    Good hot wings!! Saucy and crispy. Definitely will be back for more. Grilled chicken looks like it needs a try.

    Just made my first and last visit to Rico Pollo. The good. Clean and sparkling during the opening hours. Shredded chicken was tasty. Lots of spices. The Average. Counter staff was somewhat distant. The ugly. "No flautas today." They are the cheapest item on the menu at $3 and you don't have any? Microwaved nachos with cheese wiz. Best of all, they do the microwaving right in front of you at the counter. Expensive. Nachos de Pollo + drink was $9. I can eat a Chipotle for that and get better food. (A 1/2 chicken is $14. Mama Sanninos gives you a 1/2 chicken AND a side of spaghetti for less.) Temperature was freezing in the second (north side) dining area. No Wi-Fi. Very low-end paper napkins.

    Whole roast chicken plus all the fixings.

    The best smooth beans ever! Been coming to this place since I was a child, and now it's my favorite taco dinner for the nights that I'm not feeling up to the task of cooking. I get the whole chicken dinner for 2 ppl and it feeds us for dinner, each of our lunches the next day, and often dinner again. I usually get extra sides of rice and beans, just to stretch the leftovers even longer. The best part is I get all that for $31. I imagine it would satisfy a family of 4.

    Tasty and quick, nothing too fancy or exceptional about this place but a great option for some quick wings.

    Wonderful! They were full inside, so they set us up at a table outside beneath a tree. The…read morecomplementary chips and chile were a great starter. We had the green chile plate and the five taco platter with bison and lengua, with guacamole on top. My only quibble is that the bison needed more seasoning, it was a bit gamey like hamburger meat. The guac serving was generous and the corn tortillas were good. The chile was the best version of this dish that I've had. The staff were extremely attentive and kept our water full in the 90 degree heat. Food came out super fast. Price was very reasonable for the area.

Looking at taco places, I went with something close by to our location and found this hidden gem. Nestled away on a small street corner of Clay Street and 32nd Ave. parking can be scarce, but I'm sure with the right time and a little bit of walking you will find and manage your way here. Outside the restaurant, they have a small seating area which now is winter too cold to enjoy, but I'm sure in the spring and summer and fall time is super enjoyable. The inside, though a little bit tiny and no cozier than going to your mom's house and expecting a family Filled living room/Kitchen. We went down and greeted by three smiling faces. We already looked at the photos online and knew we want tacos so opted with the chicken tacos and Carne Asada taco plates. The tacos place option came with 5 tacos with up to 2 choices of meats the ratio would be 2:3 .. freshly mashed guacamole made in front of you or freshly sliced avocado.. In the pictures I listed you will find each chicken and Carne Asada options. Both slow pictures missing two tacos because we devoured them as soon as we got into the truck. Their street tacos are heavenly! Chicken option was all chicken breast super juicy grilled to perfection five tacos on a plate another two tacos missing because my husband and I devoured it. This plate came we asked it with the guacamole option instead of fresh avocado. The carne asada was just FULL of flavor and the fresh avocado slices with green tomatillo salsa SLAPPED.. the tortillas are super soft and tears from how fresh the flour tortillas were!! Definitely a place to sit and eat there to enjoy the hot food. I'm originally from SoCal and a heavily populated Latinos with amazing tacos and food.. Taqueria La Familia passed the bar high!! We can't wait to come back and try other options and will update pictures and review then!

We…read morewalked here after yoga, so naturally we were hungry and ready for a beverage by the time we arrived. Everyone was nice, and vibes were poppin'. I wasn't impressed by the food or drink, though they have a comprehensive menu. The Watermelon Margarita I got was kinda syrupy and not very strong. Wasn't worth ordering a second one. We were probably better off taking tequila shots at that point. The food wasn't particularly memorable either. I think I got the Birria Smothered Burrito. Overall I wouldn't come back, but it was decent for a small group!

But the shining star was the Trea Leches Pancakes!! Omfg I can devour that and lick the plate (lol) ...I was obsessed ... The staff were really attentive and super nice !! For sure hospitable and very endearing .... The food is Latino inspired specially Mexican ... If you are looking for good food and drinks then this is the place to go !!! Seems like this place knows how to get down!!! I was noticing a bunch of big groups for birthdays and celebrations . But the overall , yes will be coming back !!!

I had the barbacoa burritos. More than enough to eat!! Great marinated beef with a slow and steady heat. Loved it. My wife had the mole con pollo and thought it was fantastic with a light heat to it. The portions here are generous so plan to get a box or be stuffed!!

    Service! Worst service! Marcus, if that is his real name, was terrible. We always tip 25-30%, I am…read moresisnt wmat top tip 10%. He didn't deserve any, We had to ask for water, salsa, rounds of drinks, a knife (which was never delivered) . We ordered tableside guac, he said it would be 10-15 minutes before he could do it. I knew he didn't want to do I did a time check, and 23 minutes later, no tableside guac, Marcus was often not seen at his other tables nor on the floor during this time, one might say he was missing in action. He had plenty of coworkers standings in the back area in front of the soda dispenser. He came to our table at 25 after and said it would be another 10-15 minutes before he could start the guac, and did we want it. 45 minutes for tableside quac? No. The tableside guac cart did not move the entire time we were thereabd one guy used it one time to make quac and then took it to a table I could not see. If you know Los Dos, that cart never collects dust, they are know for thier tableside guac; it is normally always in service. PATHETIC!!!! None of us will ever be back. We may not patronize the original location at Holly or Kipling and C470 again. This is NOT the Los Dos the family started years ago and that we fell in love with. Sad and pathetic! I heard they have a new bartender at the Holly location and the margaritas are aweful. Go to Caddy Snack Cantina, great service, food, drinks, and much better prices. And you aren't run out after having just at down. I gave this one star as the food was fine. Not great, but edible. Marcus was awful!!!!!

    We are new to the area and had to try this place because it's also so crowded!…read more We were not disappointed! We got a table within 10 minutes despite it being pretty packed at 7 pm on a Tuesday. We started with the El Minero cocktail which was great as well as esquites and the salsa trio. The Macha salsa is SO good! The esquites was also really good. We ordered a carne asada taco, birria taco, and chicken enchiladas suizas and enjoyed all of them! The carne asada taco was the least exciting so we would probably try something else next time. Overall, a great dinner, we can't wait to go back

    Date night in Arvada. Old town has a lot of options. This place was packed on a saturday…read more Let's talk about service. First impression of the server was great. Personable and attentive. He was awesome all night. Their drinks were some of the best in the city. I had a paloma, wife had the casa marg. Both were very fresh tasting. For mains I did some tacos, and she did the enchiladas both ways. I was very disappointed by the Birra Taco. The shell was not a traditional birra shell. It was just some cheesy short rib in a regular street taco corn tortilla. They were all on the same soft tortilla. Maybe because they are 100% gluten free for everything. The lack of gluten really held back the tortillas from being very traditional or very good. The carnitas taco had great flavor. It lacked any crispy bits that separates carnitas from pulled pork. But the flavor was there. The enchiladas were stuffed with chicken. Great flavor for both ways. Creamy jalapeno was the winner. Overall the ambiance was exciting but a bit too loud. It didn't quite require yelling to have a conversation with someone next to you. But definitely a lively atmosphere.
