Mesa Verde

In a rush at the airport didn't have time to stop and grab a meal?Denver Airport has lots of choices for restaurants. Today we tried Mesa Verde and were pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food. Definitely, a level above most choices. Rachel was a friendly lady and the service she provided was excellent. She had a vote in our decision on what to order. The Western burger or the Colorado burger? She said go with the Colorado burger and that was a great decision! Bacon, double patties, chilies and cheese! Quite delicious as I rarely have a burger. It was large enough for two people! The waffle fries were crisp and hot. The restaurant has lots of tables spread out and it is a clean environment . Two thumbs up

I had a burrito that was filled withCilantro riceBlack beansPoblanosRoasted cornAnd this amazing sauceI definitely would recommend this place it's great airport food and the bar tender Jessica is her name, ask for her.......,

Other restaurants were packed so we gave this sleepy restaurant a try. Food was not good, but it was nice to sit down and feel relaxed for a bit before our flight. The nachos were dry and flavorless. We asked for a side of queso since it was mentioned in the menu u and there wasn't much on our nachos. My husband thought my street tacos were okay, but I thought they were too bland. The drinks were good. They allowed us to order To-Go cups of wine on our way out. We were able to drink our wine while waiting to board our plane, but were asked to throw them away after we boarded the airplane.

On a very busy February weekend, the Centurion Lounge was impossible to access, so I ventured to Terminal A for what's deemed the best food in the Denver Airport. Note: you must take the escalator up to the mezzanine level (not far from the USO). For $35, I had a margarita and a bowl of what was called chicken tortilla soup, though I might argue that point. The margarita was called a "coin" margarita, which this TexMex has never heard of. It was short and squatty but good.The soup was not quite what I expected or what was described. I think I found one chunk of chicken, a couple of corn kernels, and no "fresh cilantro." For $10.95, I also expected a larger volume--this didn't feel any larger than a cup. It tasted like a bean dip that's full of chipotle and chili/taco seasoning. Not bad, but different. The accompanying tortillas were not like my abuelita's; they were super thin, the flavor was ok, but where the middle was soft, the edges were very stale, like they'd been sitting out in a dry climate all day. The service was friendly enough, though they seemed understaffed for the busy ski season. Despite lots of empty tables and open spots at the bar, they were on a 20-minute wait. When the bar finally "reopened" for open seating, I snagged a spot there even though I was next on the list. The menu is pretty extensive, so I might give this place another try one of these days.

Chips and salsa trio is a nice little snack while waiting on your flight. Jason S was our bartender and he was pretty good. Drinks are a bit pricey but it is airport pricing of course. I had a Sauvignon blanc and husband had a beer. It is on the upper level of the airport so it is a relaxing place to get a drink. Some of the patrons were getting burritos and they looked pretty good.

Worst service ever here. As soon as we were sat down our waiter had an attitude about a question my husband had about the menu. I don't remember his name but he was balding with a beard. My husbands burger came out cold and that solidified for me no tip for the rude bald man and poor service he provided. As we left the restaurant he tried to trip my husband and then called after us thanking us for not tipping lol. Definitely made the right choice not giving him any extra money. Never going back here on my travels I can get better service at chipotle.

This is not a Michelada - this is a red beer. Any Michelada where the beer has to be repeatedly poured into the glass as you drink messes with the mix to beer ratio. It's unfortunate because at the end of the drink you are left with iced beer and pepper... Simple solution - larger glasses and a mix that isn't so obviously Bloody Mary because the two are NOT the same. The green chile is typical Colorado fair. Unlike the green chile I grew up with that burned holes in my tongue (I'm not complaining) It's not overly seasoned and mild so anyone can try and enjoy it. Marcos the bartender was great.

Between flights, I stopped in because I saw a lot of good reviews. I will say their best quality is the speed at which there entrées come out and the friendliness of their staff. I had the Street Tacos (Carne Asada), which came with rice and black beans. The beef was not carne asada, more like roast beef. The rice and beans were disappointing as well. I read rave reviews about the lava cake. This was an over baked cake that had no hint of lava and no amount of ice cream could save this. So my ratings are:Service 4/5Friendliness of service 5/5Carne Asada Street Tacos 1/5Lava Cake 0/5My suggestion is to find somewhere else to eat.

Didn't stay because the place was moving so slowly and they didn't seem to care if you were there. They were whining about how slow they are yet people are sitting around, just waiting and waiting to get an order place. Maybe they have good days and bad days, but this was a bad experience so I walked out.

If Taco Bell was a sit down restaurant at an airport. Mac n cheese was way overcooked, chorizo was worse than the cheap stuff at Walmart, and not friendly on the stomach.
