But i can honestly say this was definitely great & tasty authentic Mexican food. Coming from California , i was definitely impressed with this place. We got the torta con papas.

Let's get down to the food. We ordered the chicken fajitas that were ok. Nothing to write home about. We also ordered the green creamy enchiladas that I have to admit were the best I have ever had! That one dish made up for the terrible delivery and missing item!

My server dropped off my plate and the next time I saw her it was to ask for a Togo box, then she asks how everything was and I told her my egg was destroyed. She apologized then adding insult to injury she tells me yes I work in another place and I know that egg is not over easy. Folks that egg was way over well, absolutely no yolk what so ever. I'm thinking...if you knew that then why did you bring it out?

We started off with queso fundido and two Aguas Frescas, the Jamaica and the Horchata. The drinks were delicious and refreshing and the queso fundido had a good flavor and was gigantic in fact, we ate almost the whole thing, and because we ate almost the whole thing we were already full by the time the rest of our food came out, but don't worry, dear reader we persevered. I got the steak fajitas and the meat was really yummy. The tortillas were perfect and their pico added just the right amount of spice. note for somebody who gets a lot of fajitas. There was no guacamole, sour cream or cheese. Just rice beans and pico, but I was happy. My table partner got Birria Xalisco. And said that the meet and consome was delicious and the blue masa cake might've been the best part. Wheelchair accessibility: there are several different seating options both inside and outside that work for a wheelchair user. The path of travel inside the restaurant is a little bit tight, and the path of travel back to the bathrooms is pretty tight and somebody with a larger chair might not be able to make it through. The bathroom door is super super heavy to where we had to have somebody else open it.

We absolutely love the Chicken Tinga with jalapeño cream sauce, and the mini rellenos--served with their own special dipping sauce--are not to be missed. They've officially become my new favorite. Service is exceptional! The staff is kind and accommodating from the moment you arrive until the very end of your meal. We love it here and can't wait to come back!

Love this resturant, we love the staff and of course Luis he is great! Very nice family atmosphere and affordable. The combinations are so affordable and service is fast and food is hot. My favorite is the Tacos Nogales and Crispy chili rellenos. But everything is great you can't go wrong with any dish. My husband eats the mexican hamburger with two fried eggs and it is so delicious.

My litmus test for a good Mexican joint is how well they handle their pork. The carnitas were easily in the top 3 I've tried in Denver. Crispy on the outside and soft tender almost melting on the inside. It's brought out with rice, white beans, guac, and a roasted jalapeno pepper. The menu is full of beef, chicken, fish, and other options to be served as tacos, burritos, in a skillet, or platter. Drinks are from the cooler. No beer or alcohol. This tiny 14 seater looks like a mexican carniceria with the meat counter up front. Once you brave the barred windows and uninviting curb appeal, be ready for some real Mexican food! This is not the place you bring a date. You come here to enjoy fantastic food in a unassuming and unpretentious environment. This is in the shadow of the great Guadalajara restaurant which has a better dining room and booze for socializing but the food is way better here. Check it and be changed forever
