50 Best Mexican Restaurants in Denver

“Great food, best smothered burrito in Denver“

“John served me around 11am on the 20th, and he was phenomenal! Professional service, knew the menu like the back of his hand, and simply put was on of the most communicable and kind and professional waiters I’ve encountered. I will be back next time I’m in Colorado.“

“Is it popular locally? Like Mexican. We arrived around 6:30 and it was already full.
The chili sauce and tortilla alone make the beer go well.
The food was quite delicious, and I even finished the fried rice. I want to go again.“

“This is one of the best Mexican Restaurants in Denver, I’ve been going here for a year and never once had an issue, food is always good, and I have order soups, burritos, enchiladas, tacos, combinations, I dine in and order to go! You will not be disappointed“

“great local place. we eat here or order takeout almost every other week. The molcajetes and aguachile is delicious - VERY SPICY. We love their hot sauces, all the tacos, tllacoyos and kids rice soup. Oh and the agua fresca selection.

Kid-friendliness: Great kids menu and easy atmosphere for families to eat.“

“Just had some truly amazing tacos! I’ll be a regular for sure!“

“Several times we visited. Menu are tasty and different. Friendly staff. Fair prices.“

“Best Salsa on Earth! Everything here is great!“

“Great tasting tacos and friendly service.“

“the food was fabulous and the service was 5 star but the dining was to dark to read the menus and way to close to other seating also way to loud to where you couldn't hear your other person when they talked you would have to literally raise your voice.....first time there prolly wouldn't return“

“PSA: This is not Felix, Potros, or Hacienda. If that’s your jam, there are plenty of those around to fill your belly with mediocre, large-portion TexMex. I enjoy some greasy enchiladas myself. HOWEVER… listen carefully here, mis amigos. If you want a carefully crafted and curated menu that honors the rich tradition of Mexico City, this is the place. Their Cornish Hen con Molé… stop it, so good. Ana, making fresh tortillas… c’mon. We tried all their desserts and loved them all. The owners of Lucina’s eatery and bar have created another masterpiece in Denver. Check them out ASAP.

Dietary restrictions: Almost everything on the menu is gluten free.“

“Great margs , service and food“

“delicious food, you will not want to miss out.“

“I didn't have the money to taste the food yet, and I'll be sure to try it when I come back from Texas. I'm leaving this five star review because not only are the workers sweet and caring people, but they also gave raving reviews for the owners. I can't wait to eat here when I have the money to afford it“

“This is the perfect weekend brunch spot. I loved the decor and vibe of the restaurant. Staff was all very friendly and welcoming. We ordered mimosas and I was very happy with the juice options. Food was also very high quality. I would recommend and go back again to try new items on the menu“

“Pésimo servicio, no te dan limones te los venden, exceso de grasa en la comida.“

“One of the best places in Denver. Great people staff is amazing must go to“

“I love the blue Bonnet Wonderful customer service“

“The food was exquisite !! All were smaller portions aside from the ribeye. The avocado margarita was really tasty. The oaxaxan old fashioned was flavorful but too sweet I thought. Overall an awesome culinary experience with delicious shareable food. The ribeye was definitely our favorite !! There is no dessert just fyi.“

“We got tacos de lengua, menudo, and a Juárez-style burger. The burger was a bit salty and a bit more avocado would’ve been great, but if you’re a big meat-eater go for it. It’s a cheeseburger with hot dogs, ham, bacon, jalapeños, and avocado. The tacos were good too and had good amount of meat in them, and the menudo was delicious! My only “but” with it is that I would’ve preferred tortillas rather than bread but that’s more of a regional/personal preference. Be sure to ask for extra limes! I’m happy they deliver and that it was fast. Will definitely order from them again!“

“good birria tacos, friendly atmosphere“

“Some of the best Mexican food in Colorado can be found atSantiago's restaurant. Mouth-watering and enjoyable to say the least. My favorites are the Mexican hamburger and the breakfast burritos.

“This place is amazing. Breakfast burritos are killer and tacos/tortas are some of the best I’ve had in Denver. Highly recommend. It also has a lot of seating and never seems to be too busy. If you can’t decide where to eat, try it here, you won’t be disappointed. Prices are also very good.“

“Might be the best tacos in Denver. Great margaritas, The cactus is my favorite. I’ve had their al pastor and carne asada tacos, tortas, elote, and queso, and everything is 10/10 amazing. Usually need to find parking in the neighborhood but it’s not bad.“

“My boyfriend and friend went here to eat, because my friend absolutely loves this place! He said he eats at this restaurant at least 3 times a week. So my boyfriend and I decided to go with him and try it out, and I'm glad we did. The atmosphere was great, we ate outside on the patio and it was very well shaded and perfect for as hot as it was outside. The waiter was very nice and was very attentive to us. Each plate was under 15.00 and the food was very authentico!!! I really enjoyed this restaurant and I highly recommend it!! You won't be disappointed! The only thing that wasn't the best was trying to find a place to park. Other than that everything was amazing!“

“muy buena gente los dueños y buen servicio y muy buena comida“

“The best tacos I’ve had in a LONG time. I tried the al pastor, pollo, fish, and tripas. They’re all good, but the tripas were my favorite! Beautifully crispy with a flavorful taste. Don’t forget the homemade salsas too. Tripas with chipotle pair the best. Thank you for a great experience.

Parking: It is the same parking lot as the liquor store.“

“We held our office Christmas party at El Jefe Restaurant in Denver this year in their "private" dining area. It was absolutely wonderful and all of our employees really enjoyed it! Jessie was so easy to work with in making the arrangements. The food was absolutely delicious, the service was impeccable and they gave us a lot of extras that made the whole experience fantastic! I would highly recommend booking a holiday or special event party at El Jefe, your guests will rave about your choice! Definitely 5 Stars!! Lorie Cramer, Ofc.

“I’ve tried all the taco spots around Denver and Manuel Tacos is hands down the best. The green sauce is delicious on the pastor and asada tacos. Manuel is very friendly. I love coming here. The neighborhood wouldn’t be the same without him. You just can’t beat the prices either. There is a cooler with cold drinks for sale too.“

“One of the best breakfast burritos in Denver. It's pretty large so it's not the cheapest in the city. The green chili has a nice spice level, smooth texture, and robust flavor. The coffee had a hint of cinnamon which was a pleasant surprise.“

“BOMBBB FOOD. Every time I go this place never fails to disappoint. The owners, and staff in general are so nice. Amazing service, fresh food! I recommend los Tacos De Birria :) (ps Pic is a Steak Taco) Muchísimas Gracias por la comida!“

“This is my second time here. The staff or possibly owners who run the restaurant are attentive, friendly, and polite. The Beef stew was amazing! And the flavor was consistent from my first visit.“

“Great service Excellent food And Drinks are in another lever Definitely the spot I will visit at least one time a week and I live at 1:20 hrs from the place totally worth it QuéRico in Denver pavilion“
