with early hours on weekends to serve breakfast burritos to skiers catching first chair. Burlington's long-awaited rotary-adjacent café and bar, Majestic, is now open.

"Unfortunately, the timing just wasn't right, and the restaurant became unsustainable for us," the post read. The McLaughlins continue to operate the subterranean space at 397 Railroad Street, now called the Bar Downstairs, serving a casual menu of pizza, nachos and wings.
