Food is delicious and staff is so kind. I can feel the love. I'll definitely be back, when I'm in the neighborhood!

Fantastic little spot. They have soft rellenos, and I am more of a crispy relleno guy, but it was still great. The green chili was flavorful. Not super spicy, but good. The rice and beans were awesome. Stopped in for lunch with some co-workers as a normal spot nearby was closed, and we were all pleasantly surprised. We now have two spots to choose from on this same block that we know are great. Parking is always a bit of an adventure on this block, but not impossible. Be prepared to park a minute or two walk away. read more

Delicious Mexican food and always a good value. The male server is attentive and always welcoming with a huge smile! One of my favorite spots in Lohi! read more

The best Mexican food in the Denver area!! The service is always great! It has the feel of a great restaurant on the north side of Denver!

This spot is located in the LoHi area. Street parking in the neighborhood is easy Friendly service and fast serving Food, however, was not to my liking. Ordered garlic shrimp as well as some lengua tacos. The shrimps and tacos were too greasy and I personally thought it was too heavy. The lengua meat quality was good and tender I also liked their mole sauce read more

La Grande Mexicana - Torta with excessive lettuce and mayo hardly any meat - Mexican Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Our daughter and son-in-law took to brunch here after church. I ordered the Chicken Flautas, my wife ordered the carnitas plate, and my niece ordered the menudo, along a horchata. We arrived early enough to beat the crowd. The restaurant is located in the Northside, or my bad, The Highlands (still can't get over all the political correct city names, lol). The food was great, and the atmosphere was nice. However, the only downside side is the parking. Unless, you get there early, parking stops are hard to come by, but the food is worth the drive. read more

Delicious tacos! They had good and fast service and even better food. Nothing to complain about!

We love this area, and love Mexican food. So we checked it out. Glad that we did. Friendly service, and fresh chips and salsa. I loved the thin and crispy chips. Salsa was flavorful. We ordered a chile Relleno burrito which had melted cheese and was smothered with their green chile. I also really wanted an horchata. We split the burrito, as usual. I was bummed to find that the entire stem of the pepper was left in my portion. Glad I didn't bite into that. But the burrito and the smothered green chile was really flavorful. We got a side of salsas, and none were especially spicy, but they had great flavor. The horchata was great. It was in a really big cup, with lots of cinnamon. I am happy that we stopped by. The chips and horchata were excellent. The burrito and fresh salsas were flavorful. Friendly service topped off our visit. read more

Toddler taco tour 2019 stop number 7! Always a good sign when you walk into an ethnic restaurant and you are the only white dude there, this place did not disappoint. There are definitely times when you walk into a restaurant with a toddler and the weight staff visibly cringes...not at this place, they welcomed my two and 1/2 year old with open arms setting him up immediately with his own glass of water and his own basket of chips. This place is totally legit, probably the best carnitas that I've had this far on my tour, my friend that joined us had lengua and tripe and surprisingly both were incredibly delicious! We will definitely be back here sooner rather than later, very excited that we found this place hiding in plain sight! read more

Depends on what you're expecting of the Not what I expected tiny tacos was not Barbacoa chorizo not chorizo. Need I say more. I'll keep searching. friendly staff/waiter.Breakfast taco's Tiny tacos maybe for baby? just me myself and I. Coffee was good. Pretty disappointed read more

I can't fault the food - but the service experience ruined everything. So I'm waiting there for 20 minutes... and a few more people are ahead. We are promised our table is up next. I'm with a five year old so nothing is easy So these people come in, after i arrive, through the side door. Instead of taking names or making people form one line - they end up giving some of these people my seat As a waitress was leading us too it! We only had to wait a few minutes more but nothing pisses me off more than letting someone skip me in line AND not even doing anything to make it up There are plenty of restraints in Denver. Might as well avoid the ones where you have to sit and line and wonder if someone will come in after you ( though the other door) and take your table. Not worth the drama! read more

This is my go-to for Mexican food in LoHi. Their menu isn't very big and their seating is limited, but what they do they do well and with exemplary service. The hours have changed a bit so make sure you get out to dinner earlier than you normally would, but it's worth making the accommodation. So what's recommended? Nachos - all varieties Flautas Carnitas - all variations Shrimp Rancheros Make sure you get a beer with whatever you order for a truer experience. Parking is, of course, limited but you should find a spot eventually. Like I mentioned previously it's worth all the accommodations. Just don't take my spot... read more

I loved this little restaurant! We ended up here after nearby Uncle told us they had a two hour wait. It was already 7:00 pm and we couldn't imagine waiting til 9:00 pm to eat, so we wandered down the road to this Mexican restaurant. The chips and slightly spicy salsa that they serve as complimentary starters are delicious, and when my date and I polished them off in mere minutes our waiter quickly brought us more. He was also accommodating in helping me create a vegetarian meal, offering a veggie fajita that wasn't on the menu over the more typical chicken or steak. It was delicious, and my date loved his steak tacos as well. We left feeling full and happy! read more

Outstanding burrito. I immediately felt like family once I walked in the door. This is the authentic Mexican food in the highlands and the prices are great considering the location. This is a neighborhood gem and will be back soon. Great for take out or eating in. Also we're only a group of two but there were a couple large groups there too and there was no problems!!! Love this spot and excited to make this my new go to Mexican spot!! read more

La Grande Mexicana - Mexican Near Me - Denver, Colorado

I came here on a date, we ordered a chorizo burrito, enchiladas, and two margaritas- it was $40 not including tip. I had a hair under my burrito that I didn't want to mention because I was on a date. When we got the hand written check, the server clearly rounded up on the bill at least $2-$3, I still tipped 18% but was not happy about it. Again, I was on a date so I didn't want to confront the staff about the hair or the rounding up on the bill. I won't be back as the food was okay but these two events left a bad taste in my mouth and frankly the prices are too high relative to what you get. Bad value, not happy about coming here. read more

I am a firm believer in a good margarita. I love coming here, the tacos are mix and match 4 somes, with great meat selections. You always get a bowl of damn good salsa before your meal and don't get me started on the salsa flight they give when you order the tacos - so flavorful! The margaritas are a good mix between Pinche and La Loma, they never taste like margarita mix. This place has earned it's stripes, it's a great staple to the neighborhood and seriously... get a margarita. xoxox read more

My BF and I passed this place one night and he looked in at the decor and said that place looks legit... Turns out he was spot on! After spending the last decade in California, I have become quite a snob when it comes to Mexican food. I have been sorely disappointed in just about all of the "Mexican" food in the Denver area. All of the restaurants that call their food "Mexican" are actually Tex-Mex, which is American... But this place is the real deal! They don't smother everything in cheddar cheese and iceberg lettuce... THIS is what Mexican food is really like. It's not about the fancy margaritas. You can make a great margarita and serve Doritos, and hipsters will rave about what great Mexican food the place has, but for real, it's really about the food. This joint has just that. So the posh little hipsters who really just want to get drunk and eat chips and salsa, this isn't your spot, so don't bother crowding Yelp with your whining about grease and small Margaritas. This place has damn good real deal Mexican food like the taquerias in California. read more

La Grande Mexicana - OMG! This is real Mexican food! No cheddar cheese and iceberg lettuce here! Woohoo! - Mexican Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Great food. Off-street parking. They make REAL Chile Rellenos, soft-style. The cheese enchilada is great and covered in tasty sauce. And, I dug their hard shell taco. I heard wonderful things from across the table about the carnitas tacos as well. I really like that they bring you a set of four salsas to add some kick to your meal. They serve beer & margaritas, too! read more

THE BEST MEXICAN SPOT IN DENVER! I'm going to be honest and tell you I've tried so many places in search for good Mexican (moved here from Santa Barbara) and this place has become my go to! I get the chicken enchiladas every time but now I've been coming in the weekends for the breakfast burritos! They are out of this world! The people who work here are so nice and there is usually never a wait! Feels like a family run place and I come at least once a week! Don't miss this! read more

I stopped in here for my lunch hour to grab an order to go. It took 23 minutes for 4 tacos (for 10.76!) I was ready to ask for a refund by the time i got them. They were delicious tacos, no doubt. The place does a good bit of business. If you have the time, they do make good food, but if you are in a hurry it may need to wait. They never claimed to be fast food. read more

This place is just up the road from where I work, and yet I've only checked it out once. Gosh, I wish I got in there sooner! I had the chimichanga and found myself in a Mexican coma soon afterward. The proportion sizes looked just above average and yet I was stuffed by the time I finished. I loved the crispiness of the chimichanga and the right amount of pork. It was a little pricey for Mexican food, but it was worth every penny. Service was a little slow, though, it was the lunch time rush. A big bonus about the food was that it wasn't spicy at all. I hate spicy Mexican food because I just end up feeling sick afterwards. La Mexicana Taqueria left me comfortable (that is, after the food settled). read more
