    What a great place! It is on a somewhat rough corner on a rough section of Colfax, but do not let that deter you. Inside is a clean, inviting restaurant with friendly staff and great food! I cannot count how many times I have driven past and am glad I finally went in. I cannot wait to go back and start work on exploring their menu!

    Chips and Salsa
    Nick M.

    Super amazing food, chips are thick and great. So is the salsa. But the best part is the service, they treated me amazing and the food came fast.

    I would not recommend this place. The food was not good. It's really close to me, so I was hoping to like it. The margs were fine!

    Burrito supreme (ground beef)

    The food here is so authentic and delicious!! Just took my Dad here and he couldn't believe the large portions and amazing service. Highly recommend!!

    Two carne asada tacos with rice
    Cat H.

    I have done my fair share of traveling and eating at different restaurants with carne asada tacos. This is by far the best tacos I have ever had. My food also came with the most bomb tortilla chips! They are nice and thick, have the perfect salt, and just the right amount of crisp! I would absolutely recommend this place! The employees were incredible friendly and kind! They checked in my a few times to make sure everything was all good! The hospitality was so generous! I really enjoyed this restaurant and when I come back to Colorado this restaurant will be a must stop for me!

    5 stars for the Quesabirria tacos which are not on the menu. You MUST GET THESE. There's 5 in an order and they're around $14. They're amazing. Juicy, flavorful, cheesy. Just perfect. The chips and salsa here are pretty good as well. We tried the smothered burrito but nothing compared to the birria tacos. Come. here. For. These! You will notice be disappointed. Service could definitely be quicker but I could tell they were short staffed. We stumbled upon this place after searching for a food truck but so happy we stumbled upon this!

    Beef and chicken tacos
    Isaac M.

    As a guy from New Jersey, I don't know Mexican food as well as some Westerners. To me, Los Mesones is some of the very best Mexican food I've ever had. The chicken and beef tacos are absolutely incredible and the smothered burritos? To die for. Los Mesones is authentic as you can get. If you're visiting Denver and you want to try real Mexican food, Los Mesones is an incredible bet.

    queso-birria (lamb) tacos not on the menu but sooo tasty
    Brooke W.

    This was on the way to our destination and we were hungry! We asked our waitress what she liked and she mentioned if we wanted tacos she liked the asada and carnitas. We asked about the birria (lamb) and she thought we meant tacos, which we were lucky she did because she told us about the queso-birria tacos, which you will see pictured . There are 5 to an order with melted cheese on top and it comes with soup and a vinegary salsa, limes, onion and cilantro. It was plenty for the two of us.. I'm glad we said we would start with one order and then order more.. we didn't need to.. It isn't on the menu, so lucky for you I'm giving you the scoop. If you like braised/stewed lamb-order these you will not be disappointed!!

    Asada Tacos
    Carmen G.

    We discovered this small restaurant is a short walk from our house a few weeks after we moved in and have been coming regularly ever since. Whenever we don't feel like cooking but don't know what takeout we want, this is our default spot. Between the authenticity of the Mexican food and reasonable prices you can't go wrong. The asada tacos are our absolute favorite, and then we either get the chicken, carne molida, or barbacoa tacos in addition. During one of our visits my boyfriend decided to try the chicken quesadilla supreme and now that has become a part of his regular order ever since. Pickup is always easy, the tacos are usually done within 10-15 mins of when we call and service is very friendly.

    A friend recommended this spot, and I'm so glad! We went on…read moretaco Tuesday and had no problem getting bar seating (or there were a few tables available) around 5pm but I noticed after 6pm people were waiting for seating. The food was delicious! We got $2 chips and salsa off the happy hour menu and the queso con soyrizo (not on HH menu) which was served with warm tortillas. Honestly we probably didn't need all that because the tacos were so good I could've just filled up on more of the tacos, but still was a great meal! I ordered the lengua, pastor, and taco special (breaded shrimp). They were all so good. Think taco quality of a good street taco spot but with the ambiance of a cute tex mex bar. The bartender was great and made a solid marg ($8 on happy hour). You get a great deal on taco Tuesday but I'm sure you'd get great service and quality any day of the week!

    Sometimes you don't need culinary fireworks. Sometimes you need a place that feels like someone is…read moregenuinely happy you walked through the door. Adelitas is that place. I grabbed a seat at the bar where the bartender was friendly and engaging. On a recent Wednesday at 7:15, the restaurant was packed. When I left around 8:30, it was still busy. That's usually the best review a restaurant can get. Loyal customers don't keep coming back out of habit. They come back because it feels like home. The all-day happy hour margarita for $9 certainly doesn't hurt. The second one arrives before you've had time to argue yourself out of it. I ordered the enchiladas with carne asada and their house mole. If you're expecting one of those intensely complex moles with enough ingredients to fill a pantry, this isn't that. Adelitas' version is comforting, approachable, and deeply homey. It tastes less like a culinary experiment and more like something your abuela has been making for decades. The carne asada was tender, the rice and beans were exactly what they should be, and every bite reminded me why comfort food never goes out of style. Before leaving, I made the smartest decision of the evening. Tres leches to go. I devoured it later at home while Netflix asked if I was still watching. The cake somehow manages to be light while completely satisfying. Don't skip it. Better yet, don't pretend you're saving it for tomorrow. Adelitas isn't trying to impress you. It's trying to feed you well, welcome you warmly, and send you home happier than when you arrived. Whether your abuela was Mexican...or Greek...you'll understand exactly what they're serving here.

    This is such a nice place to get drinks and dinner with friends. The vibe is warm and cozy…read more There is a small parking lot next to the restaurant but it can fill up but there is a good amount of street parking in the area. Happy hour is from 4-6 every day and the deals are great. The quesabirria and the camarones al aljillo were delicious. I have been here before for their molcajetes and those were excellent as well, and good for sharing. They do have a small covered patio area which is adjacent a busy street. Service is consistently good. One of my favorite places for a drink and a bite in the area!

Ni tuyo means not yours. Experience ni tuyo. Pork belly tacos were insanely good. Also the rib molcajete. Those two items stood out. They feature original cocktails, thoughtfully invented. Some of them blow my mind, some of them I didn't think worked very well for my preference, but all of them were unique. I value this uniqueness. Don't get for about mezcal Wednesdays. A great way to leave your comfort zone and try whatever they are featuring for a reduced price. Their variety of curated mezcal is a great way to start and make progress on your mezcal journey. There is such a variety of mezcal that I believe there is something for almost everyone. Put your trust in their bartenders to guide you on the different styles and flavors. And finally, they are a huge part of the Colorado agave collective. Monthly agave tasting. The best way to learn and appreciate.
