It is OK. Really 3.5 stars. A friendly welcome from the owner on a Saturday afternoon. Started with chips & salsa. The salsa was thin, but picante. Guacamole was good, but expensive for a small portion. I had a Chimichanga (carnitas). It was average. Not crispy, deep fried. Overall the food is just OK. That is why 3.5 stars. + Colorful dolls and murals for creating a warm "Mexican" atmosphere + Music - Mexican +/- Lighting - some at 5000K and some at 2700K - Flatware - Qualite dominion, cheap - Paper napkins $158.18 for lunch for 6 (inc tax & tip) read more

Really good, obviously homemade Mexican food with friendly service! Nicely done, simple and welcoming atmosphere in a former fast food restaurant. Our entrees were above average and the "small" margarita was HUGE! Definitely recommended. read more

In a town with a lot of Mexican restaurants, Mi Tierra Caliente stands out as one of the best. The food is authentic, tasty, reasonably priced and served promptly. The Chicken Mole was delicious. Extensive selection of well-made Tacos. The owners will customize any meal to make it just the way you want it. On a recent take-out order, the owner was engaging and humorous, offering a quick shot of tequila while I waited. This family run small business is doing it right. Can't wait to return for another delicious meal. read more

The good reviews aren't lying! I kept seeing all these amazing reviews and thought it had to be too good to be true! I am here to say that the good reviews are accurate and I can't wait to go back! The only downside was that when my husband and I went, the only open seats were at the bar! The food was so good and the service was very friendly. read more

OMG! Love that this restaurant is conveniently located on 64th & Sheridan. Minus bullet holes in the windows, it feels like a cozy neighborhood spot. Great service. Few number of parking spaces out front. Came here with a friend and got a smothered carne asada burrito. SOOO freaking yummy, as was the Tierra Caliente Margarita (with spicy tamarind) that I need to get more of next time. Perfect meal I hope to have again soon! read more

The menu price of fajitas is 17.95 and he said it a little more than that, they were 21 each on receipt. The chicken fajitas had very little chicken - was a pile of onions with a couple bell peppers and a couple of chicken strips. Tasted fine. But for 21 bucks plus tax and tip you're paying 27 bucks+++ for one normal/small size fajitas. The food was fine overall, but this to me is not really acceptable for a hole in the wall type place. 2 adults and a kid spent 90 bucks all in, with no apps or anything really extra. One drink each. I won't be going back. read more

Delicious breakfast tacos, pozole and huevos rancheros. Looking forward to eating here again. Friendly staff and authentic food. read more

This is hands down the best Mexican food (and margarita) I've ever had. Period. End of story. Check it out!!!!

This was my 3rd time at this place , used to be good, today service was horrible we noticed new faces and the food quality is not what it used to be , It's a shame that we had this bad experience at this place cause it's to close to our house food look Great but the chicken was super cold inside and the veggies were burnt I don't know if we are coming back. They also are offering a discount if you give them a 5 review... read more

Great food, friendly staff, really recommend this place it's one of my favs in the neighborhood. The morisqueta is my personal favorite.

In one word, disappointing. We had arrived in Arvada earlier in the afternoon after traveling from Chicago. Dropped off our gear at our AirBnB and chose Mi Tierra Caliente taking a chance on the mixed reviews that had been written. This restaurant is in a part off Arvada that might be viewed a sketchy, particularly from Chicago standards. Particularly when the restaurant warns you with a sign in the window, "Park at your own risk." Aside from that concern, the staff is far from confident that they know how to run a restaurant. the place is not large, so the lack of attention to the restaurant guests is noticeable. In addition to them goofing around behind the hostess station and our waitress apparently still learning her role is the restaurant. Now for the meal. The salsa that was served in watery and runny. It tastes like something out of jar they purchased at King Soopers We began our meal with the Shrimp Ceviche which is served with tortilla chips. It's not bad as a starter as it's a good opening to refresh your palette. With this I ordered a jalepeño margarita while my son Petar had a pineapple margarita. They were both well made drinks and quenched our thirst. Next when they brought. out our entre it was delivered sloppily. We needed to ask for silverware and they paid little attention to if we needed another beverage. This impacts how well your tip is going to be at the end. I had the Carne Asada Michoacána while Petar ordered the Carne Asada Taco's. They were both average at best. Not flavorful and just meh. Then when the bill came I had a reality check. I get that running a restaurant is not an inexpensive endeavor these days. But it needs to be commensory with the quality of what is being served. All these things combined made it a less than memorable meal. I wish I could recommend this restaurant but the vibe and the meal didn't meet the expectation I had walking through the door. I wish we had a chance to visit when the former owners were operating this place and agree with many others who are really critical of what this Mexican restaurant is today. Sadly missing on many fronts and I hope they can turn it around going forward. read more

It is such a shame this place was sold a little over a year ago and they have destroyed the original menu. It used to be our go to spot, we have attempted three different times to try it again, but each time significantly fails. The ceviche is watery, and they added corn to it. The salsa taste like it comes out of the jar. We appreciate the service is always kind, attentive, and nice but the food is subpar at best. They even now serve margaritas out of the big gimmicky Marg bowls where a margarita used to be handmade every order and served in a rocks glass. They took a menu that was thriving and full of flavor and completely stamped it with generic and cheap ingredients. While service is good, food is not worth it. read more

Delicious Tacos! Friendly owners and staff! Best shrimp taco I've had in Colorado! 10/10 Can't wait to go back and try the tamales and tostadas! They have veggie options too (which I love!) read more

Tequila Jalisco - Carnitas (pork) , Al pastor (pork), Carne asada (steak), and Camarones (shrimp) - Mexican Near Me - Arvada, Colorado

This Michocan restaurant opened exactly 1 year ago. I went after work yesterday. After reading a review in the Denver Post and Westword it was on my bucket list. It's a small neighborhood style place with booths and colorful artwork. They have a large parking lot. The menu is quite extensive with appetizers, soft tacos, plates, breakfast items, veggie options, a kids menu and desserts. They have a full bar with a large selection of tequila and mezcal. I got the cinnamon based horchata drink made with milk. I try to not drink alcohol during the week. I got 3 veggie soft tacos, a shrimp and a shredded chicken soft taco. The ingredients were prepared well with two soft corn tortillas underneath each taco. They served a green tomatilla spicy sauce to pour over the tacos. Chips & salsa were complimentary. For dessert, I got the cinnamon sugar churros with a sugar sauce and a large scoop of vanilla ice cream. There were several menu items that I have not seen on Mexican restaurants. So I will coming back to try them. They have no automatic service charge, so tipping is required. The waiter was nice and I spoke with one of the co-owners. read more

This place has the best Carnitas in all of the Denver area. Their food is delicious, but it seems that the new owners unfortunately let it fail and it closed. read more

Food was extremely bland and steak was overcooked and chewy, guy was nice but food was a big let down.

My go to. Best taco Tuesday in town and tacos. The shrimp and pastor ESPECIALLY . The best sizzles I've ever had on a fajita. The tortilla soup is the best I've ever had. The margaritas are far from weak. You just can't beat it. Quit wasting your time and come on in. FAFO in the best way possible. Cheers Diego is the man hands down. read more

Came for dinner on a Saturday night as we were craving some authentic Mexican food and we were not disappointed! The inside is clean, tidy, and welcoming. Cocktails were very good. I had the cadillac margarita and my SO had the paloma, both were very tasty. You could tell the marg was made with fresh ingredients and not just a bottled mixer. 5 stars for drinks! As for food, you are greeted with the standard basket of chips and salsa, which were excellent. The salsa was full of flavor with just right amount of heat. We finished it off in no time and our server graciously brought out another basket. For entrees, we decided to split an order of the quesobirria tacos and an order of the enchiladas suisas. Both dishes were excellent, but the quesobirria was phenomenal! I would absolutely get an order of these for myself next time. The enchiladas were also really good and were smothered in a delicious verde sauce and stuffed with carnitas, which apparently are the house specialty. Overall, we really enjoyed our visit and will definitely be coming back! I for one am so stoked to have an authentic Mexican restaurant in the area and can't wait to explore more of the menu! read more

Basic Mexican food. The menu is way smaller than a lot of Mexican restaurants but I was satisfied I ordered the house taco and a side of rice and beans and I got my salsa and chips and all is good quick service too read more

We were pleased to see how busy, bright and welcoming Mi Tierra Caliente was on a rainy, cold Sunday night. The food was fresh, hot and very good. The green chili enchilada Suissas were light and unusually good as were the enchiladas La Huanaca. The pasilla sauce was special. The owner takes care that all of his visitors are well taken care of and happy. The bar area is attractive. read more

My friend and I took a chance on this little gem of a restaurant. We were on our way to Skate City for the late adult session and wanted to grab a bite to eat close to where we were headed. We were greeted promptly by the friendly staff, seated quickly and ordered from an extensive food and drink menu. The food arrived and was fresh and delicious, along with the margaritas that were above and beyond what the normal "house margarita" would taste. We loved the upbeat and homey atmosphere and actually felt welcome to be there. Bottom line.. We will be back! read more

Stopped in on a whim. We were absolutely delighted with the food, drinks and the service. The fresh squeezed lime margaritas were very refreshing. My wife had some tacos that were top notch, sorry no pic. My carne asada burrito was a 9/10. The carne was fresh and not overcooked. It was also a portion for a normal human, not the burrito that is so big you feel sick after eating. And for once we had AMAZING service. We will absolutely be back. read more
