    The entire unappetizing slop.
    Christina M.

    This was the second time I came here. My first time wasn't horrible, but it wasn't memorable - but one thing I do remember is the curt service - as if I was a hassle. But it wasn't egregious, so I shrugged it off. However, I returned on Friday at about 3:30pm. I had been in traffic for the past hour, and was starving, and just wanted a really nice meal and a margarita. I sat down at the bar, and received the same curt greeting that I had received the first time. Different bartender. I asked for a margarita, and he just walked away, and 30 seconds later put a drink in front of me. Pre-made margarita obviously. But it hit the spot. I looked over the menu - someone reviewed this place and said the prices were not over the top. I would say they are over the top. Almost everything was $20, including their burritos. OK, I'll be paying some money, so I went with their carne asada salad. If it's good, I don't mind spending $21 on a salad. The description said, "With our special House dressing". So when I went to order, I asked the bartender what the house dressing was? He looked at me like no one had ever asked him to describe their food before, so I pointed at the description and said, "' It says special house dressing' - what is the dressing?" He says, and I swear to God I am quoting him: "I don't know. They make it in the kitchen." Ummmm, what? Ok, I decided he wasn't going to affect my calm demeanor. I had been driving an hour in traffic - not gonna be upset by this obvious BS of an answer. I ordered this $21 salad. This is where I start really getting upset. Out it comes, (please see the pics) - and I could smell the steak before it got in front of me. It was burnt on the outside, and I could tell it had been sitting around. Are you Fing kidding me? The "special dressing" was non-descript, so I put a cucumber in it (the mildest thing I could find), and discovered why it was non-descript. It tasted like they took canned chopped tomatoes and cottage cheese and blended it together. I asked for another dressing, and told him it had no flavor. He said nothing and walked away. At this point, a manager had come out in a yellow shirt and was HEEEY HOOOO-ing to all the regulars. I was ignored. But the bartender DID have the manager bring me the new dressing, and he put it down in front of me while half way walking away. No one asked me how anything was. It was as if I did not exist. My bill came - I had 2 HH margaritas and this crap on a plate, that was burnt with iceberg lettuce (iceberg?? on a $21 salad?? - how do you come up with your ridiculous prices??) and some dressing they threw together 3 minutes before putting it before me. My bill was $42. Just for me. $42 for an over-priced burnt sad excuse for a salad. I am convinced they cater to their regulars, don't give a crap about a newcomer, and they gave me crap that had been sitting there and they didn't want to waste food. I have never, and I do mean NEVER not tipped - but I wrote in the tip line: See my Yelp review. Thanks for letting me know I am not welcome here." So, here is my Yelp review, Casa de Vallarta. I live close by, and you could have had a regular. But I am STILL fuming over an inedible salad, and spending $42 for 1 1/2 margaritas (I didn't even finish the second one I was so repulsed by the food and the treatment.

    We had a great time at Casa Vallarta! It's been years since we've come to Casa Vallarta and I'm glad that we tried it again! Our quality was absolutely huge! We had dinner for two days with the portions that's we were given. The food was also very good! I had the chicken with rice and it was very good. I was also offered tortillas with my meal which was a great choice. Our service was great. While we chose inside to sit there is a huge patio that you can sit at if you'd like. The only downside of my experience was that the margaritas tasted somewhat from a premix but they were still good. Great experience overall!

    Based on the positive reviews I decided to give it a shot to this place, but it really disappointed me. First because the whole restaurant has a fishy stinky smell all over the place, second the salt and pepper shakes were dirty and sticky, third the food was terrible! It was Tasteless and sloppy. However, our waiter was very friendly and attentive all the time that's why the two stars. I won't come back again because the food was not good at all.

    It's a very large and inviting restaurant. The service was good. The food was ok, the salsa was spicy. I didn't care for the refried beans and the ground beef had an odd flavor. The house marg was extremely sweet. The prices were fair. Not the best food but I've had worse. The chips were stale.

    Awesome service they treat you as if you are family! Great food and drinks! Whether you want dinner in the restaurant or to watch a game in the bar area it's a great atmosphere. I'd recommend this place. The staff goes above and beyond!

    While visiting Denver, I came here with some friends for lunch and drinks. The sangria was probably the highlight! The chips and guacamole were very tasty, but the queso was a bit thick and cold. I ordered the chimichanga, which can be subjective from place to place, so I'm flexible. Not the best, not the worst. Overall, though, the food is delicious. The one food item that really stuck out the most was the taquitos. I don't recommend the rice and beans. Unfortunately, this should be pretty easy for a Mexican joint, but they were flavorless and the beans were undercooked. The ambience is nice, and outdoor seating was really lovely. Bathrooms were super clean. Overall, I really liked the place and would come back. Maybe just try something else other than rice and beans!

    Buena comida , buen serviciooo y precios accesibles ambiente familiar , recomendado al 100

I came with a few friends and it was a fun experience to try. You start off by ordering with the waitress and then the subsequent rounds, you order off the QR code that's at the table. The restaurant was pretty busy so we had to wait longer than we wanted to place an order. As far as the food, it felt more like baos and dumplings, not so much the classic dim sum styled foods. Another con was that the menu had so many non available items-items that would have completed the dim sum experience a little better. If you want actual dim sum, go somewhere else. It was fun for the experience and value, so I was glad we came once.

Table next to us says they only come for lunch and feel like they only serve the more wanted items for dinner and just say they are "out" because they've NEVER had it. If that is true, it is highly disappointing. AYCE is 18.99 per person. Here is what we were able to order: 1. Scallion Pancake- good crisp! I liked how light and delicious this bite was 2. Crab Cheese Wonton- these were HOT in terms of temp, but 99% cream cheese so it was okay. 3. Chili Oil Wonton: loved the flavor, however skin was a bit tough, didnt steam long enough. 4. Chicken Wing- very very dry, comes without any sauce or seasoning so its on the side. 5. Pork Bun- a bit dry, but it had a savory flavor too it, not as sweet. 5. Chasu Bun- loved this one more than the 6. Pork Dumpling (did not have Beef)- it was okay, filling was decent, but again the wrapper had a weird bite to it. 7. Soup Dumplings: definitely better than the other dimpling, however they all stuck to the bottom so the wrapper ripped and I never tried the soup. 8. Chicken Feet: i normally love chicken feet but the braised sauce was underwhelming and not very...good? flavorful? 9. House Noodles: the noodles tasted a bit off. Green beans tasted and looked can to me. It just wasn't a favorite. Desserts: 1. Mango was very artificial. 2. Mocha was good, nice chocolatey taste Overall...I dont know if I would be back. I had such high hopes to try the spareribs, taro buns, golden lava buns, beef dumplings, lotus bun, sticky rice, etc. But they were all "out". Again...for an AYCE place at lunch it was $42 before tip and it would've been nice to have the full menu array. The ambiance is very bright and large screens, so it can definitely capture your attention. There was only one main server and she was doing her best.

I had also heard several coworkers talk about how good the food was, so I decided to place a takeout order for my family. When I picked up the order and got it home, I was amazed by how much food was in the bag. The meal arrived packed in foil pans--two smaller pans and one long pan. They also included napkins, tartar sauce, ketchup, and hot sauce packets. The portions were extremely generous. There were three of us eating, and we had enough leftovers to enjoy for almost three days. The meal was a little pricey, but considering the amount of food we received, the value was actually pretty good. As for the food itself, I wasn't as impressed as I expected to be after hearing so many people rave about it. The food wasn't bad, but it didn't leave a lasting impression on me. The best way I can describe it is that it was just okay. To be fair, this was a takeout order. I don't know how long the food sat before I picked it up, and some dishes simply don't travel as well as others. I suspect the dine-in experience may be much different. Although my first visit didn't quite live up to the hype, I appreciate the generous portions and attention to packaging. I'm willing to give Pappadeaux another chance in the future and try the full dining experience before making a final judgment.

All the staff members I encountered were very friendly, nice and attentive which was a huge plus, especially considering how busy it was that day.

    Absolutely Exceptional…read more Jack's on Pearl exceeded every expectation. As Texas transplants, we've enjoyed some incredible steakhouses over the years and have traveled extensively, but this was truly one of the best dining experiences we've had. We even drove up from Colorado Springs for our 18th wedding anniversary, and it was worth every mile. We started with the wedge salad, which was fresh, crisp, and packed with flavor--easily one of the best wedge salads we've ever had. The warm bread service was incredible and paired perfectly with the house-made spreads. The mac and cheese was rich, creamy, and absolutely unforgettable. The highlight of the evening was the Wagyu steak topped with cheesy potato croquettes. It was cooked to perfection and so tender it practically melted in your mouth. Every bite was packed with incredible flavor and was one of those dishes you continue talking about long after the meal is over. What impressed us most was that every single item we ordered was exceptional. The quality of the ingredients, attention to detail, presentation, atmosphere, and service were all top-notch. After reading some of the reviews beforehand, we weren't sure what to expect. In our experience, this restaurant is incredibly underrated. Our meal, service, and overall experience were outstanding from start to finish. If you're looking for a special dinner, anniversary celebration, or simply one of the best meals you'll have in Colorado, Jack's on Pearl is absolutely worth the visit. We will definitely be back and will be recommending it to friends and family. Thank you to the entire team for making our 18th anniversary so memorable. -- Andrea & Sergio
