Birria tacos
Savanna R.

The food here is delicious! I enjoyed the birria tacos - yuummyy!!! Only downside was the service. It took 15 minutes to be greeted and get drinks/utensils. Would still come back for these tacos!

Bar area with good selection of tequilas.

Going down the drain?? Very disappointed!! They use the lowest quality of beef for their skirt steak in the molcajete I ordered. Hubby ordered the New York and got three layers of strip steak instead. The seasonings are good but seriously??? NOT a New York steak but charged for it. We asked to speak with the manager, a guy named Tanner with a man-bun and he didn't seem to give a hoot. He apologized but that was it. Have a nice evening!! We will not recommend this place to our friends.

Reliably good food and service. Full bar with lots of specials. The staff is always very positive and accommodating. My favorite has become the enchilada plate - smothered green, with a side of guacamole. The chips are crispy and perfectly fried - not oily. The salsa has a nice kick. I do recommend going early as they get very busy and have a wait on the weekend. They just opened a roof top seating area that looks very nice.

Taco Salad lunch portion

I've been here before and I enjoyed it. We were seated in the bar area and watched some football white waiting for our food. The refried beans and salsa was delicious. Unfortunately, that was as good as it was going to get. We ordered the beef taco salad and were disappointed with the serving size at the flavor was just not good. I wish I had the tacos.

Enchilada Plate (3)

We went there for first time and really enjoyed the food. We had Enchilada Plate (3) and beef strew which was all good. They had a balloon artist for kids which was so fun. It seems balloon artist come every Wednesday. Not too busy on Wednesday either.

In the past I have really enjoyed my experiences at Real De Minas! I typically visit the other locations in Montbello and Aurora. I wasn't very impressed with the food or service at this Real De Mina's. I had the Pollo Poblano and it wasn't very flavorful. It was one of those "oh ok" meals. Everyone else in our patty said their food was just ok. While I service was ok, we asked several times for more chips/salsa and everytime we asked we were asked by the waiter if we were "ready to order". It was clear that we were waiting on another member of our party to arrive. Not sure I'll go back to this location. The other locations were better in taste, and overall service.

The food at this place is ok, but the drinks are bomb!!!! Really really good! The service is on point. I can tell by my own experience they are very nice, the place is super inviting and the music is amazing. Margarita's house were delicious especially during sunset time.

Always delicious but services is crap.
Alex L.

Service is pure crap but at least their food is delicious. I rather go to Los Dos Potrillos for so many reasons. Ambiance is not appealing either. When you walk in, they'll just stare you down. No smile, no greeting, nothing. I would still go in a pinch but definitely not bringing any friends or out of town guests here that's for sure. I rather drive the distance to anywhere else. When you arrive you will be immediately judged. They put all the non-Hispanic customers in the small room by the hostess stand and fill that room first before filling the main dining room. On the flip side and already mentioned, their food is fantastic and always served hot and yummy. Even their chips and salsa are great. I have never had a bad plate of food. Just have to wait 10+ minutes for any drink orders and their disdain shows when you just order water. Your level of service goes down and you will have to wait even longer for any refills, to-go boxes or even your final receipt. I have been with friends, out of town guests and even solo. All those visits have been less than desirable. People keep returning for the food and that's it. I'll space out my visits but doubt I'll be back any time soon from the aforementioned experiences.

Tostada de camarón
Jeffry C.

So I got to check out this place. Sat at the bar which had plenty of seating. I was greeted and helped by Andrea and Alejandro in which we great bartenders: always had a smile, always making sure I had a drink , very very happy with their service. Michilada 9.9/10 Skinny Margarita 9.5/10 I started with the camarón tostada and let me say super delicious , love the kick of jalapeño ( and I don't like spicy to much ) and had so much flavor. I then had the steak fajitas and they were good.. kinda of what to expect from fajitas . Overall this place was a winner when it comes to Mexican food ... I for sure will be coming back

Barbacoa Burritos
Justin S.

Despite its cryptic name (at least to a non-Mexican/non-Spanish speaker), this is a standard sit down/menus/table salsa/waiter type of Mexican restaurant... on the surface level. Upon closer inspection, there are several things that differentiate this establishment from the rest of them. Let me just say, as a die-hard and life-long Los Dos Portrillos customer, I'd consider this place to be in extremely heated competition with them. They do first impressions well. The table salsa is delicious and spicy, in the running for top 3 in the state. They also give you this bowl of cabbage/imitation crab/chipotle mayo that is delicious and you wouldn't find anywhere else. The drink menu is huge, they have a large list of beer, cocktails, flights... whatever you want to drink, they have it here. Their food menu is huge as well, but the unique thing it has is authentic Mexican staples like aguachille, tripa, buche, lengua, barbacoa and a ton more I'm not remembering. In fact, I ordered the barbacoa smothered burrito and it was hands down the best burrito I've had in Colorado. The meat in the barbacoa was so soft, tender, flavorful... it was a real barbacoa. My advice to everyone at Mexican restaurants like this is to always stick with the chicken or beef burritos/chimichangas/enchiladas. But the menu here really pushes the seafood hard on you. So we went outside our normal routine and got aguachille and seafood enchiladas. And compared to other places the seafood was quite good, but not amazing. The aguachille was flavorful but a little mushy, probably should cooked in the lime juice for a few more hours. There is much better aguachille to be found in Denver. The seafood enchiladas reminded me a lot of clam chowder with the white sauce and generic fish taste. Both seafood dishes were good, but would I get them again, probably not. Definitely better seafood than Los Dos though. So, skip the seafood, go for the barbacoa, go for the drinks, you'll be set here. The vibe is also high energy. It's loud in here as they play modern urban music instead of the generic mariachi. The service is also great, very on top of things and always asking to refill the salsa bowl. Looking forward to coming back.

A lot of places popped up, but this Mexican restaurant really stood out -- great reviews and the food pictures looked amazing. It's about 13 minutes from the airport, which made it super convenient. From the outside, it looks small, but once you walk in, it's surprisingly spacious. We were seated immediately, and our server was absolutely phenomenal -- so friendly, attentive, and welcoming. For an appetizer, we ordered the queso fundido with chorizo (you can choose corn or flour tortillas). This is one of my favorite dishes to get at any Mexican restaurant if they offer it, and this one did not disappoint. The cheese was perfectly melty and stretchy, and the chorizo had great flavor that paired so well with it. Wrapping that cheesy, savory goodness in a warm tortilla? So good. For my main dish, I ordered the quesabirria -- corn tortillas filled with birria and cheese, fried crispy, and served with consommé for dipping. It was decent, but I will say it didn't have quite as much flavor as I'm used to with quesabirria. Still enjoyable, just could've used a bit more seasoning. The beans were actually delicious and full of flavor, but the rice was a little bland and could've used some salt. Overall, the service was amazing, the restaurant was clean, and even though it was busy, everything came out in a timely manner. The prices were also very reasonable -- definitely not expensive for the quality and portions. I would absolutely come back to try other dishes. With just a little more seasoning in some areas, it would easily be a five-star spot for me!

Unfortunately, the customer service was disappointing. We were told our total was $32, but when I paid with a card, the final charge came to $34.93. When I asked why the amount was different, I was told it was because I paid with a card. I understand that taxes and fees may apply, but customers should be told the full amount before being charged. What bothered me the most was the attitude. When I politely asked for clarification, the person cooking responded in a rude and arrogant way, saying, "You know that in the United States you have to pay sales tax." I wasn't questioning whether sales tax exists, I was simply asking why the amount I was quoted was different from the amount I was charged. I also noticed that my receipt showed a Denver sales tax rate of 9.15%, even though the food truck was located in Aurora on Hampden, which added to the confusion. The food is excellent, but the customer service and lack of clear communication left a negative impression. I would return for the food, but I hope they work on treating customers with more respect and explaining charges more clearly.
