I'm pretty excited about this new addition to the Lowry area! I was fortunate to spend some time here for their soft opening and try some of their delicious food! My dining companion and I sat at the bar and were acknowledged right away by one of the bartenders. He introduced himself and told us about the menu and what the specialties were. He raved about the tacos so I took his word on it. Now, they have a few taco options, all of which you can mix and match to create your own little flight of tacos. I decided to order the Swai fish tacos, the "dirty rajas" tacos, and I also ordered their "build your own" chicken tortilla soup. I tried the soup first. They bring it out with all the toppings on the side. They include jalapenos, green onions, cheese, tortilla strips, and cilantro. I decided to add them all for a delicious, hearty soup. I seriously think you can make a meal out of the larger size. It was time to test out the tacos! The Swai fish tacos were AMAZING! They were cooked perfectly and had amazing flavor. They were topped with a delicious slaw and and fruity, chunky salsa that tied all the flavors together. The "dirty rajas" taco was a really yummy vegetarian option. The tortillas were fresh and perfect, and I believe they are made in house. The space itself is a little on the smaller side, but they have a huge heated patio and a large bar area that is gorgeous. Did I mention they have 100 different tequilas and you can even order a tequila flight to try them out? They also have a great drink list that I did not order from this time around, but trust me, I'll get to it one of these days soon! The service was friendly and knowledgeable and the manager was walking around introducing himself to the guests. North County, I will return to you and hopefully very soon now that you are officially open! read more

Awesomely creative menu that tastes equally amazing. The salsas are good and so is the chargrilled oysters. Then the tacos are something else. I can't wait to go back!!!! read more

Food is amazing, prices reasonable and service superb. This is more than just a neighborhood place. Sneak away from the other Denver taco joints and treat yourself to the REAL taste of Baja. Just don't all come at once, there is already a wait. Nothing the beer garden next door can't distract you from. They'll call you when your table is ready...so chill, it's worth it! read more

I'm a fish taco snob. The baja tacos were exactly how I like them. Perfectly presented on a taco stand. The fish was battered and fried expertly. The slaw, toppings and tortilla were all proportionate to compliment the fish. House margs and a few craft beers options were good. The outdoor "living room" patio area did have that San Diego feel. The house salsa reminded me of the taquerias I lived near in CA. Looking forward to getting back for more tacos. read more

Went for dinner last night and we were pleased with the happy hour menu. All wines included in happy hour pricing, not just the lower tier. Plus! Had the 1/2 # peel and eat shrimp, served on ice just like it is on highway 101. Another plus! Wasn't too hungry after the shrimp so I just had one taco and decided on the rock lobster. Nailed it. He had a breakfast burrito. For dinner. 'Cause this place takes you somewhere along the coast between Carlsbad and Encinitas, so he could. Then we remembered, we're still in Denver because the sunset was over the mountains instead of the Pacific. We've got a new happy place and life is good! read more

This is our go-to when we are in the neighborhood taking in a concert at The Soiled Dove Underground. The margaritas are the best in town. My fave is the grapefruit margarita, have also had the original & it is very good & fresh. My husband's go-to is the pork green chilies huevos rancheros, absolutely delicious. I switch it up a bit & will order a couple different tacos. The short rib taco is not to be missed, very special. All are amazing. Don't forget to start out with the peel & eat shrimp - their cocktail sauce is to die for. Service has always been impeccable - even when very busy. Sitting at the bar is a great alternative to waiting for a table. Manager is very friendly & attentive. read more

Loved it! The service was excellent, our guy very knowledgeable about the food and the restaurant. The space is gorgeous, and they have A LOT of good tequila in stock. Prices so reasonable. I had the Cocktail ( like gazpacho) it was fabulous. Fresh chunks of perfectly ripe avocados, onions, cilantro and something with a nice spice to it. All fresh and the base didn't overpower anything. I added octopus and oysters. Filling but light. Going back next for the Tacos! Monday is all day happy hour! read more

Great restaurant. I usually head here on Sundays with my girlfriend. Their Bloody Mary's are great. It's mainly about the atmosphere for us. I've definitely noticed that certain people continue to complain about the service. We've never had a bad experience, and for some people; nothing is good enough. read more

Just ate there tonight and it was amazing! It was my first time there and I had a happy hour margarita and a Rock Lobster Taco and the Mole Braised Short Rib Taco with chips salsa and guacamole! Omg sooooooo good! The Rock Lobster Taco is only $2 for HAPPY hour and it was amazing that I had to order another one once I was done. The staff was super friendly and attentive too! Super on top of their game! The owner or manager even came by and touched our table to make sure everything was okay, which speaks volumes to me! I will definitely come back here and will bring everyone I know. The vibe was great, the food came super fast, the waiter was present and nice... what more can you ask for?! Plus I'm from San Diego so I love the SO Cal vibe and background! This is a must eat at! read more

The North County Enchiladas blew my socks off. Best enchilada I've ever had. Wow. Chips and salsa were perfect.

My friend and I decided to come here just because of the proximity to the Beer Garden, we shared three plates which included tacos Baja style, the cornbread skillet, and the crab cakes Benedict. The tacos were just like the one that I've had in Baja California Mexico, the toppings were superb. The or bread skillet was beyond phenomenal, the co bread was so moist and the sauce in that shrimp was creamy. I would really recommend going for brunch and hopefully you will enjoy it as much as we did. David was our waiter and he is excellent! read more

Just went here for lunch today and had a great experience. It is amazing there are so many high end restaurants opening in Lowry, it feels like this place is something you would find in Cherry Creek. The ambiance is nice, and I love the open floor plan and big windows. The food is delicious. I can't believe that they fly in fresh fish every day. Definitely a great place for lunch. I look forward to going back for happy hour. read more

We have never had a bad meal here! The food is always excellent, the service is prompt and courteous, and the cocktails well-executed. Bravo! Thank you North County for being so consistently terrific! read more

What a great evening. For me a great meal starts with great service, and Jessica behind the bar was awesome. As soon as I sat at the bar I was greeted with a smile and a glass of water. I was informed it was Taco Tuesday and they have happy hour all day and $1 off all tacos. I wasn't very hungry so I started with Jessica's 2 recommendations of the "Da Baby El Pastor" and Carne Asada. Neither one disappointed. The grilled pineapple chunks in the El Pastor were amazing, topped with a little of their house made red salsa, it was the perfect combination of sweet and spicy. The carne asada came with a chipotle cream I could drink straight and the pickled red onion gave the taco the perfect amount of tang. I liked the carne asada so much that I decided to order a 2nd one along with a "Spicy Chorizo and Potato". Just as good as the first round. I should have stopped there but after I was told they make their tortillas in house I had to have one more round. I had a delicious strawberry margarita that wasn't too sweet and a couple of very fair priced reposados. Overall an excellent evening. Wasn't expecting it on a Tuesday night. read more

See all

Great place......food was awesome, service great and the tequila selection is up to anyone's standards I promise. Give it a go......call about 30 minutes in advance and leave your name. Sit outside if you can. read more

The best tacos I've ever had hands down. My fiancé ordered a grapefruit margarita and a hamburger, and both were excellent. I had a duck taco which was good and a crispy fish taco which was probably the best crispy fish taco I've ever had. We also ordered nachos for an appetizer. The chips are home made and extremely thick, and they stand up to all the toppings well. I will definitely be going back. Kind of pricey though! read more

This place is awesome. The atmosphere and staff are great. the food is right out of Southern California. Fresh fish daily. Great happy hour!

Great location and atmosphere but the food is too trendy. Of the 4 people in our party, none liked the food. Take caution when you order a "coke" - another bait and switch restaurant. You get Boylan... Sorry, not a good substitute! read more

This place is rocking! 5 Stars for Service, 5 for Ambiance and 4 for Food I've been here twice now and both times the staff has been fantastic! Our waitress from the first visit was the bartender the second time around and was seamless in her transition. She was knowledgeable about both the food menu and the killer drink menu. She also informed us of their happy hour (which they have 2 of). The staffing duties seem to be shared with other members of the staff running food and clearing dishes. Despite this, we never seemed to be lost in the shuffle as that sometimes happens with this set-ups. The decor is comfortable and welcoming. Both the bar seating and booth seating was very comfortable. There is a skylight above the bar, which is right in the middle of the restaurant. There is a nice patio (has yet to be open due to the weather) that appears to have retractable awnings. The food here is described as "Baja Inspired" and I would agree with that. It definitely brings a feel of San Diego with it. They offer a wide range of tacos that can please meat eaters, pescetarians and vegetarians alike. Their beer battered Swai seems to be their 'house fish' and is delicious. They offer a selection of fresh water and salt water fish. We were informed that only the Swai can currently be battered. So far, the selection has been somewhat unimpressive and honestly the Swai has been the best tasting so far. The breading is light and flavorful, not tasting just of flour. The pastor taco was great as well along with the vegetarian 'dirty rajas'. All the tacos are topped with condiments. The salsa selection is tasty and the chips have always been fresh and warm. The drink selection is creative and delicious. Their 'adult sodas' are flavorful and pack a punch especially for being bottled in Coronita bottles. The 'Sunrise' and the 'Palmoa' are worth a try. The tap selection should suit most beer drinkers and the Tequila selection is expansive to say the least. This is by far the first restaurant in Lowry in 10+ years that has made me want to venture into this neighborhood on a regular basis. I look forward to seeing how the seafood selection evolves and will be checking this place out for brunch! read more

This is my favorite place in Denver right now. Great peal and eat shrimp appetizer, alcoholic sodas and a full menu of San Diego style surf food. I had a fish po boy sandwitch that was delicious last time I was there. read more

Loved the carne asana fries to start with. The sauces worked well with what we ordered. I had a breakfast burrito for dinner. It was awesome. The green chili it was smothered with was good also. We also had chorizo and potato tacos.those were also really good. The fresh desert choices were great too. I'll be back. read more

North County - Mexican Near Me - Denver, Colorado

I love this place soo much ! The food is amazing , the staff is great! My mondays and Wednesday's are def saved for North Couty. Chicken empanadas & tacos el pastor are AMAZING!!!!! I wish I could give it 10+ stars ! read more

Overall happy with our options enchilada, bowl, fish and chorizo tacos, the atmosphere on the patio is wonderful not too loud.

This place is a can't miss. It seems like you're going to get some standard fare but they just know how to elevate it. The nachos, you haven't had nachos like this. The fries and steak with green pork chili , enough said. The mole brisket taco, yes. The duck confit taco, of course. I had some of their seasonal oyster choice, what an amazing sweet oyster. Are you getting the gist, this place just hits it out of the park all the time. Not to mention the numerous tequila choices, I don't really drink anymore so I'll refrain from talking about cocktails but they look great. I highly recommend North County!! read more

Stopped in here for a late dinner and was very pleased with the food, atmosphere and service. Despite stopping in less than an hour before they closed, we were greeted and served quickly and politely. The menu is very San Diego Mexican (which is precisely what the proprietors intended) including some classic options with some cool twists, Duck confit quesadilla's for example. This made the menu very interesting and diverse. The tequila selection was also amazing including many classics and many that I had never heard of. All our food was out quickly and tasted great! Really loved the oysters we had, as well as the duck confit quesadilla as previously mentioned. The portion sizes were great, and there were some leftovers to take home. Another great spot to stop at in Lowry! read more

Awesome food inspired by Baja California and the San Diego area. Fish tacos are seasonal each day, and I tried the snapper. Delicious, but their mango-habenero salsa is not lying about the habenero. The mole short rib taco didn't quite have the sweet smokiness that I expect from mole anything, but it was good. The duck confit taco was awesome. Crispy and rich like duck should be. Hit it with some lime and their tomatillo salsa and yum! They bottle their own tequila based sodas. I had the Paloma - grapefruit, sour. The sweetest berry is amazing. Service was attentive. Can't wait to try out their patio in the summer. This place is right across from my gym. Can't want to undo my good work. read more

Typical kind of trendy Lowry bar restaurant. Food is expensive for what you get and drinks are overpriced as well. It is a nice set up and the service was really good but just to yuppie for myself. If you live in the area than I'm sure you will enjoy this place and fit right in. Tacos are tasty and adult sodas are decent. read more

What's better then spending the evening having drinks on the patio with a friend? Having some of North County's tacos and drinks on the patio with a friend. Their fresh made tacos are the best I have had since my trip to San Diego last year. I had the pastor, tinga and brisket tacos, and all 3 were amazing. I will definitely come back with my husband to try more! read more

I actually come here often. There atmosphere and margaritas are great!!! I also love their happy hour and brunch! Guacamole is always fresh! Def recommend! read more

Be careful with this place. They overcharged me,instead of tip what I left they put another amount. I found out it couple days later after I checked my transactions. I called and speak to the manager who didn't apologize and I didn't get my money back. read more

Place was solid. Having gone to college in San Diego and recently buying a house in the Lowry area, my wife and I were so excited to find some SoCal style cuisine. Margaritas are great, beer selection is all out of California as well as the majority of their wine selection. Great to have a new spot like this in Lowry! read more

I have to knock these guys down a cpl. I understand the selection of resturants in the immediate area is limited and the yuppie crowd doesnt like to travel but to give this restaurant 4 stars is a travesty. Food is ok, interesting combination of tacos but not done very well. Tried most of them, they were very very small and super expensive. I don't mind expensive at all if is done well, this was not the case. Meat was all overcooked and dry for the most part. Was especially disappointed with there "el" pastor taco don't understand the hype. I can find better on almost any corner in denver. The alcoholic sodas are good and so are the happy hour clams, still quit expensive though. 35$ spent before tip during tue which is 1$ of tacos day and left hungry read more

Your review helps others learn about great local businesses.Back in Lowry last week to give North County a shot, pretty tasty. Drinks were good, pricy, but I guess if you use fresh ingredients they cost. Food was good, tasted very fresh and great layers of flavor Service was overall spotty, at best. Slow and not very knowledgable. Manager Ian I beleive was not a help, tossing his staff under the bus to explain the miscues. Seems like a training of staff or hiring issue, or lack of training. Location is very easy for parking and also surrounded by other great dining options. I'll be back, just another example of how poor staffs are in this ever expanding dining market. read more

I take my wife almost every Thursday for date night. The staff the management and the owner treat you the same kind and like your family they truly know how to get me to come back. To me the food is almost five star the peel and eat shrimp the grilled oyster out of this world. Then the tacos oh my gosh all of them the bomb. We will be back. read more

A nice random find. Just flew into Denver and wanted to try something new. Lately trying "something new" has lead to unsatisfying experiences, but after tonight we have renewed hope. We originally were loosely thinking about one of the other Hangar Two area restaurants but between less-than-stellar ratings and an early closing time, decided we'd give North Coast a try. It's hard to find something bad about North Coast. Maybe the music's a few decibels too loud, maybe the lights are a few lumens to bright, but this is being picky. We will have to say that the constantly roving staff waiting to pounce on any plate that looked remotely empty was fair game to be snatched away. It became humorous after a while ("do they only have 12 plates and need to wash these for the next order?"). As to seating, the "mafia-family" style booths are a little weird and uncomfortable. We quickly asked to be moved. Except for the OCD plate people, the staff is attentive, pleasant and helpful. Top marks. But enough of that. On to the food. We had several appetizers to start with. You need to order the ceviche. Even if you don't care for ceviche, you need to order it. It's some of the best we've had away from the coast. Tacos. This is mostly a taco place. We tried 6-8 different tacos, ranging from the grilled nightly fresh fish selections to their spin on al Pastor and most everything else. Definitely had some favorites, but there was absolutely no losers in the bunch. They may be a touch pricey as you'll need 2-4, even with somappetizers. But the quality and freshness are worth it. Although North Coast is out in the hinterlands of SE Denver Metro, it's worth the drive if you're hankering for some top-notch San Diego tacos. We know we will find another excuse sooner than later to go back. read more

This is a great location for yummy drinks (margaritas) and has a good atmosphere. The tacos are delicious too. And it's close to other restaurants in Lowry. read more

Went in cinco de mayo at 10:00 pm and received not only excellent service, but the food was spot on too!! Fish tacos had some slingers (fish bones), other than that, no complaints! read more

North County has great food and a great atmosphere. The service is as good as the food and the drinks....don't have too many!! The best part is that it is walking distance from anywhere in lowry and is family friendly. Not all of the kid options are on the menu so ask your server. Every kid loves the lime-strawberry-lemonade mashup options. read more

Can't say enough about the amazing service we had at North County. Ian and his staff took such good care of us. He was very knowledgeable in recommending top notch tequilas to try and the food was really really good! They effortlessly came up with a dairy/gluten free entree that looked great and the quesadilla that I had was one of the best!! Can't wait to go back. read more

Normally love coming to north county, their selection for happy hour eats and drinks never fails to amazing me. Came in last Saturday and everything fell short. Tacos came out cold, waiter consistently forgot to bring out beers and queso fundido. Ended up waiting 45 minutes for a simple appetizer of hot cheese . As a regular here I expected more from this seasoned waiter. Great place for happy hour but if it seems busy steer clear wait staff can't handle crowds! read more
