Great venue, felt like I was on vacation in California haha. The food is fantastic. I got the mission bay big burrito bowl with tilapia and extra grilled veggies 10/10 read more

STOP THE DECEPTION!!! You have a good quality product but this bull $hit! at the bottom of the menu embodies the classic trend of "junk fees." For those of you who have not noticed, the bottom of the menu has box that states, "Rather than raise menu prices, we add a 6% kitchen fee to your check. This fee is then distributed to our hardworking culinary staff who do not participate in gratuities. As always, we are grateful for your patronage and generosity." Just price your food and treat your kitchen with the respect they deserve. We will all still support your restaurant but will all feel less duped. The food flavors ARE well balanced and thoughtfully created. However, without a say in the mandatory 6% add-on fee, the kitchen should then be held accountable for executing the dishes with precision. Nearly all of our hot food was delivered NOT HOT. The fish dishes contained an unacceptable amount of pin bones and, while the flavor is so well imagined in your house-made guacamole, can you slow down for a second and actually make SOME EFFORT to break up the large chucks of avocado? I have done culinary workshops at elementary schools with superior execution of food preparation. Service is attentive, even during the peak dinner rush. During the summer months, when the patio is open, the staff impressively never fails to maintain the same level of attention to the patio guest as the main dining areas. We only hit one hiccup theme with out servers in the last five visits with friends to North County, at that has been that the staff seem oblivious, or poorly versed, in the daily specials and how to charge for them. For example, I should not have to remind you that your Saturday burger BOGO50 special, EACH WEEK, should be reflected on the final bill. The beauty of eating in the other "North County" (Northern California's Petaluma, Napa, Sonoma... ) is the simplicity and freshness of the food. If I may, the "honesty" of the dish. Your SoCal version is lazy. To call yourselves "North County" and infuse this distasteful kitchen fee is anything but honest. If you want honest, how about going the complete opposite way and eliminate all fees altogether, and just price your product where you and the public can meet. read more

Amazing food, amazing service, but... AGAIN a Denver restaurant requiring an absurd "service fee" for back of house of 6% with no signage. Sorry, but it's silly. I'm not ok with 1-2%, but I let that go. 6% is coming out of your servers' tips (now doing 14%) because you chose to not pay your employees more and assume the customer will cover. If you want to require a 20%, or a 6% fee, put a notice up so consumers can decide. Your neighbors Lowry beer garden include 20%, but at least they let customers know. Will come back, but will continue to "tip" 14%. read more

We had never been here despite living close to it. The service was excellent. We got a table quickly early on a Friday night. The portion sizes are huge. I had the California burrito which was so tasty. I can't wait to have it again. My husband has the taco plate and was excited to have taco options that included seafood. My daughter loved her kids burger and ice cream. We will definitely dine here again soon. The restaurant is really loud so keep that in mind if you're thinking about ambience. read more

The quesabirria tacos are the best we have had! The chicken tinga were also noteworthy. Chips with salsa and guacamole are $10, which may be an area norm. It they were good. Grab a table on the patio and check out the brunch specials and pitchers of drinks. There was a $20 margarita pitcher special that looked good. read more

We got there just at Happy Hour around 3pm on a Sunday so was nice to see we could save a few dollars on the items on the regular menu I like anyway. I was excited to try oysters but they were not as good as I have had them before and the Elote I got was Burt on one side which they covered with the sauce. So unfortunately got to knock a couple of Stars off The California burrito was actually really good so I do recommend that and the margarita with the shaker was a nice touch. I also ordered the shrimp taco but was so over loaded that it was hard to eat with your hands as everything kept falling off so I had to use a knife and fork to get things in one bite. All in all a good place but not itching to come back read more

North County is one of those places I'll always come back to, even though I no longer live on that side of town. It's charming, tasty, and the service has always been excellent for me. We went in for Saturday brunch and were seated immediately. To be fair, we went when they opened at 10am. It didn't fill up completely by the time we were done, but there were a few larger groups and the bar had a handful of people. I love the Southern California vibe. The menu reflects SoCal's north county charm. I had the Huevos Rancheros, a mimosa with freshly squeezed juice, and shared the tres leches French toast. I'm not much of a Huevos Rancheros gal, but it came highly recommended by our server so I gave it a chance. I wanted to lick the plate after I was done, it was so good!! The tres leches French toast was also yummy. It could've used a touch more sauce, but it was still delicious. All in all, excellent untapped spot for a weekend brunch. read more

Ooohh our first time enjoying the fun little spot great hand/house made adult soda with pineapple and jalapeños enjoyed fully. So refreshing on a hot day. We sat close to the open kitchen but were not bothered by the noise. I had the ahi tuna and husband had a burger, both done as desired. Service was outstanding and our favorite manger was there too. read more

Always a fun place to hang out with good food, good service, and a good happy hour menu.

We came here for dinner the other night with friends, and were very happy with our meal. We started with the watermelon salad, which was fresh and had a nice zing to it. We also shared chips and guac, which was good. I had fish tacos, which were delicious and filling, with a fresh, fruity salsa and cabbage slaw on top. I was also a big fan of the strawberry lemonade, which I did my best to drink slowly. You will want to suck the whole glass down! We somehow found just enough room in our tummies to finish the meal with churros, which was a nice, sugary note to end on. Service was prompt and friendly, and the bathrooms were clean. read more

I have frequented this spot for many years. The happy hour is out of this world. If you want some true authentic fish tacos and seafood alike, this is your spot. Trust me, you won't be disappointed. The patio in the summer is incredible. The bar is equally great. Service is amazing. read more

We loved North County so much we came back again and quickly. Somehow I missed a picture of the Ahi Tina Guacamole again but consistency was there and was so delicious I'd order it as an entree in the future. We tried additional tacos this time including grilled fish, filet mignon and both blackened and beer battered shrimp. I think my favorite is still the beer battered fish tacos but all were still very good. We sat inside this time and it feels like such a welcoming neighborhood spot. There are lots of kids with parents or families and many folks enjoying happy hour. I could see this place becoming our "cheers" if we lived in the neighborhood. Again, we look forward to coming back to North County! read more

If you've seen Maverick and loved it you need to visit this restaurant. As soon as I walked in the bar and decor reminded me instantly of the movie. The staff was very knowledgeable of the menu but they are a little short staffed so be patient and enjoy their amazing margs! Truly I think they're my favorite in town. The chips are light and crispy and go well with everything. The fish tacos so good and I loved that they gave me a battered version and a grilled one, both were delicious. I can't wait to try their other dishes! read more

Have gone to North County for both breakfast/brunch and happy hour & dinner. Love their wait staff; always helpful but especially grateful to their evening manager who helped provide veggies to needy families at a nearby early childcare center (from that grown on the premises)! Will always come for a relaxing evening! Only additionally nice touch would be guitar or soothing instrumental music! Even if just for Thursday evenings! read more

So disappointed in this place. We came in with high hopes. Its next to the air and space museum and had a cool vibe when you walk in. We were greeted by really friendly hosts who quickly cleaned a table off for us before seating. My main complaint is towards the food and the price vs portion. *Taco Plate w Cauliflower and Grilled Vegetable tacos. Three tiny tacos w some small fixings for $18! The grilled veg tacos were okay, but the cauliflower tacos were barely edible. There was a garlic aioli piled so high onto the tortilla which paired horribly with light and fresh cauliflower and kale. This was just a bad choice. Couldn't eat it unfortunately. *Guajillo Caesar Salad was fine. The croutons were BOMB but it came w 2 little slivers of avocado and the smallest drizzle of dressing. I took it down quick cuz I was starving but I should've probably asked for more dressing. Mostly dry. *Tortilla Soup was good not great. The paper medicine cups for the toppings were a strange, strange move.. *Al Pastor taco was super tough meat and oddly sweet. *Original Spicy Marg isn't spicy at all, but a good marg. *House Made Paloma Bottle: FIRE 10/10 I'm hoping they had some specialty dishes that may have been better than what we got? There were just way more cons than pros here. Vibes and service were good but we definitely won't be back unfortunately. read more

North County - Mexican Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Walked In at 8:05 and we were turned away because they had just called last call for the kitchen. The gentlemen said they were too slow to keep the kitchen open. We went right at 8 with the intention of getting drinks and late night happy hour among other things. Not the best way to increase your kitchen sales. Loved this place before but likely not going back after getting treated that way. Plenty of other businesses to frequent that want your business in this neighborhood. Not to mention there were probably 20+ people in there eating and drinking already read more

Ate here for the first time today and will definitely be back. Great vibe, nice outdoor seating area, and a good Mexican influenced menu. I had a selection of the fish tacos - beer battered and grilled, fish and shrimp - excellent. My fellow diners had the tortilla soup, steak tacos and chicken enchiladas. All also very good. Service was friendly and attentive. read more

So I was at North County a few weeks ago. I stopped going because I was not happy with management and they let go an amazing bartender/server. But I told myself give it another try. I was so displeased with the GM Dan that I refuse to go there ever again. He was so rude, unprofessional and disrespectful!! I could overhear him talking negatively about his staff. I thought my server was amazing and he kept telling others he did not like working with them!! read more

North County - Margaritas and tequila shots! - Mexican Near Me - Denver, Colorado

I did a takeout order from here today and ordered the California burrito and the Ahi Tuna starter. I did modify the burrito, removing the nacho cheese inside and removing the smother of green chili. This may be one of the best cooked California burritos I've ever had. The carne asada was still tender and I was able to bite right into it. It wasn't chewy at all! I could have used a few more French fries in there, but this burrito is worth bragging about. The ahi tuna ceviche was very refreshing! I loved the fresh jicama to dig in with and squeezing the fresh lime on the order was perfect. I will absolutely be back! read more

This place used to be good. Service is terrible. The chips were so old and greasy. Margarita was undrinkable. We won't be going back.

This place used to be great. The staff is awesome and attentive, but management changed recently, and I still don't understand why. The previous general manager, Rachel, was engaging and made a fun environment for us to dine and her staff to work. Now, it is not the same, and the management doesn't assist the staff like she did, which made it a smooth dining experience. It's sad that my favorite bartenders are being shifted out, and I can't count on who I will be served by. Sad, but fact. read more

North County - Mexican Near Me - Denver, Colorado

I've been here a few times, I've noticed it's become more of a self-service establishment as opposed to the last time we were there. Upon arrival we were told we can sit anywhere it's open. There were already cups and a carafe of water at the table for us to pour ourselves. No ice offered even though it's hot in the patio. The waitress welcomed us and said there's a QR code to scan to place our order. We did that without an issue. Minutes later the food came out. We ate. We were asked in passing if everything was fine, it was. When we were done we sat there until we realized we can scan the QR code to pay for our meal. The checkout had an automatic 20% gratuity. I honestly feel like there was hardly any service to be given a tip. Another reviewer mentioned there was a service fee added to be split among the kitchen staff, there was no mention of this on the menu, by the waitress, no sign that I've seen, or even on the online ordering menu. I didn't even notice. With all the taxes, service fee and the societal normal 20% tip. A $50 meal would cost the consumer $70. Absolutely ridiculous. 2/5 on the food: Food was ok but overpriced. $16 for 3 tacos and the toppings is on a single corn tortilla that tore in half on the 2nd bite. Overall I think the change where it's more towards a self-service establishment by the owners was a terrible move. It may be cost effective for them but takes away from North County being considered a restaurant. 0/5 stars overall because the value for what the average consumer pays here is not worth it. read more

I really like this place. Try their home made flavored alcohol, they are excellent! They have good food and the service staffs are great too! read more

Was in the area for a tournament and found this plAce on Yelp and decided to check it out. How I have never driven through the Lowry area is a mystery. What a great location for this place. When we walked in it was a little awkward. Their entryway is small and there were people just standing there chatting. There wasn't a hostess or even a sign asking you to wait or seat yourself. When we finally got a table, our waitress brought us water instantly and asked what we would like to drink. We didn't even get a chance to review the menu first. By this time business picked up. It wasn't super busy but filling up. As a result, our waitress didn't come back to get our drink order for a long time. We ended up ordering our drinks and food together. I honestly have never waited so long for a drink to come. It practically came with our food. Thankfully, the food and margaritas were tasty, I'd come again, but they really need to step up their service. The staff were all polite but not prompt or personable. read more

Interesting, on the happy hour menu they have a shot of tequila and a Tecate .The tequila is labeled as Jose Cuervo traditional Silver . Well, as I was seated at the bar, the bartender who is making all the drinks picked up a bottle of tequila that was not Jose Cuervo traditional Silver! She shook it with ice, poured in shot glass put it with a receipt on the bar for the bartender to deliver ... it became my shot.. so needless to say I did not get my Jose Cuervo traditional Silver tequila... mmmm interesting North County... read more

Let me start by saying North County is a great restaurant! It's tucked away in Lowry and has quickly became one of our go to spots worth the 35 minute drive. The ambiance is all about the beach, they have beach wallpaper, and surfboards all over and it transports you to the beach in California. The service is always great, they have been extremely busy each time we have visited and they still sat us immediately. The staff are extremely friendly and accommodating, especially on this visit we sat on the patio and it started to rain and we didn't have any cover over us and we had our 8 month old son. They cleaned the table next to us that was under an umbrella and let us sit there so our son wouldn't get wet. The food has been delicious every time we have gone and each time we have tried something different. We started off with the queso fundido which is our favorite appetizer when we come, we love that you get homemade chips and tortillas to eat with it. This visit I went with the California burrito, let me say this thing was massive! The flavor was great and the carné asada inside was cooked perfectly. The green chili wasn't spicy at all which I was bummed about because I love heat but it still had good flavor. I also ordered the piña picante house soda which was delicious and had a nice little kick of alcohol that you couldn't taste but could definitely feel towards the end of the meal. My wife ordered the fish and chips, any time she sees fish and chips on the menu she has to try them they are one of her favorite things to order. She liked them and said they were cooked perfectly, her only complaint was they were a little small for the fish but were very generous with the fries. The fries we delicious and were extra crispy but soft on the inside with great seasoning. My wife also ordered the cantarito which is her favorite drink at this restaurant, definitely a must try! This restaurant is a must if you are a foodie in Colorado or even if you are here for a visit! We are always excited to visit again and try another new item on the menu. read more

We've come here a couple times this was a more disappointing visit. Their outdoor space is spacious. On this visit the roasted vegetable medley on the enchiladas was a huge pile of mushrooms peppers and corn not my favorite and wish the menu would've spelled that out.

We went there for "late night happy hour" and were excited by the options. Ordered off the late night menu and enjoyed it all. Surprised by the bill that was full price items. When I asked the server, he stated that he didn't know we wanted those items and margs. We would have ordered in a different way if needed but the late night menu items are the same names/items as regular menu. Confusing that he didn't want to inform us. Spent double what we planned and disappointed read more

Made my first trip to North County today. It's always been on my list to check out for tacos. But did you know they have brunch?!? Neither did I and apparently neither does the public because it was essentially empty at 10am. My girlfriend had juevos rancheros and I had the breakfast tacos. Both were fantastic and delicious. I've never moaned while eating breakfast tacos, but I did today. Bloody marys were great and she had a mango tequila drink. Adding this to our brunch rotation effective immediately. read more

North County - Cali salad was too good! - Mexican Near Me - Denver, Colorado

We haven't been here in about a year, so decided to give it another try. They had 1 server working who was doing his best to accommodate a decent lunch crowd on a holiday. Unfortunately, we were quickly reminded why we stopped coming here... the quality of food has significantly declined, and the margarita was terrible. As many have mentioned, it's also become extremely overpriced, with a 6% kitchen fee added to your order. We ordered a small plate of nachos, the chicken enchiladas (that looked like they were smothered in mozzarella cheese), and 1 margarita, which cost $60 and took an hour and a half. I really hope they make some significant improvements to turn this restaurant back around. read more

Our first visit to North County was on a perfect patio day. The queso fundido was aaaamazing! Kind of a large serving for 2 people but who would complain about that? They're fresh chips we're perfectly crispy and not greasy. The grapefruit margarita was magical! Fresh squeezed grapefruit and lime juices with a tajin rim. No sweet and sour or triple sec to make it too sweet and give you heartburn later. I highly suggest you give it a try. Now on to the food... we went with tacos and they did not disappoint. The Al Pastor, which is their house taco, has the perfect marriage of shredded pork and pineapple. It was the stand out! The charcoal grilled shrimp and fried shrimp were good as well. My husband said the spicy chorizo and potato taco was f*cking delicious! We can't wait to go back and try the enchiladas. Luis was our server and he was very attentive. Great service over all! read more

I love this place for their cheap taco happy hour deals, $3 select tacos and empanadas (plus more for cheap prices). I normally don't like seafood tacos but I got the rock lobster which was crunchy and delicious and the el pastor tacos had the perfect balance of savory with a sweet touch form the charred pineapple. I also got the chicken empanadas, which was good but was missing a bit of flavor (or maybe some cheese inside ). They know how to make a great and strong margarita. Happy hour prices are $6 for original and $ for strawberry margaritas. I'm not sure if this applies to the full restaurant but it will if you sit at the bar. Bar staff were friendly and were able fully describe and recommend menu items instead of just saying everything is good when asked. read more
