Tacos were good but small. Shrimp taco had 2 shrimp in it. My margaritas was tiny and full of ice, and half of the margs have Jose Cuervo in them 😬 - for $15, you could use 100% agave tequila, not mixto garbage. Kinda pathetic for a place with TEQUILA in the name. And yet they have a mezcal and sotol menu. Oh Denver...

Service wasn't friendly. It's basically a sports bar with Mexican food. And there's a 3.5% auto fee that wasn't disclosed at all until we paid and received a detailed bill. šŸ˜‘ Doubt I'll be back. Just raise your prices. We're over the fees.

With our party of 5, we tried many different drinks and tacos and every single one was extremely delicious. And the queso was amazing as well.

I ordered a salad to go while on a business trip, and I was impressed. The chicken was incredibly juicy and the portion was generous, which really hit the spot. It’s also located in an ultra walkable area!Unfortunately, they forgot to include the salsa I ordered & utensils, which was a bit inconvenient since I was traveling. That said, the quality of the salad, especially the chicken, more than made up for it!

Delicious food and superb service. I highly recommend the lengua and camarón tacos. The Burris taco is wonderful as well.

Killer tacos. I loved the tortillas on my street tacos. I ordered the Campechano which was lovely. I am a taco snob and this landed beautifully for me. I would have like more heat out of the salsas but I’m a bit crazy when it comes to spice level.

This machete almost chopped my face off. It was stupid good. Bussin tacos for sure

This is a great little funky bar with really good food. Our server Daisy was just wonderful. Very helpful and good suggestions. We never felt neglected or overwhelmed. We were there mid-afternoon and the place was pretty chill. Later on I'm sure it gets more lively. Personally, I'd like to chill.,

Located in the lower level of a strip mall - ambiance is next to zero. Prices are ridiculous - $10 for table chips and salsa (which isn’t called out when they bring them to you)…

$5-$8 for a single street taco. Flavors are decent but not worth those prices. Drinks are overly expensive as well.

But the nail in the coffin is the surcharge for ā€œequitable wages.ā€ No thanks.

A quick lunch for two people before the tip was over $70. That’s pure insanity.

This place was our favorite place to get Margaritas and Mexican food. But last night our family (9 adults) went there to celebrate our youngest daughter 27th birthday. The Margs and appetizers were still good but our server was terrible! She was unprofessional, rude. We needed to accommodate a couple more family members at our table and she just pointed at a near by high top with 2 chairs and said you can use that. Left us to ourselves to adjust. Which understandably it was fairly busy. So I let that go. Then Mulitiple mishaps on who ordered which drinks. Then the music was up louder than normal and we had to raise our voices to hear one another. (Also because part of our party was at a high top across the isle) Then the waitress walked up to us and that we were talking too loud. She was rude and unprofessional in the way she talked to us! Just so I’m clear, we had only had one drink and as more of our family arrived they ordered so I am saying no one was disorderly or drunk! Just sharing stories and laughing over family memories! Enjoying each other!
Her attitude and tone was not needed.

So I’m clear……My family is in the service industry (bartenders at North Italia and servers at another establishment) so we know how important professionalism is and why tips are SO important! We are normally very generous with our grituity! I’ve watched my other daughters in this difficult industry work their behinds off, handle difficult situations and people respectfully and they are rewarded accordingly! Unfortunately, the server and back-end help really messed this opportunity up! We left immediately and showed our displeasure with the lack of gratuity. Machette please train your team!
