Average. The chimichanga was pretty good, but they just glopped the sour cream and guacamole on. Would assume it would have been on the side and just smothered in their tasty green chili. Kids meal is cheap, but my daughter only ate half of it. It comes with one side, but she wanted two. They didn't even offer to accommodate. Instead of rice, it came with runny beans in a bowl. I'll be back, but Tequila's is better - especially how they treat kids. read more

Las Potrancas - Chimichanga - Mexican Near Me - Arvada, Colorado

This place is awful. I couldn't even eat the breakfast burrito, and my kids refused to eat a quesadilla. It's all cheap, pre-made food. It's not worth the money or time to eat here! read more

We love love this place! Our favorite place to do Friday night Mexican! Yamie the bartender! She makes the best drinks ever and is so friendly! Keep up the great job you all do daily!! read more

Omg! Let me start off by saying....... Ugh. Ok, first time we came here ever. We were the only people in the place. I ordered green chili plate and BF got a combo plate with a burrito, enchilada and chili rellano. Food was just ok. The chili reminded me of a jar of 505 chili. So I ordered iced tea. It ended up being the fake canned ice tea. I tell waitress I want a Diet Coke instead. Ok. She brings me my Diet Coke. I go ahead and give her my credit card. I get the bill and she charged me for my iced tea and Diet Coke. Really? You get free refills there. Waitress says sorry but you switched to a different drink so I charge you. 2.75 a drink. So I payed 5.50 for a pop!!!!!! I'll never come back. The only good thing was the chips and salsa. I'm not happy at all. Never have I been charged an additional charge because my first drink was gross. Stay away! read more

Excellent. The food was of the highest quality. Such freshness. Whoever prepared my shrimp tacos is an amazing chef. ty

Las Potrancas has become one of our favorite spots. Service is friendly and fast. They always dote on our kids. Kids meals are $3.99 (cheap!). Even if they're busy, food comes out quickly. Margs are good- not too sweet- and the place is very clean. My faves are the Mazatlan burrito (with fish) and fiesta nachos. Hubs likes the Marlene combo. Chips and salsa are always fresh. Tuesdays are Mariachi Nights- and they take requests! read more

The waitresses got our food ready super fast, and the food was pretty good! I loved the salsa, but the steak fajitas could use a *little* more sabor. read more

I loved this place after coming for multiple visits. My wife and I came with a group of friends after telling them it was such a great place. They over charged us with double the orders. I was really disappointed and nobody from the restaurant would accept that it was wrong. So sad that it went this way but we will never go back. read more

Edited 6/24/18 My husband & I had become frequent patrons of the restaurant and had previously received wonderful service, good food & the Mariachi band was phenomenal! We'd been talking with friends how great this place was and finally were able to convince them to come out from Denver for dinner this week. I am embarrassed to have invited others to this establishment and be subjected to the way we were treated. Our waitress did not enter our orders correctly and we were overcharged for 3 margaritas - not a big deal, we requested they be removed from our tab when we reviewed the bill. The waitress and owner/manager would not have it. The owner was adamant that they never mess up and was unwilling to remove the items we did not order/receive/consume. Keep in mind the mistep was roughly $20 on a $180 tab for a large group of people. The lack of professionalism from the owner was incredible, and I've never experienced anything like it before. He would not give us an opportunity to discuss why/how the bill was incorrect, yet instead continued to say they never mess up orders and walked away shaking his hand in our faces. He then said," "don't pay then" or to "pay what you want and leave" and for us to leave & that they'd call the police and implied that we'd be arrested for contesting our service (aka walking on the bill he had instructed us not to pay). I'm at a loss how the owner of this establishment is able to act this way and maintain a business. It's a shame they've lost return customers over $20, when it could have been resolved so easily. We'll be avoiding this restaurant & instead find another local business to patron. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Taco Tuesday with skinny margs & Mariachi band never disappoints!! The service is fast & friendly, food & margs are delicious & the band is great! We found this gem a few weeks ago & have been almost weekly since! Highly recommend! read more

Nice cold beer and friendly waiter. Clean place. However, slow service and cold bland food. Nothing authentic with this food. I had fish tacos that tasted like hay (?). Lame salsa with the chips. read more

Finally. Three times is a charm- or Trice as Nice is what I should say. This poor place off of 64th and Simms has tried twice to open a Mexican restaurant and they have failed miserable. So we were a little hesitate to go try "one more." We walked in and were amazed at the "over haul" and work put in, that the previous two owners were dithering to do. The space was open, clean and of course, the walls were packed with hanging gaudy Tijuana type souvenirs. (This is a true staple and technical measuring stick to judge all Mexican Restaurant fare by. Look it up). First, it was busy (another good sign.) Second, Happy Hour starts at 2(pm). Third, three words: A. Tequila. Locker. You buy a bottle of Tequila, they store it in their locker and it's there for you every time you come in. The fresh salsa has a nice kick, there's an actual extra spicy green chile offering, and great flavors. But, before I carry on too much...I'll go back and offer a follow up. Just know this, fresh food, happy servers, clean, incredibly affordable a la carte pricing and the largest tequila selection in Arvada (yeah, that other Tequila Capital). read more

I really enjoy this place. Excellent choices of tequila!! My favorite is the mariachi band. I attend many Latino events in Denver and this band is always at them performing too! Arvada is fortunate to have them perform at Las Potrancas. The food is yummy, spicy, and made great every time! I'm also impressed with the service! Feels like my home when I'm there. read more

This is my favorite Mexican restaurant. It is so good. The food is always great. In the morning we have huveos, eggs beans rice smothered in green chili. It comes with a tortilla. It is so good. In the evening we have a Mazarin burrito with shrimp. This burrito is so big. It is filled with black beans vegetables like zucchini, peppers, onions, mushrooms and shrimp. Smothered with green chili topped with sour cream and guacamole. So good. The restaurant is clean. They are quick and service is always great read more

I have been a regular customer and this is perhaps my favorite standard Mexican resturants. The menu is extensive. The shrimp dishes are great. You can get a real Margarita, served with a shaker, like a martini. Friends from Boston and California find this a must hit when they visit. Service has always been good. Take out breakfast burritos are great and quick. read more

Two visits after my brutal review from a year ago, and this place has improved, but still has some glaring weaknesses. The green chili is really good and hot, and the meats are always very good. They are no longer skimping on the booze in their margaritas, and the drink prices and sizes are online with most Mexican restaurants. For some reason the tortillas for the tacos are always super greasy, and they always fall apart as a result of this. ¡That kind of sucks donkey balls (pelotas de burros, y mierda)! The rice and beans are atrocious, worst I've had anywhere. This place is very hit or miss on just about everything, so you should probably have dinner here three-times a week, or else, you rotten bastards (bastardos podridos, y mierda). read more

So good. We had to have breakfast and dinner here today. The wait staff is the best. Ask for Corina. read more

Beautiful restaurant, excellent food, but Taco Tuesday is even better with the marvelously talented Mariachis. You owe it to yourself to visit this place. read more

Las Potrancas - Highly talented and entertaining Mariachis at Las Potrancas Arvada - Mexican Near Me - Arvada, Colorado

The food is quite good at the west 64th location. However, the odor of cleaning solution is overpowering...from the moment we entered the front door and throughout our meal..which made our dining experience less than satisfactory. Our advise: delay mopping the floor until you are closed and all customers have departed. read more

I was blown away by how delicious this place was! I have been to many Mexican food places throughout Denver, and this place has by far been in my top 5! read more

Thoroughly enjoyed our meal and margaritas. Years ago tried the one on Wadsworth and didn't enjoy it at all. This location is bigger, food and drinks seemed better and the waiter was really friendly. Will definitely be back. We've been searching for a new good local mex place. read more

The prices at this second new location are all about two dollars MORE than the prices at the original one on about 66th and Wadsworth! The food is good, but why does the same restaurant but different location have more expensive prices?! I got ONE ala carte chile relleno at the 64th location ($3.50 at original location on Wads. Which I think is still pricey) and it was $5.50!!! For ONE!!! Sooooo not worth it! I will no longer go here cuz it is waaaaaaay too expensive!!! $5.50 for ONE chile relleno!!!! Rip off! I want to know know why the same restaurant in a diff local can charge $2 more for EVERYTHING on the menu?! read more

My husband and I went here with the in laws since they claim this is their favorite Mexican joint. I give this place 4 stars because the food was good and the service was also very pleasant! I had the chile rellenos, not the best I've had but the green chile smothered on it was quiet good and spicy! Their salsa also has a nice kick! They also offer a wide variety of tequila, even bottle service, so if you want your own personal bottle on hand. Plus if they don't have it they will order it to ensure they do have it for you next time! I would return to this place! read more

Excellent breakfast! Fresh ingredients made everything so flavorful and makes a world of difference in their food. Great food and great service from Jose Bueno! read more

So we had grown to like this restaurant for margaritas and food. There is limited Mexican restaurants in Arvada. Tonight has changed this restaurant as a option for my family. We showed up at 8:35 pm to eat. The hostess seated us and then makes it a point to say they close at 9? WTF. What does that mean? Will they seat us at now 8:40 and kick us out at 9? I asked her that? She now has made us feel unwelcomed and unsure what we can order and not order at this point. Anyone knows that is a rude comment to make to a customer who you are seating. Don't do the service then. The service was rushed the whole time we were there. I ordered desert to finish and he said "we don't have that" we are closed. Well why did you seat me?? If you give my family a rushed, half offered menu, and and unwelcomed feeling the whole dinner, please rethink sitting people at 8:35. Make your last table to be sat by 7:30 to be done by 9! The service hear is not worth any more visits. They will take your money but not service the experience:/. read more

I used to really enjoy their burritos until I pulled a cockroach out of it. Kinda ruined it for me

I would have rated them less. I had to order twice to eat once. Just because they have opened the inside seating should not mean take out orders should suffer. And the 2nd time I ordered the food was cold. How hard is it to may be fajitas and one crispy Chile Riano read more

Had an opportunity to check out Las Potrancas in Arvada West area, and was pleasantly surprised by the service and the flavor of this Mexican Restaurant's green chile and salsas. We were fortunate to catch the mariachi band, as we were finishing our meal, Tuesday evening. Make it a date to get in there around 5:30pm on Tuesday and have a very enjoyable atmosphere, service, and great Mexican food!! read more

Do yourself a favor and avoid this place, my experience here was terrible. I came here with four people and our entire order came out wrong. The server brought items out we did not order and then billed us for them. We asked the manger to remove the items and he refused. Seriously what type of place does this? Like the service the food was mediocre, it's sad when the best part of the meal are the free chips and salsa. We eat out a lot and like everyone else we've had good and bad experiences but this takes the cake for the worst restaurant I've been to. read more

Excellent food, great service and wonderful family atmosphere! The food comes out quick and hot. The portions are very large so consider that when ordering. read more

Ordered food from Grubhub and it was overpriced and HORRIBLE! My kids couldn't even eat their food. $100 to feed a family of 4 is OUTRAGEOUS! We will never go there or order again. Gross food. read more

We LOVE Mexican food. It's almost unnatural how much, honestly. And are crazy picky about it. This place nails it. Great, consistent, spicy green chili? Check. Fresh made tortillas? Yep. Perfectly marinated, seasoned and flavored meats? Absolutely! If you want great, authentic, fresh, delicious food, in an unassuming, quiet, mom and pop type place, then this is the place. Their beans and rice are fresh and delicious. They do delivery, and it is fast and still fresh and warm when you get it. The $2.35 breakfast burritos are an absolute steal. We've also done drive thru, which can be incredibly convenient when you want to be back home after a long day. read more

Bummed out. The service at the front ignored us and seemed like they didn't want to help in any way, why work a service job if you can't smile? Disappointed with the girls working the front. read more

This place used to be our favorite. We have been coming here for several years. It has been going down hill over the years and is at its lowest. Salsa taste rotten, service is slow and careless, food has lost its great flavor. The carnitas was fat only. These chefs seem to be a bit careless. We have been to many resteraunts since covid and this is the only only doing plastic forks still. Can you not keep it sanitary enough to use silverware? This place is officially gross! read more

I never review on here. I am very supportive of small businesses. But I was just on the phone making a to go order and after every time I ordered an item she kept saying anything else. I finally said I have a big order and she said well hurry up we are busy. We order here frequently but will never be ordering again. There is absolutely no reason to be so rude. read more

Wow this used to be a good restaurant I don't know what happened. Went there on Friday and had Teresa and she was terrible. She did not understand English so that was a problem. This is the second time in one week they got the breakfast wrong. Toast was hard as a rock and everything was overdone. Left something on the table and when I called to come pick it up they had thrown it away. Who does that. I will pass on going there again. There was one other customer in the restaurant and they got his food all wrong to. read more

The best Mexican restaurant in Arvada! We eat here every Tuesday evening for dinner. Food is great, atmosphere is clean and staff is very friendly! Tuesday evenings there is a live Mariachi Band, very talented, and fun!!! They will come around to each table for a song request! read more

The service is good, the salsa is fantastic. The food is fast and well prepared, and their green chile is gluten-free. I can get corn tortillas in place of flour, though most of the time I skip the tortillas altogether. The flan is also very, very good. This is my second favorite Mexican restaurant after Xicamiti. read more

Horrible service. This was second chance after a first bad experience. After 20 minutes a different waitress came to retake our order because the original waiter lost our order. It took another 20 minutes and absolutely no apology. Food is mediocre but service is terrible. Won't go back a third time. Did go back a third time because daughter wanted to go. Ordered breakfast burrito. Had to send it back, dint know what I got but no EGG or potato. Cheesy rice something read more

Two stars because the service was good; however, the corn tortilla tacos were extremely greasy. When we reported it to the manager, he pretty much told us that they had to be prepared that way. Unfortunately, we will not be going back. So disappointed! read more
