I went here for the first time today. It's a cute place that reminds me of growing in the 90's. The food is yummy and the family that runs it are really nice people. read more

Absolute fire. Mom cooks in the back, some of the best food you will ever have, like home cooking. Son works the front and is a really nice guy. Love this place and the people who work here. read more

Cleanliness, service, and the food. It was terrible. My wife couldn't finish her meal. She took a few bites and put it in the garbage. We won't be back. read more

New to the neighborhood and tried this spot and was pleasantly surprised at the quality of food. Ordered the hot chili and loved it on my beef and bean burrito. will be back. Cash only no charge cards accepted but they have a ATM read more

Tasty food with a welcoming environment and great prices to add. Be sure to grab your cash for an expedited experience.

Our first visit and definitely won't be our last. We had chips and salsa, the wife had the beef and bean burrito plate and I had the tamale plate, both were delicious. The medium green chili was hot enough to make our noses run, but so freaking good. Definitely on our "go to" list from now on. read more

Some of the best smothered burritos on the planet!! Been going here my whole life. This place is a staple. Highly recommend

The Mexican Hamburger...a Denver regional creation. The key ingredients are a great green chili (Colorado Style) and a nicely cooked hamburger. The cheese, lettuce, tortilla, and tomatoes are there to inhance the experience, and they do a great job. The Green Chili has a great flavor! I ordered the hot, and the flavour was enhanced by the heat. The burger had the char that brought out the flavour even more. Will be back soon! Loved talking to the owner, it is easy to see why the have been around for 30 years. Will return soon, and see how good the enchiladas are. read more

Closed. Stopped by at noon, nobody there, closed. Update - I've been messaged they are still open for business, but I haven't made it back there to try 'em out. I will bump them to two stars until such time as I can get back there; but I'm still frustrated by them being closed on a day and time they advertise as being open (Noon)- with no note or notice. As a result of their spontaneous closure, I was forced to go to Ana's where the food was mediocre, service sucked, and I was royally screwed over on the bill. Makes me wonder if there is any good taco place in the area other than Taco Bell. read more

Chico's is a super cheap mom and pop fast food Mexican place with a tex-mex menu of chicken, beef, and cheese enchiladas, burritos, etc. It's a small room with three tables, no alcohol, and a couple of arcade games. Don't come looking for Mexican street food like tacos al pastor or shredded beef or you'll be disappointed. Tacos are "crunchy," an anathema to any purist and beef is ground. Also, no credit cards. Meh. read more

Chico's Mexican Food - order at the counter - Mexican Near Me - Broomfield, Colorado

Round 1: My first visit to Chicos I got a beef burrito deluxe. For 3.95, it was well worth it. It came smothered. Ground beef. I wont pretend to know anything about green chili. I never tried it until I came to CO. I usually throw hot sauce on it. But it was fine without. I'll be going back. Round 2: This time i chose the Mexican Hamburger, as was suggested by other yelpers. Great choice. It came with the same green chili smothered all over it. One of my top choices. I also ate the Taco burger which was alright, nothing special. Round 3: So I'm hooked by now. I love the green chili. My third trip i tried the goofy taco, which is the same as a double decker. The tamales, enchilada and tostada. Everything was great. read more

Solid Mexican food at a GREAT price. The food is solid but the price is why I keep going back! Great value for the money and plenty of family pride in the food. You will love it. read more

Friendly employees but none are wearing masks. They only accept cash as payment. What year is this? The meal I ordered was complete garbage, I threw it away after a few bites. Flavorless ground beef, tiny portion of green chile and child-sized portions of rice and beans on the side. I never thought I would ever say this, but Taco Bell is 10 times better than what I was served here. read more

I have eaten there since it first opened. I love their enchiladas and they are mild enough the kids can eat them too. My husband loves the deluxe burritos spicy or 1/2 and 1/2. When we have koi club meetings I'll take my own dishes and have them do 12 enchiladas and they are always a hit with the group. Good group of people. I haven't gotten a bad order yet and I have been there a thousand times because we live close by. They even do some special stuff like tasters for us since my grandkids are autistic and they don't want to try anything new. My kids were raised on their food. read more

Awesome green chili & basic bean burritos. Just perfect and very reasonably priced. We love Chicos. Sometimes we eat here two days in a row! read more

Absolutely wonderful family owned Mexican food establishment. Small, but just big enough to send out a quality product. Very clean. On site owner, maintaining standards.

Horrible service. Horrible attitudes towards customers who aren't regulars. Food is no where near what they portray on their front window.

Ate here for the first time tonight and it was yummy! The customer service was very friendly and welcoming. The green Chile is super delicious!! My boyfriend got the Mexican hamburger and liked it a lot, I got a bean burrito with green Chile smothered on top and it was great. Will definitely be coming back quite often. read more

If I could give them negative stars I would my mother who works for a school in the area wanted to give back to the community by ordering 60 breakfast burritos LOCALLY for staff. She called the business and as she was explaining her situation she was RUDELY cut off mid sentence by the person on the phone with a huge SIGH of annoyance and was told that if she wasn't going to order something then SHE was WASTING his time and he was very busy and didn't have time for her. She politely hung up the phone and ordered elsewhere. I will NOT ever give this restaurant business and will relay to others the horrible customer service attitude. How is this restaurant not closed? read more

Finally got to try this place right before closing time tonight. We ordered 2 beef burrito deluxe hot, one beef/bean deluxe hot and one plain beef, bean and chz. Pretty decent food for the price. I'm loving the green chili and we also got guacamole n chips which were good too. The family that runs it is fantastic!!!! Last but certainly not least they have an old school Mrs Pac-Man/Gattica (sp?) game. My daughter got a kick outta me panicking trying to play my old girl. All in all we will be back. Sorry this is so short but gotta go finish my burrito. read more

Great hole in the wall Mexican food. My favorite so far is the mexican hamburger deluxe smothered with hot green chili which is flavorful & leaves my lips on fire. My 10 year old gets the bean burrito smothered with mild green chili, ita her favorite dish. Great food for a great price read more

They seem to be open whenever they feel like it. That's o.k. though, you can always call ahead so no trip is wasted. Very good food! Good prices! read more

The spouse decided Mexican food was necessary tonight, so, based on Yelp reviews, I decided to try Chico's. We weren't disappointed. The food was good, filling, and came out in a few minutes. We tried the burritos, tacos, and enchilada, and enjoyed it all just fine. Ground beef instead of shredded, but still tasty. The prices are extremely low. We purchased three meals for about $13. It's run by Chico and his mom, and has been in business for over twenty years in Broomfield. Chico was really friendly, and we chatted while he went around the already-spotless restaurant to make everything even shinier. This is one of those places where the owners take pride in their business and their food, and pay attention to their customers. You'll want to bring cash - they don't accept plastic, in order to keep their prices down. If you need it, there's a convenience store with an ATM in the same building. The dining area is lunch-style - just a couple tables, a pinball machine, and a galaga/Ms. Pac-man game. I thought of playing a game while I waited, but talking to the owner was way more enjoyable, and the food was ready pretty quickly. It may not be glamourous and glitzy, but... Fast, hearty, friendly, cheap, and family-owned and operated for 20 years. I can gladly recommend this place. read more

It's always disappointing to me to write a bad review of a mom & pop place - or in this case 'mom & son', but I really must be honest. My husband and I were not impressed by the takeout we ordered from Chico's. While the service was very friendly and welcoming to new customers, their food isn't what we are looking for when it comes to Mexican food. The salsa was more like tomato sauce, the Guac salad was missing a few key guacamole ingredients, and the beef in the beef taco plate is ground, and somewhat reminiscent of (while a step up) from Taco Bell's meant. Again, the service was great. We were offered a sample of their chili - a popular dish patrons frequently order. It was so spicy, I don't remember how it tasted (but I may just be a weenie when it comes to spicy). Really nice people - eager to please. Unfortunately we won't be back. Our search for Mexican/Tex Mex continues.... read more

green chili angel is that you? YES!! it is my personal opinion during my, eh, say, 20 years of green chili connoisseurship that chico's has the BEST GREEN CHILI in the state of colorado. yep, i dun said it!! growing up close to chicos i never realized how spoiled i was with my green chili fixin's - now that i live down town i yearn for this liquid deliciousness!! yeah we have sanitagos - but it's just not the same. i (secretly) love when errands or family affairs take me up to 'the field' so i can load up on this lil chunk of heaven. such flavorful goodness! not to mention i always enjoy supporting a family owned business! read more

My wife and I were looking for some good Mexican food here in Denver. After a quick search on Yelp I found Chico's. This is my new place. The food was amazing. Ordered a been and beef smothered burrito and a tamale. My wife got the chicken enchilada plate. Both of our plates came smothered in green chile. As an aside, I live in New Mexico for years. I know green chile. Most of the crap here in Denver has little flavor and less heat. It's just crap. Chico's is amazing. Best I've had in Colorado by leaps and bounds. The restaurant itself is hidden in a small strip mall, there are only three tables and the food comes out on paper plates with plastic forks. If you're looking to pay too much for crappy mexican food and drink margaritas surrounded by stucco, this isn't your place. If you're looking for a quick, amazing meal, then Chico's is for you. The food was great, the green chile was amazing, the service was fast and the prices are ridiculously low. I will be back often. read more

Quick & easy Mexican food. Just get the burrito smothered with chicharrons. Don't try to get fancy--- just do simple- that will be your best bet. Cash only! read more

I'm a fan of the Taco plate and their hot sauce. When I'm home alone, I'll eat at Chico's more often than any other. You can call and place orders for pickup but no delivery. Go for a walk, it's good for you :) They are very friendly and after a few visits, they recognize you when you come in and will chat with you as if you've been friends for years talking about cars or grandbabies. It's a small place with four tables inside and a couple of video game/pinball machines. They are closed Sunday and Mondays and generally closed on holiday weekends. They do have a few drinks available; Mexican beers and Margarita's which is why I chose "Not Sure" under Alcohol. read more

Anyone who knows how to spot good Mexican food does two things: Search on Yelp and look for restaurants tucked between a liquor store and a gas station. Low and behold, you get Chico's. The portions are generous, the price is cheap, and the service is great. We did not eat in, because there were more people (10) than tables (3) at the time we arrived. However, this food is good at home and at the restaurant. Bring cash, though, or you will get no tacos! I recommend the bean burrito with green chili. If you are feeling adventurous, go for some chips and salsa on the side. The salsa is amazing. read more

You can look for years all over town for a great place to eat, then you find a gem just a few blocks down in a strip-mall between a 7-eleven and a dry cleaner. Its not big or fancy. You will not need a reservation. Leave your credit card at home (not even accepted). Just bring cash and your appetite. The green chili is delicious. I also enjoyed the beef and been burrito. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the place is clean. I only wish they opened earlier (11:00 am -8:00 pm Tues- Sat). So far, the best Mexican food I have found around here. read more

[[Do NOT, I repeat, do NOT go to crappy Taco Bell, when you can get a 2 dollar bean and beef burrito here instead, which will be FAR superior to anything you can get for even a more expensive burrito. TRUST ME.]] I've been craving a good bean and beef burrito for weeks now, and we had been eyeing this place for a while. We went for lunch around 2, and were the only ones there when we arrived but three other people showed up while we were eating. The taking orders up front, who I'm assuming is Chico from the other reviewers, was very friendly and made conversations and took our order accurately. We had forgotten to bring cash, but thankfully we had checks which they do accept, locally. We were told from someone else that had come in after us that the ATM machine that they have available only works about half the time. We got two bean and beef burritos, one beef and bean deluxe burrito, and an order of nachos for myself, my husband, and my older son. The order came to about 15$ total which is pretty cheap, considering. The nachos and the deluxe were the most, had we all gotten bean and beef burritos it would have only been around 7 or 8 bucks, which is probably the cheapest around the area for a good burrito. This is more of a take-out kinda place, but there are a few card tables to eat at if you want to eat in, so that's what we chose to do... not wanting to deal with the mess everyone would have made in the car. The order was ready pretty quickly (if the food comes before the toddler starts screaming and acting like a crazy kid, it was very quick). He brought it to our table himself and made sure we liked everything after we got a chance to take a few bites. My burrito was great tasting. It's a little on the smaller side, but I wasn't really expecting a massive burrito for 2 bucks and some change. My son devoured his, and my husband said that the green chili was awesome (and he knows his green chili). The nachos were so-so, not really a fan of those and could have done without, but still not bad. Overall, if I need a fast lunch I would go back here in a heartbeat for a quick burrito. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone. read more

This is the best burrito in town! The Mexican hamburger is also a favorite as are the tacos. Very reasonable prices and friendly owners. Best green chili ever! If you like it hot you will not be disappointed. read more

Small neighborhood mom and pop, Mexican pickup and take out. Call ahead, ask for mild sauce, you'll get flavor, excellent food, at a very very reasonably priced. read more

If you're in Broomfield this is a great place to stop and get your green chile fix. The hot was pretty spicy, but the spice didn't over power the flavor of the chile. I had the Mexican hamburger, my go to for anything smothered, and it was pretty good. Definitely go for the extra ladle of green chile. No frills, but the prices are good. I went back and got a bean burrito with the chile inside. It's better than Santiago's, but it's not Camargos. The crispy beef tacos aren't bad either. read more

My wife and I just had our 2nd dinner from Chicos (cash or check only). The gentleman taking the order was also possibly the owner. He was nice, very helpful and seemed to be an involved community man who was very familiar with his customers walking in the door. The green chili is decent but my burritos were very bland. I love guacamole of all styles, even if it has too much lemon or lime in it. This batch tasted like it had vinegar in it. Not at all enjoyable. My wife said her chicken enchilada was "ok". The quality is just not there. read more

If you are looking for an upscale Mexican restaurant with fancy mixed drinks - Chico's is not where you want to. But if you are looking for a Bean Burrito smoothed with the best Green Chili in Colorado at a mom and pop location - then Chico's is where you want to go. Rich and his mom treat everyone like family. It is the one restaurant that I truly miss from Colorado now that we live back in Chicago. read more

Neighborhood spot in a strip mall -- you go up to the counter and order from Chico himself - then mom cooks it up over the line.
