"My new go to sit down spot. Great gringo menu and great traditional options. Happy hour was 2 to 6 with a great deal on the house margarita. Chips and salsa right when you sit down. The salsa has some heat for table salsa. I got the carnitas plate which was massive and phenomenal! Highly recommend the carnitas. The rest of the table got fajita burritos which were really good. Not a dish was bad on the table. Quick service even though they were slammed (on a Monday night) Cheap prices, great drinks, extensive menu. Love it! Parking is free and its OK until it gets busy."

"I went at lunch and got the stuffed sopapilla and crispy relleno lunch for 15 dollars That relleno was the best I have had. And the beans were so good. Fluffy rice and a good sopapilla. It was a great deal and the waitress was so nice and helpful. I will absolutely return."

"After stuffing our faces at the Northglenn Food Truck Festival (yes, I know... then we went to a restaurant--don't judge us), we needed a place to sit down, recover from sugar highs, and let the kids chill after spinning themselves into another dimension on the carnival rides. One of the kids picked this spot, and honestly? 10/10, would let them choose again. The place was packed--like, everyone-had-the-same-idea packed--so if you're planning to go, maybe beat the dinner rush or bring a folding chair just in case. Our server took a minute to find us (probably using GPS), but once she did, she rocked it. Drinks? On point. Food? Delicious. Vibes? Immaculate. And with five of us eating like post-apocalyptic scavengers, the bill didn't make me weep. Highly recommend--especially if you're recovering from carnival chaos."
