I think this is more of a sports bar. Food is awful. How can asada taste bland? Elote was actually nice but everything else was bad. There are so many great mexican places in walking distance that you can skip this place. The portions are small but porportionate to its price, so for the procr points it can be a 3 star

Our server Charlie was great! I flew in From Detroit to see my cousin for the weekend and she suggested drinks at Mexico City. It was also my birthday and I was given a free bday drink along with excellent service and smiles. I insisted he take a picture with us. I wish I always received service like this and would recommend it to anyone who loves Mexican food and spirits with a great vibe ❤️

THEE best tacos I’ve in Colorado in the 3 years I’ve lived here. Service was authentic and awesome as the food. Clean, friendly, and great environment. We will be back again soon. Yum! Support local.

Pretty cool spot. Nothing to get too excited about, though. Probably the most "real" joint in the area, good old school vibes. Fantastic spot if you're a drinker. Food prices are quite reasonable, especially for this part of town. The green chile has some tasty pork fat bits (that was gross to say...who am I?). Taco shells are really greasy (heartburn city). Would go back. What do they close so early?!
