Absolutely Amazing across the board. First off the food itself was everything I remembered back when I was a kid 30yrs ago. My hubby was a first-time customer and he was impressed with everything from the taste of the food to the price! Would recommend in a heartbeat of you want a great meal in a low key environment !♡$😋

Dive bar vibe inside but friendly staff and decent happy hour. They have an open window for to go drinks which is unique. First time having deep fried taco shells and it was delish. It's crunchy without having to worry about it disintegrating after a bite. Salsa was also very fresh and well balanced. Chips were okay. The margaritas were a great deal. Only tried the house ones during happy hour and they weren't bad.

Pretty good! I like the fried tacos, kinda like a regular crispy taco though. Not anything crazy.

But it was yummy! Happy hour margs were great too, the bartender was happy to add some jalapeño to mine, thank you!

The chips, salsa, guac boat was good- but the guac was kinda just mashed up avo, no seasoning or pico in it.

I’m a Texas native, so Mexican food is near & dear to my heart.

I’d come back! It was good!

I had a great experience here after the Rockies game on Saturday afternoon. Place was busy but the host was awesome and found us a spot at a shareable table. Waiter was awesome. Really nice young man and was really helpful. My friend got the menudo he loved it I couldn't Edge him out of the way to take a picture of it sorry. He was on that thing like it was the last bowl on the planet. When I asked him how it was, he replied with a grunt that I took to mean excellent.

I went with the fried steak tacos. They were absolutely delicious. Super crispy. That secret taco sauce was banging! I could have drank that stuff. I also got a bowl of elote. It was fantastic as well. Nice and smoky flavor and very savory with the grandma and the cheese. Was very very happy with it. Prices were more than fair. Service was awesome. Atmosphere laid back in casual but inviting and friendly. I will be back.

So mid. Fried tacos with carne asada tasted and looked like it came out of a can. Overpriced and not worth it.

First time visiting here and visited during happy hours. They have $8 margaritas and $3 beer selections. Like other reviewers mentioned before the chips and salsa served were really bland and cold. Kinda tasted like store bought ones maybe even worse. The margaritas were decent and fried tacos tasted good. Overall a decent mexican joint but there is better options in the nearby areas.

Good service, ordered online and was ready before I got there. Mexico City has always been a staple of Denver! Everything changes eventually, still a great place to eat anytime
