    Grilled chicken and chicken wing

    This is one of the best Mexican restaurants on Colfax. Price is very reasonable and good quality of food. I really like the grilled chicken and the beans

    Step off! I seriously can't describe how pumped I am to have found this place. You can see into the kitchen, which always makes me a fan, you watch the chicken being grilled, the food is delicious, portions are HUGE and the prices are CHEAP! We had the Chicken Nachos - couldn't even eat half of them. We also had the Chicken Smothered Burrito - wow! Good amount of spice, the chicken is fantastic and the salsa & guac are really good. I seriously wish this place were closer to my house because it might become my regular hang out.

    So much cheese with no other toppings then chewy overcooked chicken

    Service is fast and prices are cheap, but the food is slop. You get what you pay for, that's for sure.

    This is my favorite local Mexican spot. I've been a patron for about 15 years…read more This time I treated visiting friends to lunch and, of course, they were not disappointed. The chips & salsa but, specifically the cabbage salsa, are enjoyable staples. The tortilla soup is also a must have. Sometimes, I just grab the soup plus chips & salsa. I like the soup because it's hearty and full of fresh ingredients. This time we enjoyed tostadas, street tacos, & green chile stew along with the standard refried beans & Spanish rice. And we didn't forget the alcoholic libations, rounding it out with margaritas and Corona. There are no complaints here. The food is always on point. The restaurant itself is always clean, welcoming, & prepared for a good time. The staff are always friendly & attentive. I also enjoy the entertainment playing in the screens & the nights with the mariachi. They are available on the food delivery app, too.

It's served with guacamole, pico de gallo, beans, and rice. I'm not a big fan of beans, so I usually ask for extra rice instead. The carne asada has a wonderful grilled aroma and taste, and the portions are always generous--there's usually enough left over for a doggy bag. The staff is quick and very friendly, and the menu has plenty of great options to choose from.

The street taco plate was delicious and you can't go wrong with the carnitas. The Burrito smothered in green chile was also fantastic and the pickled onions and queso Fresca elevated some different notes. Right now, the Venalonzo margarita is at the top of my list, only to be topped by the house margarita at El Camino in Missoula, Montana. Weird I know, but if you know, you know.

    I have been wanting to try this place and sad how much of a let down it was. Came in during lunch…read morefor a pick up order, fairly busy but not too long of a wait. For two people, ordered a set of 3 tacos (2x barbacoa and carnitas) and then another 3 tacos (asada, carnitas, and pastor), birria egg rolls, and a bean, cheese, and rice burrito. Not a big deal but they put all the tacos in one box and I was able to differentiate which 3 tacos that I ordered. This place is super stingy with salsa. They gave me 2 tiny containers for salsa and then when I asked for a couple more, the lady said she could only give me two more. :( Excited to try the food and started off great with a simple bean, cheese, and rice burrito but outside of that everything else was very meh. Not sure how but all the meats were so dry, I ordered braised/slow cooked meats (barbacoa and carnitas). Asada and pastor were okay as well. Everything lacked seasoning and the salsa didn't add much to the tacos either. Birria tacos were also dry and consommé needed salt to be added. Value was not bad at $37.64. Tacos were about $3-3.20 per
