    When you come to Denver you have to stop here

    Outstanding is all i need to say tacos and rice steak tender not over seasoned outdoor seating right off 16th st

    House margarita
    Carol T.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Quesabirria tacos
    Melanie R.

    Delicious mango margarita and frozen mangonada. Quesabirria tacos were excellent- so flavorful, cheesy, and complimented by the consomme Fish taco was also a hit- fresh fried fish, crema, mango salsa Highly recommend!

    Strawberry Horchata
    Dev R.

    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.

    Corn tortillas
    Alizabeth B.

    Don't sleep on the corn tortillas. They were some of the best I've ever had. Portion size was big and seriously... did I mention how good the tortillas were?

    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.

    quesabirrias   Good amount of meat and cheese. Good flavor.
    Karina L.

    Food: I order the quesabirrias. Really really good! Good amount of meat and cheese. Good flavor. Staff are friendly (: Delicious food!

    Great place to grab a margarita to walk around with! They make a good michelada as well and the hospitality was fire. Appreciate you my guy.

    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.

    Birria Ramen
    Kathryn J.

    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!

    Loaded fries
    Ta'keisha R.

    This was such a fun restaurant. We stopped in for drinks and had a really good server. He kept the drinks coming and made sure we were well taken care of. The drinks here are really good. My party also ordered tacos that they all enjoyed! The queso and chips were also really tasty

    The family brunch I organized here is one of my favorite family memories. I made a reservation on…read moreOpenTable, and I ended up needing to increase the number of people to 8 a few days before the reservation. Accommodating our party was no problem. My mom, who usually scoffs at fancy restaurants and their fancy prices, absolutely loved her $10 ginger sunrise juice drink (I made her get it) and said that her sweet corn eggs benedict ($19) was one of the best things she's ever eaten. Our server Julie did an amazing job taking care of our party, some of whom arrived on time and some of whom didn't. The 20% large party gratuity was well-earned. I loved that the restaurant being connected to the hotel meant that the lobby was a beautiful space for those of us who got there early to gather and for us to all chat before we went our separate ways. Many of us were enthralled by the Moët & Chandon vending machine in the lobby, as well as the super cool "fire in a glass box" art piece. I had the $19 chicken philly skillet, which was tasty, but my family members who got the $29 steak and eggs knew what they were doing. My husband, who is incredibly picky about bacon, thought his $6 side of bacon with his $18 buttermilk pancakes was perfectly cooked and not overly seasoned. Thinking about this family meal makes my heart smile. Thanks to the Corinne staff for making it delightful.

    This is a fine spot in a hotel downtown, sure, but yikes the pricing was totally out of control!!!…read more Brunch, you know simple cheap stuff like eggs and potatoes, was $130 for TWO people. I don't think I've ever spent more on brunch in my life. Yeah, we got a couple drinks, too. Thank goodness it was my partner's bday and we got the dessert for free. A fine place, but be ready to thin your wallet if you choose it! I wouldn't go again for that reason. I'd find another brunch spot where I can spend $100 or less. Which is still A TON for brunch!!! Restaurants complain so much about business, but then price it to the point where they get less business. What's gotta give? Hotels have the luxury of being more expensive since they have people staying & paying on the company dollar. But, I didn't pick the spot, and I got a bougiea$$ partner! Lol.

Location (4 stars) This restaurant is downtown near the convention center. parking is pricy if you valet park at the hotel. Last year it was around $40. Parking in the lot across the street for $25 dollars Easter Sunday. If you use a walker, I would not recommend the parking lot across the street. Food (3 Stars) The Thanksgiving buffet is the best one. I would rate that buffet a (4). The Christmas and Easter buffet are pretty low key. There is a carving station (ham and prime rib). There is an omelet station. Dessert bar is decorative. Cheesecake was delicious. The warming station with potatoes, sausage etc. leaves much to be desired. The charcuterie station is sparse. They offer unlimited mimosas for an additional $25. Service (5 stars) Staff are extremely friendly. Cleanliness (2 stars) My only complaint, I saw a tabletop being cleaned off with a rag used to clean the chairs and then under the table on the floor and on to the next tabletop. I'm just a little picky about that. Especially since folks these days go commando and wear short attire, and you know their parts are on the chair and now spread to tabletops. Wiping up the crumbs off the floor with same rag simply through me over the edge. Atmosphere (4 stars) Spacious uncrowded environment. Nice decor. Bright with large windows.

Was in a big group so split a bunch of appetizers - the hash brown, muffin, and strawberry rhubarb French toast. The star of the show was the French toast. The strawberry rhubarb spread was to die for, with icing on top - I would get this every time I came here and never switch it up. The hash brown was good too, but probably wasn't a great value for how much food you're getting. I got the Foxy burrito. This thing was huge, and was loaded. Lots of meat and potatoes in there, and wasn't too heavy on eggs, which is how I like my breakfast burritos. The sauce had a good kick to it that had spice, but wasn't too hot, and didn't linger. I thought it was excellent. Would definitely return and recommend for brunch and the area.

And I also hear so many people like it so we were so excited to finally get to sit down to try it over the last weekend. A tip is to get on the waitlist as soon as you can because of how fast the place gets crowded! Also don't expect a quiet dining experience because you will be surrounded by people inside and out. Once we were seated, I took one look at the menu to realize why it was so popular. Imagine everything you would expect to see from a diner, except twisted into something so unique! I never had an animal styled hash brown until that day. The server was also very friendly and attentive. So the food itself had really good flavor flavors, but I felt like everything was overly too chewy. So as fun as it was to eat, the hash brown covered in animal style sauce, it was nearly impossible to cut with a knife. I also thought pieces of my burrito were overly chewy, and it was almost better as leftovers once it softened up from the microwave. But it was very delicious and filled me up for the following morning. The fall style French toast was also unique and tasted just like the name so it was perfect for fall lovers like me! So overall, it was a fun experience, but we were just not used to the way everything was cooked. But the flavors were amazing!
