    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

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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?

    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!

    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

    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.

    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! You have to try the birria ramen! It was busy but our server was on it! The food, the ambiance, the service all gave very authentic Mexican vibes.

    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

    Confirmed. Mango Mango Dessert is at 1144 S Colorado Blvd, Denver, CO and the mille crepe cake is…read morea confirmed menu item . Here's the revised review: Okay people... I don't throw around the word "franchise" lightly. But I walked out of Mango Mango Dessert on Colorado Blvd genuinely researching whether I could open one in centennial or south area. That should tell you everything. The crepe cake is what got me. Thin crepe after thin crepe, stacked with cream, and somehow light enough that you don't feel like a monster for finishing it. We also grabbed some to bring home... which lasted about 20 minutes if I'm being honest. Perfect end of night dessert. Here is the thing though... this place doesn't feel like it was built for an American audience. It feels like someone picked it up directly from Asia and just set it down on Colorado Blvd, completely intact. The flavors, the presentation, the whole experience... it's the real deal. Not a watered down approximation of what Americans think Asian dessert tastes like. The actual thing. Now the lines. They are long. At all hours. And the answer is yes... people just love it this much. A line that long is usually trying to tell you something. Go. Just bring a bag if patience.

    Needed something refreshing, different and not so caffeine oriented and viola!…read more It was packed restaurant when we got in but our order was taken in reasonable time considering only one front person. Our order came out in a zippy. I had the special mango mango drink and shared few deserts. All gone! Licked the plate, sucked the last drop! When you are in a mood for some mango, this is the place. Thank you for bringing the order to our table. 1. Very noisy. Need some noise absorbing wall art. 2. Those chairs legs - as bad as the chalk board

    Spouse and I visited Olive & Finch at the Union Station. I had modest expectations. I thought it…read morewould be an attractively designed hipster coffeehouse with uninspired food offered as an afterthought. I was pleased to be wrong!! The ambiance was indeed attractively designed, bright and open, not too loud even though we sat ourselves near the kitchen. We ordered from menus with our smart phones, and our drinks and food arrived promptly. I ordered the Shakshuka, a northern African dish of stewed tomatoes with feta cheese and spices served with warm crusty garlic bread. A perfectly poached egg was nestled on top, and the dish was accompanied by a side salad of baby lettuces dressed very sparingly in oil and vinegar. Now, ordinarily, for me more is more when it comes to condiments. But the way the salad was dressed allowed the flavors of the lettuces to come through, and its blend of tart and slightly bitter was the perfect foil to the shakshuka, which was hearty, delicious, and spicy indeed! The stew was a generous portion that could be easily shared if you ordered an extra side of garlic bread, which I did. I was lucky to be able to request it from an employee who came around to ask how our meal was. The overall experience was memorable in the best way. I'm already craving the Shakshuka!

    I came for the happy hour charcuteries and the beets were holy crap delicious! And I don't like…read morepickled beets, usually, (I love beets and I love pickles, but not together) but this must've been pickled by them in their own recipe and it was so good. Not the icky too sweet, too sour that I taste in others. The hummus also tasted very freshly made and was good, but they did not put anywhere near enough on the board. The ratio was so bad, it was like 1/4 cup of hummus and 8 triangles of pita, not to mention if you were to dip anything other than the pita in the hummus. It really needed like 3 to 4 times the amount of hummus I got. Then, they're weren't any vegetables to dip other than pickled beets. Something like carrots, celery, radish, cucumber, tomato... anything! The olives are a nice side bite, I love olives, but you need more veggies. The price for that was way overpriced and that was their "happy hour" deal, too. Ok, come on now! They also have some cocktails and wine for $5 - 6 for HH so, that is a good deal -- daily 3-5pm. The patio outside is pretty large. But, ps you not supposed to leave with your drink whether inside or outside. Terminal bar you can wander more on the inside.
