We are new to the area and had to try this place because it's also so crowded!…read more We were not disappointed! We got a table within 10 minutes despite it being pretty packed at 7 pm on a Tuesday. We started with the El Minero cocktail which was great as well as esquites and the salsa trio. The Macha salsa is SO good! The esquites was also really good. We ordered a carne asada taco, birria taco, and chicken enchiladas suizas and enjoyed all of them! The carne asada taco was the least exciting so we would probably try something else next time. Overall, a great dinner, we can't wait to go back

I love that Teocalli is mostly gluten free, thank you for that! It's a fun spot to grab food, and…read morethe location is great. As I've mentioned before (and I know others have too), it would be wonderful to see some vegan options added to the menu. I also ordered a tequila shot that came with salt and lime, but unfortunately there was so much salt that chunks of it fell directly into the drink itself. I probably should have sent it back for a replacement. Overall, I still enjoy the service and hope to see a few small changes in the future, especially some more vegan-friendly options.

Our group gravitate to their Bowl options, and I thoroughly enjoted their Tinga Bowl. Also liked their Mexican Street Corn. Like they have Coca-Cola products! Excellent service from Jack, our server.

Drinks: They used cheaper tequila. my body cannot handle cheap tequila, but higher end stuff is just fine. how can I tell? I was sweating tequila the next day after one margarita. Quality tequila doesn't mess me up like that. Pricing: for the quality of food, not great. they also no longer do taco tuesday. Service: staff was lovely, though I wish they were more accommodating to my vegetarian guest. The refried beans are made with animal fat, so it is not vegetarian as advertised.

We recently moved to the Golden area and have been on the hunt for a great Mexican restaurant…read more After trying a few spots nearby, Birriería Donna Maria has quickly become our go-to. The food is consistently excellent. We've ate here four times so far and haven't been disappointed once. My personal favorites so far are the enchiladas and the fajitas. In my opinion a lot of places tend to overcook the meat in fajitas, but not here. The meat has always been tender, and the seasoning is spot-on. The staff at Donna Maria are professional, welcoming, and attentive, which makes the experience even better. The restaurant space itself isn't huge, but it's comfortably sized, and we've never had to wait for a table. If you're in the Golden area and craving quality Mexican food, this place is definitely worth checking out.

The birria here is amazing, especially the goat birria. I've been here multiple times and also…read moreordered take out and delivery multiple times and I have to say this place does not miss. There's nothing better than a nice bowl of birria consomme. The best thing to do is to order the birria consomme or soup and make your own birria ramen at home.

Stopped in for Happy Time with my husband…read more Parking is always a challenge. We were able to find a spot two blocks away. We both ordered the tacos, shaggy style. That is a favorite. We also got an order of chips and salsa. I like that it comes with three different salsas. He got a house margarita, while I decided on the coin. Both were very tasty. The service was great. The space does get loud. There were two tables with kids who meandered about rather than sit with their family. One toddler decided his shirt was unnecessary despite the parents telling him to put it back on. It was hard to hear for conversation.
