We were immediately seated, no wait ...unlike the other nearby places. Ordered chips and guacamole/salsa to start. Chips were clearly store bought and salsa tasted like Prego pasta sauce. We both ordered the taco salad. The waiter was nice enough to offer beans in one salad after requesting 'no meat'. Both salads came in crispy shells with a little bit of shredded lettuce, guacamole and sour cream (cheese doesn't even get an honorable mention as there was either none or so little it wasn't visible) It was kind of like they ran out of veggies. They didn't have cilantro and extra onions ordered came on one salad, about 1/2 teaspoon. One salad had liquid in the bottom of it...did you forget to drain the lettuce? We both ended up getting sick after eating here. The service was poor. I will say the dining area, although a strange set up, seemed clean (but there were just a few others in the dining area eating). There are several places on Public Road that are better, there is a reason this one is not crowded and the others are! read more

Some friends of mine and I tried this place for the first time. The server kept forgetting when we would ask him for something and we'd have to ask again. When our food came out it was pretty terrible. The taco salad was floating in some kind of liquid, the quesadillas had no taste and the nachos that I had had so many jalapenos on them that's all I could taste. I noticed the refried beans tasted off and when I looked them they were kind of a gray color. I hardly ate any of it but apparently it was enough because 4 hours later I was really sick. I ended up going to the ER a couple days later because I was still sick. When I called the restaurant today to discuss it I was hung up on the second i said why I was calling. It took me repeatedly calling before the same person answered again. When I asked when the manager would be in he said maybe the manager will talk to you and maybe he won't then hung up on me again. I still haven't gotten anyone to talk to me. read more

ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PLACE!! Hidden away for a bit, then finally stopped in a year or so ago. Found out it's owned by another popular MX restaurant up the street. Amazing staff! Food and Menu choices Great Bloody Mary's or Margaritas too. Open until 2 only so make sure you get in for Breakfast/ Lunch etc. read more

Señor Gomez Mexican Restaurant - French Toast Chloce of Eggs and Choice of etc. Side of Hash Browns or Potatoes. - Mexican Near Me - Lafayette, Colorado

Very few old school breakfast joints left. Senior Gomez is one. It's a Mexican/American menu, but probably far more American than what you might expect based on the name. Not fancy, but a good variety of choice. Friendly staff, good service. I can't say all the food is great because I've only been there once. My breakfast was great and I'll be going back soon. Great value by comparison to all other local places in the area. read more

The breakfast burritos are amazing, the service is friendly, and I love the location in Old Town Lafayette. So good!!

Don't bother. Service was good because it wasn't busy, but food was not very good. We had the bacon cheeseburger and the beef taco salad. Better places to go in Lafayette. read more

Food & service great every time I go to senior Gomez. The green chili is on point and all the breakfast is so tasty read more

This place has the best early bird special in town.

Wow! This restaurant seems to have taken over the old Casa Alvarez. I am always ready for some good Mexican food, and a new restaurant to try. My sweetie and I walked in with high hopes for lunch. The menu was very confusing for a Mexican restaurant. One choice was fried catfish, another was a chile relleno burrito. Some food had gravy, other food had green chile sauce. The menu was written on posterboard and hung on the wall as well as being printed, both menus were confusing. The service was very slow. The kitchen didn't look super clean from where I was sitting. The servers station was about 3 buffet tables with table cloths in the back. Weird set-up, and detracted from the ambience, even for a dive diner. All of this would have been ignored if the food was amazing. It was not. The chips were greasy and served in a dirty plastic bowl. The salsa was mediorcre (at best). I ordered the tamales plate, with rice and beans. The tamales tasted microwaved, the beans were grey with weird crusties on the edges, and the rice was watery. Everything was covered with a pound of cheese. My sweetie had a beef burrito. He had the same experience and complained of "freezer burn". I expect a Mexican restaurant to make better burritos than I can at home with a package of burrito seasoning and 80/20 ground beef. The amazing part of this, is the place was packed. The highlight of the meal was the big smile our waiter gave us and friendly staff. After eating and driving for 15 minutes, my stomach forcibly removed the food from itself. I felt much better afterwards. I won't be going back to Senor Gomez. I really hope they are just having a growing pang, and other people have a better experience than me. read more

been going for years sorry to say went there with 8 others and the service was terrible the waiter was really bad we waited forever and when the food arrived it was all cold told the waiter and he said we are busy the way to treat old customers. read more

Yum!! I went here today for lunch, I liked it so much I may have to go back tomorrow :-) The restaurant was nice and clean and the staff was very nice while busy @ the same time. The chips and salsa were awesome!! Fresh chips and salsa with a nice kick that wasn't overloaded with onions. The Tamale Plate was a huge portion! The 2 pork tamales were smothered with green chili and it came with rice & beans - some of the best refried beans I've ever had - and I've eaten a lot of Mexican food in my life :-) What I am going back for are the soft shell tacos. They were simply ground beef, lettuce, tomatoes and cheese, and they were amazing!! The ground beef was perfectly seasoned and not greasy and the lettuce & tomatoes were fresh. Add all of that to a homemade tortilla and you have some very tasty tacos!! Also, their breakfast menu looks amazing, I am sure it is worth a try. If you want great food at an awesome price in a no fuss atmosphere, definitely come here! read more

5 stars for great breakfast place. Staff wonderful and portions generous. Green chili very good--big chunks of pork in a green chili broth ... no thickeners here. You can eat a healthy breakfast if you want ... they have oatmeal with berries and skim milk. But if you want a bigger and cheesier breakfast, the skillet meals are mmmmmmm. Best table-service Mexican breakfast in the area since La Familia closed. Very reasonable pricing, too. Can get away with a filling breakfast for $3.50. They have shady outdoor seating in the summer, too. read more

We had a big group go in for breakfast on Saturday morning. I love Mex food and was so excited to stuff my face with huevos rancheros. Unfortunately, the sauce was not listed as being full of pork, and I am not a pork eater. Very disappointing. I ate around the sauce and the food was fine, but wish the menu was clear about the green chile sauce being a meat based sauce. The coffee was also not the best. All the others in the group loved their food. The portions are very large and most people took home half their meals. read more

The gomez fritatta was delicious. Went in for takeout and was out very quickly. The waiter was very friendly, and asked if I wanted any water while I waited. I am giving it 5 stars because for the price, the food was delicious and plentiful. I am looking forward to going back. read more

$6 Beef nachos. Portion was huge with ample amount of guacamole and sour cream and a whole side dish of fresh chopped jalapenos. We would come again! read more

Señor Gomez Mexican Restaurant - Beef nachos - Mexican Near Me - Lafayette, Colorado

I had been here years ago and remember it being pretty good. Sadly that has changed. The service was verrrry slow and not terribly friendly. So much so that 2 other tables left before even getting their food. I took my son for pancakes and they were good, but I can go anywhere and get pancakes AND good customer service. I had a mexican frittata that tasted pretty good, but was very greasy and later just made my stomach hurt. Foods ok. Service ok. I'd say eat elsewhere unless those things don't matter to you. read more

Señor Gomez Mexican Restaurant - a plate of food - Mexican Near Me - Lafayette, Colorado

This was a descent place for breakfast. We had a party of 6 and they accomodated us very fast. The service was good and the food was descent. The floutas were good, we loved the green sauce, guacamole and green Chile. The omlet and burritos were not bad. You get quite a bit of food! Be cautioned on ordering sides, they are very pricey: side of potatoes $4, side of beans $6 and orange juice $4. Seems like a great neighborhood place. It most likely would not be our first choice for breakfast, but we would go back. read more

Very mediocre Mexican restaurant. Service was not good this morning. We waited a long time to order and then waited for 15 minutes after we were ready to go and had to ask for the check. Ordered huevos rancheros and the green chile was good but there was hardly any on it. We also had chips and salsa. Salsa was poor just tomato sauce with some green onions thrown in. Potatoes were previously frozen, not fresh cut. Overall, this place was a disappointment. read more

The food is excellent and very inexpensive. Where else can you get breakfast for $2.99 or $3.50 with bacon. The staff is very friendly and attentive and the food is very tasty. I would not go here if I was in a hurry, but it is great for a lazy Sunday morning. I am looking forward to trying their lunch menu. read more

Huge fan!!! I went here for the first time today. Bought 6 meals for my team and it was only $36. The food was great and the service was friendly and speedy. I will be back many more times. read more

Service was extremely slow and inattentive. We came here and ordered a simple breakfast on a Sunday morning about 11:00, when the restaurant was about half full. It took about one hour and 20 minutes, including about 15 minutes waiting for the check. We finally gave up, went to the front, and asked for our check. The food was OK but nothing special. read more

Been here twice for breakfast and I really like the place. Nothing fancy - just the way it should be for breakfast. The Mexican omelette is awesome, and breakfast potatoes are some of the best you'll have. The prices are great, and that's a rare thing these days. read more

Great food for a great price! I recommend the Gomez Benedict or the Frittata. No matter what you get make sure you get at least one pancake because they are some of the best I've ever tried. read more

Three of us met for lunch. The food was great, what a value, you can count me in as a return customer. Try the chile relleno it was over the top my wife had the relleno burrito Next day... Ok we could not stop talking about the chile relleno so we went today. It was fantastic, if your in need of fancy decor and high prices this is not you place. Nothing but great food here. read more

I ate here for breakfast at about 9:30 am one Sunday morning. The food was excellent, pricing was very reasonable, and the atmosphere was bustling. We probably caught them during the peak of their breakfast rush which caused service times to be a bit slow, but I'd certainly go back, even at that time. The Mexican omelette was great. My family enjoyed the ham and eggs, chocolate chip pancakes, and especially the coffee (which seems a grade better than at comparable places). The portions are huge... Expect an extra meal out of the deal. read more

Apathetic wait staff , drab decor and limited Mexican food on the menu. They have lots of American style breakfasts with a slight Mexican adaptation. Waited far too long for a waiter and the subsequent drinks to arrive even though the restaurant was filled and wait staff was standing around using their phones. The salsa tasted like it came from a 20 gallon bucket at Costco. Much better options near by. We paid for our drinks went to cads Allegra I'm Louisville and had a great lunch read more

Love it that the huge menu is available all day....I'm finally able to scratch my hamburger-for-breakfast itch. The food isn't amazing but it's certainly satisfactory and there's always a table available. Staff is nice and food arrives quickly and hot. A nice, basic restaurant in the heart of Lafayette. read more

No, don't do it. Cold chips and watered down salsa. Green Chili had nice heat, but you had to spoon off the gAs 2nd 2eeb and cheese covered everything. read more

This place is great! Especially for breakfast. Great service and the food was amazing. The mexican omelette was fantastic. We'll be back for sure! read more

On my most recent visit to this Lafayette Mexican restaurant I was very disappointed in the service. Upon arrival I chose to sit on the patio. It took fifteen to twenty minutes to recieve water and menus. Another ten or fifteen minutes passed until a server arrived and attended to a later seated couple. Another half an hour passed until the food arrived. On a trip to get more napkins to clean the dirty chair and table I passed the servers who were playing with their telephones. Three differet servers attended to our table. The man who brought the food and check was quite rude when asked if a manager was on duty. He said that there was no manager and that there was nothing he could do about the concerns I expressed to him. I thought the owner or manager would be interested in how poorly his business is being run in his absence. I saw other diners approach the servers ,who were constantly playing with their telephones, who need to pay their bill. The food is quite good here and the patio is very quiet and comfortable. I will never return. The same persons owns the Efrain's restaurnats in Boulder county. I hope they are not headed in the same direction. My visit was at 10:00 am September 1, 2012 read more
