So, we love the Taco Salad here and come somewhat often for that. The staff is mostly super friendly. Today we had an attentive busser, but she seemed very angry. We made sure to smile a lot and show our appreciation, but she was rather grumpy. Our waitress was very friendly and smiley!! The salads were great, though my shell was half baked today (I didn't need to be eating that anyway), so that was a little sad. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The one thing that I REALLY don't like here and it is now a repeat issue (three visits), the place stinks![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would love to spell the delicious food, but [[HIGHLIGHT]]twice is has smelled like sewer, today, we were right by the kitchen and it smelled like an a very strong outhouse deodorizer covering up sewer smell.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It really was not pleasant smelling it while eating. Why does this restaurant always stink? I hope I am not the only one reporting this, because maybe they will do something about it if multiple people complain. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It really takes away from the experience!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Came here on a Friday afternoon for lunch and was quickly seated. They have plenty of staff so the service was great. Someone brought us chips and salsa once we were seated and before our waiter arrived to take our order. Our waiter was friendly and attentive. She was quick to bring us our drinks and was always ready with the refills without requesting it. The food was promptly served. We ordered the carnitas and enchiladas and both menu items were tasty and flavorful. The rice and beans were cooked just right. The only complaint was that both plates had a lot of onions so we ended up picking a lot of them out. We also ordered dessert. It came out quick and was delicious. read more

This was our first visit we chose the Parker restaurant. What a delightful experience! [[HIGHLIGHT]]One of the newer restaurants everything inside was clean, gentle lighting, and well taken care of.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] At 4pm on a Tuesday seating not an issue and our waiter Diego was friendly and very knowledgeable of the offers. We had a few special adjustments to entrees which he happily accommodated. Chips and salsa on the table were crisp and tasty. Ordered the Los Dos Patrillos enchiladas which came with very fresh sidings and sauces. This is now our go-to for Mexican meals. read more

Los Dos Potrillos - Los Dos Patrillos Enchiladas! - Mexican Near Me - Parker, Colorado

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Los Dos Potrillos is a great Mexican spot essentially at the crossroads of Parker & E470 - almost always busy, and certainly noisy, it serves-up guilty-pleasure MX cuisine.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There are fancier, more 'Traditional'*, and certainly pricier options nearby, but Los Dos is comida auténtica & awesome. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's casual & can get kinda loud and packed with families on a Friday night.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Enjoy a margarita & have some chips & salsa: there's a reason there's sometimes a wait. * LDP is very authentic food, but it does lean TexMex if you order that way read more

We were excited to come back and support Los Dos Potrillos after hearing they had reopened following the kitchen fire. We understand they're probably still working through some challenges since this was only their second night back. Unfortunately, our experience was disappointing. The restaurant's posted closing time is 10:00 p.m., but around 9:37 p.m. the lights were shut off while we were still dining, which made us feel rushed and unwelcome. To make matters worse, our waitress disappeared for the last 30-40 minutes of our meal. We never saw her again to check on us, refill drinks, or bring our check. We ended up having to get the hostess to help us so we could pay and leave. We genuinely wanted to support the restaurant and hope this was just part of the growing pains of reopening. However, if the kitchen or dining room needs to close earlier during this period, it would be much better to communicate that to customers rather than making guests feel rushed out before the posted closing time. We truly hope things improve because we've enjoyed coming here in the past and want to continue supporting the restaurant. read more

4.7/5 -- Los Dos Potrillos (Parker) Los Dos Potrillos is one of those spots that proves you can get great, consistent Mexican food without breaking the bank. Honestly, that sub-4.0 rating is a complete disservice to what this restaurant delivers -- the food is flat-out delicious, every single time. The service has always been solid for me, friendly, quick, and attentive. And the prices? Definitely reasonable, especially for the portion sizes and the quality of the food. If you're looking for a reliable Mexican spot in Parker that hits the mark every visit, this is it. Highly recommend. read more

Our cousins were visiting from out of town and wanted to meet here for dinner. I stopped coming to this restaurant many years ago because it was not good. Oh well. Maybe they improved? Nope. Unhappy, rude staff. [[HIGHLIGHT]]NO sound attenuation. Very noisy, especially with the mariachi band.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Seriously Gringo-type food. I was underwhelmed. Their chips and are one of the truly delicious items there. I ordered the grilled Monterey Chicken and the small, thinly pounded chicken breast arrived nice and hot with sautéed vegetables beneath but flavorless rice and gummy beans took up more room on my plate. Not worth a $21 entree. The chicken itself was fairly tasty but such a tiny piece of meat was sad. We ordered guacamole table side and it was prepared with far too many tomatoes and thus didn't have a good avocado flavor. Don't recommend it. My husband got the Chicken Ranchera but had to send it back because the potatoes were not cooked and it had no creamy sauce. I CANNOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE. read more

Los Dos Potrillos - Monterey chicken. Meat was 3" x 5" in size and pounded to 1/2" thickness. Skimpy. :( - Mexican Near Me - Parker, Colorado

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The Ambiance is lovely.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food is tasty. The Wait Staff are competent. What truly upsets me, is the way they try increase their profits. I got an omelet with cheese and beans. The omelette was good, the Small Portion amount of beans With NO Cheese :-(. When I asked for more, he pointed to a small bowl, which would be $5.00, if I wanted a "Side" of Beans! I was stunned. If I wanted cheese on my beans, it would be another Additional Cost The Mexican Restaurants I have been to, Recently, always gives you a Nice plate with a lot of Beans AND ALSO WITH CHEESE. I think I will go to other Mexican Restaurants where they give you Better and More Portions of Beans and Food WITH CHEESE! read more

One of my favorite Mexican restaurants for good reliable food. Their complimentary chips and salsa are amazing and the perfect amount of spice. I believe their tortillas and chips are homemade in-house and you can really taste the freshness. We love ordering the table side guacamole. My go-tos are the steak fajitas which come on a steaming hot plate with a generous plate of Mexican rice, beans, guac, sour cream, and your choice of corn or flour tortillas. Their carne asada is also very tasty. read more

This location of Los Dos Potrillos rules them all. I have been to other locations and they're great too. Maybe cause this one is our home base location it makes it that much more special? Who knows. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Service has always been great and the feel of the restaurant reminds me of someone's giant house with a ton of friends.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] haha! Food and variety are certainly present and can satisfy just about any palette. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Bring your friends, bring the family, or even sit at the bar on a solo trip.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The everlasting flow of chips and salsa will set the tone. The staff will invite you in and set the pace. All you have to do is scarf down the food. Guess what? If you run out of food just order more! read more

Los Dos Potrillos - Mexican Near Me - Parker, Colorado

Long time patron here. This place has gone down hill. Food is now tasteless -- pre-made, cold / frozen on the inside, covered with canned sauces and bad cheese on the outside. Nothing tastes like scratch cooking anymore. Even the margaritas have been watered down. I don't know what's going on, but can't recommend Los Dos anymore at its Parker or Castle Rock locations. read more

We have been fans and patrons of Los Dos for over a decade. Our go to spot was the Parker location until the Castle Rock spot opened. We quickly became "those people" and were regulars getting to know staff and identifying favorite table to be sat. [[HIGHLIGHT]]After a change in management, the feel of the Castle Rock location changed.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] While we were bummed, we continued to go, however, less frequently. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Our understanding was that the Castle Rock manager moved to Parker so we thought we'd head back to see if the vibe we missed, was in Parker and hot damn! We found the experience we'd been missing[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. In our opinion, the Parker location manager is the heart of whatever location she is managing. We've watched her handle unruly and rude customers, deal with upset staff, give accolades to those around her, take orders, run food and she does it with a smile and an authentic heart. (Looking at you, Darla) In a world where folks will jump to platforms like this to complain that their salsa was too hot or that their green chile had too much chile, it's critical to also jump to these platforms to acknowledge that hard work behind the food. read more

Amazing Pazole! (Only available Friday-Sunday - and until they run out of! Service is hit or miss - I'm sure that when it's not busy, the service is probably exemplary - on a busy Sunday afternoon/evening, I think they were understaffed for the number of people in the restaurant. As a single diner, I was seated quickly at a high top in the bar area. It took a while for my server to come by although chips and salsa were delivered quickly. Having lots of time to look at the menu, I decided to have a passionfruit margarita and some posole. At first, my server was unsure if they still had any of the delicious soup, but he returned to say that they did, so I got a small bowl instead of the large,as he said, it was rather huge. The frozen passionfruit margarita was quite tasty. I got the "Small" and was glad I did after seeing the huge amount in the large glass being served to someone near me. The posole, when it arrived, was accompanied by cabbage, limes, onions, and radishes. Although not a huge serving, it was plenty for a light meal, especially after chips and salsa! And it was some of the best posole I have had in a long time! I look forward to bringing my husband here when we next come to Parker. read more

Los Dos is always reliable for good food, good service, and great drinks! Shared queso and barbacoa tacos with my husband and he was amazed how good the barbacoa is. A little on the spicy side, so if you hate spice find something else. Queso is always amazing. We arrived at 4:15p and there was no wait and room to sit at a high top in the bar area which is always my preferred! read more

Not all Mexican restaurants are equal and this one is above average for sure! Los Dos Potrillos has multiple locations around the Front Range. And, their food is always good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The one in Castle Rock has great views but THIS one! This one in Parker, Colorado has the best ambiance of them all.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I was there again today for a late lunch - got seated immediately into a booth, the servers were excellent - quick and patient, too as I had to wait for my wife to arrive. The fajitas we shared were generous in portions, arrived piping hot, and everything we ate was tasty! Had enough to bring home leftovers for lunch again tomorrow. Yea! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The bathrooms were clean, the drinks were yummy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Have absolutely no complaints at all! read more

I've been coming to Los Dos for over 10 years. It used to be my go‑to spot in Parker for Mexican food and drinks, and I've brought a lot of friends and family here over the years. The last year has been a very different story. The food is still good and most of the staff is trying, but the way the place is run now makes it hard to enjoy being here. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The AC is cranked so high that every time I'm in here my nose runs and I'm sitting there in a jacket.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] At this point, I pretty much just try to get through a drink and get out, because actually relaxing over a meal is almost impossible. [[HIGHLIGHT]]You can look around and see other tables clearly cold and talking about it, and nothing changes.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I'm not asking for the restaurant to be hot, just reasonably comfortable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] When customers keep saying they're freezing and management still doesn't adjust, it feels like they just don't care about the people actually sitting in the seats. After a decade of being a regular, that's really disappointing. I want to keep supporting this place, but until the current management starts paying attention to the dining room and making it comfortable to sit and eat, I'll be coming here a lot less often. read more

First time in 2 days before Thanksgiving. (Meant to post long ago) Wait for 6 - no reservations accepted Waited at 530 in crowded hallway with 3 kids under 8 year's. Ouch!! Atmosphere - loud & busy Service- Our server- Abel G was excellent! Just knew what we needed & served immediately. Recommend my daughter's plate it was amazing. Our fajitas were large in size and tasty To be honest the salsa was THEE best salsa we have had in CO yet. It's a bit busy and loud but drinks help read more

Los Dos Portillos is still one of our favorite Mexican restaurants in Parker. In a town that has as many options as Parker does for this food genre, Los Dos sits at the top for me. The food is outstanding and they have a massive menu to fit many different tastes. All of the classics are here and everything I've ever eaten here has been amazing! The service also top notch, they can do table side salsa, and the servers are always on point. It is well decorated and fairly big inside with a small brewery onsite. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Despite long waits and a nice atmosphere, Los dos Potrillos slightly underwhelmed in taste.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered a margarita and steak fajitas. Everything tasted fine with good flavor on the steak. My wife had steak tacos and the meat was slightly room temp and lacked flavor. The most disappointing piece of the meal was def the tortillas. Each tortillas was under cooked, had a par bake taste that bummed out the meal. If you like big portions and an American Mexican style, come here. If you're looking for great food, I would go somewhere else. 3 out of 5 stars read more

1:30 on a Friday afternoon and the place was packed. Thank goodness they have a huge dining room and lots of tables in the bar. There's also an enclosed patio but it wasn't open today. We were seated right away but it took a few extra minutes to get water and chips/salsa. The chips are great - light and crispy and the salsa has just enough of a kick. After going through the huge menu, I decided on the #10 combo. The chili replenished and cheese enchilada were very good but the ground beef burrito was pretty runny. I also opted for a side of sour cream and guacamole which artived in a tortilla shell and was a nice size for $2. We also had a steak and bean burrito that was great - with large chunks of tomato. The steak was a little chewy but the amazing flavor outweighed that. We both had to go boxes for half the huge meals and they will be enjoyed again tomorrow. It's fun to watch the tortillas being made as you walk in or out and the staff was friendly and welcoming. read more

Do you ever go to a restaurant that just blows you away, then you tell your friends how great it is, then you take them there and it's just meh? Well, that's my take on Los Dos Patrillos. When we arrived, we weren't even greeted. It seemed like we were inconveniencing the host. I had the ceviche. It was just one kind of whitefish and nothing else. It seemed cooked, not marinated. What kinda' ceviche is that? My friend had enchiladas. He said they were OK. I had a bit, yeah, just OK. Here's where it gets really bad. We had some sopapilla bites for dessert. When pouring honey for my 94-year-old dad the top popped off the honey bottle and honey was everywhere. Our server was nowhere to be found and rarely came by anyway. I had to flag a different server to get us some napkins. When our server came and I told her what happened she just said sorry, but made no efforts to make amends or even help wipe up the honey spilled all over the table. I asked for the manager, after about ten minutes he came to the table, offered no apology, threw our ticket in the honey and took the price of the sopapilla from our bill. He was pretty rude about it, never even looking at us or speaking to us. I used to call this the best Mexican restaurant in the Denver area. I wouldn't come back here even if the food was the best in the world. I can't stand when someone disrespects my 94 year old dad like that. You want more? The friend I took thought he might have left his cell phone there. He called to see if anyone had turned in a phone and the manager he spoke with quickly said, "no." My friend went back to the restaurant and asked in person if they had found a phone. They showed him their lost and found and his cell phone was there! Unbelievable! Los Dos Patrillos now has dos less customers and I now give it dos stars. read more

This is one of our favorites. It's hard to find authentic Mexican food in the suburbs and this one definitely hits the spot. Their enchiladas with onions, guacamole tostadas, and anything with green chili is delicious. It's always packed, but they do serve you swiftly. They make fresh tortillas right in the front of the restaurant and you can watch them make it. It's pretty neat. read more

The food here is great time and time again. However, the last time we went, our food was taking way longer than usual, but we did not complain, even though we didn't complain, The manager came over and said they were going to comp one of the meals when we received the check all of the meals were on there so then we had to look like the assholes to ask them to take off the food that they offered to take off even though we didn't ask them too. It just felt weird almost like a bait and switch. read more

I can't say enough good things about Los Dos Potrillos in Parker. Every time I go, I leave full, happy, and already planning my next visit. The food is consistently amazing--fresh, flavorful, and served hot. Their green chili is next level, and the carne asada? Perfection. You can tell they put real care into every dish. But what really keeps me coming back is the customer service. The staff is so friendly and attentive, and they genuinely make you feel welcome. Whether I'm grabbing a quick lunch or out with friends for dinner, they always go above and beyond to make sure everything is just right. It's the kind of place where they remember your name and your favorite drink--and speaking of drinks, their margaritas are dangerously good! It's rare to find a spot that nails both the food and the experience, but Los Dos Potrillos does it every time. If you haven't been yet, you're missing out! [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's plenty of parking, tables and lively place to eat![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Wow!! We've lived in this area for 4 years, and we can't believe this is the first time trying this place. We arrived around 4:50 on a Friday night, and it was already so busy! Luckily we were able to get seated right away - 2 adults + 1 high chair for baby. Not that I don't like company, but I've learned the smaller the group, the faster you'll be seated. Within 5 minutes of being seated, the waitress brought out fresh chips and salsa - my all time weakness!! The spicy salsa was so good! I believe every restaurant should have an immediate mini appetizer served right away especially for those of us who get hangry fast (me) and people who have to deal with it (my husband). My husband and I viewed the menu in advance (because who doesn't haha) and we knew exactly what we were going to order. He ordered the chamorro (pork hock) entree, and he loved it! He's not the biggest fan of Mexican food, but he truly enjoyed this one. The flavor was there, the pork fell off the bones, and he finished his plate clean. I ordered the carnitas since they only serve this on the weekend so I figured it'd be a special dish and it was! I don't know how you turn something so basic into something so good but the combination of everything on the plate fit perfectly together - rice, beans, pico, guacamole, carnitas + their homemade tortillas (made fresh right by the front of the door to the left as you enter). Even my 14 month old son gave us a thumbs up for the beans he had! Can't wait to go back to try the other items on the menu! The menudo and fajitas will be next! read more

Came here with some friends and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The restaurant is large and clean, servers were friendly and fast (and gave us extra salsa!) The steak burrito was amazing.

Last review was 4 years ago. Happy to say it's still consistently good. Lucky to have visited on a Friday so I could have their carnitas. Their homemade tortillas are wonderful added touch.

Can be a little noisy, but the bar and restaurant have a good high energy feel. read more

Los Dos Potrillos - Carnitas - Mexican Near Me - Parker, Colorado

There are a few Los Dos Potrillos restaurants in the Denver and surrounding area. This one is on the far southeast side. They offer authentic Mexican cuisine and pretty much nothing on the menu disappoints. The vibrant and welcoming atmosphere makes it a great spot for casual dining and based on some of the groups I've seen dining here) special occasions. Food: The menu is extensive, featuring everything from tacos and fajitas to burritos and quesadillas. The ingredients are fresh, and the flavors are rich and authentic. I love the homemade flour tortillas and the slightly hot salsa, and if you like margaritas, try their house pomegranate flavor version because it's got a unique tasty balance. Service: Based on my own experience and observations, I find the staff to be friendly and attentive. I leave having had a pleasant dining experience. They hustle providing prompt and efficient service even during busy hours. Ambiance: The place is lively and warm with a colorful decor. Overall: If you happen to be in the Denver area, this is a great choice when you need for Mexican food fix. Lots of parking so no worries there. read more

5/5 for a first visit! The chips and salsa are some of the best I've ever had in my life. Salsa is slightly spicy and richly flavored. They make their own tortillas in house and when you walk in, you can catch a glimpse. Service was wonderful and prompt. This spot is also a brewery, so great place to get Mexican food and grab a local brew, if that is your scene. Portions are big, so this is def a place you can split an entree. I got the beef taquitos which came with a generous serving of rice and refried beans as well as green chili to dip. Fun fact, this spot serves vegetarian green chili which is hard to find. A vegetarian friend said it was delicious. Overall, the spot is great for large groups or to celebrate a birthday. They have beer, wine and liquor on the menu. Tortillas are made fresh, and all the food is wonderfully seasoned. Plus, there are great vegetarian options! read more

My partner and I visited our family out here, we came for dinner and as soon as we entered I could hear the live Mariachi, which I thought was a nice touch! Considering we came in on Thursday night! I loved the ascetic of the place, looked so authentic down to the ladies making handmade tortillas, I was impressed! I actually ordered the tacos because I wanted to try the tortillas, I ordered ,1 chicken , 1 beef , and 2 Pastor. The pastor was really dry and I did not enjoy. The chicken and beef were delicious! I also deducted a star because of the presentation of the food, honestly this is a pretty important part for me. I was disappointed. My plate looked very scattered and like everything was thrown together so quickly that this was over looked. read more
