    $22 "vegetarian" fajitas
    Jason R.

    I'm extremely disappointed!! I have been looking forward to trying this place for a while now, but I always put it off due to the prices. They are pretty high. Tonight, I tried to give it a go, and I was totally let down.... The first problem is I ordered vegetarian fajitas... FOR $22!! Seeing that it was $22, I expected a beautiful, large portion of a nice variety of vegetables. Instead, I got a small pile of peppers onions and an equally small portion of steak. A small portion of refried beans and a clump of Spanish rice. No tortillas. There are no toppings for the fajitas, like lettuce, tomatos, sour cream, or anything. NOTHING. I also got a stuffed chili relleno. Which was actually a mushy chili with cheese and multiple stems inside. Dipped in bread crumbs and pan-fried. Then it's smothered in what I can only describe as marinara sauce. Basically, it's a chili patty parmesaen. The only reason I gave it 2 stars was because the service was quick and arrived faster than expected. With all of the other amazing mexican restaurants close by, I definitely will not be returning...

    Torta Birria Con Consome Quesabirrias w/ consume  Smothered Burrito

    The food was really good, my boyfriend and I wanted birra tacos so we saw this place on tik tok and decided to try it out lol. The service was also good, they were nice and can also speak english. It's a pretty bright pink inside and overall welcoming, although it's pretty hidden it's really good. Definitely recommend

    Birria Gordita

    I've been wanting to try this place for a while and finally got around to it. It did not disappoint! Although the menu had lots of great options I came for the Birria Gordita, it lived up to the hype I had heard. Excellent flavor, great portion, and lots of good salsas on the side. I'm stoked it's so close to me, I'll be back for more soon.

    Taco de chicharrón

    Food was delicious. I order taco de chicharrón and taco de carnitas they were served up just right with tasty red and green. Also, ordered gordibuenas which are served birria style with consomé. Perfection. Service was friendly and helpful. They made me a delicious michelada. I would definitely return.

    Carne Asada Plate
    Justin G.

    This is a good Mexican restaurant I have dined at in Northglenn back from June to August 2023. I ordered plates with shrimp and carne asada (chopped steak). The plates came with corn tortillas, refried beans, rice, shredded lettuce, and pico de gallo. I thought the chopped steak and shrimp were high quality, and I enjoyed their cooked-in sauces. The refried beans and rice were good. The corn tortillas were warm and fresh. The chips and salsa were good. However, I thought the guacamole could have been better. It had too much lime juice, cilantro, and tomatoes. It was also too loose. The service was good however. The food was delivered fast. The interior was like a bar with limited tables for dining. The place was pretty small. This is good Mexican food, but I have found better restaurants in other places. For the Denver area though, this is the best Mexican food I have eaten.

    Birria Taco is phenomenal, and came recommended by the host , perfectly cooked beef , melted cheese , onions , cilantro alone they are so tasty . Then you dip them into the consume Savory flavored soup with a hint of spice ! If you're local and you haven't tried , you are missing out . This is the local birria headquarters. And if you've never even had one Of these kind of tacos yet catch up , it's 2022 and this is your invite ! - @CallMeBroox

    There was a bug in my food placed an order through grub hub and when i opened the taco and was looking i was something that was clearly cut with a knife and cooked with the meat BEWARE

    Birria de Res Combo

    A MUST! Authentic, Chic, Mexican hold in the wall. I wish I knew this place was here sooner! Food and beverages are great. Aguas weren't to my liking, but everything else was top quality. Generous portions. Smaller space, but it's worth it!

    I have been searching for good Mexican food since I moved to Colorado three years ago I'm originally from Texas and I've also live in California and I just know good mexican food and this place is it. I ordered the birria ramen which came with three crispy tacos filled with cheese for dunking in the soup. They were super delicious . I also ordered the birria tacos and the consumme was very flavorful the meat with seasoned perfectly as well. I also ordered a side of rice and beans, and that was literally the most flavorful rice and beans. I've tasted in a while. I highly recommend this place check it out! this is my new go to as far as the other reviews not sure what's going on there. this place also had Latin music playing on the speakers it definitely was a vibe in there.

    Gordibuenas
    Zoe K.

    Very unassuming, AMAZING spot. Tucked away in the corner of a shopping center, La Patrona is a secret joint for the BEST Mexican food in a subdued atmosphere. All the staff were incredibly kind, offered up recommendations, and ensured we had good service. The FOOD though IS NEXT LEVEL. My partner and I shared quesa birria tacos and gordibuenas - both with consomé. The portions are excellent! Free chips and salsa! Cant wait to go back and try their soups!

    Costillas con Verde
    Juan L.

    Decided to stop in at La Patrona after some raving reviews. The service was friendly but we had to wait a bit although they had some open tables. The ambiance was good but the music could have been a tad bit lower to talk to our people in the table. I believe they had staffing issues but the food did not disappoint. We ordered flautas, birria tacos, some margaritas, and costillitas en chile verde, YUM!!! Sooo good. Highly coming back to try the next item on the menu. Great staff!!!

    Birria Ramen & Birria Tacos
    Eboni N.

    I was looking for a local and really authentic Mexican food place to eat for my husband and I. We decided to give La Patrona a try. Although we were hesitant due to the location and the lack of cars outside, we gave it a chance! It was one of the best experiences we have ever had in the Denver area. The food was phenomenal, the service was top notch and the entire experience was very fast! I absolutely recommend their Birria combos! So so so good! We will be coming back again very soon! Especially for their mimosa towers!

    Quesa Birria Tacos 10/10 can't wait to go back!

This is the Michelin restaurant that you go to if you like a more casual / less stuffy experience. Food: 4 Every dish that we ordered was delicious, but slightly on the heavy side without anything light/acidic to break it up. Perhaps it's because of what we chose to order though! Frijoles Puerco: This was a play on refried beans and chorizo. The chorizo has a little kick to it. The sourdough tortillas were delicious and served fresh and warm. Callo De Hacha Al Horno: The scallops were a flavor bomb served in a serrano ponzu and tomato butter. I'm unsure why the scallops were cut into smaller pieces instead of left whole... Enmoladas De Pollo: This was essentially chicken enchiladas cooked in mole so I was skeptical if I would find this dish worthwhile. They proved me wrong as this was one of the best dishes of the night. The mole was flavorful, not too heavy, and the chicken enchilada was so well cooked. Birria De Borrego: The lamb shank was cooked until it was fork tender. After taking it apart, wrap it in a fresh and warm tortilla with refried corn beans and salsa. The lamb was well cooked and made for a good balanced bite, but it did feel special. Service: 5 We set at the chef table and was able to watch as they finished and plated each dish. The chef was attentive without being overbearing/annoying and we had a good conversation with him. Food came out at a good pace. Ambiance: 5 The restaurant is small and cozy. It didn't feel stifling or pretentious as other fine dining restaurants can sometimes feel. This would be perfect for a date or dinner with friends.

Others in my party might not have felt that way. But nonetheless they enjoyed the entire experience. It felt like everything we ate (at first) was pretty spicy. But by the end, the spice level was coming down. Some of the highlights, the sweet potato, the sourdough tortilla with the chorizo burrito. The scallops. The cod. The birria. The mushroom quesadilla. So, pretty much all of it! I enjoyed everything that I ate! I'm interested to come back for happy hour, since they have a few different plates on that menu. For dinner, I'll keep it reserved for special occasions. Try and get a reservation, I think you'll enjoy yourself, if you appreciate craft cuisine. Good job, Alma Fonda Fina Team!

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!

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 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.
