I had the menudo but I kept watching as they served other patrons amazing looking plates.

Tasty selection of mexican standards plus some more unusual items. Where else have you seen a Pambaso outside of Mexico City? They make delicious birria with goat. There are also great central American dishes. The pupusas are made fresh to order with your choice of fillings. The 15 minute wait is worth it.

So since moving to Denver about a year ago I've been checking out all the delicious Mexican food and this is right up there with some of the tastiest I've had. Ordered four carnita tacos and a tamale. Both outstanding. Monika was our host and she was awesome. Will definitely be a return customer.

I have visited this place on a few occasions. Every time I have gone, I have chosen their Carne asada street tacos. Although I won't claim they are the absolute best I've ever had, they definitely come in a close second. The customer service is truly remarkable, and the food is even better. You have gained a loyal customer for life. Additionally, it is worth mentioning that they are pet-friendly. When I take my husky for a walk, I can bring her along and they graciously allow her inside. This is a significant advantage as it appears that many establishments nowadays do not permit pets.

Awesome Smothered Bacon Breakfast Burrito. New to the area, and I've found my authentic Mexican restaurant!
