    LOVED this place! I would have shared photos of the food but it was so delicious it was gone in an instant. The steak enchiladas with a tomatillo sauce and red sauce was so yummy. The fresh, homemade salsa was so addicting and flavorful. My favorite part was how great their menu was for a gluten free eater. So many items marked GF, Vegan, Vegetarian and they are welcoming and knowledgeable about GF which can be a rarity. The interior is amazing with so many Frida Kahlo works on display. The horchata is decadent and a must. OH! And, you can bring your own alcohol when you come in.

    Still an amazing choice for vegans! They just added vegan ceviche and soy meat options for other meals!! Highly recommend this place! Very friendly staff and always a chill vibe with great artwork. Online shows an entire vegan menu and their normal menu shows which dishes can be made vegan/vegetarian.

    Absolutely empty for lunch on a Thursday. Walked in to the fragrance of sewer and Pinesol. Okay, so not the best first impressions. We sat as far away from the restroom as possible. Our server was very patient and kind. My colleague was a vegan so we were pleased to see many options on the menu and actually I recommended the nopales tacos for my colleague. She had never had cactus before and she was pleasantly surprised how delicious they were. My carnitas tacos were bad either but the rice was flavorless and the beans too runny for my liking. All together it was okay.

    Great atmosphere

    What a great find! The guacamole is amazing and the salsa is nice and hot. The vegan tamales were the best I've had besides the Shed in Santa Fe. A must if you love Mexican food!

    I ordered for pick up and the girl who answers the phone does not have much manners. She does not say how long the food will take to be ready. And my food when I got it was is not how they normally serve it, mind you I've been there many times. There was no sauce on top of my flautas so it was kind of dry.

    Kahlo's is one of Denver's best kept secrets. It's never busy when we go and we've always had a wonderful experience. Food: I always like to try something different here and I've never been disappointed. I've had the Mole Enchiladas, Rojas Enchiladas, Birria (Mexican stew with 15 ingredients), Carne Asada, and just last night I had the Huaraches (masa). I get the horchata almost every time, and when I don't get the horchata, I get one of their fresh juices or smoothies. This place is also known for their vegan options! Every server we've ever had has been welcoming and such a pleasure. Last night they had live entertainment which was an added treat to our date night! The restaurant is colorful and vibrant, and photos/art of Frida Kahlo adorn the walls - hence the name. Parking: there's a small little lot that holds about 5 cars, but there's plenty of street parking either on Morrison road or one of the side streets. We've never had an issue finding a spot to park. One thing to note: they do not serve alcohol, so if you're looking for a marg, you won't find it here. This place also has a large high top table that can fit about 10 people, and like I mentioned before, it has never been busy when we went so there's plenty of options to accommodate larger groups.

    Amazing!! We were at an event an got hungry. I popped on Yelp and found this gem!! Super cute, chill and in the neighborhood I grew up in. I ordered Mole 7 Chiles with carnitas. The sauce was incredible and it came with sesame seeds which I've never heard of. The plate came with rice and it had a fried rice flavor to it which just complimented the entire mole plate. I also ordered a guayaba agua fresca and it was so refreshed. Our waiter was the only one working on this day and she held it down!! 10/10

We ordered the guacamole, burrita de frijoles puercos, scallops, hamachi tostada, tuna ceviche, chilaquiles de borrego, enmolada de pato, and pancita pibil, and genuinely everything was a 10/10. The scallops and ceviche completely stole the show. The scallops were perfectly cooked and melted in your mouth, and the serrano ponzu with the tomato butter added this incredible balance of brightness and richness. The ceviche was one of those dishes where every bite makes you stop for a second to reflect. They used super fresh tuna with the charred avocado and coconut broth giving it so much depth while still feeling really light and refreshing. The hamachi tostada was another standout with the habanero mayo and orange bringing the perfect amount of citrus and heat, and the pancita pibil was unbelievably flavorful. The black bean purée underneath honestly deserves its own mention because it tied the entire dish together being so smooth and rich against the acidity of the pickled onions. Service was also flawless from start to finish. Attentive without hovering, great pacing between dishes, and everyone made the experience feel warm and welcoming despite every table being filled. This place fully lives up to the hype and is absolutely worth planning ahead for.

Looking at taco places, I went with something close by to our location and found this hidden gem. Nestled away on a small street corner of Clay Street and 32nd Ave. parking can be scarce, but I'm sure with the right time and a little bit of walking you will find and manage your way here. Outside the restaurant, they have a small seating area which now is winter too cold to enjoy, but I'm sure in the spring and summer and fall time is super enjoyable. The inside, though a little bit tiny and no cozier than going to your mom's house and expecting a family Filled living room/Kitchen. We went down and greeted by three smiling faces. We already looked at the photos online and knew we want tacos so opted with the chicken tacos and Carne Asada taco plates. The tacos place option came with 5 tacos with up to 2 choices of meats the ratio would be 2:3 .. freshly mashed guacamole made in front of you or freshly sliced avocado.. In the pictures I listed you will find each chicken and Carne Asada options. Both slow pictures missing two tacos because we devoured them as soon as we got into the truck. Their street tacos are heavenly! Chicken option was all chicken breast super juicy grilled to perfection five tacos on a plate another two tacos missing because my husband and I devoured it. This plate came we asked it with the guacamole option instead of fresh avocado. The carne asada was just FULL of flavor and the fresh avocado slices with green tomatillo salsa SLAPPED.. the tortillas are super soft and tears from how fresh the flour tortillas were!! Definitely a place to sit and eat there to enjoy the hot food. I'm originally from SoCal and a heavily populated Latinos with amazing tacos and food.. Taqueria La Familia passed the bar high!! We can't wait to come back and try other options and will update pictures and review then!

We walked in to find it pretty well occupied around noon, but still with some empty tables. We were seated right away. The decor was lovely. It was primarily natural, earthy tones, with succulents, and a big pop of color with bright murals above the bar, creating a warm glow. I was vaguely familiar with Chef Richard Sandoval due to his brief appearance on Top Chef, but didn't know too much about his cuisine. The brunch has a really fun and original idea in that you can order bottomless small plates for $42 per person or bottomless food and drinks for $59 in person, with a two-hour limit. I would have loved to try that, but we had a lot of plans that day so opted for the à la carte menu. I chose a mimosa and my friend chose a michelada. for our drinks We shared the ceviche. I ordered the chicken tinga enchiladas, while my friend ordered the fish tacos. We shared all of the food. The ceviche was excellent, flavorful and fresh. I enjoyed the enchiladas. The portion was generous. I wasn't too fond of the tacos. There was nothing wrong with them, aside from the fact that I don't like breaded fish, but they just didn't have a ton of flavor. I will say service started strong, but then fell off a bit. Our server and food runner were friendly, but it was hard to get extra utensils when we needed them. All in all, it was a great brunch spot. If I were in town again, I would definitely be tempted to try the bottomless brunch.

I wish it was served on a hot plate or the eggs were cooked longer so they were warmer. Service was ok, we ate at the bar so I think the focus was more on having our drinks filled vs asking how the food was etc. And it got busy after we arrived so the bartender was busy. The house margaritas were great! We'll definitely come back for happy hour & to try other things on the menu.
