Great queso, salsa, fajitas and drinks. All the best staples of a good Mexican restaurant. I usually try chimichangas when I go to new places but my gf and I split fajitas. They only have fajita plates for one but it was enough to share.

It was about an hour wait on a Friday night. The space was bustling and loud. Service was fast. The food was delicious. I do wish they took the time to melt the cheese on my mocajete but it was still good.

Complimentary chips and dipa

Los dos potrillos overall is a solid Mexican restaurant that you can visit. I will say depending on which location can slightly make one better than the other. We usually visit the parker Los Dos Potrillos, but this time we tried the original location. Our go to dish is the molcajete with the spiciest sauce. It is a solid dish, but for some reason, this visit, the dish dish not hit the craving per usual. Due to picking the spiciest sauce, they informed us at this location that the sauce would be on the side. I wish it wasn't because the sauce simmering makes a huge difference. The carne Asada fries was alright. I wish the meat was seasoned a little more, but it isn't the worst and better than a mid carne asada fries. I can share that I may just be spoiled from the fries I am used to from San Diego. I know because this location is the first, the restaurant is a little darker than the other locations and homey. It may be more authentic as being in a restaurant in Mexico. Personally, I love Los dos but I have a preference of going to the parker location. And last note, the parker is harder because it is a busier lot.

Steak and chicken fajitas

First time coming to this location, and I've got to say, it was a much better overall experience than the one I had at the Castle Rock location after they opened. We showed up for an early lunch and were seated right away. I ordered the combination fajitas, and my friend had a beef burrito. Drinks and chips/salsa came out fast. Our lunches came out soon thereafter. I could hear my fajitas sizzling...that's how they should be...sizzling on a scalding skillet, not served hot on a plate. Beef and chicken were very good. Tortillas are delicious. Lots of peppers and onions with really good flavor too. You could tell it was all cooked together, not separate and then assembled at the end. Service was friendly and prompt the entire meal. Will definitely be back.

Fresh tortillas and copy of check out much was split between 3 people.

To start, this is my Favorite restaurant chain in CO! This was my first time at THIS location and the service was a little disappointing compared to the Parker location. Never refilled chips and didn't ask if we wanted refills. After asking for more chips 3x, I had to get a little snippy and once I did, the service improved. This Los Dos location has the mom and pop Mexican feel which I love! When you walk in it's like walking straight into Mexico. I didn't see the tortilla making station but I might have missed it. Food is AMAZING! Some of the best queso in town. Skinny Margs are THE BEST. It's pricy but definitely worth it. Parking here is terrible.

My absolute favorite Mexican restaurant. The food is always delicious and outstanding. The customer service is beyond amazing. You are always treated like family. The table side guacamole is beyond fantastic!!! We have never had a bad meal here. The ambience is just as fantastic as the food!!! You will not regret coming to enjoy a meal with family and friends.

Los dos patrillos combo: tamale, enchilada, beef taco, bean tostada, rice, beans $17.50
Tes H.

The service was excellent, I wish the food would have been. Unfortunately the food here is underwhelming. I ordered a huge combo plate to try everything thinking I would take it to-go and eat the leftovers later. I didn't even want the leftovers. The beef taco and the bean tostada were both super bland and I put copious amounts of chalula on them to compensate. They were going to charge me $2.50 for a side of sour cream so I declined. The shredded beef in the tamale was tough and tasteless as well. The corn around the cheese enchilada was of bad texture and quality; think of what happens when you microwave a corn tortilla too long, that's it. On top of that, I was surprised to find a ton of lettuce on top of all of those dishes that typically don't even come with lettuce. It was just not a good food experience. This was my second time here. The QUESO is amazing though. I gave an extra star only for the Queso and the service. Likely won't be returning to this location. I may give another location one more to since it's reputation here is higher than this rating today. Also, the live music was going table to table. They were very good (and very loud). So expect that this is not a date establishment and you'll be fine! Fun for drinks it seems!

EVERYTHING FRESH AND MADE TO ORDER!!…read more Mapo Eggplant: Huge portions, great flavor, and cooked perfectly. Not over salted, and paired so well with rice. Garlic green beans: Still got a nice crunch and so flavorful with the garlic. The garlic was nicely fried and was not overpowering at all! Fried Pork dumplings: HANDMADE AND MADE TO ORDER. I couldn't believe how fresh and flavorful these were. They are not soup dumplings, but they were incredibly juicy. The size was ginormous! Shandong ramen with handmade noodles: Handmade noodles had a nice bouncy texture, tender meat, and flavorful light broth. Very similar to beef noodle soup.

I ordered the spicy beef. It was literally immersed, swimming, in grease. My guess is that they…read moreuse, as do so many restaurants, cheap, unhealthful seed oil. So it's, for me, inedible. I liked the people, the place, the menu, the location, but honestly I paid $30 for leftovers that I can't eat. It's a shame. I've never before seen anything this greasy. The owner came out to my car after I exited and asked why I didn't like it. While I respect that, he explained that what appeared as grease was instead, sauce, and that it was flash fried. The problem is that neither the sauce nor grease had taste or spice. When I placed several pieces of beef on a napkin, they saturated the napkin with oil. Maybe it's an oily sauce? They were generous with the beef. The beef quality was pretty good, and the vegetables were unique enough to merit praise. If it were me, I would ramp up the taste quotient in either the marinade or sauce, eliminate 90% of the oil, as it's unnecessary, and add spice. This could be a healthy dish if they used avocado oil, way less oil, and reduced the salt.

Visited Denver for the weekend and was taken here to eat. This place was amazing. Service was great…read moreand restaurant is nice. We came as a party of 6 and had to be split into 4-2 so be wary of that if you have a big party: Ordered the beef shank noodles and loved it. Noodles are house made and fresh. They hit the noodles lightly with Szechuan peppercorn (I believe) which gives a nice kick to it. Broth was light and flavorful. Overall a feel good bowl of soup

Definitely a solid 4 stars. I would have given it 5 but service was a little slow and I needed to…read moreask about getting our drinks. But walking in we were greeted in a timely fashion and being able to watch the noodles being made was awesome. Pros: large portions and friendly service. Even though it took maybe 15 minutes to get an order of steam dumplings, I can also understand that everything is made in house. We ordered the pork and cabbage steamed dumplings. Very good. I wanted to try the spicy wonton side dish. So next time. I ordered the beef and jalapeno dish. I loved it. The jalapeños weren't spicy but had a mild crunch to them. The beef was cooked really well. Had a light sauce on the bottom of the bowl that paired well with everything else. My husband ordered the Peking Wonton soup. The broth was light with a subtle taste that I couldn't identify. But it was a nice light broth. You could easily order half the menu since it's a small menu. Cons: I had to ask for our drinks, which our waiter forgot but did comp them. It was a diet coke and an unsweet ice tea. Service was a bit slower than I would have wanted. This is not a get in and out quickly restaurant. We did not see our waitress for more than half the time. But we did see other staff taking care of us. Recommended? Yes. Place is small and can fill up quickly. But the food was spot on as far as freshness of the vegetables and noodles. Staff is friendly. So those points make it a solid 4.
