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!“

“The new location is so nice, you can have a Mexican diner type of experience with waitress service. Went for breakfast and ate a hearty burrito while hubby got huevos rancheros and pork chops - more than we would get if we just did take out. Super nice waitress, and very clean !“

“I am writing to share the incredible experience I had at your location today while picking up a large multiple order for my office. My experience at this establishment was truly out of this world.
As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by a young man named Chris. I gave him the name for the order, and he quickly informed me that everything was ready. He and Dennis then took the time to explain how the order was packed and ensured that I was provided with all the necessary utensils. These two gentlemen clearly understand the meaning of exceptional customer service; I wish there were more people like Dennis and Chris in the world.
Finally, the manager, Maribel, came over to personally ensure that my order was complete and that I was satisfied with everything.
Because of the outstanding service provided by your team, I will definitely be coming back tlo this Cafe Rio.“

“Been eating there 25 years! Some of the same servers are still there much respect for this place always done me right and the food is delicious in the drinks are amazing!“

“Latin queer club open until 4am? I love this place! Don't be surprised if you're in the bathroom and they're banging on the stall doors... half the patrons are straight/cis. Which makes the place feel far less gay. Wish it had a food truck outside and more gay events. This place can get packed after 2am, even on weekdays.“

“This is a contender for the best restaurant food I've ever eaten in my life. It's astonishing, delicious, magically flavorful. We tried 5 dishes and had a couple of drinks. I was perplexed at how good everything turned out. Just spectacular.

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

“I have consistently had a wonderful experience here, both in terms of the food and the service. Every visit has truly exceeded my expectations.

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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Nuestra primera vez comprando y la verdad que nos encantó todo 🤤 y esas al pastor fríes OMG🤤 todo muy delicioso , les doy 10 de 10 . Súper recomendados 👍🏻“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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 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.“

“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 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!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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“

“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“

“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“

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

“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!“
