I have been here several times on my way out of Denver. It's become my go to spot now, because it's quick, consistent and reliable. The bartenders were friendly when we sat at the bar the first visit. The other times we've just gotten food and sat in the restaurant area. The food is tasty and reasonably priced for airport food. The service is good but I've seen people who don't speak Spanish struggle with their orders a bit, both communicating and understanding. I'll continue to stop here because nothing else appeals to me as much.
A Chipotle with tamales. Decided to get tamales Vs. bowls, burritos and tacos. Did both red and green tamales with refried beans. Thought food was OK. Pricing is a decent value for an airport. Seating for the food court was near the restaurant.
For an airport restaurant, this place isn't bad. It's somewhat healthy depending on the toppings that you pick. It's fast and fresh. There's a lot of seating right next to it. They also have a lot of bottle and can drink options. Prices aren't bad. I got the burrito bowl and they give you a decent amount of meat, in my case 2 scoops. I travel a lot so this is a good option for a meal at the airport
*** Vegetarian Review *** Located near the C30 gates of the Southwest terminals. Great place to stop if you only have 45 minutes before your next flight. The line goes quick (Chipotle-style). All of their beans are vegetarian. Refried, black, and pinto. That's a definite plus. Vegetarians aren't limited in their choices here. 2 Tostadas / it's Chipotle-style ordering so you just go down the line. BYO, but there are paid upgrades. Rice, guacamole, and sour cream are all extras, but not a big upcharge. The corn tostada gets a little lost with all the toppings. It's not a very hearty shell so you don't get the additional textural component to every bite. Even still, it's a nice meal before you catch that flight. I tried both mild and medium salsas. Mild had a kick and the medium was just about where I can handle. Really did add an entirely different layer so if you can handle it, go for it. Overall - No plant-based options, but with a bean buffet available, I would recommend for vegetarians. Seating was readily available too.
Great food, ice cold beer, reasonable prices too! We had two pork taco salads and two Modelos for $44. That's winning at an airport!
Situated in the airport terminal is a food court. It can get busy based on flights incoming and outgoing. There wasn't a long line and the menu was prominently displayed in the waiting area. Walk up to the food counter (similar to a cafeteria) and place your order. In an assembly-line fashion your plate is moved from protein to vegetables and then the toppings (salsa, guacamole, sour cream, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, etc.) For an extra charge, I added grilled chicken to my tostada and "Frito" pie. It has been years since I've encountered a restaurant offering Frito pie, so I was rather delighted! They have plenty of tables, seating and a full bar at the left-hand side. It's first come, first served, just grab and table as soon as one customer leaves. It was nice to be able to sit and have a hot meal before a 4 hour flight. When you're in the area, stop by for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Don't forget to tell 'em that Rosemary sent ya!
For airport burrito bowls.... Top tier. When comparing it outside of the airport universe, it may not hold up. But amongst its competitors, it doesn't get much better! Prices were very very reasonable, $9.50 for a burrito or a bowl. Ingredients didn't look or taste particularly fresh, but it got the job done. Very tasty, spicy, and filling on a connection. And speaking of, the line was long but moved fairly quickly.
My favorite restaurant in Concourse C of Denver Airport. Southwest Airlines flies into Concourse C, where there is a serious dearth of good, quick food, and it's too much of a pain to go to any other Concourse for food, since you have to take the train. The prices are not too bad, given that you are in an airport where a bag of chips costs $3. I got an order of nachos ($7.50) with steak ($3) and sour cream ($1.25). It was a generous portion of chips, queso, salsa & carne. I would order this again, maybe skip the beans and sour cream. Concourse C has a really nice outdoor area between Gate 66 / 67, where I sat and ate my nachos. Thank you Denver Airport for building such a nice outdoor area!
Even with long lines they can be quick, but the food is pretty mediocre. I usually have a breakfast burrito for early flights, but nothing has ever WOWED me. Beats eating at McDonalds though.

On my layover en route my Grilled Veggie Bowl was ok but sort of a wet mushfest. Not my favorite. They were skimpy with the vegetables - a few bell pepper strips and onion shreds served soaking wet and showing no evidence of having been "grilled" - and I really needed some crunch or something to break up the grandpa's oatmeal texture that was very one-note. More rice and less under-seasoned beans-pile would have helped. And the staff were not very nice. Multiple grumpy-pants. But then on my layover going home on the same trip a few days later inexplicably I came back and tried the Two Tamales with black beans, lettuce, pico, spicy red sauce, cheese and sour cream. Much better! The tamales were actually really good! Redemption! It was pretty easy to find a seat both times, so there was also that. Not much for ambiance but better than eating at the gate. The tamales definitely beat a stale prepackaged airport sandwich. The Grilled Veggie Bowl, not so much. read more
Asked for Carne Asada but the meat didnt even look like carne asada. More like beef ends and trimmings. Nonetheless, flavors were there. Soda was small for the price point and the salad bowl tasted like it was fried in old oil. Descent option if you must eat in the airport, otherwise, wait and go out or until you get to your next destination. read more

I mean, you don't expect much from airport food, and you sure don't expect anything to be reasonably priced. But this was surely one of the more disappointing meals I've had at a restaurant. The portions were shamefully small and the composition unimaginative. I felt ripped off, even by airport standards. read more

The staff was friendly and the food was really good! We got the smothered steak breakfast burrito and the green chili had a little kick. The line wasn't long and everything was so smooth. I fell like other airport options are busy and the staff can be stressed BUT NOT AT LA CASITA read more

I travel a lot with my job, and this is one of my favorite stops. Sometimes I arrange my cross country flights just to go to Denver. I absolutely love the green sauce. If I'm getting breakfast (like today), smother it on a breakfast burrito. If I'm getting dinner, smother my tamales or frito boat in it. I think it is the perfect topping. Place is clean, and service has always been solid, so if you have time in the Denver Airport, go here. read more

Best fast Gluten Free, Vegetarian option I've found at an airport. Terminal C. $12.50 after I added Guacamole and a good amount of food. I'll take what I can get good flavor and tastes fresh. read more

Food bland. Steak? What steak? It was non existent. Apart from a few bites that contained some substance that was slightly reminiscent of meat, this was a bean burrito. Service was fine, they had someone going around picking up garbage and the mood is just what you'd expect from a Mexican Joint in the middle of the Denver Airport, but I didn't come here for typical service, I came here for at least typical food, but this wasn't even worth finishing. read more
