    Two regular dinners and one wet burrito.
    Judy P.

    We have been coming to Manuel's for 40 plus years. Still pretty much the same but noticed a change in that they are topping the tamale with green Chile instead of the chili con carne. We are always torn on what to order but always include either a wet burrito or just a side of the green. If you are a regular you probably go every January to get a new calendar. We do!

    This is a great little Mexican Restaurant that has historic ties to the Denver community. They have been around for 51 years, which is truly impressive for any restaurant in the area. It's unfortunate that they were forced to move away from the ballpark area due to development. Now they are in a not as high traffic area, making most of their customer base regulars. I would have to say you should most definitely go with the house specialty, the wet green chili burrito. I don't think they do there other stuff as well and think going with this will make you the most happy. For example, my boyfriend got a dinner plate that had a taco and thing was dripping with grease and he couldn't eat it. Moving on, the wet green chili burrito is pretty great. The green chili doesn't have any flour added to give a thicker consistency, this is why it's seems watery but is really good. In the green chili are yummy chunks of pork shoulder. I like the burrito with shredded beef, beans, and cheese. The shredded beef is of good quality and pretty tasty. My only complaint is that I wish there was more heat in the dish. I am, a spice fiend, so there you go. Regardless, I ate my whole burrito and thought it was pretty darn good.

    I love Five Points. I love the history. I love the soul. I love the charisma. I love the food. I don't love being one of the gentrifying, twenty-something white kids sucking the life out the neighborhood. Now that I've gotten that out of the way... This place has history, this place has soul, and this place has pork shoulder. The wet green chili burrito is served in a bowl, absolutely inundated with a very thin green chili. The green chili isn't very spicy, and it would do well to combat the thinness with a little more bite. The chunks of pork shoulder in the green chili are divine. Hearty chunks of slow-cooked, succulent, heavenly pork. The burrito was an afterthought compared to the pork in the green chili. The cheese was quasi melted, the shredded lettuce browned and wilting, and the beef was bland. But the pork shoulder. That fucking pork shoulder. This burrito didn't change my life, but it's a hearty meal, and the pork in the green chili sets it a notch above. And, the most expensive burrito on the menu won't set you back for more than $6. Toss in the history, the haggard contingent of regulars, and the very sweet, very cute girl running around doing everything, and you get a good experience that whispers of a time and a place that are quickly fading out of this city.

I also love their seasonal desserts and the chocolate dipping sauces for their churros are insane! The food has always been out quite quickly when I visited and think the prices are quite fair given the slightly elevated cuisine. Space is huge so reservations don't seem like they typically are necessary

    Let me preface by saying, my kids love the rio. It's simple Tex mex and they know what to expect,…read morebut the last 6-8 months has made my husband and me not like the rio as much! 1. They changed the menu. A lot. No salad with shrimp. 2. For many months, no kids nachos and it was too much to ask for them to melt cheese on chips. Luckily for my daughters sake, they brought those back 3. Weird, non Mexican salads like roasted beet and iceberg wedge 4. Vegetarian items left are mostly just cheese based. Very disappointing! And tonight was the kicker: The kids wanted the rio for Mother's Day but it was a long day and I knew we couldn't go out. Their website stresses that you can order online. I went through the whole order It was very organized Until I tried to pay. It kept saying the amounts had changed and I needed to change a selection but it wouldn't tell me which item and no amount of changing it worked. So I called. I was hung up on after waiting for 5 min I called back and waited longer She took my order but it was tough to get the girl to understand what we wanted. We SLOWLY went through each item, and every item was different than online (e.g. 3 tortillas per order instead of an order of a dozen online). I kept going. We get through my list of things I had ordered. It took 7 min to order for not-so-big family. Then, she repeats the order back to me. She left out HALF of the items we had just gone through! But the total? More than the full order online. I was done! I cancelled my order. I was already hesitant that we would t get the right items since it was so hard to get her to understand. But the higher price with half of the items and less amounts for each one? No thanks! I probably can't get away with avoiding the rip bc my kids still love it, but we used to embrace it and now we look for reasons we can't go. We are actively searching for a replacement that offers good items for the whole family

I remembered it as "elevated Taco Bell" -- and to be honest, I feel like that is the perfect way to describe it. And I really don't mean that to be shady-- I love Taco Bell! There is just simply a big difference between Chuy's, and Las Delicias and/or Los Arcos. The food was good, and the drinks were also tasty! We got shared the appetizer plate (combo?) and the enchiladas with New Mexico green chili. The green chili didn't feel like the authentic kind that I'm used to. So, I really don't have any problem with Chuy's. I'd just say that yes, it is truly "Tex Mex" ... and not authentic Mexican. I'll see y'all again, hopefully before 10 years from now, ha!
