We found this place using Google Maps and raced over there before they closed, my husband got the Birra Tacos and a quesadilla and I got a smothers burrito and the cheese and onion enchiladas ala carte. AMAZING!! The food was packed with flavor, not so damn hit your couldn’t enjoy it - just perfect! So much so we had to go back for lunch today! 🙃

“Small family owned restaurant. I’ve been coming here over 15 years and it’s always been the same. The food is great and authentic. The prices are reasonable. The service is always great and you get your food very quickly. I would recommend this 100%“

“Absolutely a great local spot! Had the QuesiBirra tacos and was very impressed. So impressed, that I got them twice. We also had the Cali Burrito and chilli cheese fries, which were also very good. If you're nearby, absolutely come and check out this family owned spot! Oh and they recently remodeled and it looks great!“

“Good service. I forgot the name of the guy served my food, he is a very nice guy“

“My husband and I split Nachos with steak and chicken and shrimp fajitas. The nachos and toppings were fresh and tasty, large portion. The fajitas came in a sizzling bowl, very tasty, vegetables were cooked perfectly and the proteins were as well. They were flavored well with a little spice. So glad we didn’t to stop there while visiting family.“

“Man! If I don't cook this is my second home kitchen. My husband kids and I love our Mexican food and it's not easy to make us feel at home or excited about food... but when I tell you that there's days I'm at work and my kids text me and ask if we can come here for dinner!!!!! Boy! We love this place that much! The flavor is bomb the drinks are fresh and refreshing you literally taste it! It's not that powdered crap! They put their love into everything. The owner is so polite and caring he has great customer service. We go for the tacos and agua de pepino y limon but we recently tried the nachos and hamburger. Both were good but that hamburger will make you wanna slap your mama! I love this place. Seriously. Hands-down the only Mexican food in Thornton, worth your time and money. This is from the heart. Oh also, get the salsa! they have red and green, but the red is my favorite so I pour a little extra of that with a splash of green. You'll never be disappointed.“

“I love the food. Very clean. Great service & quick. Very reasonable for quality & portions.“

“Servicio de calidad y platillos deliciosos 👌🏻“

“Excelente servicio!! Todo muy rico!! Los elotes 10/10“

“We drove from Greeley to check this place out!! 100% worth the trip!! Delicious and such friendly service!!“

“I am from Mexico City and I know what real street tacos taste like. This restaurant sets up a tent on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Where they sell Pastor, Suadero, Tripa and let me tell you they are the best Street Tacos in Denver. But like I said only outside in the tent, Friday-Sunday from 7pm to 3am. Definitely I recommend them!“

“Ordered the 3 item combination (chili relleno, steak burrito, and cheese enchilada) and the Chilaquiles with 2 scrambled eggs. The chilaquiles were good (red sauce had good flavor) and the red sauce on the enchilada was also great. The enchilada was good, could have used a little more cheese, but was tasty. The chili relleno was the best item on the combination platter and the steak burrito wasn't that good (recommend getting a different item). Plates had great presentation. Service was ok - the man was nice but was busy doing other things so we didn't see him much - no refill on waters or checking on us after bringing food and waited a while for the check.“

“My family loves this place. A special treat!“

“Place is sooo good! You can’t go wrong with ordering a Colorada Torta, if you don’t know what a torta is and your new to Mexican food go try one out.

I’d like to mention that it is not cheap. It has gotten super pricey so I’m not able to go here as much as I use too back when the tortas were $9-$10 now there just getting super expensive but worth it every once in a while.“

“Absolutely Amazing!!! The team and management are beyond attentive even on a busy Friday night!
The food is the best out side of actually going to Mexico. This has replaced our usual haunts and is quickly becoming a family favorite.

The Flan is my favorite and the Coin Margs are on-point too!“

“I loved the service I don’t know how to spell her name but she said it was Aaliyah and she was super sweet and didn’t complain and had a great personality and was funny I would say give her a raise she really brighter my mood“

“We always go for the shrimp tacos…they are amazing. Today she asked if we had tried their ceviche? I said we haven’t so we did. It’s the best I’ve had. Very pleased. Always great customer service. If you have my gone you’re missing out“

“I’ve been looking for a Mexican restaurant with delicious hot sauce and I have finally found it. So far, the best Mexican restaurant I’ve tried since moving to Denver. Very friendly staff and the food is amazing. Will definitely be returning here from now on!“

“This spot is underrated. Try it if you are in the area. The Colorado burrito (add sour cream) is so good every single time. It's 80% meat and about 10% potatoes and cheese with a little bit if Mexican salsa. Sometimes the potatoes need just a little more cook time but even then it's still delicious. Been dozens of times and have only gotten that and the breakfast burrito because they are fantastic.“

“Absolutely amazing experience! From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel welcome and treated us like family. Everyone was incredibly friendly, attentive, and genuinely cared about making sure we had a great dining experience.
The food was outstanding—fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Every dish was cooked perfectly and exceeded our expectations. You can tell this family-owned restaurant takes pride in both the quality of their food and the service they provide.
Another thing that stood out was the pricing. The portions were generous, and the prices were very reasonable for the quality and quantity of food you receive. It’s hard to find a place that offers such great value while maintaining such high standards.

If you’re looking for delicious food, exceptional service, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere, this is the place to go. We will definitely be back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great local restaurant!“

“�knockout two timer � the fresh diced jalapeño, fresh cilantro, seasonal mango �“

“The food is quick to get and very flavorful. The whole chicken comes with tasty sides and tortillas. It feeds about 4 to 5 people. The service is good and quick. The atmosphere is that of your typical fast food restaurant. Nothing fancy but it's very clean.“
