Bellota - Boulder

Great Mexican restaurant in North Boulder with a cool atmosphere and pleasant patio.The menu offers tacos, enchiladas and other Mexican specialties with cocktails, wine and beers.I went for dinner with a few friends and we all enjoyed our various entrees. We stared with the trio of homemade salsas, very good (although a little too salty for my taste).I had a couple tacos, also yummy and the Paloma was perfect.Our waitress was very nice and we had a wonderful evening.I'll definitely go back!

Ok quick review. Headed here for a late dinner. Got the enchiladas. They were the most amazing enchiladas I've ever had. And if you know my reviews and history this means a LOT. Chips and salsa were very different. Loved them. Not the best I ever had but Probably because I like things very spicy. The churros desert, awesome. The sauces for it are all made in house and that shows. Highly recommend them also. If your looking for somthibg Mexican that isn't too fancy and doesn't have a number of margaritas in its name (locals will get that) hit this place up. No way you will be disappointed. It's officially on my top places list. --John

Not yummy. Atmosphere was cool, water glasses felt fancy. Pozole missed the mark by a long shot. I would stay clear. if you are feeling like that down home pozole that you grew to love, this aint it. No radishes, no cabbage, no fresh avocado, no nada. I tried two small pieces of meat, I only did so because that was all that was in my entire bowl. I assume it was pork but tasted a lot like beef. This 13$ pozole was a bowl if broth and hominy. while their broth is very tasty, this one just missed the mark. Man and for that price I was thinking they were going to come out swinging. My wife got the Chile Relleno. This dish is one that Chile is the focal point not the something you need to focus to taste. This was filled with some concoction of cheeses and white rice. 16$ with no rice or beens. This was an extra 3$. I hear their margaritas are tasty I just don't drink. The nice waiter asked how everything was tasting and I explained I was less than stoked.

It was a quiet night good food here, not the best Mexican food in boulder but they got a thing for salsas and sauces. Did the chips and salsa trio. One really spicy one and two other flavorful ones, was just missing a chunky one really. Did the chicken enchiladas for dinner . They were good and flavorful. Not the best I have had but definately great for boulder and colorado

Are you SERIOUS - this chili relleno is the most flavorful, delicious thing I've had in a very long time. I will be needing to order one each time I come here. The carne asada tacos are also fantastic, as are all of their house made salsas. Great atmosphere. Can't wait to come back!

This has quickly become one of my very favorite Boulder restaurants. Everything I've tried has been so flavorful and unique. I first found out about this place when they were at the Boulder Taco Fest in 2023 and served the most delicious taco - the costra. The restaurant is clean and staff are super friendly. Some of my favorite things on the menu: the esquites, wild thing fries, costra and shrimp tacos, and the chicken enchiladas with the mole verde sauce (one of the best sauces to ever grace my mouth). Margaritas are bomb too. Seriously outstanding food!!!!

First time to this restaurant and would NOT go backPosole was SO salty . And full of onions . Worst I've ever had .Ahi tostada was also super salty and tiny for the priceGuacamole is very plain and salsas were very good . Service WAS so SLOW . And didn't come back at all to check on us. Waited 22 min to get drinks after we ordered.

We like the food and drinks here and the happy hour specials are decent. But this was the second time we've come here, ordered food and beverages, and had the servers apologize because the lone bartender has been totally slammed. Last time we ate here, we received our food, ate it, and after we'd finished, our drinks came out. The server apologized profusely, saying, "If I could, I would make your drinks myself, because I tend bar also, but...." Here's where things got weird. One of us had recently quit drinking alcohol so ordered a NA beverage (hibiscus tea). We also ordered one alcoholic drink. The bartender arrived at our table and with her apologies set down in front of us a house Paloma and a margarita, neither of which we had ordered, "on the house." A few minutes later, the drinks we'd ordered arrived. So there the two of us were, with no food but three alcoholic beverages and one hibiscus tea (yummy). The one who had recently quit drinking decided to scratch their fresh resolution and had some of the margarita and the Paloma, and the other enjoyed their specialty cocktail. But restaurant servers and bartenders alike should be really careful about setting alcoholic drinks in front of people who didn't order them. Not sure whether we will return. Downgraded for the bar service. Do better!

I'm so glad I finally came here! The food was so amazing and the service was exceptional. We started with the esquites which were delicious and came with a great portion. I got the quesabirria for my main and I believe it is the best birria I have had. The meat was extremely tender and very flavorful. I'm super excited to come back!!!

This place is fantastic! The food is fresh and inventive. The flavors are great and there's a real attention to quality, authenticity and detail. Loved their place in Denver and this is just as good. Terrific cocktails, too. Staff was warm and knowledgeable -- great recommendations. Love the mural in the dining room. Overall, this is a real gem!
