Blue Bonnet Restaurant

The Death of Blue Bonnet:A family favorite for years. Great prices and happy hour brought people from all over Denver. It was common to wait for 45-60 minutes for a table- servers stayed for years. We ate there at least once a month minimum. We realized a few weeks ago we hadn't been there in over a year. After arriving I remembered why. Friday night 6:30. Prime dinner time. 7 tables?Average price $23.00 Over $125 for family of four with tax and tip?They also include the BS kitchen sur chargeStaff is friendly, but bottom line is prices. To many Mexican restaurants at almost half the price.

Such a great experience. Not only do they go through great lengths to make sure they have gluten free options, but the staff is friendly and efficient.

First impression very small parking lot! After searching for parking, we finally were able to make it in! Wow it's so nice on the inside! We were promptly seated in patio that was very nicely covered and very cool (in both aspects of the word!)Were promptly greeted by our server and we put our drinks in! Also ordered a queso starter! Chips and salsa were dropped off immediately and shortly after the queso was dropped off! Not what I expected more of a melted cheese compared to an actual queso dip. This was like the kinda cheese that when you dip it pulls with your dip but still very good! Topped with red onions as well! Ordered the kiddie bowl for my son and I got the three items combo plate ! Maybe 5 minutes had passed and our food was here! My son's kiddie bowl was a lot! Wow! He was thrilled! Subbed the beef for chicken with no beans! Mines looked amazing! The taste of his chicken and rice was perfect! Asked for hot sauce and was brought out some garlic habanero! Wow! The carnitas, shredded beef, and ground beef were perfect! Definetly enjoyed our first visit and will make sure to make it back out!

the atmosphere here is super family-friendly and the workers are very polite. in terms of value for investment, i think the food is overpriced. it's good, but could be better with more spices/flavoring and possibly more high-quality ingredients. for example, the shrimp in my tacos was very plain and seemed to be pre-cooked instead of fresh. i will say though, my mom absolutely loves coming here because it's dependable and they have great margaritas.

What a great local spot! I was surprised by all the outdoor space and it was beautiful! Everyone enjoyed their plates that were very large portions. Service was pleasant and attentive. Recommend the queso and strawberry basil margaritas!

Last minute dinner last night and what a disappointment. I love a good Mexican restaurant and this one was a bust! I should have known when we pulled into the parking lot and saw the restaurant was not busy for a Saturday night. (literally 8 people there!!!) We were immediately sat and served chips and salsa. The chips tasted old and cold - the salsa was bland! Ordered our margs and food. The cheese dip (vegetarian queso) was the weirdest thing I've ever seen - it was orange and super stringy - it looked like it was cooked in chorizo grease and you couldn't even get it to stay on a chip. Dinner was served shortly after the cheese dip was put on the table and the taste - not even mid! To end the night we saw one of the waitresses packing up the baskets of chips into bins! Maybe this is standard practice but this would explain why the chips were cold and tasted old! Such a disappointment!!

Alas the Blue Bonnet from yore is no more. This is a somewhat lessened version where margs and dishes are no longer a foodie's delight. Is it good? Yes. But it's a far cry from the great place it was.

Mediocre food, expensive, and a kitchen surcharge. No thanks. We used to go there. No mas.

I was shocked to see how much the menu prices have gone up for basic Mexican food at the Blue Bonnet. They have doubled since I was lastly there!Way too expensive! A breakfast burrito is $18... most meals average $22!I don't see how the internet cost rating gives the Blue Bonnet only $$Plus, the quality is not there like it was before.
