Impressive, and nearly perfect in every conceivable way. Kudos for achieving a level that is basically unreal..“

Rob stands out for his genuine dedication to customer satisfaction. His hospitality, professionalism, and friendly demeanor have made the experience welcoming and truly memorable each time.

We’ve also had the pleasure of being served by Chef Kosi and Chef William, and both chefs went above and beyond to create an outstanding dining experience. The quality, presentation, and flavor of each dish were absolutely impressive.

“My husband and I have driven past this place several times and somehow overlooked it. Saw some reviews and thought we'd give it a try. Super impressed. Our waiter was so personable, the food was so yummy and so were the house margaritas. The latter are made from scratch and you can tell. The atmosphere is what I'd call basic but what impressed me was the cleanliness. The space was spotless. We'll definitely be back.“

“Shout Out to Supreme Chicken on Colfax! Today I stopped in for lunch for the 2nd time and met Ricardo and his wife Rosa and their brother Marco. Family owned and so delicious - you must try or even order for take out. We ate in and Ricardo said business is ok and can't wait to open the patio! Remember this patio from previous restaurants, Solena, Firefly? I ordered the Burrito de Birria and one of the best burritos I have ever tasted! I told Ricardo I would post and he shared: Oh Sandra, we have Happy Hour everyday from 3 to 6pm and Taco Tuesdays! :) Here's the info: 5410 E. Colfax Ave (Grape) and 303.955.7367.“

“Birria is flavorful & salsa bar delivers! Service excellent. For those who have an unfavorable rating ... maybe the place isn't Caucasian enough? Jus sayin... you don't see this many actual Mexicans eating at a place that doesn't have legit food served. And locally owned. Prices are comparable & reasonable for the food & area, fairly priced. Will be back to try more of the menu!“

“We absolutely love Luchador Tacos & More! Food is so delicious. Happy hour is the best. The churro dessert put us in a food coma. Perfection!“

“Best tacos HANDS DOWN. The hot sauce is everything, fresh agua Fresca and horchata. We drive from NOCO just to eat here. Staff is super friendly and amazing“

“Recently moved from Houston, TX to Denver. So far, this is the best Mexican food restuarant I have found. Their breaded chile relleno is almost as good as mom's. I have yet to find a place that serves warm salsa, a custom in many Mexican restaurants in Houston. A great place to eat.“

“Was looking for a quick bite to eat after attending an event at National Western and found Taco Uprising while searching maps, saw the 4.8 stars and figured we'd give it a try. I had 2 Birria tacos and one Pollo verde, they were some of the best tacos I've ever had. My partner had the cheese quesadilla, and my friend had 3 fried chicken tacos and they all said they were amazing as well! Walking back to the car I told my partner I already wanted to go back for more birria it was so good!“

“everything is fresh and made it with love ❤️“

“Ate at the 20th for the first time in eons. Still the absolute best chicken fried steak in Colorado! I’ll be back soon! Best part of our weekend!“

“This place is so yummy. My daughter and I eat here everytime we come down this way. We LOVE the street tacos, but we've had many of the menu items and they've all been good!! Give them a try if you're in the area!! Reasonable prices layed back atmosphere!“

“It’s our new go to down in Denver! The food is great! We loved the salsa! Great tasting rice and all of the food! Music plays and is a popular selection of songs. The service is phenomenal!!!“

“This place is the best Mexican restaurant you can find for price, atmosphere, service, and authentic Mexican food. The chips and salsa are my favorite, the perfect amount of salt and hydration. The rice and beans are always so good and perfectly cooked. The food is always fresh, warm, and the best flavor combos. Family owned with good business values. Also the outdoor patio is the best.“

“We were gifted dinner tonight from Cocinita Mexicana and everything from the delivery, presentation and incredible food exceeded our expectations! Thank you. We will return again and again!“

“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.“

“First time in!! Love this place“

“Friendly customer service, clean inside and outside, great food and good prices!“

“Family owned, great service & even better food!!! This place is exactly what Broomfield needed. Our favorites are the Mangito Margarita, Birria Taco Quesadillas with consommé, and the famous Enchiladas! Come try this place out for yourself!“

“Truly the best breakfast burritos I’ve ever had in my life. Everything is cooked fresh and each burrito is made with love and care. They may not be ready to grab and go but they are well worth the wait in the parking lot. Perfectly cooked, hot, cheesy, beany, tortilla grilled. I’ve considered just ordering a large side of the beans. Manuel has a special gift. My favorite is the chorizo y nopales breakfast burrito. Those tacos are fantastic too. But so are all of the meat options I’ve tried, especially his al pastor. Grab a few and enjoy with a coke in a bottle and you won’t be disappointed. This is a no fuss food truck though, only a few plastic chairs, usually just eat from our trunk or take the to park across the street.“

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

“Malinche Audiobar is a perfect date night. The decor and vibe is perfectly dark and lovely, they’ve got great music, and intimate seating. Their service is EXCELLENT (Thank you to Fernando and Diane!) and the food is incredible. Can’t wait to go back and try the other half of the menu. This is definitely worth a visit and we will be returning.“

“I lived down the block and every Friday like tradition ordered dinner from here. Friendly service, and delicious food!“

“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. Mngr., Extra Building Materials, Denver, CO“

“The food is so yummy!! The staff incredible!! We will definitely be back“

“Began ordering from here since Tamale Kitchen in Northglenn cant get anything right. So far so good. Not a fan of the beans cuz they taste canned but the tamales and cheese enchiladas are yummy“

“I love this place. Its so much better than Chipotle & Moe’s. The food tastes authentic/real. Its very reasonable prices. The guacamole is great. They have red & green jalapeño sauce. You can get red peppers & onions, green peppers & onions or both. The bar is very laid back. You can usually catch young people shooting the breeze or watching sports. The place is never packed but never empty. The staff is super friendly humble kind. They have an outdoor seating area at the one that I went to. Plenty of parking. I’m not so hot on trivia or drag queens. But its a very comfortable laid back environment. Safe for people of all ages. I usually get the quesadilla and I’m coming here from now on instead of Chipotle.“

“I LOVED this place! I came to Colorado for a work visit and stopped here for lunch on my first day….then again for dinner, and for dinner the next night. The prices are very decent, and the food is delicious. I’ve never had a torta before but wish I had a place like this close to home. Definitely recommend!“

“Super good. Killer vibe and great service. Been to two locations.“

“Stopped for dinner after we arrived in Denver. Ordered 2 margaritas, a skinny and a mangonada. Both were large portions and tasty. For dinner we ordered shrimp and tacos and vegetable fajitas. The vegetables were very fresh and plentiful. The shrimp tacos were delicious. Ended our meal with fried ice cream, which had a nice strawberry fruit coating. Overall the atmosphere was nice and the staff was very friendly and accommodating. The chips and salsa were bottomless.“

“I’ve been to Chilli Verde four times now since I first discovered it, and it never disappoints! The food is always fantastic, from the crispy flautas to the delicious choriqueso, and their chile en nogada is a must-try. The ambiance is cozy and inviting, making it the perfect spot for a relaxing meal. The staff is always friendly and prompt, adding to the overall great experience. If you’re in the area, I highly recommend stopping by—this place is a gem! We’ll definitely be back soon!“

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

“La Comida es excellente y el servicio es espectacular“

“Bought a "lunch" Bean, Cheese and Chile (no meat) burrito from Jose while I was visiting MaxFund animal shelter. It was indeed very good - great spicy sauce. But I later learned I was charged $6. I'm pretty sure his menu only stated $5. I'm petty, I know, but on a very tight budget.“

“Excellent food! The service was amazing and fast. We will definitely come back.“

“delicious, fresh and and an excellent service, highly recommended!“

“Wonderful food. Great drinks. Fast, friendly, and courteous staff. Been there twice and have not been disappointed in any way.“

“The food tastes Great! What else is there to say :-)“

“Well the other reviewer was wrong. I got five, not four salsas upon sitting down, complete with lime wedges. They're all pretty spicy, but all good. The employees were incredibly friendly and I felt welcome immediately. I was asked by not one but three different servers what I wanted to drink, which was awesome. I was impressed by the variety of meat options, but upon asking the server Jaime about the smothered carnitas burrito, he recommended the house made chorizo. It was stunningly delicious and I'm not just saying that. The chorizo itself had several layers of overlapping flavors without being too spicy. It also did have parts that seemed slightly pan-seared / crispy. The green chili was notably delicious and perhaps I would have liked a smidge more but it was still perfect regardless. I was happy that avocado was included in the price as well. I'd honestly pay 30% more for the same meal based on quality, it was a phenomenal deal. All around recommend!“
