Savina's was a great choice while we were in town for a convention. We made reservations ahead of time, and it came highly recommended by a local friend--which always feels like a good sign. It's a solid Mexican spot with a lively atmosphere. The place was very busy, and the bar was packed, so it took a little while to get our drinks--but once we did, it was worth the wait. We ordered margaritas, and they were delicious and clearly made with fresh ingredients. I had the jalapeño margarita, and it definitely had a kick--in a good way. Just a heads-up for anyone who isn't great with spice. The food overall was good, and our waiter was super friendly, attentive, and helpful despite how busy it was. I'd absolutely dine here again the next time I'm in the area. read more

Savina's was great spot to check out in the downtown Denver area. The upscale vibes make this the perfect spot to grab dinner or margaritas with a group. The food was amazing as my wife and I got the fajitas to split. The warm handmade tortillas were delicious! The fajitas came with a spicy verde sauce that we couldn't get over. The restaurant overall was clean, inviting, but a little loud. I'm not too old so it didn't bother me, but just a note. Service was amazing and had no complaints there. read more

The good, the bad, and the not exactly ugly but certainly a bit weird. Good: very solid Chile verde, a virgin margarita that actually tastes like something, and a baseline salsa with a little heat. Decent carnitas too. Bad: First, service. Bro, when the first thing you do is come to my table and ask for drink orders (as expected), my margarita should not arrive at the same time as my meal. Second, margaritas. Both the house and the ostensible Cadillac (which tasted the same) lacked flavor and strength and salt on the rim. Like seriously, there was more salt on the kid's virgin than mine. Third, pricing X portion. I actually do not want a giant plate of rice and beans, I want to enjoy a smaller but good entree. But just generally, $16 for a cup of guacamole is nuts. I would mind not were the flavors stronger. They were not. We were at $60pp for a shared app, entree, 2 drinks each. That price point didn't match this quality. The weird: i have never had a chile relleno that was a chile wrapped in an egg roll wrapper with cheese and then dipping sauce on the side. Now, in fairness, i enjoyed it, and this might be a good way to make them at home, but I call this weird. read more

We came here on a Saturday night without a reservation and were able to walk right in but we also got there quite early at around 5. The service was great and the waiter routinely checked in on us. I ordered the enchiladas and got one chicken and one brisket and also half green chile and half red sauce. I liked the brisket better and the green chile was very flavorful. They also bring you unlimited chips and salsa and the chips come warm and fresh. It is more of an upscale Mexican restaurant and a good place for a couple people or even large groups. read more

Savina's - Enchiladas - Mexican Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Come here for the green chile and shredded beef (in burrito/enchilada/chimichanga/etc) and you're go to go for the whole meal. Other things are good too (guac, salsa, chips, beans, rice, chicken) but the green chile and beef are incredible. Can get pretty busy even on a weekday evening so food may take 20-30 min to come out, and parking is tough but there is paid street parking or garage nearby. Rustic vibes, on the fancier end of Tex Mex. read more

My coworkers and I went to Sabina's for lunch on a Wednesday afternoon which was formerly La Loma. This was my first time there and pleasantly surprised! The chips and salsa were fresh and very tasty. The wait staff was also very attentive. I ordered a mocktail along with their Acapulco Grilled Chicken Salad. Both were delicious! The portions were also HUGE so come hungry or be prepared to have leftovers. read more

This looked like a nice well decorated restaurant. The booths were very comfortable, they bring you good salsa and chips when you sit down. Service was a little slow even though it was late afternoon and not very busy, they were understaffed. Unfortunately, I couldn't recommend the food. I ordered the tequila shrimp, and while the rice and beans it came with were tasty the shrimp was overcooked and tough. read more

I think in transition of the rebranding, something was lost. This former Denver hidden gem felt soulless - our server was spotty, barely speaking to us, which maybe speaks more to being overcapacity. The food was basic, chimichanga not crispy nor flaky, filled with very plain brisket - which was tough. Same with the tortilla soup, it was okay, but the chicken was somehow dry and tough? Quality is okay, but this spot lacks the flare it once had. Come here for drinks and the green chili, the rest feels manufactured. read more

First time here with my partner. We came in around lunch time today and it wasn't very busy. Darkly lit, relaxed atmosphere. Our server was amazing, super sweet, great energy. She had been at the restaurant for 9 years and explained that some minor family mishap created the split and change in names of the place. Savina's Sampler: 4/5, good sample of their food options & green chile if you mainly wanted to try everything without committing to food with a lot of rice and beans. Good balance. Beef Brisket Chimichanga Combo (1 chimichangas with rice and beans instead of the specialty that came with two. Was quite full from the sampler). 3.5/5, the food is good, we got red chile instead of green to try it and didn't love it as much. Lots of rice and beans. read more

We visited this place for a work dinner and I was extremely impressed! The atmosphere was fantastic, walkthrough it was busy, the restaurant did not seem overly crowded while we were at the table. We reserved a spot for the group in advance and the staff set up a nice large round table for our moderate size group to dine at. We were able to interact with everyone throughout dinner. Every dish that came out looked fantastic - and mine was delicious. The portions were arguably too large - they were definitely plenty. Our office is near the convention center and we walked over here. I was a moderate walk, but easy. I've tried a lot of Denver Mexican places and this one stands out! I will defiantly be back on an upcoming trip into town! read more

Savinas is a must if you love Mexican food. We started with the guacamole. It was good, but not quite spicy enough. I had fajitas as the main. I did half shrimp and half chicken. They were amazing! Next time I am getting shrimp only. The fajita platter had three days worth of food on it! Just FYI. Our server was so good. He was quick with the margaritas, and really good about checking in. We were tucked into a quite corner of the restaurant. It felt like we were in a pueblo home. I absolutely loved this place. I highly recommend making a reservation through Resy, as it gets very busy. read more

I ate lunch with a group of 6 last week. Our server was quite professional and not warm & personable. Their green chili plate I ordered was just ok. I didn't particularly care for the taste of their green chili in spite of it being famous. It was served in a bowl with rice & beans and flour tortillas for $15. There were 3-4 chunks of pork in my bowl which turned out to be chunks of fat! Others in our group ordered enchiladas, smothered burritos etc. No one said their food was delicious. I must say the chips & salsa were very good. The restaurant is located right next door to the Navarre Building which houses the National Museum of Western Art which is wonderful. It's very handy to visit the art gallery and have lunch next door. read more

I loved La Loma. We made reservations in advance. The highlight was our wonderful server who was so friendly. We made it in time for happy hour and ordered the mini Chile rellenos. I was surprised when they arrived because they looked like egg rolls. They ended up being good, but they are essentially poblano poppers (instead of jalepeno poppers). I wouldn't get the full order if we had come during happy hour. A highlight was the virgin margarita. Since I don't consume alcohol anymore, I have missed a good marg and hesitate in ordering a virgin margarita because I don't want to just drink marg mixer. This was hand crafted and wonderful. We ordered chicken fajitas to split for our main course, and they were stellar. The homemade tortillas are divine. The green Chile, chef's kiss. Unfortunately I started feeling under the weather (probably because I struggled acclimating to the elevation), and they kindly got us out quickly so I could go back to the hotel and lay down. This place is a gem. read more

Elevated Mexican and New Mexican classics served in a shic atmosphere with a a gorgeous full bar. Grandmas Green Chile is rich, spicy, and full bodied. Definitely don't skip it. They make their own tortillas in house, soft, chewy, warm, and fresh. Just perfect! I'd go back just for the tortillas and Green Chile. I ordered the classic Green Chile Enchiladas and I will be dreaming of this dish for a long time to come. I finished the meal with a neat Tequila served with a plate of cinnamon and an orange slice. This was an incredible pairing that I didn't know existed before now! Holy cow!! The stuffed sopapilla was on another level. The tortilla was fried to a perfect golden crisp, and even when smothered in the Green Chile, it still retained its crunch. A masterpiece! Francisco our server anticipated our needs and was ready for us at every step. Parking was a bit challenging, but otherwise it was a perfect meal. read more

A coworker insisted this was the best Mexican food in all of CO. That's a big statement. I disagree. It was good but not earth shattering. I had the carnitas tacos. The meat was very good. Typical rice and beans on the side that you get at a Mexican restaurant that are always just meh to me. The place is huge. They start you with chips and salsa. I'd say a solid meal but not thee best. read more

La Loma made Westword's Top 100 Restaurant List in the Best Classic category so I decided to try it. Growing up in southern NM, I have certain standards for Mexican food that differs from my friends and the writers at Westword. The good: * Service was attentive * Generous HH 3-6pm with food & drinks * Decent salsa * Good skinny margarita * Hatch green chile used in green chile (which is delicious and has pork) * Homemade flour tortillas * Rice The not-so-good: * Mini chile rellenos app was more like a fired cheese egg roll (I couldn't taste the Anaheim green chile) * Plato Al Olivio (while a healthy option, lacked flavor; I added both the salsa and jalapeños to it to try to give it a boost as well as tried to squeeze some lime onto the dish. It lacked salt and seasoning) * Location (parking is limited; be sure to arrive early if you are driving your own vehicle and need to find a spot) * Restroom facilities (one stall did have an added piece of glass to restrict views but stall walls weren't very tall and there was an odd sewage odor) Overall, the others in my party enjoyed their food. It was ok for me. read more

Underwhelming. Was it bad? No, but would I say it was great? Also no. I must admit I'm not the biggest fan of Mexican food, but I was really hoping that La Loma would impress me. Unfortunately, it was quite generic and nothing that anyone at our table had was fantastic. It's definitely pretty basic Mexican food, not bad but just nothing to write home about. The service was good with super friendly staff and that truly helped elevate our experience. Ambience is fine - it's pretty generic and uninspiring, but I don't know what else you'd expect from a casual Mexican spot. If you're looking for Mexican food in Denver, I would definitely say La Loma is the place to come but as a non-Mexican food lover I don't think that I will come back. read more

Service was wonderful. Everything came out quickly. Our drinks were fast also, and tasty. Our waitress was delightful, as were all the staff. Our party of six was happy with their choices. Except me. I ordered the Loma Combo, an appetizer sampler. I have never seen a chile relleno that looked like a deep fried chimichanga. I could find no chile inside. It was filled with chicken. Pretty much exactly like the chicken flauta. No sauce. And the chicken fajita nachos...were the weirdest thing. No peppers or onions. Just a strip on chicken on top of two halves of a tortilla with cheese. This was all a surprise to me. I should have looked more closely at the Yelp reviews and photos . read more

I had this spot saved on Yelp to visit when in town. Cool spot, friendly staff and a nice restaurant. Now onto the service and the food itself... Service was slow, was not a busy time at all. Food was bland. Chips and salsa were good. I ordered the 3 tacos dish, and I was only able to eat one of em. Got the rest to go and tossed it. I was hoping to like this place. It reminds me of a Chevys chain restaurant. This is not authentic to me, coming from California having true authentic then having this was disappointing. Full disclosure, any place I visited to eat in Denver was not good at all, gotta be honest. read more

Our server made this experience! My husband and I love Tex- Mex style cuisine but were underwhelmed with the food and found it expensive for what it is. For example, a small appetizer scoop of guacamole was $16. It was fresh and tasty just seemed overpriced. Same opinion of our lunches which consisted of tacos and a quesadilla. Our server was great though and I wish I got his name! He was super friendly, attentive, constantly refilling drinks and chips and just a delight! The restaurant is beautiful and offers a nice patio for outdoor seating. Would visit again but maybe just for an app and cocktail. read more

So, I've lived in Texas for over 20 years and while some may say "that's just Tex-Mex," I'm still using that as context for what I'm about to say: this place served me the best Mexican food I've eaten ... in my life. Really very very good. The things I had that were fried were FRESHLY fried and therefore light and airy. Just terrific! Two small things - the chile relleno was friend deliciously, but had too much cheese in it, so a portion of it was congealed when it got to me. And, the lunch service was SO busy that we had to ask a few times for our drinks. No biggee - they were truly hopping when we went. read more

Good food, top notch service, made for a wonderful evening. Red salsa and chips were tasty - the chips were light and the salsa full of flavor. Complimentary tortillas and green chili came next. The tortillas were warm and soft. The green chili is cooked with a poultry or meat stock, and was served warm. Cadillac margaritas were traditional and served over ice. I got the cheese enchiladas with a complex green salsa which was fruity and on the sweet side. The black beans were a little on the watery side but good. The space is open with lots of space, well-lit, and comfortable. read more

Chips were crispy and salty, paired with hotter than normal salsa. The chicken nachos were hearty, served with fajita strip chicken. The anniversary plate was a big meal but overall very bland and parts were lukewarm. read more

La Loma is pretty close to our house so decided to give it a try. We were not really impressed with the experience. Our waitress was absolutely wonderful but that's where the good experience really ended. We started with an order of chile con queso which was perhaps some of the worst queso I've ever had. I made a comment to my partner that it tasted like homemade mac 'n cheese sauce (but not a well done one). Come to find out it's Monterey Jack and Velveeta melted down. For $12, not worth it. The fajitas for one was a good sized portion and the homemade tortillas were incredible. But we've never had fajitas with 1) onions only and 2) undercooked onions. Caramelizing them a bit would've made the fish much better. Overall we paid $70 with the tip and the meal was definitely not worth that price. read more

While in the area we came here for dinner one evening because I love green chili and reviews I read said they had great green chili here. Made reservations and were promptly seated. Service was outstanding, I believe her name was Keylen. She was very friendly, helpful and attentive. Their menu is loaded with many options, from tacos to fajitas, enchiladas, burritos, and many other Tex-Mex eats. We started with their guacamole and also their queso. The guac was great! The queso was bland, boring, and mostly just a melted orange cheese of some sort that was so bland. I split the standard size order or fajitas that came with chicken, beef, and shrimp - The shrimp was great! Huge, fresh shrimp! The chicken was decent, but the beef was also great! The items that came with the fajitas were great also! The refried beans were very tasty and the rice was nice. The pico was flavorful too. Overall, it was a decent visit, but the green chili I tried (which came with the fajitas) was barely just 'ok' Definitely didn't have the flavors, texture, spice I was seeking. I can say that the churros were amazing! Definitely worth stopping in, just not up to my expectations. read more

Well La Loma when you first moved into your new location you raised the prices and it was pretty steep, but now in the current climate your prices are right along par with every other Mexican restaurant in Denver, and with much better green chili. I had not been back in quite some time, but everything tasted just like I remembered. Boyfriend and I both finished all our food which is unusual. We loved every bite. We will definitely be back soon. Glad something's don't change (at least not too much). read more

Had try this quintessential Denver dish during my trip, and so glad I chose it for lunch! The atmosphere of the restaurant was cozy with warm lighting. It's very spacious. At 11:30 AM on a Sunday, there were a handful of people. People were already drinking margaritas and shots, so I had to get one as well. I got the Diablo margarita, which is their spicy margarita. Maybe it was because it was the first thing I consumed but it made me really tipsy--they do not skimp on the alcohol. I drank this while eating their chips and salsa, which were perfectly thin and crispy, and the salsa had a kick! I ordered the Grandma green chili plate. I wasn't sure what to expect because it looks like a salsa dip in pictures, but was also supposed to be a chili? When the food came out, it was a huge portion (compared to the bowl in photos)! The pieces of pork were extremely tender, like fall apart in the fork tender. The flavor was DELICIOUS. It felt like a tangy, spicy gravy. Since their flour tortillas are homemade, I opted for those. I really wish I had a larger stomach because it was all so tasty. I've had better beans and rice elsewhere but the tortillas dipped in the green chili and soft pork were total standouts. I was checked up on frequently, not even by my server, but by other staff. They were very friendly. All in all I'd recommend this spot! Looking for a green chili recipe for when I go home ASAP. read more

What I ordered: -La loma Combo [5/5] -Grilled Fajita- Mixed Grill [5/5] _ This was my first time visiting Denver, and I was on the hunt for some good green chile to try! After reading several recommendations, we decided to check out La Loma--and it did not disappoint. It was easily one of the best meals we had during the trip. We came during happy hour, and my partner and I enjoyed a margarita as well as the La Loma combo sampler to try a variety of appetizers. We also shared the fajita mixed grill plate, and despite not being heavy eaters, the portion was generous enough for us both. The complimentary chips and salsa were delicious as well. Our server was incredibly friendly, checking in regularly, which I really appreciated. The atmosphere was great, with options for table, bar, and outdoor seating. I highly recommend trying this restaurant if you're in Denver, and I'll definitely be back! read more
