Second time here was a charm! Got me a delicious regular super Buche burrito. Comes with cheese, avocado, lettuce, tomatoes and your choice of meat. My wife order a Buche taco and desebrada tostada. She enjoyed her lunch as well as I did. The complimentary red salsa that comes with chips is spicy and delicious. Save some for your entree... mmmm read more

This family-owned and authentic Mexican restaurant is a definite favorite for our staff here at the Giving Tree. The food is hot, fresh and delicious--and a great value! The service is impeccable, and we're always greeted with a smile and kind words. We love coming here for our lunch breaks--especially for the awesome quesadillas (which have POTATOES in them!!). Shout out to Betz and his family--we're proud to have him on staff here and glad to support his family's business. Peace and Love, The Giving Tree of Denver read more

I stumbled upon Juarez's while browsing mexican restaurants to have food picked up via grubhub and boy am I glad I chose Jaurez's!! First off, the prices and portions were excellent, can't beat a good deal and huge portions! I ordered the beef fajitas and they were great! They included a green salsa and a cream sauce on the side that was a nice bonus as they were both very good on the fajitas!! I also ordered some chips and red salsa to go. I've lived in Denver almost 4 years and had yet to find salsa at a restaurant I wanted to return for... But I found THE salsa here! It had fresh chunks of onion, tomato and cilantro and the perfect amount of spice! Staff was very friendly and welcoming so kudos to training them right!! All in all, I found my new go-to mexican spot and will be returning very soon! read more

Ok, I get it...restaurants, more specifically the cuisine they specialize in, are open to each individual's personal taste. What one person likes about, in this case, Mexican cuisine could very well be the opposite of what someone else likes. So, here is the opinion of both me and my wife: This little restaurant took us straight across the border into the heart of Mexico. It's quaint; it's small and it's off of our beaten path. But more importantly, it was surprisingly awesome!! The deep fried tacos were the exception to other Mexican restaurants in the Denver metro area. And don't be shy, ask for the extra spicy salsa! It packs some heat, but it's also addictive. We strongly recommend you give it a try! If you like it, post it! If you don't like it, post it as well with your reasons, but don't be rude. Remember, this is someone's livelihood and most definitely their dream. read more

This is a good neighborhood Mexican restaurant. Don't be put off by the worn exterior as the food is tasty and the service is pleasant and efficient. I had a Torta (Jamon y Queso) which was very good. Lettuce, tomato, avocado and little to no mayonnaise. A good deal at $4.50. The torta is recommended. Our server was friendly and patient with us newbies as we perused the menu. The atmosphere is a tad too cafeteria-like. Sterile. Certainly won't make you linger. - No Wi-Fi + Parking lot in the rear. Just go down the alley. + No hassles with the Yelp coupon. + The menu is funny. It is loaded with full-page ads including one en Español encouraging you to participate in the 2010 US Census - Website is very weak - No beer (but they do have a Corona bottle piñata) + Background music was Mexican and easy to listen to read more

I grew up in Austin, Texas, where tex-mex is king. I have had a LOT of really good tex-mex in my life, so I am not new to this type of cuisine, by any means. Using a yelp $5 deal to get $10, me and my dinner companion ventured to Juarez, which is living in obscurity. We were the only diners this Friday evening (6pm, they close at 7). Service was very friendly and attentive. The menu is reasonably priced. What came next was the real treat. The food is AMAZINGLY good. The salsa is spicy, as I like it. The chips were hot from the fryer. After we finished every scrap of the chips and salsa, the entrees were brought out. The fajitas looked "poster perfect", and apparently tasted just as good! I'm vegetarian, so I opted for the Chili Relleno. The owner/chef confirmed that their beans and rice are both vegetarian, so I was able to enjoy this dish fully with no substitutions or distractions. Asked if I wanted corn or flour tortillas, I chose one of each for the variety. I was very pleasantly surprised with the high quality of both. Just about fully stuffed and enjoying every bite, I was sad when the plate was empty. I may have to go back in a day or two just to get another "fix" of this amazing cuisine. I'm not a flan fan, but thought I would give it a try, since they did everything else so well. I'm still not moved by this traditional dessert, but it was definitely better than other flan I have had recently. As we were settling our bill and having a bit of a chat with the owner, we were told that the restaurant has been in operation at this location for 10 years. It's struggling to keep people coming in, as very few people know it's there. It's decor is in need of some TLC, and the hours are short - but i can't blame the owner for feeling down about the situation. I'm motivated to do my part and become a regular. heck, it's only 10 blocks from my house, so I have no excuse not to return. I love supporting local owner restaurants (especially single locations where the owner is on staff), that are not part of a corporate chain. I can completely forgive the (very) modest furnishings and harsh fluorescent lighting when every bite on the plate is this delicious. Now I just have to spread the word a bit with my friends, so we can do our part to keep it going! It would be terrible if this restaurant closed, due to lack of patronage, because I would miss it. I would miss it terribly! Note on parking: There are about 3 or 4 spots in front along 38th street where parking is freely available. If those spots are taken, try around the corner on the grid of streets, and just walk a block or two. I'd not recommend using the O'Reileys auto parts parking lot, even though it is directly across the street. read more

Juarez Mexican Restaurant - Beef Fajitas and Chili Relleno, from 11/11/11 :) - Mexican Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Wow, what a great little hole in the wall!!! I thoroughly enjoyed the two different salsas over my Al Pastor Burrito this late morning before my day really got along...Meat was tender and seasoned to perfection, beutifully rolled with delicious homemade refried beans in a freshly grilled tortilla. Amazing prices and service capped off a nice were a definite plus. If you want ambiance, avoid this place like the plague!! If you want killer homemade mexican served with a friendly smile, you must visit!!! read more

We had dinner here and it was quite the treat. We ordered tacos and posole. They serve complimentery fresh chips and salsas, yes 3 different kinds! The tacos were okay, we ordered the asada and tripe. The tripe was delicious and the asada could have been better. But the posole was delicious with the side of buttered bread, yum! read more

You could easily miss this place if you blink! A tiny nondescript restaurant right off of Federal Blvd. this place is amazing! The decor is nothing to write home about but that is part of its charm. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. We didn't do a lot of talking as she was mostly Spanish speaking but luckily a regular translated our appreciate for the fantastic food! Not only was she our waitress but the chef as well. JJ got the Beef Fajitas and I got a combination plate with: Chicken Taco, Tostada, Enchilada, Pork Tamale, Chile Relleno and beans and rice. We ended up splitting all of the food because it was that good. The flavors popped in all the right ways. A definite must, especially if you miss authentic Mexican food that doesn't require green chile smothering it to be good. The Verde sauce they served beforehand with chips was the best I have ever had!! A lot of the time restaurants will have very bland Verde sauce. Not true here! The sauce was bursting with flavor and just the right amount of heat. When you do come here, and you must come here, make sure to save a little room for Sopapillas or Churros. Delicious! Can you tell I am an instant fan of this place? read more

Honestly...I don't understand the positive reviews and very high average star rating. This place was absolutely awful. Our food (2 entrees and 2 side orders) was terrible. It's also not that cheap - we only tried it because we had a Yelp Offer ($5 for $10 - thanks Yelp). Our food with two sodas would have been $28 before tip if we didn't have the Yelp Offer. The specifics: Bad tasting food. No liquor licence, staff who clearly didn't understand what the Yelp Offer meant and a very nice waitress who was smiley, but clearly didn't know the menu (to be fair to her she mentioned it was her second day, but paying customers shouldn't really be used for training right?). For silverware I had one fork, my wife had one knife. Puzzling. My chicken fajitas were fatty and super greasy. My wife (a Mexican food lover) couldn't finish her Chile Relleno or Burrito as it tasted bad. The passable item was the singe beef taco (which I asked for shredded but it came in slices - but that's OK given the other issues we encountered). One star for the salsa. I suspected the worst when we arrived at LUNCH TIME and it was practically empty - 5 people in total). I really do wonder how this place is still in business. Maybe the owner makes money from other businesses apart from this one? Yelp Offer buyers beware. This was my first Yelp Offer purchase and I'll definitely think twice before buying another. Summary: - badly trained staff - awful food - poor decor / depressing vibe. - no beer / margs - no credit cards - debit only or cash read more

I have a weird theory on Mexican food ... the cheaper it is the better it usually is. This place proves my theory true. It's an inexpressive hole in the wall that serves great Mexican food. It's got a madre and papa type of feel to it and the staff is very friendly and helpful. The food was very tasty and came out quick. Win/win if you ask me. read more

First, we arrived at 8:15 pm for a quick bite not realizing that they close at 8. Bummer right? Not quite. Instead of turning us away, they were totally friendly and let us order food to go. First star. Second, they were friendly and helpful about everything even as we asked numerous questions about their dishes. Second star. Third, the food prices were incredibly reasonable--many combo plates were $8.00 or less. Third star. Finally, their food was frickin delicious--smothered burrito had a delicious chile sauce and their enchiladas were bomb. Fourth star. Finally, their salsa was delicious and spicy. Just what I like. Fifth star. Overall, I heartily recommend this restaurant. Don't let the somewhat hole in the wall appearance fool you. Friendly service, delicious food at good prices? Count me a fan. 5 stars. read more

Holy Guacamole! This hole in the wall is awesome! I recently attended a school carnival and tried, for the first time, a Mexican snack called chilindrinas. It is a large flour chicharrone topped with cabbage, avocado, some cream, hot sauce, fresh tomatoes, and ... what I can best describe as pickled pig skin. Like most of my very favorite foods, it repulsed and compelled me at the same time. Soon, I got to craving some more chilindrinas. So, naturally, I googled them. I found that this tiny restaurant had them, it is close to me, so I went. Turns out, chilindrinas is an appetizer, so I ordered that, of course. Also I am a fiend for rellenos so I ordered the relleno plate as well, to go. The chillindrinas really were good, though a bit much on the picked pig skin, but I'm new to this food and can only take it small doses (what a wuss!!). That came with FOUR hot sauces, three of which were clearly homemade and really really good and hot and fresh and good, super good (did I say good?). The rellenos. Pablano rellenos. Homemade ecstasy. Just amazing. Not a deep fried extravaganza (not that I disdain those crispy rellenos) and 100 times better than the lumps of foul "relleno" served up at Jack'N'Grill. Just, lots of pepper, white cheese, and delicious sauce. I crave them every minute. The man working spoke English and was incredibly helpful and friendly. I will so be back. I actually am having to restrain myself from not going back right away. Great prices, great service, GREAT food. Street parking (worth it!), blah location (worth it!). read more

This small place really is a hole in the wall, and I mean that in the best of ways. You walk in not knowing what to expect and then... they surprise you! The fajitas were awesome, the staff friendly, and the experience amazing. I will be returning again soon!!! read more

I can't understand why so many people I denver give such high ratings to Mexican restaurants that have bland food. There are so many to choose from, yet people get sucked into thinking that a place with no flavor is good at all. The service was alright, but the place didn't seem very clean, there was sauce burned on the edge of the plate, and the server dropped a taco off my plate as she clumsily set it on the table For the food itself, I couldn't differentiate what was was eating with looking at it. The tamale, chile rellleno, and other items all tastes exactly the same. The presentation looked hurried and careless. read more

Amazing. Just amazing. Delicious, huge portions for half the price of what you'd pay elsewhere. Find them near 38th and Federal. I recommend the #38 or #39. These two menu selections come with 5 good sized entree items with rice, beans, lettuce, tomato. The red sauce is delicious. The family who runs the place is very kind and friendly. Good service, good prices, and good food! This is my second review because it's that good. Eating here now and will be back a bunch of times! Also to the person who rated them 3 stars in the review before mine: Your complaint is the appeal of the dining area and the interior and exterior of the building? You came to a small independent Mexican place expecting Atkins diet food? You're kidding right? This is one of the last affordable, genuine family run gems in Denver. Sounds like you're looking for some pretentious place downtown to pay double for the same plate you get here. read more

Toddler taco tour 2019 stop number one. my two-and-a-half-year-old and I have decided that we are going to try as many different tacos in Northwest Denver as we possibly can, this was one of our first forays. it's always questionable to bring a toddler into a restaurant, the waitress here was incredibly accommodating and friendly and polite. We got a kids plate of beans and rice, toddler loved it, of course a mess was made and the staff just enjoyed watching the spectacle. We also had a chicken taco a carnitas taco and a carne asada taco, the carnitas was definitely the best of the three. They also have a good selection of salsa for your chips and your tacos.the prices were good, the restaurant was clean, and the staff was friendly, we will definitely be back! read more

Went here with a friend of mine that was in town because my favorite place was closed and this place had been recommended to me and there was a yelp deal. We ordered combination plates, mine with a taco, enchilada, and chili relleno. They were very accommodating and let me get my taco pastor crispy. The taco was good, but everything else was pretty bad. Very bland and tasted pretty watery - not at all what we were looking for. I can honestly say it's some of the worst I've had in Denver and I hate to say that because they seemed like really nice people. read more

AUTENTICO! Very generous portions. Very delicious. The staff even was amiable enough to help me practice my Spanish. 100000% Recommended! read more

Authentic Mexican food for a GREAT value! The family-owned establishment makes you feel right at home. They look you in your eyes while you order and are very respectful. The food comes out fast, hot, and its delicious! I highly recommend this place if you're in the area. read more

Juarez Mexican Restaurant - Beef tacos dorado - Mexican Near Me - Denver, Colorado

See all

I expected to be wowed, based on Yelper reviews. With all of the really good Mexican restaurants near by, there is so much competition. Instead of ordering my standard bean and carnitas burrito smother in green (this is how I compare Mexican restaurants), I decided to try the chicken taquitos with a small side of green chili. The taquitos were fine and tasted fresh and well seasoned. The green chili, although very spicy (+) was very bland and had the consistency which suggested too much corn starch. If you can't nail the green chili, you can't get four stars in my book. Service is friendly, atmosphere is nothing to get excited about. Don't go on a cold day, as there is no air lock and every time someone came in, a blast of cold air filled the small room. I'm willing to give Juarez another try as the tacos seem to be highly recommended. read more

How do you possibly get one star? Close before Yelp hours (and hours posted on your store) say you should close!!!! We were there at 5:30 on a Sunday...PLENTY of time to snag a burrito and run. But no.... read more

I went in for a to go order, it took about 20 minutes til I left with my food. They were out of fresh agua Frescas (pepino and horchata) i managed to get one horchata from what they had left. Not strong enough, needed more cinnamon. I ordered enchiladas, tacos dorados de pollo and a cheese quesadilla. Also a pound of barbacoa to go for later (love barbocoa so I had to get some to try). The staff was friendly , the place seemed pretty clean. Maybe a total of 10 tables, so it's not too big in there. I am a bean snob you could say, if they come from a can my palette knows! These beans were delicious- oh my.. My tacos were flavorful, but fell apart because too soggy in the middle - not deep fried long enough? There gone so they weren't too bad lol. My husband had the enchilada- gone too lol so not bad. And well basically a quesadilla is fool proof. I haven't tried the barbacoa just yet, but from the rest I think it will be good. I can't give them 5 stars because the drinks were not avail, what I did get was just slightly Flavored water it seemed like and the wait time seemed long to me. Maybe next time I can give 5 read more

Jauritos is the best spot! You support a mom and pop restaurant and get to eat delicious food. The barbacoa es banging!!!

Oh so yummy! My boyfriend and I enjoyed Sunday lunch here and were very impressed. Despite the seemingly sketchy location and hole in the wall status, our waiter was very friendly and attentive and the restaurant definitely leant a laid back atmosphere. I was very happy to see that they have a vegetarian combo plate, as I am a vegetarian. It was wonderful! HUGE portions, so be prepared to take some home. The best cheese enchilada I've ever eaten, a chile relleno stuffed with cheese and spinach, a bean burrito and a flauta filled with potatoes- all this covered in sour cream drizzle, with co stars rice and beans. First time customers leave with a card stamped twice, and once you earn 5 stamps, your next meal is free! Needless to say, we'll be back for more stamps! read more

Excellent... I got the #38, I think... it was the one with a tostada, enchilada, taco, chile relleno, and tamale - all for ONLY $9.99! They were ALL excellent and I couldn't finish it. Very authentic, which is why I LOVE hole in the walls... my waitress was SO polite and accommodating and the prices are great for excellent food! I was very happy that the Yelp reviews were correct! TRY IT!!! read more

I had lunch here today. The location on 38th Avenue is best described as hole in the wall. Service is friendly but it would have been helpful if my Spanish was better. The food was just ok. The torta was served on bread reminiscent of a hamburger bun. I might stop by if I am in the neighborhood, but I won't be going out of my way to dine here again. read more

Here it is; I believe the 4.5 star rating says it all for the taste and authenticity of this Mexican Restaurant. The only thing I'm here to say is that this restaurant is not great for groups. We came in the afternoon when there was nobody else in the Restaurant and there were 16 of us split at two tables. This completely overwhelmed the servers and cooks. It took a while to get food and it came out intermittently, but once it was there it was very good. We all enjoyed our meals. Even our friend who ordered the Hawaiian Burger (not kidding - but it looked good and he said it tasted good). The Super Burrito is pretty good and a steal at $4 ($5 wet). If I went back that's what I'd order. I would recommend this place if you're nearby. read more

I came to Juarez expecting to get kidnapped, ransomed, returned as a mule, or filled to the brim w/delicious Authentic Mexicano food. Thankfully, only one of the above actually happened when I went to Juarez Mexican in highlands area. The atmosphere is nothing to look at and right off the road w/no real parking. Which is what I LOVE! I pay for food quality over ambience. It's fine, I came on a Sunday evening to use my Yelp Deal, we were the only ones there, like you would feel if you were in Juarez, Mexico, the only Americans there...Authenticity, I dig. It definitely felt authentic Mexican, you can hear the woman in the back cooking your food, the other woman took our order, she was super nice and pleasant. I think people like it when you attempt to speak their language or at least say gracias. The food came out quick and was on par w/other authentic Mexican joints. I ordered just a burrito and enchilada, enchilada was phenomenal. I'd go here again if I was on Federal and need somewhere I can trust and know what I'm going to get. Prices are cheap you'd think you're in Juarez, another authentic feature, you can get full on a $3.50 burrito. No joke... Go to this Juarez, you won't need to contact the local embassy before you go and you won't be on the news the next day :) buena suerte! read more

Authentic, no frills, good pricing, hole in the wall. The ladies are very nice & provide good service. I love how you can get 4 tacos of the same of different meat. I was able to sample all different kinds! read more

Some of the best Mexican food I've had in all of Denver! Great environment with plants and friendly people! I will be back!

Came in here for the first time today and we were not disappointed! Very kind, welcoming, and friendly server. The food was good and everything came out in a timely manner. This was extremely appreciated as we have two impatient toddlers. One of them eats everything that is put in front of them and the other is a bit more picky; both ate everything on their plate! Good service, good food. Will definitely be visiting again! read more

Such a pleasant surprise to find excellent food, amazing portions and such friendly staff! We judge Mexican restaurants initially by the chips and salsa. The chips were great and the salsas were amazing- the pico type salsa was really good, the second salsa was spectacular but not for the faint hearted. The enchiladas and tamales were some of the best I've had. Our server was fairly new but efficient and very pleasant. What a treat. read more

I read yelp reviews that said that this place was one to go to... I disagree. I went in at lunch time, I was the only customer sitting down, and the only customer that was there the whole time I was dinning. I ordered from what I gathered was the cook, she didn't understand what I was saying. I asked for a burrito smothered with a LOT of lettuce and tomatoes. The burrito was a chewy tortilla with minimal beans and an overload of cheese which wasn't even melted all the way. I think it was out in the microwave. There were was very little lettuce and one slice of tomato. It also came with sour cream and avocado on top witch I didn't ask for and really didn't want. The service was awful, after I got my food no one came over to me once, even though there was like five "employees" there and I believe one of them was the owner. I went up and payed and the burrito and a Mexican bottle of come came out to eight dollars. Rip off for what I got... Maybe I got the wrong thing, but the green chile was even bland, if your a Mexican restaurant that can't make good green chile, don't talk to me. Pork in the chile was cheap too. Only reason it got two stars was because I didn't get sick... So far read more
