    GORDITA MAIZ
    Ailish A.

    Amazing service, the host and server assured we had everything we needed and made sure the table was clean. I really enjoyed the ambiance of this restaurant too. Like a semi modern take on a rustic Mexican bar. Good amount of seating and nice lighting. The food was all 10/10. Really fresh and hot from the kitchen. Great flavor on all the meats for the Gorditas. I had asada barbacoa and rajas

    MOLCAJETE MIXTO
    Lindsey T.

    Received five star service from Michelle. We ordered the Molcajete Mixto and the El Jefe. Thank goodness the music was way too loud so she didn't hear the El Jefe part because it would have been ridiculous for the two of us. The Molcajete Mixto more than enough food for myself and my daughter. In case you didn't know (as now I know), this is a shareable dish. With all of the protein, it could be shared among even more people if a big salad was involved but I don't know if that is on the menu. This begs the question, how would this item maintain itself for carry out or delivery? This is a visually beautiful dish, I just wonder how it holds up after a car ride in a styrofoam container. We will definitely return to try other items. Not margaritas though because they are $15 and seem to be a premade mix. Safety disclosures: This dish is not for people with low tolerance for spicy food. Neither is the salsa. The music will blow up your hearing aid if you wear one. If exposed to those decibels over extended periods, eventually you will need a hearing aid. Five stars for the service and food!!

    The bar

    I stopped by this DGO restaurant yesterday to grab lunch since I was staying at the hotel across the street. When I walked inside, they were not busy so they let me choose where I wanted to sit. I sat at a table right behind the bar so I could watch the television there. I went with the carne asada entree plate and was able to sub out the beans with fries. My food came out quick and it was delicious. The portion of the carne asada wasn't that much but the other sides helped fill me up. I asked for flour tortillas but got corn instead, I didn't mind but I think the waitress had trouble understanding. When I asked her if I could sub out the beans, she kept telling me it was fried until I told her no beans then she asked if I wanted something else instead. The inside of this restaurant is very nice at the bar or just regular dining. I would recommend this place.

    1-pint drink special

    What a sweet location. Good view of the Boulevard and the stadium lol. This location touts their gorditas. I ordered both the chicken gordita and the flauta's. The flautas were just okay. The salsa's were delicious however. The Gordita was good (chicken) just wished it had pico de gallo or other toppings inside. The beens and rice were fine as well. We ordered the "pint" drunk special but honestly it was mostly ice and fruit juice. Just order the regular drinks. The service was good (tag team of two) but we waited a while for the check. It is a good spot if in the area. I would like to see if anything else is as authentic as the Gordita's.

    If you're searching for the perfect date night spot with your loved one, look no further. My husband and I stopped in on Tuesday during happy hour, and we were greeted by the wonderful waitress Sofia, whose warm hospitality and friendly demeanor truly enhanced our experience. The lively atmosphere set the mood just right. We savored delicious gorditas de harina and refreshing margaritas, and we wrapped up the evening with a mango candy shot without a doubt, the best shot we've ever had! It was smooth, flavorful, and the ideal way to end a memorable night.

    Great breakfast burritos and weekly deals. The space itself is super cute and lively.

    DGO Cocina cantina was a good place to come to if in the mood for some Mexican. Tostada and their combo plates is the way to go. They are fairly new however our server Jackie did a great job in recommending great items off their menu. Their chips and dip was probably the only thing that we got that maybe needed some help other than that everything was good. Atmosphere here was very decked out in the culture. All in all great place with good tasting food. If ever in town feel free to stop on by I'm sure you won't leave disappointed.

    part of the inside
    Bre B.

    living in the area, we've always driven past but had never gone in. craving some tacos on a weekday night, we wanted somewhere walkable to take advantage of a marg (or 2). inside is so cute! clean, spacious with a good amount of homey decor. we were seated near some speakers which not going to lie, was loud AF but it was a vibe - next time we'll have to ask to sit a little farther. they give you chips and salsa, she convinced us to upgrade our margs to the 18oz which goddamn you get one of those and we were FEELIN them. I got 3 tacos and a side of rice and beans, fiancé got the birrira tacos. no complaints, portions were good and the salsas have a fantastic spice. servers were nice as a steady flow of customers came in. highly recommend! I'd imagine if there's anything at empower this place is poppin' but don't sleep on this lil corner restaurant! we can't wait to be back!

    FAJITAS MIXTAS
    Travis T.

    I lied to my Mexican wife and said the salsa here wasn't as good as her mom's. I'd be in trouble if I said it was better so you'll have to be the judge. Fajitas were super tasty and cooked to perfection - asada tender, chicken seasoned well and shrimp just right. The chips are great too. Fast and courteous service and good vibes with tunes flowing but not so loud you have to yell to talk. Everyone is nice too. Definitely will eat here again.

    Street tacos

    Tonight my family and I enjoyed dinner and drinks out at DGO. The service was warm, friendly, and knowledgeable. Our waitress went above and beyond to make our experience welcoming & she gave excellent food recommendations. The chips and salsa that come when you sit down are delicious. My favorite of the tacos was the pastor on flour tortilla with cheese. The music and decor was so pleasant, and it's a kid-friendly place. I think it'd be a nice restaurant to host a group as well. Highly recommend and hope this neighborhood spot thrives!

    Tamarindo margarita and barbacoa quesadilla.

    We live close by and today was our first time being in since they opened a few months ago. Food, drinks, and service were great! We sat at the bar, Daniela was bartending. I had the barbacoa quesadilla, and my bf had 3 tacos and a side of beans. The food and drinks were very fresh and so delicious. I think we have found our new spot!

    After living in the greater Denver area for nearly 30 years, it was kind of a shocking experience…read moreto discover a restaurant that appears to have existed for quite some time. Until today, I had never seen or heard of Savina's before. I accidentally found Savina when I was looking for an alternative restaurant downtown after I couldn't dine at an Italian restaurant only several blocks away (they had unexpected staffing shortage so they had to close it between lunch and dinner.) When I did a search online, Savina's was only a short drive from it. I simply wanted "food" so switching the cuisine from Italian to Mexican was no problem. I needed to do work on my phone so upon arrival, I asked for a table/seat that has outlet access. The kind receptionist then recommended I grab a seat at the bar. And wow! As I proceeded to it, nicely dimmed lights with great ambiance that spreads out all the way to the four corners of the restaurant welcomed me. That was when it dawned on me that Savina's was a high-end Mexican place. Mostly booth tables with some standalone tables in the middle. Wooden beams on the ceiling and bricks as walls, the interior is mostly brown. The very bar I chose to sit at is quite spacious. What caught my attention was the copper countertops at the bar. The rustic charms that were being emitted from it were elegant indeed. As the receptionist kindly instructed me to sit right in the middle of the bar for an easy outlet access, that's exactly what I did. The person in charge at the bar was Craig. He was most professional. His attentiveness was simply timely between the moments of quick conversation he and I had at the beginning. Their menu (for the kind of restaurant Savina is) is a bit small (at least that is what I thought) and yet I don't like massive ones that have food items after another because it causes me to be indecisive so for that reason, Savina's menu size was comforting. For a restaurant with this kind of high-end feel, the prices of the dishes were quite affordable. After a thorough perusal of it, I set my eyes on the Mexican Street Taco (chicken) that comes with three tacos, rice and refried beans. And as of this writing on 9/27/2026, the price of this dish is/was $24. Craig saw me put down the menu. He wasted no time to take my order and it thus was placed with the kitchen immediately. I had about 10 minutes to enjoy the complimentary chips and salsa and my freshly made decaf. To be frank, I wasn't expecting a decaf to be this good at a Mexican restaurant. I mean it was really good. It truly hit the spot. And somehow it paired so well with the complimentary chips and salsa. The salsa was also well made. My plate came out just in time. And it was quite the size. But what impressed me the most was, of course, the quality of it. The rice was well seasoned with the perfect texture/moisture. The refried beans were creamy but not to the point where it was soupy, had lots of flavors with the perfect amount of salt, and were properly mashed. And the protagonist of the plate, chicken tacos were of a good size. Each taco had a good number of diced chicken in them. And the avocado pieces in the tacos were very visible. And they were perfectly ripe with no brownness. The sauce that accompanied the tacos was also notable; a good amount of kick is what I tasted and yet it was a controlled heat. It sure was a nice enhancer. I was able to eat only half of what the plate had so I asked for a container from Craig which he promptly provided. Like I have already mentioned, Craig's attentiveness was spot on. I have to thank that Italian restaurant that was closed (LOL!) Had it not been the case, I don't think I would have discovered Savina's today. From the beautiful ambience to great service to good food, my late lunch at this Mexican restaurant was more than what I could have asked for. I will have to make a point to go back and dine there soon.

    Savina's was highly recommended to us by the valet at the hotel we were staying at. It was a close…read morewalk. The restaurant was not very full when we got there but it was early and it was filling up when we were leaving. The homemade tortilla chips were awesome. They had just the right amount of salt. I ordered a chicken quesadilla and my husband ordered the pork burritos. Mine could have had a bit more chicken but it was still delicious. My husband said his was good although they put too many onions on top (if I had to guess it was 1/3 of an onion chopped-a little rediculous). He also had a Catalan margarita that was tasty. Our waiter was friendly and efficient. He talked to us about how he came to Denver from the east coast and liked it here. Overall, we would definitely recommend Savina's and if we are back in the area we would eat here again.

    You have to plan ahead to eat here. You need a reservation and they get booked up the day the…read morereservation opens. It's worth the effort though because this is one of the best meals I've had in Denver. My husband and I shared: - Avocado Margarita - Pineapple Sour - Camote Asado - Enmolada De Pato - Quesadilla Frita - Pancita Pibil - Ceviche De Atun - Callo De Hacha Al Horno Everything was delicious. My favorite dishes were the ceviche, sweet potato (camote asado), and scallops (callo de hacha al horno). I find it strange that people complain that it's expensive because it's probably less than half the price of the other Michelin star restaurants in the city. I appreciated being able to try that level of food without the price point that you typically pay for a tasting menu at many Michelin star restaurants. I was surprised that their vegetarian selection was pretty small. I'm not a vegetarian, but our vegetarian friend wasn't interested in joining because there weren't many options. We'll definitely be trying their other restaurants!

    We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner experience here. I made the reservation online 60 days out as…read morerecommended. We were in at 4:45 as that was the only space available on the day we could go, and it worked out great. We got one plate from the happy hour menu and the fun avocado margarita and the old fashioned were fine cocktails. The margarita was a popular item, quite a few tables had them. I'll have to try and make one when we get home to Kona! Our server was Fiona; she was a whirlwind helping a number of tables, but we thought she was excellent and it was fun watching the staff behind the counter creating magical plates. Smiles on all of them as they worked like a team that knew and liked each other. And the plates they made were indeed delicious. I won't drill down on what we had, everyone will choose their own favorites by the end of their meal. One of our criteria when travelling is to find unique dining experiences, and this hit the mark in every way. We left after five plates and cocktails with smiles and satisfaction. While I've seen some reviews point out it was expensive, I don't feel it was overpriced for what they offer. I'd recommend this to anyone and it was an easy uber from our hotel. Mahalo.

I grabbed a seat at the bar where the bartender was friendly and engaging. On a recent Wednesday at 7:15, the restaurant was packed. When I left around 8:30, it was still busy. That's usually the best review a restaurant can get. Loyal customers don't keep coming back out of habit. They come back because it feels like home. The all-day happy hour margarita for $9 certainly doesn't hurt. The second one arrives before you've had time to argue yourself out of it. I ordered the enchiladas with carne asada and their house mole. If you're expecting one of those intensely complex moles with enough ingredients to fill a pantry, this isn't that. Adelitas' version is comforting, approachable, and deeply homey. It tastes less like a culinary experiment and more like something your abuela has been making for decades. The carne asada was tender, the rice and beans were exactly what they should be, and every bite reminded me why comfort food never goes out of style. Before leaving, I made the smartest decision of the evening. Tres leches to go. I devoured it later at home while Netflix asked if I was still watching. The cake somehow manages to be light while completely satisfying. Don't skip it. Better yet, don't pretend you're saving it for tomorrow. Adelitas isn't trying to impress you. It's trying to feed you well, welcome you warmly, and send you home happier than when you arrived. Whether your abuela was Mexican...or Greek...you'll understand exactly what they're serving here.
