Place us pretty good…read more The staff was really friendly, the tacos were all pretty good. Nothing was so good that I needed more of it, but it was a good enough time that we are willing to stop by again. The place can get loud and a bit rowdy, but it's not anything that deters you from having a good time. If you're in the area, and one of the many other taco places isn't really looking good, maybe give them a try.

The service here was absolutely atrocious. I came with a group of friends for a fun afternoon of…read moreday drinking and tacos, and it ended up being one of the slowest dining experiences I've ever had. We waited about 30 minutes just to receive six glasses of water. Once our server finally came back with the waters, we were able to place our food order. Only two people in our group ordered food, and both meals were just tacos, yet it still took over an hour for them to arrive. After we finished, we then waited another 20 minutes just for the server to bring our check and then another 40 for her to come pick up our cards. The food itself was actually good, but the service completely overshadowed it. Spending that much time waiting for such simple requests made the experience incredibly frustrating. Unless you have several hours to spare sitting around, I honestly can't recommend this place. That said, I do like the atmosphere. The bell where you can throw your ice shot glasses is a fun touch and definitely adds to the bar vibe. It's also usually packed with people stopping by for food and drinks, so it has a lively energy. Unfortunately, the service was so poor that I have no desire to come back, despite the good food and fun atmosphere.

I'll admit. It's not the best taco place in Denver in any way and yet I at least got a decent…read moreservice from one of the guys at the bar where my to-go experience was a good one. Yesterday wasn't my first occasion at Locales. A year or so ago, I was here on their rooftop (or should I call it "second floor open deck) where under a beautiful sky, I enjoyed the atmosphere where a blender bike was set that made sample margaritas for people). It sure was a beautiful night. Yesterday's weather was nice also so when we went upstairs to enjoy the view for a brief moment we were able to see the same beautiful sky with some pink mixed in it. Another stunning sunset indeed. For this view, it may not be a bad place to be at. Food wise, my two fish tacos tasted good. The fish wasn't noticeably plenty and yet the overall taste of both (one was grilled and the other was deep-fried) was good with lots if flavors; the portions,however, were a bit small. $6 for each. They aren't/weren't in the permanent menu. I saw them on a temporary menu posted at the bar register. Not sure how long they will serve them. The place is quite spacious. The first floor is divided into three sections: the main one where the bar is located, second one is with some pool tables and the third one has a foosball machine. And like I said in the beginning, second floor (as long as the weather permits) is where you should be to enjoy the view especially at dusk.

I'd take this spot over a more commercialized, Americanized place any day!

I got a spicy margarita which was absolutely delicious and made exactly the way I wanted it to be made. My friend and I both had tacos. She does not eat pork so she had the Asada. I had two Al Pastor tacos and one Carne Asada. The tacos were decent nothing to rave about. In my opinion, I've had better happy hour tacos at other restaurants. The best part of happy hour was our waiter. He was excellent. I forgot his nickname and his full name because it was so long. He is the nicest guy to talk to. We both gave him a hug before we left. Just because of him I would go back to Mezcal.

The house margaritas are really good, and they always have something seasonal if you want to try it out, too. The space feels comfortable and it's like an elevated neighborhood taco bar. The staff and owner are always really friendly. I've always had friendly service. I usually get the 2 tacos plus an appetizer, and 2 drinks, but sometime when I'm really hungry I get the combo meal. The happy hour menu is totally comparable to other taco places both in quantity and price. The sleeper item is the plantain bowl! TRY IT! If you get a chance, try the arbol sauce! We have ordered Taco Uprising for the office catering and it felt like a good deal and the set up was professional. If you do have children there are high chairs if needed, children's menus and crayons & coloring. I would recommend this place - especially before a show at Cervantes and the togo orders have a quick turnaround. Everything except the corn tortillas are made in house. You MUST order the homemade flour tortillas!

We started with two amazing cocktails - the Mexpresso and Green mile - both clearly crafted with such care by the bartender (who was running a mile a minute and working hard nonstop behind the bar). We ordered t the plantains as an appetizer, and those came out and we scarfed them down. My husband and I each got a 3 taco plate and mine were the birria, Mexicano and fried chicken. I had super high hopes because there are only a handful of tacos on the menu so my thought was each would be awesome. The birria was SUPER greasy, which can be expected, but the meat was pretty fatty. I do think this was the most flavorful meat of the three. The beef in the Mexicano was SO over and tough, and honestly there wasn't much flavor here either - thankful for the green salsa that came with it. Lastly, the fried chicken was a huge disappointment. It was SO DRY, I only ate about 2 bites. My husband wasn't a fan of any of his tacos either. Really enjoyed the vibes and cocktails but for a taco restaurant, the tacos need to be the star of the show!

Coming from Chicago the food scene in Denver was underwhelming to say the least but there were always those few diamonds in the rough that truly showed through. Xiquita is one of those places. We started off the evening with the Pipian Verde which had a perfect variance of textures and the mole was incredible. We also got the Salsas Y Tostadas that came with a trio of sauces reminiscent of good Mexican food but with a special twist that brought more nuance to your normal chips and salsa experience. We ordered the Meijillones à la Veracruzana (mussels) and the Sikil Pak (vegetarian blue corn tostadas) both were absolutely perfect with just the perfect flavor combination in the tostadas and the richness of the mussels were to die for, the freshest I've had out here so far. We also ordered the Ceviche which came with luscious tuna that felt and tasted perfect. There were also these baked carrots in a beautiful verde salsa that changed my perspective on carrots. As for grande plates, we opted for the Asada de Pollo, Cochinita Pibil and Carne Asada. The chicken was ridiculously moist, melt in your more level soft and carried great depths of flavor through the bite when mixed with the rice and pico de tomatillo, this was my favorite thing to be consumed. The carne asada was a NY strip seasoned to perfection and included a beautiful salsa arriera which I wish I could get in a bottle and apply to literally everything I make at home, it had a touch of spice and a complex mix of flavors that evolved through the tasting. The Cochinita Pibil was my least favorite of the three grandes we purchased but still super good with tender shredded pork that incorporated a bit of the fat and included a great spattering of veggies and ensalada de frijol. As it was the birthday of a few friends present we received the Pan de Elote complimentary and that was awesome as well. The incorporation of corn into a dessert with the ice cream on top was truly the cherry on top of a great experience. Our server was super attentive with replacing plates, refilling water and providing explanations for each dish table side. We definitely felt that she exceeded our expectations on service we typically receive. Overall, 10/10 experience and I wish I took photos but I was hungry and plating made me want to eat right away. Will definitely be making this place a staple on my rotation when I'm looking to treat myself or a date to a nice night out. Huge thanks to the crew for putting on a meal that I won't be forgetting any time soon.

We came in without a reservation but were able to get a table within 5 minutes. Our waiter came with water shortly. He explained the menu and gave some great recommendations. We ended up trying a few things : Ceviche with leche de Tigre- 4 STARS Reminded me of Peruvian ceviche. It was really tasty and fresh Gazpacho Michoacano - basically a cucumber, cotija cheese, onion, jalapeño, cilantro lime salad that paired really well with the ceviche. This was recommended by our waiter and it did not disappoint. I did think it was a bit pricey for what it was. As our main, we tried the sopes de suadero. These were two heavy loaded sopes. After these we did not have room for dessert. Green Salsa that came under the meat was so fresh and the right amount of spice. Sadly, we didnt have enough room in our stomach to try the desserts.
