    Chips and salsa
    Alexandra D.

    Hidden gem here! Honestly, great food, good value for the money! The menu is long but it's offering so many choices and, from the taste of their breakfast, it has to be good. The tacos were crunchy covered with guacamole, queso fresco, lettuce and tomatoes. Served with side of rice and beans.. it was so yummy! On the side they provided a spicy salsa that brought it all together! Ingredients are fresh and dishes are well crafted. Big breakfast so bring and appetite! The machaca looked really good- hubby liked it; served with its own salsa and your choice of tortillas, this dish also offered a good size portion. Service was quick; beats having to wait to be seated at some other places. This restaurant has ample seating and yes, it may not seem like a big deal but you have to give it a try. Don't be fooled by the exterior or the appearances of the location; the food makes up for all of that ;)

    ¡Los tacos más sabrosos de Denver! Y que lindas son las meseras!!!!! Best tacos in Denver in my humble opinion. They have discount Tuesday, which makes me come back every time. And as a Mexican, there's not many good Mexican spots in Denver , but this is for sure a diamond in the rough

    What a hidden gem! We were getting new tires just down the street and they recommended breakfast here. I had juevos rancheros with bacon. It came with a stack of pancakes too! I would have taken a pic but I was too concerned with engulfing the mass of delicious food! Definitely will be back next trip to Denver!

    Came to visit this place for the first time on Valentines Day and it has become a favorite!…read moreTo start, the host let us know upon arrival that they were out of all sauces besides the garlic butter and also out of other items which was a little disappointing. I was very skeptical at that point if I was going to really like this place. Next, we got seated quite quickly although there were 5 couples ahead of us. All the staff members I encountered were very friendly, nice and attentive which was a huge plus, especially considering how busy it was that day. We ordered our food and noticed they had very good prices and cheaper than our go-to seafood boil place so that's a win! The food came out hot, our server emptied out the bags for us which was very nice. I ordered the shrimp with head on xxtra hot and It was the perfect spice level for my latina taste buds, absolutely loved it even with just the garlic butter sauce. My husband got snow crab and he was very pleased with how tasty and easy it was to crack them open and get the crab out. If you have leftovers they will pack it up for you which is another plus for me! Lastly, I got a beautiful rose to end the night when we were heading out which was a nice touch! Overall, I will definitely be coming back to this restaurant. It was delicious and cooked perfectly! I am excited to try out their other sauces and look forward to it!

Always get a side of the Cajun fries too! Food never feels overcooked and the service workers are always friendly and attentive. I love that they provide good quality gloves to grub with, they make a difference! Space is clean, spacious and there's plenty of sinks to wash your hands after you get all sauced up. Pro tip: crawfish season is typically April/May, call them before you go to see if they have fresh crawfish in!

We changed that yesterday. We were trying to think of a new place to go try and the crab House popped into our thoughts. And we're so glad we went! The server who I can only imagine is probably the owner, man she is a hustler! This woman runs the whole place without leaving a single person unattended. We came in after lunch and before dinner so it was a little quiet in there when we came, but you could tell this is just how she does things. The food was fresh. It wasn't salty which we kind of expected. The prices were very reasonable and we're glad we don't have to go all the way to Denver to get this type of food anymore. Coming from Illinois we had a quite a few of these types of places near where we lived, but we don't have a lot of Cajun seafood here in Colorado. I was very happy to find something that wasn't terribly far from home, was clean, and the food was delicious! If I can give any critique, I wish the shrimp was just a little fresher. I'm guessing it was frozen however nothing was past its prime and we ate every bite!

First of all, the service is impeccable. The staff was so nice I thought they might have confused me with a family member or a long term regular customer. Alas, they are simply this nice to everyone as I watched them deal with two other customers in the great way they dealt with me. I ordered flan, they had run out and they just gave me for free as they felt bad. That really made me feel welcome and that they are really sincere about customer service. The food we ordered was awesome. Hot, fresh and made with care. It was a take out order and it was still box and packed with care. Their red sauce is crazy tasty. Make sure you try it. The building is bright, clean and well maintained. The parking is convenient and right in front of the building. I love this place and I will be returning within the week. What a great new passion to the foodie community of SW Denver.

We both chose to celebrate my birthday with the 7 ounce filet. This was served with a choice of lobster bisque or green salad.

Definitely will come back and try the many other plates on their menu.

    We visited for lunch. To begin, the good. When we entered the place, the host greeted us pleasantly…read moreand showed us to our table. The space is fun, kind of an old school dark/black place punctuated by mirrors and bright art. The menu had what appeared to be many good choices, not only steaks, burgers, etc, but also some Greek and Mexican options. It took a while for us to decide from among them. Maceo ordered a gin and tonic. First hint that all would not be well with the meal. The g&t was warm. A little ice, but thoroughly warm. And it didn't taste either very gin-like, though Maceo had ordered top shelf, nor very tonic-y. One of the worst g&ts we've ever had. And expensive. I ordered the Ten Burger, which included mushrooms and onions. I asked for the burger to be cooked medium rare. Maceo ordered the Philly Steak. It took a very long time for our meals to come out. The place was nearly empty, only two other tables of patrons, but we waited and waited and waited. When the food finally appeared, it was room temperature/cold, as if it had sat waiting for a long while before being taken to the table. The Philly Steak was cold. And not only cold, but in sitting it had lost its juices, so the entire sandwich was dry. The steak itself was cooked nicely, and was tender. The sandwich probably would have been tasty had it been served while still piping hot. Though I had ordered my burger medium rare, it came out very well done. Exceedingly well done. Thoroughly gray nothingness. And the fries were cold. With tip we ended up spending $105 on this meal. We feel very silly. And we also feel sad, because we were hoping that Steakhouse 10 would be an excellent place that would become our new regular spot when visiting Englewood.

Well that's how I felt this morning, so VinaMeals was where I ended. I ordered two items, so join me and read my food journey... Just had bánh ít tràn, a Vietnamese, steamed sticky rice dumplings dish. This dish reminds me of my mom's cooking where she used to make us this dish all the time to eat for breakfast. Lots ingredients inside the these three dumplings including mung bean, wood ear mushroom, jicama carrot, onion, garlic, minced with pork and shrimp. It came with steamed bean sprouts, cucumber, and fish sauce to dip the dumplings or just pour over the dish. I felt the accommodating items didn't add any value to this dish, but boy, did these dumplings bring back good memory. Of course, when you are here, you have to get their small wonton soup. It is one of the best I have ever eaten. I believe the broth that is the star, and the wontons come very close but just a second too late. This small soup is very filling, and I always wonder if adding a bowl of plain rice into the soup will make this dish a complete meal. We will have to find out later. As I am sitting here writing this review, I am truly enjoying the atmosphere. Listening to the music over my head, I am sing a little bit too loud, louder than mouthing the words.

The assorted nigiri pieces came out prettier than most other sushi spots, they definitely brushed it to make it look pretty, and that's setting the bar higher where it should be!

I recommend planning ahead with a reservation, as they can get busy during a dinner rush. We were visiting Colorado for a quick weekend trip and were floored by the food here. While the rolls all sounded great, we opted for an omakase experience. It is priced at market value, so I imagine this could vary over time, but they had three tiers for omakase, which I thought were all fairly priced for the amount of food included. We opted for the highest tier, which was $120 pp, and it was incredibly filling with high quality cuts of fish and a thoughtfully curated menu. The sushi chef who took care of us was incredibly kind, and it was clear he put a lot of care into the food he prepared. If you're on the fence, hop off and make that reservation and come hungry for the omakase experience!

The restaurant wasn't very busy when we arrived, and we requested outdoor seating. The hostess was very accommodating, quickly putting two tables together so we could sit outside in the shade on a beautiful Denver evening. The Alaska-inspired menu is fairly limited, but several items sounded appealing, especially the Elk Meatloaf. Our order included: * Bethel Brussels Sprouts ($12) * Elk River Meatloaf ($24) * Seward Caesar with chicken ($15) * Kids Fish & Chips ($9) Let's start with the positives. Service was very good throughout the meal, and our waitress was friendly and accommodating. The Brussels sprouts were a hit with the table -- flavorful and well prepared. The fries served with the fish & chips were hot, crispy. And the dinners were all generously portioned. Unfortunately, the rest of the food ranged from mediocre to disappointing. We were especially looking forward to the elk meatloaf, but both orders arrived extremely dry. The mashed potatoes and gravy were actually quite good, but they couldn't overcome the texture of the meatloaf itself. At least half of each serving was left uneaten. We substituted mixed vegetables for the green beans and found them undercooked, with the carrots still quite hard. The Caesar salad also disappointed, with wilted lettuce, and the fish in the fish & chips was described as bland. The patio itself is pleasant, but it sits directly beside a busy road, so traffic noise can be significant at times. Perhaps we simply ordered the wrong dishes, but given our experience, we were surprised by the restaurant's very high Yelp rating.
