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.

First time at El Tequileño and I wasn't expecting to like it as much as I did. We split the chorizo…read morecon queso to start and it was gone way faster than it should've been. I got the carne asada and it's cooked over charcoal, which you can actually taste, and my friend got the chipotle enchiladas and let me try a bite, no complaints there either. Had a margarita and a Miami Vice with dinner and both were solid. This is one of those spots that doesn't need to be flashy to be good. Already planning on going back, and I didn't expect to say that walking in.

We sampled multiple tequilas (and fell in love with Maestro) and had a great time catching up over dinner: quesabirrias, mole de pollo, carne asada, and the El Meson special (grilled steak, bacon-wrapped shrimp in traditional chile relleno with rice and beans). The servers didn't rush us, they checked in on us, and we had such a great time there. Can't wait for next year's conference!

We had no idea this place even existed behind UCHeath Anschutz hospital!…read more The ambience is clean, classy, and inviting, the staff was super friendly, and the food and house margarita were great. We went for lunch so we were able to find parking but I could see where that might be problematic in the evening. I almost hate to review them because I don't want anybody else to find out about them.

We went here tonight for the first time on our quest to find the best, fresh margaritas in town and…read morewill definitely be back. 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.

Everything has always been delicious and I don't think there's a single thing on the menu that would disappoint.

The prices went up drastically by 20% which is a shock, but then an additional cost of "Inflation Relief Fee" was added on our check as well. That's a bunch of horse manure.

Always a great meal…read more I always enjoy going to Guadalajara Mexican Restaurant. They're known for their molcajete, but tonight I tried some other dishes and everything was excellent. The strawberry margaritas are always above average quality -- strong but smooth. Chips came out hot and crispy, and the salsa is terrific. Fresh with just the right amount of kick. We had the combo plate with an enchilada, chile relleno, and tostada, plus the Steak Ranchero with rice and beans. Both were hot, huge portions, and packed with flavor. The tortillas were steamed and fresh. Service was fast and friendly. Consistent quality every time I come here. Highly recommend.
