The chips & salsa but, specifically the cabbage salsa, are enjoyable staples. The tortilla soup is also a must have. Sometimes, I just grab the soup plus chips & salsa. I like the soup because it's hearty and full of fresh ingredients. This time we enjoyed tostadas, street tacos, & green chile stew along with the standard refried beans & Spanish rice. And we didn't forget the alcoholic libations, rounding it out with margaritas and Corona. There are no complaints here. The food is always on point. The restaurant itself is always clean, welcoming, & prepared for a good time. The staff are always friendly & attentive. I also enjoy the entertainment playing in the screens & the nights with the mariachi. They are available on the food delivery app, too.

I'm always searching for a place that offers breakfast burritos, green chili, and a broader meat option for breakfast. After my dual personalities finished their wrestling match over choosing the food available to prepare at home (btw Da Big Spenda won the match), I made my way to Tacos La Morenita. I walked into a dimly lit, clean, organized place with futbol on the tv, music playing, and staff gathered near the bar. I was greeted immediately and requested a menu since I couldn't quickly locate what I was looking for on the LED-lit menu on the wall above the register. On the menu, I saw the breakfast burrito allowed for non-traditional meat to be added to include chicken which always brightens my heart to see (Ms. Piggy shouldn't still dominate breakfast foods & we don't all consume beef regularly). I decided to order a breakfast burrito with asada beef (my arteries were craving excitement), green chili inside. The wait was around five minutes for a freshly prepared burrito with a side of salsa verde. When I returned home, I opened the burrito and took my first delicious bite. :O:O ... How delightful! The inside was nicely gooey with the green chili and cheese inside. The eggs were fresh and hot. The asada was chopped more finely than I'm used to in a breakfast burrito which was pleasantly surprising as they meshed very well with the shredded potatoes which are my Favorite style of potatoes in a breakfast burrito. Then...the Salsa Verde... Everyone around here does their version of this salsa. I'm rarely satisfied with it. Many are just a very liquid, not very flavorful, small to mid 'pica' in my existence. I was expecting the same here. I noted the difference in appearance and texture right away when opening the container. Yes, it's green. Yes, it's salsa but it had more substance than most I've encountered around Denver metro. More similar to restaurant style. The seeds were also more plentiful as if it was a freshly made batch. I drizzled a bit on a corner of the burrito and took a bite. :O:O:O...The dance of flavor on my tongue made my booty wiggle. This salsa is seriously a standout. It is milder but what it lacks in spice it makes up for in flavor. I mean, I would be interested in purchasing jars of this salsa just like I do from Yolanda's Tacos. As I stated, I'm sad I've waited so long, passing this place time and again, without trying it all these years. Now, that I know what it's been hiding, I will definitely visit again for the breakfast burritio but look forward to exploring the rest of the menu, as well.

TL;DR Serviceable food, shady pricing, do not recommend…read more After some errands off Yale Blvd, we wanted tacos, so I looked for new spots along the route home and found La Gaviota on the map. Didn't check reviews before ordering, just the menu. I'm fluent in Spanglish and had no communication problems from the lady taking orders and apparently running the show. No attitude either. She seemed friendly and deliberate. I'm also not a xenophobe. Go figure. She didn't have any change in the register (see other reviews), but spotted me a few pennies. Gracias. One reason we picked La Gaviota was variety. We sampled asada tacos along with a gordita adovada and a pupusa with asada and cheese. Regardless of shell, each item did the trick. My favorite was the pupusa, but again, there were neither slouches nor standouts. After looking at the "menu" link on their webpage, I smiled at the prices. It was like hitting Federal Blvd in 2011. $1.89 for a taco? Yes. I chose to call instead of ordering online. Didn't look at the online order link. Big mistake. The prices charged me match the "online ordering," not the menu. They're much much higher. The website menu says $2.99 for a gordita adobada. Online ordering and my price? $6.31. More than double. Unacceptable. There are no prices posted on the restaurant menu boards to break the tie. Good thing I had some extra bucks. My total surprised me. It was not quoted me at the time of ordering. Seamless. I won't go back, even if the food is ok and Hanlon's Razor may object. One star.

Fan-f*king-tastic in the best way. I love spicy food (level hot at the neighborhood Thai is nice so this is not that in heat), but this Mexican place knows the balance of spice to flavor. The food was spicy for normal people (ie enjoyable flavor without nose running for my friends) but also made exactly correctly. Enchilada dipped and filling simmer and then smothered in red. Relleno crispy or soft meant they know the difference and fully stuffed with cheese and smothered in green. Flavor was amazing. I ate the whole thing for lunch. No regrets. No regrets the next day.

If you're charging Cadillac Margarita prices, the drink should actually contain the ingredients that make it a Cadillac Margarita.
