My sister took my mom to this hidden gem and she suggested we meet here for dinner. We live in Denver and close to Federal. This is our new FAVORITE Mexican restaurant!!!! I am so sad my picture of all of our dinners disappeared. I set my phone down to eat and came back..gone. However, I will be back and take another. I will start off with the salsa. Looking at it and then dipping my chip, I'm thinking, this is going to be like tomato sauce..no no no, this salsa is flavorful and slightly spicy, and I LOVE everything spicy. So happy there.We made happy hour and the house small margarita was in a pint glass and good. It didn't taste like sweet and sour mix and it didn't taste like all fresh limes, but I liked it and I am also a picky margarita drinker, so I am starting to feel excited.I asked the server for the spiciest sauce and he said the diabola, I ordered a soft rellano with that. It was salty, but the spice level was sweaty, drink some water Hotl! Matt got the biggest combo. Which we probably could have shared and was a great idea (we could try most everything).Now I have to tell you mexican food, to me- born and raised in Colorado, is all about the chili/sauce (sorry Cali, salsa is good but I don't want my burrito smothered in it) and they did NOT disappoint here..thus my new favorite Mexican restaurant!! We tried all but two and all were DELICIOUS! Green chili, red chili, tapatia, and diabola..YUMService was attentive and friendly.Matt says we will be back next week to take more pics. He loved it too.PS They have a drive through and hand helds for under $5I would add this to your places to try if you haven't!LOVE THIS PLACE

Super disappointed with our experience. Seems like the restaurant was prioritizing everyone else, and the drive-through orders. We were a group of 7 adults and 3 children and when we came in, the restaurant was not filled. We ordered, and many other folks came after us. But we noticed they got most of their food, and we were still waiting for our orders. It took us a while to get even our waters. I only ordered guac and chips, and it came out first after 15 minutes of waiting. Everyone was still waiting for theirs. The kids each ordered ice cream, but they haven't got it and they got super impatient. After another 15 minutes of waiting, we just asked if we could get everything to go. When we got into our cars, we realized the ice creams were just packaged blue bunny cups (if they would have just served us those promptly, we wouldn't be so dissatisfied).

Food, when smothered with green chili, is quite tastyService speed depends upon the number of customers. I promptly order a margarita which I use to fill the time before food arrives. Service is fairly prompt and provided by a pleasant service worker.Ambiance--bring your own!

I am always happy with this place. Great Mexican food at great price. The owner is very dedicated to this business and they seem to do a lot of it. I will usually get something simple, but the food will always be good. I like chips and salsa and ice tea and they seem to keep refilling these with my meal until sometimes it is hard time move Very nice people running a great family business. I definitely recommend this place

I'm a regular take-out customer but decided to have breakfast these on Saturday for a change. I had the Potrancas omelet with chorizo, cheese and smothered in their own green chili. WOW!! So delicious and satisfying. And huge. Their green has some heat, not much at the mild level, and great flavor.My companion had Huevos Ala Mexicana. Big portion, perfectly cooked and he raved about it. Our server was warm, efficient and he was always there without being intrusive. He's a pro!I have never had a bad meal here...not even a mediocre one. Their chicharones are fantastic, their breakfast burritos are all great as well.

Food is still great but they continue raising prices well above what competitors are charging. They also can't get what their food comes with straight. Order the quesabirria often and it's come with lime slices but today I had to ask for them and they charged $1

I have been a customer of this restaurant for as long as it's been open. the food and service has always been excellent. Today I received brown guacamole, fatty carnitas which were dark brown on the ends and dry, and stale tortillas. When I asked for a little more green chili to put on my take home food since it was dry I was given about 4 ounces of chili and was charged $4.50 for it. I asked for a refund of the $4.50 and both the front desk womanand my server said since I ordered it I couldn't return it. I just wanted a little more chili and the server said "do you want a side"? I agreed not knowing it was so much. Eventually the server gave me $5 and told me to "get out".What happened to customer service here?My experience today was so upsetting and disappointing that i won't go back. Maybe the two folks I dealt with don't care they are losing a long time customer but I would hope the owners would. If I hadn't been treated so poorly when I asked for a refund, I could have understood the food was a one time problem. But the way they treated me was appalling, all over $4.50!!!

Beans taste awful. I got the smothered bean burritos and there was nothing redeeming about them. The chili didn't even taste like anything nor did the beans. Very strange. :(
