Rellenos.   Soft and crispy
Richard C.

We were at Walmart and we thought we would give it a try. Very clean restaurant and they have a very friendly staff and great service The first thing we noticed were the prices which were considerably higher than we expected. Salsa's were good and 2 were very hot. Chips were ok. We spoke to our waiter and he said the food was based out of Mexico City. The Relleno's were delicious. I preferred the soft style VS the crispy one though. Refried beans and rice were both made in house perfectly. I would consider this a high end Mexican food restaurant. Trying to make it in a low cost market will be a challenge. I just hope they make it. Thanks Joshua, our waiter, you did a great job.

Welcome

We were greeted immediately when we entered for lunch. The hostess took us to our booth. Then another individual put five salsas with chips on the table. Unfortunately, he, nor our waitress, told us which was which salsa, mild or hot. We tried the fajita steak burrito and a few tacos. I will say, I was impressed that they did give me 1/2 lime for the tacos, most places usually give you a much smaller piece. Regrettably, that was the only impressive part of the meal. Service pretty much matched the meal - mediocre and lacking.

Marg

Why is my skinny margarita bright yellow??? I stopped in for a skinny margarita. It took over 30 mins to get a margarita and I got one finally and it tasted like straight lime juice. I then asked them to remake it and it took 5 of them to try and remake it. They didn't have any of the great ingredients going into the margarita. This place does not know how to make a simple skinny margarita lol. They also charged me for it before I even got it. lol. This place is a joke. On the border was better across the street.

Cadillac magehrita was very good!

This is a new restaurant in Highlands Ranch and I need to ask everyone who reads this to PLEASE go and eat at this restaurant. This was an amazing experience! We are from San Diego, California and this is the only place we have found in Colorado that has authentic Mexican food!!!!! The carne asada is on point, really good flour and corn tortillas. The green chili sauce is not the typical green of the Colorado version, but the flavor is on point and it is genuinely spicy. They also have 5 salsas. The mild red tomato based sauce they serve with their excellent chips. 2 tomatilla sauces, one spicy and one mild. Plus 2 more salsas, one peanut based that is as creamy as it is spicy and another really spicy chili based sauce that is as oily as it is spicy and it is the real deal! No gringo spicy nonscense. Your scalp will be sweating. Great spot, great people, great food! Please, please go and eat at this restaurant so they can survive so I can go there again and relive the San Diego/TJ experience! A+++++!!

Queso flight
Cait L.

I've been to this location as well as the downtown Denver location. The food is just not that great, unfortunately. Although the decor inside of this new Lonetree location is beautiful, and the servers and hosts were very friendly. Frozen margaritas were strong and good. Pictured is the queso flight, which is an app I can get behind!

Shredded beef enchiladas
Emily S.

Had our first visit to Los Carboncitos and I'm on the fence if we will be back or not. The atmosphere was really nice, margaritas and agua frescas were delicious and we appreciated the variety of salsas- especially enjoyed the green ones. There were loads of items on the menu we were wanting to try but we went fairly standard for the first visit- we got the carne asada and shredded beef enchiladas. We enjoyed the side salads- simply dressed and tasty. My husband thought his was ok if a little overcooked. Unfortunately my enchiladas were ice cold when they came out even though the plate was warm. They offered to remake it but it took even longer than the initial order. It was warm but I still wouldn't call it hot. You can see from the picture a lot of the cheese still isn't melted on the redo. Even with the remake, I wouldn't call the sauce great- it actually more closely resembled a pasta sauce than an enchilada sauce. Although our server was very nice and I especially appreciated that she is bilingual, it seemed like she may have been juggling too many tables and she didn't seem to have much time to check on us. Overall, a pretty meh experience. Although I'm willing to give it another go with a different menu item (everyone has an off day every now and again), I won't be going out of my way for another visit.

Sopes

Food is incredibly good! I got chicken sopes and my mom got tacos de tripa... she loved them. We are from Mexico and just absolutely loved it. Will be back!

Carne Asada with refried beans, rice, salad. Tlocoyos on the far plate. Chips and 5 sauces.  Most excellent taste and presentation.

I've given this food truck two chances at two different breweries, and both times were a disaster…read more The truck looks cool -- graffiti-style with "Hot Chicken" plastered on it -- but here's the kicker: they don't actually serve hot chicken. False advertising right off the bat. On top of that, they can't show up on time. Both times I've waited on them, they rolled in hours late. One football Sunday they didn't even arrive until 2:40 PM... when games start around 11 AM. Not exactly a reliable partner for breweries trying to host customers. Now for the food: honestly, it's nothing like the pictures online. It comes out looking sloppy and unappetizing. Against our better judgment, my friends and I ordered anyway -- and all of us got sick. This wasn't a one-off either. Both times I ate from this truck, I got sick. That's a major red flag. The owners themselves are nice people, but the product and execution are unacceptable. At this point, the health department really needs to step in and inspect this truck because something isn't right. They also have a brick & mortar restaurant in Lone Tree, but after two bad experiences, I won't be going anywhere near it. If I see this truck at a brewery again, I'll be eating somewhere else.

Ok let's be real for a minute...a lot of Mexican restaurants around town are more on the Tex Mex…read moreside, good but basic Mexican food. Not Purisima. Authentic, homemade, flavorful, inventive and delicious food! The owner, who stopped by our table to check on us and chat, is from Mexico City and brought all the flavors of Mexico to Colorado and I'm glad he did. Good food, good music, good service. Not sure what else you need?! On the small downside, yes it is a little more costly than other places. I think part of that is the location, Lone Tree being in a wealthier part of Douglas County. However, don't let that stop you from going, just plan accordingly.

The food is delicious! It is authentic, has decent portions and presented well. The last time I…read morewas there I had menudo and there was a lot of tripe in a BIG bowl. It was served with chopped onion, oregano, red pepper flakes (I added a bit of all of this to the bowl), 4 tortillas, and I ordered some avocado. Next time I'll have pozole. It is only served on certain days of the week. The service is good. The only thing I would say is to greet patrons with more enthusiasm when we approach the desk for a table. Communicate how long the wait will be. The ambiance is nice with Mexican decor. I took a picture of the ofrenda (an altar decorated to celebrate loved ones that have passed). They celebrate birthdays. There were three when we were there. The birthday celebrant wears a big Sombrero and they sing the happy birthday song and bring dessert with a candle. The parking can be a little difficult on busy days/times. There are several other eateries and businesses nearby.

Service! Worst service! Marcus, if that is his real name, was terrible. We always tip 25-30%, I am…read moresisnt wmat top tip 10%. He didn't deserve any, We had to ask for water, salsa, rounds of drinks, a knife (which was never delivered) . We ordered tableside guac, he said it would be 10-15 minutes before he could do it. I knew he didn't want to do I did a time check, and 23 minutes later, no tableside guac, Marcus was often not seen at his other tables nor on the floor during this time, one might say he was missing in action. He had plenty of coworkers standings in the back area in front of the soda dispenser. He came to our table at 25 after and said it would be another 10-15 minutes before he could start the guac, and did we want it. 45 minutes for tableside quac? No. The tableside guac cart did not move the entire time we were thereabd one guy used it one time to make quac and then took it to a table I could not see. If you know Los Dos, that cart never collects dust, they are know for thier tableside guac; it is normally always in service. PATHETIC!!!! None of us will ever be back. We may not patronize the original location at Holly or Kipling and C470 again. This is NOT the Los Dos the family started years ago and that we fell in love with. Sad and pathetic! I heard they have a new bartender at the Holly location and the margaritas are aweful. Go to Caddy Snack Cantina, great service, food, drinks, and much better prices. And you aren't run out after having just at down. I gave this one star as the food was fine. Not great, but edible. Marcus was awful!!!!!
