50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Glendale

“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!“

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

“Cafeteria style Mexican where you build your own dish from the available ingredients. The Thursday special, coconut shrimp tacos, was very good. The coconut flavor isn't strong but was definitely there. Next time, I would choose not to have lettuce though. The pieces were too big and there nee de ed to be less of it. The black beans were good.

Service was fast and friendly. The space was casual and comfortable with a lot of seating.

There were several open parking spaces even though it was busy.“

“Hot food, excellent servive!“

“We were asked to get out gently because my wife was too drunk which it's ok. Ppl don't realize the rolls and give feed back wrong, unfortunately I finally out about VIP when we were right there at the entrance, totally my fault, good place all clean and a lot security, keep up and ignore haters“

“Absolutely yes!!! Everything is amazing here, the vibe is incredible and very casual for a Michelin restaurant, the food is next level, and the price is so affordable I can see why they are booked out two months at a time! We sat at the bar and honestly was such a great experience watching them make the food and chatting with the servers & bartenders. You mustttttt get the sourdough tortillas. Everything we got including the cocktails were phenomenal and we got the sweet potato for dessert. The portions are way bigger than I expected, so you had to roll me out of there to get home. The sweet potato was even good cold as leftovers, and a nice treat after an amazing meal. The scallop was my favorite thing on the menu *chefs kiss* 100/10 we love! Also- go for HH before 5pm. The prices are incredible.“

“This is my first time eating in at Torchy's, before it was delivery. Their food is really good. I just enjoy it. I have been dreaming about the Fried Avocado taco since I got it in September and it didn't disappoint. I also got the Trailer Park and it was similarly incredible. The staff were friendly. I will absolutely be back.“

“Visited encanto from Houston Tx. 2 days ago. Highly recommend. The whole staff was very welcoming, drinks and food was great. Atmosphere was also great“

“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.“

“Great family owned restaurant with delicious food!“

“Recently tried this at Littletons Western welcome event. I was working a booth and one of the kind employees brought my order to me! DELICIOUS carne asada tacos & chips n salsa. It was SO good, I went back the next day with my sister. New favorite place!! Oh and the pomegranate margarita was amazing as well!! 11/10!“

“Taco Uprising has been my favorite Saturday morning tradition for a few months now. Matias, the owner, is a gem of a human, and you can tell he really cares about this place. The breakfast bowl is massive, and easily feeds me for two meals. Pro Tip: always get the side of chorizo gravy. You can thank me later.“

“Unbelievable food! Amber was so helpful and service was so fast! If we lived close we would be back all the time! The Crunchwrap, Birria queso tacos, chips and salsa and guac, everything we had was incredible! 12/10 recommend!“

“This review is long overdue. LaLoma was my favorite way back when they were in north Denver and they’re my favorite today. My favorite dish is a combo with relleno and brisket enchilada topped with green chili. Their fajitas are some of the best I’ve ever had. The margs go down way too easy. Great salsa and guac too. You really can’t go wrong with any dish. I’ve always appreciated the dark vibe of the down town location but there are decent patio tables as well. So get your ass down there and get some Denver history.“

“We had the most outstanding dinner tonight. Everything was on point from the atmosphere, to the food and beverage selection. Our server, Bri, was so welcoming and gave us some of the best recommendations for mezcal, cocktails and which tapas to order.
We got the Corn Sour and Colada- both highly recommend. There are so many mezcals to choose from but the two we got were different enough from each other and were both so smooth (see photos).
We started with the tostada de toro, their dry aged tuna was melt in your mouth decadent and the whole tostada was so flavorful. They display their dry aged tuna on the wall and it really added to the aesthetic of their open kitchen.
The second dish was the burrita de chicharrón- the most delicious pork burrito with homemade flour tortilla I’ve ever had with a flavorful salsa on the side.
Third was the costillal de res, a bowl of braised short rib, black beans and chilled with a side of corn masa tortillas. I don’t even know what to say it was the best taco situation I’ve had in a long time.
We wanted to try one more thing and had the tlacato de pato- a slightly spicy duck dish. So tender and filling. I had some corn tortillas left and made a taco out of that, perfection.
They don’t openly have a dessert menu but there is one thing they serve and it’s a surprise- the most delicious one ever so go check out this restaurant and try it all!!
Thanks again Bri!“

“Ivy is the most amazing server ever ! She was prompt and great through our whole conversation! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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“

“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!“

“Muy rica la comida 😋y el servicio excelente 💯 recomendado 👌“

“I’m not sure how many times I’ve given 5 stars, but this restaurant deserves every one of them. The food was incredible! We tried a variety of dishes, including tamal de pato, ceviche, albóndigas, fish, chocolate ice cream, and more. Everything was outstanding, from the authentic flavors to the delicious sauces, moles, salsas, and fresh corn tortillas. I highly recommend this restaurant if you enjoy exceptional ethnic food—or if you’re open to expanding your palate!“

“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.“

“Best green chile on the planet! Try the chile relleno burrito smothered in green chile. Your life will never be the same.“

“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.“

“Muy rica toda la comida, excelente servicio y Calidad a la parrilla se ha convertido en unos de mis lugares favoritos para comer !!“

“I had a great experience at El Jardín. The food was tasty and felt like real, authentic Mexican cuisine. I didn't have to wait to be seated, and the service was quick and friendly the whole time. It's a nice, casual spot that made me feel welcome. I'd definitely come back next time I'm in the area.“

“It’s hard to find a Mexican food place like this off Federal or Colfax anymore—quick, cheap, and delicious. Their tacos, quesadillas and sopas are all excellent. The only thing I wasn’t crazy about were the pollo tacos, but they were still good. The side of beans/rice is a very generous portion. We love the salsa bar. Please don’t change a thing!“

“Friday's Prime Rib is my Favorite“

“This place is great! Our group got a variety of meals and they were all delicious; our two picky children also loved their fajita meal. All the staff are very kind, too! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

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

“sylvia the owner knows mexican food better than all of colorado, with a mezcal bar that is not easy to find - this place is great for tourists and native mexicans will agree - adelita's is the best food and best bar menu in all of denver, plus the owner is a really great friend to my community and has donated a lot of food to support my loved ones networks . I recommend this restaurant for it's flawless history, the atmosphere, and the large authentic menu which can be previewed online“

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

“This Taco truck is THE BEST that I have ever had in Denver. The staff is so courteous and accommodating to whatever you need. The portion sizes are generous and the tacos are absolutely delicious. You can tell in your first bite the ingredients are fresh, and prepared traditionally. Definitely get the salsa, it has a kick but it takes the tacos to a whole other level!! Give them a try and I can guarantee that you will not be disappointed!“

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

“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.“

“very good service and very delicious food“

“Little George's catered the food for a party we hosted recently, and everything from the existing planning to the taste and quality of the food we served was outstanding. Marlene was very helpful and invited us to a tasting where we gladly used her expertise to plan the menu for 70 people. Delivery and set up went smoothly and our guests raved about the quality and variety of items we had on the buffet. If you are planning an event with Mexican food, I can highly recommend Little George's as the caterer!“

“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“

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

“The barbeccoa tacos were delicious not greasy but still moist enough to make the meat tasty👌“

“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!“

“Can’t explain what everyone else in Denver already knows—Kike’s Tacos hits every time. The birria tacos and ramen are unmatched, and don’t skip the churros. Whether you’re posted up for a quick bite or chilling at the bar, the drinks are always flowing. A local favorite for good reason.“

“It won’t let me do 5 stars but they deserve 1000000 STARS! Truly love coming here. Exceptional service everytime. Attitudes out of the park. Beautiful smiles and beautiful souls. Food is fire. Whoever was working 8/21 at 11:53 am are all amazing!!! Love the crew.“

“Need to add asada
Tacos are great!

Stood at counter for a couple of minutes before I realized there is only kiosk ordering. Trying to figure out how to customize my taco was more work than I'm willing to put in for a flipping taco that costs $6 so I left. Won't be back. Sorry torchy's.

You wanted $20 minimum wage Denver? How about no job instead.“

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

“So many places claim to have “authentic Mexican food” but yet they have the same canned, orange, enchilada sauce for GREEN ENCHILADAS(I’m talking to YOU, Tapatio, Jaime’s, 3 Margaritas) the same sauce, the same EGGROLL chile rellenos, but this is the REAL AUTHENTIC Mexican place, the REAL DEAL, what a gorgeous place with great food.“

“Crossed off my fourth new (to me) restaurant of the year and first in February tonight. Thanks to Lady Nomada in Arvada for such a delish meal! Their specialty taco - fried avocado - was mouth watering. I also had a Baja fish taco and couldn’t help but sneak in a carnitas taco, too. Super cool vibe and friendly staff; I’ll definitely be back again!“

“My boys love their breakfast burritos and go there all the time! I need to branch out and try more off of their menu! Great place and friendly staff!“
