“Hands down the best dessert in Lakewood and the food was amazing.“

“Pastor tacos were delicious and fresh, with the crispy bits that make the dish great. The red and green salsas were both very good, balanced with a small kick. Nice, homemade tortillas too. Staff couldn’t have been nicer or more attentive. Lovely little place in Green Mountain with front range views from the patio.“

“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!“

“It's always a good visit here. Great employees, fun to talk to. The food is always the best, and they always remember return customers.“

“I have been coming to Burrito Express for decades, easily the best burrito in the Denver metro area. Glad they don't smother their burrito in pounds of green chili. They've kept their prices lower than every surrounding restaurant while never decreasing quality. I always feel welcomed and will be ordering for years to come.“

“Best Menudo on Sundays. Best sweet bread and Mexican food in a 10 mile radius around!“

“love your burritos... green chili was awesome“

“This is our go to place for tacos. Everything on the menu is delicious. Tacos estilo jalisco is one of our favorite. Staff is awesome! Very friendly and they always make sure we get plenty of their delicious salsas. You gotta be a little patient though they are busy most of the time so waiting time is a little long but worth it.“

“Really great food, but have priced themselves out of reality. We enjoyed them for a lot of years. They are not friendly, even if you go every week don't ever act friendly at all. This, along with the price makes it good riddance.
Sad to say goodbye, but I'll go somewhere that appreciates my business.“

“Good food & they give big portions ask for Evelyn awesome waitress...“

“First time coming here. Food was delicious (torta al pastor, side of French fries, an asada smothered burrito and a great mazapán hot late😋) and the personnel was very professional and friendly. I really recommend.“

“The group had a great time. Food was really good but not a 5. One couple drove down from Billings MT to join in. We grew up in Denver, so it was a blast from the past. Thanks for taking over and making this icon a great place to spend an evening. Come like it's an attraction and you'll have a great time. Don't bother if you want 5star food and want to nitpick the selection and service.“

“Customer for 17 years here, love it, best tamales with a lot of meat. Love breakfast burritos too.“

“Hands down my favorite Qdoba, I drive from downtown Denver just to get their nachos! Amazing servings,fresh food & fantastic customer service. its refreshingly nice. Our dinner tonight was the perfect ending to a busy day! Right on guys! Keep rocking it out.“

“Very nice staff And good food.“

“What an experience! She was super sweet and even hooked us up with an agua fresca. Where she is stationed has games for the kids to play. she also travels for events. If you see Rosita's, don't just pass by, stop and say hi!“

“Tasty food and excellent service, today I went for lunch in the afternoon at this location and the young man who served me was friendly and the place was clean, you can see from the outside that the kitchen is kept clean which causes an impression that the food will be of good quality and it is!

Parking: Parking is at the back of the restaurant.“

“delicious, great service and always clean. whenever we go here my 9 year old could have just eaten but she'll always make room“

“This Qdoba is the bomb. The meat actually looks appetizing, the employees are awesome, and it’s fancy af. 5starz“

“Feliz, Cinco de Mayo!!!!!“

“Viva Burrito started out feeding us at $2.50 ($7 now) 2 DECADES AGO. and the authentic foods feed your soul. So good, so affordable for lunch, so messy with sauce that you will pick your teeth afterwards... that delicious! Thank you Viva Burrito!“

“I have been eating here before Tony was even born!!!! I was born & raised just a few blocks away. My parents, grandparents and now my daughter, and her children eat here. It's HOME. Best burritos in the state. My husband loves the soft rellenos.“

“YUMMMMMMY! The food is always fresh. The service is fast and friendly.“

“This place is amazing. Had the buche, carne asada, Al pastor & barbacoa tacos with a tamale. Also chorizo and buche tacos which were so delicious! Everything was so delicious. The tamale was very good and not dry. Definitely will be back!!“

“Had the fried fish appetizer that had great spice with a perfect green chutney (cilantro mint?) to take the edge off.

Also had the lamb vindaloo (spicy as advertised - had a kick but was not overpowering) and the butter chicken was on point. Alongside some garlic naan and some cheese naan - this was comfort food at its best! Had enough to take home some leftovers, too.

This is the same couple (Meena and her husband) who ran Mini India's restaurant in Westminster before it moved - and it was well worth it to track them down again.

They had one of the larger menus I've seen then, but serve a slightly smaller one here (their chicken tikka masala is fantastic, and though I didn't get that this visit, it is always a favorite to get people to try - particularly if they are new to Indian food).

Don't let the small space or limited tables scare you off from trying this gem (take it to go if you have a picky date that stands far too much on ambiance). For those who let the quality of the food impress more than the decor, you'll gain serious points for knowing about this hole-in-the-wall place where the food speaks for itself - before everyone else does.“

“it was a great place to eat 😋“

“the breakfast burritos are out of this world good - and a simple mild medium or hot will be all you need to start the day off right we use to leave the house early to pickup santiago's drive thru on the way to school and they have held the same high status for quality burritos to this day now a decade later - i will always love santiago's i truly would recommend it to anyone“

“My homegirl introduced me to spot! Thank goodness she did! This isn't you're typical Mexican spot, but it kinda is! They home make all of their tortillas! Even the corn! Flavors are mut bella! Chefs kiss! And I am actually a chef of 29 years!! Oh yeah! They're actually still decently priced!!

Vegetarian options: If you can actually eat Mexican vegetarian food, they have the ingredients to do it, but that kinda negates the pleasure of eating Mexican food!

Parking: It's in the Colorado Mills parking lot, so if there's not a spot in their little designated spot, you can absolutely find a close enough spot.

Kid-friendliness: I suppose. Kids like nachos and quesodillas, right!?

Wheelchair accessibility: It's 2 doors so a wheelchair could fit thru and they could absolutely move chairs to seat a wheelchair ridin patron, I'm sure.“
