“Chicken fajitas VERY good with plenty of red and green peppers for a change. The enchilada dinner plate was huge and was enjoyed mucho! Taco Salad was so-so. Churros with ice cream were great, crispy and cinnamon-y, but quite tiny compared to the menu pics. The service took too long for how slow it was that night, but overall was a good experience.“

“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!“

“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. 😋🇲🇽🌮“

“Good tacos but expensive burritos. We went two weeks in a row and four tacos ended up at $14 which is reasonable. Last time a ham quesadilla and two burritos came in at $38.25. Unfortunately I can only recommend the tacos for the cost.“

“My personal favorite food truck. There are a lot of Mexican food trucks on north college and I’ve had most of them over the years, but this is the one I keep coming back to simply for their carne Asada tacos and burritos. Their birria is also quite nice. Very friendly staff and food comes out decently fast every time. I WILL BE BACK“

“So good! Had the asada & carnitas tacos and they were amazing! And the grilled pepper and both sauces on the side were spectacular! Highly recommend this place!!“

“hamburguesas chihuas i juarez. muy buenas recomendables“

“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.“

“The delicious food and the friendly service 👍🫶🏼👍“

“Absolutely hands down the best food an drinks!!! I“

“muy buen servicio que te dan“

“Excellent dining excellent waitress“

“I ordered on doordash because I had a craving for chili cheese fries, but instead saw carne asada fries, so I gave it a shot and they ended up being amazing. I tried a couple other things just to try and I am so glad I did. By far the best birria street tacos I have had anywhere near Fort Collins, and comparable to some of the places in LA I went to growing up. I usually end up being disappointed by the Mexican food in Fort Collins, but this is the best Mexican food I have had in a long time. I'm not sure what the prices look like in store since doordash usually charges more, but even at that, spending $20 on a plate of carne asada fries changed my life and was totally worth it. I will be back.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Cool taco shop. Tacos were decent. Not the best I've had, but better than average. The drinks were pretty subpar too. Margaritas seemed heavy on the mix. Overall, a fun environment and cool set-up. We found it to be pretty pricey, all things considered. Likely not a place we'll go back to.“

“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!!!“

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

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

“Great place to grab a fast lunch or even dine in everyone's friendly especially the cook (kurtis) does great doesnt over cook or over season anything very enjoyable only complain is the chips at times are way to salty and cant enjoy some days but overall great place no major complaints!“

“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.“

“I had a great experience at Café Rio! The food was absolutely delicious, full of flavor and perfectly prepared. The staff was exceptionally friendly and welcoming from start to finish. I’m not sure what the supervisor’s name was, but she went out of her way to check in with us and make sure everything was perfect with our meal. Out of several restaurants I’ve visited recently, Café Rio easily stood out for having the best customer service and overall dining experience.“

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

“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.“

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

“Always excellent authentic Mexican food! Very reasonable prices! Not usually a wait line, but maybe every now and then you might have one or two people before you. There is sometimes a picnic table outside, otherwise it's a to go order.“

“Exceptional service from Madison, Ned, and Ally. So friendly and the food was amazing! They put up with my intense questioning to be sure I was getting items without dairy and offered wonderful and tasty suggestions (like the Verde oh my gosh so good!).“

“very goood yummm dinner was served“

“Qdoba is the ONLY fast food place I’ll eat. There are plenty near where I live, so that’s convenient.
But Why is it my Only Fast Food?
• Consistency—they have that down.
• Healthy Choices—there are bins of “heart attack on a plate” type food (red meat and cheese), but I ignore those in favor of chicken, tasty veggies, guac, brown rice, black beans, etc. Lots to choose from, so you can easily tailor your burrito to your taste. Try that at the crappy burger joints that people kill themselves with. Heart disease is the number one medical killer, and eating something that is more than a third animal fat is slow, painful suicide.
• Quality—I’m originally from the west coast, where authentic burritos can be found pretty easily. No so here in my Colorado town. Just because someone is from Mexico doesn’t mean they know how to cook. Qdoba has, while not authentic east LA flavors, at least pretty good flavors. They’ve figured it out.
• Price—a burrito is a little over $10 at this writing. Covid raised all food prices and greedy companies refuse to lower them. So, these “giant tubes of food” as I call them (for best results insert in mouth and squeeze from the bottom up -) are a relative bargain.
• Calorie Counts Clearly Displayed. ++
• Speed—I’m retired so can go when others aren’t there, but still, for made to order food, it’s fast.

I wish they’d bring whole wheat tortillas back. But you can’t have everything.

Cold ingredients take away flavor, so I always get my burritos to go and put them in a frying pan for a few minutes, turning to brown the tortilla. Then it’s hot and tasty.“

“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.“

“I tried the mangonada it’s my second time. The first time I tried it, it was really good 💯.The only thing I disliked is that the mango ice cream is not as it used to before, they must have changed their recipe, now the ice cream for the mangonada is like a yogurt type with small chunks of mango.
Overall, they have really good snacks!! The service is great, employees are always nice!“

“Highly recommend this place! First time in and it is unforgettable! I ordered the fish and chips and boy howdy was it so juicy and crispy! The sauce is to die for and the fries are extra crispy! Options on the menu is a great selection as well. Definitely recommend if you’re interested for a kick to your day!“

“Had their food last week and it was delicious. Everything fresh, customer service amazing! Loved your trivia on the board! Didn’t get the answer right but loved it. Ate upstairs in the beautiful day and could see everyone enjoying the atmosphere“
