The food was absolutely amazing! I had the menudo and it reminded me of San Diego and Tijuana. The service was great too, you know the place is great when there is a line out the door.

Firstly time here. A friend recommended this place as they serve authentic Mexican food. That is true! Food was very very good. Now, in regards to the inside of the restaurant, I was disgusted. Tables were not clean ( I had to clean my own with sanitizer) and the floor is filthy dirty. I didn't even wanted to check the bathroom. The place doesn't feel safe in regards to hygiene. I won't be coming here again. I would probably do take out instead. In and Out!

This review is super long overdue but well deserved! I've come to this restaurant a variety of times and the quality has yet to disappoint. The only item that I've tried and will continue to order are the Gorditas, but throughout my visits they have been stuffed with different fillings every time. They have a variety of Mexican meats and fillings to chose from and you can add more than one item inside of each. From all the ones I've tried up to this day, my favorites are the Chicharron, Barbacoa, and their rice and beans are delicious. These are my favs but whatever your stomach desires I promise it won't be a let down! My personal recommendation is to always ask for them to be "enmantecadas" or in other words, fried. My entire life I've been in search for good traditional Mexican Gorditas in the U.S and I have to say these are the real deal. I used to live in So Cal and even being closer to the Mexican border I failed to find any there, until now but here in Denver!!! DE-LI-CIOUS!!!

I was here a month ago and I knew that I would have to come back. They have such a wide variety of foods for lunch. This time, I sat down in the restaurant and was able to leisurely enjoy my meal. All the foods behind the plasti-covered serving counter are labeled in Spanish. Everything looked so delicious, it was hard to choose. But I settled on beef desebrada, pork carnitas, rice, and beans. I ordered a large horchata as a beverage. All of this for only $15. Very friendly service at the counter and lots of hungry customers. I'll be back.

I've been here three times now so it's a regular spot.The menudo is solid though does have quite a kick with more chiles than any other menudo I've ever had.Also their gorditas are their best selling item so I recommend trying those. Lengua was disappointing but chicharones are large pieces with lots of flavor.Everytime I've been here it's also been quite busy, it's got a great reputation in the community and I recommend it for authentic Mexican cuisine.

Wow what a spot! In the heart of the Cole neighborhood, Los Molinos is known for Gorditas which I would highly recommend. The rice and beans are amazing, this is the kind of place where the combo plate makes sense. I had a smothered burrito which was a monster of an item, the green chile was on point.Would recommend to anyone looking for place for great Mexican food!

This is the definition of authentic Mexican in a typical Denver neighborhood. If you can get down with a smothered breakfast burrito, tacos, chalupas and wash it down with a Mexican coke straight from the glass bottle, then this high quality (5 star) & high value ($) restaurant is your next destination!

The restaurant was busy over the lunch hour and for good reason. Really enjoyed the asada con queso gorditas. The shells are a fat freshly fried corn tortilla split and stuffed with your fillings. Rice and beans are optional and tasty. I forgot to verify that they came with salsa and mine did not. There were grilled jalapeños and the beans were so good that I did ok without salsa. The woman filling orders was very kind. I will make a point to come back whenever I'm in the neighborhood again.

Los Molinos in Denver is a hidden gem, especially if you love green chili! Their green chili is absolutely amazing--perfectly spiced and bursting with flavor. I've tried it on burritos, in bowls, and as a side, and it never disappoints. The food is always fresh, and the staff is super friendly. If you're in Denver, don't miss out on this place!

Not sure what many people here called "Authentic" but the only thing authentic to them was the overprice for huevos rancheros at $16!!! Only a high end restaurant would charge this much and if the taste could have been worth it, then this review would be 3 stars. Overcooked buffet food from the week, NOT FRESH, just sits there with everyone who walks in brings in the dust which clings to the food. Slow service to boot and then overcharging drinks. Response "oh sorry" but no refund, like oh ok sure, good business! No ambiance to speak of. Don't recommend at all and would rather go to Taco Bell!!Triste que nuestra propia gente sea tan cargada con precios de comida y de pilón robar a la gente. La comida es hecha al principio de la semana y lo ponen en bandejas como recalentado y todo batido. Un asco!! Nada que recomendar!! Guacala!!
