This place is a diamond in the rough for real. Walked in and greeted and walked to our table Waiter friendly and gave his advise when asked about selections. Wifey got chicken enchiladas with a side of guacamole and she said it was amazing, salsa had flavor along with the food I got the taco plate with rice and beans along with some Horchata water with chips and salsa also all goodDefinitely a place to return to to pick up some food

I believe I found the unicorn awesome'hole in the wall Mexican restaurant'! I tried the beef enchiladas in red Chile with rice and beans. It was very tasty and tasted what I imagine good authentic Mexican fare would taste! The red Chile, even though they say its spicy, is very flavorfull and just the right amount of spicy! I have made red chile from scratch and I can tell what's good, and they red chili is awesome as many other Yelpers would attest!I can't wait to come back and try something else!

Since discovering Los Cuates last winter, we have been there once to dine in and five times for takeout. I've recommended it to everyone I know on this side of town. TL:DR this is the best-priced and tastiest no-frills Mexican food I have found in Denver. You can pay a lot more for hipster ambiance and hit-or-miss attempts at being "contemporary" or "innovative," but I'll stick to Los Cuates.What's good?Cheese enchiladas with red--The red Chile is Hot and the closest thing to New Mexican I can ask for in Denver. They may try and talk you out of it like many Thai joints do. Don't listen. These are my favorite in Denver (Sorry, Santos) and at $7.99 with rice/beans, I don't expect a challenger. Asada--Grilled to bring the classic taste I expect, this goes well in tacos with cilantro/onion and in a smothered burrito with either the spicy red or tasty green Chile. Bonus: They merrily serve items Christmas to allow a celebration of both.Adobada--Less spicy than expected, but robust.Refried beans deliver legit flavor and fluffy, spicy rice usually comes with them. Bland they are not.Food is consistently ready in 10 minutes, whether dining in or picking up. The owner, "Papa," is friendly and has been in the biz for a long time, What's not good? TBD. We've liked everything so far.I look forward to trying breakfast, pupusas, and tamales (regular or Salvadoran) at some point, but those enchiladas are hard to resist. Five stars for taste, quality, and value.

This place is a gem. People don't know what they are missing. If you know you know. We stumbled upon this place in search of really good Mexican food since we are from San Diego. You can tell when food is home cooked & fresh. If you like Menudo, it was tender like butter & so mouthwatering. We'll be back on our next visit

Los Cuates is the best Mexican restaurant in the area!!!The friendly staff here consistently serve high quality food QUICKLY and kindly. Their menu has plenty of options, but the chicken burrito I had today was a perfect choice!! Both of their chile options are phenomenal, and the employee taking my order recommended doing half and half which was a GREAT decision! I will definitely be making this a regular stop for a midday Mexican meal(:

Tony and his family care such a great deal about making quality, good food. It has been his dream to own a restaurant his whole life and the man and his family work harder than I have seen any other staff work to make good, fresh, food and service. I mostly take out food but sometimes I visit the restaurant and enjoy the small cozy feel of it and its ambiance. Thanks Tony and fam for helping me survive my training years in my field and for never disappointing. I have been coming regularly for 4 years now.

The BB con tocino y papas, smothered in red and green chile, was epic. Opened at 6:30am instead of 6am as advertised, but it was worth the wait. Quick, friendly service.
