Plato Loco
Craig P.

Overall: 8/10 Food: 8/10 Service: 8/10 Ambiance: 8/10 Value: 7/10 We love this place. It's local to us and we're here all the time. The food is great and the service is friendly and helpful. My personal favorites are the Plato Loco ($$$) and the three item combo ($$). Their margs are awesome and plentiful as well. Stop on if you're in the neighborhood.

OMG. THIS PLACE IS SO GOOD. From our first bite (the homemade chips are so good) to the sopapillas (the best I have ever had) the food is incredible! And the decor is so fun!! And the service is perfect!! You must stop here and eat. Go hike in the lake a Palmer area and stop here to eat before 2pm when they close u til 4 pm. You're welcome!!

This place was recommended by a friend and definitely a drive from where I live so if you're nearby, I do suggest to go by as a family owned restaurant. The vibe is beautiful, and the food was delicious along with my beverage. They say the mocajete was where to go so that's what I had. It did not disappoint, but I can't say it was the best. That's just a preference. overall, an amazing restaurant.

Continuing our search for anything resembling good Mexican or TexMex, we ventured south of the border (the Castle Rock border, that is) to Larkspur. A few different people had recommended Charrito's House, so we gave it a try. The 3.5 star average is pretty accurate. First, the little house and somewhat dated, rustic setting is kind of neat. We were greeted and seated promptly. The menu is huge, and a lot looks good. I ordered the combination fajitas, and my daughter had the shredded beef enchiladas. Chips and salsa are both quite good. Salsa has a nice flavor with a bit of a bite at the end. Be aware, the first bowl of chips is free. After that, they'll charge $2.50/bowl and not tell you unless you ask. We saw that in the menu, but they're pretty quick to ask if you want more chips (of course we do, but not if we're paying for them). Food came out after a bit of a wait, but nothing too long. Unlike most other places, the fajitas were actually sizzling, so that's something. There wasn't a ton of meat, and what was there was kind of scrawny; however, both the steak and chicken had good taste, and combined with the peppers, onions, homemade Guac, condiments, and rice and beans (which were both fine), I had plenty of food. Of course, I took a pic of the sides but somehow forgot the fajitas. How did I do that?!? They'll also charge for substitutions. Even though I held the sour cream and other things, they charged $1.50 for an extra dollop of Guac. My daughter thought the enchiladas were ok. Not the best or worst she's ever had. I'm guessing she'd try something else if we decide to come back. We split an order of sopapillas for dessert. They were cooked perfectly and had great flavor, other than the strong amount of salt. Not sure if something was messed up in the batter or what should've been sugar and cinnamon, but they were quite salty. I guess mixed with the other flavors and honey, it wasn't THAT bad. We did eat them after all. Service was ok. Definitely not rushed. We had to ask for refills a few times, but overall, it was fine. So in the end, another 3.5 star experience. I'd come back if we were in Larkspur and hungry, but we probably wouldn't rush back down from Castle Rock with so many other options nearby.

Smothered Breakfast Burrito!

Stopped in for Breakfast Burrito. Greeted with a smile. A quiet unassuming place. Sat inside on this windy Saturday morning, but there looks to be ample.outdoor seating. They bought me chips & Salsa, while i waited for my Burrito. It came out and was awesome..Added bonus, they rent Kayaks for the little lake across the street!!

On our 12-hour drive back home from Denver, we stumbled across a diner full of neon, chrome, and…read moreall the vintage charm of the 50's. The aesthetic extends to the interior, complete with old school coin-operated jukeboxes. I'm a huge fan of breakfast food and diners, so my expectations were already high; Rosie's delivered. This is the spot for delicious omelettes and milkshakes wrapped in yesteryear nostalgia. If I lived in the Denver metro, I would make this a regular weekend spot. I'm certain many in Colorado are well aware, but I extend the recommendation to my fellow out-of-towners. Have a cup of cofffee, omelette, and maybe a milkshake; you might leave stuffed full, but not upset. I enjoyed a Greek Omelette and a cup of coffee while my wife ordered biscuits and gravy. Prompt service and warm dishes, a great morning prep for the long drive ahead. Stop by if you're in the Denver area. I wouldn't mind another meal the next time we end up in Colorado.

Busy night for dinner on a Saturday. Looks to be very popular place with the older aged folks. Though families with young children were here too. We have always loved diners and will come back next time we are close by. 5 stars!

The food here is so good, and the staff is even more amazing. It's very homely, not a big chain and it definitely shows. Everyone is so nice, smiles all around and it's an all around feel good place. They have the breakfast staples but also some specials that are creative and delicious! We've had nutella crepes, chicken fried steak, breakfast burrito (which is massive!) and a special of the day - strawberry cheesecake waffle. All the ingredients come together perfectly and melts in your mouth! The one thing you HAVE to get is the cinnamon roll. Eat it while it's hot and gooey, you won't regret it! Next time I'm going to get the Salted Caramel Cinnamon roll. On Friday and Saturday they are open until 8 pm so you can enjoy them if you're unable to make it during the lunch hours!
