“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!“

“Unbeatable freshness and incredible flavor! Cafe Rio never disappoints! You can tell how fresh everything is the second you walk in—watching them press and cook the tortillas right in front of you sets the standard.
The food is always packed with flavor, incredibly fresh, and served in generous portions. Whether you’re grabbing a customized burrito, a fresh salad, or tacos, every ingredient tastes high-quality (and you definitely can't skip their signature dressings!). On top of the great food, the staff is always fast, friendly, and handles the busy line with awesome energy. Hands down one of the best spots for quick, delicious Mexican food—I'll definitely be coming back often!“

“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.“

“The food and Chefs were amazing. The only thing I would say is that I wish they had more that one option for desert. My wife has a gluten allergy, and we were there for her birthday and could not have dessert. Other than that, we will go back again to try the other items on the menu that we did not get to try this time, as all of the for was delicious“

“We had reservations for an early dinner at Alma Fonda Fina! It is a Michelin Star Restaurant and let me tell you, they earned it! This wasn't about a meal to satisfy your hunger-this was a complete experience! One where you would see the beautiful plating, smell the aromas, take a bite, listen to your palate, then feel your taste buds sing! To feel individual flavors alone, yet understand the pairings! Our favorite dish was the scallops in tomato butter! May have been the best thing I have ever tasted in my life! The coolest part of this was we got our reservations to sit at the Chef's Counter! It is seating directly facing the kitchen and prep area where you can watch the culinary staff do their magic! We watched them prepare each dish right in front of us! The Chef's were very informative and attentive! Another incredible experience in itself!“

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

“We absolutely love Luchador Tacos & More! Food is so delicious. Happy hour is the best. The churro dessert put us in a food coma. Perfection!“

“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! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

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

“Super Rico todo y hasta regalaron Los refrescos😋“

“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.“

“What a cute little place! Love the idea of coming in, ordering at the counter or going to the bar area. You choose your experience. I ordered keto cheese shell tacos. Total yumminess! Taco al pastor was flavorful, juicy and super fresh. Several choices of salsas as well as chopped pineapple to top your tacos. They have tacos, burritos, birria as well as birria broth.
And then, why not add a beer, margarita it an N/A Corona to your lunch? Definitely coming back!“

“Amazing tacos. 10/10 recommend.“

“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“

“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 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“

“I had an Awesome experience here. The food was delicious, the service was awesome and relatively quick considering how busy they were. I have to recommend the classic Green Chile enchiladas they were AWESOME. The chips and salsa were delightful as well as the queso. Be warned this is an expensive establishment but it was worth it. My only qualm is that their “house margarita” is Casamigos premix, I saw a bartender pour it straight from the labeled bottle into my pitcher. Other than that it was a great experience. PS the mini Chili Rellenos are to die for.“

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

“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 👍🏻“

“Beautiful, intimate ambiance. Drinks were all great. Al pastor tacos are the best I've had in Denver, hands down. Menu's elevated but you can get tacos from the food truck outside. Staff was super friendly, especially bartender Manny, really cool guy. Great vibe overall!“

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

“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 food and staff friendly.“

“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!“

“Super good. Killer vibe and great service. Been to two locations.“

“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!“

“We've been to this location quite a few times with larger groups as well as just the wife and I and have never had any problems. The service has always been spot on and the cleanliness is very good. Our food was served in a very timely manner and the taste was excellent. Good sized portions and not overly priced. All this combined is what keeps us coming back.“

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

“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“

“This place is great. It was our second time eating here and I felt the need to write a review because the tacos are great. We're fresh off a trip to CDMX and haven't been able to taper back on our taco consumption yet even while back in the States. The tacos are fantastic, especially at this price point. Three tacos for $15 is a steal for the quality and care. Three tacos is more than enough food too. They are filled to the brim with quality meats and ingredients and you can mix and match. Support our local neighborhood restaurant and give it this place a try!“

“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!“

“I spent my teens and twenties eating Sonoran Mexican food in South Tucson, and after moving back to Denver, I eventually gave up trying to find anything that came close. Nothing ever had that authentic flavor I grew up with.

Then I found this place.

From the moment the chips and salsa hit the table, I knew I was in for something special. I ordered the cheese and onion enchiladas, and they were everything I had been craving. The red enchilada sauce is the star of the meal—deep, rich, smoky, and packed with incredible flavor. It’s clearly made with care and tastes like the kind of authentic sauce that’s been perfected over generations. I could honestly eat it by the spoonful.

Paired with authentic rice and beans, this meal instantly took me back to South Tucson. If you’ve been searching for real Sonoran-style Mexican food, this is it. I couldn’t be happier to have finally found a place that feels like home.“

“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.“

“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.“

“First time in!! Love this place“

“My absolute favorite Mexican restaurant! Guadalajara style authentic cuisine, im always excited for!! Food is ALWAYS fresh, made from scratch, and full of flavor! The complimentary 4 SALSAS are another factor that makes them stand out!! Scratch made tortillas!!“

“This restaurant was awesome! Phenom tacos, hot hot sauce (mild too) and very friendly wait staff…John! Churros to die for! Post funeral meal and just what we needed and wanted. Friendly, lively, and tasty! Is there anything more?!?? I think not!“

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

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

“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“

“I've been going here for years but the service I will say has gone downhill. They don't get orders right and gaslight you when you tell them different. Food is decent but for the quality of service you can go anywhere else in the city. They were so disrespectful I threw my food in the trash.“

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