This place is great! The service is really nice. My food came out hot and quickly. I got a super burrito with chicken and beans and it’s absolutely delicious. There’s plenty of room in the dining area for families and they were playing the Olympics. I also got a sopapilla and they brought me honey and cinnamon sugar. It was so delicious. The owner came and chatted with me. I highly recommend stopping in for lunch.

We were definitely late to the party on this place... service was unparalleled and the food was even better. We shared flautas and queso and it was FIRE!!! Cant wait to return!!! The staff is really sweet and attentive too! Don't sleep on this place! Update. We came again last night to enjoy nore food. But we were sadly disappointed. We ordered 2 drinks. I asked for a Paloma, and the server brought 2 margaritas 🍹. We decided to take food to go. We ordered 12 flautas with queso and guacamole. Our bill was around 60 dollars. Since the food was so good last time and the service was nice I didn't even think to check the bag. But when we got home, there was only 3 flautas. Also, the queso had separated and the guacamole was oxidized. Pretty awful for what we paid. We didnt even eat it. Super disappointed.

My family had a very large get together here over the weekend for a party, and it was so much fun! Other members in my family were frequent customers over the years but this was our first time. The food was delicious, the green chili was awesome, the food service was fast. The booths and building are a little worn but everything was clean. I think the servers and bartenders were a little flustered with how huge the crowd was, but they honestly had no reason to be because they did awesome. Everyone we spoke with loved the food and service; all of the staff were incredibly attentive and friendly. 10/10 recommend and we can’t wait to go back and try it when we’re on that side of town and don’t have 50+ people in our group.

My absolute favorite restaurant. The Chili rellenos are amazing. The salsa is so good they bottled it and selling it online and in grocery stores. Whenever we visit Denver (we're from NYC) it's our first stop.
