This is the first time I've ever huevos rancheros served with mushrooms in the sauce... And with a side of white rice and green peas. Fantastic combination. The sauce is mild... Not hot but very tasty. The beans... were a little cold. I asked for french fries and got a wonderful bucket of them. They were delicious. I live in this neighborhood. The restaurant is fantastically decorated and has a wonderful festive atmosphere. It's it's a long Morrison Road which is going through an absolutely incredible transformation in this party city. I'm so happy to be this restaurants neighbor. By the way... There are Frida kahlo paintings all over the wall. The Pepto-Bismol pink wall is a wonderful touch. read more

Frieda Kahlo is one of my favorite artists and this is definitely one of my favorite place in Denver. The food is wonderful. I got steak enchiladas and my husband got the mole chilaquiles (sorry about the spelling)--both were really tasty. Very kid friendly establishment with a relaxed and fun atmosphere. The customer service was also really good. Also, we highly recommend the sangrita. read more

Definitely will be coming back! Their other location Tarasco's never disappointed, so of course I had the same expectations for this location. This is a great location for anyone looking for the most authentic food North of the Rio Grande! Definitely also a good spot for any vegan and vegetarian foodie looking for new places and authentic savory Mexican food as they have an entire menu dedicated to just that! read more

Kahlo's - México City juice: Carrots, pineapple and orange. So delicious and 100% natural juice. - Mexican Near Me - Denver, Colorado

They just opened a few months ago and several friends have said it's fabulous. So today I went. Loved the potato/carrot enchiladas with a savory tomato-ey sauce. Perfectly cooked, as was the jasmine rice and refried beans. Loved the vegan horacha drink (I know I'm spelling it incorrectly) and the sample of green chili. Kahlo's should be on every vegan's top places to dine! Even if you're not vegan, make the trip! You won't be disappointed with their extensive selection. read more

Great place for gluten-free Mexican food! It is a rarity to find allergen-friendly Mexican places but Kahlos has gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan options galore - all clearly marked on the menu. Add to that an impressive array of fresh pressed juices and a nice, bright atmosphere, and this place is definitely worth a visit. read more

Amazing service and amazing mole! This restaurant is worth going to and visiting. The decor has frida Kahlo's work all on the walls as well. Live this place! read more

Kahlo's is unassuming and honestly a little difficult to find, but those are the only negatives I can muster. The food is downright phenomenal. I would consider myself a connoisseur of Mexican cuisine and this is hands down my favorite. The dishes are authentic and made with love. Everything from the chips and salsa to the drinks (non alcoholic sadly) and the entrees are artfully crafted. The staff is insanely friendly and the portions are generous. I ate there with a party of 6, and everyone loved their meal. To boot, two of them were vegan and one of the vegans was also gluten free- and even she had options that she loved (which never happens). I can't say enough good things about Kahlo's. Eat here; you won't regret it. read more

this place is beautiful the walls are beautifully full of pictures of frida kahlo's i love the burrito and the water of mango read more

Yum! Got the fish tacos, verde enchiladas and horchata for dinner tonight. Everything was fresh and super tasty! Lots of options for all diets too including vegan. Great spot and can't wait for it to warm up to eat out on their patio. read more

My family and I moved to Denver, CO area about a year and a half ago from the Bay Area in California. We have looked for a good and real Mexican food restaurant and we have not found one. Kahlo's happens to be the place that is pretty close. read more

I love Frieda Kahlo, so wanted to give this place a try. I've been there twice already. Very clean place, awesomely decorated and the food is good. Different style of Mexican then I'm use to. The first time I had the Caldo de Pollo- The chicken tasted a bit gamey, but the broth was really good, not greasy. The second time I had Tamale with crema- this was very good and flavorful. Only complaint are the portion sizes. A bit pricey for the amount of food. read more

Love this place! Great food, fabulous vegan options, incredibly friendly staff and owner! They are known for their enchiladas but I have an affinity for the carnitas chimichanga. Add a pina fracas too! read more

Very cool and beautifully decorated. Not the same old modern crap. My shrimp enchiladas were fantastic. I can't believe this place exists and isn't famous. One of the best dining experiences I have had. read more

This place is incredible! Chef Noe has created a menu that kept my tastebuds wanting more! My son had the Huarache Azteca and it was amazing! The cactus perfectly cooked and seasoned and paired beautifully with the steak. I had the enchiladas Rojas, highly recommend. Do yourself a favor and get an agua fresca. We ordered a Tamale Oaxaqueno as an appetizer. My son has a peanut allergy and Chef Noe came out to explain the process and ingredients used in his mole. Peanut Free!! We will be back! read more

What a disappointment. Mediocre at best. Service minimal. Food typical Mexican which is over priced for what you get. I had chile relleno, the poblano soft relleno. One, yes, one pepper. Sitting there on the plate with the typical splat of refried beans and some white rice. $10. Wow! What a ripoff. The chips and salsa the usual, tasted like store chips. Were they? Could not tell. Salsa just OK. All in all not a real dining experience. Not even an eating experience. Not worth it at all. Cross this one off the list. read more

Great food and service. Many vegetarian options that were easily marked on the menu. I'll definitely be going back!

The food was really good and the vegan options are so amazing. The juice list is impressive as well and the vegan horchata was delicious. Just wish this place would clean up a bit and have the bar tender/server wear gloves. His nails had some sort of fungus and it was kind of gross having him serve our food and chips. read more

This was surprisingly fresh, delicious, authentic Mexican food! It looks unassuming from the outside but the interior is decorated in bright colors and prints by-who else-Frida! We were shocked it was empty on a Saturday night. They have a large menu and most of it can be made vegetarian, vegan, or gluten free. It's a mix of typical dishes and items I've never seen on menus at other Mexican restaurants in town. Guacamole and salsa were fantastic! We had the enchiladas de plazera which had potatoes, carrots, chilies, and came with rice and beans. The flavors were fresh and surprising and we had great service. The restaurant is impeccably clean. Everyone go here and keep this local gem thriving! read more

Stopped here on a whim driving past and I'm glad we did, it was SO good. We had enmoladas and the crispy chili rellanos and they were amazing. My husband also had the fried ice cream and loved it. read more

Kahlo's - Vegetarian cheese enmoladas (enchiladas with mole) and crispy rellanos. Very good, we will be back! - Mexican Near Me - Denver, Colorado

I am persnickety. I grew up in the Sonoran Southwest, and I have now lived in Colorado more than 2/3 of my life. I love Mexican food, but I don't love Coloradan's version of Mexican food... until now. Why did it take me so long to find you, Frida, my love. Kahlo's is leaps and strides better than all of the rest of the white-washed Mexican food joints in town. Truly authentic dishes! One of a kind vegan and vegetarian specialties! Every ounce of produce is fresh and flavorful! And the ambiance is delectable with Frida Kahlo posters hung on every inch of the walls. There's an entire menu of fresh fruit jugos (juices) to choose from. And nearly every dish described on the menu sounds like a showstopper. I am enchanted by this little slice of Sonora i found on the most authentic street in all of Denver. Go. Go now. You will not be disappointed! read more

I'm kind of a jerk when it comes to Mexican food. With Texas roots and six years in southern California, I've gotten really spoiled, opinionated, and should probably learn to just shut up. With that said, Denver's Mexican food selection has never really impressed me. It's just mediocre tacos everywhere. However, I was really impressed with not one but two Mexican restaurants recently, Kahlo's being one of them. I've been back a few times since and I've been happy each time so I know it must be legit. That guacamole, lord have mercy, it's just perfect. Chunky, right amount of garlic and tomatoes, creamy, and served with fresh tortilla chips. I could make a meal out of this but as I've established in other reviews, I'm a glutton and I love to eat until I feel sick and/or ashamed. The chile rellenos (gotta get 'em crispy) are worthy of a ballad. Someone get on that. They have a thin, crispy batter over a fresh pepper stuffed with gooey cheese. I was also impressed with their potato and carrot enchiladas, vegan style. They're light and flavorful. The one dish I wasn't totally into, and the waitress warned me, was a tamale made vegan. It just didn't have a lot complexity but as I said, the waitress told me that it wasn't one of her favorites for that very reason. The beans and rice are also really tasty; I just wish they were served together instead of opposite sides of the plate because I like to mix them like a heathen. They also have an awesome selection of fresh juices. I've tried a few and was delighted each time. read more

Some of the best Mexican foods around. Really enjoy the burritos, enchiladas, juices, and nopales. Very vegan friendly as well.

I wanted to like this place. I did like this place. We went to pick up some churros. The restaurant was completely empty. No customers. We ordered our churros. I ordered 2 orders. I got 2 churros for $9! That is ridiculous! They were tasty. They were ok. But they were NOT worth $9. Not sure I would go back. Bummed about it but also know 2 churros are NOT worth $9. read more

Food here is so good! Tons of vEgan/ vegetarian options. Surprised that they don't serve alcohol, but not mad about it.... maybe in the future. Definitely will be going back here! read more

Just tried this place out - WOW is all I can say. The food was absolutely delicious, and different options than just standard tacos and enchiladas. They had a full list of smoothies, and I had a watermelon water that was also amazing. It was super busy when we went and there seemed to be only one man running the show...but the service was still everything we expected and more! We live right down the street and are already talking about when we are going back here next. read more

I wanted to love this place. After my visit, can't muster two stars. Service timing was off. Chips arrived without salsa. Salsa arrived after the chips were gone. Would have liked to try them together. Food arrived over 30 minutes after ordering, room temperature. About five minutes after the posole arrived at the table, the condiments were delivered. After that, the server ignored us until we asked for the check. Food is seriously under-seasoned. read more

This is a fantastic traditional Mexican restaurant that caters to Vegetarian, gluten free, and even Vegan tastes! ( the Vegan comic cimichanga was top notch ) It only opened up in late 2016, so is a little slow, but as a vegan with limited Mexican options in town, I *need* this place to make it big. Noe is friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. Give it a shot, you won't regret it! read more

Love this place! Try the Vietnamich coffee! Fresh guac. Delicious healthy food options. Great service.

Friendly service, though a bit slow. Food was fresh, but in the free chips and salsa, the chips were stale. There is a variety of gluten free, vegetarian and vegan dishes. The food is fresh, but nothing out of the ordinary or exquisite- simple, fresh Mexican fare for a reasonable price. Definitely want to return to try some meat dishes and juices. read more

Seeking a decent place for vegetarian fare on our way to see a play in Lakewood, I took my family of four to Kahlo's on a snowy evening. I remembered seeing a good write-up on the place in Westword earlier this year. Service was fast and friendly, though that may partly be because we were the only ones there (early dinner.) There were plenty of options to choose from. I wanted my kids to taste mole for the first time, so we got a dish of enmoladas; I'm no mole expert, but the flavor was rich and there was just enough, but not too much cheese. We also had enchiladas plazeras (potato & carrot) which were quite good, a huarache nopales (decent, my son liked it a lot), and enchiladas espinaca (spinach), which I didn't care for much. I never get to this part of town, but I'll be looking for excuses to come back this way. Hopefully more people learn about Kahlo's and experience their good food. read more

LOVED everything about Kahlo's. We went at 6:30 on a Saturday evening and were one of only two parties dining. I didn't know whether to be happy that we had this hidden gem nearly all to ourselves, or sad because people are seriously missing out by skipping over this small, yet awesome establishment. The food was incredible, the options were many, and the service was top notch. The owner, who also served us, was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. The other party dining near us asked him what makes Frida Kahlo famous and he was a wealth of knowledge and an excellent story teller. The menu was frustrating only in the aspect that we wanted to try EVERYTHING. I guess we'll just have to return soon, and often! read more

I have two different experiences, the first one was good the server was very friendly and served me chips and salsa and explained me the menu options. The food was good. The second time, there was no chips and salsa, and no ideas provided about what to drink. I was very disappointed. I'm not coming back. read more

We came here with some friends (who are meat eaters) and us (vegans) and everyone was quite pleased. The food is wonderful! I had the nopales tacos and a pineapple fresca (so yummy!). We will be back with friends again. The only reason I demoted it a star was for the very poor lighting, as the night got darker on us it became apparent that we were sitting in a corner with no lights on. With the lights on/with working lightbulbs in that part of the restaurant it would have been a 5-star affair. read more

Based on the reviews, I decided to come here for my 40th birthday lunch. The service was the worst I've experienced. The older gentleman couldn't be bothered with the smallest of requests. Contemplated leaving when the booster seats where filthy. Wish we would have. Not children friendly, no children's menu. The food was very bland. I've never had a chili relleno filled with cream cheese??? Was really hoping to find a local Mexican restaurant with the basics, good food and good service. Unfortunately the search continues. read more

We were looking for a place to eat and this came up mainly because of the vegan options. I am not vegan my daughter is. So glad we found it. Food was awesome! Did take out cuz ya know covid and all so no idea what the inside looks like. I live way east Aurora and would be willing to drive to eat here again. Awesome mural on the building. read more

Kahlo's is a hidden gem! I live 1mi away and had never been... Great place; great service. Will definitely return.

Delicious, authentic, and unique. Owner is amazing and dedicated to serving quality and authentic cuisine from his home region of Mexico.

If you are vegan/vegetarian and miss authentic Mexican, this is it. Great place and great ambiance. A Denver treasure.

It was our first time at this restaurant and hope they are successful as the food was delicious. I had the chicken soup and it was delicious and big enough to share. It was a big bowl with a lot of broth, two drumsticks, potatoes, carrots and a side of flavored rice, yum. My wife had the vegetarian burrito and loved it. If you haven't been down Morrison road lately you wouldn't believe all of the development happening. This is going to be Denver's Mexican cultural district. A lot to be revitalized but some big projects already in place. read more
