I didn’t like it. Primarily because there wasn’t enough green chili on my smothered burrito to have an enjoyable meal with. It was #20 super burrito meal. It has sour cream & guacamole. My order was ice cold. I ordered it so I could come pick it up. I think it must have been sitting on the counter for a while. She told me it would be ready in 20 mins. So I had to scrape off the guacamole & sour cream to reheat it. No big deal. The pozole wasn’t very flavorful. I think it’s made with beef here, not pork. It was ok. The onions, red radishes, lime & cabbage were very fresh. I always order a side of rice; it was very delicious. I paid a lot for this meal & ended up throwing the the #20 away, only saving the rice.Parking: Parking lot really needs to be repainted so you can see where the parking stalls are & to respect the handicap parking areas. Not clearly marked & I don’t think they’re up to ADA compliance either. No signs identifying where the handicap parking is. When it snows, this is a must as you can’t see the painted lines, but you can see a sign on a post.

I’m very picky about my food- this was absolutely delicious! I’ve never been so impressed by a salsa. Each bite had so much flavor. Green chille was fantastic, the meat in the tacos was super tender. This will be your new favorite Mexican restaurant once you try it !

This place is amazing! First time here and we will be back! Our waiter Aldo was super friendly and served us so quickly. Love the small family feel, the food was super fresh and the fajita taco salad was seasoned to perfection. Thanks!

Honestly, one of the best places I’ve eaten in a very long time while in town for three weeks for work I’ve eaten here a couple of times and it is amazing! Personally, I had the Pollo Guadalajara both times, as well as the Chorizo queso and again, fantastic! Also, great service do yourself a favor and check this place out while in Denver/Lakewood!

I was looking for an authentic Mexican food spot in the Denver area since I moved from Michigan. This place is awesome. The Chipotle burrito was amazing and they definitely don't lie when they say "best margs in town"

My family has been loyal customers for as long as the family that owns the restaurant has been here 18 years+, and a few years before. I can't recommend anywhere more enthusiastically than here! Wonderful people. Great food. Margaritas to die for!

Recently placed an order through doordash for a plate with no beans. When I received my order, cheese dip was spilled over all the boxes and my plate was covered in beans. When my partner called and requested they remake the food without the beans and we come pick it up, they refused and told us to contact doordash. They messed up my food and refused to correct it, and made the process more difficult on us. This is truly disappointing, as I'm new to town and this restaurant was becoming a quick favorite. I don't think my family will be ordering from here again.
