    Hash skillet
    Meagan N.

    Came here for brunch on a busy Saturday afternoon with a group of 6 to celebrate my friend's birthday and Necio did not disappoint. The food came out shockingly fast, the drinks were strong and generously poured, and the menu had so many options it felt like a choose-your-own-brunch-adventure (with no bad endings). The real highlight for me was the skillet hash my partner ordered. Sure I committed to the protein bomb that was the Philly Cheesesteak omelette, but one look at that bubbling skillet loaded with cheese, potatoes, fajitas, chorizo, and topped with a runny yolk practically begging to be broken...and my fork developed a mind of its own. I tried to be polite, but let's be honest, we were sharing the second it hit the table. Drinks were flowing, portions were generous, and everyone left full and happy. Big points for the vibe and the service too, our server was super attentive even while juggling what looked like half of Sunnyside. The only reason for the missing star was that we had made a reservation online and even confirmed it over the phone, but when we showed up they couldn't find it. Bit of a plot twist but luckily we only waited about 10 minutes so no hangry crash outs from our side. I'll definitely be back (probably with a screenshot of my res in hand and an extra fork ready for the hash)!!

    Amazing food, the chorizo was delicious in our food. Salsa had so much flavor. I enjoyed everything being so fresh and healthy. I wish I would have tried some of their sweet pancakes or French toast though! Great service - our waiter was very amicable & I loved that he was able to speak with us in English & Spanish. The outdoor seating area was BEAUTIFUL! It was great to enjoy the beautiful weather outside with the flowers around on the patio. It is also Slightly covered which helps protect from the sun Would definitely come back again if I lived in Colorado :)

    Necio is a spot I go to every now and again. Great micheladas and decent food! Went for brunch one time and it was great! It can get a little busy but we got a spot easily. Recently, we went for a birthday dinner and it was fantastic. I got enchiladas and my partner got tacos. The enchiladas were fantastic. Necio is a good place for Mexican food with a decent bar.

    Need brunch plans? Say less. Necio in Sunnyside is family-owned and just dropped a bunch of new brunch items that had me ready to cancel the rest of my day. Let's dig in! what we tried: Queso Fundido: melted asadero, chorizo, jalapeños, cilantro, and flour tortillas--basically a warm hug in a skillet Barbacoa Hash Skillet: country potatoes, bell peppers, tender beef barbacoa, topped with eggs and no bad decisions Molcajete Flight: three baby tortas living their best lives with steak & beans, eggs & chorizo, rajas & cheese Chilaquiles de Ribeye: yes, there's ribeye on this chilaquiles mountain and no, I'm not sharing Necio Benedict: poached egg on jalapeño cheddar cornbread, smothered in hollandaise--respectfully, wow Tres Leches Pancakes: soft, milky, sweet--aka dangerous. They hand you extra condensed milk like they know who you are Cajeta Stuffed French Toast: brioche + cajeta + cookie crumble = sugar high of dreams Tamarind Margarita: spicy, tangy, salty, and topped with tamarindo strings--flavor explosion in a glass Michelada: bold, savory, rimmed with Mexican candy, and yes that is a slice of bacon Grapefruit, orange, and cranberry mimosas: choose your fighter best bites: The tres leches pancakes were criminally good and I was full and still kept going like it was a food challenge. The barbacoa skillet? Flavorful, tender, and those over easy eggs brought it all together like a brunch symphony and I was in the first row. And the tamarind marg? Top-tier. I'm still thinking about her. I miss her. Chef Luis just rolled out the new brunch menu, so make plans and go hungry. You're gonna leave full and happy.

    Supposed open hours, but they don't follow these times.

    We arrived at 7:30pm on Sunday and they said they were closed. The sign on the door shows 9pm. They just lost a long time customer.

    Some of the best Mexican food in Denver! Coming from LA, I've been on the hunt for a good michi and Mexican food. So glad we finally found this spot!

    Ceviche
    Vanessa D V.

    This place is Amazing!!! We flew in from Arizona and came here back to back 2 days in a row! Alondra I believe was her name went above and beyond! They sang to my boyfriend on his birthday! The food and bottomless mimosas were !! I could eat here everyday! The place was located in a cozy neighborhood in the Highlands . So welcoming! It was a vibe! We walked 30 minutes to this place and would do it again! Walking was not an option after those mimosas kicked it lol!!

    How cute is this place?! Stopped in for a quick drink before dinner and am sad we had dinner reservations because I wanted to try the food. It all looked and smelled amazing. Not super busy for a Tuesday night, so staff were super nice and helpful. Had the Necio-Rita- half price on happy hour btw- and it was tasty!! Tajin rimmed on the rocks was the way to go. Will definitely be back to try the food along with another margarita.

    Stopped in for a quick beverage. Service was super friendly. Happy hour runs 3-6pm Tuesday thru Friday with both beverages and bites. The Necio-Rita (House Margarita) is a smooth blend of Herradura Reposado tequila, Cointreau, and fresh lime juice. A steal at $7! It's kept cool in an adorable clay pot. We skipped the chips and salsa since we were headed to dinner but they looked good. Love the Mona Lisa in a sombrero over the bar!

    The Necio Trio
    McKenna S.

    I was honestly pretty disappointed about taking my friend here. First time I came, it was pretty decent Mexican food and okay service. This time, I ordered the "Necio Trio" of dips/sauces with my chips-- the cheese tasted store bought, the ceviche tasted like a Bloody Mary sauce, and the guac was the only thing that was okay. The SERVICE was AWFUL. There were maybe 7 tables full at this restaurant and it took probably 50 min to get our actual meal, thank goodness they offered chips. Really wish the service was better here. And food.

    Pretty good food. They charge for more chips and salsa which was a bummer. Drinks were good they were very light on the pour.

    Chicken Quesadilla
    Christopher Z.

    Long time customer. Really disappointed with this last visit. Ordered food to go online...40-45 minute wait. Arrive at the 45 minute mark. They said their system wasn't working all day, so they didn't have it, and I needed to reorder. Things happen but there was no apology or remorse. We got offered a glass of water to wait another 15-20 minutes for our food. If your system is down, don't accept to-go orders online. I guess it's too much to ask for a worker or manager to come say, "we're so sorry. We're embarrassed that we don't have your order ready. Please forgive us and we'll have your order out shortly."Customer service is just non-existent these days. We ordered 2 chicken quesadillas. One had sauce and one didn't. Will go elsewhere in the future.

    2 Chile Relleno
    Savanna B.

    Im very glad I gave Necio another chance as my second experience was much better that my first, md given how busy they are, is probably more indicative of a typical experience. We ordered ceviche to start and is was pretty good and was a huge portion. Then we shared the combination fajitas, which were also a nice portion. All of the steak and chicken and shrimp were good- sometimes I feel like restaurants use their trash meat for fajitas but not Necio. The margaritas were the right balance between tasty and strong. Finally, our server, Andres, was very nice and we appreciated the great service!

Warm, happy to have us there, easy to talk to. I mentioned to my friend that I was thinking about a bloody mary, and a minute or two later Ryan asked if he should get that bloody started. He'd caught it in passing conversation, not because he was hovering. That's a hard balance to strike and he nailed it all afternoon. The drinks were great. Nothing fancy on my end, a bloody mary, a shaken screwdriver. Not too strong or weak. Sounds simple, but a lot of bartenders can't consistently hit it! We all got eggs your way, simple stuff done well. The roasted fingerling potatoes were crispy outside, fluffy inside, super good!! The strawberry jam was giving homemade, but I didn't confirm. Overall, Ryan made the visit. Calm presence, good company, and there's nothing better than a brunch seat at his bar next to those big open windows!

This was just for lunch, but started out sharing the crab croquettes. Fluffy and lightly fried with a perfect mayo-based dipping sauce. A great start. I had the Koji fried chicken sandwich that was very good and we shared a spectacular gooey butter cake with a dollop of vanilla ice cream for a shared dessert. The stand-outs were the crab croquettes and the gooey butter cake. Both were incredibly good. Would definitely return and try some of the more entree-ish looking things for dinner. You should definitely give this place a try. Ciao, David

Location (4 stars) This restaurant is downtown near the convention center. parking is pricy if you valet park at the hotel. Last year it was around $40. Parking in the lot across the street for $25 dollars Easter Sunday. If you use a walker, I would not recommend the parking lot across the street. Food (3 Stars) The Thanksgiving buffet is the best one. I would rate that buffet a (4). The Christmas and Easter buffet are pretty low key. There is a carving station (ham and prime rib). There is an omelet station. Dessert bar is decorative. Cheesecake was delicious. The warming station with potatoes, sausage etc. leaves much to be desired. The charcuterie station is sparse. They offer unlimited mimosas for an additional $25. Service (5 stars) Staff are extremely friendly. Cleanliness (2 stars) My only complaint, I saw a tabletop being cleaned off with a rag used to clean the chairs and then under the table on the floor and on to the next tabletop. I'm just a little picky about that. Especially since folks these days go commando and wear short attire, and you know their parts are on the chair and now spread to tabletops. Wiping up the crumbs off the floor with same rag simply through me over the edge. Atmosphere (4 stars) Spacious uncrowded environment. Nice decor. Bright with large windows.

    During the last few Denver Restaurant Week events, I've tried to take the offerings as an…read moreopportunity to sample restaurants that I haven't tried, or otherwise may not try, and see if I can add to my list of favorites. I saw Former Saint on CBS News, and the menu and food looked incredible. In particular, that white chocolate blueberry cheesecake was something I know my hubby would look forward to all week! I loved the idea of local food and fresh homemade dishes. Sounds healthy, after a week of potential over-indulgence at other restaurant week venues. An additional bonus was that it is located right near the Denver Convention Center and the Performing Arts Center. This has become a dry spot for fine dining, with even the choices on Larimer Square growing more thin, giving rise to the inability to get reservations at favorites like Tamayo and Rioja prior to a show. I go to performances frequently with friends, and despite my rule to avoid hotel restaurants (Former Saint is in the Hyatt Regency), I thought I'd scope out Former Saint as a place to take my friends before the next symphony or Children's Chorale or ballet or broadway performance. I must say, the jury is still out. Former Saint was a Jekyll and Hyde of courses. Parking was not difficult (Yay, maybe I can park here prior to my shows, if I grab a bite first). There is a large garage, and the promise of validation from the restaurant. The ambiance of the restaurant is typical hotel restaurant. Booths, tables, old and a bit drab. Except for the bar. Oh, my! The bar has this BEAUTIFUL copper creation above it, adding so much industrial character to the space! I was in awe looking at it, as it appeared to bring craft suds to the bartender's taps. I didn't ask how it worked, as it wasn't clear how the beer separation and dispensing worked, but it was a great centerpiece and spectacle for the place. I do wish I had investigated more about this architectural marvel, and will do so if I return. For restaurant week, my husband chose the Lobster Ravioli, Ribeye, and blueberry cheesecake (as predicted). I chose the Gotham salad, roasted chicken, and key lime tart. The lobster ravioli was nice; my husband was surprised that it was a toasted ravioli, but enjoyed it. My salad was full of beautiful greens, pears, walnuts, and feta. No scrimping here! The dressing was light and sweet/sour. The pears were a bit unripe and crisp, to the point that I was having trouble identifying exactly what fruit I was eating, but other than that, the salad was beautiful, healthy, and ample. My husband's ribeye steak was a nice cut, done to his liking. Slivered hash browns were underneath with a nice green chimichurri on top and some sliced Fresnos adding a welcome kick to the dish. My chicken was delightful. 1/2 chicken on the bone, seasoned nicely, and with a pan sauce. The breast was super-tender and delicious. It came atop cheesy grits, which was a yummy substitute for a mashed potato. I also was served side salad of curly lettuce and fennel. I probably didn't need more salad, but I was glad to have the healthy side on my plate. I will say that this salad was over-seasoned. The chicken and grits were great, but the salad too salty. My husband ordered a glass of J. Lohr Cabernet, which was a very nice find on the wine list, as far as a pairing for his ribeye. That said, the glass cost $30! A bit much, I might say. The real detractor, unfortunately, was dessert. The blueberry cheesecake looked nothing like the beautiful creamy white cheesecake accented throughout by purple blueberries, which I saw on the CBS News clip. My husband was served a very small solid purple slice, overcome with whipped cream dollops. This cheesecake had been uncovered in the fridge too long, with sort of a skin on it. My husband ate almost none of it. My key lime tart was similarly over-adorned with whipped cream, although I had some nice raspberries on top. The tart also seemed overexposed to the cool air, with the thickening of a skin on top. It was a very disappointing way to end a nice meal, and belied the healthy, homemade, craft theme. High points of this experience include the well-crafted and healthy entrees, the fact that we could see the convention center right outside our window (i.e., the location is perfect for pre-event or -theater), the $3.00 validated parking fee, and that beautiful copper tap system. Will the pros outweigh the cons? Will we be back with friends? Time will tell.

I had the D&C Burger and it was juicy, rich, and had some great accompanying fries. I usually try to give a more in depth idea of cocktails available, but Death & Co has such a diverse menu with so many amazing craft cocktails that I can't offer that this time . . . you'll have to go in and see it for yourself!
