La Loma is always a great experience. We were really excited when the McGregor location opened. We've always loved the Broadway location but now that we can grab some great food before a Rockies game, what else could you ask for? The restaurant is always very clean and the views on all sides are perfect for a downtown vibe. Service is always great as well. The chicken flautas are always a favorite for us. Don't forget - the best green chili in Denver! Jaylene was our server today and she was very professional and attentive. Also let know that the kitchen could still make our favorite dish, even though it's no longer on the menu. We always love coming here and is always the first place that we recommend for friends and family in town. read more

Jaylene was our server, and she did an excellent job taking care of us. I had the Mexican torta which was incredible, and my fiance had the combination plate. We also got free chile Rellanos with rockies tickets, and they were delicious. I love the atmosphere of the place, it is the only Mexican restaurant that I could easily say fits the "fancy" description. read more

As a Texan relocating to Denver in the coming weeks, I'm starting a mission to find a Mexican restaurant that meets my standards and La Loma might be the winner. This location offers a swanky ambiance with dim lighting and a very cool, upscale look and feel. I'd recommend this location specifically, or La Loma in general. Complimentary valet parking is also a nice bonus. Food Highlights: * Table salsa - leans heavily tomato-forward but tastes fresh and authentic. * Chile con queso - served sizzling on a skillet which makes for a nice presentation. It hit the spot but didn't knock my socks off. * Grilled skirt steak fajitas: For my main course, I ordered the grilled skirt steak fajitas cooked Medium rare (beef fajitas tend to be my go-to control dish when comparing Mexican restaurants). I was genuinely impressed with the quality of the steak. The fajitas were served with La Loma's Hatch green chile, which was excellent. It included pieces of pork and made a fantastic topping for the steak. The house-made flour and corn tortillas were also very good and rounded out the dish nicely. Overall, La Loma delivers strong flavors, quality ingredients, and an atmosphere that sets it apart. read more

La Loma - Grilled Skirt Steak Fajitas (Hatch Green Chile) - Mexican Near Me - Denver, Colorado

La Loma was a very cute restaurant with good vibes, kind staff, and quick service. My group started off with the queso and house salsa. The salsa itself was very mild with not much spice, but the group enjoyed the queso. While the menu had limited vegetarian options, the staff was very knowledgeable about what was vegetarian or not. I ended up getting the cheese and onion enchiladas which were very delicious. However, I could not get the green/ red chile or the rice that came with it as none of it was vegetarian friendly. Luckily, the enchilada sauce was made vegetarian and tasted amazing. My partner got the chicken enchiladas with rice and thoroughly enjoyed his meal. Overall, we will definitely be back. read more

We came in for an early dinner and everything about this experience was above and beyond. The restaurant is in a huge space that is beautiful, a small bar located on the first level and then a staircase to your dining on the second floor with an open air kitchen. This is a scratch kitchen and all of the food we had was top-notch, I would go so far as to say they are my favorite Mexican restaurant in the Denver area. Upon being seated, we were given chips and salsa, the chips, thin and crispy, and the salsa, just the right amount of spice and super flavorful. For my entrée, I had the green chili enchiladas and I substituted the corn tortilla for flour tortilla. The flour tortillas are made in house and brought the dish up in terms of deliciousness. The pork green chili is authentic and flavorful and I really enjoyed the refried beans. For a dessert, we shared a churro which was cooked to perfection with a crispy hot outside and a soft gooey inside. It was served with a hot chocolate dipping sauce. The portion sizes were huge, so great value for money and is located in McGregor Square in downtown Denver. Top-notch location with tons of walk capability and public transportation nearby. I will absolutely be back and already. I'm looking forward to when I get to dine here again. read more

We hosted our end-of-year company party at this location and have nothing but great things to say. We had a larger group and were able to book a private room, as well as bring in some of our own custom decorations, which made the space feel even more special. I worked directly with Brittney to coordinate the booking, and the entire experience was seamless from start to finish. The food was excellent, the drinks were great, and the service was outstanding. We truly could not have asked for a better event for our staff. Thank you, La Loma, for helping make it such a memorable evening! read more

Eric is a fantastic server! He gave us great service! La Loma is our favorite restaurant to come to when we are in mcgregor square! read more

We had a private group (30) luncheon here. Love the vibe, the brick, the natural gas sconce lighting, the beams in the ceiling, big windows, etc. The food was excellent, buffet style, fresh and delicious. The only downside was the Audio Visual equipment. Sound cutting in and out, the video running ahead of the sound, the screen arbitrarily going up and down, etc. I guess there's a ghost running the AV there. read more

Inside the entrance is a small waiting area with a bar - the perfect place for an adult beverage while you're waiting for a table. Thankfully, I came after the lunch rush, so I walked up the stairs where the magic happens. The menu features many of the usual suspects. My enchilada platter with green sauce - a recommendation from my server - was outstanding. Prices are a bit high - $31 for an enchilada platter, water and tip - but you are in downtown Denver. Service is prompt, polite and helpful. read more

I've been a huge fan of La Loma since I moved to Denver many years ago. I was worried that the recent upheaval in the Brinkerhoff family (the owners) would affect the restaurants, so my friend and I headed here to check things out. This place was originally opened by the Brinkerhoffs as a new, higher-end concept, "Caldero," in the huge McGregor Square complex next to the baseball stadium. We tried it when it first opened and thought the food was excellent. Mrs. Brinkerhoff was awarded this location in the divorce and immediately reverted to the La Loma name and concept. That was probably a good idea as La Loma is likely to be more appealing to the baseball and bar-hopping crowds attracted to this area. The Caldero decor has not been touched. You enter via a small door at ground level next to a small, outdoor patio and find yourself in a little bar. There's a huge, sweeping staircase or a stunning, copper-clad elevator to get to the main restaurant on the second floor. An enormous restaurant space occupies the upper level with an open kitchen and large, curved bar to your left and a huge dining area with many separate spaces to the right, including a large, glassed-in terrace that overlooks the McGregor Square central patio. The spaces are beautifully decorated and very comfortable with a good mix of booths and tables. The upper bar is in the rear of the left wing, by the kitchen, with a substantial amount of booth and table seating in front of it. This restaurant is one of the largest in town with seating for hundreds of people. My understanding is that it has been quite unprofitable. It is also hard to find, with a small, somewhat obscure entrance on the side of the building that gives no indication of the scope of the place. You can see the glassed-in terrace by the video screen from the McGregor Square plaza, but you can't access the restaurant from that side. So, what about the food? I have eaten in various La Loma locations dozens, if not hundreds of times. This was, without a doubt, the best La Loma meal I have ever had. Everything was absolutely fantastic. We started with house margaritas. You can optionally add one of five fruit flavors and we chose peach. These were fresh, delicious, and perfectly balanced. An excellent start to the meal along with the usual chips and salsa--also excellent with a nice bite and deep flavors. I ordered my usual, the Anniversary Plate: a stuffed sopapilla, chile relleno, and a chicken flauta with rice, guacamole, sour cream, and La Loma's special Hatch green chile. My friend went with the Chile Rellenos: roasted Anaheim green chiles with cheese, fried in a crispy shell, rice, beans, and a crock of the Hatch green chile. First of all, the portion size, unlike most restaurants these days, has exploded. The server was shocked that we ordered so much food--so were we when the enormous platters were presented. Each item was much larger than on meals past, along with generous portions of the side items. The green chile was amazing, a perfect consistency including large chunks of very tender pork and an intense depth of flavor. Definitely the best I have ever tasted. Each item was perfectly prepared and very flavorful. My friend agreed that this was food of exceptional quality, prepared with care. I ordered a side of guacamole which was also a generous portion, perfectly seasoned, and delicious. Our server seemed very new and somewhat tentative. He made several mistakes on our order. However, he immediately apologized, quickly corrected the issues, and gave us a substantial credit on the bill. The floor manager stopped by at once, without being asked, to ensure that everything was OK. This is extremely gracious service and hard to find these days. We enjoyed our experience tremendously and left staggering with a huge bag of leftovers. Even if you're already a La Loma fan, this location definitely needs a visit! read more

Really enjoyed this place, the food was excellent and a really nice environment. I had a chicken fajita which was cooked perfectly. We started with some guacamole which is some of the best I've had and ended with churros which were obviously freshly made as well. The ambience is really elevated for Mexican restaurant so it feels like a night owl. Service was very good, friendly and prompt read more

We went to La Loma for a friend's birthday. Getting there was a bit tricky. There was a Rockies game at the same time, so that made it more challenging. We walked so parking wasn't an issue, but getting to the restaurant was a bit tricky for us. The entrance is on Wazee to the right of the McGregor Square entrance. Other people in the party also had a little trouble getting in. Because we had a big party, our experience might be different from a table with a smaller amount of people. With that being said, our servers were amazing! We had two different servers that worked really well together. Though as expected, our food and drinks took a little long, but I think that was because of our party of about 17 people. So I do think mark that against them. We ordered maybe 6 or 7 pitchers of margaritas for the table and that worked perfectly. We were able to share them all and they were all tasty. I ordered chimichangas and as from the photo, you can tell they were delicious. My stomach was hungrier than my phone camera. They had the green chile on the side which I liked. My partner ordered the Mexico City Tacos, and they were fab. All in all, a great time was spent there. It was delicious and perfect for a birthday! read more

Although Caldera was a part of the La Loma family, bringing the traditional name to this restaurant is a favorable move. This La Loma is part of the larger La Loma family and its feels good inside. Warm. Cozy. Traditional. The exposed brick, original art work and copper surfaces make this feel like a place you can trust. Menu is solid and offers plenty of food and drink options to suit a wage range of tastes. We have been here many times and always experienced quality food, great service and an upscale vibe that feels like something great. Being adjacent to Coors Field and Union Station adds to the convenience. Tonight we were a group of six celebrating a birthday. The beauty of this restaurant is the size of the restaurant and its ability to seat you at the bar or in tables or booths from 2 to 20+. We had drinks, guacamole, tacos, fajitas, enchiladas, salads and lots of house chips. The red and green sauces are delicious and having your enchiladas dressed Christmas style gives you a sample of both sauces. Service is great. We were immediately welcomed and quickly sat at a booth for six. Attentive wait staff who were friendly and engaging and restaurant management who stopped by to make sure everything was as expected made us feel taken care of. Local Rockies management and staff filtered in to their special reserved seating at the bar followed by a steady flow of customers the entire time we were there. The overall experience is great and we will continue patronize and show our support for La Loma. read more

Food is great. Service is very professional and attentive. Love the atmosphere. Little pricey but seems everywhere is now days.

I'd never heard of La Loma until I came here for a work dinner and I'm so glad I did. We had a group of about 15 people and had no trouble getting seated (we did have reservations, but it didn't seem like it would've been an issue either way). The food was fantastic! highly recommend the brisket burrito and a margarita to go with it. My colleague had a steak fajitas and the meat was sizzling! Our server was attentive the entire evening, making sure drinks stayed full and everything ran smoothly for such a large group. I'll definitely be coming back soon for a date night with my partner. Pro tip: they can validate parking if you park at the Rally Hotel. read more

Get the green chili!! Absolutely the best I've had in a very long time. Service was good, the unfortunate thing is getting a "pitcher" of margaritas but it was filled with ice and not worth the price. read more

The ribeye steak was so delicious! I could cut it with a fork! Probably the best steak in Denver that I have had! The red chili was amazing! Being from New Mexico, I could taste the authenticity of the chili. Not from a can but homemade. It's convenient for lunch or dinner if you're going to the Rockies game. Get the Ribeye!!! read more

La Loma makes its way to Mcgregor square!!! I love the beautiful exposed brick, open air kitchen and copper accents all over the restaurant. Plus the patio area has an amazing view of the open area where folks hang out to watch games on the big TV. We had some absolutely amazing margaritas and the sampler style appetizer. The wonton wrapped chili rellenos are to die for!! My fajitas were fantastic and loved all the grilled onions and big bowl of green chili. The green chili is top tier and could eat it everyday. Highly recommend it!! The steak was a little under seasoned but considering we came in for their soft opening, I expect them to dial it in the next few weeks. Our server was very attentive and made sure our drinks and chips were always full. Even the manager stopped by to check in on us and everyone who dropped off food made sure we were all taken care of. Love the new space with all the old La Loma classics. Will be back and be sure to tell your friends because the venue is so beautiful!!! read more

La Loma - Grilled Shrimp and Enchilada. - Mexican Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Whether it's a date night or a holiday celebration, when my family visits Colorado, La Loma is always at the top of my list! For this visit, we switched it up and tried dishes we'd never had on their menu. As a starter, you absolutely cannot go wrong with the Chicken Nachos! As a true nacho fan, this is the way I want to eat nachos from now on! They layer six large corn tortillas with cheese, refried beans, and chicken, then top them with guacamole, sour cream, and jalapeño peppers. I loved that each bite had all the toppings--no leftover chips, just over-the-top flavor. Then we ordered specialties and an entrée from the grill... The Texas Platter features a New York Strip Steak topped with grilled onions and serranos. This mouthwatering combination really lets the meat and vegetables shine--paired with irresistible sides, black beans, and their classic green chili smothered relleno. Now let's talk about the Tequila Shrimp, served in one of the best sauces I've had, with the heat from the tequila-jalapeño butter shining through, and just the right amount of acidity. For cocktails, you can never go wrong with a Cadillac Margarita or Paloma - some of my favorite cocktails in Denver! Also great service, thanks Aaron for the great hospitality! read more

Food was great but a bit overpriced for a Mexican restaurant . Pretty good service, I'd come again sometime , nice location. A combination is one of the best choices I'd say (an enchilada and a chimichanga or chile relleno) or the fish tacos are delicious too. read more

Inside McGregor Square, you'll find La Loma, a two-story Mexican restaurant I've definitely been sleeping on. The vibes? So fun and welcoming. Great decor, fantastic service, and yes, the food delivers. Here's what I tried: * Chicken Flautas - perfectly crispy, seasoned well, and served with hatch green chile and guac * Grilled Steak Fajitas - sizzling, loaded with all the fixings, and totally hit the spot * Cadillac Margarita - smooth and classic * Paloma - refreshing, citrusy, and balanced * Chocolate Mud Pie - rich, chocolatey, and the best kind of indulgent I haven't ordered fajitas in forever, so I was especially excited and once the sizzle died down, those tacos I built? Chef's kiss. And don't skip the mud pie. Seriously. If you're looking for a fun spot downtown with solid food and drinks, La Loma is 100% worth the visit. read more

We love coming to La Loma. Food and service are always good! Jaylene in particular is amazing!

Great spot for lunch before a Rockies game or if you are downtown. The inside is really fancy and the service matches. The chicken fajitas were fantastic but the salsa was kind of spicy. Especially loved the green chile. Overall will come here again. read more

La Loma - Chicken Fajitas - Mexican Near Me - Denver, Colorado

It's been YEARS since I've been to a La Loma, and my first time at this location. Off the bat, it's HUGE and really nice inside. We sat at the bar as we went after a Rockies game specifically for the 50% margaritas which hit the spot! We then shared the combo appetizer but we didn't realized we ordered it during happy hour so it came with half the amount of food (& price), otherwise we probably would've gotten something else as we were going for more a shareable dish. Out of the 3 combo pieces, my favorite was the chile relleno, and my husband's was the chicken flauta, with our least favorite being the chicken fajita nacho as it was pretty plain. Chips and salsa were also bomb. read more

Pregame stop, a very short walk from Coors Field. There's a huge food court in the area - that's not it. The entrance is on Wazee. It's another repurposed building. It keeps a lot of the brick but that's about it. It modern, and has a more upscale look. Table tops & elevator interior are covered with it (or a reasonable copper facsimile). It was lunchtime and somewhat busy. Hostess station was upstairs. We were seated promptly and server was right behind with chips & salsa. Everything on the menu looked good. We ordered Carne Guisada plates. For me the carne guisada was overly salty. Now comes the true test of a restaurant. The manager came over, I explained the situation and without missing a beat said I'll bring over a menu. I ordered the Fish Tacos - which arrived in record time, were excellent, moist & flakey. Excellent food, great service & first class customer service - a perfect combination read more

Went to the McGregor Square location, we were staying at The Rally Hotel next door. First of all, disclaimer: this is -not- typically a vegetarian friendly restaurant. The sauces, rice, beans, etc. have a meat component to them. This was fine for my husband and kids who are carnivores and had steak fajitas (which they loved). However, my vegetarian self thought I wouldn't be able to dine here. The server completely made a new dish for me - enchiladas using their house salsa (instead of a meat-based sauce) with black beans instead of pinto. It was phenomenal. I was pleasantly surprised. Great food and great customer service. They gave my kids churros for treats too. Favorite restaurant during our vacation by far. read more

Formal Complaint Regarding Inappropriate Conduct by General Manager To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally complain about an extremely disturbing experience my friends and I had at La Loma during what was intended to be a pleasant Christmas dinner. There were six of us, all ladies from a book club, dining together. At the conclusion of our meal, when the check was presented, there was a $60 charge for a shot of tequila that immediately raised concern. I explained that I had ordered a gold shot of tequila, a step up from well . But the server brought me top-shelf tequila without clarification. Instead of resolving the issue calmly and professionally, the general manager, Sam, came to our table and began aggressively questioning me--asking repeatedly asking what I said to the waitress and what exactly I ordered and what exactly the waitress said. His tone was accusatory and confrontational. What should have been a simple discussion escalated into a very uncomfortable and upsetting situation. The manager stood over our table and stated that he would not leave and we as a group could not leave until he was paid essentially implying that we were attempting to walk out without paying. His behavior was intimidating and entirely inappropriate. Despite repeated requests from multiple members of our group for him to leave us alone, he refused. The situation became so distressing that several of the women spoke up loudly, telling him to stop and to step away. The incident worsened when I asked for a pen to write down his name. At that point, he threw his pen at me, an action witnessed by several people at the table. This behavior was shocking, unprofessional, and unacceptable for anyone--especially the general manager of a restaurant. What was meant to be a joyful holiday gathering turned into a humiliating and frightening experience. We left feeling upset, disrespected, and shaken. No guests should ever be treated in this manner. I am requesting that this incident be taken seriously, reviewed thoroughly, and addressed appropriately. I would appreciate a response outlining what steps will be taken to ensure this type of behavior does not happen to other patrons in the future. read more
