    $1.50 a tamale that's bomb? Yasssss Sara, yassss! Green pork was amazing - had a good kick but I'm a wuss so take that as a grain of salt. Red pork was awesome and not spicy. I had ordered a green chile and cheese but got a red instead, but that was a good surprise cause I loved it and I'm not normally a red fan. The store front leaves some to be desired but for $1.50 I will take it!

    Another hole in the wall in "Downtown" Commerce City. Was inside around 5:30pm and I was freezing. 3 cheesy tables for four in the unorganized establishment. I ordered 2 tasty delicious, nice portion burritos. 1 chilli relleno and 1 bean and cheese. I enjoyed them very much. Not a lot of sodium in their beans. I will be back! The prices are super cheap! Recommend you trying this off the wall place.

    Ordered two dozen tamales for family dinner. They had great flavor but the masa to meat ratio was off. Way too much masa.

    It's been many years since I last went to Las Margs. I used to go pretty often, but there was this…read moreguy who worked there, who was always rather pompous, I always assumed he was the owner. It soured me on the place, so I just stopped going. But recently, a coworker suggested we get lunch there, and I figured it had been long enough to try it again. I'm really happy I did. The vibe is great, sort of a sports bar feel but with a Mexican twist, and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. I got the Reunion Combo, and it was a ton of food. It had a chicken tamale and a crispy relleno covered in this really tasty pork green chile, a red chile cheese enchilada, and a ground beef crispy taco. Everything was delicious, and the plate was huge. I definitely felt like I got what I paid for with the meal. The only thing I didn't like was the $4 ice tea. It kind of feels like a cheap way to make the bill bigger at the end, but honestly, the food and the better service made it worth it. I'm glad to have this spot back on my list for lunch in Commerce City.

    I really liked the vibe in here, l.e.d boards and march madness games on made me a happy camper!…read morethe service was nice, and i was shocked with how fast our food and drinks came out. I got an Enchilada, which came with beans and rice. I was happy to see my order was smothered, although I do wish my portion was bigger, it was pretty filling!

    Recently started working in the area, and my new co-workers invited me to a vendor-invite lunch…read more This place is casual with a nice atmosphere. Reclaimed metal sheet walls, concrete floor, a nice looking bar and good 80s/90s music piping in. The menu offers many taco options, which you purchase a la carte. I took a risk and got the ahi tuna taco, and a steak fajita taco. Both were good - but I was most impressed with the Ahi. It was better than the sushi I have had at a sushi restaurant since moving here to CO. Nice Asian sauce with sesame seeds throughout. Super good. It's light, though. It is in a butter lettuce "taco shell", but honestly I think putting it in a true corn or flour tortilla just would not mesh well. The service was very very pleasant and attentive. We even had to move a couple times because our party number kept changing, and she was as pleasant as can be. I look forward to heading back and trying something else. Co-workers tell me you really can't have a bad taco there, and I think I might challenge that notion and find out for myself! Cheers!

    A Denver Gem: State House (Commerce City) If you find…read moreyourself near the northern edge of Denver, State House in Commerce City is an absolute must-visit. It has that perfect "rustic-chic" Colorado vibe--warm, wood-accented, and welcoming--making it just as good for a casual lunch as it is for a weekend dinner. The Burger Battle * Bison Burger: This was the star of the show. It's lean but incredibly juicy, with a deep, rich flavor that puts standard beef to shame. * Pro Tip: Pairing it with the tomato bisque instead of fries was a game-changer. The soup was creamy, vibrant, and had a slight sweetness that cut through the richness of the bison perfectly. * Pub Burger: A classic done right. Two patties, perfectly seared, with a side dijonnaise that adds just the right amount of kick. It's everything a pub burger should be--messy in the best way possible. The side garden salad was surprisingly fresh and crisp, providing a nice light balance to the heavy-hitter burger. The Atmosphere & Service The space is beautiful--modern design meets local charm. We were particularly impressed by the service; the staff was attentive without being overbearing, and you can tell they take pride in the locally sourced ingredients they're serving. The Verdict Whether you're a fan of wild game like the bison or you just want a solid, high-quality cheeseburger, State House hits the mark. It's rare to find a place where the "side" soup is just as memorable as the main course, but that tomato bisque is worth the trip alone. I'll definitely be back for another round of that bison burger!
