A bunch of classmates talked up Los Cuates, so I decided to pay them a visit! It was quite empty during my random weekend lunch. It mostly seemed like one hard-working woman running the front and back of house, minus the cooks, so be patient. The chips and salsa were excellent. I enjoyed the Carne Asada Plate I ordered, especially the Carne Asada! The rice, beans, and guac were alright but paired well. I had enough for leftovers and overall would come back again for a comforting Mexican meal. read more

Absolutely delicious homemade Mexican! We had the chicken tacos, the pupusas (to die for) and huevos rancheros. Also took a couple dozen tamales to freeze for later. It seems like the place is run by one front of house guy and one chef in the back- both super kind. Will definitely be back! read more

Los Cuates Mexican Restaurant - Smothered Asada Burrito with Half Green Chile and Half Red Chili Peppers - Mexican Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Don't order from here. Their online ordering said they opened at 6 am. I ordered some breakfast burritos for work, the site said they would be ready by 6:15 am. I showed up and they were closed. The hours on their door also said 6am. When I called to get a refund I was told they would refund the money and they never did. Don't trust the online ordering or the staff!! read more

Los Cuates has the most delicious red chile! Be warned though because it will make you sweat!

Excellent chips and salsa! Nice quiet atmosphere. Great experience and food! Highly recommend. Great service also.

I love this place! The food is good and there is a great deal of variety for such a small place. First hear about Los Coates while donating blood at Vitalant and people were raving about their breakfast burritos which are great and delicious. Everything we have ordered has been delicious with just the right amount of spice. Staff are very friendly as well. read more

Excellent authentic Mexican, quick and delicious! My new neighborhood favorite. I'll be back soon.

Food is eatable. Service is not bad. Tips for myself：wont visit again, that's all. Food is eatable. Service is not bad. Tips for myself：wont visit again, that's all. read more

The food is really good and the people are very nice! We get the breakfast burritos for the office often.

Since discovering Los Cuates last winter, we have been there once to dine in and five times for takeout. I've recommended it to everyone I know on this side of town. TL:DR this is the best-priced and tastiest no-frills Mexican food I have found in Denver. You can pay a lot more for hipster ambiance and hit-or-miss attempts at being "contemporary" or "innovative," but I'll stick to Los Cuates. What's good? Cheese enchiladas with red--The red Chile is Hot and the closest thing to New Mexican I can ask for in Denver. They may try and talk you out of it like many Thai joints do. Don't listen. These are my favorite in Denver (Sorry, Santos) and at $7.99 with rice/beans, I don't expect a challenger. Asada--Grilled to bring the classic taste I expect, this goes well in tacos with cilantro/onion and in a smothered burrito with either the spicy red or tasty green Chile. Bonus: They merrily serve items Christmas to allow a celebration of both. Adobada--Less spicy than expected, but robust. Refried beans deliver legit flavor and fluffy, spicy rice usually comes with them. Bland they are not. Food is consistently ready in 10 minutes, whether dining in or picking up. The owner, "Papa," is friendly and has been in the biz for a long time, What's not good? TBD. We've liked everything so far. I look forward to trying breakfast, pupusas, and tamales (regular or Salvadoran) at some point, but those enchiladas are hard to resist. Five stars for taste, quality, and value. read more

I believe I found the unicorn awesome'hole in the wall Mexican restaurant'! I tried the beef enchiladas in red Chile with rice and beans. It was very tasty and tasted what I imagine good authentic Mexican fare would taste! The red Chile, even though they say its spicy, is very flavorfull and just the right amount of spicy! I have made red chile from scratch and I can tell what's good, and they red chili is awesome as many other Yelpers would attest! I can't wait to come back and try something else! read more

Los Cuates Mexican Restaurant - Cheese fries with Steak - Mexican Near Me - Denver, Colorado

The torta de asada made me want to run naked through the streets holding the Mexican flag. 10/10.

Ok yelpers, I'm gonna let you in on a little secret okay?? But you have to promise not to tell anyone about this place. Because when the rest of Denver finds out that this is some of the best Mexican food in town, more people are going to come here, there will be long wait for tables, and it'll be hard for me to find a seat. And wet can't have that. So keep it to yourself that the red chili is super delicious and super spicy and isn't an excellent accompaniment for the super delicious cheesy enchiladas. Also the asada burrito with green chili is to die for, and when people find out about it, they are going to want to come here in large groups and it will overpopulate the restaurant and again, it will make it difficult for me to find a table. So please feel free to try this place, but don't tell anyone about it! read more

Great place! My son loves the steak quesadillas and I love almost anything here lol. Also love their breakfast burritos... yummm!

This place is a diamond in the rough for real. Walked in and greeted and walked to our table Waiter friendly and gave his advise when asked about selections. Wifey got chicken enchiladas with a side of guacamole and she said it was amazing, salsa had flavor along with the food I got the taco plate with rice and beans along with some Horchata water with chips and salsa also all good Definitely a place to return to to pick up some food read more

Small store front with minimal seating. Hardly any parking and you'll pass it if you don't slow down and really look. Fresh made New Mexican and Arizona style Mexican food. They have a huge menu complete with breakfast, lunch and fresh juices with real fruit in them. Each of us ordered something different and no one had complaints. Not for the weak when it comes to spice level. I recommend getting the special drinks they serve up, especially in a hot day. The prices are right on for Mexican food. Service was fast and friendly. It was a nice change from the TexMex we're used to. read more

Los Cuates is the best Mexican restaurant in the area!!!The friendly staff here consistently serve high quality food QUICKLY and kindly. Their menu has plenty of options, but the chicken burrito I had today was a perfect choice!! Both of their chile options are phenomenal, and the employee taking my order recommended doing half and half which was a GREAT decision! I will definitely be making this a regular stop for a midday Mexican meal(: read more

This place is a gem. People don't know what they are missing. If you know you know. We stumbled upon this place in search of really good Mexican food since we are from San Diego. You can tell when food is home cooked & fresh. If you like Menudo, it was tender like butter & so mouthwatering. We'll be back on our next visit read more

Best red Chile and vegetarian green Chile! Reasonably priced, fast and easy and great service. Delicious pupusas. I love the breakfast too! Love it. read more

Tony and his family care such a great deal about making quality, good food. It has been his dream to own a restaurant his whole life and the man and his family work harder than I have seen any other staff work to make good, fresh, food and service. I mostly take out food but sometimes I visit the restaurant and enjoy the small cozy feel of it and its ambiance. Thanks Tony and fam for helping me survive my training years in my field and for never disappointing. I have been coming regularly for 4 years now. read more

Well, since I've spent so much time lately extolling the virtues of Taw Win, it's time to tell you about an equally enthralling experience conveniently right next door - namely, the Salvadoran and Mexican dishes on offer at the fairly new Los Cuates. "Hang on - they have Salvadoran food there too?", I hear you inquire (and very politely too, I might add). Yes they do - and the humble versions on offer at LC are truly the pride of El Pulgarcito. Have you ever tried a Pan con Pollo? I know, "bread with chicken" may not sound terribly exciting, but you'll find that these sumptuous sandwiches (generally offered at the weekend) are simply stuffed with pleasantly piquant poultry, offset with coolingly crisp cabbage, radish, and cucumber. LC has also been winning raves for their pupusas - but of course! - and I think you'll be impressed no matter whether your griddled cornmeal purse contains squash, shrimp, or pork/beans/cheese - to name but a few options. Or, what about a magnificently moist tamale, traditionally steamed in banana or plantain leaves and sold singly or by the dozen? As you can see, the eatery excels at a number of great Guanaco goodies so there's really no excuse not to try any or all of them out.... is there? But if you were in a more Mexican frame of mind today, don't worry, because I've enjoyed that section of the menu on my visits too. The burrito stuffed with chile-marinated pork (or rather, Carne Adobada) is huge! And luckily, it tastes just as good as it looks. Speaking of burritos, LC showcases a number of more breakfasty options you might like too, containing ham, hotdogs, chorizo.... Then again, a big bowl of the warming beef soup Caldo de Res is always a good choice when the weather's as unpredictable as it's been lately - especially when you consider that your selection comes with both rice and tortillas alongside. If you're particularly peckish, you can even snack on a whole fried fish (they do have a pre-filleted option as well, for those seeking something a bit lower-maintenance). Even the chile cheese fries are flavorful, whether you prefer green, red, or a bit of both. Add a cup of refreshing mango/pineapple water, and your lunch or dinner at LC is truly complete. read more

Very good, dependable Mexican. They have about 6 or so tables. Is mainly a take out joint with exceptional breakfast burritos served all day. Clean and friendly. read more

Service was great. Food tasted average. Then we felt gross for two days. Not sure what the good reviews are about.

Great value, very solid food, clean. It's become my go to Tex Mex place. Sauces are excellent. Love both the red and green chili sauce. Can't beat the Carne Asada plate. Way better quality meat than any other similar priced joints in the neighborhood. Give it a try! read more

Horribly disappointing experience. First time we tried this place, we thought it was just ok but came back a second time because the place is empty all the time and figured we'd give them our business. Well, probably a reason it's empty all the time. I ordered about $100 of to go including a pint of salsa and guac only to get home and they forgot to give us any chips. All the entrees ordered were ALL incorrect, of course discovered once we were home and hungry. It wasn't someone else's order as it was fajitas and pulpulsas but not the type we ordered. Both had incorrect proteins and and again, NO CHIPS when you've ordered an entire pint of salsa and guac! The food doesn't have much flavor either. We will never be back! read more
