El Karajo Mexican Restaurant

I was so excited when I got to try El Karajo in Centennial! I am always on the lookout for a great Mexican spot and El Karajo is an amazing option! The decor is like a Mexican Fiesta which is my favorite type of fiesta so you are immediately in for a fun afternoon since we went during their new brunch hours! Everyone was so friendly and welcoming too! what I ordered: we started with queso fundido with chorizo and flour tortillas, cielo, mar, y tierra molcajete, chilaquiles verdes, and churros. To drink we got the jarrito, el mar azul, the prickly pear margarita, and their house margarita. best bite: i love a good molcajete! They are new to me as I've never seen them in Mexico but it's quickly becoming a favorite of mine. Their cielo, mar, y tierra had chorizo, chicken, asada, shrimp, nopales, and cheese all on top of a salsa verde. What else do you need!? The churros were also a highlight for me! I didn't even need the chocolate sauce! The jarrito and the prickly pear margarita were my favorite drinks! I will definitely be going back to try more of their breakfast menu too!

Fan-freaking-tastic. This place is a hidden gem. Edith was our server, and she was very personable. Food was 10/10. The margs are...well..."the best in town", and they live up to the name. I got the cucumber one and the boyfriend got the house, but I suggest ordering the Karajo marg, as Edith let us try it. Woweeewow, very nice! I will be back. I got the fajita burrito and it was bomb! Boyfriend liked his shrimp and asada tacos.

El Karajo has a great taco and marg special on Thursdays that we hit up most weeks. Everything on the menu that I've tried has been absolutely outstanding. I love sitting at the bar on the outside of their patio in the summer drinking one of their La Karaja margaritas. I would give them 6 stars if I could (and I would love if they added a chorizo taco to the menu). Their fajitas are outstanding, every time one of the servers walks by with a screaming hot plate of them my nose does a happy dance.

Fun dinner at El Karajo, our first visit. We went about 5 pm on Saturday, and had our pick of tables, but by 6 pm the space was jammed. Prices are reasonable, and service was very good. Food is beyond typical TexMex, with an extensive menu of "from scratch" dishes. Chips and salsa (spicy!) are complementary, and we also ordered guacamole. I enjoyed the enchiladas poblanos (but they could have benefitted from more sauce). My dining companions had Combo #1 (a full plate of shredded beef burrito, cheese enchilada and crispy chili relleno) and a carnitas burrito with green chili. We all enjoyed black beans and "white rice."There are a number of shrimp and seafood options I want to try. This was a birthday dinner, so we ordered fried ice cream, which was large enough for 3. The celebrant also was given a lovely slice of chocolate cake, and a Happy Birthday serenade as she wore a gorgeous hat! We parked in the indicated handicapped spot, but it was not the correct size and had regular spots next to it. Had to back out before folks could get in the vehicle. Not good. We'll eat here again, though. For sure.

My favorite authentic Mexican restaurant in Centennial! The food, service and ambiance are always consistently amazing! Highly recommend

Best enchiladas in the city. Great margs, lovely dining room. Reasonable prices, most value anywhere

This is the best mexican restaurant we have found in the Denver areaWe moved from Washington DC to Denver 10 years ago and expected to find great Mexican restaurants here like we found in DC with its many international favorites.But after experiencing many good mexican restaurants here, we had not found a great mexican restaurant. Until today.El Karajo is fabulous. My wife, the foodie was also equally impressed.Food quality was great. She had a Veggie Buritto and I had the amazing Fajitas Chimichanga. The La Karaja Magaritta was also very good. The chips were light and queso the right amount of slightly spicey.Great atmosphere, service, and food quality. You will not leave hungry and your senses will be delighted.We will come back even if it is a 30 minute drive from downtown.

Food is delish, service is fantastic. Live the churro beans and family oriented restaurant.

Friendly service & delicious food. Went on a Sunday afternoon with no waiting... Go check them out!

I'm told by the owners Edith and Raul that this is my 2nd kitchen.It is true Mexican family food with great Margaritas.And they have an outside patio with an indoor outdoor bar.Go there a few times and you're family.
