Clean place, not sure how you can say Mexican but no homemade corn or flour tortilla. If you want to come take a picture with a bottle then yes it's a good place for it. read more

Came here for a birthday, made a reservation for 7:00. Didn't get seated till 7:45. After sitting for about 20 minutes without anyone checking in, we placed our drinks but didn't receive them till after our food (which took at least anothed hour). Half of them were made wrong, and we were missing several. The wait staff seemed annoyed when we asked for our drinks to be corrected, and even slammed down a drink next to me. My friend was mocked for asking for sugar on her margarita, and after (another) 30 minute delay, she finally received what she hoped to be a sugar margarita but found to her dismay, it was still salt. 20% gratuity tip was included with the bill. They threw on a few extra charges for "top shelf liquor" on the house margaritas, and once again we were faced with attitude when we asked about it. Overall this is one of the poorest services we've received. We even saw the manager walking around asking other tables how everything was, but we were ignored. We were a group of 12 (with a reservation) and were super polite until we received the check, and once again were treated with rudeness. I would definitely recommend going somewhere else with your friends for a birthday :( Also, no birthday dessert. Confused, sad. Not a lot of incentive to treat guests kindly when automatic 20% gratuity is included regardless. read more

My wife and I just had a wonderful brunch experience! I'm going to start with a negative to explain what, in my view, makes Necio Mexican Kitchen great. My friends and I talk about, what we call, 'unjustified pretension'; it's when a restaurant tries to dress things up and charge extra with no underwriting substance. I very much dislike when a cuisine, known for peasant food or street food, is dressed up with ambiance and aesthetics, and then sold at more expensive prices than it is worth. The poor food must feel like Tom Sawyer sitting in church made to wear clothes in which he is wholly uncomfortable. Indian restaurants do this often selling the same exact food at different prices, their evening fare being more expensive (it is often the left overs of the day's earlier lunch buffet). Necio Mexican Kitchen is none of that. Necio has all the characteristics of an upscale restaurant, with an attention to detail on every plate (the menu being well though out too), but minus the pretension. The restaurant is a place that feels good; it's a place one wants to be. The food is wonderful, the ambience is amazing, the service is efficient with good personality, and the prices are reasonable, reflecting a sincere self-awareness which makes the restaurant all the more charming. Everything we had to eat was carefully thought out, and displayed a flavor profile which had each item being a perfect representation of what Necio claimed it to be; the lluevos rancheros, for example, were a perfect version of the dish, with the green chile being a respectable tribute to Denver fare. Okay, now I am going to be politically incorrect for just a moment. I will address something we all think about when considering ethnic cuisine, and which is a mark we all think about, but don't always admit out loud (I am using my last name as a pass for permission to say the following)... The vast majority of the clientele present, while my wife and I visited, were obviously excited to be there, and were Latino. The food's audience is largely the cuisine from whom it claims to come; its authenticity is verified. read more

Food was great, service was good, and drinks were pretty. Unfortunately, we paid over $200 for drinks that didn't even give us a buzz. Had the 12 shot tower ($120) and 2 margaritas ($50) each. Supposedly 6 shots in them but friend didn't even have a buzz. Too bad because we were exited about our experience until the drinks and price didn't match. read more

Definitely my new top favorite Mexican restaurant. The food was exquisite! Everything had such great flavor. I am really picky when it comes to enchilada sauce, I haven't found anywhere else in Denver that makes a good one ( I make my own). But theirs is great. They have a unique drink selection as well, so fun and yummy. Everything down to the chips and salsa was so good. Can't wait to go back and try more dishes and drinks read more

I been here a few other times and it was good. But today.... I got here at 12:30 pm, I'm told it would be a 40 min wait. 55 mins and no text or nada! We decided to walk in to see if we needed to wait more time, so they sat us down ! We sit and wait 15 mins before we get asked what we want to drink . Then ordered food another 10 mins later. Waited a whole 50 mins to get our food! Drinks empty by the time we get our food. It's now 3:30 ! This lunch turned into an event! HORRIBLE SERVICE! And it's only two of us here 3 hours to get lunch! It's not worth it ! read more

Restaurant is overpriced. Although I understand the hype for this place (e.i-nice brunch place and great menu options) the flautas I ordered were mediocre and the pina colada tasted just like straight up juice. The starter (flautas) and the drink cost me $35 dollars with tip included. Too overpriced. Again--the flautas were a starter, not entree. read more

Necio's was great. Food was hot and fresh, service was fast and friendly and the drinks were amazing. I highly recommend. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in town. read more

Bad service, bad staffing try to use the restroom twice and they denied because they were cleaning it when the restaurant was in full capacity it took me about 20 minutes to use the bathroom. Way overpriced and the food look that it was not fresh, the meat look like it was made days ago read more

Service was not good. The food was ok. Had the carnitas plate. Received our food, 10 minutes later the waiter comes and checks on us. Over priced! Will not be back. read more

Service & atmosphere: this place was really nice and the waiter was attentive and answered all our questions because it was our first time visiting. Drinks: yummy the drinks were so good we finished them before we could even think about getting a picture. So many options of liquor, beer, and cocktails. I had a hard time picking a drink because they all sounded delicious. Also, the drinks were pretty unique :)) Food: WOWWW! So much flavor, you get a lot of food! We all devoured our plates and left no crumbs of our shared appetizer. We left so satisfied, I'm definitely coming back and I will be recommending this place to everyone I know! read more

This place is quite cute. The moment we came in, we were asked if we wanted brunch or dinner. We chose brunch, and now I'm curious about their dinner menu. Our waitress was very sweet and knowledgeable about the menu. But wow their brunch menu was filled with many unique and fun items that my boyfriend and I wanted to explore! We ended up getting mole enchilada, pancake flight, and I got nicio eggs Benedict. The enchiladas were my boyfriend's favorite and he said it rivaled with an extremely good quality one we had in Texas before. When I tried it, I can see why he enjoyed it because it was packed with flavors! My Benedict was good, but it was a bit boring in comparison to the enchilada and tasted very standard. I wouldn't get it again. The pancake flight was my favorite. It was fun trying the different flavors of the pancakes and I kept going back to the chocolate chip one! Absolutely drool worthy. A different table ordered the French toast which also looked good. Not bad of a place to stop by. read more

Trying to find something to get for a late(8:00pm) and decided to try this again. We ordered a chicken enchilada dinner and a quesadillia. I couldn't do anything except laugh when I saw the food they gave us. For $30 ? Everything tasted old, it was extremely dry. The refried beans tasted exactly like the refried beans in a can , exactly. I have been trying to come up with one word to describe this meal well......the word is "Pathetic"! In the to go container it looked like a TV dinner and tasted like a TV dinner. Last time I ordered from here I ordered the tamale, it was delicious. That was a few years back though. This was a bad experience not just because of the disappointing food but the fact that I am disabled and live on "700.00 a month, I wish I would have saved the one of few meals I eat out and spent "30.00 at the grocery store. read more

I'm super glad my friend invited me to Necio for a late lunch because Necio was an absolute delight. The menu has a lot of variety and there are some really delicious plant based options. I had the sope and it was very flavorful! The chicken and Al pastor were tender. Not to mention, the dish arrived beautifully platted. Andres was so lovely and extremely helpful in making suggestions on the menu as well as some tasty cocktails. The restaurant was packed, but this did not delay us getting our food. Necio is a really great place to have some food Mexican food and cocktails. I look forward to coming back to enjoy something else on their menu. read more

Necio Mexican Kitchen - Carne asada on the Mexican Fries - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Hi this is new adventure for my daughter (Francina checked in) and me - we were so excited - its her Pre-Birthday dinner! Much to our disappointment it was a 5-10 star thumbs down - can we rate that? The waiter advised us to order our dinner with our appetizer because the kitchen was backed up. So we order our cocktails, appetizer and entree - can you imagine what happened next? Yep! All 3 came at once! And when I mentioned the fct that we couldn't eat a hot appetizer and out hat entree at one time - the waiter simply stated - Sorry its the jit hens fault - Wait What!?!?! Nevertheless, our dinner for 2 without tortillas for our fajitas landed up being a cold appetizer and entree dinner!! This was absolutely not a kitchen issue as much as a waitstaff issue! Definitely not our favorite for a very pricey disappointment!! read more

We had a good experience here today at lunch. Andy took care of us and he did a nice job with service. We tried ceviche, sopes, and pozole soup. Everything we had was very fresh, tasty, nicely prepared. I was not a big fan of the minute maid lemonade, but my wife was truly charmed by the Tamarindo margarita. read more

Great margs. Cocktails were On point! Friendly staff. The fajitas were abysmal. The meat was terribly bland and cooked to death, dry as a bone. The bill was much higher than the menu stated for dishes. I do not recommend at all. read more

Excellent food.... Horrible service And I mean the worst service I've ever had at any restaurant at any place at any time ever!!!! I don't mind paying high prices for great food, but I do mind being treated like crap. Will not return read more

This place is so good the food is amazing. the service was slow and we didn't get our drinks right away or even checked on throughout our meal but maybe it was just an off day for someone so I will not be to hard on that. read more

An enjoyable lunch. Started with complimentary chips and salsa. A delicious carnitas chimichanga. With rice and beans. The sauce smothering the chimi was very Mexican and not Tex-Mex, nor AZ-Mex. Service was OK. Good have been more attentive. + Hefty Libertyware flatware + Cloth napkins (mostly polyester, though) + Wi-Fi (but the waitress was clueless about the password) + Patio with effective misters + Music - Mexican. Relaxing. + Apple Pay - No XX on draft, but the menu says it is. If you don't have, then change the menu. read more

Walked in with a group of 8, three being kids. It was pretty empty but we were greeted with stares. After asking the person behind the bar to be seated, I'm only assuming he called the supervisor and she had the biggest attitude. The food was sub par and service were overall terrible. Wouldn't recommend especially after 4 with a large group. read more

Omg. Found this place by accident. What a find. They still have Dos Artes tequila and food was delicious. I would highly recommend. Also energy was nice. read more

The best Mexican restaurant I have patronized in years. My daughter recommended this place for my birthday. It did not disappoint. The waiter was attentive and professional. Appetizers and food was phenomenal. There was a wide selection of drinks. ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. Before I leave Denver I will be back. read more

I love that this restaurant is tucked into my neighborhood! We've gone for dinner twice now and have been impressed by both the food and the service. The jalapeño cilantro margarita is refreshing and not overly sweet. The salsa trio, guacamole & queso starters are all great (guacamole bowl is huge though). We ordered fajitas (shrimp/chicken combo) and tacos al pastor. Both were delicious! The fajitas could have fed 3 people- it was a huge portion. My only warning is that they're closed on Monday and Tuesday so don't get burned by that. Looking forward to trying their brunch very soon! read more

I love this restaurant. Super fun and vibrant drinks. Kid friendly. And lots of vegetarian options. I will always come back here. The only problem I had was we had a reservation for 12:30 and took a whole hour to get seated. Maybe don't take reservations if your going to fill them up. read more

Amazing service. Amazing margarita. AMAZING vegan food and tons of options, more than the usual "veggie" filling with no cheese or sour cream or anything good. This is the only Mexican restaurant I'll go to for this reason alone! Thank you guys!! read more

So they've upped their game on the menu over the last year while we were hiding away in quarantine. Ok, it's mostly that they have molcajete, which we love...although tonight they forgot the cactus and green onion. It was crazy busy, but still. We also tried the rib eye steak, which was definitely not worth $30+. I want Beet salad was underwhelming. Chicken tings taco was good. read more

Very disappointing take out experience last night. Ordered on DoorDash for pickup for my fiancé and my anniversary. She has a severe dairy allergy and she ordered enchiladas without cheese or sour cream. First of all, they said the food would be ready in 25 minutes after ordering. 5 minutes after placing the order, the food is ready. I drive over to pick it up and of course the food is cold and the order is wrong. The guy checking me out is super rude and insists on me showing him my order three times on my doordash app. He says "okay this is yours- no cheese on the enchiladas". I get home, food is cold and there is in fact cheese. I try calling back and Necio doesn't answer the phone. Such a frustrating experience. Food isn't bad but they make it so fast and can't read dietary restriction instructions. And they don't even answer the phone- I was seeing if they could remake the order so I could drive back there but seemingly that's not even an option. Too bad because we had a nice experience here once before, dining on the patio during covid. I doubt they even care about this experience so we won't be back. read more

Bad service, food was good, we were there for a my daughters birthday, which was the worst thing to do! We want to sit at the patio, hostess say yes and another lady there told the hostess the patio is closed, 5 minutes later they started sitting people at the patio, and we had a reservation and they didn't ask or care about it, drinks took long food also, but the food was very good. This place was viral to celebrate birthdays and stuff like that but I don't recommend it! read more

Went there sunday, reservations were allowed at 7:30, we arrived and had the worst service ever. was there to celebrate a 21st birthday, we were ready to drink & have fun ( like we always do) they closed at 8, idk why they would accept 7:30 reservations? messed up 2 orders! i've gone for the longest time and that one time was just disappointing. We had 1 drink and felt so pressured to hurry and leave because they told us so. I would suggest to not allow 7:30 reservations if you guys close at 8. read more

Wow! Came here on a reference from MyVisionNutrition, couldn't be more pleased! Food was fantastic, got to us crazy fast, drinks were delicious, service friendly and great atmosphere. WILL come again! read more

My daughter and I went here for lunch on a Tuesday. The tacos were discounted $2 for taco Tuesday. We have to say, the food was so delicious! We each had 4 different tacos and the plantains with black beans. Each different protein on every taco we had was done to perfection. The pork belly was my favorite but that shrimp taco was also right up there... oh heck, I don't know, the carnitas was just as good. My daughter loved the el pastor. We will definitely be back. I had to return to work so we couldn't enjoy the margaritas but next time I'm trying those too. I'm pretty sure it was the owner who was serving us and interacting with us. Very attentive and very nice! Oh... I really love this part of town as well. It's got a charm to it making this a great place for a business lunch or even a romantic date. read more

Tap tap tap. And I mean that in more than one way. 1. That was the server tapping on my wife's shoulder with a togo container. Say what? We had just gotten our food and realized the burger was not too kid friendly so we quickly ordered a chicken quesadilla for them. Yes, we would've need a box ASAP because our table was running out of room but tap tap tap? No no no. Tap? Nope, no tap beer but I wasn't told that by our server until I was ready for a second beer. I looked at the beer menu and ordered something that was on tap but received a bottle. Weird. When it was time for a second, I asked what was available on tap and she then told us that the tap was not working. Say what? Let's start from the beginning shall we? Made rez for 5pm for four -- patio. Got there a tad early but that was no problem. We got sat in a super cute patio and were handed menus. Like whoa. Physical menus. That was little mind blowing -- we haven't been out much since March but everywhere that we have gone, we've pretty much had to scan a QR code or look online. We wanted to go a tad early because we wanted to join in on happy hour plus we have two little ones but HH wasn't mentioned to us until we asked about it. I ordered the wings -- on the main menu there was only one choice of sauce and the one I wanted -- some passionfruit habanero glaze or something of the rather. What we got were traditional buffalo wings -- confused!!! How come our server didn't ask? Beats me. She did ask if we wanted to send them back and I'm not that kinda dude. She did offer some mango habanero sauce on the side and it was tasty. Eating a mess of wings but then realized we didn't have napkins...had to ask for those. We actually got roll ups which was weird as well...I think? Been so used to getting paper napkins, one time use condiments and what not lately. The wife is a bit of a health nut but for once, she wanted crispy rellenos. I was shocked! I got the seafood enchiladas and a pork belly taco. PB was deelish!!! My enchiladas were good as well -- octopus was tender and the salsa verde was aight as well. The rice was dry and the beans were, beans. Wifee on the other hand was not happy -- she was expecting two giant chiles stuffed with cheese but she got two eggrolls stuff with cheese and I think there was a sliver of green chile in each but I'm not so sure. Same sides. My wife has been talking about wanting to go here for the longest time and we finally did. I feel as though we struck out though. I don't like writing negative reviews and especially during these times where restaurants need all the help they can get but Necio fell way short. Pluses: -- ambiance (cute patio) -- pretty food -- happy hour (but remember to ask to see the HH menu) -- even though we got the incorrect wings, they were good -- portions Negatives -- ambiance (music was blaring Shakira's greatest hits, on repeat) -- food -- service (I'm not expecting to share my life story or hear yours but talk a bit about the menu, make recs, know that the burger might not be the best choice for a 5 and 2 year old, if I'm ordering a beer on tap but your tap ain't working, let the man know). If there is more than one type of sauce for your wings, can I make my own decisions? Wife felt bad when we left -- I just laughed. We can strike out once in awhile but I am not sure if we'll be coming back. Maybe for HH and that pork belly taco. p.s. I had the burger for lunch today. It's pretty darn good and for $8 on HH with fries, I'd eat it again. read more

I come here regularly for lunch, the quality of food is excellent, good portion sizes and priced very reasonably. Great atmosphere.

Per usual, I waited until the last minute to make a reservation for Mother's Day. I was happy to get a spot here, even though I had never been. It was wonderful! The ceviche was delicious and our waiter was very kind. They were busy, but he made sure to take good care of us. I can't wait to come back with friends for a margarita on the patio! read more
