We recently moved to the Golden area and have been on the hunt for a great Mexican restaurant…read more After trying a few spots nearby, Birriería Donna Maria has quickly become our go-to. The food is consistently excellent. We've ate here four times so far and haven't been disappointed once. My personal favorites so far are the enchiladas and the fajitas. In my opinion a lot of places tend to overcook the meat in fajitas, but not here. The meat has always been tender, and the seasoning is spot-on. The staff at Donna Maria are professional, welcoming, and attentive, which makes the experience even better. The restaurant space itself isn't huge, but it's comfortably sized, and we've never had to wait for a table. If you're in the Golden area and craving quality Mexican food, this place is definitely worth checking out.

The birria here is amazing, especially the goat birria. I've been here multiple times and also…read moreordered take out and delivery multiple times and I have to say this place does not miss. There's nothing better than a nice bowl of birria consomme. The best thing to do is to order the birria consomme or soup and make your own birria ramen at home. The broth is rich and tasty, and the meat, whether beef or goat, is fall apart tender and extreme flavorful.

This would be a five star review minus two things…read more 1. My menu was filthy. Sticky and needed cleaning desperately. Menus are touched by people all day and as such need to be cleaned. 2. A three percent credit card fee. I despise credit card fees and often avoid places that charge them. Aside from the two points I made above, this restaurant was fantastic. I received a fifty percent off coupon in the Money Nailer and decided to give it a shot. I invited my brother in law and headed over. Plentiful and close in parking. The outside of the building is rather basic but the inside is nothing but vibrant colors and beautiful decorations. The color schemes really worked for me. We were seated within a minute of walking in the door and had chips and salsa thirty seconds later. Our drink order was taken immediately and the woman taking the order was friendly and pleasant. Our waiter, showed up a few minutes later and took our order. I ordered the fish taco salad and my brother in law ordered the bacon wrapped shrimp fajitas. Both meals showed up in about 15 minutes and were piping hot and fresh. I could hear the fajitas sizzling for a full two minutes. My fish taco salad was amazing and I enjoyed every bite. The bacon wrapped shrimp fajitas looked and smelled incredible. My brother in law said they tasted as good as they smelled and looked. We also shared a shrimp cocktail that knocked my panties off. Or, would have, had I been wearing any. LoL. This was a great lunch and I will happily return. I really hope they read this and clean the menus. Very unattractive.

I don't remember what I ordered though so at the time it just wasn't very stand out-ish. I recently went back with some friends because I told them I was in the mood for tacos. I tried a few different ones, the Carnitas, the Barbacoa, and the Lengua. I was full with three, but it was so good. I ordered a fourth and my husband who normally gets my leftovers - didn't get any leftovers from me this time! He got a couple different tacos from what I had largely. We ordered about the same, but he got the shrimp which he said was delicious as well. I also tried the signature, Bellanova margarita - I must say that was a little unexpected, not your traditional margarita it was very sweet, so probably not something I'd order again since I prefer stronger tasting drinks, but the coconut flavor in it was delicious if you like coconut. The service was excellent! When we arrived, the interior was super packed and super loud so I was very relieved when we got to sit on the back patio, which turned out great because even though there was a little noise there, we were able to hear each other much better. The server was excellent. She kept checking on us. She answered all our questions and was very kind and accommodating. I've been thinking about the tacos since then, it's been about a week, I can't wait to go back.

I really enjoyed my recent visit to Cencalli. I ordered the Pork Pork al Pastor Taco and carnitas…read moretaco and it was very authentic. The corn tacos were very fresh and table service was great. They have a great selection of drinks, alcoholic and regular, and our server was fast but didn't rush us at all. The only confusing thing about our visit was that we had to wait in the back of the restaurant for our table, fine no issues with that. Except that they told me someone would be "right there" to get a drink order for when we were waiting for our table. Sure, well after 10 minutes no one had come by where we were sitting to get our order. We even tried to nicely flag down a server, but no one listened. So I went up to the bar myself and was sharply told, "no, you'll have to wait for someone to come by. We can't have anyone up here." Okay??? A server did soon after stop by, however I found that process not smooth at all. Overall, though, a good restaurant and I would even love to stop by there for brunch sometime.

Jaime's is definitely one of the Mexican restaurants I trust. Service is solid but what I trust the…read moremost is the food quality. I'll admit, I have had not so great meal once before and yet it wasn't horrible in any way. The Grilled Chicken Breast (Pollo Asada) dish I had the past Friday was indeed nowhere near disappointing. Although the meat wasn't super tender, the overall flavor and seasoning on everything was simply just right. The portion (not to mention) was generous as well (they included 4 pieces of corn tortillas for me!!) The ambiance is that of the family-owned old-time diner feel; some may say it's a bit outdated and yet I can easily call that "old-fashioned" in a good way. I have never found it dirty or messy ever. It's a bit out of the way for me (from my DTC house) and yet I choose Jaime's if/when I see fit. My good friend who lives only a few minutes from it cherishes this place. I thus support Jaime's!!

Please keep in mind, Chapala was a neighborhood gem, and was recently discovered by an "influencer". The result is that they didn't ask for the crowds they got.

I've had the enchilada trio and the tortilla soup and also the carne Asada with mushrooms. Oh my God. As I get older sometimes margaritas and Mexican food do not agree with me later in the day if you know what I'm saying for whatever Gastro reason that happens as you get older, but I have walked away feeling fine after putting down baskets of chips, margaritas, and the better part of an entrée so this is my go to because the food is delicious! The drinks are fantastic and the service is friendly!

It's also very unassuming. It looks like a very small restaurant on the outside but once you are inside, you'll be shocked to see its good size dining area. This place is all about happiness. I mean seriously!! They care about their customers that get satisfied with their service and meals. And it does draw a very diverse crowd from the Hispanics to Caucasians to Asians, I mean you name it. They also get a lot of to-go orders. Some people came in, grabbed their food and went on their way for the night. My friend got the Torta Los Carboncito. This is a massive sandwich with plenty of meat inside. Since the menu has colored picofor almost each item, what caught my attention was the fish dish. There are two of them: one is trout and the other is something else (I forgot) but I got me the non-trout one. The lady asked me if I wanted the flour or corn tortillas so I went with the corn one. As soon as I got home, my late night snacking started. I only took several bites out of that whatever the huge fish. And oh my goodness, it was so delicious! Well-seasoned with very light salt. Although I mainly got it for tomorrow morning/lunch I had a hard time quit eating because of its deliciousness. Extremely welcoming staff (I even met the owner, Alex as he was dining with his family), quality food and value pricing, this place checks out for the hidden gem restaurant that's not necessarily super fancy but it's worth every penny and time. Yelping is so much fun. That is why I cannot quit my foodie-ness! What a nice discovery!
