La Pasadita Inn is a small Mexican restaurant at the Park Ave intersection close to what people call "The UnSafeway." I had the opportunity to go on whim and crash friend's dinner. If you are looking for a cheap eat; especially after some day drinking, this will do. It's small, but there is room to move around. I got the two taco meal which comes with beans and rice. The salsa has a nice heat to it which I appreciate. The homemade fried shell has a nice crunch to it. The stars say three but technically it's a 3.75. You'll be full and the staff is really nice. Overall, if you're looking for a cheap eat it's a decent spot. read more

La Pasadita Inn - Two taco meal with ground beef - Mexican Near Me - Denver, Colorado

I've always seen the quaint building on this concrete island on Park and 20th. Finally made time and effort to check it out and I'm so glad I did! Small family run restaurant. Parking was a little tricky, but we found a spot across the street when that business was closed. To start we ordered a carafe of margaritas for $20! What a deal, it served 4 drinks! It was decent and on the stronger side. For food, we got a Tacos Plate, Taco and Enchilada Plate, and a Tamales Plate. I like the fact that you can mix and match. It's great for someone like me who craves different things at the same time. Everything was delicious! We also ordered Flan and Churros to round it out for dessert. The Churros were so so good. And I loved the Flan! Would definitely come back again! read more

Tasty! Got enchiladas to go for lunch while I was in the area. They came out piping hot and were filled with pulled chicken. The sauce was flavorful without being overpowering. The rice and refried beans were a bit salty/not the healthy sort of rice and beans but this seems to be more of a place for comfort food than anything else. No-nonsense service and a warm, cozy environment especially good for a meal in the winter. read more

La Pasadita Inn - 2 chicken enchiladas plate - Mexican Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Small little restaurant. Parking is very challenging. I ordered 2 Cheese Enchiladas and a Beef Taco. The Taco meat was extremely salty, but otherwise ok. The Cheese Enchiladas were tasty, along with the Refried Beans. The waiter was extremely helpful. read more

The first thing I'm going to tell you is that all the pictures of the menu are terribly out of date. The margarita was incredibly small for 10.99. I had a Chile Relleno which was an Anaheim not a poblano. And a taco.. it was 15. 99. The flavor of everything was adequate certainly not outstanding. I would probably not come here again. That being said, I did eat it all. read more

My favorite go-to restaurant for Mexican food. It's simple, tasty and affordable. I love the red enchilada sauce. It's my Chihuahua on Park Avenue. read more

Real authentic Mexican food. Yummy, simple, and fairly priced. It's a small restaurant, that is cute and clean. The crunchy ground beef taco was perfection, as was the soft chile relleno. My daughter ordered the smothered sopapila, and my husband ordered the #11, a crispy taco and a chicken enchilada. Every bite was excellent, but the green sauce was the best I have ever had. La Pasadita reminds of the small establishments in California that served the best food around. We will be back. read more

Awesome food and service. Pitcher of margs for $20? Also awesome. This is turning into a new go to spot for me

This little hole in the wall is right in my neighborhood. Finally went a few weeks ago. We tried multiple al la carte items and they were all amazing. Truly authentic. Service was quick and friendly. They hand write their checks which I think is so nostalgic and nice in today's times where everything is digital. Will definitely be back! read more

this place is simply unreal. i've been back 6 times for takeout since i discovered it, the shredded beef tacos are incredible. great patio if you want to dine in, and they are always nice when i pick up! read more

Awesome little neighborhood Mexican restaurant! They serve good margaritas, and a good variety of both American and Mexican beers! Service was very friendly kids staff making jokes about the 1970s model TV. They have still mounted above the register. Will definitely be back!!!!! read more

Yay for this place! Only took us 9 years to finally find good Mexican in Denver (California Mexican style). Very reasonably priced. Ground beef hard shell taco was great as was the chx enchilada. Chips and salsa were fresh. Verde sauce was awesome. Marg was good. Will be back for sure! read more

What a delicious "hole in the wall" Mexican spot. It's a tiny spot but in a really cool building with a nice little outdoor area. We decided to eat outside since the weather was so nice. All the wait staff were super nice and attentive. They also taught our little one how to say hola which was super sweet of them to interact with her! The food hit the spot and their margaritas were nice and strong! We'll for sure be back because of the kind staff, tasty food, and great prices! read more

Delicious food! Stuffed sopapilla is the best. The server was amazing. Love this spot everything we've eaten has been delicious

Great longstanding family Mexican food in Denver. My go-to for best green chili anywhere in Colorado.

Yes, yes, and YES!!!! I drive by here all the time and never stop and I'm so glad I did. The best way to describe its authenticity is that you're in someone's kitchen and they are cooking for you. Love love love them!! 500 stars!! read more

Strolled by here a few days ago, while discovering our new neighborhood. Decided to come back and try it out after it was recommended by someone living across the street. Really love the quaint interior with very authentic feel. The service was satisfactory without complaints. We ordered a couple of margaritas, which were fine. The menu is full of authentic entrees, but I decided on the Shredded Beef Chimichanga. I actually enjoyed it thoroughly. The meat was super tender and flavorful with the shell nice and crispy. It doesn't come with any sides, but that didn't matter, the thing was giant, satisfying my generous appetite. I think the best thing about this place is the combination of delicious food and the value they offer. I don't recall spending less than $50 with tip for two entrees and two drinks anywhere in recent times. read more

Five for the location. Three for my dish Steak Ranchero. It boasted of chunks of meat. Nope. Tiny pieces maybe. Main thing is it lacked seasoning. The little tiny bowl that the "chunks" of steak came in was watered down -it was tasteless!! The tortilla had more flavor. The cuteness factor was 5. Totally! We had high hopes walking by the other day. So today we stopped by for early dinner. Their Frozen Strawberry Margarita was their saving grace. Service was polite and fast. Adam D liked his Chimichanga. Patio for those sunny days! read more

My wife and I have driven past this spot a few times and tonight we finally tried it! Lots of outdoors seating and a smaller area indoors. Several families and couples. This place is amazing. The food was really really good and I had a good margarita as well. I had ground beef enchiladas (2). As a couple was leaving they told us that they'd been going there for years and that everything they've ever ordered has been amazing... well so far I'm 1/1 on a delicious meal! My wife had floutas and she said they were really good! They also made my daughter a kids quesadilla which she inhaled! Will have to keep going to back to try more plates!! read more

We visit Denver often these days to visit family so we have eaten here at least four times since my last review. I guess because this is a family run spot the food and service never miss. Everything is consistently delicious!!! We will keep coming back for that yummy green sauce and house made salsa!! read more

This place is fantastic. Food was so good. The green chili is so tasty. It's a small local place and I will be back!

Fantastic food. This place is one of the few places I would recommend to anyone visiting Denver. The owner is extremely nice. I love this place. read more

Our server was nice but I would've rather spent my $75 at taco bell. There's 10 other amazing Mexican restaurants on the block, don't waste your time here read more

such a sweet place - AMAZINGGG nachos and enchiladas. muy rico con mucho sabor la verdad!

Best smothered burritos in town this olscecsets the standard for flavor. Not fancy not expensive it's just good. I was stoked it survived covid. But family ran. Cool patio for evening people watching. You'll get your food pretty fast and the Srvers don't make mistakes it's not like 22 different combos it's burritos tacos enchiladas rellenos and tamales. So yummy read more

Love this local restaurant. Good food at a reasonable price. We need more places like this in town.

I've always wanted to try this place! It's in such a fun spot and I hope it stays there forever. A teeny place with what feels like family cooking you a meal. All of the staff were lovely, attentive and quiet. Only came around when needed and at the perfect times. Very respectful. The food was out in what seemed like 60 seconds and was HOT and FRESH. So good. The ground beef taco and the chicken enchilada were so good. I will definitely be back. Can't wait to sit on the patio in summer. read more

Bean and Pork Burrito was a fantastic value. The chunks of pork were just OK, but the flavors of everything really came together well, and it was a ton of food for the money. I asked them to add rice--not sure if that was an upcharge or not, but probably was, so I think it was about $9. But it was a lot of food. Tamale was OK. It has a little shredded pork in it, which was a nice touch. Not the most nuanced or robust flavors. Chile Relleno was pretty good, and I had it as carry out, which is challenging, especially in the winter. I bet there are some other gems on the menu, and would be interested in returning. read more

Great Mexican food. I hadn't been there in several years. Forgot how good it is. Very authentic. Even the tamales are made in house. I'll be back more often. Tiny place but great food. Service was excellent and very reasonable. Will actually make the trip from Boulder to bring my wife back here. read more

I have been here a handful of times and finally writing a review. This is one of the most affordable and delicious Mexican spots in town. I got the #4 (two enchiladas with rice and beans) I opted to get the ground beef as my protein choice. And I also ordered two Coronas over the course of my meal. My total was $22.95 a fantastic price in my opinion. Chips and salsa come free and they served my bottled Corona with a glass! Sorry for the lack of pictures. Every time I'm here I eat my food far too fast to remember to take a photo! The staff is always friendly and the food comes out incredibly quick. The only thing stopping this from being a 5 star review is that their house margarita is pre mixed and not made in house. As a margarita enthusiast, store bought margarita mix is the worst! Overall great staff, service, food, and price point! read more

Extremely delicious, kind service, and affordable - we both really enjoyed our meals. The salsa is delicious with a nice heat. The green chili was phenomenal - a must try here! read more

La Pasadita Inn - Chicken chimichanga && free chips n salsa ! - Mexican Near Me - Denver, Colorado

This is a cute little space that feels like a throw back to at least a couple decades ago. I came at 11:30 a.m. and the restaurant was over half full already. The chips and salsa arrived almost as soon as I sat down which I love. The chips were the perfect amount of salty and the salsa had just a hint of heat to it. I had pre-looked at the menu and knew I wanted the soft chili relleno plate that came with beans and rice. I also ordered an enchilada and tamale plate to go for my husband and a co-worker. The rellenos came out quite quickly and I dove right in. The beans and rice were delicious and I scooped them up with the chips. The rellenos themselves tasted a bit like there was lard or some other pork nuance; I might be mis-identifying the flavor but it wasn't typical for rellenos I've had before. The cheese was also not as hot as I typically like it but overall these were decent rellenos and filled me up. Service was quick and friendly and this is a great neighborhood option. read more

OK, people, you can still get dinner for under 10 dollars here! The price is not a reflection of quality, which is great. This place is the winner for neighborhoid Mexican joint. Chips: Typical thin restaurant chips. Salsa: Perfect flavor and heat, even though it is a little thin. Green chili: Now tied for number one in town. Beans and rice are both delicious enough that I'd be pretty content with that and a few tortillas. They do a crunchy taco from a house made shell made from a real tortilla. Tasty. Enciladas are delish, in red chili or green. The tamale plate with green salsa is my favorite dish right now. You can enjoy a cold beer or a margarita with your meal, but that's it for booze. The place is tiny. Can maybe host 20 total diners at a time. The decor is dated and casual, but there are linen napkins and tablecloths. read more
