“carne empanada was incredibly delicious, it came with a chimichurri that had amazing flavor. the al pastor has huge pieces of pork belly that were so tender. The quesabirria was very underwhelming, very small amount of meat that didn’t provide much flavor nor did the consome, honestly just tasted like tortilla.”

“I don’t say this lightly, but I think I’ve been emotionally altered by a piece of pastry. My work ordered from Lazo Empanadas one random day months ago, and I genuinely have not been the same since. What I thought was going to be a “quick lunch” situation turned into a full-blown obsession that I was not prepared to manage. These empanadas are on my weekly calendar at least once a week. Let’s talk about the spicy beef empanada, because that thing is borderline dangerous. The seasoning? Insanely bold. The heat? Perfectly balanced—not trying to destroy you, just convincing you that you need another one immediately. The filling is rich, juicy, and so well-composed it feels unfair to other lunch options that are just… existing in its presence. The crust deserves its own paragraph. Golden, flaky, crisp without being dry, and sturdy enough to hold the filling without betraying you halfway through a bite. It’s basically the structural engineering marvel of handheld food. What really gets me is how something so simple can taste so intentional. Nothing feels lazy. Nothing feels “mass-produced cafeteria snack.” It tastes like someone actually cares about your day getting better. I’ve tried other empanadas since then and honestly? They’ve all been compared against Lazo and lost immediately. That spicy beef set the bar and then took the bar home with it. If you’re reading this and thinking, “it’s just an empanada,” respectfully—you are not ready.”

“Overall, the food was very good! The shrimp ceviche definitely stole the show. The braised short rib was good as well, but could have used a little more flavor. The service was incredibly friendly, although a bit slow. It took longer than expected to receive both our drinks and meals. However, the chef acknowledged the delay and graciously comped us an appetizer without us even asking, which was a nice gesture. It may have just been an off night for the kitchen. Despite the wait, we enjoyed our experience. Overall, very tasty Latin cuisine with friendly staff!”

“Hands down the best empanadas I have had in the United States. Having grown up in Argentina, I am constantly craving authentic, traditional empanadas, and this place completely hits the mark. Both the fillings and the dough are absolute perfection. I ordered the carne and the ham & cheese. The crust is extraordinary—light, delicate, and flaky like high-quality pastry, without any of the heavy, dense doughiness you often find elsewhere. A quick heads up: they bake them fresh to order as soon as you place it, so don't expect them to be handed to you instantly. It takes a few minutes, but having them piping hot fresh out of the oven makes all the difference. I initially assumed two would be enough to fill me up, but they were so good I immediately went back to order two more! The chimichurri on the side was the perfect pairing. I am already craving another batch and will definitely be back regularly.”

“Just discovered Zocalito this weekend!!!! DELICIOUS 😋 The service was top notch, the menu was unique, and the prices are very fair. I had the Chicken Relleno and there was not a bite left. Highly recommend!!!! I will most certainly be returning, as this may be one of my new favorite restaurants!”

“We had a great dinner. The most outstanding part was the careful attention from Patty and our server James. We had a guest with a specific allergy and they were so careful to take care of us. We were blown away. Food was delicious too. Don't miss the coconut shrimp!”

“The absolute best coffee shop in Denver! I ordered the Horchata Latte which was served hot in a traditional red clay mug. My beverage was smooth had a delicate body, a gentle sweetness and fruitiness, and an acidic snap to finish off the experience. There was ample, clean space to sit with friends in the courtyard right outside with chairs and tables. The shop was colorfully complimented with locally made goods, homemade Mexican pan dulce, and offered so much more than coffee. They even make atole which takes me back to my childhood! I can't wait to try everything on their menu. This is my new favorite place in Denver and will quickly become yours too!”

“Crossed off my fourth new (to me) restaurant of the year and first in February tonight. Thanks to Lady Nomada in Arvada for such a delish meal! Their specialty taco - fried avocado - was mouth watering. I also had a Baja fish taco and couldn’t help but sneak in a carnitas taco, too. Super cool vibe and friendly staff; I’ll definitely be back again!”

“PHENOMENAL EXPERIENCE! Jay the manager was so well prepared to share history, chef details and menu choices. Viviana our waitress was honestly, one of the most exceptional waitresses we’ve ever had. The tortilla soup was filled with so many delicious ingredients, perfectly balanced spices, and the presentation was perfect. The taco selections were glorious. Crispy exterior corn tortillas, rich with flavors inside! Tender beef, chicken, savory cheese selections. Truly Baja style tacos!!! The churros were stellar. Homemade vanilla enhanced batter, perfectly fried… premium cinnamon and sugar lightly dusted outside, served with warm carmel and chocolate sauces. This place is the most hidden, beautiful gem in the North Thornton/ Westminster/Northglenn area. Gorgeous Interior and seating areas. Very upscale feeling. Perfect meal.”

“My wife and I had 2 breakfast burritos. We know the 2 gentlemen that own and work together. The burritos were the Best we've had! They make their items from scratch. The chef was trained as a Mexican chef in Mexico and his cooking shows it. You'd make a mistake if you don't try their varied and scrumptious items!!”

“Top three short rib for me. Comes with a side of leaf wraps, which just seems like a cheap accessory. Do yourself a favor and also get the chile relleno to pair with it. According to my son top three mac and cheese for him. Three-way potatoes, bland, no bueno. Play on an Oaxaca old fashioned delightful. Mercado Margarita delicious. Service a little loopy, appears to be high turn, I'd put little weight in their recommendations.”
