Crystal N.

The epitome of "don't judge a book by its cover." Some of the best Mexican food I've had. My absolute go-to is the Huarache with cecina. The service is quick and very friendly! Weekends are very crowded, so we try to go for a weekday lunch when there's a higher chance to get a table pretty quickly. This is a must every time we go to Denver.

Enchiladas Verdes (green enchiladas)
Paola U.

I heard great things about this place and well it was just, ok. Glad I gave it a try though. Service: great. Nothing to say here but that I was greeted as I walked in and everyone else was too. Quickly asked "for here or to go" and throughout our dine in the young lady checked in on us. She gave us to go boxes and Togo cup for my agua fresca. Food: now for the food . . . It was just OK to me nothing over the top nothing spectacular. Based on the hype and reviews this place had, my expectations were quite high. Nonetheless not the best Mexican food I've had or the worst. What we ordered: Tacos: 3/5 ok Enchiladas: 3/5 Asada plate: 3/5 Asada fries: 3/5 Horchata: 4/5 yummy and not too sweet - but tasted more like coconut agua fresca Jamaica: 5/5 yummy, tart not too sweet Salsas : 5/5 Ambiance: cute, no complaints loved the authentic feel and Mexican music playing in the background

Asada sope
Renaye V.

I was so excited to try this place since it got so many goo reviews. Our server was not very friendly, the food was very bland and over cooked. The chips were stale and the horchata tasted off. The restaurant was bigger than I expected and pretty clean. I really can't recommend anything we got. Sope was undercooked Asada was ground and dry Rice was so bland, no color to it either Chorizo burrito had no flavor Carnitas were very dry

Enchiladas Aztecas with carnitas
Brian J.

Was working around this area and decided to eat here for lunch. Located in a gas station, but they have plenty of room. Place is also very clean! I ordered the Enchiladas Aztecas with Carnitas. I like the taste of the cactus, but the carnitas were very salty. The corn tortillas were also tough, like they had been sitting out for a while. I think I would have enjoyed the dish more if I didn't have the carnitas.

Torta Milanesa
Amy R.

Grabbed a to-go Torta Milanesa today for lunch and it is sooo good! I wish I had time to eat there because they had amazing live music.

Chorizo Burrito
Megan H.

Hot damn that was an awesome breakfast burrito!! I got mine with chorizo, and split it with someone. I asked for the green chili on the side rather than smothered. But it also came with two salsas which were sooo good I'll probably skip the green chili next time. I waited 4-5min for the burrito and could barely contain my excitement while I heard everything cooking in the kitchen. The restaurant wasn't busy today, but it was clean and a fun spot I want to come back to. Some Google reviews said these were small burritos, but not today! This one was huge!

Nachos
Kylie C.

I like to use Yelp for good, in this case I'm doing good to the world by recommending you NOT eat here. The service was slow, the waitress did not check on us during the meal or offer refills, I had to chase her down to pay the bill. The agua fresca was bitter. My biggest gripe was my plate of Nachos, where the cheese was shredded and MICROWAVED. I had asked for multiple topping to be put on the side and they never brought them. I paid $15 for chips, some lettuce and a drizzle of sour cream. Not worth the price. A small hole in the wall which did not deliver, a dirty messy excuse of a restaurant.

Vegan Huarache - freshly made corn tortilla topped with refried beans and lots of vegetables. Delicious
Sadie D.

We loved our experience at Garibaldi. Friends took us there not knowing we are vegans. The owner customized food for us and it was delicious! We will definitely be back. Unusual dishes that we loved. It is in the same building as a gas station so it is a little hard to find.

Huaraches with carne asada, close up. Beef tasted old and was pretty chewy. Overall flavor was good and masked the old meat taste.
Nika T.

Nice service and enjoyable complimentary chips and spicy salsa. My husband and I both opted to try the huaraches. I got mine with carne Asada and he got his with half chorizo and al pastor. My asada had a crumbled beef look to it and tasted kind of "old" and chewy if I ate a bite on its own. With the rest of the toppings and sauces on the huaraches it was fine but I was disappointed it had an old beef taste to it and wasn't fresh and tender. My husband said his meet toppings were also rather chewy and disappointing. I would go back and try them again, but not on a Monday, when it seems like their meats aren't very fresh.

The burrito, fries and carnitas
Trish A.

What an interesting location in a gas station. We started with chips and salsa. It was ok. I had a steak burrito, which was huge. Way too much for 1 meal. Will have the rest for lunch tomorrow. Again it was ok. My husband had the carnitas and said they were also ok. After reading the reviews I do not agree with the 4 1/2 stars. Probably will not return. There are many more Mexican restaurants to try.

Pambazos... HUGE!

Cencalli is a popular spot in downtown Littleton, and for good reason. It was busy when we visited,…read morebut the food was worth it and we got sited right away. We tried a variety of tacos, and they were all really good. My favorite protein was the skirt steak, it was incredibly tender and practically melted in my mouth. The mahi taco was another standout. I appreciated that the fish wasn't breaded. It had a nice crisp, while staying juicy and flavorful inside. The surf and turf tacos were probably my favorite overall. If you're looking for something different than a traditional skirt steak taco, definitely give them a try. The toppings worked really well together, and the smoked corn on the side was delicious. The margaritas were strong, refreshing, and full of flavor. Overall, a great place for tacos and drinks in downtown Littleton.

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.

A friend recommended this spot, and I'm so glad! We went on…read moretaco Tuesday and had no problem getting bar seating (or there were a few tables available) around 5pm but I noticed after 6pm people were waiting for seating. The food was delicious! We got $2 chips and salsa off the happy hour menu and the queso con soyrizo (not on HH menu) which was served with warm tortillas. Honestly we probably didn't need all that because the tacos were so good I could've just filled up on more of the tacos, but still was a great meal! I ordered the lengua, pastor, and taco special (breaded shrimp). They were all so good. Think taco quality of a good street taco spot but with the ambiance of a cute tex mex bar. The bartender was great and made a solid marg ($8 on happy hour). You get a great deal on taco Tuesday but I'm sure you'd get great service and quality any day of the week!

Good meal but a lot of work and hassle!…read more Very limited parking. Left side of the building are a few parking spots shared by several businesses. Good luck getting a spot. Then you are driving the neighborhood hoping to find a spot. Finally parked and walked to the restaurant. Host told me it would be 30 minutes but the actual wait was 50 minutes. Spend so much time parking and then waiting, at what point do you give up and leave empty handed? Restaurant is VERY LOUD. Finally got a table and ordered OFF MENU. Server agreed to substitute shrimp for my enchiladas and they were good! Fresh corn tortillas were the highlight. Ordered tres leches cake and enjoyed it too. Was a nice meal but just not worth all the hassle.

Four of us went to Perdida Kitchen for an early Father's Day dinner and we were very glad we did!…read moreIt is on the very busy strip near Washington Park which we don't often frequent because it is indeed very busy. But this was Monday evening and we were seated immediately. Our server said that we had 5 minutes left for Happy Hours--thank you!!--so ordered Caliente Margaritas and appetizers. The nachos were delicious--and messy! The Margaritas were as well. I had a nonalcoholic Athletic Brewing Company Cerveza Atletica (Mexican style copper). There were several other NA cocktails and beers available as well. We were all very pleased with our entrees. They were all luscious. Two of us are vegetarian and there were plenty of choices. I had Crispy Avocado Tacos, which came with black beans, and a side of Street Corn--both great choices. My friend had quesadillas and Potato Flautas , which I tasted and almost wish I had ordered as well. Our carnivore gentleman partners were also very happy, with one of them choosing a sampler, "Perdida's 'Best Of' Plate." Perdida is a great new addition to the Wash Park area.

Stopped in for a quick drink before another event in the neighborhood. Cute decor abounds as you…read moreenter Perdida.We sat at the bar and were immediately greeted by the very nice bartender. We had arrived just in time for Happy Hour- Monday-Friday, 3-5pm . Perdida has a worthwhile Happy Hour as several main menu appetizers as well as cocktails are discounted. I selected the classic marg to sip on. It was a good, standard margarita for $6. We also had to try the mini chile rellenos. These were tasty and the dipping sauce paired well with the chilies and cheese. Perdida was good. I think I'll revisit to try some main dishes. The fajitas smelled amazing!
