06APR2017 New owners. Better, bolder flavors. Carnitas burrito was full of smokey pork goodness. Happy. 17OCT2013 Fish tacos. 4 for $8. Perfect street tacos. Delicious white fish, peppers, onions. 29MAY2013 Have been a bunch of times. The breakfast burrito is fabulous. Today, I had 2 chiles rellenos. Crispy and very tasty. The usual friendly service. 16AUG2012 This place rocks! We went for lunch on a quiet Thursday afternoon and had a wonderful time. + Very friendly, helpful and competent service. + Mexican music playing in the background. + $1 domestic beers on Tuesdays and Thursdays. + Pleasing artwork. + Spotlessly clean according to health inspector. + Food: $2 guacamole side is an excellent value My chorizo torta with fries was delicious and huge. I did not finish it. - No Wi-Fi and the AT&T cell reception was pathetic. I think it is due to the steel in the windows and doors. Very much recommended. read more

This is one of my all time favorite restaurants in the highlands area and I have been to nearly all of them. Why? -$3.50 breakfast burtitos that taste delicious -friendly service -always fast and HOT -$8 giant margaritas -breakfast all day -French toast breakfast sandwich for $5? Seriously, every time I have been I have had an excellent experience. Fast cheap and delicious. If you live nearby and ever go to for a fast food breakfast instead of la Fuentes for basically the same price and convenience, then shame on you. Delete your Yelp account immediately. read more

Food was bland with no spice or flavor. Each meal was close to $15 for small portions. I wouldn't return.

I went to La Fuente on 10-06-19 because I had read reviews that said the food was really good. I am glad to say it lived up to the reviews! However, the service was not good. The place was literally empty and I had to ask for my check 3 times, while the waitress did things like clean, talk to the cook. read more

Thank you, THE YELPS. You guided me to this place when all my hungover self wanted was some good Mexican food. The front room is a little underwhelming but the back room is festive and bright. The food is both delicious and cheap and the waitress we had was lovely--really helpful/friendly and kept the coffee coming. read more

Just met with a client here and the food was incredible... Ordered the steak breakfast burrito a la Mexicana which is with peppers and onions. When the server asked if I wanted mild hot or half and half, I said with big eyes, 'hot' and 'do you have extra spicy?' She says in a concerned voice 'yes but you want half or on the side?'.. looking away. I said, 'give me the spicy, I want the spicy.' When she brought my burrito, she was very concerned... and said hope it is ok... lol like it might be ruined. Took one bite and perfect flavor and heat. There's not many Mexican joints that can get my nose running, this was spicy and so I ordered an extra side! One note..I had to turn around on federal because I missed the place and there is no way to turn left going north. If you're headed east down 44th turn in to the parking lot just before federal. The wait staff was very friendly and the place is clean. Other than my server being concerned for me, I think the experience was pleasurable for all concerned. read more

Best place in Denver for breakfast burritos. We haven't had anything else here and will have to try it for lunch and dinner. I always get my breakfast burritos smothered in vegetarian green chili and it's so delicious. The customer service is amazing. The last time I was here to pick up my order a couple started dancing and it was just the cutest. So charming along with amazing food! Sold. Will be recommending this place to friends and family and will be a regular customer for sure. read more

Best Mexican restaurant I've eaten, their barbacoa I've had outside of Mexico. I will be coming back a lot

This restaurant is a diamond in the rough! I drove by it multiple times. My mom recommended this place. Yummmmeeee! The service is wonderful as well. Looooooved it! read more

Do NOT order through their website. Order through postmates or contact them directly. We ordered two burritos A La Mexicana and they did not disappoint. I'm vegetarian and these burritos, the green chili and rice/beans were sooooooo gooooood!!! 100% authentic! read more

This place is a hidden gem! We just had dinner here and the food was delicious! We're vegetarian so we kind of modified our dishes and they were very accommodating, and the food tasted great! The service is wonderful also. Prices are great, and it's a pretty spacious place. read more

Whenever I come, I get a bacon & egg breakfast burrito with extra green chili. It is absolutely amazing! The bacon is crispy, the potato soft and very well seasoned, and the green chili is excellent, with fresh green chilies. They don't put an overbearing amount of cheese on either, which is refreshing. All in all, nothing I would ask them to change - just perfection! read more

I wish I could say that I can recommend this but I can't I made my order for the first time tonight online. Sent my husband to pick it up and they inform him, very nonchalantly, that they were too busy to check the online ordering and it will be another 40 minutes. With two little hungry kids at home, no thanks. Bad customer service. read more

Had AMAZING breakfast burritos from this authentic spot! Called to place the order and they were ready in just 10 min. Went into the restaurant and was greeted by a very friendly woman. They had all sorts of beverages to go. The burritos were seriously legit, got them slathered and deluxe and they were straight fire. We want to try other food from there as well. It seems like it's family owned and it's definitely authentic. Do yourself a favor and come here! Authentic, affordable, fire ass food. We will be back! read more

On Sunday my mother and I came here after I read that this place has a lot of vegetarian options. I'm always excited to go to a place that has veggie green chili, and I've been looking for another morning Mexican food place to go to on weekends. This was a hole in the wall, but there was parking, and sometimes the hole in the wall places are the best. I ordered the Huevos Rancheros with veggie green chili, and my mother ordered a bean, cheese, potato and egg burrito and a Bloody Maria. When the food came out, I immediately noticed that the green chili had pork in it. The waitress was very apologetic and took my plate away to fix the order. Then we found that my mother's burrito didn't have beans in it, so I had to ask for a side of beans. My food came out correctly the second time, but I did find a few pieces of pork still lingering on my plate. I get that their main menu is mostly meat based, but if you're going to cater to vegetarians too, you need to pay more attention to that. If I were allergic to gluten and you put gluten on my plate, I could get really ill. Vegetarians should be treated with the same respect. We also found that my mother's burrito had bacon in it. Not a huge amount mind you, but enough to make her a little ill for the rest of the day. The cashier/waitress was very kind, but she was full of excuses as to why our food was incorrect, and after saying that she would take money off of our bill for the problems, the bill still came out to over $28. REALLY?! My mother's burrito should've been totally taken off, and mine should've been reduced since I had to wait another 10 minutes to even get my food. And one very weak Bloody Maria was not worth more than $4. I'm glad I tried this place, but I will definitely not be back. read more

This is the BEST place to get breakfast burritos from. They're huge & have great flavor! The tortillas are the best part. Homemade and soooo good! read more

If you've never had a breakfast burrito from la fuente, you're a fool. Do yourself a favor.

CHILI WAS SOUR TASTING! This most likely only means one thing!! Using canned chili peppers. Very very weak and disappointing La Fuente. You should know better?? Real Mexican restaurants don't use canned chili... So surprised that a family run and owned mexican restaurant would serve SOUR CHILI. Get your chit together!!! read more

This restaurant was amazing, the food was so delicious!! I had the breakfast tamales and my husband had eggs with chorizo burritos we ate all of it! The service was wonderful too. I learned that there was an article on channel 9 news they have the best burritos in all 50 states! Amazing. read more

This place is awesome. The staff is very friendly and attentive and the food is great. Great breakfast burritos. I got the special with sauce over the top. This was the perfect burrito for a cold morning. Exactly what I was looking for. The chorizo was nice and crispy and the eggs were fluffy. Just enough flavor. I wish I had more salsa verde but I'm sure I could have gotten some if I had asked. This is the jam. read more

La Fuente - Smothered burrito! - Mexican Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Breakfast burrito. I had the chorizo without cheese. Green chile sauce is delicious, chorizo is delicious and not too spicy, the salsa that you put on it is good. They are also very friendly. A little pricey for a breakfast burrito to go compared to the area. But good! Also, a side note. The Horchata is great- mild, smooth, not too cinnamon-ny, creamy yet light. read more

La Fuente - Messy but good - Mexican Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Food is great! Especially breakfast burritos and green chili! Downside is they're pretty overpriced. There are places around just as good but way cheaper read more

I friend loves this place but I rate based on my breakfast burrito experience. I found it lack luster. I actually didn't even finish my mild breakfast burrito with bacon, it wasn't bad it just wasn't what I was looking for. I picked a big hunk of scrambled egg out and it was really tastey, but for some reason the whole thing together was not doing it for me. The cheese was stringy and snappy like a mozzarella, and the ratio of potato to egg was too potatoey. Again, just my personal preference. I'd come back if someone said they were craving this place but I don't think I'll be stopping by on my own. read more

Visiting from Chicago, I cannot compare this to other Mexican restaurants on Denver, but compared to other American restaurants I've visited across the country, this rates a 3 and a half stars. It rates a good, not quite very good. Solid presentation and good ingredients, but not as special as the reviews had led me to anticipate. Service was good but not very friendly. Freshly made chips and salsa were a nice complimentary touch. The fajitas were very nicely done with a generous portion of ingredients. There were only four tortillas which was my only complaint with that dish. We also ordered a beef and bean burrito smothered with green Chile based on all the rave reviews. The burrito was filled with ground beef and retried beans. The green Chile sauce was tasty. Together, it was a nice delicious dish. Satisfying but not a mind-blowingly out of this world experience. Very solid Mexican restaurant overall. Good service. Quick. Good food. read more

Simply, WOW. Great service, great menu options, incredibly tasty food and best of all, Melissa... We Love You!!! The price is great and there is plenty of space. My wife hated Mexican food until we visited this place. Simply amazing, Thank You so much for the great service and food. Very recommended! read more

I love supporting local mom/pop shops and this place is just around the corner from my house so, naturally, i was stoked about the breakfast burritos i had been hearing so much about.... They LOOK amazing but are rather tasteless. Sad I tried again, I was SO excited when I saw the handmade "Tamales $9 doz" sign out front on the corner, and ran in. Literally as i am handing over the $9 i am surprised to find out that (after the older woman in the back gave me a once-over and had a quick convo with the front desk gal) they decided my tamales were, in fact, going to be $12.....?? Yeah, $3 difference, big deal, but I almost felt like they were trying to get more out of me (I am young, white, female and dressed nice for work) and discussed it right in front of my face... I tried to argue the sign but there was no budging so i paid and left (passing the sign on the way out)... Boo to customer satisfaction. read more

My fav hand held burrito spot in Denver and Colorado. Fresh and delish! Te amo fuente!!!

OMG!!! Fabulous authentic Mexican fare. Absolutely delicious. We tried a number of items on the menu and everything was tasty. The refried beans were heavenly and the tacos so perfectly made. Sons raved over their burritos. Can't wait to return for more. Yum. read more

This place is a class act, best green chile in Denver! The food is amazing and honesty the best Mexican restaurant in Denver. Come and introduce yourself to your server and they will remember you! Everything is good here from tacos, enchiladas, burritos.......ets. wish this was my kitchen food! read more

Best $5 breakfast burrito. Yum!!! Very friendly staff and salsas are on point!!! I lived in New Mexico for 10 years so finding a comparable breakfast burrito here is tough... I've been searching high and low- and this one is pretty delicious. Worth every dollar and so filling!! read more

This place deserves 5 stars. Shame on me for not updating sooner. They've got CHEAP, FAST, grab-n-go bfast burritos. This was a good spot to stop off before heading to the mountains. You can get their delicious green chile inside the burrito so it's not a mess to eat in the car. They also make them in a couple minutes...we were in and out with a blink of the eye. LOVE THIS PLACE. It is now my favorite breakfast burrito in Denver once again since Pico de Gallo just closed. read more

La Fuente was our first stop in Denver, and boy, did our trip start off on the right foot. Their Chorizo breakfast burrito was fantastic. Perfectly flavorful with great tortilla, I really liked it. My brother talked about it for the remainder of our trip (no joke). We also got the Steak breakfast burrito and made it a deluxe. This was also a very flavorful burrito. The green chili had just a bit of heat and it was a great complement to the burrito. My only wish was that the burritos were a littler larger, but for the price, I can't really complain. We also ordered a Carne Asada Torta, which we all enjoyed as well. The meat was good, the bread was toasted perfectly, and all the other ingredients completed the sandwich well. Even their Horchata was really good; it was a bit more cinnamon-y than usual, and I liked that. Friendly staff, reasonable prices, and good food. This was easily one of the better meals of the trip. read more

Decent Mexican food close to the house. Not the best, not the worst. Salsa was good. Egg batter relleno was not good. Wait staff was friendly and responsive. I would say the only downside was price. For not much more, Hacienda is down I25. If you want to be the neighborhood joint, you have to own it. Get folks in the door with better and better quality food and experience. If you can't figure out how to do that, be cheap. read more

So I had to go here after Westword gave them Best in Tamales. This is a no frills ethic eatery far north on Federal. I had the Tamales plate, it had one chicken and one pork. The pork was the winner. The Green chile they were smothered in was nice. Boyfriend had the carne guacamole torte, which come with fries, and we dipped them in green chile. We also got a shredded beef burrito, which was okay. Would get the Torte and tamales again in a second. Great little spot with heart. read more

Dang!! I have been eating burritos and Mexican food in Denver since 1978 and just was turned on to this spot in 2015. Super amazing - dazzling - life-changing breakfast burritos. I ordered a giant batch ahead of time for a work event and everyone was freaking out how delicious the burritos were. I will update my review when I try more items but for now I strongly recommend the chorizo breakfast burrito mixed green chile. Boom!!!! read more

We both ordered the #5 for lunch. It was so crazy, hot (spicy hot) that we couldn't taste it!! When I told the waitress that my mouth was burning, she chuckled at me. The thing is, I like spicy hot food...but not to the point of misery! We both had some very unpleasant side effects from the meal. Won't go back. read more

The breakfast burritos here are fantastic. $3.25 gets you a steak, egg & potatoe burrito filled with cheese and green chile. Oh, and not only are they tasty, they are FAST. Ready in less than 3 minutes and you can even see them cooking 'em up fresh in their little kitchen. I usually get two when I go, but one will fill you up just fine. I've never eaten there, (burritos to go!) but the dining area is fairly large compared to the kitchen the food is prepared in. Haven't had anything other than burritos either, but all menu items seem very reasonably priced as well. The girls taking the orders are always super friendly too. A few things tobe mindful of: -the $5 minimum charge for credit card puchases -the restaurant hours (6:30a-6:30p, although they always seem to close early) -no alcohol read more

The neighborhood looked a bit sketchy and the interior is a bit grubby, but this stands as one of the best Mexican breakfasts I had when touring the southwest. If I lived in the area, I would ask for a cup of the green chile sauce to go and drink it with a straw on my way to work. It's that good folks! Okay, maybe I wouldn't go that far, but seriously, check this place out. read more

Nope, will not come back. I ordered chicken fajitas and was served gristle and skin. Maybe 2 pieces of dry actual chicken meat. It took insanely too long to get my food as well. The server was sweet, but the food quality was disgusting. One day I will find a Mexican joint in Colorado that is worth 4 stars. read more
