Bellota - Denver

We came here today with a couple of friends and it fell short. The service was okay but the enchiladas entrees were incredibly salty and inedible. It was such an unpleasant dinner. Honestly nothing remarkable. The source has amazing food spots, this is NOT one of them.

Interesting local, good modern Mexican food. Only downside: some of the arugula leaves were yellowish, something you’d not expect in such a nice place. Delicious churros!

Delicious food and my server Natasha was very attentive and helpful with my menu choices. Also loved the patio!

Great ambiance and service. Shrimp taco was oustanding, and the frozen margaritas were refreshing and delicious. Mushroom taco wasn't as good as expected. Love the open kitchen!

Oh look, another "Mexican" restaurant in Denver that fails miserably and makes me not want to go back..or try another Mexican place in town. I'm telling you, most restaurants here do not know to cook very well, or season their food. It's disrespectful.Bellota gets you with the menu looking decent, but it's when you start tasting the food when you realize it's just another letdown on the Mexican food I know and love so much being one of my favorite cuisines to enjoy.The star of the show was the chips and salsa (smoky morita, spicy verde, chile de arbol) and that was it. And I'm not going back to a restaurant just for their chips and salsa I'm sorry. The esquites tasted like they scooped the corn out the can and threw some added ingredients on top to church it up, not impressed. The "queso fundido" dish was a crime to order and to try- I would never consider that to be queso but hey the ethnicity isn't really here in Denver either. I got two tacos for my entree and a side of "Mexican rice" that tasted like white rice, no joke.The carnitas taco wasn't bad, but the shrimp taco was the worst one I've ever had anywhere. ANYWHERE. It's a pathetic excuse for a taco throwing shrimp in a tortilla, melting the cheese and crisping it up. It is a lazy attempt from whoever designed the menu to include a shrimp taco item and it should be taken off or revamped as soon as possible.Ate there last night, woke up today feeling very ill. Thinking I caught food poisoning but it's not the first time in Denver, nor will it be the last sadly. If you been wanting to check this place out in The Source, just go ahead and scratch it off your list I just saved you some time, money, and from getting sick. I will not be back myself to try anything else from them.

Loved the atmosphere, a place to hang with friends and enjoy company. Ordered 2 enchiladas Rojo and green chili, very unpleasantly salty, but they deducted it off the bill. The carnitas were awesome!

So fresh and delicious with a hint of wood smoke flavorsWill come back for dinner

Really just OK food. Service was pleasant and attentive but I just don’t understand the hype for this place. Shared plates are fine, but again, nothing outstanding to write home about. Shrimp taco was downright gross but all other entrees were serviceable. Would probably recommend the chili relleno if you happen to give this place a try.

A fair place for the price given it's environment, food and beverage. It's located in The Source Hotel and Market Hall facility. It was in Market Hall 1 and was a bit challenging to for us to locate. Even the security guard was unsure of it's location.Once located, the service was "friendly but inattentive" as previously reviewed. It took a couple of minutes for a hostess to come to the front and get us seated despite the restaurant being approximately 1/3 full. Our order for drinks was taken quickly and the house margaritas were pretty good. For appetizers we ordered chilaquiles and esquites (corn). The chilaquiles were good and the esquites mediocre. The corn itself was not particularly flavorful and/or overwhelmed by the seasonings. The carnitas and shrimp tacos were very good with great flavor and a couple of barbacoa less so.The cost with 2 diners was slightly north of $100 for 4 drinks, appetizers as noted and 5 tacos (only four actually ordered) . This included the price of food and drink, a 6% Community Value Charge(?), and added tip? This did not include parking of $8 in the garage which is clearly posted.

Parking: Per their website and clearly posted in the garageThe Source offers a 300 stall garage on-site and additional short-term parking directly in front of the market hall.Self Parking Rates:1st hour - free2 hours $83 hours $164-24 hours $24 (Daily Max)Overnight $24A lost ticket will result in a charge of $25Guests must be 21+ to check in at the Source Hotel.

We ate tapas style an enjoyed the Margaritas with Mezcal, the Queso, the Mexican Caesar salad, the pork belly, the ahi tuna (very spicy) and the taco flight (absolutely fantastic). Fun place and we will return.

Food was all great! Service was exceptional and atmosphere was ok. We sat right next to the speaker and it was very loud, but we got there at 4p, not sure why the music needs to be blasting during happy hour. But overall really great.

Never left a review anywhere before but just had their breakfast burritos and it was probably the best thing I’ve eaten in years. I hope they roll these out long term. The customer service is always top notch and so friendly. Highly recommend.

The margarita is one of the best I've had! Very much enjoy Mezcal Monday too. But, the food is amazing. The chicken enchiladas (do Christmas, with both green and red sauce) are great, arguably some of the best in town!

We went here with friends. It wasn't too crowded. It's inside the Source Hotel. I had the Enchiladas de Pollo. It was good. Everyone enjoyed the food they ate. The margarita was good. It wasn't huge, but that's ok for me.

Positives: The vibe and atmosphere are great! The staff is friendly and cool.Negatives: The food…The “Mexican Rice” is just steam butter rice maybe some limeThe waitress described everything as larger but they were just average size street tacos that didn’t taste as good.This morning it felt as if me and my friends went to Taco Bell after a night of drinking. My poor stomach?
