    Ordered pinto beans and no rice,  received the exact opposite.
    Stephanie C.

    Both orders were incorrect. One was supposed to be pinto beans and no rice, received the opposite. The other order was cheese and onion enchiladas, and received chicken enchiladas.

    Sweet Pork Smothered Burrito

    I never leave Greeley, Fort Colins, or Boulder with out getting some cafe Mex! This place has my heart, the sweet pork is to die for. I can't get a burrito like this anywhere in Colorado! Hope for a location in Denver/Aurora some day...

    This is a decent place for lunch. The place is clean. Avoid 12:00-1:00 pm as it is packed with local high school sports teams and such. My biggest complaint is that the chicken is AMAZINGLY SALTY and that has happened several times. They are generous with portions and smiling service.

    Thick tortilla much?
    Brendon O.

    Tried this place due to rave reviews from multiple people. I was unimpressed to say the least. The 6 or 7 kids behind the line all apparently had better things to do instead of engage with customers, or explain any part of the menu to. The kid running the register thought it would be a good idea to run and get quarters from the back while in the middle of a rush, the woman who was ready to pay was paying with a card. He had no urgency or any real care. When I asked for a water cup he just mumbled "over there." The food was pretty bad, I stuck with a chicken smothered burrito, with black beans, and hot chili sauce. Should have been a pretty safe bet. Unfortunately there were no other options on what to put in or on the burrito, you get chicken, lots of bad rice, and some beans. Then you get garnish on the side and its all smothered in cheese. The worst part of the burrito was the massively thick tortilla, it was about as thick as 4 other tortillas from any other mexican restaurant. The sauce was bland, it was no where near hot, not even spicy. Overall, I was disappointed, many people said this was a must try place in Greeley, but to me it was just another mediocre at best "step up from fast food" place, that I likely will not be back to.

    This place sucks. You can't say you serve breakfast burritos until 11:00am and not serve them at 10:50. Boo to this place. BOO!

    I have come here a couple of times now, great food. Staff was very nice on both occasions. I recommend a smothered burrito.

    Food is always good with great portions. The staff is friendly and the restaurant is clean. I…read moreordered The Gordo Burrito. The burrito filled the whole plate and is smothered is amazing salsa. I highly recommend. The margaritas are fantastic as well.

    We recently lost a family member who lived in Greeley nearly her entire life and her dear friend…read morerecommended the funeral party have dinner here for one last remembrance. It's a big place with lots of parking and tables but it gets BUSY in there. We had a party of a dozen people, and they had to push tables together in the bar. Kind of noisy if you intended to be able to hear each other so not ideal. That's not, however, something I'd ding them for. Just something to keep in mind for your gatherings. What was kind of a deal breaker is how long it takes for the host to get to your table to take your order and how long it takes to get your order. We were probably waiting a good 20 or 30 minutes for each of those events. That being said, the service is very friendly. But they must have been slammed. We saw smaller parties getting their order before us who had come in after us. I didn't get any feedback from the others on their food, but the portions are massive so there was a lot of waste. I had the large albondigas soup which was okay. It wasn't rich in flavor and got really salty if you dip the accompanying bread in it. The meatballs were just kind of greasy and the rice in them probably wasn't necessary. Soup contains zucchini which quickly begins disintegrating in the broth, some large chunks of potato and carrrot also floated amongst the many meatballs. Prices are on the more affordable side if you come from a larger city. Dinner entrees were about $14 - 17. Our entire party ate for only $123! I don't have any reason to ever return to Greeley so the question of whether I'd return is moot. I thought it was amusing that one family member got a margarita to go. WTH?
