This is our favorite Mexican restaurant. They make the best carne asada! The skirt flank steak is…read morewell marinated, tender, and full of flavor. It's served with guacamole, pico de gallo, beans, and rice. I'm not a big fan of beans, so I usually ask for extra rice instead. The carne asada has a wonderful grilled aroma and taste, and the portions are always generous--there's usually enough left over for a doggy bag. The staff is quick and very friendly, and the menu has plenty of great options to choose from.

The Agave Challenge for Denver has selected 70+ restaurants across the metro area to feature a dozen tequilas (agave) for the month of June. El Tequileno is one of those restaurants committed to the challenge. At El Tequileno, they had three selected spirits to choose from. I chose the Reserva De La Torre blanco. The bartender was knowledgeable about what the challenge consists of and she was quick to serve and make us our quality drink.

My Monday's delivery order from this Quincy location of La Fogata was quite surprising, in a good…read moreway. I was glued to my home computer for work. I didn't want to drive even to one of the nearest restaurants to get food and this included La Fogata; I was that buried with work. I had no choice but to opt for a delivery even though this meant paying arm and leg of ridiculous fees. It was the day before Cinco de Mayo so my tired mind could only think of Mexican. La Fogata was one of the options and probably the closest Mexican restaurant. I have had both good and bad experiences with this La Fogata in the last so I sure was hoping for something at least decent. After browsing the menu, Dos ($20+) appeared a good portion so I placed it through one of the delivery apps. The time was in between lunch and dinner. As I followed the progress of it on the app, the restaurant was quite prompt about preparing my meal. The next moment I realized the driver was already on his way to my house. Wow, so quick! The restaurant is only about 5-7 minutes away from my house. It didn't take long before my food was placed right in front of my house. As I opened the plastic bag to inspect my much anticipated meal m, I realized that the restaurant did a fantastic job by separating the food into different parts/containers so certain things would stay fresh and not ruined by others. What a conscientious gesture this was! This sort of meticulous effort is something I truly appreciate and value. Now the food's quality.... Dos is a good portion indeed. I remember dining at the restaurant with a friend of mine a year or so ago. He had this dish which he enjoyed. As I started eating it myself I realized why he liked it so much. The ground beef was well cooked in spices with the perfect amount of salt. The refried beans were not too thick where its creaminess was just right. The salad part (lettuce, tomatoes and shredded cheese) were all together in one container to be away from the hot part of the dish. There was absolutely nothing wrong with the dish. And like I have already mentioned it surprised me. As this was a delivery order I can't speak of the restaurant's ambience and/or cleanliness but as far as I remember I had never found the dining room dirty when I dines in a few times in the past. Well, I have a reason to thank La Fogata today.
