Food is always on point. The service is amazing. Very fresh. The green Chile is the perfect amount of spicy. I usually crave the burrito I order. read more

We love Denver Fresh Mex and eat here about once a week. We always get a breakfast burrito with no eggs and the vegetarian green chile. It's delicious and affordable. The lady who takes our order is friendly and always remembers us. We really enjoy seeing her and catching up every so often. The place itself is small with only a few seats but we've spent many mornings there with our daughter, playing old maid and enjoying a good meal. We're thankful this place exists. read more

Staff is great: fast, warm, welcoming, appreciative. The restaurant itself is clean and inviting. The food is just... okay. Fine. Acceptable. Solid in a pinch. I've never been blown away by anything I've had here, but also never been disappointed. And sometimes, that's fine. Good prices and the location have kept me visiting if I'm in the right frame of mind. read more

Best grilled tacos around! Food is always fresh, quick and service is great! Definitely recommend!

No trip to Denver is complete without breakfast burritos. Denver Fresh Mex seemed like a solid, no frills spot to grab one and I'm glad I found it thanks to Yelp. You can snag a discounted breakfast burrito for $2.50 and the filling changes depending on the day. I wasn't feeling the flavor of the day so opted for a bacon, egg and chile (inside) which was $6.00, along with an orange juice. The menu is pretty large and features other Mexican favorites if you're not grabbing breakfast. The burrito hit the spot. It was quite large so I didn't mind paying $6 but of course, $2.50 is a steal! There are only a few stools inside for seating and a patio outside with tables if it's not cold. Overall though, I'd say this spot is best for grab and go. There's a parking lot which makes it easy to stop in! read more

Denver Fresh Mex - Menu and ordering window - Mexican Near Me - Denver, Colorado

What a hidden gem! Hilarious that it's right out in the open but you would never know it. I was in the mood for a breakfast burrito on my morning walk so decided to look on my map for options nearby. Saw this place has good reviews and $2.50 breakfast burritos so decided to give it a go. From the outside, this place looks kind of rundown so I wasn't sure what to expect. Tip, when you go inside there is a little call bell next to the counter. You can also order from the window outside, but I only recognized that after seeing a couple guys do it. The person that came to greet me was so friendly and had a great energy about her. The service was fast - since it's only a burrito of the day, I imagine they batch prep. Coffee was really hot and good. So glad I found this place! read more

Went there this morning for the first time got a beef bean burrito with side of green chili and chips. Lets lets say the chips was the only thing fresh the beans and beef taste old and the green chili was cold and my jobs only 3 mins away if that. Highly highly disappointed and will never try again read more

I'm thrilled that Yelp isn't destroying this place and the reviews are good and fair! The exterior of the building and deck ARE dilapidated and I wasn't entirely sure the restaurant was actually operating until checking it out recently. Give it a shot. The entrance is along Franklin, so the impression you get when driving by it on Colfax is a little misleading. Ignore the deck, a little adventure in turning a blind eye to structural soundness keeps you humble ;). CO is expensive, and this place offers a good value in comparison to what you'll get within much of Denver proper. I've gone here 5 times in the last 2 weeks. A sweet soft spoken woman always takes my order and gives me my food at the window. I expect it is family owned and operated, she has a lovely demeanor, and the food comes out fast. The exterior walk up option is great during Coronavirus times, and she always is wearing a mask. I've tried all of their $2.50 ($2.70 including tax) breakfast burritos that are offered each weekday from 7-11am. It's a bargain! To be honest, I can't really decipher a difference between them as I mostly taste the chili and potatoes more than the meat of the day, but that's fine with me. I believe they make a whole bunch of them each morning and then they sit waiting for you, but they taste fresh and are always at the right temperature, so if they've been hanging around for a couple of hours depending on what time you go, that's fine with me. I will definitely be picking up more $2.50 breakfast burritos in the future. I really think they are as tasty as a bunch of other pricier breakfast burritos you'll find around Congress and Cheeseman Park. I've also tried their $8 Chicken Burrito Smothered, which came to $8.64 including tax. I am unsure of what the difference might be between what I got and the "Smothered Deluxe" but I saved myself 50 cents in any case?! It was plenty large and filling. For my taste, I wish it was just a skosh less spicy, but I think that can be attributed to my own wimpy and classless palate more than their seasoning choices. I am not sure I'd get it again but I was happy with what I got size and cost wise, and the chicken was This is my kind of place. I hope they hang in. read more

NotClosed! Just moved 2 blocks east. Was previously at 1600 east Colfax (at Franklin street) now at 1818 east Colfax (at Williams street) read more

I swore I'd never go inside this place based on the looks of the building, but was persuaded by the reviews. HOLY HECK I LOVED IT. Steak burrito with chile inside was ON POINT. read more

These are some of the best burritos i've ever had personally... my only issue is the fact that almost every time i pull up they are closed. they will be closed randomly and it's so upsetting when i'm craving a ridiculously awesome burrito. I highly recommend if you catch 'em while they are open!!!! read more

Is this place a hidden gem?! I can't believe I've never been. $2.50 breakfast burrito of the day between 7-11AM on weekdays. And they're only about $5 normally. I really want to go back and try some of their other dishes :) read more

Maria's food is always hot and always sooooo good. Coming from a big boy you better go check this place out!

Best breakfast burritos in town! And only $3 I love how they have a different burrito every day of the week.

Unassuming little spot at Colfax and Franklin. Decent breakfast burritos for a good price. Lots of eggs and potato, not as much chile as I hoped. Not my favorite spot, but work trying if you're in the area. read more

I like this spot for its unassuming hustle and flavor. It's clearly a family run, one or two people at a time, kind of spot where you order at the window and then they run back to make it if it's not the breakfast burritos they make in bulk every morning for $2.50. Also tasty! The beef and bean burrito is great with one end open to pour your salsa in, and the onion rings were perfectly crispy and soft on the inside. Easy in and out spot. I just wish they were open on weekends again! read more

Best Bang for your buck. It's a tiny little building with a grand menu with many to choose from. I opted for the beef taco and guac tostada, my cousins got a enchilada, smothered burrito, bean burrito, chips, guac, and salsa. We went to sit on the patio where there is covered seating by umbrellas. Food was given at around the 10 minute mark and we feasted. I was disappointed because I got a crispy taco rather a soft taco - I saw on reviews they had soft tacos so that's what I was expecting. The beef is actually really dry and needed to be doused with salsa. Taco Bell had more moist meat than that. The tostada had a generous amount of guacamole and a whole salad on top, however the actual taste of the guac was on the sour side and I wish they opted for a chunkier guac rather than super smooth. Because it is a mom and pop and everything's cheap, I'm not overly upset about my meal. I went back in to get some churros just to fill myself up more, and they came out piping hot and were delicious. My cousins portion were huge, their chips and salsa/guac were delivered in tubs which we did not expect. Parking is available here as well and service is nice. read more

I got into Denver, checked in, and needed a quick bite so I walked a bit on Colfax and found this place after my number 1 choice had a line. I liked the concept of fresh mex and ordered a smothered chicken burrito (smothered comes with green chili sauce and cheese on top, super smothered or whatever it is called adds lettuce and tomato). The service was ok and the food came out fast. I sat outside on a beautiful day (there are only about 5 chairs inside) and enjoyed a VERY spicy, but very delicious burrito. It was not deep fried so that was good. The burrito was full of chicken the sauce was excellent, a real tribute to Tex-Mex even in Colorado. I liked the place and would return. Prices are very reasonable. read more

Denver Fresh Mex checks the list of good, affordable, and ultimately satisfying. I ordered the deluxe spicy chicken and my oldest son ordered the Chile Steak burrito, the clear performer was the steak burrito. Tender well-seasoned steak with spicy green chili mixed with gooey cheese. Delicious! Not to mention there burgers are pretty darn good as well. Don't discount this place for a diner burger. The service also goes above and beyond. My sons love to eat and love to ask questions about the food. The lady helping us was so helpful and nice to my family, she even gave us a free sample of the red chili. This place is a great little spot to grab a yummy cheap bite. read more

I drove past this place for way to long. Like I have mentioned before, colfax can certainly be hit or miss. This place however gets a full five stars. It is a walk up window with SOME outdoor seating, so I usually come here on the go. We have gotten breakfast burritos and lunch here and it has never disappointed. There are three main reasons I love this place: 1) The prices are such a good deal. They don't rip you off and you can get a lot of good food for your money. 2) Everything is smothered in deliciousness. You can get anything you want smothered and they have a lot of things on their menu. 3) Vegetarians can eat here. Although I am not an official veg head, I tend to choose a veggie option a majority of the time. They have lots of options for vegetarians and you cant order right off the menu without having to make a million substitutions. Go here for breakfast burritos anytime after 7 am. They are amazing. I also love their green chili. It is spicy and will give you a little kick in the ass! read more

This place is amazing I come here daily. Veggie green chili on the California burrito, absolute dank, you can't go wrong.

Nothing about this place is fresh. They purchase ready made food like grilled chicken with painted grill marks, mash avocado passed as guacamole. The whole thing tastes like a bad TV dinner. I don't know how they're stil in business. Not sure if I was supposed to be drunk to enjoy this food. Pass on this place and go elsewhere. read more

I just moved to Denver and have found the go to spot for quick Mexican. From the tacos to the $2.50 breakfast burrito- this menu is tasty top to bottom. Maria and the staff are always pleasant and a joy to see! Give Fresh Mex a shot and you won't regret it!! read more

This place is closed. Boarded up. No sign of life. Wanted a breakfast burrito. Super bummed.

This is one of the best places in Denver to get a quick, cheap, and delicious breakfast burrito. I've been here multiple times and (gasp!) I like it a whole lot better than Santiago's. Their lunch meals are great as well. I'm a fan of the chili relleno plate. My coworkers enjoy their burritos. Their chips and guacamole are a great treat. read more

Denver Fresh Mex breakfast burritos have SO much flavor! I don't know how they do it but with green chili or without this is the most flavorful (yet not salty) breakfast burrito!! The service is also always friendly and fast. Don't be fooled by their pot hole parking lot, grab a burrito here!! My only wish was that they opened earlier so we could grab some on the way to skiing!! read more

For anyone who has eaten at Chubby's... don't bother with this badly done imitation. To start, it is seriously over priced for the quality of the food, and I mean the reasonable expectation of quality that I have for inexpensive fast food to satiate my craving for salty, fatty, goodness. The Food: My wife got a beef hard shell taco and it was VERY boring. It tasted like ground beef cooked with that packet taco flavoring with some lettuce and tomatoes on top. The salsa it came with was nothing to write home about. She got a guacamole tostada, too, that tasted like it also came from a package. I had a "Deluxe Smothered Beef Burrito" and there was nothing deluxe about it. The "green" chile had virtually no flavor; it was basically lard with some chiles in it and some cayenne for heat. The beef was the same stuff that was in the taco. It wasn't even meh, all the way around. I wouldn't say it was the most horrible thing I've eaten, but it's pretty close and the quality to price ratio is seriously out of balance. read more

Denver Fresh Mex is only a walk up window indoors and a patio seating area outside, so in the winter it is mainly a quick serve to-go restaurant. I have only been for the $2 breakfast burrito. It's smaller than their normal burrito, but a great value! It's only available from 7am-10am and the meat rotates daily so check the sign next to the register. They also advertise a $5 lunch special I can't wait to try. I will update this review once I have a chance to try a full main menu item. read more

They have really yummy breakfast burritos. You can get the daily special burrito for 2.50 before 11 or just go with the larger one with filling of your choice all day. I get mine open on corn tortillas to be gluten free. No chili, yummy salsa on the side and I like to add beans. The steak tacos are really good as well as the tostadas, bean and guacamole! They are quick and relatively inexpensive. And the service is awesome! read more

I had been wanting to try this place for a while. I needed a fast lunch, and it is that. They also have very inexpensive food, and daily and student specials. I am not opposed to eating here again. It is really not bad in a pinch, if you are in the area and want quick inexpensive chow. I got the tamale plate which is generous portion wise to say the least. They said they made their own tamales. The filling was just chopped or braised pork with little seasoning. I ate one there and took the rest home. When I reheated them they were saltier than I remembered. The burrito fillings are not authentic Mexican, which I would kind of assume with the name, but they have chicken, pork, steak, etc. They do not have carnitas, lingua, al pastor etc. There is parking in back, not a bad little joint. The chile they smother with is spicy and it tastes good. read more

For fast Mexican (spicy too!), go to Bubba Chinos. It is located in the west side of the building of the old flower shop (a yellow building) at the corner of Colfax and Franklin. We thought this was a full, dine in type restaurant, but it's not. You walk in the door that you access from the patio, on the west side of the building (on Franklin). The menu is on the wall to the left, and you order is taken by the young woman at the window. She will bring out the food to you, once it is ready. You sit outside, on the patio. You do not dine inside, as there is no seating inside. So, when you go, make sure it's not 100 degrees outside, unless you like the hot temperatures. There are several umbrellas, but still, you need to know. Prices - not badly priced. A beef and bean burrito, smothered with lettuce, tomatoes, and green chili is $5.60. A chicken burrito, smothered with lettuce, tomatoes, and green chili is $6.35. The "smothered deluxe" is the smothered with the green chili, lettuce, tomatoes, and cheese. The plain beef and bean is $4. The plain chicken is $4.10. Bean, and Beef Tacos and Tostadas are 99 cents each. Taco Salads are $4.50. The Huevos Rancheros Plate is $6.00. This is an example of some of the prices. Service - as I stated above, the food is brought out to you by the woman who takes your order. Everything is served on styrofoam, etc. There is no clean up then, which isn't that bad. This keeps the overhead costs low for the owners - not such a bad idea. So... not too bad... not to die for.... just good, fast, and spicy! read more

I had some time to kill while waiting for my appointment at Floyd's. So I was driving down Colfax and saw some activity at this place. Well apparently today was their grand opening and they were giving away Chili cheese fries. Who can't resist chili cheese fries, right? Since I had time on my hands I decided to check it out. I think half of the pedestrians of Colfax were here. So I ordered a cheese quesadilla, a soft drink and the free chili cheese fries. The quesadilla was really marginal. No frills---tortilla, grilled on a flat top and some cheese. A little greasy and $.99 cents. The "World Famous" chili cheese fries were OK. The green chili was different as it was kind of red. It had a delayed heat and not a lot of distinct flavor. It was almost like a boring green chili with cayenne pepper in it to make it hotter and change the color. The person handing out the free cheese fries to half of the Colfax clientele was kind of rude. I get it, all the free loaders (hey, I was not because I spent a whole $3 on other stuff :-) ) Found it interesting that the hamburger is $.99 cents but if you want cheese it goes to $1.90 but then a double cheeseburger is only $2.10. Interesting pricing. Another interesting observation is that you can get 1-gallon of chicharrones for $37.50. Anyway, I would be interested in trying some other stuff on the menu to see how it is. read more

I love this little spot. They are very nice and the $2.50 breakfast burritos are the bomb.com. Try it, you'll like it. Promise. read more

This place used to be the home of Bubba Chinos, which was sub-par at best. Denver Fresh Mex took over and we decided to give it a shot being that it was close to our house and a perfect location to watch the the crazy Colfax people. They have a different $2 breakfast burrito each day of the week. They're jam-packed with ham/bacon/chorizo/etc, spicy green chili, cheese and potatoes. They rival Santiago's, they're that good. 2nd time we went, we ordered a chicken quesadilla, a couple beef tacos and tostada. All very delicious. Quick service (called it in). And all very cheap. I'm not sure how others on here are saying this place is "expensive," because it's far from that- very reasonable (unless you panhandle for a living). Good stuff, we'll be back. read more

It was starting to rain as I was in Denver so I stopped here. I've only ever seen their logo and not their menu and thought they were all pretty shady. This one wasn't so bad. The only had 1 table inside the building and a huge patio. that wasn't a problem till it started raining. The food was pretty good to my surprise and the green chili was very spicy. Though 2 burritos and 2 drinks put us back 20 bucks and I wont lie. The food wasn't worth that much money. It wasn't bad but it wasn't mind blowing and the service was very slow. if you happen to be in the area and need some hardcore handover food or just feel like tex-mex stop here. I wouldn't say seek it out though. read more

Before I even went in---I stared up at a billboard-size menu with KS 107 blaring out of speakers and pots of beautiful flowers on a deck that had a couple different levels. I couldn't decide what to get --there were so many options. It was 10am so I got their smothered bacon-egg burrito and a large lemonade. I didn't like it for the first couple of bites--it seemed the ratio between a lack of saltiness to the burrito and a too spicy green chili was a bad combo. The more I ate it though, the better I liked it. It blended into delicioso! Food was very fresh---the temperature was hot. Outside is nice on the wooden deck--above the street with the radio blaring strategically to drowned out the crazy traffic on Colfax. a dozen steps away. All the flowers were great. Will definitely come back again--to catch their $2 breakfast burritos and see what their guac is like. read more

We were very hesitant about this place (i don't like mexican food at all and this place is a hole in the wall). So we ordered 2 shredded beef burritos, gluten free steak burrito, and chicken wings and fries (guess who ate those). The young woman who helped us was SO nice and answered all my questions and made us feel very welcome. The food came out steaming hot and delicious! I got the wings without sauce and they were still crispy and came with yummy fries and ranch! The 2 burritos were delicious and full of meat. My boyfriend got the gf one (only 35 cents extra) and he said it was great. I would highly recommend this place and we were all very surprised at the quality and customer service! I saw a for sale sign and so i hope that wasnt for this place!! read more

The food is OK, but not amazing. I ordered two burritos yesterday, one smothered one not. I ended up being charged $15 just for these two burritos, which I thought was pricey at the time, but I paid anyway. I didn't know until I went to eat the second burrito today, that I was also charged for a double mexi burger and and extra egg and potato burrito.... No wonder it was expensive. Either this was a misunderstanding or the girl taking my order wanted to get more money out of me... Either way not cool, I doubt I will be back. read more

Tried the breakfast burritos for the first time today. Above average size, good price but...weird sauce inside. It wasn't chili...more like a brown and green kind of funky gravy. read more

Best breakfast burrito I have ever had - not so much Though I do have to say, this place has improved. The prices seemed a bit better. Although I get a pretty basic burrito. Yes their cheese is velveta-ish and the green chili is not going to have you breathing fire but I do give this place props for being a solid option when it comes to a quick breakfast burrito craving. Their burritos are big. This place is not Santiagos or Little Anitas but it is much better than many of the other neighborhood spots that sling breakfast burritos read more
