    Sausage and eggs .. very good
    Chad W.

    This is a gem hole in the wall. Super friendly staff and nice and clean and simply rad!!! Awesome food ! The green chili is bomb! And the hot chili oil is amazing! Would eat here often if I lived in Denver.

    This cafe has been around for a long, long time. The original owners sold it back in 2020 and it's a Mexican restaurant that offers breakfast and coffee now. Most of the menu stuff listed here on Yelp is outdated (don't go searching for the formerly famous blueberry French toast- sorry it's gone!). I took pictures of the new menu for everyone to see. I had a smothered breakfast burrito and they were so kind to put the chicharrones in it for me that were listed on the back page! It was phenomenal! I had it Christmas style and the chili did not disappoint. We were greeted very nicely upon entering and they brought us chips, salsa and water immediately. The staff seems to work really well as a team and it's a very pleasant environment. Both the ladies working today are super kind and friendly! The handheld burritos Togo are only $5 you can't beat that! They have nearly every flavor of Jarritos I've ever heard of, 2/$5 Redbulls and Rockstars, and a stellar selection of hot sauces!! Even though it wasn't the cafe I remembered- it was super delicious and an overall great experience! Happy we came here and we will be happy to return as well!

    Server was wonderful and super sweet! food was absolutely outstanding, gave me a taste of back home while here on vacation. felt like a cute little diner with music playing in the background, i loved the mexican pride all over. 10/10, marking this one on the map to come again the next time i'm visiting!

    Chicken street tacos

    These are the best street tacos I've had in Denver. Juicy, fresh, full of flavor. You cannot go wrong here. Although this cafe has been here many years, after I moved to the area a few months ago I knew I had to try it...and boy did I treat myself! The service was incredible. I walked in around 2:30 PM on a Wednesday afternoon and I didn't think much about the hours. But I was promptly greeted and asked what I'd like to order. It took me a few minutes, but I did realize that they were closing in about 30 minutes. I didn't feel rushed, but I did go ahead and order out of courtesy And my food came out within 5 to 10 minutes This place closes early so be sure to get there early, as they close at 3. It's a relaxing cafe vibe nothing fancy. The food speaks for itself. These street tacos have everything you are looking for greasy flavorful, juicy full flavored tons of toppings and just delicious. This will definitely be a regular joint as long as I live in this part of downtown.

    In town for a conference, hotel doesn't offer breakfast until 7am and it's 6am and I'm hungry. To my surprise, the only option is Starbucks (heck no!). So I Google, walk 15 minutes and find this gem. Do not judge a book by its cover. Nothing to write home about. I sat myself at a table and the staff came with the menu. First things first. Coffee and water. The menu offers were so Mexican and I mean that in a positive way. Yum, yum, yum! Didn't know what to order so I went with a Denver omelette, Mexican style. Huge portion, sauce in a bowl, bread in aluminum foil. Look at the pics to see what I'm talking about. Coffee was on point and the mug was unique. I consider the price relatively cheap. I'm from NYC, so this would be $25+ without the pro staff, portion and quality. Highly recommended and support a local business punching up to its competitors.

    My burger and fries  Yum

    What a really special place downtown. Food is so good. I love their cheeseburger and fries. But you know what I love even more? The guy that waits on us. Always smiling, always positive, anticipates your needs. The restaurant is small. Really clean. Great prices. Very cool chill vibe

    I really liked my shredded beef chimichanga, I thought it was a perfect portion especially for the price.
    Johana M.

    Great and quick service! Really friendly staff and felt welcomed right away. I like the small and homey ambiance so it doesn't feel too overwhelming. Enjoyed my meal and left with a happy tummy.

    Green Chili Carnitas Plate
    David D.

    The most amazing Green Chili Carnitas I've ever had. The service was the most friendly, and speedy. Best in Denver!

    Chilaquiles verdes, and wet burrito

    If I could, I would give 3.5 stars. The atmosphere is very cozy which I really enjoyed. We had the steak breakfast burrito and the chilaquiles verdes. The breakfast burrito was pretty good; the potatoes were soggy and not really seasoned, but the steak was good. The chilaquiles were good, but not great. They didn't have all that much flavor, but with the sour cream they were yummy. The service was also good, but not great. Overall I am happy we came here, and I think I would come again.

We ordered the guacamole, burrita de frijoles puercos, scallops, hamachi tostada, tuna ceviche, chilaquiles de borrego, enmolada de pato, and pancita pibil, and genuinely everything was a 10/10. The scallops and ceviche completely stole the show. The scallops were perfectly cooked and melted in your mouth, and the serrano ponzu with the tomato butter added this incredible balance of brightness and richness. The ceviche was one of those dishes where every bite makes you stop for a second to reflect. They used super fresh tuna with the charred avocado and coconut broth giving it so much depth while still feeling really light and refreshing. The hamachi tostada was another standout with the habanero mayo and orange bringing the perfect amount of citrus and heat, and the pancita pibil was unbelievably flavorful. The black bean purée underneath honestly deserves its own mention because it tied the entire dish together being so smooth and rich against the acidity of the pickled onions. Service was also flawless from start to finish. Attentive without hovering, great pacing between dishes, and everyone made the experience feel warm and welcoming despite every table being filled. This place fully lives up to the hype and is absolutely worth planning ahead for.

Looking at taco places, I went with something close by to our location and found this hidden gem. Nestled away on a small street corner of Clay Street and 32nd Ave. parking can be scarce, but I'm sure with the right time and a little bit of walking you will find and manage your way here. Outside the restaurant, they have a small seating area which now is winter too cold to enjoy, but I'm sure in the spring and summer and fall time is super enjoyable.

We already looked at the photos online and knew we want tacos so opted with the chicken tacos and Carne Asada taco plates. The tacos place option came with 5 tacos with up to 2 choices of meats the ratio would be 2:3 .. freshly mashed guacamole made in front of you or freshly sliced avocado.. In the pictures I listed you will find each chicken and Carne Asada options. Both slow pictures missing two tacos because we devoured them as soon as we got into the truck. Their street tacos are heavenly! Chicken option was all chicken breast super juicy grilled to perfection five tacos on a plate another two tacos missing because my husband and I devoured it. This plate came we asked it with the guacamole option instead of fresh avocado. The carne asada was just FULL of flavor and the fresh avocado slices with green tomatillo salsa SLAPPED.. the tortillas are super soft and tears from how fresh the flour tortillas were!!
