We ended up sitting at the bar and Mason took excellent care of us. We did the margarita tower, taco salad and the barbacoa enchiladas. Everything was delicious. We will definitely be back! read more

Amazing food amazing service and just a all around great place to eat. Don't listen to the bad reviews

My love languages are tacos, beer and french fries. But I am willing to sub for tacos, tequila and chips. Anything new that opens in the south suburban area is going to have a great buzz. So if you venture here in the next 90 days, try to exercise some patience with that appetite and curiosity. We braved a Saturday night and yes, it was the much anticipated and expected wait time of over two hours. Was it worth it? You bet. It's why I am penning this review. After being only open a week, I gotta hand it to the staff at Los Dos Potrillos. Every staff member, from Garrett the host to Ben the bar lead with his crew of Leah, Josh and the bar backs, they all kept their composure despite the swarm of anxious and thirsty hangry patrons. Perhaps that's why they have such a following. Or why they have so many locations. But this is my favorite one. I love the clean minimalist decor. The two horse heads apparently represent the sons. I like that it wasn't an overkill of Mexican or Spanish theme. The bar area is much larger than their other locations and the wrap around patio will be enticing and inviting come spring and sundress weather. Fantastic drink menu and the house margarita does not disappoint. Apparently the only thing I photographed. Definitely a fan of the chips and house salsa. Finally, a place that serves one that isn't mild or bland. Had the tacos al carbon and also street tacos with half steak and half adobada. Will be back for the molcajete, green chile, pozole and dessert. Here's why it is one star short. The tableside guacamole was not prepared tableside. It lacked flavor in both salt and spice. And it was served up with the crankiest grunt. He's the anomaly to the rest of the team and needs to learn to be a team player. Also fair warning, if you end up waiting, you will end up leaving smelling like garlicky charred onions. I had to do an entire load of laundry of my dinner outfit to rid of the scent. I came. I saw. Felt the energy. So I stayed. I will also be back again. Congratulations Los Dos Potrillos for setting the standard high and providing what this area needs! read more

Los Dos Potrillos - My love languages only consists of tacos, tequila and chips. It's love at first sight here. - Mexican Near Me - Castle Rock, Colorado

So very unimpressed! Shrimp dish with rice and salad... a plate full of nasty iceberg lettuce and fast food packets of dressing- even after asking for oil and vinegar... and when they say salad they mean just a pile of iceberg including the brown edged cores... waiter could care less... oh well - what you don't like iceberg???? So I paid $24 for 7 shrimp... Will not be back read more

Beautiful and large restaurant with huge glass windows overlooking CR to the West. The top shelf margaritas were very good. I had a beer made by Launchpad. My wife enjoyed the terrific enchiladas verdes. I enjoyed one of them too. I had the Chile Relleno taco combination plate. It was OK. It might have been better. The rellenos were the soft type, which is what I grew up on. I always try to get them soft not rolled & fried like a chimichanga. The sauce was delicious and I might have liked the rellenos better had they been hot. I think they are premade and the insides were not very warm and were like a patty of cheese. I didn't complain. So I would just recommend ordering them well done! read more

Absolutely wonderful. We had an 80th birthday party for my Mother at the Denver location. From reserving the back room space with Arturo, to the day of the party and being served by Carlos and the team, the day will be very memorable for many years. Serving 30 people at one time is not easy, but the Los Dos team made it seem effortless with all of the meals being hot and tasty. The salsa is the best with it's subtle hint of pepper, the margaritas add the right touch to finish the flavor. Thank you all! read more

Great addition to Castle rock! Kid friendly, great view, awesome margaritas. Went on Sunday after church, 1 hour wait but that was expected- so we put our name in and went shopping at Sierra while we waited for a text. My favorites- the Mercedes margarita- $26 because it has 1942 - lime & agave - so clean and so dangerously good- Also the Table side guacamole- best guac I've had ever- And I've eaten a lot of guac by the spoonful while pregnant... We went not spicy for the guac so the kids could share and it was fun to watch the server make it. The bowl was huge but the 4 of us managed to eat all of it. Last fav the molcajete- cheese, charred catcus , steak and shrimp all bubbly together with slight spicy goodness in a volcano bowl... sooooo good. My son got the chicken quesadilla and the chicken itself was so tasty and flavorful. It was really big too. My daughter had a cheeseburger and fries - great choice for a non Mexican food loving kid. Bonus was crayons to color for her. I had the steak fajitas- they were ok- the steak was a little fatty and could use more flavor- I like La loma's better. But the price here is way better. The refried beans were delicious and the onions and peppers. Our server was very busy but very kind and always kept an eye out for us even though he was running around. I can't wait to go back. My husband and I want to go on a date night to get the guac and splurge again on the Mercedes margaritas. read more

It was a busy night so we definitely gave them some grace. We were told 45 min and were seated in just over 30. We ordered our drinks and an appetizer. The appetizer came out relatively fast (although I'm pretty sure we received the table next to us because they order first and ours came out first) the drinks were very slow. We got the peach margarita first and would not order that again.. the tequila was kerosene. The chili relleno nachos were the best part of the meal and were very good! Our meals came next... the fish/shrimp tacos were good. The seafood tasted fresh. There was good amount of seafood as well. Lacked a bit of flavor but they were okay. The enchilada was nothing special and the chicken was pretty flavorless. The taco was a premade shell and the ground beef was not good in our opinion. The chili relleno was of course tasty. Midway through the meal the other margarita arrived and it was good. The server was friendly and helpful and as quick as she could be (4 tables sat at the same time) considering the delay at the bar (which was also packed with people waiting). Loved the interior and the patio area where we sat had roll up windows that I imagine is wonderful when it's not snowy. We know they are working out all the kinks so we will try them again once the newness wears off. read more

There are a few Los Dos locations around the south Denver suburbs that range from old school tex-mex decor, to a more modern trendy location in High Lands Ranch, to the even more upscale micro brewery location here in Castle Rock. FANTASTIC flavors. Possibly the best salsa in town ( no offence Santiago's - I still love your salsa!) . A warning to Texans and midwesterners- the flavors may be a bit spicy for you- maybe you can ask for mild or something. I wish there was a locals discount because we go here too often now. I feel like it's a point of pride now that two Mexican upscale restaurants can operate just across the street from each other. Great views, great place to take visitors from out of town. I just love this place. Unusually good service here ranking at levels you normally only see in the South East of the U.S. If you have not picked up on the fact that Colorado cuisine is Mexican with a heavy use of Green Chili - maybe you should move back to Iowa. Oh yeah, their green chili is bomb AF. read more

My husband and I came in around 6:40 after seeing a sign that they close at 7:30 due to weather. There were still people at the bar and guests being seated, so clearly they were still open. When we were taken to our table (among many other cleared tables nearby), it was completely covered in cleaning supplies such as buckets, sprays, paper towels, trays, everything. The hostess sarcastically said, "Oops, didn't see that there," as she walked away and all while a group of staff from the front followed us and stood there watching and laughing. It was humiliating and incredibly unprofessional. We were made to feel like an inconvenience for walking in nearly an hour before closing. If you don't want customers, don't seat them but don't mock them. Absolutely disappointing experience. read more

It was hard for me to give this review as I am a die hard Los dos lover. I love the location and ambiance as we entered. We let the bartenders know we wanted to sit outside , after 10 minutes still nobody came with menus or checked on us. We then decided to sit at the bar as we felt we were being ignored even with making several attempts for eye contact. And this was at 3 pm on a Monday afternoon so not at the rush of dinner or lunch. Had to ask for refills which was another reason for the 3 star review. Also the amount of mini taquitos for the price is also ridiculous. Bartender did make me a delicious Margarita Mocktail so that was a plus .Food was good as always wish it was a bit warmer. read more

I've dined at Los Dos Portillos before and had a great experience, but the Castle Rock location was a major disappointment. I ordered the carne asada, which was dry and completely lacking in flavor. On a more positive note, the queso was delicious. However, we quickly ran out of chips and salsa. Our waitress asked if we wanted more, and we said yes. We had just received the queso and needed something to enjoy it with. Unfortunately, we waited a very long time with no sign of our server. We eventually had to flag down another staff member to ask where she had gone. Other nearby tables even noticed how long we had been waiting. By the time our waitress finally returned, we had already finished our meal. I asked if we could get the chips and salsa to go, since we never got the refill. She said okay, but then attempted to charge us an extra $15 for it. I explained that it didn't feel right to pay extra when she hadn't returned to refill them in the first place. She said she'd check with her manager, but we never got to speak with the manager directly. She removed the charge but ultimately sent us home without the chips and salsa. To top it all off, I didn't even finish my carne asada it was that bad. read more

Service great, wonderful views. Food very good, but not quite as good as their original location in Centennial.

Had dinner here while visiting friends in castle rock. We had a short wait but were able to get a drink from the bar and sit on one of the couches. Once we were seated we ordered the patron tower and I went with the tacos Al carbon and the rest of our table had the steak fajitas. Our server was GREAT - so friendly and funny. The patron tower was awesome and the food was good! I would go back! read more

First thing, this place gets BUSY but looks huge so not sure how long people were waiting by the time we left. We did the margarita flight and the strawberry basil one was our favorite. We sat at the bar and watched them prepping fresh fruit for all of their drinks which was awesome! Everyone was so attentive and nice and giving great recommendations. The salsa was spicy so just a heads up. The queso was so delicious and a huge bowl of it which was refreshing! I got the ribeye and shrimp. The server made sure to tell me the ribeye is usually spicy and they could make it mild. Thank goodness and it was really good! I got it medium rare and I'd say it came out rare at first. We weren't in a hurry and knew the meat was going to be good regardless so I asked them to cook mine a little longer. They were so nice about it! It came out perfect after they cooked it a little longer. My husband got the carne en su jugo which was a beef stew of some sort. It was way too spicy for me but my husband loved it and it was a huge portion! We will totally be back to try so many other things on menu including drinks and way more queso! Also, the views were stunning! This place would be great in the spring with a huge outdoor seating area too. read more

I love this place. I usually never repeat orders at restaurants but had to this time... get the guisado. Their jalapeños have the perfect amount of flavor and spice. Strawberry basil margarita? I should have ordered more than one. The view is beautiful and the entire staff is friendly and personable! read more

Remove this from your menu. This is just canned green chiles. Cheese was not melted. This is definitely an Americanized item that should not be served at a Mexican restaurant. It is blasphemy to have Chile relleno in the name. read more

This place makes me laugh with its cult following, but we do like it. They did an awesome job when they designed this place. They took a middle of the road Mexican food restaurant and made it feel higher tier with the design and atmosphere. Service can also be hit and miss. Food is nothing special. Same for the drinks, but it has great views and exceeds the expectations of mid tier Mexican food. read more

The atmosphere is 10/10. Floor to ceiling windows around the entire restaurant with beautiful views of Castle Rock. I ordered the California Burrito. It was massive, and overall tasty, but not comparable to a cali burrito from Southern California. If I were to order it again I would probably ask for them to add cheese, make the fries extra crispy, and remove the beans. Husband ordered the Chili Rellenos. He said they were flavorful, but next time he'd ask for them extra crispy. The house marg was sweet but not very strong. Lastly, this place was PACKED on a Wednesday evening. I was overall very impressed with the organization of the hostess, and the promptness of the service. It's clear the employees are trained well. read more

Our server was Valerie ( I believe), she was the highlight! We arrived ( first come / first serve dining only here), and it was Saturday around 4pm. Busy...all hard surfaces so inside it was super loud and difficult to hear each other talk. We sat on the inside "patio" lovely views...but difficult to have a conversation. The i side din8ng room and bar were about the same. Good menu. My carnitas and homemade guac were exceptional...the salsa carries a kick. My recommendation anywhere inside is, if you are on a date, with friends or family and want to catch up or "visit" while eating THIS is not your place. We are debating if we will ever return. (we live in Castle Rock)...possibly for "take out despite the fact that my food was great...we couldn't wait to finish our meals and drinks, and get the heck out of there....disappointing . read more

Food was very good. The salsa is a little spicy. Our waitress was very nice and food came out pretty quickly. Giving four stars because the food is not that different from what you can find at most Mexican restaurants. The big draw for this place is how beautiful it is, try to get a seat by the large windows is you can for the excellent views! read more

Disappoint after going here and others in the chain for 40 years. They stopped carrying my favorite tequila herradura which I've been drinking for 40 years. Not as many reasons to return as there are alternatives that still do. Sad day. Service ok. Food good. Service at bar great. read more

Ordered online and I should have known better than to not check the order before leaving. Get home and one meal should have come with sour cream and guacamole and then another had a side order of guacamole. None of these came with the dinners. Also the chicken chimichanga was not cooked very well. Not sure I would go back. read more

We liked this place. For one, if there's a wait, there's a TJ Maxx across the way. We spent our wait time there browsing. The views here are gorgeous. Big tall windows. Our waiter, Luis, S. was sharp and started us out with chips/salsa. We ordered house margaritas before we looked at the menu more closely and saw one with less mix we wish we had ordered. My friend and I split the 3 enchiladas. It was plenty of food. We ordered flan for the table. Everyone liked what they ordered-burrito and fajitas...will return! read more

Excellent, but fairly spicy. As a gringo it doesn't take much for Mexican Food to be spicy - BUT, excellent tasting food! Very popular place, does not take reservations, but it's a big place. Hanh, our sever (23 people!) was excellent and so friendly and willing to help us with anything. Thank you Hanh! Castle rock location, don't miss this place! read more

This restaurant serves excellent Mexican food. The Carnitas plate served Friday Saturday Sunday is spectacular. 5 stars The shredded beef sopaipilla is amazing. It is on the spicy side. 5 stars Service 5 stars Bacon wrapped shrimp was good but not great. Parts of the bacon were not cooked all the way. They need to cook the bacon before wrapping the shrimp. 3 stars Fajitas are good but not 5 stars. Steak fajitas 3 stars. Chicken fajitas 4 stars and shrimp 4 stars. Beans are decent 4 stars guacamole fresh 5 stars. Rice 4 stars. Margaritas 5 stars. Overall 4 stars. Very good and highly recommend. read more

We come here all the time and we travel 2 hours to come here. Last time was perfect and amazing. Not this time. I got steak tacos and my husband got fajitas. Every table around us their fajitas came out sizzling. I asked for our meat to be med rare. Not only was ours well done it was fried beyond well done. It was burnt, cold, and not we are used to with this restaurant. The margaritas were limey and could barely taste tequila at all. The restrooms were in horrible shape and smelt like sewage. I don't think we will go out of our way to eat here again. Very disappointed. read more

First time to this location & we will definitely be back! Server Emily was ON POINT, very attentive and knew her stuff! The building and decor is undeniably gorgeous, but with the 'side table guac' carts rolling around all sides of you it does make it feel a bit cramped at times. It's a great idea in theory but those carts are so large - I feel like it's something they will have to work out the best way to roll those things through with minimal interruptions. Emily told us about some amazing happy hour specials including $5 house margaritas which we will definitely be back for! They offer on rocks & frozen! Happy hour is Monday 4-close & Tuesday-Thursday 4-6. The salsa definitely has some kick to it - which I absolutely love! Was a bit much for the rest at the table. Apparently they have a more mild one you can request, however, we did not test this. Will definitely be back! read more

Food and drinks are great and we always have an enjoyable experience! Collin is our favorite server...he's just so fun!

I had to check out this new spot in Castle Rock! We went for a double date and had to wait for about an hour to get a table. We were able to sit at the bar while we waited and order a drink. My first spicy margarita was a lot better than my second. The second was too sweet. I will say the bar tender seemed to have an attitude with us once he realized we weren't ordering food, which was rude. He didn't wait on us and didn't even ring up our drinks. Another server had to add our drinks when we asked to close out. We also noticed how unprofessional the other servers were who were hanging out right by the bar where we sat and talking very loudly and goofing off. It was a turn off for sure and pretty unprofessional. It made the environment distracting and unappealing. Once we were seated we were happier with the location and service. However, the server didn't bring everything we ordered and we had to ask for a few things. We also were left for about 45 minutes without being checked on and had to flag him down to get the bill. I didn't care for my plate. My husband got the molcajete and it was delicious. Other than that, the food was just okay even borderline not good. I wouldn't be raving about the food or service. It was a hassle to get a table without the ability to make a reservation and overall I don't think I would be back except for the molcajete. read more

The salsa and green chili are nasty HOT and too greasy. The decor of the restaurant is low rent for their prices.
