Happy time, happy time, my favorite time is happy time!…read more My husband, daughter and I came for Happy Time. Got my tacos and added the shaggy style. Ordered a Michelada. They make their own Michelada mix according to our server. It has great a great spice to it. My husband also had tacos shaggy style with a Coin Margarita. My daughter went with the green chile cheese tots accompanied by a frozen mango margarita. We all shared an order of chips and salsa. Our service was prompt and attentive. We did ask for waters along with our drinks. Those were kept filled. Everything was tasty, as usual. This is a favorite of mine.

Just review the photos, DOGS are Important and they have their own special Dish "Asada" the Dog Special. Cochino offers the "Ease of Free Parking Lot!" I have driven by many times, promising I would check it out 'someday'! TODAY WAS THAT DAY!

Cochino is filled with Cheers & Laughter, from the Patio with Dogs wagging tails - through the bar, dining room, side room, this is a great FUN Place. ""Did I mention, Broncos' were playing on all 10 TV's this day!!!"" The Bar has 5 Full Screen Tv's! Along with a TV in the side lounge, with 4 more TV's in the dining area (larger room). The patio is filled with people and their Dogs!! Not sure if there was a TV there, but a cute sign about "Doggy Manners" as one approaches the fence to the patio. Cochino Taco is, A FUN PLACE! and DAMN!!!! GOOD FOOD!! MEXICAN STYLE!! Lots of Drinks, Frozen and regular bar with Draft! (Cochino Taco is a thoroughly thought out small successful restaurant). Now some might say Cochino Taco is not traditional mexican!!! Ahem!! Hmmmm!!! The only place I believe one might find "Traditional Mexican fare" is in Mexico, Maybe!!! All chefs make their own style!!! What I found here at Cochino Taco was; a thoroughly delicious complete menu, with delightful service from the moment I stepped in, to the moment we left with warm Smiles. A perfect blend, having people returning for the FOOD, bring their best friends, family and - our DOGS, for the sports, and FUN Meal!!!!

I have been going to Los Arcos for many years. My brother proposed to his wife there and also had a…read morerehearsal dinner there many years ago. The last time I went with two friends a couple of weeks ago, I was disappointed. First we were seated at a table that was so lopsided that we moved to another. That table was also lopsided so we tried a third. One of my two friends had picked Los Arcos for her birthday dinner. The food was good, as usual. Just before we got our food, we were asked if it was alright with us to move our table about 2 feet as they needed to add another table to a very long set up table for a large party. There wasn't very much room for us to move over but it was done. After dinner we're were sitting and taking when a waitress came up to us and asked "will you be staying long"? The way she said it sort of made me angry and I looked at her and asked her if she wanted us to leave. She said that the large party next to us had become even larger. She said if we were staying we needed to pick up and move to another table. It all seemed rude and not like the past service we had received at all. So we moved yet again. We had ordered fried ice cream which I love but it was so frozen that we couldn't even get a knife in it. Ended up leaving it. The treatment we received was nothing like many times in the past. I don't know if we will ever go back. John and Kendra, you and your restaurant are better than this.

By the end of the party, every single guest was complimenting how great the food was! We ordered a little too much, which actually worked out perfectly because we got to enjoy the leftovers for another couple of meals. Great customer service, professional setup, and amazing food.

When we first arrived, no one was here. It was not the most beautiful day. But I was expecting…read moresomeone to be dining here on a Thursday afternoon. But at the same time, I also did not mind having all of the servers to ourselves. We just got done with the massage and I was craving something Mexican. When I sat down and started looking at the menu and saw that there were so many different classics to choose from as well as some twists on new flavors. I was pretty excited to try this place out. I was not crazy about the chips and salsa. The chips are really hard. And the salsa is extra spicy, which is completely unnecessary. So we just didn't eat much of that. Put her food didn't come out quickly and it was hunt and it was very good. I had to cheese enchiladas and I cleaned my plate. My date had a burrito. Smothered and it looked. Super yummy. It was really good. I was very surprised at how good it was and how it hit home. I'm used to eating Mexican food in Mexico and in Texas and this was fabulous. When we got the bill, I was surprised that how affordable our mail was for is what we got. I thought that this is definitely somewhere. I would want to visit again. This is classic. Easy, fun, good atmosphere, good music, good vibes. Good service.

The service is usually pretty slow, even when it's not super busy, but grab a pitcher of margaritas to keep your glass full and enjoy the company and some delicious food! The food does come out in a normal time once your server gets around to you, so not a major concern there. The margaritas are good, the Queso Fundido- while a cheese dip instead of a normal fundido- is delicious, and the portions of food are more than generous. The Burrito Supreme is smothered in delicious cheese and green chili, and is packed with steak and goodness!

We spoke with David and learned about their food and how much love they put in each dish. They have only been opened for 2 years. Service is friendly and the restaurant is very clean and modern. The food was phenomenal and Itacate is added to our list now. For starters, the fresada was delicious. It is a strawberry lemonade. I also ordered a Mango version to go. Very refreshing. We started off with the Queso Fundido with chorizo. It was hot and the cheese was just so good and stretchy. Such a nice find - we don't see it on menus in Colorado so must try. We ordered several tacos - birria, cochinita, shrimp, and fish. Every taco was delicious and full of flavor on its own. The rice and beans were also very well made. Each bite just bursts in flavor. David was kind enough to also let us try the Pambazo which is kind of like a torta but they grill it with the sauce on the outside. And if you put an egg in it, it can be fantastic breakfast sandwich. For dessert, we ordered the deditios con nieve which is funnel fries with sauce and coconut ice cream. It's deconstructed funnel cake essentially which my bf enjoyed because he can eat just the fries and ice cream. All in all, 10/10 experience. We will def be back

Drinks: They used cheaper tequila. my body cannot handle cheap tequila, but higher end stuff is just fine. how can I tell? I was sweating tequila the next day after one margarita.

Service: staff was lovely, though I wish they were more accommodating to my vegetarian guest. The refried beans are made with animal fat, so it is not vegetarian as advertised.

Everything was flavorful, fresh, and delicious. Our waitress, Daya, was wonderful.

My only complaint is that the tables are WAY too close together. We were practically dining with the people behind us Every time they sat down or got up, we were getting bumped, and I'm pretty sure we bumped them a few times too. A little more breathing room between tables would make the experience even better. But the food? 10/10. I'd absolutely come back!

I know they have a couple locations around Colorado and I was excited to try it since I'm a huge Mexican food fan. I usually love getting molcajete, but this one felt like it lacked sauce and was just fair, chunks of cheese and couldn't melt as nothing for it to melt into besides the bowl and then you don't get to enjoy the cheese -- nothing over the top. The corn ribs were good, not the best I've had, but decent. Chips and salsa were solid with the bean dip. Rice and beans were just okay. The chicken burrito was above average, but nothing incredible. We have great Mexican food around here, and while this wasn't horrible, I wouldn't rush back. I was hoping for something a little better. The prices felt really high for a Mexican restaurant. I've never seen appetizers like guacamole, queso, or corn ribs cost more than entrees. Service was fair -- they brought out our appetizer with our main course, so we didn't get to enjoy it hot. I hope they do well. I never want to see a business fail, but it wasn't a standout for me.
