Great service! I had a great time and our server was super attentive. The food was delicious and so were the drinks. If you're visiting Denver, you won't regret eating here! read more

Mezcal has great drinks. And that's about the only positive thing I can say. Believe me, I have given them more than enough chances to redeem themselves on the service side, but every time I go in, I am shocked at how rude the employees are. Whether I've sat at the bar or a table, my service has never once been impressive. I've worked in the industry for over five years, and am generally pretty forgiving when it comes to sub par service, but Mezcal has pissed me off on more than one occasion. In addition to the surly employees, the food is kind of gross as far as "Mexican" food goes (if you can even call it that). Yes they do have $1 tacos at happy hour which are really good if you're already three sheets to the wind. I really, really wish Mezcal would get their shit together. I have a bit of a tequila weakness, and they do make killer drinks, but everything else pretty much falls apart. read more

It was midnight on a Friday and the Les Zeppelin concert had let out across the street. Someone was wearing heels and a fishnet one-piece. I'm just glad it wasn't me. You don't understand, I really wanted to love this place. I love mexican food, and it serves really late. It's got lots of hot sauces including one of my favorite hot sauces of all time, El Yucateco KutBil-Ik XXX. It will hurt you. This place is on Colfax, and I love being on Colfax late at night and eating mexican food. But apparently not here. Things started to go wrong right away. First, service was really, really fast. Just not for us. The guy was running around at meth-powered speeds, but never seemed to stop at our table. Next, you do have to buy chips and salsa but that I can kind of understand. If I were homeless and a mexican restaraunt on Colfax had free chips and salsa, I would go in there twice a day, order a water and tip with empty aluminum cans and dumpster socks. It was way too loud for a restaurant or bar, but fine for a dance club. I'm pretty sure it's supposed to either be a restaraunt or a bar. Worst of all, the food sucked. My wife who really is trying to be a vegan but failing miserably decided she was going to order a soy-rizo breakfast burrito which is, yes, soy chorizo. Too bad for her that it did not occur a breakfast burrito would have eggs on it, making it modified vegan. The red sauce tasted a bit like dish water, and my chicken tacos were really watery and the chicken was shredded. I don't like shredded chicken. Oh well, I might go back but just drink Pacifico next time. read more

Good news: You come in on a Sunday; There is no wait to be seated. Bad news: you notice the waitress seems... Distant. Like, perhaps-an-animal-she-loved-passed-on-to-the-next-life and you can see that your drinks are setting on the bar and the ice is melting into the glass and after what seems like 10 minutes you might as well just go take them and serve them to the table yourself, distant. Good news: You serve well and remember everyone's order. Bad news: After a while, drinks are passed around; Nobody seems to like any of them. Good news: This is a restaurant. You came for the food. And the food is good. Bad news: it probably takes a really, really long time to arrive at the table. Good news: This gives you lots of time to catch up, talk about how the drinks are bad. Bad news: you notice the restaurant also seems a little too bright, the tables a little too cheap and flimsy. The waitress looks sad. Good news: The chips are that warm, thin and tasty tortilla chip that so often Mexican restaurants seem to get wrong. Bad news: The chips aren't free, which is something that you point out other Mexican restaurants so often get right as you sip your bad drinks, wait for the food to show up, and talk about small-animal mortality. SUMMARY: One star because there is so much more bad than good. Two because we felt bad for our waitress' loss, grub was decent, and atomic cowboy is right across the street and may be where you should have gone anyway. read more

A little group from Yelp dined at Mezcal after office hours with Tiffany at Hooked on Colfax across the street. * star one is for the happy bright atmosphere and enjoyable unique artwork everywhere. **star two is for the perfectly delightful chile relleno in its delicious red vegetarian sauce. soooo good! ***star three is for the nice waiter who made a special salad for my daughter even though there was not a salad on the menu. Though I think they probably would have done something about the off-tasting fish in the fish tacos, we had already asked for the special salad and decided to not bother our waiter again. It puzzles me that fish could taste like that. We did really enjoy the guac and chips that Tiffany treated the table to. The rellenos are so good here. Mezcal has the potential to be an excellent restaurant, and obviously is a popular neighborhood gathering place that is much-loved. read more

Things you need to know about Mezcal: 1. $1 tacos Sunday-Thur 10pm till close. Worth it. 2. $2.50 pbr and $1.50 tecate Sunday-Thur 10pm till close 3. Chips and 2 good salsas at $2.50 and you get a great bang for your buck. Only food worth ordering that is not overpriced. 4. Besides dollar taco nights and chips.....dont' bother. 5. If your into tequilla and don't mind spending they have a GIGANTIC tequilla bar. read more

Very sad. I loved this neighborhood staple before it's renovation and new menu. The service was great. Greeted promptly and welcomed feedback on our experience. The food was not. Ordered tacos and felt disappointment in just looking at them....Tasted disappointment in eating them. Gave my feedback afterwards for improvement, but sorry to say I can't come back. I'll forever miss the delicious salsas and guacamole old Mezcal served. The variety of bottled sauces on each table, and the Al Pastor tacos. It will never be the same. *tear* read more

A pre-game as they have some great specials beginning at 10 p.m. That being said, our service was awfully slow so despite the pre-gaming hint, I hope you're not in too much of a hurry! I specified that I wanted the veggie tacos and our server decided to bring the beef ones and the veggies one on the same plate. I'm not that big of a freak about it, but c'mon dude, separation, please! The margaritas were alright- but hard to keep them filled as our server would disappear for long periods of times. The tacos were good, and cheap but I don't know that I'd come back for much more unless I was in a super patient mood. There was some Mexican beer on special, but the one person in our party that actually ordered it was charged regular price. The salsa and chips were good- so, basically, come for the cheap tacos and salsa but not the service and hit/miss drinks {and their supposed specials}. read more

All in all a Meh Experience. Horchata was good. Service sucked big time this time around. The person we had as our server didn't feel the need to make eye contact except while taking our order and when she did the "is everything okay" post order delivery. If you need anything else...fah gid abou did. I'm not sure if this was a fluke or what, but I have never had bad service like this at Mezcal before. Dinner was okay. I had fish tacos. I probably could have gone to Wahoos and gotten better fish tacos for cheaper...Oh, and I guess times are too tough for the complimentary tortilla chips and salsa. If the service continues to blow, the only thing this place will be great for are the dollar tacos and beer specials after 10pm. read more

Maybe it's the wall decor, or the iron stars hanging above the bar or simply the fact that it's located in a really cool part of Colfax, but I love Mezcal. Sure, the food really isn't THAT great, but the experience is. And the mojitos are as well. FYI, bottles of Mexican beer end up being about the same amount as the mojitos so it generally just makes more sense to get those. That is, if you like mojitos ... which I don't know how you couldn't! When I've got friends visiting from out of town this is usually the place I take them to. It's reasonably priced, casual and quirky. read more

When this place first opened I was one of their first customers - it came with much hype and hope for something new, different, and tasty. In my first visits I was assured by the manager that this was really-o, truly-o authentic Mexican food because the owner was FROM that exotic land and really knew the food. Wow. You know, there are lots and lots of people born in various countries whose versions of their homeland foods are inedible to all but their own loved ones (and even they bolt the experience whenever possible). Being from a country is not a guarantee that you have any idea how to cook its food - you know, you have to know how to COOK first. This is plainly something the kitchen staff in this place have no idea how to do. They manage to make even their salsas inedible. The only reason for any stars is because some of the bartenders really know their Tequilas and you can successfully try new flavors based on their recommendations. But they also have the snotty types of bartenders, so you have to know who to ask. When this was the only place in town with this array of Tequilas, I would have given it two stars for having a place to sit at a bar with friends and having a fun, interesting drink. Now I avoid the place like the plague. read more

The service here is terrible. The worst. The servers are slow and un-interested. The food is decent, they have $1 tacos at night. The decor and overall ambience is nice. The margaritas are good. If this place wasn't in my neighborhood I wouldn't go here. I've given this place more than its fair share of chances. Sorry Mezcal. read more

So if your looking for a night of poor service, flavorless food, and zero personality, you've found it in Mezcal. read more

Mezcal - Mexican Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Nice decor and very friendly service. Food is good, had the opportunity to try their Posole - was huge, the portion of it it's definitely huge, I was expecting it to be hearty, more spices going on. Instead it was hominy, pieces of pork meat, and pork stock. It came with side dishes to complement the soup, like a medley of chopped sweet onions with cilantro, salsa, and few flour tortillas. Nothing special. Tried their holiday drink special - Platino Cucumber Mojito : not my drink, I usually like mojitos and few variations to it, but this one is made with Tequila instead of rum, so maybe it was a margarita... But anyway, too much of a strong taste of tequila, cucumbers didn't really accentuated the flavor, it was neutral, it's missing its essence of a mojito, more mint and more sweetener. But service is great and knowledgeable. read more

It's been a long time since we've walked out of a restaurant. But, we did tonight. It took too long to get a menu. (They were "seat yourself" mode.) I had to walk over to the bar and specifically ask for a menu. 10 minutes and no water, no drink order, no chips, nothing. Now since this was my second visit - a prior visit in December - I'm giving it a review and a not-so-pretty review at that. The food in December was meh! Unremarkable. Nothing special.In fact, after glancing at the menu tonight, honestly, I couldn't remember what I ordered. I know I didn't walk out in December thinking, "ooooh, we must return." The service in December, not today since there was no service, was interesting especially to hear the server tell my date (my date was an Anglo-looking half Mexican) the Spanish meaning of tambien. The server didn't have a clue. It was quite funny. So I give it 1 star for sucky service, the worn and tired looking interior, and food that was nothing special. I'll return to Blue Bonnet before I return to Mezcal. read more

Came into Mezcal for some drinks and tacos on a Tuesday ($1 taco Tuesday!) after a rainy evening of attempting to play kickball. I would come back but I would say it's nothing special. The chips and salsa are delish and the service is good. I didn't get any food but from what I heard, the tacos were good (except for chicken wasn't a favorite). I think we'd come back again if need be because it's central to all of our friends locations but overall and the specials seem to be good, not the most amazing Mexican restaurant I've ever been to. read more

Love coming for taco Tuesday with friends! $1 tacos! Disappointed they won't let us make reservations on Tuesday nights anymore. We've had to find a new place because we have a large group that likes to get together and it typically takes too long to wait for a big enough table and we are hungry after work. But when it's only two of us I still love to go!! Not a fan of the queso read more

I went to Mezcal last night for dinner with my husband. The atmosphere at Mezcal is cool - and I could definitely see this being a fun place to go with a group of people. We ordered drinks and although I restricted myself to a strawberry margarita (with a much cuter marketing name on the menu), I would have loved to have sampled every drink on the list. Maybe next time... We ordered the chips and guacamole and the guac was good - I even detected a few bites of jalapenos which was a nice surprise! The chips were a little crispy and oily for my taste, but I must have gotten over it because we quickly had an empty basket. We ordered the salsa with the guac, but I wasn't that impressed. I'd skip the salsa next time. For dinner my husband had flautas and I had chicken enchiladas. The food was good - I am a big fan of beans and my black beans and husband's refried beans were good. The portions were large and after dinner we agreed that we probably could have split an entree after all those chips. We didn't have dessert, but I'd like to sample those, too, on my next visit! If you go to Mezcal factor in about 10-15 minutes to find parking. Unless you get really lucky, you'll probably have to circle around looking for an open spot. Enjoy! read more

Let me start out by saying, this isn't really a place to go to for their food. Their tacos are awesome, but everything else is ok. The atmospere, GREAT! My friends and I had my Birthday/Annual Ugly Christmas Sweater Party on the same night as their 5th year anniversary and they were AWESOME! Even the waiter was a great sport, he wore a christmas sweater we brought just for him! He also helped up book the night before when we were there scoping the place out! He was completely helpful and even seperated the tab so that we weren't stuck footing the bill at the end of the night! GOOD TIMES! read more

Do NOT let your children in the men's room at mezcal. I am disgusted. There are comic portrayals of pornography on every inch. Because I don't frequent men's bathrooms, for once I deemed it safe for my 7 year old son to go into a bathroom that is for boys. My bloody mistake. My son is now traumatized. I am traumatized by the loss of innocence that just took place. That is NOT a family environment. If you must be 18 to buy pornography, they should not use it as a tool of aesthetics. If this was strictly a bar environment, I could understand - but this is a family restaurant. Distasteful, disrespectful, traumatizing and disgusting. Shame on them. read more

We stopped in to Mezcal to get a drink while we were waiting to get a table at To the Wind Bistro across the street and to our surprise discovered their amazing new menu and decided to stay for dinner. We had sat down at the bar and decided to just order food there because we were also impressed by awesome service from the Bartender. I had asked about ingredients in the margaritas because I recently got diagnosed with Celiac disease and it seems like gluten is hiding everywhere. The house margarita is so fresh tasting and delicious! They make it using fresh lime juice not a pre-made mix. A majority of the menu is designated gluten free or gluten free optional. read more

I've been to Mezcal a handful of times for food, drinks, or both and I can't say I've ever been WOWED. I think it's more of a two-and-a-half star place (very average entrees) but I'm rounding up because I dig the ambience and their happy hour nachos rock. Went for dinner recently and had huevos rancheros. I've ordered these before (a long time ago) but can't remember what I thought of them. They're really salty. And I love the salt....I think it's the red sauce on top. Too much. I love the runny eggs, but the yolks just sort of drown in the salt sauce. The salsa they serve with the chips is great. There's a smoky, spicy red one (Chipotle) and a sweeter green one. They also offer decent little tacos for a dollar after ten. And they have nachos at happy hour that are about three or four bucks. HUGE and delicious. They're not sogged down by toppings and have black beans, lettuce, pico, cheese, and a drizzle of sour cream. As for drinks....decent margaritas and mojitos but sometimes the mojitos taste almost chlorinated....like their soda water is carbonated tap water? They have a good mojito ratio down though. Perfect amount of lime, sugar, and booze. I like hanging out at Mezcal. I love the kitschy interior and feeling like I'm being transported into a Tijuana bar in the dead of winter. The entrees just don't wow me. read more

I'm disappointed that this place hasn't ended up being my favorite neighborhood haunt. All the components are there but it just misses the mark. Pros: 1. Absolutely gorgeous. Beautifully lit on the outside with a gorgeous patio and the inside is to die for. This place is a feast for your eyes and has a comfy cozy atmosphere. 2. Service. The waiters and waitresses are friendly and very well trained in being polite and accommodating. Pros end there though. Everything else is a con, sadly. The food is just so-so and costs a PRETTY PENNY! Very expensive and just nothing special or particularly flavorful at all, in fact lacking in flavor. Even the margaritas didn't satiate. Nope even after a couple attempts: very disappointing restaurant. read more

Great place to grab some drinks, just be sure to eat before you get there. By far the worst mexican food I've ever had. I went with the cheese enchilada, chile relleno, and tamale combo plate in the red sauce. Each was worse than the other. These are not hard dishes to make, not hard dishes to make taste not disgusting. Try the rellenos and enchiladas at La Fiesta, or D'corazon, even Wahoo's is great (get the 2 enchilada combo plate with any meat or fish in the green sauce, I've been loving the shrimp). Maybe some of the food is good enough to not spit out, but if they can't make an even okay tasting enchilada, I can't in good conscience give them another opportunity to give bad food a good name. read more

We come here a lot. And we like it but we tolerate a lot. BUT NOT ANYMORE! From the moment we walked in the tall bald and lanky server took his sweet time to greet us. He walked out of the kitchen and it seemed like time slowed down. When he finally made it to us, he said "sup." After a few awkward seconds I said "we're just two." He grabbed two menus and said, Ok, anywhere you want over there, I'll follow you. We chose our booth and he left us with menus. About 10 minutes... 10 MINUTES later, he comes and asks us what we want to drink. He stood at our table with his arms crossed looking down his nose at us. Dude... what did we do to you? We ordered two bottomless mimosas. We asked if we could have a mix of pineapple and orange and the same server said no. We could only have one flavor... what?!?!?!? We finally got our drinks and he asked for our order. First off: Mezcal, you can pre-make the pupusa tortilla but don't make it impossible to ask for No Cheese! We ordered the posole. YUM. When we got our food there was no egg. The menu said it came with an egg. We chose to suck it up. The posole was amazing. We ordered our next round of mimosas. I had tried to get the attention of the server, however he was dancing or something on the other side of the bar so he wasn't paying any attention to his tables. We asked for the check and before we could say "one last round" he walked away. He brought our check and then we decided after the fact, "we actually want one last drink". We tried to get the servers attention and while a different server saw me waving ignored me, our tall, bald and lanky server did not acknowledge. Finally he was taking a check to a different table and I called, "excuse me, sir? Sir?" Finally we got his attention. And we asked for a final refill. He proceeds to tell us, "well, normally the cut off is when we cut the check, but I'll get this round for you." Ok, fine. If that is the policy, state that! Anyway, food is Okay, service really sucks. If you want to be treated like shit and pay a little less, go to Mezcal. No wonder they are never full. read more

Please note first and foremost: Go to restaurant.com before you go to Mezcal for dinner! They have awesome gift certificate deals, and often have up to 90% off gift certificate specials going on with you subscribe to their emails (yes, I did mean to write NINETY percent). That being said, Mezcal is fine... Not super authentic food, but their margaritas are delicious (albiet expensive) and are made with real lime juice - none of that high calorie sour mix. The prices seem a bit high to me given the quality of the food, but it is at a great location if you're going to a show at the Bluebird. In summary, a decent place on Colfax, but I'd recommend checking out some of Denver's better Mexican restaurants before spending your money here... read more

So disappointed. I've been in here before on a weeknight and thought it was a good spot. After last Saturday night, I am fine if I never go back. We were hoping to get some food before hitting a concert at the Bluebird and figured this would be a good choice. Apparently proximity to a venue allows for suck service and overinflated ego. When we arrived the hostess told us the wait would be 20 to 30 minutes, no biggie for a Saturday night. But her attitude could have shoved us right out the door. After a little discussion with her, she said she should have a drink at the bar and wait, as it may be quicker. I stood at the bar for 10 minutes before the "uber-cool" bartender stopped to acknowledge my existence. I asked what they had on tap to which she quickly replied "nothing" and walked off without asking what else I might like....... REALLY?? Luckily the hostess arrived and swept us over to a booth. First of all - the place is so loud that you should really not plan on talking with someone on the other side of the table. Our waiter, who actually turned out to be awesome at his job, was so swamped it took 10 minutes to get our drink orders in. Once we finally ordered dinner, I was unimpressed. I split the chili rellenos with a friend. Wow - doughy and bland. That's my last trip to that restaurant for as long as I can help it. read more

Great things about Mezcal: pork tacos ($1 after 10 pm) gaucamole nice bartenders Not-so-great things about Mezcal: the rest of their menu the music volume I love, love, love the tacos al pastor at Mezcal. I've lived in San Francisco for over a decade, and I do really miss the Mexican food there, but I've never had tacos as good as Mezcal's. And after 10 pm, they're a dollar each! How can you beat that? Some beer's go on special, too. Ah, but the rest of the menu is disappointing, like, not very good at all. I give them five stars for the pork tacos, but they lose one for sucking at the rest of the menu. read more

The food is gross and I *personally* think the margarita's are too sour. I guess I should say that the food isn't actually "gross," it's just bland. I thought my meal was under-salted. BUT...the crowd is absolutely awesome. The ambiance is (in my opinion) the best thing about this place. It was the friendliest crowd I've been around in a really long time. PLEASE keep in mind: I was extremely intoxicated by the time I ate dinner. The alcohol *may* have damaged my taste buds for the evening. I don't know. read more

Okay, I feel really really bad about my initial 1-star review. I was searching for some cheap new late-night grub and wanted something other than Fat Sully's (still love you though sully's, don't worry). They have $1 tacos every night. And, because of my awful first experience, I never wanted to come back. I live down the street. And to have never eaten the $1 tacos this whole time? The first time I ventured back I was slightly tipsy after the last Elite party. The place was hoppin and had an amazing energy even for a Thursday night. My roommate and I looked at each other going "$1 tacos that we have been missing out on THIS long?!" The margarita's this time around were not nearly as watered down as the first time, but they are still a tad sour. However, they were fairly strong contributing to my already strong buzz. The taco's are awesome and fairly big for what you pay for. Please be warned, the jabanero hot sauces on the table are KILLER. So much that tears were streaming down my face and I could barely breathe. Now I know better. read more

Great date-night venue or late-night drinks and snacks stop. Low lighting, central bar, dive-y decor. Recommendations: -Come for happy hour when everything is cheaper! -Quesadillas and Nachos -Ask for the salsas in squirt guns -The margs are good, but so are the mojitos and sangria -Do some tequila and mezcal tasting - it's reasonably priced and a good way to try some things you haven't had before -Sit at the bar read more

This should be a zero star review. Matt was our server and he was the worst, rudest, person I have ever come across in my life. From the second we sat down we felt like he was trying to make us leave. We should have. We ordered queso. He brought that but no chips. We asked for chips a couple times. He refused. By the time the manager brought chips for us the queso was cold. We never got any salsa, which we got tired of asking for and gave up. Food came. I didn't get the entree I ordered. I alerted him that this wasn't what I ordered before he left the table. He goes 'oh i guess that is my fault' and he walked away. I probably would have liked what I originally ordered. I hated what he brought me. The manager offered to take 20% off our bill which was nice. But I still think the restaurant should have fixed the mistake. I won't be back. Our server wasn't busy at all. (He had 1 other table besides ours) Maybe he hates his job but don't take it out on me. There are too many restaurants on colfax and too many Mexican restaurants in Denver to put up with somewhere as awful as Mezcal. read more

I ate the scorpion!! Mezcal has some amazing margaritas. It's been a while since my trip so I can't remember the names of the few I sampled, but I would definitely go back just for the drinks. I got the last shot with one and the scorpion in the bottle. Although the animal lover in me immediately named the Scorpion Raul, our server and my dinner mates encouraged me to shoot him down, so I did, with what tequila I had left. The food was good, but it's all about the margs and convenience here. Right across the street from the Bluebird . . . you can't go wrong! read more

Well, I didn't try the food here, but I wasn't tempted to, either. Even after watching a platter of sizzling fajitas go past our table. Really, the smell didn't even do it, and I like Mexican food. The service wavered between too much and not enough, and I probably wouldn't make a habit of coming here if I lived in Denver. However! there are many things to like about the place. For one, they have a mile long list of tequilas. If you're a tequila fan like me, this place could potentially be heaven. Easily a hundred different bottles or more. Also, they actually stock actual cachaca, which makes for a mighty fine caipirinha. The place has a nice feel to it, as well. Comfy booths, lots of seating at the bar, awesome black & white photos and posters everywhere (mostly along a luchadora theme). It's seemed a lot cooler than it turned out to be. We only stayed for one round and then split. And I heard from other Denver residents that the service generally sucks. No matter. This is your spot for tequila and "Latin" speciality drinks. The prices aren't too bad, and at least it's a rad looking place. Also fairly convenient location on Colfax. (Which probably also tells you what you need to know about parking.) read more

I like this place a lot but agree it can be a little inconsistent. The food is sometimes quite good and occasionally not-so-hot. I personally like the happy-hour tacos (especially at the price), the posole, the mole, and also think their house-made salsas are very good. I usually get good, friendly service here, but I can totally relate to the other reviewers -- on the occasions when the service is bad, it can be comically so. The atmosphere and the drinks are definitely mezcal's strength. They make good caipirinhas/mojitos/margs, and I love the tequila selection. I also love they have micheladas on the menu and readily available sangrita. The vibe is cool but I do think the music they play sometimes goofs it up a little - it's usually something relatively lame (...and loud, not a good combo) that doesn't compliment the cool, semi-mysterious vibe in any way whatsoever. However, despite a few flaws, I definitely like Mezcals quite a bit. read more

I live on Colfax near this place. Competing on the same block with Atomic Cowboy, Goosetown Tavern, Odelay Tacos and R-Bar this is definitely my favorite spot on the block. The bartenders treat everyone like regulars and you are not waiting long for a "refill". The food is "good", some dishes better than others and some dishes are WORSE than others but the guacamole is outstanding. I recommend this place for the atmosphere and cocktails over the food plus they know about tequila more than other Mexican joints. There are only about 4 places in Denver with a Tequila selection this large so I challenge you to find a better one on Colfax. Some nights they even have authentic Latin bands or they mix it up with a DJ. Enjoy the patio or a booth, this is a great spot. Jackson Morris read more

If it's late, this is one of the first places to come to mind. One dollar tacos and PBR make me think of only one thing - classy joint where I can watch my buddies get shot down by every decent looking girl who even looks in their general direction (how I miss those days). In other words, good times. My buddies love getting blasted then making the pilgrammage down COlfax to order our 50 tacos. OK, our eyes are usually a little bigger than our stomachs but this place is damn good late at night. So I went there stone cold sober and discovered there is more to this place then the late night. They have a nice tequila selection. We are not talking the crap they put in the margs at the RIO but sipping tequila. Also, I discovered they have comic strips on the walls in the bathroom. I like this distraction because I don't want the guy peeing next to me actually talking to me or even acknowledging me. Food was not bad outside of the tacos. The Loma Saltado was filling enough for this guy. I will be back. read more

My friend and I split some nachos and meandered the very well-stocked tequila selection while sitting at the bar playing creeper to the yupsters taking pictures of themselves so they could say they went out "in tha hood." The nachos were actually pretty good, and the friendly barkeep allowed us to split them so that half were chicken and the other half chorizo. The chicken half was decent, but the chorizo was really freakin good. My friend and I both agreed that as nachos, they could have used some more cheese overall. Now, I don't drink anymore, but I know a boatload about tequila, and these cats also apparently know a boatloat about tequila because they had a bunch of my favorite tequilas. This probably would have been a 3 star review without the tequila selection, but if you have Don Julio 1942 and Clase Azul, you get an extra star. Prices weren't bad, service at the bar was good, food was decent, it's on Colfax for people watching and creeper playing. What more could you want? read more

It's all about the dollar tacos and cheap beers after 10pm! You can't beat two tacos and a Tecate for $5. It is the perfect late night meal for me after a hard roller derby practice! You can get veggie, chicken or pork tacos. read more

We just popped in here for a quick drink or two, but it was obvious this place was popular. The bar and the restaurant were completely packed with a good looking crowd, the food that I did see looked amazing. The bartenders were quick and nice. The drinks were well poured and the atmosphere was exciting. They also have an outdoor street-side patio. read more
