This is my favorite Mexican restaurant in Denver. Food is always hot, quickly served (not as fast, understandably, during peak hours), the staff is friendly and accommodating. Recommend the Tacos Rancheros and the Tacos de Carnitas--I have a gluten allergy and can't eat stuff with wheat flour like fajitas, burritos, etc, but I'm sure they're fantastic too. The salsa is reason enough to try to marry into the family so I can learn the recipe. I will be back and will be recommending this joint to anybody who'll let me bend their ear. read more

My bf and I used to go here all the time. It was close and they used to have pitchers of margaritas for $15 during happy hour. But last time we were there, we were told that they had a new manager who got rid of the happy hour drink specials. Honestly, we have not been back since. As for the food, it's pretty hit or miss. Their carnitas are pretty good. The hard shell tacos get all soggy and fall about really quickly, and the guacamole tastes a bit off. They also charge $2.00 for a side of sour cream and then bring our an absolutely massive amount. Like, you're getting $2.00 worth, but there is no way that one normal person would eat all that. read more

Good service. I probably should not have ordered the chicharones burrito. It was very salty, greasy, and covered with some sort of over processed cheese. I could not eat it, and i was very hungry. read more

The food was lacking in flavor. not sure if quality has gone down since last time I visited but I remember it being better a few years ago.

I used to go this place very often with my Co workers. I tried many dishes and Pollo asado is my favorite. Never disappointed with service here but I have been to better Mexican restaurant in Denver. read more

After spending the day at Elitch Garden's my family and I decided to head to this restaurant considering the closer location is under construction. After all 15 of us was seated in the middle of the dinning room, our waitress finally took our drink order after about 10 minutes. Keep in mind, out of the 15, 8 were kids. As we sat and consumed all of the chips and salsa, we asked for a refill and it never came. We sat for up to 20 minutes watching the waitress dash in and out of the kitchen. During this time we also watched up to 5 different tables get seated, orders taken and food received and consumed before our waitress decided to stop by our table and take our order. After waiting for up to 30 minutes I approached who appeared to be the manager and made her aware of how displeased I was! FINALLY our waitress decided to take our order!!!!!! Yes - 45 MINUTES LATER!!!!!!!!!! Needless to say there was no compensation for this poor service. To matters worse, I had tried numerous times to contact the manager and discuss my displease with not only our waitress but the entire lack of service we received. I have been a loyal customer of this establishment before they branched out to having the number of locations they have now!!!! This is not the type of service that any customer whether it is their first time or 100th time eating at this restaurant! By the way the 2 STARS is a stretch!!!! read more

I have finally found a Mexican restaraunt that reminds me of the hole in the wall places of Texas. I now love this place. We tried a variety of food and it was ALL good. We were served within 5-10 minutes of ordering. BTW they make their bloody marries SPICY, AWESOME. I would have given 5 stars if the place had good customer service, but I was not looking for that, nor did I expect it. I was there for the food and it exceeded my expectations, prices were good and it was FAST. If you are looking for customer service and Caucasian waitresses, go to a major chain. read more

Vegetarians beware. Huevos Rancheros is covered with pork. It was speedy and you get super hot salsa to dip your chips into. It is fairly cheap but you're essentially eating fast food. read more

I am giving them three stars only because the service was good and I liked the salsa (that came out of a pitcher). I had just eaten tex mex in Texas and was being picky, but I just was not that thrilled with my steak tacos, and the tamale was dry and flavorless. If I go back, it will be for the margaritas, not the food. read more

We waited a long time to place our order. We also waited forever for our chips n salsa, when it came it was like someone poured the entire salt shaker in the salsa. It was gross. Waited forever to get new salsa. The food was bad, tortillas that came with our good was torn and hard. They were bottom of the barrel and old. Will never go back. I was being nice giving 2 stars. The waitress cussed in Spanish, I understood as I'm fluent. Bad just plain bad. read more

Steak fajitas were done perfectly and the salsa was good. Only done point was the server. She didn't smile and only came to the table once during the meal. read more

So good and so quick. Called for pick up and it was TEN minutes!! Unreal!! Always delicious food and most friendly staff.

I get there whenever I get a chance. No one I know, including myself, can honestly establish a reason of why they enjoy it. I personally believe they put crack in the food, and I am all for it. You'll love it or hate it. read more

STAY AWAY! Bad food. My chicken mole had literally COLD chicken swimming in lukewarm red sauce. Red mole? Not peanut or peanut butter based? No sesame seeds? I was literally ready to vomit when I spit out the first bite to see if it was bloody in the middle. Thankfully, it was not. But there was no way in hell I was going to send it back. The only good and safe reheated chicken is my leftover chicken right out of my fridge. Stay away from this place. Read the comments and see the trends. Bad food and bad service. But hey, it's cheap! STAY AWAY! read more

Loathsome. We went for lunch and ended up in hell. Bad food served by a gum-smacking waitress whose best attribute was that she obviously didn't give a damn what we thought of our dining experience. The Margarita was very green and tasted like it came from a can. They auctioned our food (there were two of us) and when we left the host just looked up at us and then looked back down at whatever it was he was reading. I am giving it two stars only for the comedic factor - it was so bad that we actually laughed about it after we left. The Riviera sign did bring back fond memories, though. read more

Worse service iv ever had , I am from New Mexico and moved to Denver a few years ago , Iv been trying different Mexican restaurants around Denver. I will not return here. I went to eat alone ,was seated and waited about 20 mins before any one helped me . then when I was done no one helped me for a long time i waited to see how the service was. I almost asked for the manager but ended up writing here better. The food was ok service was Very bad and one waitress was rude when I asked for ice tea. read more

The food is pretty good, it's not amazing but it's decent. Great place to grab a pitcher of beer.

I love this place. We moved out here, and found this gem. It has great food, awesome margaritas and it is fast, and the people are friendly. YUM! read more

I really hate to give bad reviews but the public has a right to know when they're being taken advantage of. This place has horrible food. I ordered the chicken flautas. They were literally served to me 5 minutes later. WARM NOT HOT. Not to mention the chicken on the inside was dry and had a fishy taste. The lighting was terrible. Then they had the nerve to tell you to look at their fish aquarium that was all scratched and foggy. The owners of this establishment need to go back to the drawing board before they get shut down. I wish I didn't even have to give them one star. They don't even deserve that. read more

I used to live several blocks away, so I've dined here numerous times over the past 3 & 1/2 years. It's was really nice to have somewhere to walk to where I could split a pitcher of margaritas with some friends and nobody had to drive. The margaritas were usually great! Once or twice they've been watered down though and once they were so sugary and syrupy I couldn't finish mine. The service used to be very bad. You'd get your little glass of water, chips & salsa, the waitress takes your order while staring down at you like you're wasting her time and you never see her again. A busser would bring out your food and you'll be really lucky if you get a refill on your chips & salsa or on your water. I noticed if you order alcohol, you get a little more attention, but not much. I recommend the chicken flautas, a chimichanga, the rellenos or a smothered chicken burrito. While I lived nearby, things changed dramatically. The service has VASTLY improved! We are now greeted with a smile, waters are refilled promptly, we are checked on regularly and the dining experience here is more enjoyable. We ate here a lot before moving away. If I'm ever in the neighborhood, I fully intend to stop by again! read more

Finally, a Mexican restaurant I can take the in-laws from Nebraska to. There's a pretty rad mural of a Mexican peon sitting against a cactus, taking a quick nap from being oppressed with his big, floppy, sombrero pulled down over his eyes. I can just imagine my in-laws from Nebraska - they're nice people, Norwegians, Methodists, participate in fun runs and radio call-in shows and all that - seeing that mural and nodding to themselves. "Nothing scary here, Barb. This is the Mexico I know, the Mexico from John Ford movies and Speedy Gonzalez cartoons. We'll be safe here, Barb. Oh, do stop crying. I'm sure we can get the chile on the side if it's too spicy." read more

Not really one of my favorite Mexican places in town. I simply do not like the food. I'm not saying the food is "bad" per se but just not something I enjoy. I've been coming here on and off for at least the last ten years, usually at the urging of someone else. Here's an example of what I don't like. On my most recent visit I had a combination platter that had a burrito, a taco and an enchilada. The burrito sauce (notice I did not say green chili) was overwhelming the entire plate such that the taco was soggy and the enchilada sauce (this is a special thing, right?) flavor was obliterated. Now, had this been a tasty pork green chili I would not have minded so much. But it's not, it's some odd brown gravy kind of thing with way too much salt that drowned the entire plate. The best part of the meal for me was the chips and salsa and even that was relatively weak. The service was fine, the seating area is fine and the location is decent. Short story for me, I just don't like the product they turn out, but clearly others do or they would not have been in business this long. There's no accounting for taste, I guess. read more

The food's not awful, but I certainly don't have cravings for it. The service is horrible. My boyfriend and I had a late lunch here one afternoon. There weren't that many customers, yet it took 10 minutes for our server to even acknowledge us. Look, I get it. I've worked in restaurants as a server for several years. Sometimes you can't get to a table to take drink or food orders right away, but you should ALWAYS walk by and nicely say "Hi, I'll be with you in a moment." We both ordered water to start with and those were quickly brought to us. I, however, made the "mistake" of also ordering a coke when I later ordered my meal. The waitress actually rolled her eyes at me! When we were finished with the meal, my boyfriend went to the restroom, so I asked the waitress for the check when she asked if we needed anything else. She said ok, yet she never brought it. Only when my boyfriend returned from the bathroom and he asked for the check did she finally bring it to us. So, after having our waitress roll her eyes at me and essentially ignoring my request, two very big mistakes on her part since I was the one paying for lunch that day, I actually left without leaving a tip. read more

Holy Guac! The several times I have been lunching at the bar or in the restaurant area...nothing to write home about. Not even a postcard. I love mexican food (which is why I attempted more than once...ol' benefit of doubt in play), but this stuff is too inconsistent. Consistency does shine through on their 'weak on the tequila' 'ritas and mediocre service. Yippee! read more

I discovered this restaurant about one month ago while searching for the old Riviera and have returned several times since. The food is always very good and in abundance , the service is outstanding in my opinion and the prices are very manageable. In fact I am going today for lunch 7/17/2013. read more

I just cant believe how people eat there and give the restaurant 5 stars. I will start saying that this is by far the worst "mexican" food I've ever eaten. The first time I tried it I ordered a smothered beef enchilada, the cheese looked greesy and so did the enchilada with the chile, it tasted so greasy and flavorless. My husband ordered a burrito and he also thought it was awful.Second time we went there I cant remember what I ordered all I know is that once again it was gross, super greasy and flavorless, my husband complained about his food too. And just to give them a last chance we went there for lunch and our waitress was so unfriendly that it was kinda annoying, this time I ordered a tostada and a tamale, the tostada wasnt bad actually as it wasnt really cooked, its just pretty much putting a bunch of tomatoe, lettuce and guac on a piece of fried flat tortilla, but the tamale was horrible, it was too dry and flavorless. My husband ordered a breakfast burrito and he said it was once again yucky.So, as a conclusion I would say stay away from this place, its disgusting read more

Super busy because it was Cinco de Mayo but the food was mediocre at best and the margaritas were weak. We even got the stronger pitcher for the second round and it was no different. Just a generic, low quality Mexican restaurant. read more

I usually have the enchiladas which are good. This place is too tex mex for me, but if someone invited me to lunch here I would not decline. The service is a bit slow.. one time I ordered a margarita here and a waitress almost snatched it out of my hands because she thought I was under age. I had to show ID again which I was ok with but was a bit annoyed. read more

My girlfriend and I have had the worst 24 hrs since leaving this establishment. Food poisoning is no fun, if you appreciate being healthy- avoid this place at all costs. read more

The food isn't bad, but there is room for improvement. My refried beans were bland however the rice and tacos were good. My wife and I use to go to a different Mexican restaurant up north however that place isn't as good as they use to be. The service was about average but the price is reasonable. I am still looking for a Mexican restaurant that offers more then Las Delicias. read more

this is comfort/hang over food, i never venture far from the the 3 bean burritos great for two people, or if i am real hungry the # 41 shredded Beef Chimichanga Smothered w/green chile, sour cream, guacamole, lettuce & tomato served, w/rice & beans (spicy). wish they had free refills for my tamarindo.... :P read more

I have been there 4 times this past 2 weeks. Tony the manager is polite, attentive and personable. I have only sat at the bar and whoever waits on me is always nice. The food has always been delicious. read more

Absolutely terrible!!! There is no cheese dip and I got chili rellenos which is hard to make disgusting...well they made it disgusting. Don't come here read more

After eating at Las Delicias, I was disappointed that I chose to spend my money here. My husband and I checked it out because it always looks crowded on the weekends. The atmosphere is like a cafeteria-- definitely leaves something to be desired. The food was second-rate, even for the reasonable prices-- again, like cafeteria food. They refill your salsa out of those pitchers used for syrup at IHOP. So tacky. I won't ever go back. read more

I've been to this location as well as the one near downtown on 19th many times. I moved from Denver to Seattle 3 years ago. I have been to numerous Mexican restaurants here and there are NONE that serve carne adobada/adovada. The closest I've found are carne adobada tacos at one place which were a huge disappointment. Surprisingly, most of the Mexican restaurants have never even heard of it. I dream about the carne adobada at Las Delicias. Last time I was in Denver it was the first restaurant I went to the day after I arrived and it was as good as I remember. I'm a true foodie and lived in Denver 26 years. If I had the money, I'd open a location in Seattle but I'd probably eat up all my profits. Savor your carne adobada and think of poor me. I only give it 4 stars because I never order anything but the carne adovada and for all I know the rest of the food doesn't measure up. But I doubt it.... read more

I've only been once, but thought the shrimp soup was really noteworthy. The soup has a wonderful, mildly spicy seafood broth and was chock-full of good-sized shrimp (maybe a little over a half-dollar in size) and crabmeat served in the shell. Also included red and green peppers, carrots, and onion, and served with flour tortillas. It was listed as a special, but the waitress said it served daily. A bowl was $12, which seemed on the high end for the menu. I think the other reviews are accurate about the atmosphere and drinks. Our waitress was very good - seemed like a pro - but I could see that service was lackluster at other tables. read more

Good Mexican food. I usually order the chicken fajitas. It comes with rice, beans, lots of fixings and is yummy. The service is always good. Friendly staff and fast. I would recommend it. read more

Been coming since there was Z-Brick all over the walls. The food is wonderful!!! - love the chili, and the guacamole salad I always order. Our wait persons are always polite, we are made to feel welcome. This is our go to Mexican food restaurant, and long may they be at this location. Oh, by the way, the prices are so reasonable, too. read more

I'm originally from Texas where the Mexican food is great, so I always have high expectations when eating it out here in CO. I chose this place for lunch and it wasn't crowded or high volume, it was actually quite relaxing. The waitress was fast on taking our orders and making sure we got our chips and drinks as fast as possible. The food was great and reminded me of home, I'd recommend this place to anyone. read more

The food and service were great! Everyone who I was with loved their meal and the server was so attentive and nice. They refilled everything almost immediately which is always good, I will definitely be coming back again! read more
