I was in Denver this past weekend with my hubs and we were looking for a new Mexican place to try out. Stopped in at D'Corazon and we were not disappointed. We got there just in time for no wait. But within 10 minutes of arriving the place was PACKED. We gobbled up the warm chips and AMAZING salsa right away. (Give a free refill on chips and salsa and you will get 5 stars. I felt it was a little excessive to charge nearly $4 for a refill.) Our food came out quickly and was delicious. The atmosphere was fun and lively and our servers were very nice and quick to keep our waters full. We will definitely be back! read more

I seriously love this places, the owner and his family. They have the best food and service. Best Mexican place DT!!!

Being from West Texas, I tend to be overly critical of Mexican food restaurants but this place is amazing. Highly recommended!

Great food and decent prices! If you want Mexican in Denver, I highly recommend this place!

Although there always seems to be a line to get into the place, it has become a favorite of my office co-workers. The line moves fast. Have not had a bad meal here. Good and flavorful rellenos, enchiladas and tacos. Staff is friendly but efficient. And prices are reasonable. We keep going back. read more

Stumbled upon this place for lunch. Long line of people waiting outside I thought the food must be good. Regardless of the long line I was seated within minutes and a few minutes later my chimmichanga was ready. Outstanding. I will be back to try more of the dishes on the menu. As an added bonus my draft pacifico beer is covered in Frost and ice cold. Great food, great service. Keep it up D'Corazon. Highly recommended. read more

Always a great meal in a great lodo location. Nicely not pretentious in a neighborhood that is full of stuffy restaurants. Delicious Tex mex comfort food to start you're night on the town! read more

I need to be able to give this place 6 stars. We just moved to Denver from New Mexico and are missing our real Mexican food. Thus place is fantastic. The food is great, not as spicy as we are used to, but that's ok. Lots of menu options, and even fried ice cream! We will definitely be back! read more

I was literally talked into coming to this restaurant by a couple who were sitting outside. They noticed that I slowed down and they told me the food is great don't miss it. He told me that he has lived in Denver for over 30 yrs and that is his favorite restaurant. The place is very unassuming- full of locals (some of them did get hug from staff!) the ambiance is chill- with large TVs playing sport and the decoration is pretty random. Here what we tried: tamales one of the best I had- even the name of lady that is making it is on the menu! Their signature dish: Carnitas couldn't agree more- their Chile rellenos - mostly was Texan style with heavy coating and deep fried - asked the server about it because it did not the same as what we had before and he told us they prepare it Texan style - which is of course deep fried! And the pepper is not poblano because they have to work with they have and it is local read more

Hands down, this is the best Mexican food I have ever had in my entire life. The staff is so wonderful and welcoming! If you try this place, you will not regret it and nothing will compare. I really can't brag enough. read more

Been coming it opened, this place was great or is great as long as owner Eddie is here. We ate lunch here today Saturday, service was the worst I have ever experienced. Waitress takin pictures and playing on phn. Plates left on table, the food has really gone down hill maybe the millennial have made this place adapt! Sorry Eddie but ur service & food was terrible. Long time customer since you opened very disappointed! read more

Very impressive. A couple friends and I were headed to Rio for drinks before a concert. It was a complete zoo with terrible service so we looked across the street and saw D'Corazon! Best place to stumble on! We were reluctant to try a margarita since the rio is across the street. Zero competition!!! Margaritas and food were amazing! And the price was completely reasonable ($10-14 for food) even better part (I know, it gets better), margaritas were $3.95 with purchase of an entree! Service was a little slow, they could benefit from an addition to staff but that is to be expected when it is extremely busy. Overall, best unplanned dinner ever! I will be returning for date nights or events, any reason really! read more

Great, authentic and flavorful Mexican food. I'd highly recommend this joint. The only criticism was the service could have been faster/more attentive. read more

I've been to the location at 6th and Simms two times now. The $4 margaritas rock. The salsa is fresh and tasty. I am alway in search of mole, and I really enjoyed their mole chicken enchiladas. My husband thought their tamales and green chili stacked up fairly well with our other favorites. Service is quick and friendly. I will go back. read more

Loud, food has gone down hill big time. I don't think the auto 20% tip on our party of 8 was worth it. When I have to order an iced tea 3 times to get it to my table warrants 20%. Thanks for bending me over with your 20% and providing terrible service. I will be happy to let people know you have horrible service. read more

Amazing chiles rellenos. Really good mole too. And the margarita specials are fantastic! Go support this family-owned restaurant. The best Mexican in downtown Denver! read more

This place was good. When we arrived, the service was quick but it slowed down as the clientele picked up. Overall, the food good and there was a kick to the salsa and chili. The margaritas were delicious and not filled with overly sweet margarita mix: it actually tasted like a margarita! read more

My wife and I were craving Mexican food and asked the concierge at our hotel for a recommendation. This was the place and we could not have been happier. The food was EXACTLY what we were craving - fresh, just right spicey, and plenty portion-wise. The house margarita is cheap and tasty as well. Best tasting mexican and best value we've had in a long time. I'm definately hitting this place next time back in Denver! read more

Let me first say, I love Rio and the Armadillo. But this place is something else. It's amazing AUTHENTIC tasting Mexican food. I had the taco plate and it was very tasty (beef). This place seems to be routinely packed so that should say something about the food. Great price for great taste. Their drink selection seems a bit limited, but my frozen peach margarita was very good. This is probably my new favorite Mexican restaurant. I have no complaints whatsoever. GO HERE! And try it for yourself! read more

I had never been there before, and met a friend there for lunch on Monday. It was packed and what a great lunch. The carnitas platter was amazing. warm chips and spicy salsa too. I'll be back. read more

Man, this place is on point! It is a well oiled machine! Came in on a friday night and we were sat right away. Our server, Victor, was awesome! Drinks were always full and our food was delivered promptly. The food was great. Real authentic mexican. The green chili is soo good. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a quality mexican restaurant in lodo. read more

Favorite Mexican food in LoDo. The mole is sooo yummy and the husband always orders fajitas that he devours. Always good. The margaritas are also awesome! read more

This place has some of the best Mexican food in Denver. The carnitas are my favorite but everything is good - really. The service is friendly and fast - unless they're really slammed - but you have to give them a break for that. read more

My husband and I are transplants to the Denver area, and this is where we take all of our out-of-town visitors who ask for delicious Mexican food. Their menu has tons of variety; we love their combination platters. The ingredients are fresh and whatever we have ordered has always been delicious. Their house margaritas are very good as well, though not the best I've had in LoDo. What's more, their prices are incredible! read more

This is the best! Fajita Burrito rocked! It has some kick to it. Loved it. Great environment! Highly recommend!

Went there again yesterday afternoon. As always, had a very good meal. My wife and I have been coming here for many years. We first tried it after the better known place across the street couldn't accommodate us one Friday night. We have never felt the desire to return to that establishment after experiencing D'Corazon. As a side note, we were disappointed they closed their Lakewood restaurant earlier this year. Oh well, just gives us one more reason to go downtown! The food is consistently good. The chile isn't the spiciest but is flavorful. Portions are adequate for the price you pay. Their salsa is very good. Only downside is they do charge for additional chips, after the first basket, as other reviewers have noted. They also get your food to you within minutes of you placing your order. I have always had good service here. One of the best things about this place is the Margaritas. They are small but mighty! I personally don't enjoy a margarita that has a shot or so of tequila mixed into 24oz's of sugary empty calories, served in a fancy glass for $7-9. At D'Corazon, you get a strong but tasty margarita for $4. They limit you to four, or so the menu says. I have never felt the need to test this as they have never failed to, how shall I say this, improve my outlook no matter what kind of day I've had. But it gets better! After 4PM, if you order a dinner, you can get these bad boys for only $3! I challenge you to find a better bargain on margaritas in Denver. Ignore the place across the street and give these guys a try. You just might be surprised like we were. read more

This is the best Mexican I've had in Denver. The margaritas are top notch and the chicharones are a must.

My favorite Mexican restaurant in town. I've been going since it first opened almost 10 years ago. Family owned, if you come during the summer make sure you check that they are open as they close for a month in the summer for vacation. Try the mole and the steak burrito especial. read more

Everything on the menu is amazing. The food can only be beaten by how amazing the staff is. If you're looking for a family-style Mexican restaurant, you've found your new home! read more

This place is a gem, with good strong margarita and spicy salsa. I also love their burrito and chimichaga, lots of flavor. Check out their happy hours for margarita. read more

Service was good, but the food is spectacular. Authentic and fresh. I was visiting from out of town and heard this place was good, and I will DEFINITELY come back again. read more

Literally the strongest Margs ever served. Actually...the...strongest..I can never believe it! No carding and inexpensive plates make this place a favorite. Food is great if you're looking for somewhere to get no-frills Mexican. read more

My personal opinion - best Mexican restaurant in Denver area. This place has great food and drink, along with very friendly staff and the place is always very clean! This smashes on the nasty place cross the street "Rio Grande". I will always recommend this place, love it! read more

The BEST! Awesome food. Amazing margaritas. Super friendly and attentive staff. By far the best Mexican restaurant in Denver.

I can't say enough about this place. The food was spectacular. Spicy and loaded with flavor. I spoke to the owner and all the other guests at the bar until closing. So glad I stopped in. I learned about this place from locals so that means something right? read more

Just returned from this place with family members visiting from out of town. They wanted a good Mexican cuisine meal; and, As we were headed back from a Colorado mountain ski outing, we chose this restaurant location because it was along our return tour route & the ratings seemed reliable; However, this restaurant turned out to be a VERY BIG DISAPPOINTMENT, regarding overall service and Customer Satisfaction! If I/We could post ZERO stars, this is DEFINITELY what would actually be reflected here. We were a group of 9 adults. You would think that they would be prepared for any group size and have the capability to provide, at least a fair customer service experience; however, this was DEFINITELY NOT our experience. The best quality of service we received was the prompt delivery of water to our table immediately after we were seated; which was unprompted! We were not even asked if we chose to receive water. Although I can appreciate that thoughtful act, service thereafter was as an afterthought, or should I say without thoughtfulness or consideration, as we were pretty much IGNORED! We essentially had to flag them down for everything thereafter! We asked for salsa & chips, & were told there would be a surcharge if we wanted more, upon our requesting additional, due to the fact that they had only provided 2 very small portions of both chips & salsa for our table of, AGAIN, 9 Adults! The server took our ACTUAL breverage/drink orders approximately 20-25 minutes after we were seated; however, we were NOT serviced our drink orders for another 15-20 minutes thereafter; and that was because we HAD to flag them down to remind them! In the meantime, we watched while other customers who were seated AFTER us, not only received their 1st & then second drinks, BUT ALSO received their meal orders! How INSULTING! I'm NOT sure why we hung in there; but, we did stay, and ordered dinner, which took a VERY EXTENDED & UNREASONABLE amount of time. We were there for approximately 2 hours overall, and it wasn't because we'd completed eating our meal, but because ALL in our group were so VERY disappointed, that no one wanted to complete their meal, but instead, wanted to just LEAVE! I presume we did hang in there because we were simply determined to receive good service, OR we were just hopeful that the situation would just simply, get better. However, it DID NOT. Upon requesting our bill, that TOO was delayed. There was NO real eye contact by our server, nor any of the personnel there. We felt this HUGE sense of indifference from these people! I do not know if it was because they were just overwhelmed, or if there was an actual language barrier, or a LACK of Customer Service experience that caused this Unusual and VERY DISAPPOINTING dining experience. Regardless, upon receiving our bill, they automatically added their service tip onto our billing total, and when we asked why the tip was added automatically,--as we felt this gratuity should have been left up to OUR choice and discretion,--their explanation was that their policy there at D'Corazon is to automatically add a service tip for ALL orders totaling over $100! How LUDICRIS, RIDICULOUS, DISGUSTINGLY GREEDY, INAPPROPRIATE & UNACCEPTABLE! I DO know that at most restaurants, regarding dining group size, it is standard procedure to either add a surcharge, and/or a server gratuity; However, this information is usually disclosed prior by the server, or at least visibly posted on the menu or somewhere. As this was never verbally disclosed prior, there was DEFINITELY ample wait time for us to view it posted somewhere within there establishment. This was our UNFORTUNATE experience. I do not write reviews very often, because overall I feel that there are, in most cases exceptions regarding circumstances, that are sometimes unavoidable, which cause situations to workout poorly sometimes;--However, concerning this specific situation/ experience, this was NOT the case. This was simply VERY POOR and UNSATISFACTORY Customer Service due to cocky, arrogant indifference, disorganization and GREED. Upon departing this establishment, I did request to speak to the manager, where upon expressing our overall DISAPPOINTMENT & DISSATISFACTION regarding their POOR Customer Service, this so called Manager, did NOT even acknowledge my complaint with any type of reply or feedback nor an APOLOGY! He just stood there and said NOTHING!--I walked off. I/We would not recommend this restaurant to an enemy, much less friends, or the general public. We were DEFINITELY left with the distinct impression that, for this operation and the personnel we encountered, it was more about getting our money,--and as for even good Customer Service, they were simply INDIFFERENT! read more

This place is so good! And their house margs are affordable! You can tell it's family owned by the overall vibe of the restaurant! I love this place! read more

I had the burrito especial. This was the best burrito I've ever had. The seasoning on the steak just blew away any other that I had. The price was great too which probably enhanced the flavor. The margarita was par. The salsa was excellent as well. read more
