La Abeja

I arrived here about 30 minutes before they were closing. The dining area is somewhat spacious but I'm not a big fan of their set up. You order at the counter, if you want a drink, you can grab it from the refrigerator on your left. You can then take a seat in the other room, and they'll bring the food to your table. When you're finished you go back to the counter and pay. Very unique. I was pretty much by myself when I ate until a party of 3 came about 10 minutes before they were closing. I was basically done with my food at that point. One thing I notice is that they had aguas frescas in the dining room, not the room where you order your food. Probably would have ordered an horchata if I had seen it when ordering. I ordered their Smothered burrito with carne Asada. They used cheap taco meat for the carne Asada, so it isn't a true carne Asada and it was served with rice and beans inside. The burrito itself was good, just wish the chili would have been a little bit spicier. Overall it was a pretty good meal for a decent price. They weren't very welcoming and they didn't check up on you to make sure everything was ok. It was missing the humbling Mexican welcoming one would expect in a restaurant like this. I would definitely still consider returning though.

The location of this place is not optimal. Right on Colfax and close to the road. However the food definitely makes up for it. The service is what you can expect in a place like this. Easy to order and friendly staff. I ordered a smothered burrito with steak. It was absolutely delicious.,A bit spicy but still very tasty, they have enough seating for larger groups as well. We went during lunchtime and it was not crowded. The prices was great for the food you got. I will definitely go back here!!

Best torta de asada I've had in Denver. Came out fast, my boyfriend got one de jamón and he loved it too. If you wanna support local, go here for some bomb food!

Exceptional huevos rancheros. Eggs cooked perfectly and they float into the fried tortillas, the beans are silky, and the thick green chile on top is super fresh. Ambience and service are both whatever, but that's not the point. Great place to get a green chile fix as a tourist.

Amazing hole-in-the-wall vibe with no-nonsense, prompt counter service. I ordered a torta carnitas and a horchata. Both were absolutely delicious. The carnitas were fall-apart tender and flavorful and the house salsa was bright and spicy. Portion on food and bev was enormous. I will be back to explore more of the menu ASAP. What an awesome spot.

Classic hole the wall, amazing, street tacos. No frills. They take your order in the front and you pay at the end. Carne asada, al pastor, carnitas were all moist, tender, and delicious. Three to four tacos is probably enough for a typical appetite as they are larger than average street tacos. Heard their burritos are great too but I haven't tried. The special tacos de alambres were a real meat-lovers cluster and a bit much. Otherwise, a great joint definitely worth checking out.

Some of the best green Chile I've had in Colorado! Quick, friendly, and delicious. Check out this authentic hole in the wall!

I'm in town for a weekend I. Denver and was really wanting some authentic Mexican food . I live in Houston,TX and we have Mexican every where . From the service to the the taste of the food. It's a great restaurant! I got the chilaquiles con queso and it was so fresh, crisp, and well seasoned. One of my favorite things was the salsas they have (beyond delicious) . I highly recommend this place

This is a hole in the wall with insanely good burritos. I had the asada and while it wasn't what you might think (thinly sliced steak?) it had an incredible flavor. I was warned that the green chili was too hot, but nope...it's got a kick and you'll be fine. Two meals in one burrito. The staff were nice and barely English speaking. The ambiance was very grungy and on a pretty tough strip of Colfax. If you're around, do it. I don't want to throw shade but I'm three blocks from an Illegal Pete's, a regular of Tacos Selene, but La Abeja slays.

Great breakfast but note menu price change c. 11 AM.Excellent desayuno and al muerza.
