I stopped by this DGO restaurant yesterday to grab lunch since I was staying at the hotel across the street. When I walked inside, they were not busy so they let me choose where I wanted to sit. I sat at a table right behind the bar so I could watch the television there. I went with the carne asada entree plate and was able to sub out the beans with fries. My food came out quick and it was delicious. The portion of the carne asada wasn't that much but the other sides helped fill me up. I asked for flour tortillas but got corn instead, I didn't mind but I think the waitress had trouble understanding. The inside of this restaurant is very nice at the bar or just regular dining. I would recommend this place.

What a treat to stumble upon this place. Unassuming on the outside, but warm and festive inside. We got lucky and walked in for Happy Hour. What a deal! The tacos were authentic and superb. The margaritas are delicious and made well. The staff is great and Jackie did a phenomenal job as our server. If you’re looking for authentic Mexican and are nearby, you owe it to yourself to stop in.

Talk about great taste and service. Traveling from California we decided to go to the Broncos team store. This restaurant is just right there lol I'm from California and I travel to different parts of Mexico. The food here at DGO was amazing, authentic and the place is beautiful. The staff was very friendly and easy to tall too. Highly recommend coming here, I will be back and hope to bring my elders to taste this authentic sazon!

So happy this spot opened next door! It’s such an upgrade from the last restaurant that was there. We got the fajitas to share and they were perfect! The free salsa was spicy and so good. Great ambiance and super friendly service. Such a great vibe. Right across from mile high stadium. They also have a happy hour i’ve been getting $2 tacos such a steal! They have great hours open for breakfast all the way to dinner time. Lots of variety. Owner and servers are so friendly. Definitely a must try local mexican spot!
