    Service was amazing and made sure everything was good. Regular restaurant price about $18 for a plate The food was pretty good and filling. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was warm in there on a cold day.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There was lots of decorations and it was fun.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would go again!

    My son loving his plate!!

    The food is always great! There has never been one dish that has disappointed me! My son loves coming here for the smiley face pancake breakfast. The service has always been great every visit. The staff in the whole facility make you feel like home, and always have a positive additude. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The environment is always cozy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I live how they always have the dining area decorated for every holiday!

    This rating was based on the Javiers burrito alone but sevice, smiles and promptnesxs boxes were all checked off! They did my sausage breakfast burrito "Christmas style" smothered red and green chile, so life was pretty complete after this morning. I also hope they enjoy a long life for representing Hispanic cultures through food and not let Tennyson Street glide into a cultureless vacuum independent of any connections to the people from Mexico and Spain that have been in Colorado a very long time. A burrito should be the state official cuisine.

    We are 4 months new to Denver, we've explored a few restaurants in our area off of Tennyson in Berkley. We decided upon this place for breakfast and what a good choice that was! Upon approach, I was a bit hesitant as the menu pics in the window were a bit faded However......, the food was incredible! Everything was very tasty and flavorful, the chips and salsa was fantastic and our service was sooooo genuine, attentive and kind! The interior is authentic/ typical of what I would expect in Az- nothing fancy however, we are already planning a dinner here with incoming family next week. If you want great tasting food, not expensive, kind people.... Make the choice to come here.

    Molcajete- comes with shrimp, chicken, steak, chorizo, jalapeño, cactus, cheese, green onion, and radish all in a tangy green salsa

    "What are we celebrating?" and "can I take your picture?" was just the beginning of a great dining experience here at Javier's. It was a beautiful Saturday morning so we opted for sitting outside where there was significant seating options. They have a video running showcasing their food, which influenced us to get the molcajete and I tell you, it did not disappoint. Filled to the brim with different meat options, cactus, jalapeño and green onion (I wish there could have been more of the cheese) and a tangy sauce made it so delectable. And my personal fave, it came with rice, beans, cheddar cheese, guac and sour cream. The service was so friendly and they really cared about your experience and that everything was up to par, including if the salsa was too spicy (grandmas sauce that is). The only thing to note is that their parking lot is a little tight for how busy it appears they get and the amount of seating inside so be patient or plan to walk from a side street.

    Really good Mexican breakfast. Their salsa is spicy but very flavorful. I liked their rice and beans a lot too. Our server was nice and efficient.

    Nachos

    The description for the nachos stated that guacamole, sour cream and jalapeno peppers were included. They were not.

    Chilaquiles on top and the country Chicken Fried Steak Plate on the bottom!

    We got takeout brunch from here a few weekends ago and it was DELICIOUS and the portions were HUGE! The service was also great as they labeled all of our food correctly (we have wheat allergies) and swiftly! This is a great place for a classic comforting brunch. We got the country fried steak (I'm from KY so I know good gravy) and the chilaquiles con huevos. Both were delicious!

    Breakfast Burrito

    If you're looking for a delicious Hispanic meal in Tenneyson area, I highly recommend checking out this spot! My experience here was fantastic from start to finish. The breakfast enchiladas were the highlight of my meal - smothered in green chile and eggs, they were bursting with flavor and absolutely delicious. My boyfriend's breakfast burrito was equally impressive - it was huge and filled to the brim. One of the best things about this restaurant is their large patio, which is perfect in the summer. It's a great spot to enjoy a meal and soak up some sunshine while you're at it. We were there when someone was celebrating their birthday, and the staff got everyone singing along - it was such a fun and memorable diner. I was also pleasantly surprised that we didn't have to wait long for a table, even though it was 11:00 am on a Sunday - a rarity in the brunch scene! Cant wait to go back.

    OUR NEW FAVORITE SPOT! We've been trying to come here for months now and it's always booked. Ended…read moreup going on a Monday afternoon and were able to seat outside as it is first comes first in their patio area- the patio area is awesome and a good spot to people watch- you still get the same menu as inside. That being said, the food seems very basic on the menu but it is SO INCREDIBLE! Cannot recommend the sweet potato enough and ceviche (ask for chips). If this place wasn't always booked I would be going every week. We were there for a birthday celebration and they brought our mezcal shoes for us. We felt taken care of and loved every minute of it. They also have a happy hour to look out for!

    This was a delicious spot for Mexican food! I heard about Alma Fonda Fina months in advance of our…read moreDenver trip, which was thankfully enough time to snag a reservation. This place fills up 60 days in advance, without fail! When we arrived, we were able to get parking about a block away on the street. We were soon greeted and guided to our seats upon walking in. This is a very small restaurant - only a few tables, not many options for big groups, and some bar seating both inside and outside. I can see why the reservations are in such high demand! We were recommended to get 4-5 small plates, so we decided on the Guacamole Alma, Burrito de Frijoles Puerco, Apache en su Jugo, and Enmolada de Pato. We also shared the hibiscus margarita and Mex 75. The drinks came out first - the hibiscus margarita was so refreshing, light and delicious! We weren't as big fans of the Mex 75 - but if you like smoky drinks this is the one for you. The guacamole came out first - it was tangy and tasty. I will say that the other dishes were a lot more unique. The burrito was a standout - we absolutely loved the homemade sourdough tortilla, one of the best we've ever tasted. The chorizo filling was savory and tasty. The Apache en su Jugo was unique and had a lovely flavor - if you are a beef tartare fan this is a wonderful dish to try! The enmolado de pato came out last and we thoroughly enjoyed the mole and flavor. This is definitely worth checking out. I will say as a Houston native we have several restaurants with similar flavors and slightly lower price tags and wait times, so I am a bit spoiled in that regard. But all in all the service is wonderful, it's a pleasure to try so many different and unique dishes, and the joy of snagging a reservation is worth it!

We went on…read moretaco Tuesday and had no problem getting bar seating (or there were a few tables available) around 5pm but I noticed after 6pm people were waiting for seating. The food was delicious! We got $2 chips and salsa off the happy hour menu and the queso con soyrizo (not on HH menu) which was served with warm tortillas. Honestly we probably didn't need all that because the tacos were so good I could've just filled up on more of the tacos, but still was a great meal! I ordered the lengua, pastor, and taco special (breaded shrimp). They were all so good. Think taco quality of a good street taco spot but with the ambiance of a cute tex mex bar. The bartender was great and made a solid marg ($8 on happy hour). You get a great deal on taco Tuesday but I'm sure you'd get great service and quality any day of the week!

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.

A great way to leave your comfort zone and try whatever they are featuring for a reduced price. Their variety of curated mezcal is a great way to start and make progress on your mezcal journey. There is such a variety of mezcal that I believe there is something for almost everyone. Put your trust in their bartenders to guide you on the different styles and flavors. And finally, they are a huge part of the Colorado agave collective. Monthly agave tasting. The best way to learn and appreciate.
