Not your generic Mexican restaurant. Ni tuyo is special. The space, the food, and the staff. Owner is frequently there, and the passion is so obvious. Inside it feels like community. 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. read more

Went here for my birthday and had a good time! The prickly pear margarita was really good! We enjoyed the elote and guacamole. For the price, we didn't get very much guacamole but it was good, as was the elote! The pork belly tacos were very good but the tortillas were too small for the amount of filling. The molcajete was good but I'm not sure we would get it again. Overall, a solid spot for a nice dinner. read more

Delicious! I've wanted to come here for ages. Finally pinned down Hubs for a date and off we went. Sat at the bar and had excellent service that was super informative. We drank margs that were wonderful ($9 on HH) and noshed on the taquitos at HH ($10) which were delightful. We also did the salsa trio and all are quite good. For our main, we shared the Ni Tuyo molcajete which was fantastic. I didn't pull my ribeye out quite soon enough (it continues to cook fast in that hot dish!!), but it was like an elevated fajita. I loved the cactus and the green onion in it. There is so much I want to try here, so we will return. read more

Great place for happy hour. They can get super crowded on the weekends so go early. You can't make a rez if you're less than 6 people. Food is always great! Highly rec read more

So confused. Not sure whether to like this place or not. They were short staffed the night we were there so even though there were empty tables there was a wait to balance out the load on the staff that was there. Totally understandable. Our server was nice. Not amazing but not bad either. Are good was nice. Not amazing but not bad either. The prices were not so nice. I ordered the molcajete and was way overpriced for what you get. It made about 5 semi filled tacos for $42. Flavor was good. I don't know folks. Just didn't cut it for me. read more

This was my first time visiting this venue and was recommended by one of my board members. We arrived Sunday as soon as they opened just in case it would have been busy - we didn't feel like waiting- their hours are on Sunday 4:00pm - 8:00pm. The restaurant is really clean but I almost tripped for the crack in the floor panel and when addressing the staff they said oh we have several spaces in the floor that are like that, mind you what's gonna happen if someone trips and falls??? I ordered chicken enchiladas with a side of rice and black beans and since we were the second ones to arrive - the other party sat at the bar... my food should have been hot, as well as my husband's but it wasn't. The waitress didn't say, oh let me take it back, she said I need to talk to the cook. Ok... I then heard her tell the cook about place and she said they would reheat it. . My husband ordered the steak fajitas and with a side of a cheese enchilada and a grilled onion and jalapeño peppers and tortillas. His cheese enchilada was cold but maybe they hadn't thawed the premade meals out but it was very disappointing. For the pricing of the meals you'd desire and expectations would be a little higher but it's so different than a food truck - you want flavor and hot but maybe next time or I might just stick To the wonderful world of food trucks and get fast service at a cheap price with lots of flavor. read more

This place has been on our list to try after seeing it across the street during our many trips to Bonnie Brae ice cream LOL! We ended up getting a table for happy hour and were seated right away, even though they were packed! And rightly so! Their margs are good, and at only $9 during happy hour, that's a steal these days. Chips and salsa along with the tuna tostada were a great starter for the meal. However, the thing to get here is absolutely the molcajetes! Don't be put off by the price point -- it is a solid amount of food that is perfect for sharing. Our group of four got two -- the cielo mar y tierra and the ni tuyo. Basically a surf and turf kind of combo here! We left nothing behind! Tender steak, chicken, shrimp, cheese, nopales, simmered in tomato and tomatillo sauce. Lots of tortillas for dipping. I kind of dream about this meal and can't wait to come back! read more

Another great spot with lots of GF options. My sister lives in the area and we wanted Mexican food so ate here! Loved the menu- it was simple and straightforward. I get lost in large menus so was nice to see a good one with perfect amount of options. I got the red posole which is currently an off-menu special. I have only had posole from my Mexican friends grandma and this was pretty close to hers. It was delicious for sure! My mom also got the green posole, which is a normal menu item, and it was also really good! My brother also enjoyed the mole enchiladas he got. Our server also crushed it. He was perfect at reading the table and knew what we needed at any given time. He also seemed authentic and not "prompted" like a lot of servers these days. Only thing I'd say a bummer about this place is the chips and salsa aren't included free of charge. Overall, loved this place. I am very picky and a critic of Mexican places. This place passed! read more

Very tasty gourmet tacos and an amazing cocktail menu. And their tacos, they're FAT. They double wrap a pile a of meat in a standard, street taco-sized corn tortilla, but everything stays together really well and is pretty easy to eat (just a little messy). My favorite taco was surprisingly the carne asada, it was bursting with flavor. I'm not very enthusiastic about carne asada tacos generally, but theirs is probably one of the best I've had. They don't chop the asada into fine pieces like a normal carne asada taco, they give you a few thick slices instead. I really liked the habanero salsa on their pork belly tacos - very tasty and spicy. The pork belly was a bit dry though. I also really liked the shrimp tacos, very tasty and refreshing. Where we ran into an issue was with the birria tacos. Many of us got the birria tacos and all of us were spitting out chunks of fat. They also give you probably the saddest little bowl of consume you'll probably ever see to go alongside of it. The bowl of consume is so small, you can't even fit the taco in it to dip it in, and the bowl is half full on top of that. A big component of the Ni Tuyo experience is the cocktails. They have a really extensive cocktail menu where everything looks good. The menu is so tempting, it's hard to not try to run the gauntlet. The strength of the drinks I'd say is medium, so you won't need to be carried out of there if you do try a couple. It's very lively spot when it gets busy and the decor on the walls is very nice, which makes for nice ambience. The service is good but could be better. Mainly, I think they're really stingy with the napkins. When my hands were dripping after eating the tacos, I asked for more napkins and they literally just have me a single napkin instead of the pile I required. For a place like this, I also think their appetizer program could be stronger. We did the salsa trio, but only the standard red salsa stood out. And the queso was nothing special. The only other thing that I really saw stand out was the ceviche. Nevertheless, I do see myself returning to try more of their cocktails and give their recommend molcajetes a shot. I don't think you should expect anything you get here to absolutely blow you away, but they do set you up for a nice meal. Also, it's not cheap here so do keep that in mind. read more

If you know good Mexican food, you know that Ni Toyo (along with sister spot Adelitas) is THE place for the best casual Mexican in Denver. As if the excellent food weren't enough, the staff is warm and lovely. (It's family owned and run.) A charming atmosphere, the best Mezcal list in Denver, and an amazingly welcoming approach make this our very favorite spot. (Kid friendly, with great food, and amazing drinks...how can you argue with that?) Right now, I'm especially loving the snapper (order it spicy!), and the elote appetizer too. Don't think twice about giving them a visit, just don't take our table! read more

Wow! One of my new favorite Mexican restaurants in Denver. We got the chips and salsa trio and the Cielo Mar y Tierra molcajete but subbed the tomatoe based sauce for the tomatillo based sauce as recommended by our waitress which was a fantastic choice. You can share the Molcajete with two people. If you come here, you need to get the Molcajete. It seems to be what they're known for and now I know why. The salsas within the trio flight were also flavorful and unique. The tortillas seemed homemade and very fresh. My only complaint is the chips and salsa weren't free like typical Mexican and it was a little pricey for the amount of food you get. But very high quality. That is why I gave it a four star instead of a five. The service was great as was the family-friendly and lively atmosphere. We will be back often! read more

We stopped by for happy hour around 4:30 and were seated right away - but the place was already packed, and for good reason. We started with chips and salsa and the tuna appetizer, both super fresh and flavorful. For mains, the four of us shared two molcajetes - one steak, one seafood - and they were absolutely fantastic. Loaded with flavor, perfectly cooked, and seriously satisfying. The margaritas were so good... well-balanced, and just what you want on a warm evening. They have a great space with indoor and outdoor seating. So darn great. We'll absolutely be back! read more

I've been wanting to try this place for a while now and finally made it here! They do not take reservations so you wait in person for your table to be ready! Luckily, we got in around 8.20 pm on Friday evening which is a bit late for dinner but we got a table instantly. I got the papayita drink which was alright and my husband got the Paloma which was good. Our friend was visiting from India and had never tried mezcal, he tried the mahahali drink and that was really good! For apps we got the elote corn and guacamole - both were freshly made. I personally loved the elote corn. For mains we got the tacos - I loved the pork belly tacos, it was almost like the al pastor but better. Our friend is a vegetarian and got the Rajas which he loved. We also got the veggie enchiladas and the pollo main dish - they were both so well made. Overall, I liked the food here! I am glad we stopped by for dinner here. read more

The food is an amazing. The cielo mar y tierra molcajete is a must try and the margaritas are exceptional.

Came for happy hour and we're literally first ones in parking lot. I will say slightly annoyed that all the people that came after us they sat us all in front section right on top of each other. Why not spread it out a bit?? We started off with happy hour margs, tocalyes and corn. Pictured the corn was on the cob but came off the cob in a bowl. The Tocalyes I had no idea what that was but if I had to explain it's if a tamale and tostada got together and had a baby, the masa was stuffed with beans and then on top chorizo, nopales and other stuff. We next shared a Molcajete the beef, shrimp and chicken in a spicy tomato sauce. I will say the longer you have it on table I feel like the meat gets hotter and spicier. Unfortunately it also starts making beef chewy but shrimp and chicken were nice and tender. They have homemade corn and flour tortillas which is nice. The strawberry margarita was ok not the best - also not the worse. A little over frothy for me for being on the rocks but otherwise the downside is university is a nightmare to get in this lot and once full can be a pain to find parking. read more

Ni Tuyo was a last minute decision to enjoy some happy hour and avoid rush hour! I'm happy that we stopped in to experience this very popular restaurant! I would definitely like to come back to try some different items and the happy hour was enticing enough to draw me back in. My favorite item we tried was the Mariscos Molcajete that we split! It was quite the treat having so much seafood in a rich and delicate white whine sauce! It was a light and airy molcajete and I'm glad we experienced it. I wouldn't order the elote again. I think I was missing a more traditional taste with lime. But, I would be happy to try other appetizers next time. My Moscow mule was beautiful, the margarita was tasty. We all around had a good time, but would love to try different dishes to really drive it home for us. read more

How can I give Ni Tuyo 6 out of 5 stars? If you like Mexican food, you'll want to go here for celebrations and everyday meals. Their tagline is, "Not mine, nor yours. this is a place for everyone." And they live up to it. It is absolutely fresh and delicious, with a wide offering of options. Eating low-carb but want something crunchy? Get. The. Pork Rinds. Gluten and dairy-free? They have that, too. Eating whatever you want? The chips and salsa are a must. It is immaculately clean, and you will feel at home. A big part of that is the staff who makes the place run like the Rolex of Restaurants, and they do it with a smile. Make a reservation or stop in, you owe it to yourself. read more

Ni Tuyo serves up delicious traditional Mexican food in a beautiful, bright setting -- with the best Mezcal selection I've seen in a long time! Ni Tuyo comes from the same family that brought you Denver's long-time favorite Adelita's -- so it's no surprise it's fantastic. With the help of Owner Nathan Ayala-Schmit, I tried mezcals I have never seen -- much less would have thought to order -- and they were some of the best spirits I've ever had. This is a spot I'll for sure come back to again and again! Daily happy hour 4-6pm and 9pm-close (both food & drink specials, including BOGO margaritas). Mezcal Wednesdays feature 1/2 off select mezcals or tequilas. The molcajete is a must-try, and comes in a variety of meat, seafood, or vegetarian options. It's been one of my favorite dishes for a long time, and in case you don't know what it is: it's a traditional Mexican dish served in a hot stone bowl and usually composed of salsa, cheese, onions, cactus, and a variety of meats. Also a must try: the tres leches created with their family recipe. read more

Scrumpdillyicious! After a few days of helping our kids get settled into their Wash Park home, my wife and I were ready for cocktails and a good meal. Thanks to the Yelp community, we found our way to nearby Ni Tuyo. Our gracious server Maria M. quickly delivered margaritas--the first of two rounds--along with a flight of three salsas and heavenly chips. On her recommendation, we split the Ni Tuyo molcajetes, a enormous serving of steak, chicken, sausage, cactus, roasted onions and cheese in a gigantic mortar that kept the food piping hot throughout our entire meal. As much as we ate, we still carried away enough for a substantial midnight snack. Our only regret--no room for dessert! :( read more

All around good restaurant. I had three carne asada tacos. The meat was seasoned and cooked to perfection. Chips and salsa are not free, they are good, but nothing special. I ordered the "flight" which comes with a trio of salsas. All three were very tasty, but once again, nothing special. I would give the chicken tortilla soup a three out of five. A bit hardier than I'm used to with chicken tortilla soup, and I was not ecstatic about the flavor. Some will love this soup. I prefer a less dense broth. Service was very friendly, but my entree took a long time to come out. All in all I enjoyed my meal. read more

There's something so dramatic about a molcajete arriving bubbling hot on your table, and even better is when the meal actually tastes just as good as it looks. The dish is easily shareable by 2 to 3 people, so while it may be a pricier item on the menu, the size justifies the spend. The giant shrimp were cooked perfectly, and the sauce was delicious. If you are someone who likes a little bit of everything, I can't recommend a better dish on this menu. To share, we also got some chips, the salsa trio, and guacamole. The guacamole was fine, but none of the salsas were notable, they are just ok. To drink, I had a mezcalrita which I didn't really care for. It could have used a lot more citrus and it tasted a bit diluted. I had a sip of my partner's Oaxacan Old Fashioned though which was really tasty. This restaurant is located in a less central/commercial area of Denver so it's really easy to park and get seated walking in without a reservation. There was plenty of covered patio seating which was great to enjoy the weather, and the street isn't too loud. Our server was sweet and service was fast, even though we came on a weekend for dinner. read more

This place was a great find! I saw it on TikTok and decided to check it out. Let me start off by saying the service was amazing. Our waitress Adriana made us feel right at home. She was kind, friendly, and made us feel super comfortable asking questions and was so nice about splitting the bill. The restaurant itself was not too loud and it was very spacious. The food was delicious! I got a shrimp, carne asada and birria taco! While the birria wasn't like the birria I'm used to, it still tasted great! My favorite was definitely the shrimp though! They were cooked perfectly and not dry/rubbery! Parking was a little tough. There is a parking lot but it was busy when we showed up. The intersection there makes it a little tricky to be able to loop around, but the sides streets did have plenty of parking when we showed up at 6:50PM. It immediately filled up after that. We will definitely add this place to our rotation for dinners! Thank you, Adriana for being so great! Hope to see you again! read more

I was in Denver for an agency corporate meeting and the team was going to dinner. Mexican? Could there possibly be any better place than Las Vegas? I was suspect. The store is upscale and the bar was a buzz at 5:00pm on a Wednesday. Our group of eight people were seated right away. Three of us shared the Ni Tuyo Molcajete. A bubbling hot bowl of Ribeye steak, chicken, shrimps, longaniza, roasted tomatillo sauce, cactus, roasted onions, panela cheese, and corn (our choice) tortillas on the side. It was delicious! Our server offered us more sauce and tortillas. It was just enough for the three of us. We decided to share a slice of tres leches. The sponge cake soaked in three kinds of milk: evaporated milk, condensed milk, and whole milk. Garnished with a strawberry and blueberries on the side. Two of us dived in and left little for the rest of our crew. Haha! You lag you lose. A fine dinner! read more

Was really looking forward to enjoying a girls night out with a friend and drinking a delicious margarita. Well the company was good but the marg tasted watered down. Our waitress seemed great and understood we wanted so time to chat/catch up so she informed us if we were ordering tacos they would come out fast so enjoy the drinks and app and take your time ordering. We appreciated the tip but also felt like she was trying g to go sell without being clear. We ordered the chips and salsa trio and she ask "queso or guacamole" so we understood it as included not if we also whited queso or guacamole. When she brought the queso we asked again and she clarified that is was extra. She we refused it because it was large and we didn't need it and we felt taken advantage of. The salsa trio was good. We ordered 2 tacos each which are very small tacos. I ordered 1 shrimp abs 1 beef taco which was perfect for me but we both felt that for $7 you would get at least 3 shrimp in the taco - it came with 2 small shrimp. Then it took forever to get out check. We tried waving people down and eventually were able to get out waitress. I had high hopes for this place but it was a real let down. read more

We came back here on a recent Saturday evening at about 5 PM. The place was completely packed and we were told we'd have to wait for a table. It just kept getting more crowded. I think the happy hour had the effect of pulling people in between 4 PM to 6 PM. We loved the frijoles charros and shared a Cielo, mar y tierra molcajete that was fabulous. We also tried queso fresco enchiladas. Everything was wonderful. Ambience: Even though people were shoulder to shoulder at the entrance with as many as 30 people waiting for a table, we got a table sooner than expected and had good service from Elizabeth. There are a lot of different margaritas, but we found the house Margarita was actually the best, even though it wasn't as expensive as some of the others. read more

Ni Tuyo - Tres Leches - Tacos Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Food: Extraordinary! We started off with the queso fundito, chips + salsa flight, and tlacoyos. The queso was mmm so delicious. It was so cheesy and stringy, and had excellent flavor. The poblano peppers added a little flare. The chips + salsa, chips were good, and there were 3 salsas. I'm going to explain by colors, so there was red, yellow, and green. The green was ok, reminded me of a smoothie but an extremely healthy smoothie. It was a little strange, and was not my favorite. Did not go back for it after the first dip. The red one was so delicious though it was a very classic salsa but very good, and very good flavors. Went back a few more times after the first one! The yellow salsa though, THAT WAS ON A WHOLE NEW LEVEL, it was such a unique flavor, that I haven't tasted before in a salsa. It was so unique I can't really describe the flavor profiles!! I got 4 tacos for my main entree, the asade, chicken tinga, birria, and pork belly. The birria was ok, it's usually my favorite but it wasn't this time!! I think it was my least favorite out of the bunch. My 3rd favorite was the chicken tinga, it was good nothing too crazy, but an excellent taco to eat if your mouth is blown up in flames from other spicy things. My 2nd favorite was the pork belly, very good flavors, however, extremely spicy!! My mouth was ON FIRE haha. My favorite was the asada one. There were two thick pieces of steak which were delicious and unique. I have never ever had an asada taco with thick pieces, but I LOVED IT. The texture was good too, sometimes when it's thick pieces it can get all tough and chewy, but this was not, it was not super chewy and definitely not tough. The seasoning was amazing too. I cannot remember which one was the pork belly and birria, but whichever one was the pineapple I liked it. The beans were good, had a good flavor! The rice was also excellent, it was such a light and fluffy texture, and with the corn mixed in it was pure bliss! Also, I usually don't mention what other people got, but I love mole, and my mom got the mole, and that was MINDBLOWING. The chicken was amazing, amazing spices. It was also not very spicy, which I like. Ambience: Awesome! I loved it. I liked the music and the interior. Was very busy, which makes sense considering the quality of the food. Service: Great!! Our server was nice, and helped us when we had questions about items on the menu. The person who greeted us at the booth was also very nice and enthusiastic. Overall: Amazing, would come back for sure, love the food, vibe, and people!! P.S: We drove 50 minutes and it was more than enough worth the drive. Would be worth the drive when we come back again! read more
