    $22 "vegetarian" fajitas
    Jason R.

    I'm extremely disappointed!! I have been looking forward to trying this place for a while now, but I always put it off due to the prices. They are pretty high. Tonight, I tried to give it a go, and I was totally let down.... The first problem is I ordered vegetarian fajitas... FOR $22!! Seeing that it was $22, I expected a beautiful, large portion of a nice variety of vegetables. Instead, I got a small pile of peppers onions and an equally small portion of steak. A small portion of refried beans and a clump of Spanish rice. No tortillas. There are no toppings for the fajitas, like lettuce, tomatos, sour cream, or anything. NOTHING. I also got a stuffed chili relleno. Which was actually a mushy chili with cheese and multiple stems inside. Dipped in bread crumbs and pan-fried. Then it's smothered in what I can only describe as marinara sauce. Basically, it's a chili patty parmesaen. The only reason I gave it 2 stars was because the service was quick and arrived faster than expected. With all of the other amazing mexican restaurants close by, I definitely will not be returning...

    I've been wanting to try this place for a while and finally got around to it. It did not disappoint! Although the menu had lots of great options I came for the Birria Gordita, it lived up to the hype I had heard. Excellent flavor, great portion, and lots of good salsas on the side. I'm stoked it's so close to me, I'll be back for more soon.

    Food was delicious. I order taco de chicharrón and taco de carnitas they were served up just right with tasty red and green. Also, ordered gordibuenas which are served birria style with consomé. Perfection. Service was friendly and helpful. They made me a delicious michelada. I would definitely return.

    The food was really good, my boyfriend and I wanted birra tacos so we saw this place on tik tok and decided to try it out lol. The service was also good, they were nice and can also speak english. It's a pretty bright pink inside and overall welcoming, although it's pretty hidden it's really good. Definitely recommend

    Carne Asada Plate
    Justin G.

    This is a good Mexican restaurant I have dined at in Northglenn back from June to August 2023. I ordered plates with shrimp and carne asada (chopped steak). The plates came with corn tortillas, refried beans, rice, shredded lettuce, and pico de gallo. I thought the chopped steak and shrimp were high quality, and I enjoyed their cooked-in sauces. The refried beans and rice were good. The corn tortillas were warm and fresh. The chips and salsa were good. However, I thought the guacamole could have been better. It had too much lime juice, cilantro, and tomatoes. It was also too loose. The service was good however. The food was delivered fast. The interior was like a bar with limited tables for dining. The place was pretty small. This is good Mexican food, but I have found better restaurants in other places. For the Denver area though, this is the best Mexican food I have eaten.

    Birria Taco is phenomenal, and came recommended by the host , perfectly cooked beef , melted cheese , onions , cilantro alone they are so tasty . Then you dip them into the consume Savory flavored soup with a hint of spice ! If you're local and you haven't tried , you are missing out . This is the local birria headquarters. And if you've never even had one Of these kind of tacos yet catch up , it's 2022 and this is your invite ! - @CallMeBroox

    A MUST! Authentic, Chic, Mexican hold in the wall. I wish I knew this place was here sooner! Food and beverages are great. Aguas weren't to my liking, but everything else was top quality. Generous portions. Smaller space, but it's worth it!

    There was a bug in my food placed an order through grub hub and when i opened the taco and was looking i was something that was clearly cut with a knife and cooked with the meat BEWARE

    I have been searching for good Mexican food since I moved to Colorado three years ago I'm originally from Texas and I've also live in California and I just know good mexican food and this place is it. I ordered the birria ramen which came with three crispy tacos filled with cheese for dunking in the soup. They were super delicious . I also ordered the birria tacos and the consumme was very flavorful the meat with seasoned perfectly as well. I also ordered a side of rice and beans, and that was literally the most flavorful rice and beans. I've tasted in a while. I highly recommend this place check it out! this is my new go to as far as the other reviews not sure what's going on there. this place also had Latin music playing on the speakers it definitely was a vibe in there.

    Gordibuenas
    Zoe K.

    Very unassuming, AMAZING spot. Tucked away in the corner of a shopping center, La Patrona is a secret joint for the BEST Mexican food in a subdued atmosphere. All the staff were incredibly kind, offered up recommendations, and ensured we had good service. The FOOD though IS NEXT LEVEL. My partner and I shared quesa birria tacos and gordibuenas - both with consomé. The portions are excellent! Free chips and salsa! Cant wait to go back and try their soups!

    Costillas con Verde
    Juan L.

    Decided to stop in at La Patrona after some raving reviews. The service was friendly but we had to wait a bit although they had some open tables. The ambiance was good but the music could have been a tad bit lower to talk to our people in the table. I believe they had staffing issues but the food did not disappoint. We ordered flautas, birria tacos, some margaritas, and costillitas en chile verde, YUM!!! Sooo good. Highly coming back to try the next item on the menu. Great staff!!!

    Birria Ramen & Birria Tacos

    I was looking for a local and really authentic Mexican food place to eat for my husband and I. We decided to give La Patrona a try. Although we were hesitant due to the location and the lack of cars outside, we gave it a chance! It was one of the best experiences we have ever had in the Denver area. The food was phenomenal, the service was top notch and the entire experience was very fast! I absolutely recommend their Birria combos! So so so good! We will be coming back again very soon! Especially for their mimosa towers!

    Quesa Birria Tacos 10/10 can't wait to go back!

I grabbed a seat at the bar where the bartender was friendly and engaging. On a recent Wednesday at 7:15, the restaurant was packed. When I left around 8:30, it was still busy. That's usually the best review a restaurant can get. Loyal customers don't keep coming back out of habit. They come back because it feels like home. The all-day happy hour margarita for $9 certainly doesn't hurt. The second one arrives before you've had time to argue yourself out of it. I ordered the enchiladas with carne asada and their house mole. If you're expecting one of those intensely complex moles with enough ingredients to fill a pantry, this isn't that. Adelitas' version is comforting, approachable, and deeply homey. It tastes less like a culinary experiment and more like something your abuela has been making for decades. The carne asada was tender, the rice and beans were exactly what they should be, and every bite reminded me why comfort food never goes out of style. Before leaving, I made the smartest decision of the evening. Tres leches to go. I devoured it later at home while Netflix asked if I was still watching. The cake somehow manages to be light while completely satisfying. Don't skip it. Better yet, don't pretend you're saving it for tomorrow. Adelitas isn't trying to impress you. It's trying to feed you well, welcome you warmly, and send you home happier than when you arrived. Whether your abuela was Mexican...or Greek...you'll understand exactly what they're serving here.

Happy hour is from 4-6 every day and the deals are great. The quesabirria and the camarones al aljillo were delicious. I have been here before for their molcajetes and those were excellent as well, and good for sharing. They do have a small covered patio area which is adjacent a busy street. Service is consistently good. One of my favorite places for a drink and a bite in the area!

Ni tuyo means not yours. Experience ni tuyo. Pork belly tacos were insanely good. Also the rib molcajete. Those two items stood out. They feature original cocktails, thoughtfully invented. Some of them blow my mind, some of them I didn't think worked very well for my preference, but all of them were unique. I value this uniqueness. Don't get for about mezcal Wednesdays. A great way to leave your comfort zone and try whatever they are featuring for a reduced price. Their variety of curated mezcal is a great way to start and make progress on your mezcal journey. There is such a variety of mezcal that I believe there is something for almost everyone. Put your trust in their bartenders to guide you on the different styles and flavors. And finally, they are a huge part of the Colorado agave collective. Monthly agave tasting. The best way to learn and appreciate.

We ordered the chips and salsa trio to start, quesabirria, chicken and steak fajitas with corn equites and rice/beans as a side, and lastly the carnitas. Personally I got the carnitas and was shocked at the portion! The presentation was beautiful and overall it was quite tasty. The hard part with this meal was that the black bean puree was underneath all the meat and au jus so it was a bit challenging to scoop up and put in the tacos. Everyone enjoyed their meals and we were pretty stuffed that we couldn't make it to dessert.
