    Ate one taco before realizing I needed to document my meal with a photo! :)
    Maria R.

    I went there for their Quesabirria tacos and they were exactly what I was hoping for. Cheesy, tender shredded beef and a delicious broth to dip them in. Will definitely go again!

    Mangonada
    Corinne C.

    Plenty of seating inside! Came by after dinner for a treat. Got the mangonada. It was more like a mangonada flavored raspado. About 4-5 tiny diced mango cubes on top, and the rest was crushed ice and syrup. I did appreciate the heavily seasoned tajin/chamoy rim and the sour spaghetti candy in it added a terrific chewy texture, and the chamoy and takin seasonings made it nicely spicy salty sweet, but it really is very light on the mango (but maybe this is just how Colorado mangonadas are, since I normally only get them in California) so it felt a bit pricey at $10. Still, I'll be back in the future to try out some of their savory items and try another sweet treat!

    Strawberry horchata

    I was excited to try the strawberry horchata (which was easily some of the best I've ever had)! The quesabirria was delicious and filling. The salsas were also fantastic. I finished the meal with a beautiful and decadent flan. Javier, the owner, was attentive to my needs and made sure that all customers who came in were satisfied. There were so many wonderful things on the menu, including Mexican street foods and brunch items (served all-day). I will absolutely be making this one of my regular spots anytime I visit Boulder!

    Torta

    Great Torta- one of the best I've had. This is a new location and is really nice and clean. Very friendly staff and great salsa bar. Highly recommend!

    Elite en vaso
    Tammy S.

    Our first time here to this New Mexican eatery, and it's charming, delicious, and has super friendly staff. Upon first entering we weren't even sure they sold food beyond Mexican snacks, but we soon found the menu and had so many things we wanted to try it was hard to narrow it down. We decided on an order of Chilaquiles with 2 eggs over easy, a quesabirria, an elote en Vaso and Horchata. The sauces are flavorful and the shredded beef tender and so tasty. We took home enough for another meal as the Chilaquiles are huge. Everything was hot fresh, and delicious! More authentic than other Boulder Mexican restaurants and we will be back to try desserts like raspados (shaved ice) and more meals. Thanks for sharing your story with us as well! It is a family business and we wish all the best!

    Chicken burrito and cucumber lime drink
    Manley F.

    BEST MEXICAN FOOD I'VE HAD in CO!! Wow! Had the chicken burrito- so different than all the other sit down if fast Mexican spots. Reminds me of real deal homemade. Lime.m cucumber drink was awesome too and super friendly and fast service! Don't miss this spot and enjoy the sunny patio too!

    This is a fun place to get Mexican style snacks. If you're in the mood for exotic sweets or salty, check it out! I want to come back for birria ramen which sounds amazing. It's a nice big place with a view west towards the Flatirons. Counter service.

    Corn in a Cup
    Diana V.

    Started out skeptical about getting good Mexican food. BUT, this place was outstanding. Employees super friendly and made several recommendations. The shrimp ceviche nachos were super tasty. Enough ceviche to cover every chip. The tortes (choice of beef, pork or chicken). It is so big two can share easily. Corn in a cup....wow, wow, wow. Birria tacos super good. The topper - Agua Frescas, can't go wrong. Your choices: Pepino, Fresa, Mango, Pina, Hochata, and Jimiaca.

    a menu for a mexican restaurant
    Quill F.

    No one is sad eating Mexican food. Came here based on a recommendation and I was pretty great. Tastes like they don't cook with a lot of salt which is nice. I added the green salsa they have at the counter and it brought my plate to a whole other level. Good stuff! I'll try it again.

    Cucumber lime agua Fresca
    Aleksis B.

    This place is really good and the perfect in between to fast casual and a great sit down Mexican restaurant. Wasn't sure what to expect first time going in but was impressed and have been getting delicious burritos there over many other options. I brought my coworker the Birria ramen and he loved it. All of our work crew keeps going back for lunches. Definitely go try them out. Its in a very overlooked location next to Five Guys. Its been pretty empty whenever I go but Boulder needs these types of mom and pop business, go support them!

    Quesabirria tacos

    Stumbled on this place while shopping. Almost didn't want to leave a review because it's so good! I got the quesabirria tacos, definite must. It's like a super cheesy Birria taco. I'm blown away, I had two and going back later today for more! The service is phenomenal too, the staff helped me grab the best combo of hot sauce!

    Veggie tacos
    Maulik K.

    Good is pretty spot on. The elote is definitely worth trying. Lots of vegetarian options that is also delicious and not bland. And there is a mind blowing salsa bar. This place is getting my business for sure.

    I'd give more stars if I could. Genuinely French crepes. It was his grandmothers recipe. Fresh and…read moredelicious. I was $1 short and he gave me the money! This place was on diners drive ins and dives. Well deserved.

    I'd heard that this local French crepe place was good and because of transportation issues had not…read moremanaged to get here until now. But I am glad we had time today and went shortly after they opened for brunch and really enjoyed ourselves. We decided to share one savory crepe and one sweet. They are very large yet delicate and we barely finished them. Our savory was the Parisian and the sweet was the classic lemon. They were perfect in every way. Order at the counter when you arrive and choose a seat in the dining area. It's classic white walls with art and wood tabletops and metal classic cafe chairs. The food was excellent, the French chef owner made the crepes and delivered them to the table. We had picked up our drinks as we paid before choosing a table. It's usually been full when I've seen pictures in the past but it was a very cold day and students at CU as well as other families just getting back from the holiday season. They also offer Build Your Own Crepe and we probably will next time. For a sweet crepe next time I would do one with Nutella but without any banana as many of the standard choices had. For savory next time I would take the Normandy. We chose quickly today as a line started forming behind us. I had looked online at the menu though my husband had not had time. A plan would be good. It appeared that the counter staff may also be family. It is such a welcoming place with really good food, not found elsewhere in Boulder. And very good pricing for quality and portion size. They opened in an unusual little spot, almost downtown but not quite, in the stretch along Broadway between CU and the Pearl St Mall. They have a small parking access to 4 shared spaces with the shop next door to it and the access is on Arapahoe. If you are staying at the large new hotels on the Hill it's an easy walk, the equivalent of one long block. If you know Boulder well and need to easily park, there is paid parking in the library lot across Broadway and an easy flat walk both ways.
