    Birthday Cake

    For my wife's birthday, we took a weekend trip to Denver. While there, we had brunch at Chili Verde and had an amazing time. The food was phenomenal. The drinks were great. We loved the ambiance and service. And they gave us a treat when they realized it was here birthday. We will definitely return!

    What a cute and hidden gem on Federal. We were heading to Meow Wolf in a Friday night and looking for somewhere close. I rely pretty heavily on Yelp and this caught my eye. Please note, this is not your big plate, smothered Mexican restaurant. The food here is traditional/regional Mexican based food and very deliberate in flavors and presentation. We started with chips and 3 salsas - mild red, bean, and spicy. The chips were crispy and warm. We ordered guacamole next and it was super fresh and not overpowered by onions. For dinner, we ordered the Crepas Pablanas and Pollo a la Santa. Both were well made, delicious, and the presentation was on point. We appreciate finding a place where the food quality outweighs the quantity. We were able to enjoy dinner and not leave hungry or feeling overly full. We also had a nice conversation with one of the managers on the food origins. We def recommend.

    Huge disappointment overall: not gonna rate them a 2 just because they seem like good people and the positives were definitely the freshness of the food and the outdoor patio. But man just so overpriced: we were gonna share fajitas and got the chicken/shrimp combo. Wish I would have taken a pic for proof but no like it was barely a 1/2 chicken breast and THREE pieces of shrimp with 3 fajitas and small portions of rice and guac. Beans n peppers were decent. Then they have the audacity to charge for more chips when they come in like an 8 oz little cup and didn't mention it was extra. Marg was huge which was a plus. I'm sorry but with equally as good Mexican places around with much better portion sizes or cheaper prices, we won't be coming back.

    Googling where to eat before leaving to Greece, why not Mexican! Chile en Nogada caught my eyes and stomach, so we came here and it was close to home. Street parking only, but if there are none you can go park in the residential area. We were the only ones there, but a few more came as we ate. The interior and ambiance was nice and it seems as if they have dancing/salsa nights. The bar took up one side of the restaurant, but it was a bit early for drinks....well for the other table. It was 11am, but I guess it's HH somewhere around the world. They served us chips and salsa, beans, and this hot chili. I read about the chili and oh man, it was eye-watering-nose-dripping delicious lol. *note that chips and salsa is not complimentary. We wanted more chips and that was additional $$. Just FYI. My boyfriend ordered 3 soft tacos and he enjoyed the steak the most, then pork, and chicken. He could've done without chicken and ordered another steak. Obviously I ordered the Chile en Nogada and it lived up to it's hype. It was a tad bit too much for me and my boyfriend was happy with his simple tacos. Will come back again when we crave Mexican. Just glad it's close to home.

    The best Mexican restaurant I have visited in Denver, Chili Verde, combines atmosphere with exceptional, genuine food with a Puebla origin. It is genuine and so darn good. Located in Federal Heights near a busy intersection, Chili Verde was an exceptional stop on a Saturday night. The weather was spotty, so we elected to sit inside instead of enjoying their inviting outdoor patio. Greta, our server, was friendly, informative, and kind. She never rushed our foursome and made it a terrific experience. The interior was warm, making the entire visit even better and a very cool mural as a centerpiece. I loved the homemade chips (more, please) accompanied by multiple salsas, one red-hot, and I enjoyed it immensely. But the highlight was my dinner choice, Mole Verde, which was presented extraordinarily well and tasted even better. It was an incredible dish and such a unique meal option. My friends enjoyed their respective meals: crepas poblanos and mole poblano, but I wasn't jealous because my choice was phenomenal. Met the owner (Eder) after this amazing meal, and now I see why the place is so darn good. He is from Puebla, Mexico, and embraces his homeland. The whole staff is kind and professional, reflecting his personality. Without a doubt, coming back. It is too good an experience not to visit more frequently.

    Great stop near Sloan's lake. The owner gave us great insight to the menu which we figured out quickly that everything is delicious! We got the Crepas Poblanos, the Chile En Nogada, the Chili Verde and for dessert the flan! Everything from the service to the food to the atmosphere was fabulous! Will definitely be back to try more of the menu!

    I was so looking forward to this restaurant because of all the awesome online reviews but I was greatly disappointed. The ONLY thing good about this place is their food (although on the pricy end and also on the smaller portion side)--but other than that their servers were super slow, did not understand our orders at all (limited English) so my sister had to translate for her friend, then the restrooms were locked up and the worst part is that there was no AC so it was brutally hot inside. We ended up seating ourselves outside but it was still uncomfortable warm. Parking is also very limited here. I don't think I would be coming back to this place in the future.

    On a recent trip to Denver, we decided to give this place a shot after finding it on Yelp. Man, this place was amazing. We will be coming here every time we come to Denver. Everything was great from the service, to the food, to the cost. I'm a huge mole fan, and this is probably my favorite as it's spicy. Chips and salsa were even amazing. After hearing it was our anniversary, they even brought a pink rose out to my wife and also gave us a piece of cake.

    Looking for some good Mexican food, I remembered this "you can easily drive right by it" place on Federal. It's surrounded by your typical Mexican restaurants--one literally across the street and a half dozen just blocks away. But from its sophisticated storefront design and logo, it hints at something special. Once inside, the restaurant is spacious with high ceilings and interesting, colorful decor. It was a gorgeous day so we chose to sit outside on the patio. The service was quick, attentive and very friendly. I chose two different street tacos, which were amazing! definitely among the best street tacos I've ever had in the Denver area. My partner chose the vegetarian burrito and reported it was very good as well. She would've liked slightly more variety of veggies inside, but reported the taste was top-notch. I won't be forgetting this place any longer - it's going to the top of my list for Mexican food. PS. Even the chips and salsa are far above average. The chips were excellently crispy, and perfectly salted. And you get three different salsas!

    Came here on a weekend night, and it was not very crowded. We got seated easily, and I like the ambience service was friendly too The food has absolutely great flavors, and I will come back for the food . - mole: my favorite - hot salsa: really spicy! I like - I also ordered a beet salad and some guacamole This is a great spot and food was perfect. My only wish is that the portion was bigger for the price

Instead of addressing the situation professionally, he immediately told both of us to leave the bar. This was an incredibly uncomfortable situation to deal with, especially on New Year's Eve, and it left us feeling embarrassed and disrespected. The first thing my girlfriend said to me the next morning was how uncomfortable that bartender had made her feel, which says a lot. I truly wish we had never gone to this bar. No one should feel pressured, sexualized, or thrown out for speaking up when their boundaries are repeatedly ignored.

Atmosphere: The theme here is so cool! It's all about Abraham Lincoln but with a modern, artistic twist. There's really neat artwork everywhere showing different looks of Lincoln. It feels like a true old timey speakeasy. It gets very busy after 8 PM, so be prepared for a bit of a wait, but the energy inside is awesome. Price: This is the most budget-friendly spot I've found in the area. Almost everything is $5! It is CASH ONLY, but don't worry if you forget. They have an ATM inside for you to use. Drink: I ordered the Continental, which is their take on an Old Fashioned with a black cherry. It was delicious and definitely didn't taste like a cheap drink despite the price point.

Overall Experience: Whether you're visiting and staying near Union Station or just looking for a fun local getaway, I highly recommend this place. We walked from our hotel, but if you drive, be prepared to look for street parking or a garage. It's fun, cheap, and has great theme nights. I'll definitely be back!
