Came on a Friday night after a conference. Restaurant wasn't busy yet but got busy by the time I left. House margarita was on point. The service was good. I enjoyed my combo steak and chicken fajitas. It was loaded with peppers. read more

Their breakfast menu consists of food items such as crepes and mini pancakes. Their dinner/lunch menu has quesadillas, nachos, fajitas, flautas, tortas, tamales, enchiladas, tacos, and molcajete. The restaurant serves some very savory drinks. They specialize in margaritas and offer a wide assortment of them. I got a cucumber lime margarita, and it was so good. I really liked it. They also serve beer, wine, pina colodas, and Bloody Marys. Be on the lookout for their Happy Hour food and drink specials that run from 3 PM to 5 PM. My interaction with them was limited, but I will say that the staff was friendly enough. I ended up ordering the street tacos which came in a pair of 4. I got one of each available (carne asada, al pastor, tinga, and birria). I also got a pork belly taco as well. It took them about ten minutes to prepare my food. It was good, but nowhere near the best taco that I have had. I really did not like the pork belly taco. It tasted horrible. I recommend steering clear of that one. All-in-all my visit here was ok. I would not object to eating here again. I would just not make it a point to do so. read more

This joint is nestled in the 16th shopping mall area by the movie theater, so good choice if you need to eat before/after the theater. My food was presented well and the server was extremely acommodating to me! Having a great server can really make decent things excellent! They have several tables outside in the front patio during nice weather and a Happy Hour Mon - Fri 3 to 5. Those hours are a bit tough, but I always feel happy hours are worth it if you can swing the days/times. My house margarita was well done and yes, I could taste the booze, yay! I saw several people going by with the large fruit fresca drinks traditional in Mexico (Auguas Frescas). Looks like they really do them right, here! Families with kids seemed to be loving it. The menu is a little messy, typos, and some of it is all over the place! Crepes, what?! They should get that in a bit more professional-looking and reading order. But, I enjoyed myself and would definitely take this spot over the loud, obnoxious Mexican joint across the street! Food is better here. Or the down the street where service kinda sucks. read more

In the 16th Street Mall, I was craving tacos on Taco Tuesday. Yelp reviews sent me here. Taco Tuesday special at $12. (See pic) The beans were meh, as was the rice. They elevated each other. The strawberry horchata was bomb! The tacos are more mini than street tacos, but a good two bites. Service was attentive. Place was clean. I recommend it to the convention-goers. Locals, please find something better. read more

Went during happy hour and got chips and guacamole and a frozen watermelon margarita from the happy hour menu. The guacamole was ok but I think it needed a little more lime and salt. I like that they use real fruit in their margarita and you could taste how fresh it was. My only complaint is it wasn't strong enough tequila. The server suggested I get the frozen margarita because they add an extra shot so it doesn't get watered down quickly but i didn't taste or feel the extra shot. I wanted to compare it to a regular margarita but service was so slow after the crowd came and the server didn't get back to my table until after happy hour ended. They also have weekly specials. I came on Wednesday which is 2 for 1 Quesobirrias. The tacos themselves were really good. The meat was tender and tasty. The consumme was very oily and hard to enjoy with the quesobirrias. I usually like to eat my consumme after the tacos are gone but because it was way too oily, I didn't want to finish it. Overall, it was just ok. Some things were better than others and the server was friendly but I think he was overwhelmed and needed help because he was acting as a host, waiter, and food runner for every table. read more

Wow, so this is in the Denver Pavilions where Motomaki used to be and I and a colleague stopped in here on a whim, wow what a great place with a really good menu. The service is excellent and like I said the menu items are really well done, they have food for all food types and a large drink menu as well. The atmosphere is laid back, we didn't have any appetizers but I did order their Que Rico salad with grilled chicken and creamy cilantro dressing, one of the best salads I have had in a while, it had sliced almonds, spinach, arugula, apples, strawberries and few other delicious items that made the salad absolutely delicious. My colleague had a nacho dish and carne asada street tacos, overall great food and service and if you're looking for a good lunch this is it. Will definitely be going here again. read more

This was my first Denver eats stop and my discovery of Birria Ramen. Just go ahead and order it. It was very salty but it made sense for it to me. Service was great as well. I also ordered the green juice which was yummy and large! And, the shaved ice that i could've done without... it was the chunky ice texture instead of the fine texture that i enjoy. I'd come back! read more

Hidden Gem Worth Finding! This spot is tucked into a little corner, but absolutely worth seeking out. The food was amazing--we are here two weeks and plan to go back again before we leave! We tried the flight of margaritas, and they were delicious. Christian was incredibly friendly and provided excellent service every time. Highly recommend! read more

Don't be like me - know what you are ordering! I thought I was ordering french fries and was sorely disappointed when it was classic lays (I hate them). From the snack menu Dorilocos, Rufleslocos, Papaslocas are an interesting take on "nachos." They're not nachos at all, but rather Doritos, Ruffles, or Potato Chips piled high with crazy toppings. The one topping you should know about is the cueritos - these are soft, slimy, pickled pork rind. I'm pretty adventurous, and while they weren't gross, there wasn't much to love about them. Everything else was really good and I ate a lot of it in spite of not even liking lays. Also had a cup of the birria which was delicious and made me feel better after my mis-ordering. read more

Not sure why this place has 4.5 stars as it's not very good. It was dirty inside and the food came out cold and wasn't the best. The only good thing about the restaurant is the servers, they are really friendly and do a great job. Would not recommend coming here, there are much better Mexican restaurants on 16th St. read more

Very disappointing. First, most of the menu images say Happy Hour is 3:00-6:00. That's no longer true. It is now 3-5. The place was empty, yet the service was very slow. We planned dinner, but decided we would just have a margarita and go somewhere else for dinner. Not sure why so many positive reviews, that was not our experience. The margaritas were very good. I can't vouch for the food since we decided to go elsewhere. read more

Visiting from out of state. In 2-3 days this was the first place I went to with good food AND good drinks! I love cocktails and margaritas and they got them right! The food was delicious!

Where do o begin.. Food: Their menu has a great variety of food options, tacos, birria ramen, loaded fruit and burgers. Everything was really good, a bit on the pricey side but not too bad. Ambience: Very clean, lots of seating and great for bigger groups Service: Everyone was great, but they were really slow. There were only 3 other people and our group of 5 waited for 35min to get drinks and food. They also forgot one of our main dishes and an agua fresca. We had to go up to ask about them after about 15-20min read more

My friend and I needed a quick bite before a movie we were going to see. We decided to run into this establishment as I've been here before. You'd never know this unassuming cantina has some of the best margaritas I've had. Also I've never seen a Mexican restaurant sale crepes can ramen dishes. Both were tasty. read more

I went in with my work colleagues for lunch, food was brought to the table but we didn't have any silverware. Our waitress Daniela was only there once we received our food and then towards the end when we were about to cash out. USUALLY in a restaurant a SERVER is there to see if anyone NEEDS anything or is MISSING anything. I understand EVERY restaurant is different. What we found rude, was when one of my colleagues was still eating chips(which we were charged for every basket) and the waitress took away the chips while he was still eating from one of the chip basket, we were all very surprised. We all felt very rushed for a restaurant with half of the tables being empty. We will not be coming back. read more

Do not recommend this place at all!!! Stay away Came to eat with my daughter on 01/23/26. The service was horrible! Took a few minutes after we walked in to get acknowledged. Mind you there are only three other parties at this time. We ordered birria ramen 3/10 flavor was off and sweet compared to others I tasted. My daughter didn't even eat 1/4 of it that's how bad it was. Chilaquiles 8/10 flavor was good although the portion was extremely small for the huge plate we received them in. The server never came to ask if I wanted a refill on my drink, she came and asked if we needed anything I said no just the check. 10 min later another server came and asked if we need anything I just said the check would be nice. Mind you both of them were in the side station just talking the manager and another employee were talking by the register. I kept looking at their direction made eye contact then looked at the servers just talking in the corner. We got up went outside for 5 minutes to maybe see if they would finally come ask us or give us the check and nothing! Finally went back inside and server noticed and ask oh do you guys need anything! Spoke with the manager before leaving and he said oh my apologies I'll talk with them would you like a complementary drink. I've been in the F&B industry for over 20 years and I've never been so disappointed in a restaurant in my life. Not for the quality of food but the service of the establishment. read more

I come in here all the time and everything i've ordered hits (and i've tried a lot of their very large menu). Most recently I had the birria ramen which is everything I love in one big old bowl. They just opened a full bar as well which i'm dying to check out for happy hour sometime. Always greeted with a smile & service is quick and friendly. Ramen noodles floating in rich consume with a hefty portion of birria, cilantro and onion? It's a yes from me. read more

I'd never say to go to the Pavilions on purpose, but - suck it up and make an exception for this place!!! It's tucked inside behind Harry's (so, near Welton St). #holyyum #yourtastebudswillloveyou The only disappointment for me is no bar seating, but if you're lucky enough to sit at Christian's table, you won't even notice!! HH - M-F 3-6, other daily specials. Do it!! read more

A cool brunch spot within 16th Street Mall. The area is under construction so it may be challenging to find parking but we walked from our nearby hotel. The staff was happy to announce that they received their liquor license and offered margaritas to start. We were able to open a tab while we awaited the rest of our party. I ordered a simple breakfast with pancakes, eggs, breakfast potatoes and bacon. Everything came out hot and fresh. We arrived close to opening time so we practically had the place to ourselves but I enjoyed the music that played in the background. read more

Just bad. Food not good. Service slow. Got our food before drinks. Didn't get everything we ordered. When we said to take off bill at the end wanted to get the item for us. Had to say no about 10 times. Then the kicker is they charge you more then menu prices, when you ask they say they have not gotten a chance to change menus. They are copied pieces of paper - and you would think that when you order something that is a higher price then shown they would at least say something. $20.00 for a pins colada when menu says 16.00 no thank you. Never again read more

My sister-in-law told me that this place had great drinks. We arrived after the lunch rush. We were greeted by a friendly host and seated quickly. I ordered their cocktail made with Jamaica and Mezcal. I have to say, this is the best cocktail I have ever had!! My brother had a cocktail with pineapple - sorry can't remember the name of it but It was very good. We tried a few food items - Mexican cream & corn, shrimp cocktail, sope, fish tacos, all of it was very good! read more

So this place is hidden, you will pass a tavern on the corner and then immediately see a sugar candy store bust a right you will see stairs however don't take the stairs proceed to walk through the corridor and it is located on your right. We went for lunch on a Wednesday And it was booming. They were short staffed and the hostess was also your bus boy and your waiter, however his personality made you feel immediately at home. I forget what I ordered, but it was filling high-quality meats, flavorful, and my Group and I caught ourselves reminiscing on this place days later The atmosphere is colorful, fun and loud read more

The hubby and I were walking around and we stumbled upon Que Rico and boy were we glad. As soon as we walked in around 5pm on a Thursday night, we were seated and greeted. Then we were given menus. The menu was HUGE with so many items and that made me worried as normally when the menu is huge, they normally do not execute things well. BUT this place surprised me. They executed everything well. The only thing was that it looked like they only had one server working the entire restaurant and it was not a small restaurant. It was a big enough restaurant where I thought that they should have at least had 2 servers. But the one server did a great job in touching every table to ensure that everything was going well. I got the elote and it came out totally loaded BUT the corn was boiled instead of roasted so that it was not as good as it could've been. But then again, it was definitely not corn season when I ordered it so. . .I guess that's my fault for ordering it. But hey what can I say? I LOVE corn! LOL I also got the chilaquiles with green sauce and let me tell ya that was one of the best chilaquiles that I have ever had. The chips were covered in the greed sauce BUT they still had texture and were crunchy as well. So freaking good. The sauce was also so yummilicious with just the right amount of heat to give your taste buds a good kick of heat. I also added in 2 eggs, over easy. The eggs were ok. . .they came out more over hard but hey it was protein so I didn't complain. Just an FYI, it comes with refried beans and since I hate beans, I didn't touch it. The hubby tasted it and he said that it was decent. The hubby got a loaded potato and OMG it was HUGE. If you order this, make sure that you have an appetite to match the size of the potato. Overall, the prices were decent. For 2 entrees, one appetizer and one drink and tip, it came to a little over $51. I thought that was good price for dinner for 2 people. read more
