“mi comida favorita son los camarones en chipotle, los e probado en muchos lugares y no le igualan el sabor, el agua de melon tambien esta riquisima, lo recomiendo al 1000“

“I think I had maybe avoided El Diablo because it's in a strip mall and kind of bright. I guess I assumed it was fast casual. Man, I have been missing out... The food is DELICIOUS! The Birra Tacos, Birra Ramen are INSANE!!! And the chicken fajitas are great too! Ask for the hot salsa. It's an oil that is HOT and fantastic!!! The service might even be better than the food!“

“Visited Fort Collin’s today and randomly chose to eat here as it was a convenient location. Wow!! I had a medium combo with Chili Relleno and a Chicken Taco. The menu said it was served with beans but it came with beans, rice, lettuce and tomato. 👍🏼👍🏼 The service was excellent, the food was excellent - I really enjoyed my lunch, thank you Pueblo Viejo!! I will be back on my next trip to Fort Collins. 😋🇲🇽🌮“

“Great place for beer and tacos. We had the Hillbilly Queso with chorizo & tortilla chips and while the queso was delicious the chips weren’t anything to brag about except as to pick up enough queso to your mouth 👄. The Democrate Taco is one to try if you can’t decide; one party after me struggled to choose what to eat! The menu is wide and varied.“

“We have been to La Luz many times over the years and everything we have tried is so tasty. All the food is great from the chile rellenos to the fish tacos, to the chicken tinga tostadas. My son loves the potato burrito and many of their breakfast items. La Luz is a Ft. Collins gem!“

“Super friendly and the food is worth going out of your way for. I just had a chorizo breakfast burrito and it was delicious. They have this creamy green sauce that blew me away. I would buy it by the bottle if I could.

Makes me want to move to Ft Collins.“

“This place is amazingggg. I came here on my lunch break, really wanted some Mexican food and this place did not disappoint. I got a fajita burrito with asada, a side of sour cream (which they asked if I'd like in the burrito, yes please!) And some salsa verde which has a nice amount of heat to it ? all for under $11 including tax and tip. This is my new favorite spot in Foco ❤️

Parking: In the auto zone parking lot but plenty of space around it!

Kid-friendliness: Had a whole kid menu which is awesome, will bring my family with me next time“

“A shout out to Agave Underground at the Foothills Mall! My husband and I went there for the first time tonight and the atmosphere is lovely and fun, the employees are personable and welcoming (and funny!), and the food and drinks are absolutely incredible! Saturday is karaoke night and it was such a fun experience. We will definitely make it a regular place to eat.“

“there burrito are great people are very nice and it's a clean place to eat.“

“The Northern Colorado Indian Motorcycle Riders Group met here for a New Year’s Day luncheon get together. We found the atmosphere to be warm and inviting. The décor was colorful, and the staff was very fun and friendly. The food was delicious. We found Hacienda Real to be a great place to meet for a casual lunch.“

“La Buena Vida is by far my favorite restaurant in CO! Not only do they have exceptional service, but the food is outstanding!! It’s well presented and full of Michoacán flavors! If you are a foodie this is a MUST!! Margaritas are to die for!!!“

“muy buen servicio que te dan“

“Food is great! And the market offers a marvelous variety of seasoned/smoke meats by the lb, large fresh bakery selection, fresh tortillas, and other favorite packaged foods from Mexico. Definitely worth a visit!“

“The food was very very good! very quick and priced reasonably. Thank you!“

“I just got paid today and I went to my favorite spot Qdoba and saw all the good hard working people who serve the best food in town made to perfection and funny thing is I left my wallet behind at my table with 1200 cash in it by mistake and I did not realize it until I got home and my phone rang and it was the manager asking me to come back and get my wallet and I realized there are good people in this world because every last dollar was there and it's a good thing I have my name card in there for this purpose and I want to thank the morning crew for helping me out!“

“I went to the CSU Lory student Center - the only Taco Bell that still has the new Shredded Beef Grill cheese dipping taco in Northern Colorado. I would order this all the time, if it wasn’t a limited menu item. Tasted great with the red dipping sauce.“

“The carne asada tacos were delicious with the right amount of kick! We ended up trying 3 different styles on our second order. The margaritas are delicious. Super fast service with a great environment and outdoor seating! Will definitely eat here again!!!“

“This place has good food, really good customer service, and it's worth going to, even though it can be expensive, but I usually get a breakfast burrito in the morning, which is cheaper. The only thing I don't like about this place is the Anti Abortion protests that happen outside this place every Saturday morning, but other than that, there's not too much to complain about.“

“Delicious, yummy traditional food with friendly, happy service. I'll definitely be back.“

“I’m a local to FOCO for over 20+ years and I can tell you this place is a gem. The owner is the KINDEST and most ATTENTIVE person you’ll meet! The food was delicious and so FRESH. Also, the chips and salsa/bean dip are the best in town! We always do takeout from this place but we decided to dine in and the experience was wonderful! Please support this Family restaurant because it checks all the boxes and deserves so much recognition!“

“We ordered from Mechitas when there were set up at a local farm for a fall festival.
The food (we ordered nachos, quesadillas and burritos) was fresh, flavorful and portion sizes were excellent.
The service was fast and the woman taking orders was kind and friendly.
Overall great food and experience.“

“Really awesome in every way! As good as the Rio!!“

“Awesome personnel, good breakfast! Food is good and service is quick“

“✨ Café Rio: The Mom’s-Day-Out Fuel I Didn’t Know I Needed ✨
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Okay, listen. I went to Café Rio with some fellow moms while picking up my daughter from a church camp, and I don’t know if it was the lack of sleep, the emotional mom high from watching her grow up too fast, or the fact that I hadn't eaten a real meal in 48 hours—but this food slapped. Like, full-on soul-hug, crying-in-the-parking-lot, “maybe I am doing okay” level delicious.

I ordered the Sweet Pork Salad because I’m a creature of habit and heard whispers of its legendary status. Y’all. The rumors are TRUE. That pork was so tender it practically apologized for every tantrum my kids have ever thrown. The rice and beans were seasoned to perfection, and don’t even get me started on the tomatillo ranch—I would drink it out of a Hydro Flask if society wouldn’t judge me.

And yes, I got queso. Because I’m a grown woman and I deserve joy.

The line was long but moved fast, like a well-oiled burrito assembly line. The staff didn’t judge me for being that person holding up the line asking for “extra extra dressing.” Bless them.

The vibes? Loud, slightly chaotic, and full of teens, toddlers, and tired parents—aka: my natural habitat.
The aftermath? I was full, happy, and dramatically texting my husband:
“WHY HAVE WE NOT BEEN EATING HERE EVERY WEEK?!”

🍼Pro Tip: If you’re a mom on a road trip, emotionally depleted from a week of solo parenting or camp pickup chaos—Café Rio is the serotonin booster you didn’t know you needed. Also, get a second dressing. Always.

Would eat again. Would cry over sweet pork again. Would 100% recommend to other exhausted, fabulous moms living off caffeine and prayer.

“This little guy hasn’t gotten to experience El Burrito yet it’s already his favorite!“

“Best place to get Mexican food. They have a restaurant in Greeley that was so popular that they were able to open one up for us in Fort Collins. I'm so glad they did. They have a huge variety of food items to choose from. My favorite is the lengua tacos. They are big and filling. One is plenty for me unless I'm starving, then I go for two and then I'm too full and say I should have just stuck to one. LOL The lengua is the best I've ever tasted. It's so tender and delicious. It's a MUST try when you go. I've tried many different dishes and they were all fantastic. Also, the best customer service ever. Everyone is so friendly. You can't go wrong here. Try it, you'll like it.“

“very goood yummm dinner was served“

“Tried 4 different street tacos. All of them were delicious. The margaritas were nice, and I was happy they had the dark beer I like.“

“I recently visited Qdoba Mexican Eats, and I was blown away by the incredible service and delicious food. From the moment I walked in, the staff greeted me with warm smiles and a genuine eagerness to help. They were patient as I customized my meal, offering great suggestions and making sure everything was perfect.

The food was absolutely amazing—fresh, flavorful, and packed with all the right spices. The burrito bowl I ordered was perfectly balanced, with tender protein, fresh veggies, and just the right amount of queso. It’s clear that they prioritize quality in every ingredient.

To top it off, the restaurant was spotless, and the atmosphere was inviting. I felt right at home enjoying my meal. Whether you’re craving a quick lunch or a hearty dinner, Qdoba is the place to go. I’ll definitely be back soon!

Highly recommend!“

“This is my FAVORITE qdoba in fort collins. I usually do mobile pickup and the restaurant is always clean, the employees are super friendly, and the food is always correct when I get it.

Parking: Parking available on both sides of the building, easy to get into and easy to leave“

“Great food, fast service, affordable menu. The staff are world class.“

“The drinks it’s really good !!“

“Have you met Rachael?? She is the bartender who took care of me. She was on point! The California heat tacos were fantastic!! I had mine prepared with the tempura shrimp, with a nice shot of butt burning habanero sauce. The sides were black beans with the cilantro rice. The rice was the perfect texture to accent the cilantro flavor. I mixed the beans in cause I’m that guy!! All around 5 stars.“

“Delicious as always. Their fish tacos are really good, and their nachos are amazing. I would recommend getting chips on the side. It can be a little noisy/echoey if you're staying to eat, but the rooftop seating cuts that down and you get a great view of the city!“

“10/10 cstering experience - we ordered relatively last minute for a larger party (Ordered on Weds, party on Sat), and had a wonderful experience. Kenny kept engaged with me up through the party to ensure everything was was on point. Food was amazing, great service - I've always loved the location itself and our first catering from them was top notch!“
