I have been attending Liz’s place since she opened. I’ve never had a bad meal or a bad experience. I was very excited to go and try the brunch and it definitely did not disappoint. Although there was many things that looked appetizing that I wanted to try, I went with the breakfast skillet. It was delicious and it was more than enough food to get me feeling better the day after the Broncos win! Huge shout out to Liz and all of her wonderful staff for always making me feel like family.

I liked it. Everything was a little spicy but well done. Lots of fat in the carnitas…. Not authentic. I wish I got the chile relleno. The steak and bacon wrapped shrimp is why you come here. Very nice atmosphere. Incredible service. Decent pricing.

I definitely enjoyed this place. The steak was very tender and flavorful. The bacon wrapped shrimp were very good with the shrimp being perfectly prepared. While the flavor of the relleno was good it was soggy and i prefer a crispy releno myself. I liked the taste so didn't take away for my personal relleno preference. The margaritas were not very big, did not taste strong but did pack a punch, I don't think it hit my wife until she was half way through her second one.
