I've been to this restaurant a few times now, and it's consistently great. The service from start to finish is beyond friendly... I truly feel appreciated as a customer when I go there. It's the kind of service that more restaurants should learn how to mimic. The food is excellent, offering large portions and delicious leftovers. They even give salsa in individual bowls for the chips, which was unique and appreciated. I couldn't recommend this one more.

Always drove by this place and finally decided to try it out! I’m glad I did. It’s a huge space with multiple different rooms. Ordered the tacos plate with carnitas and chicken Al pastor. Very hearty portions and I’m glad rice and beans come included. Table chips and salsa were just okay, maybe a little stale. Service was excellent.

I'm originally from Dallas, having moved to Denver 20 years ago. When I heard there was a Mexican food place named after my Texas' state flower, you bet I went to try the place out! What I didn't know was that it's a Denver institution... I have been irregularly a regular at Blue Bonnet for over 20 years now. It's just such a central and great place to meetup with friends for margs and chips. And, for my friends with celiac disease, they've never had a problem with the reliability of the extensive gluten-free menu. Heck, I order off that menu half the time. There's a great happy hour menu! For pricing, otherwise, it's a reasonable expectation for eating out, especially as large as the portions are. The staff is friendly and professional, have always been satisfied with the service, no matter how busy they get... and, they get busy! It's not quite the Tex-Mex I grew up with but, after all these years, it definitely tastes like home!

If you have celiac I couldn't recommend this place more. They use color coded plates and menus so you know your food is safe. They have so many options and it's delicious. I didn't try the margs but I want to come back and do so.
