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.

We always look forward to coming back!“

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

“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.“

“I've been coming here for the last eight years. I only ever order the fajitas or grilled shrimp grapefruit salad—my absolute favorite dishes. We recently celebrated our nuptials here, and they were so kind. Our server helped with food and drink recommendations for the other individuals in our party, and they checked in on us often. Also, they make the best Paloma margarita! Service and food are always on point. Thank you for the consistency.“

“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“

“Another great visit to Cencalli! The new trio dip - queso, beans and guacamole, with chips and their signature salsas - delicious. Also tried the posole flight… red, white and green, loved all 3. Great burrito and margaritas too. We took home a red and green tamale. They were delicious. We plan to pre-order them for the holidays!“

“This may be the best food (overall) that I’ve ever had in Colorado so far, and the BEST tacos by a landslide. Whoever is making the food at this place is surpassing any and every other *good* taco spot I’ve ever tried. The steak and chicken tacos were so perfectly cooked, flavorful and juicy - not doused in hot sauce or something spicy to cover up the flavors of real food made well… This is the work of a true chef and/or someone who has many layers of knowledge on how to marinade and season Mexican food to bring out the most vibrant and delicious flavors. Nothing is greasy, the meat isn’t rubbery or overcooked or skimpy portions. Everything is just the right portion (slightly larger than street tacos, so you don’t have to order 4 to feel full and get your money’s worth, 1-2 tacos with chips and queso or guac is plenty to feel happy with). Everything was incredibly fresh as well, including everything in the tacos, salsa, guacamole, tortillas. I would eat these tacos every day if I could.

It’s a bit of a small space, but exceptionally clean. Like… spotless, in the kitchen and in the dining areas and restrooms. Service was great. Not too loud, like most places that are blasting music - which was much more pleasant to the nervous system. Always appreciate low volume, chill environment to feel relaxed. This place is a 10/10 perfection.“

“Outstanding customer service and even better food!! Love this place!! ❤️🌮🌶️“

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

“We meet twice a year around 4 pm because the whole place will be packed by 5. The food is authentic and delicious. I love green Chile and El Jardin has the best with ranges of mild to hot. Half n half is perfect. When you go order up one of many great margaritas. The Slacker is my favorite“

“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“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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!!!“

“It’s one of those places I don’t want to review because it’s too good and it’s already always packed. But, it’s exceptional and I want to make sure a support such a special restaurant. It’s become one of our favorite places in Denver. I can’t recommend high enough.“

“Absolutely delicious! Authentic yummy such a cute little restaurant I totally recommend you try I had the number 8 crispy taco and a chile relleno rice n beans. My friend order a burrito and it came to the size of the plate! everything on point! Chips and salsa 👌 Found my new favorite spot!“

“Friday's Prime Rib is my Favorite“

“Best food, and salsa bar. Kind employees and great service. Call your order in to save time. $2.50 tacos. $12 fully loaded and smothered burritos. It this $12 is the highest priced menu item. Just great quality authentic food and insanely low prices. What more could you ask for in this economy?“

“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.“

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

“So my boyfriend and I went out to eat tonight and came across your restaurant. I’ll try tacos from anywhere anytime! I ordered 3 asada tacos with sides of beans & rice. Patty helped us out and for the life of me can’t remember the cooks name (Saturday night (10/11/25). This by far is one of the best taco restaurants I’ve been to in a long time and will DEFINITELY be coming back. Worth the drive from east Aurora.“

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

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

“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“

“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.“

“Excelente servicio, menú variado, definitivamente Les doy un rotundo y soberano 100!“

“Damn, this place makes great food! Manuel Taco is one of those unassuming little taco trucks you only find because some hero on Reddit mentioned it in passing—parked in a nondescript lot off Bruce Randolph, looking like it might sell discount hubcaps instead of life-changing food. But no. Inside that modest metal box is culinary wizardry.

The breakfast burritos? Best in the city. Full stop. They’re the kind of burritos that make you reconsider every other breakfast decision you’ve ever made. The tacos are outstanding too—simple, perfectly seasoned, and made by a single dude who is very clearly working his butt off while simultaneously achieving greatness on a griddle the size of a clipboard.

It’s cash only, which somehow feels right. Places this good should not be tied to the tyranny of modern banking. Bring a few bills, park in the most unremarkable parking lot in Denver, and prepare to walk away wondering how something so low-key can taste so legendary.

Go. Seriously. Go.“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“Love this place. I was introduced to it a little over a month ago. And now, I go at least twice a week. Great affordable food. The staff is awesome. My new favorite place in town.“

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