    First time here. Came on a Friday for lunch. The parking lot is large, so no problem finding a spot. We were welcomed in and seated. I was distracted by the person behind glass making the wonderful fresh tortillas. As homebrewers, my husband and I were interested in what their brew set up looked like. It was behind glass and visible from where we were seated. Always neat to see how a brewery is set up, no two are the same. Dulce took care of us. We started with chips and salsa. The chips were warm and the salsa was fresh with a nice kick. He got a taco plate with ground beef tacos, rice and beans. He paired that with the LDP IPA. He enjoyed his meal. I love Chile Rellenos, so that is what I chose for my lunch. It came smothered with their green chili and with some of those wonderful warm tortillas on the side. I paired mine with their Aqua Fresca, a slightly altered base of their Mexican Lager with the addition of Prickly Pear purée and Key Lime. It was refreshing and tasted like summer. I had half of my lunch to bring home with me. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The view from where we sat was beautiful.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would come back.

    Chicken mole

    I usually get the mole chicken and today was super soupy looking and didn't taste quite right. We have been coming more and more frequently and today was just okay. Might have to change what I order next time. Normally would rate this 5 stars

    The service is excellent, [[HIGHLIGHT]]the Ambiance is as if you are South of the Border[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] and our food was good. We ordered the Menudo, after taking a couple of bites we added the accompanying spices the Menudo tasted good. We are going to have to come back and sample the diner menu.

    Had our first visit to Los Dos Potrillos and a bit on the fence. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The staff is incredibly friendly and the building/views are beautiful![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's so nice, bright, and comfortable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I really liked getting to see their brewery set up as well.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food was just ok- I ordered the taquitos and my husband ordered some tacos. The chips and salsa were tasty. I ordered combo taquitos and they didn't come out correctly, but the staff was really great about fixing it for me. The taquitos were nice and crispy and I like that they came with green chili for dipping. My main concern was that the meat didn't have much flavor- not wrong per se, just not great. My husband felt the same about his tacos. I'm willing to come back and try something else on the menu as some things were pretty good but I don't know that I'd go out of my way to eat here.

    We arrived at noon for a weekday lunch. I had a huge combo plate that provided lots of yummy leftovers. The Castle Rock location is the fifth & newest to open. The other restaurant locations are in Centennial, Highlands Ranch, Parker & Denver. This is a family run business where everything is made from scratch. The restaurant was named after his (Jose Ramirez) two sons, it means two young horses. This lively restaurant is beautifully decorated with high ceilings & fantastic views. However, the place was very loud, it was difficult to hear one another in conversation. This restaurant even has an on-site brewery! Plus plenty of parking. We started with complimentary chips & salsa. The chips were good but need salt & the salsa was delicious. I had the combo #10 that included three items & I added a couple of tortillas to the meal for $2. The crispy Chile Relleno was cheesy & really crisp, it had a wonderful sauce. It was outstanding & my favorite. The smothered Beef & Bean Burrito was very good as well. The Cheese Enchilada was good, however I thought the sauce was too tomatoey. The service was great & it was a great meal!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Excellent date night spot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was a bit too loud out where we were seated but it got quieter when the crying screaming kids left.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It was busy for a Tuesday but we didn't mind waiting half an hour to get seated. The hostess at the front was very welcoming and nice and so was our server. I look forward to coming back and trying other things on their menu. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The outdoor view is very pretty and I'd like to come during the day time to see the view.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    We come here at least once every two weeks. Always have the best time! The staff, the food, the drinks are always on point and the restaurant is bustling. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Perfect ambiance for weekend vibes![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I am a regular for the house margarita with Tajín and Monterrey Chicken. If you are a queso lover, don't forget to add chorizo, you're welcome!!

    Second time to this location after the first time soon after their opening wasn't so good. It's a little crazy that they seem to always be busy. We showed up before 5 on a Saturday, and there was already a 30 min wait. We managed to find two seats at the bar, so we just did that rather than wait for a table. Service at the bar was a little hit or miss. We eventually ordered our drinks. I liked both porters, so I went with the Piper's, but could've gotten the coffee, while my daughter had a strawberry margarita. Beer was good; she liked her marg but wasn't sure it had much alcohol in it. We each got the combo chicken and steak fajitas, which were fairly large and very good. Tortillas and guacamole are good, but rice and beans are just fair. I'd definitely come back for the food; however, I wish the waits weren't as long and the service was a bit more attentive from the start.

    My second time back! Now that I know what to order, it's hard to have a bad experience here. My friend and I shared the Carne Asada burrito, which made for perfect portions! Even then, we still had leftovers. The chips and salsa are very filling!

    Very tasty, and I don't even really like Mexican food. The salsa has some dried chili flavors along with the fresh tomatoes.

It originally opened in Castle Rock back in 1996 before moving to Castle Pines, and it still feels like a true neighborhood institution. Be prepared to slow down a bit.

When we arrived, they weren't prepared and quickly pulled a table together but missed a chair and setup. This is simple but speaks to oversight and lack of attentiveness. After borrowing a chair from another table, our group sat down and no later than 30 seconds our server was asking what drinks we wanted to order. It would have been helpful to point out the drink menu or give a recommendation versus demanding to know what we wanted. The interior is noisy and covered in carpet. Over half of our orders came out wrong- wrong protein on the wrong plate with wrong side. And to top it all off, did the kitchen lose their seasoning rack? Nothing was seasoned. The steaks were a poor cut, overcooked, the poor vegetables looked like they were boiled and thrown in a serving bowl, and the baked potatoes were either straight up plain or obviously sitting under a heat lamp because the cheese was dried. I envisioned the kitchen cooking in silo, throwing their portions on a plate with no consideration of the whole meal. It's giving cafeteria food. When we go out, we measure quality by evaluating whether we could cook it as well at home. This failed by a significant margin. I'd love to support local restaurants but at this price point and lack of quality, we'll try elsewhere, anywhere but here.

We stopped in for brunch and everything we ordered was really good, but the Breakfast Hangover Burger completely stole the show for me. A burger topped with smoked ham, an over easy egg, avocado, American cheese, jalapeños, fried onion straws, and sriracha aioli sounds like someone lost a bet and just kept adding ingredients.

As I have the past several times here, I went with the egg and carnitas tacos. I added a side of fresh fruit...both the eggs and fruit were very good. As the Benedict my wife loved is no longer on the menu, she had the avocado toast with eggs. She added a large size of the breakfast potatoes and was glad she did. While she liked the taste of the avocado toast, she was very disappointed in the small size of the portion. She wish she had more. One daughter had the Mardi Gras omelette for the first time. While she liked the flavor, the fact that the ham was a full slice (lunchmeat style), as opposed to chunks or cubes, was weird...and required cutting with a knife. The other daughter tried the quiche for the first time and loved it. It is one of the better quiches around. Coffee is very good as well. Service was fine for the most part.
