La Abeja Restaurant

I’ve admittedly avoided this spot for a long while due to the persistent shenanigans on that strip of Colfax, and it’s less than appetizing exterior. However, last weekend we returned for smothered breakfast burritos that were some of the best I’ve ever had. La Abeja is clean inside, despite its surroundings, and the food feels and tastes like it’s made with love by your Mexican grandmother (because it is). Best creamy, spicy and flavorful green chile I have had in Colorado. Huge portions, made fresh and served piping hot. Puts most hipster burrito places to shame. Muchas Gracias!

I was charged $18.00 for a $10 dish. I called when I saw the charge on my cc and they said “well it was 18 that day”. That was not listed on the menu.. I asked for a refund and they told me they close in 20 minutes and if I wanted the 8 dollar difference - only cash - I’d need to come back in person and were very rude on the phone because I wouldn’t travel back to get the “refund”. This establishment is a scam. I won’t go back for them to fix this issue, they should have been able to fix it on their end. It’s a bummer because I do love supporting local restaurants, and honestly their enchiladas taste good so far, but i won’t be back again. I’ll stick to plenty other respectable local places nearby on colfax. In response to the owner: I was not intoxicated, and I'm not sure why that would be relevant. Even IF (again i was not..) I was too intoxicated to serve, you have the right to deny service at any time, I work in the service industry as well. Here is where it was listed as on the menu, as most of the prices were marked with edits over the prices.

For years, this has been my favorite spot for Mexican fare, everything has been solidly consistent. Amazing breakfas burritos and tacos, my favorites remain the quesadilla with barbacoa or carnitas, or the classic Huevos Rancheros. Salvador and crew are always very friendly, and the food is authentic and well prepared.

This is my favorite place to get a smothered burrito - ever. They have the best green chili I have ever had. I work in the Wells Fargo building and we regularly order from here for lunch. Do not let the outside fool you! This place is a must!!
