Not the same restaurant since the original owner sold a couple/few months ago. Incredibly disorganized, and the food is not anywhere near as good. I tried to get a breakfast burrito on a Saturday morning and it took nearly 10 minutes to communicate what I wanted, all for the honor of overpaying for rubber carne asada. Just when we had a decent place for Mexican food on this side of town, boom! They take it away from us. Very unfortunate. read more

Sign on the outside says: "Park At Your Own Risk" So I immediately park my car at the window at was sitting. Chips and salsa really good chips had some type of seasoning on it and made it right couldn't stop eating it. Kind of reminded me of old school Doritos from back in the day the way they used to taste before they sold out the system. The menu had a low carb option really appreciate it. Bathroom was immaculate very clean. Also I must add this place was crowded It almost had a five like if you live in Arvada this is the place to be. I ordered the chicken enchiladas. Prices are extremely reasonable I think I'd be like 13 bucks for my meal. Food was decent, (not even close to Los Dos Potrillos in Centennial. In all fairness I am interested in trying this place again because you can't beat the price. Sometimes I hate telling The truth especially when stuff is friendly but at the end of the day I gotta keep it real. Note/ now judging how my stomach feels I don't think I'll be back. Everything was bland I'll stop right there because Luke I said before excellent service ithe problem is whoever is cooking in the kitchen. Side Note: (the day after) Judging how My stomach feels now I'm almost 98% sure that chicken was not fresh most likely it was leftovers They serve me. Please don't get it wrong OK This is not a bashing I cannot stress enough that the customer service here is excellent probably the best I've ever been however at the end of the day flavor and food Quality will always be king. A customer shouldn't be thinking in retrospect that they should've spent their hard earned money at natural grocers. And customers shouldn't be holding their stomach the day after wishing they never ate at a restaurant those read it four stars on yelp. The whole reason we go on Yelp is to avoid experiences like this I know that's why I do. It was pretty sketch that they were only 30 reviews for this restaurant That was four stars. Everything else is perfect about this place Just raise the quality of the food, hire a new head Chef and keep everything the same. read more

Our group of 7 happened on this restaurant by chance and thoroughly enjoyed our food and drinks. We were welcomed with a warmth not often found at many establishments. it was a small, cozy environment that fit our needs perfectly! read more

Worst Mexican food I've ever had. Salsa was watery, had an ice cube floating in it, and they added scallions which is the weirdest addition to a salad I've seen. Beans tasted like they were from a can with no flavor along with plain white rice. Chilaquiles were also very bland with no spice and too many onions. I'm not sure if they are purposely trying to gear their food toward a more American audience but it felt like it. If you are Mexican do not come here because this was gross. read more

If you want authentic, delicious, affordable food, this is the place! The pork tamales were amazing. My husband loves the enchiladas. It was the best horchata l've ever had. Diego, the owner, was friendly and welcoming. We will be going back for sure! read more

This is a Hidden Gem in Arvada! The salsa was spicy and were complimented well with their seasoned chips. The guacamole was fresh, and Chili Relleno was delicious. My Michalada was made perfectly. We tried the churros for desert, which were warm and gooey with a tres leches sauce on top. We received great service from Natalie, who was super attentive and insightful on the menu choices. On top of all this - their prices were very reasonable. I couldn't recommend this spot more! read more

This is my favorite taco place in Arvada! I love the horchata and the Al pastor tacos, but EVERYTHING is good!! Ending the meal with churros is a must, and the owner Diego is the best!! read more

Brought friends from out of town to experience this place. No wonder they are one of Westword's Best of Denver! The carnitas were incredible! Melt in your mouth! Generous portions, attentive service, reasonable prices. What more can you ask for? Looking forward to returning soon! read more

Taco Tuesday- Cheap and delicious! Every taco I tried was really good, except for the chicken. Which is interesting since I usually get chicken tacos. We've been to a number of the old town Arvada taco spots but none of them have stood out to me. But after coming here for Taco Tuesday, I've been craving it ever since. Great prices and taste. Will be back soon! Also came with free chips and salsa, and got a free refill of chips. read more

I have been to this restaurant several times and find the food both delicate and delicious. It is Michoacan and not the usual heavy, generic Mexican fare. Diego and his wife took over the restaurant recently. The meals reasonably priced and the portions are large. My friend and I have made it our regular meeting place. Tonight I had the carnitas and they were excellent. read more

Great for breakfast. Burritos are awesome. And the have carnitas to go on Sunday. Get there and you won't be disappointed

Food is great will go back again. Diego is the heart and soul of this place. Have to try the Cadillac marg.

The carne asada and carnitas tacos were so good! definitely going back to try more! The horchata was good too!

I had never had Michioacan style Mexican food before, but now I'm a fan! I tried the morisqueta and it was amazing! The pork was perfectly cooked and very flavorful, and just the right amount of heat. Their salsa and guacamole are also really great. Their margarita was made with flesh lime juice and not too sweet. Everything I had was delicious, this is my new favorite Mexican restaurant in Arvada! read more

Quality ingredients at a reasonable price! What more can you ask for? Oh and the deserts are delish!

This was delicious! Quick, friendly service, low-key and casual. I will definitely be back!

My husband and I just had lunch here today! It was delicious! The chips and salsa started it off on the right foot! The chips were fresh and the salsa was really good with a little spice to it. My husband had beef, chicken and carnitas tacos and said they were great. They looked really good too. I had the fajita burrito. It came with rice (meh) but I am not a rice person and beans which were super. The burrito was delicious as was the green chili. The place has been opened under this ownership for about 6 months. It was clean which is very important to me! We will certainly be back. I recommend you give them a try! read more

Loved how homey it felt here. The food was authentic and deliciously made. Our waiter was very friendly. So glad this is right down the street from us! read more

This little building has been many things over the years but this restaurant is our favorite! Each time we walk in, we are enthusiastically greeted by the owner, Diego. He checks on us throughout our visit, making sure we're taken care of. Most importantly though is his food. It is fresh, authentic, consistent and delicious! We've yet to try anything there that hasn't been comforting and satisfying. Give Mi Tierra Caliente a try. You're bound to become a regular too! read more

The food, drinks, service and ambiance were great! The chocolate filled churros were hot and fresh and a great way to end the meal.

Great place for authentic Mexican food, from michoacan region. The carne asada taco was loaded as was the al pastor. The guacamole tostada was stacked high as well. Ajax, the owner was really nice and very attentive. The well tequila is high quality which made their house margaritas delicious and tasty. The atmosphere was great, not loud nor too quiet, music volume was perfect, enough to have a regular speaking volume conversation over food and drinks. read more

OMG!!! This is that level of Mexican food!! Spicy, flavorful, and AWESOME. The service is off the charts. Margs? Nuts. So f'in perfect! My new favorite Mexican food!!! So awesome! The atmosphere screams legit!! And, did I mention reasonably priced! Just Wow! read more

Wow! This was probably the best Mexican food I've had in at least 5 years. The seasoning and flavors were great and everything was very unique. The service was fast and it was pretty inexpensive. 10 out of 10. read more

Such a great restaurant. The carnitas are so tender, loved the quesobirra and nachos. The chips and salsa are fresh and the servers are so nice. For sure my new Mexican spot. read more

Food was good with some original and unique flavor (good). Sign needs bigger lettering as we turned too soon following the Google navigation system. We had carnitas 2 ways, both good, over beans and rice and enchiladas with green tomatillo sauce. Chips and red sauce were good, refills $2. read more

Fantastic, food and margaritas. The ambience is basic. The staff was nice and attentive. I had three different tacos and thought each was really good, and a spicy margarita and a regular margarita, and both were very good, go check it out! read more

Food, service and ambiance all mediocre. Not terrible. Not great. Wouldn't go out of my way to go there again.

Best Mexican food since being at my mom's table! Seriously- order anything, get a margarita and enjoy yourself. This place is going to be a staple on our list of go to restaurants to visit. It's been equally good for take out. Go! read more

Tequila Jalisco - The owner, Ajax, and my hubby, Kevin - a great start to our weekend! - Mexican Near Me - Arvada, Colorado

Delicious green Chile. Friendly owners and family operated. A Michoacán spin on the food and local favorites like Chile cheese fries and rellenos. Only been open 3 months but every visit has been consistently good with awesome service. My goal is to try everything on the menu. On a corner with 5 or 6 corporate fast food joints, it's refreshing to have family recipes served at reasonable prices. Found my spot for good Mexican!!!! read more

Great atmosphere, authentic food & outstanding service. We have not had one bad meal at Mi Tierra Caliente! You are missing out if you don't try this place! #MTC read more

Wow had the best lunch. The birria taco's were amazing. Service was delightful. A Welcoming place to enjoy lunch.

I love everything about this new spot in the neighborhood. Upon walking in the staff is very attentive and welcoming! I very much appreciate how much they cleaned up the space as the exhaust system used to be awful. The ambiance is clean and inviting. And now for the food... everything has exceeded expectations and then some! Fresh, authentic and thoughtfully prepared options arriving promptly and piping hot. The chili rellenos were outstanding and the chicken fajitas were the best I've ever had. The chicken was perfectly prepared. The gooey chocolate churros were far from disappointing. Overall, I couldn't be happier with this new neighborhood establishment and plan to return frequently. read more

Incredible food and service! I was very impressed. My daughter is getting married and although they don't have catering I am seeing what I can do to have them cater it. Yes that good read more

The food here is AMAZING, great service and atmosphere, everything I've had so far has been chef's kiss. Really a treasure.

Yummm! The birria tacos were absolutely delicious! The staff was fun and efficient. We will definitely be back.

Hidden Gem! This place is excellent! This has become my favorite Mexican restaurant. Great food, Good Prices. I had the carne asada burrito, big size, lots of meat. Even though I was full tried the homemade sopapills with ice cream my son had the churros filled with chocolate and ice cream. Great!! read more

I found this family owned and operated restaurant to be a true gem, rich with history and great stories. It was a pleasure to talk to the owner and learn! I love the murals and Monarch butterflies on the walls. Ask them about it, they will happily tell you! The food was delicious, fresh and made from scratch. They have several traditional one-of-a-kind options. Can't wait to go back and try more!! So happy to have this new restaurant in the neighborhood. Please support them! From what I can remember, they are open Tuesday to Saturday until at least 8pm, Sunday until 3pm and they serve breakfast all day. Closed on Mondays. They are working on their website to be up and running soon. read more

I am so surprised this place has that many high star ratings. We went with a party of 8, apparently they are with new management as of today (6/25). Drinks and food came out so late. Took 40 minutes to get two margaritas. The steak fajitas were burnt, they remade it and it was not any better, it had no flavor. The chicken burrito was not impressive and this carne asada dish we got, the steak was so thin and burnt we didn't even finish it. They were so short staffed that they couldn't rectify the situation. The Al pastor and the shrimp quesadilla was the only thing that was good. The worst part was when all the food came out we were missing an entree, Diego asked my cousin what he ordered and was like oh we actually do not have that in stock. This entree was ordered based on his suggestion so he basically suggested an item to him that they did not have. It took 45 minutes for our food to come out my cousin was so frustrated he did not want to order anything else and have to wait another 40 minutes again. Extremely disappointed we will not be back. read more

This was the best carne asada taco I've had in Colorado, and possibly the best I've ever had at all. Even the green chili at Mi Tierra Caliente was better than any red chili I've ever had, which is a hill I was prepared to die on. I will be back to try more from the menu as soon as I can. The food is surprisingly cheap especially given the quality of the ingredients and the obvious care that went into making these typical Mexican food dishes into something unexpected. If you're not sure where to eat, stop researching on the internet and go here! read more
