I got their veggie montadas which was great! Stacked crispy tortillas with cheese and veggies. The side rice and beans were great too. I did pay for the added guac so that doesn't come with it but it was a delicious touch (but I probably wouldn't pay for the up-charge next time).

We are in Denver for business - and a friend recommend this spot. On our first visit (YES, we are here for only a couple days, but have been twice, so far...and plan one more visit before we leave)...we ordered the Al Pastor Tacos and the smothered Carnitas burrito. I am a HUGE carnitas fan...and this burrito was sublime. It's about the size of two traditional sized enchiladas (not too big)...had an amazing tomatillo sauce...with a wonderful pickled cabbagey thing on top. Seriously, every bit was moist and delicious. Baby had the Al Pastor tacos - which he pronounced "the best I've ever had." So, a couple days later we took my brother (local to Denver). This time, we took the waiter's recommendation (he is also the owner)...and I had the Barbacoa Quesadilla (which comes with Barbacoa "juice" and a nice little hot salsa) - SO great!; Baby had the "pork belly tacos" which, in his description, "Sublime! From a reluctant Mexican food person...those tacos were blessed." (He is Canadian and also not religious...so, this is unheard of...) We are in town for a couple more days...and plan to go back before we leave. We also purchased some of their salsas! Yum...all different, but lovely. No preservatives...just beautiful fresh ingredients. This place is a MUST GO! (Also, good and easy parking for our big truck) Nice outdoor seating with umbrellas! Super service. Our server clearly wants you to enjoy your experience. If I could give this restaurant a 10 star, I would.

We recently moved to the Golden area and have been on the hunt for a great Mexican restaurant…read more After trying a few spots nearby, Birriería Donna Maria has quickly become our go-to. The food is consistently excellent. We've ate here four times so far and haven't been disappointed once. My personal favorites so far are the enchiladas and the fajitas. In my opinion a lot of places tend to overcook the meat in fajitas, but not here. The meat has always been tender, and the seasoning is spot-on. The staff at Donna Maria are professional, welcoming, and attentive, which makes the experience even better. The restaurant space itself isn't huge, but it's comfortably sized, and we've never had to wait for a table. If you're in the Golden area and craving quality Mexican food, this place is definitely worth checking out.

The Golden Mill is a fun place to spend an afternoon, especially if you're visiting Golden. The…read moreconcept is great--you get a card that's linked to your credit card, then you can order food and drinks from any of the vendors whenever you want without worrying about separate tabs. There's only about 4 options to choose from. It makes it easy for everyone in your group to get exactly what they want and just hang out. The best part is the location. The outdoor seating overlooks Clear Creek, so you can sit for hours watching people float down the river and enjoy the atmosphere. It's a great spot to relax with friends or family. The only downside is the food. We tried a few different things, and nothing really stood out. It wasn't bad, but it definitely wasn't the reason I'd come back. Overall, I'd return for the atmosphere, drinks, and convenience of the food hall setup--not necessarily for the food itself.

Golden Mill is unlike anything I've experienced before! The concept is really unique and made for a…read morefun visit. The downstairs outdoor patio is pet friendly, which was perfect for us and Luna. (The upstairs patio is not pet friendly because that's where the sushi bar is located.) The staff does a great job staying on top of clearing dishes and wiping down tables, so everything stayed clean despite how busy it was. When you arrive, they check your ID, stamp your hand to show you're 21+, and give you a card that's used throughout your visit. Every drink and food station scans your card, and drinks are charged by the ounce, so you can pour as little or as much as you'd like. They even have pre-salted glasses ready for margaritas! If you're unsure how the system works, staff members are nearby and happy to help. The food selection is impressive. There are several vendors offering everything from sushi and burgers to mac and cheese, Mexican food, ice cream, and more, so there's something for everyone. We ordered the loaded nachos, which came with chili, cheese, corn, and pico de gallo. They were really good, although I think they would have been even better with a side of guacamole and sour cream. The outdoor seating area has plenty of tables, lots of fans, and covered sections that provide welcome relief from the Colorado sun. The views are another highlight--you can overlook Clear Creek with the mountains in the background, and even see the Coors Brewery from the patio. Overall, it's a fun atmosphere, a very unique experience, and definitely worth checking out if you're in Golden.

A great value - and would recommend the lunch portion unless you are very hungry or looking for leftovers.

The space itself is quite small, with just a few indoor tables and some seating out front to people watch. What really stood out was the warm, welcoming staff. Service was quick, and everything came out fresh and hot. We tried the beef super arepa and the pork pupusa--both were packed with flavor and seriously satisfying. The only miss for us was the coconut lemonade, which leaned more bitter than refreshing. That said, it didn't take away from the overall experience. The menu is on the smaller side, but honestly, that works in its favor--everything feels intentional and well-executed. Definitely a spot we'll be returning to, especially to work our way through the rest of the menu.
