    This is definitely a hidden gem! We were in town visiting our son who has been there many times. Lorena, the waitress/owner was super sweet! The food was excellent! Lorena's husband cooks all the meals. The prices are great and the portions are perfect! The place is bright and cute! It's family friendly! We will definitely go back!

    Spicy shrimp
    Ed G.

    The atmosphere is a mix of industrial; Mexican decor; and tacky, tapped, HH promotions. We were warned the spicy shrimp dish required access to a fire extinguisher. It delivered fire - via, my guess, dynamite green chili powder. The small serving size, itty-bitty shrimps, and dirth of flavor left me wishing I had ordered something else. The house margs were too sweet. What gives with the plastic, pink pitcher? Visually unappealing. The tequila was 100% agave. The chorizo won best of plate. Great seasoning. They serve breakfast items, too. I would definitely order eggs and chorizo. The incredibly small serving of guacamole saved us from having to eat bland, funky avocado. The price value for this appetizer fails the reasonable person test. Never again. The smothered crispy relleno was saved by topping it with chorizo. Way too costly for the quality and quantity of the food. Adios Tacos El Huequito. One and done.

    Hidden place in Denver. The food was delicious and full of flavor. The service could have been a bit better, we were the only ones here at the time. The restaurant had a good vibe and also good music playing in the background. Honest review- good eats, location could be improved.

    Homemade chips and salsa.
    Shana G.

    Friends and I enjoy trying restaurants we've never tried before. I can't wait to come back. The neighborhood is changing drastically. I would suggest visiting before the neighborhood takes over, and you'll be on a wait list. The first impression is the chips and salsa. Homemade chips were light and crispy. We ordered more. The Mexican corn was so delish that we ordered a second round. Chilaquiles was full of flavor. The green chili is vegetarian and tasty. I ordered the Barbacoa plate. It was a lot of food. Loved the flavors. I want to go back before word gets out how amazing this place is. Parking is off the street, and if they're busy, it's spars. Support small and local business. I wish them all the success. They were super kind.

    Al pastor Huequito Burrito with the green Chile sauce
    Alyssa H.

    Service was fantastic. Ambiance - welcoming, clean. Owners- friendly. Food- I would probably give 3.5 stars based off of food alone. The green Chile sauce on top of my burrito was more of a butter sauce which is different than anything I've ever had on Mexican food and personally I would never order again on top of my food. It was overwhelming and made my belly feel ick since I do not eat that much butter so I couldn't eat much of my meal. Later I had bubble guts so did my partner who also had the Chile sauce on their meal. But to be fair, the owner let me try it in a little dish before I ordered it but I guess it's good in small quantities like dipping a chip in it. The Al pastor was tougher than I'd like or expect- it was small chunks. The chorizo was good! Chips, queso and salsa were amazing.

    Ok so my friend and I were wanting Mexican food and found this spot. They just opened this location in a new apartment building - don't be turned off though it's clean, open, airy, and the people are so friendly! They have a big menu with a wide variety of options. I love that they put beans in their burritos too - the veggie burrito with beans was so good! The tortilla was grilled perfectly. My friend got a few different tacos, including chorizo and barbacoa. The latter was her favorite. The complimentary chips and salsa were clearly freshly made with spicy salsa. If you're in the neighborhood, give this place a try. It's phenomenal!

    O. M. G. this place is amazing. We were so happy to have stumbled upon it. Parking lot is a little tight. They do have indoor seating + takeout. We got 2 varieties of the burritos and both were delicious. Try the el huecito- it is smothered in a spicy sauce. Stuffed with fries meat cheese and even comes with avocado free of charge! The el huecote was delish as well - had fries as well but more of your standard burrito. The al pastor was my favorite. We tried that as well as the carne asada. Both were good! You must get the homemade hot sauce here - delicious. It seems like they sell it as well. The couple that owns the restaurant is so sweet! We will definitely be back!

    I Ordered chicken and shrimp burrito.... I have no doubts it'll be bomb!

    Kike's Red Tacos changed my life. Before this place, I was a normal person. After my first queso…read moretaco dipped into that rich, glorious consomé, I became someone who casually considers flying to Denver "for lunch." I started going when they were still operating out of their food truck, and honestly, watching them grow into a permanent restaurant feels like seeing your favorite underground band finally make it big... except instead of music, they're dropping cheesy taco masterpieces. The queso tacos are absolutely ridiculous in the best possible way: crispy, cheesy, messy, and worth ruining at least one shirt over. And the consome? That stuff could heal emotional damage. It's rich, comforting, and somehow makes you immediately want "just one more taco" even when you're already full. Every time I'm in Denver, this place is mandatory. Not optional. Not "if there's time." Mandatory. My vacation itinerary basically starts with flights and ends with tacos. So happy to see Kike's getting the recognition they deserve. If you haven't been yet, prepare to have your standards permanently ruined for all other tacos.

    Walk in casually as you go about your day on a sunny afternoon and have a quick Mexican food along…read morewith a refreshing Mexican beer kind of place is how I summarize this place. This long skinny establishment - not necessarily super spacious - can offer you a decent food that you can count on. You don't need anybody to go with - you can be a solo diner because this place is not intimidating in any way. It's that casual. I think this establishment was born in the old Stoney's Cantina space. Whether the place was huge enough to create two businesses (and thus La Loteria occupied half of it), I sort of saw some "remnant" of Stoney's was the impression that I got. Whatever I am correct on this or not, this casual Mex place is all about vivid pastel colored interior where red is mostly dominant. Intriguing murals on walls 360 degrees are quite impressive. Once you are inside, a huge arrow to direct the people to order to their left at the ordering counter. That ordering counter extends all the way where you'll see some bar seatings. The right side of it mostly has tables for small to large groups of people. Like I said, this place is not huge but at the same time, people don't stay long to dine; the turnover is quite quick in a way. The restaurant also gets many walk-in to-go order placers as well. I got me the Aztec Bowl for to-go. This dish is only $11 (as of early May of 2025) and is a vegetarian item. I consume a lot of vegetarian diet and yet my instinct loudly spoke to me to add some protein to it. Whether or not you can keep it non-meat to stay in the vegetarian zone, adding some protein to this dish is a must as if it was by itself, it would be a bit boring because it only has some greens and some slices of avocado. As the add-on, I got me the carne asada ($5.00) that comes with rice. Not bad.. I didn't eat it right after I got home; I meant to get it to eat it the next day which I did (this AM.) It was still fresh where nothing tasted stale. The carne asada was well-cooked with seasonings. In other words, it wasn't salty at all but held good flavors. Now on the receipt, I saw a charge of what's called "takeout service fee" which is 18%. I kind of assumed that this was mostly the mandatory gratuity. At the end of the card transaction, I remember that the different gratuity percentages were listed on the machine and they were quite small because of this fee. It'll be up to you to add more if you wish. Some people might complaint about this mandated system and yet I kind of understand that businesses nowadays must survive by navigating through the rising cost of living. As we have seen our favorite businesses disappear in the recent years, I am here to support them by whatever I could within my power. Whereas the parking on Broadway is a pain in the neck at any time of the day, if I think of a casual Mexican dining in the Baker neighborhood next time, I may stop by here. It's a good establishment to know.

It's also very unassuming. It looks like a very small restaurant on the outside but once you are inside, you'll be shocked to see its good size dining area. This place is all about happiness. I mean seriously!! They care about their customers that get satisfied with their service and meals. And it does draw a very diverse crowd from the Hispanics to Caucasians to Asians, I mean you name it. They also get a lot of to-go orders. Some people came in, grabbed their food and went on their way for the night. My friend got the Torta Los Carboncito. This is a massive sandwich with plenty of meat inside. Since the menu has colored picofor almost each item, what caught my attention was the fish dish. There are two of them: one is trout and the other is something else (I forgot) but I got me the non-trout one. The lady asked me if I wanted the flour or corn tortillas so I went with the corn one. As soon as I got home, my late night snacking started. I only took several bites out of that whatever the huge fish. And oh my goodness, it was so delicious! Well-seasoned with very light salt. Although I mainly got it for tomorrow morning/lunch I had a hard time quit eating because of its deliciousness. Extremely welcoming staff (I even met the owner, Alex as he was dining with his family), quality food and value pricing, this place checks out for the hidden gem restaurant that's not necessarily super fancy but it's worth every penny and time. Yelping is so much fun. That is why I cannot quit my foodie-ness! What a nice discovery!
