I have never been more uncomfortable at a restaurant. Our server, young girl brown hair and blue eyes, sat a couple next to us that made us extremely uncomfortable. My girlfriend and I are young, they were older and trying to hit on us and get us out, with our servers help. My girlfriend got so uncomfortable and started crying that she had to leave. After asking the server to move our table she declined, it took her 20 minutes to get my to go boxes. She kept flirting with me and it was extremely inappropriate. I will never come back here again. Our server even placed that couple NEXT TO US after originally seating them at another table across the room. I feel really gross and weird from this experience. We came to eat food and have a good time and ended up getting harassed by our server and some weird key swapping couple.

We dined here tonight, and every single bite was delicious. Our server Allison was helpful and fast. What a gem! We ordered: chips and salsa (each of the three salsas were delicious), fried broccoli, carrots and jicama, wild fries, tacos, tostada, and the chile relleno. I'm a major relleno fan, and this was one of the best I've ever had. The textures and tastes were just delightful. I couldn't drum up a single complaint.As others have noted, the flour tortillas were fantastic.

Disapointing and bad service. The server we had looked sloppy and was sneezing all over the place. Unbelievable. Bathroom also smelt like smoke. The chickpeas in the pozole were so gritty and nasty, barely any meat and almost $15.

I worked at a high-end Latin American restaurant in their kitchen, at their tables, and as their expeditor for a decade. There is very little here to complain about. Most items on the menu are very common and inexpensive. So I ordered cheaply. Chips & salsa, pork tacos, & Chile Rollenos(fried, cheese stuffed peppers), the most basic & cheapest order possible. Everything was made from scratch as the fresh smells surround you and even the chips came with 3 excellent & Very distinct salsas. The pork was excellent but they came with the best(by far!) flour tortillas I've ever had. I've had dozens of stuffed chilies before but never so detailed. Beautiful consistency, good flavor, Very fresh, and one cooks perfect "execution" of their Chef's unique recipe. I only wish I had known and ordered more. Even the bars Hibiscus Cooler was By Far the best I've ever had. Will be back soon.Dietary restrictions: Many Gluten free & vegetarian options. Allergies respected.Parking: Free parking around back. Meters in the front.Kid-friendliness: Kids menu is available and staff is very accommodating. No one can even remember a talkative kid next to them if their eyes are always always glued to their plates.Wheelchair accessibility: Completely accessible

Food was okay, I found the enchilada a bit overcooked and under seasoned. The people were nice, but we did get encouraged to sit at the bar even though we had a table reservation due to them being under staffed.I would also stay from the carrot appetizer, it was paired with a very strongly pickled root veggie that was unclear from the menu description.I probably wouldn't eat there again, but I could see someone having a better experience than me.

Celebrated my 58th birthday at this establishment…and they made it onto my radar after I got to sample their tacos at Taco Fest this summer in Boulder, CO. Their tacos rock…and their frozen margs are excellent!

Wanted to try this new restaurant and was actually quite surprised in some ways, and very disappointed in other ways. The ambience was very nice - place was very clean. The staff was very friendly and accommodating, but this place does leave a lot to be desired. It is true that everything cost so be very careful when you order things because those add up pretty quick. the chips and the salsa taste like something you would get at a store so there's nothing great about it. The drinks were pretty good and not watered down. In fact, I thought they were a little bit strong. Unfortunately for us, we thought the tacos themselves were extremely salty and hard to consume. We tried to cut down the salty taste with the guacamole and rice, but ended up removing at least half of the meat from our tacos and leave it there on the plates. Was really surprised when we got the check we ended up spending over $100 for 2 tacos, two sides of rice, one margarita and a couple beers. I thought that was kind of an outrageous considering that we didn't even eat the tacos because they were so salty. The small bowl of rice was five dollars. The tacos are not huge tacos so it's kind of disappointing that they cost so much. For the amount we paid, you would think that the portions would be very generous, but they're not. Probably would not do this restaurant again. You probably could get better, tastier food - reasonably priced- elsewhere.

Host was unfriendly and on his own time (could’ve just been having a bad day), but our waiter was great and the food delicious! We loved the mole verde enchiladas. Plenty of vegetarian options.

Wow, this food was really bad! So surprised at the good reviews. The mushroom tacos, shrimp taco and veg tostado looked like they'd been prepared hours ago! (They arrived within minutes too..) Very vinegary and over salted and overcooked. The salad looked good but the candied pepitas and excessive dressing over sugared the whole thing. I rarely write reviews but boy, this was bad.. The waitress was attentive but ambience pretty blah

Some of the best Mexican food I've had in Colorado. Had the wild fries and the Chile relleno both of which were great. My girlfriend got the Al pastor torts and said it was the best sandwhich she has ever had.
