Been here twice now. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I like the atmosphere and the cute cozy feeling you get with the booths and the bright color paint and the decoration.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service both times was about the same, which was OK not outstanding,(but it's Fort Collins where nobody's really nice). Typical college kids in a rush. I really like the super thin crispy chips to start off with however, it took some getting used to the "hot," not just warm, salsa that they brought out to accompany it. I've never had hot salsa ever at probably 600 Mexican restaurants in my life. When I comes to the food, the chimichanga my buddy got was delicious, big and crispy and my blue corn tortilla enchilada with cheese was very good(needed 2/3) The rice and beans are OK. The beans are a little chunky for refried beans, but I thought that actually gave them a good texture. However, the rice was a little firm and wasn't my favorite. Not horrible by any means just not the style I like. I would consider this more New Mexican, Mexican style food, versus say Tex-Mex Mexican. Lunch special prices were very reasonable and were smaller portions than I probably would've preferred but that's OK. Overall, I'd say I'd come back. I'll just have to ask next time if they have a different hot sauce or salsa that's not hot cooked to go with the chips since the chips are so delicious. Recommended. read more

One of the first Mexican spots I ate at in town. Really good food at small prices. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice, homey, non-chain decor and atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Just right to take a friend and have a good conversation, maybe walk to ARC for a bargain next door. Staff treated you well and easy on the custom orders. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place could use a spiffing up (as of mid-2025), but let's keep it in the neighborhood.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

My family ate out at tortilla marissas last week. First time in I dont know how long. Many many years. The restaurant was clean, cute and comfy. It was quiet on a saturday night. Our server was friendly and knowledgable. She was also very attentive. We had some questions on the menu as is always the case when i try somewhere new. The corn chips are gluten free. The corn tortillas are gluten free. I ordered some fajitas minus the cheese and sour cream to make it vegan. My daughter who is vegetarian got some stacked enchiladas with some kind of cream green chili sauce. The traditional green chili has pork in it. The refried beans are vegetarian. We all really enjoyed our meal. Everything was so tasty and the portion size was good. The only part we did not really enjoy was the salsa that came with the chips. It just wasn't as good as some other places we have been. It was fun to realize we have another choice for a night out. read more

Best frozen margs in town! We love Fajitas For Two on Mondays. It comes with a heapin' helping of steak, peppers and onions, with all the best toppings as well.

The salsa and chips were fresh and quite tasty. However, the salsa is served warm which I thought was a bit odd but it was tasty and the veggies in it were fresh and not soggy. I had a chili relleno and a cheese enchilada. The relleno was not as crispy as I'd like it but it wasn't soggy or greasy and was delicious. The cheese enchilada had the right amount of cheese and the sauce is spicy and flavorful. The tacos are seasoned well and have a generous amount of filling. The shell of the taco was very fresh but did not fall apart. The refried beans were real beans and not the reconstituted beans you find in too many restaurants. They are made fresh, seasoned well and quite tasty. The house margaritas are good and very strong. Service was excellent. There was only one man waiting the tables. He was friendly and very efficient. However, more attention needs to be paid to the cups. We got a cup that was chipped and should not have been used. read more

My wife and I ate at TM's again today, and it was better than ever! I had the "Arroz con Mariscos" for $16.99. The menu description is: "Grilled seasoned salmon or shrimp served atop a bed of rice with either Roasted Pepper Cream Sauce or Tomatillo Sauce and fresh guacamole." I had it with the Roasted Pepper Cream Sauce, and it was just dee-lish-us!! The salmon was perfectly seasoned (a little spicy, a little tasty), and it came out sitting on a bed of brown rice, piping hot, topped with a ball of fresh guac. I dove in immediately while my wife started on her usual Sunset Burrito. The menu describes it like this: "Sunset Burrito $13.99/+ Artichoke con queso and refried beans inside a flour tortilla and topped with a choice of sauce and melted cheeses. Served with southwestern rice. Steak, Carnitas (Spicy), Chicken, Beef, Portabella Mushrooms $15.99" She got it w/portabello mushrooms, as usual, and said it was as tasty as ever! We both took about half of our serving home, because the portions are just HUGE! They have changed it since the picture I found online. Today, it came out big and round. My wife could probably not put her hands around it even if she had wanted to. If you haven't been recently, put your paper down and head down for supper. You will NOT regret it! read more

We eat out 2-3 times a week and this was bar far the worst food we have ever had, ever. Started with the queso - just awful. Took a few bites between us and the aftertaste was hard to describe - but never had anything with cheese taste like it wasn't actually cheese - it was just ... weird. Then came the enchiladas, fajita "steak," and rice. Again just awful. The steak wasn't any type of meat I have ever had before - it looked like a Salisbury steak you used to get in school cafeterias - but not nearly as good. The rice was bland, but probably the only thing I could have finished. The enchiladas were again an a very very odd tasting cheese - anything but Mexican flavor you'd expect. The other thing, we ordered was the nachos and again after a couple of bites - you just had to stop. We have never walked out after a few bites but simply had to - we paid in full and left. Funny thing was the waitress didn't even seem that shocked when left a table full of food uneaten and she asked why and we told her it just wasn't good. On a positive note - the waitress was very nice and friendly. read more

Ordered enchiladas. Simple meal. Very bad, tasted like warmed up burnt, Two day old chicken pieces, cheap cheese. Tacos very mediocre. Black beans scraped off bottom of pan. Stuck together. Sweet waitress. Need a new chef and new customer service at front. Love the decor! Love supporting local but sure we will go back read more

Service was worse than I remembered the last time I swore off Tortilla Marissa's. We never recieved water or menus in the 10 minutes we sat in a sticky booth. When we walked out the manager looked right at us and didn't speak a word. Super friendly.....I can't speak to the food as we never got the chance to order. Based on the ambiance of the restaurant, I wasn't missing much. I keep hoping it'll close and something good will replace it in that location. STAY AWAY AT ALLL COSTS. JUST TERRIBLE. ​ read more

Chill :) nice salsa. Helpful hostesses. Spacious. The food was a no. Cooks you can make good food there's YouTube Mexican recipes to read watch listen and learn from. Using no spice other than cayenne isn't good food. read more

We decided to order delivery after seeing them pop up here on Yelp. I ordered through the Yelp app, which worked well except for one issue. I was not informed of an additional $5 fee for ordering through grub hub (on top of almost $5 delivery fee). I'm glad the restaurant was friendly with me as I worked through the issue with GrubHub. So, word of warning, double check the fees and call immediately if you have concerns. Anyway, onto the food! I particularly enjoyed the Yucatán soup with lime and sour cream added. I ordered the Shrimp Quesadilla and it was delicious! Good amount of crispy charred shrimp with cheese and guac. The mango salsa was a great mix of spicy/sour/sweet, I ate it like a side dish and not as a topping for the quesadilla. My partner ordered the Number 8 and was very happy with the variety and amount of food. We'll be ordering from Tortilla Marissas again in the future! Thanks! read more

The best Mexican food around! It's a hefty drive for us, so we occasionally try other Mexican restaurants, plus we eat Mexican whenever we travel. When all's said and done, this is the place that keeps us coming back. It offers a warm, casual atmosphere, incredible food (with lots of vegetarian options!), and super-friendly service. Even if things aren't perfect during a visit, we know it was still better than having gone elsewhere. You just can't beat the food, service, and warm vibe. read more

The tea was good. Chips were good. For a place called tortilla I expected fresh. They taste like discount grocery store tortillas. The steak fajitas were fatty and had some nasty sauce on them. Rice -taste like it was out of a 90 sec pack. Tacos nasty $38 with tip for LUNCH. 90% on table when we left. read more

Every time my boyfriend and I come in here we always get Shawn as our server and he always delivers great service. The salsa and chips are delicious. I got the fajitas for the first time and the steak was great! Amazing place to eat and great dessert options. read more

The 5 stars go to the Avocado Tacos. I took one bite and I fell in love. I've never seen a taco option like this before with the fried avocado! I added steak for just 1.50 more. Our server suggested getting them Baja style and I'm glad I did! They were soooo tasty. For dessert, we got the sopaipilla to share and it was big enough for 4 people! It was delicious. You can't be a Mexican restaurant unless you have good margaritas. Tortilla Marissa's definitely does them well. You can get the classic or a flavored one. The classic are only $2.50 during lunch! The service was good and we felt very taken care of! We were sat right away, our server was nice and friendly, and our drinks were always filled. We loved Tortilla Marissa's! read more

Tortilla Marissa's - Avocado Tacos w/ steak - Mexican Near Me - Fort Collins, Colorado

The food is pretty awful but I'll give it a 2 for an amazing, friendly server! There's nothing fresh about the salsa they give. I asked for medium steak for my fajitas, steak was completely well done. If you know nothing about Mexican food it may be okay, but someone who has ate authentic Mexican food, this place falls really short read more

This place has REALLY gone downhill. It used to be one of my favorite Mexican joints when it had the original owners but man it was horrible today. All of the food was basically un- edible. Cheap meats, microwaved food, horrible flavor and overall just greasy. The place is filthy and everything was sticky . We couldn't even finish our margaritas! read more

This place used to be my favorite white and cheap mexican food place in fort collins. Now it isnt. I think they got a new cook. Everything I would get here would taste good. I used to like the nachos and now they arent loaded like they used to be, they are soggy, not much cheese, they put their wet salsa on their and also alot of wet black beans and this makes them soggy, also they are always overcooked. Not really my go to place anymore sad to say. read more

Maybe my problem started by ordering take-out instead of eating inside? The takeout containers were pressed cardboard instead of foam -- good job in concept. But the closed containers acted like steamers in the time it took for delivery, so the fresh tomatoes in the street tacos were cooked to mush and the tortillas fell apart in shreds. I ended up just dumping everything into a pile and eating it with a fork. But the real shortcoming of the street tacos was a liberal inclusion of chopped green chilies and strong onions. It was right at the edge of too spicy to eat. Please... you can add chiles on the side and I can munch them if I like the spiciness, but if you chop them and put them inside, how can I regulate the spice level? Maybe a different chile choice might have helped, too. We also got chips and salsa. The chips were unusually thin and well salted. Again, the salsa was very spicy. I expected and enjoyed spicy when I lived in El Paso and traveled in New Mexico. Done right, it adds to the food experience. I guess my mouth just isn't ready these days -- like made of boot leather. Still, there are some very interesting and less common choices on the menu, so YMMV from mine. read more

Honestly, we arrived in Fort Collins today after a long day in airports. We perused the menus provided by our hotel And Tortilla Marissa's seemed to be just what we were looking for. We were going to get our meals for take out but decided to say and glad we did. Enjoyed some amazing food, cold beer, and had we done take out, we would not have seen the order of dessert nachos go by. Yes, we ordered and had an amazing dessert and fresh, hot coffee. Would recommend in a heartbeat!! Staff was more than accommodating, professional, and friendly. read more

Great margaritas! Salsa was mediocre, definitely could be spicier! Food was great. I had the chili relleno dinner. Rice was really good. Our server Sean was very friendly and the service was great! read more

Been coming here for 30 years. Cannot say enough about the quality, freshness, friendliness of this second home!

The worst food I have ever eaten, even my husband said it was horrible, rice tasted like it was a 90s microwave rice, we didn't even take more than two bites of our food the Queso had the worst after taste. Not sure what is up with the restaurant but it's horrible!! read more

Move to Wyoming two years ago from California " San Diego " we took a day trip to Fort Collins and had lunch here. It was the best Mexican food I have since leaving CA. I would make the trip just for lunch/dinner. The staff was the best. If you are in Fort Collins CO. A must eat. I had steak fajitas. read more

Best service and food, I love this place, I always feel at home. Mike, Sean and Ashley are always the best.

My husband and I ordered the sopaipillas for dessert and it was a warm, pillowy goodness served with cinnamon ice cream.

Delicious relleno's!!! Excellent service! Thank you tortilla Marissa's...we will be back!!! read more

Despite living in this town for almost as long as Tortilla Marissa's has been open, I hadn't ever tried it until recently when a friend chose it for her birthday dinner. Now I'm wondering why I have avoided it for so many years. Admittedly, Tex-Mex isn't my favorite style of Mexican food, but it is what it is and for what I know about the style (not much) I thought the things we tried were executed fairly well. So almost immediately upon arrival, a big basket of chips and salsa came to the table. I liked that the chips were very thin and crispy, and the salsa, while not spicy, was tasty enough. Even better, though, was the artichoke con queso. It had a great spicy kick (though one of my dining companions -- a Tortilla Marissa's regular -- commented on how spicy it was that night, so maybe I just lucked out) a lovely creamy texture, and lots of artichoke chunks. The artichokes were a little overwhelmed by the spice, but I enjoyed them nonetheless. For my entree, I tried the much-touted chile rellenos -- and yes, chile rellenos are the "standard" by which I judge Mexican restaurants. I would rate Tortilla Marissa's as A-OK ... not the best I've had, but nowhere near the worst, either. I prefer rellenos with a light, airy egg white batter, so the beer batter seemed a bit heavy to me (but way better than the breaded coating you will sometimes encounter). Also, for my taste, the cheese-to-chile ratio was slanted a bit too far toward the cheese. I should have chosen one of the meat stuffings, perhaps. Rice & beans were sort of meh, but how often do you actually get good rice and beans? Service was great, ambiance festive, food pretty good. A nice dining experience, all in all. read more

Great food with big portions. Good margaritas. Always have had quick service from friendly staff. One of the better Mexican places in Fort Collins! read more

We had the best server ever. Extremely attentive her name was Shauna, or at least that's the name on the bill:) great service. BUT food was not it. We got carnitas, enchiladas and chips and guac. Tasted like there was mystery meat in the carnitas. We guessed chicken. Enchiladas had the same mystery meat. The guac tasted bland. overall the service was great but the food was a waste of money. read more

I hadn't been here in years! A friend invited me and said that this restaurant was under new management and that I should give it another try. I'm glad I did. The food is made fresh to order and is flavorful. The fresh salsa they serve with the chips is unique in that it is warm. The ambience is quaint and inviting. The food is more Tex-Mex but is tasty. They have an extensive menu with tacos, burritos, enchiladas, rellenos, fajitas, as well as steals and seafood platters. The cheese dips and appetizers are great as well. We had flautas, chile rellenos, and avocado tacos. All were tasty and very filling. The table next to us ordered the super nachos which where enough to feed 10 people! The spices and flavors are excellent and the prices are affordable. They have a two for one special on fajitas all day Monday's. The desserts are really good and filling. We had the fried ice cream and sopapillas. read more

Thanks for being open for takeout during the virus. We stopped there to order our favorite chile rellenos in town and were not disappointed! Mike took our order, payment via our credit card, and brought our order with gloves and mask to our car. We truly appreciate the great quality of your food and the friendly service we always receive. Thanks team! We will be back again and again! read more

I love me a good meal at Tortilla Marissa's! They have great food and great atmosphere, and I always see the parking lot full when driving by. I started going to Tortilla Marrissa's a while back, and their food has never disappointed. I ALWAYS get the make your own combo meal, and it's always a great pick. This option gives me a choice of almost half of their menu, just smaller quantities. I HAVE to say that you need to try the Portabella Mushroom burrito as part of the make your own combo. It doesn't say it on the menu, but you can switch up your burrito to almost any of the options that they have. And their portabella mushroom burrito is KEY to a happy tummy. I also always order a chile relleno (crispy of course) and mmm mm definitely a great choice as well. The atmosphere is always great, and they have a good happy hour special on margs. read more

Very slow service and I ordered an Arnold Palmer and it came back pretty clear like water. No lemonade taste what so ever I asked the manager if maybe their lemonade was out and he looked at me and said no very rudly. He came back with another Arnold Palmer and said nothing was wrong with their lemonade. It was still weak they just put in a bit more ice tea for color this time Have been going to this restaurant since it opened on the 80's. Last few times it has gone down hill. Sorry to say I probably won't be back. There are way better restaurants now in FOCO read more

Wish I can give a 0 star. When we first got there, we got two glasses of water which had green floating stuff in it. We asked for new water and the kind waiter gave us some and apologized to us! However, the manager- Mike -had other ideas for us. He brought out our food, and stuck his thumb in my sour cream. His words were "ha oops". He turned around to walk away, so I stoped him and asked if I can get a new sour cream. He rolled his eyes snatched the sour cream from us and walked away. Whatever he may have been having a bad day? It happens. While I waited for my new sour cream, I notice how dusty the windowsill was. Next thing you see is a dead bug being tossed around by a fly. Look over to the other window, and see a piece of shredded cheese. Does not look like they do their daily cleaning lists. Also, the booth I was sitting in was broken. Whenever you reached over the table to grab some chips, I about got flung out of my seat! Super unsafe. When I brought it up to the manager - Mike - he threw my card at me, threw the receipt book at me and walked away once again. read more

What a fantastic night! Skylar was our waitress and she made the whole experience! She was witty and hilarious!

This place had great service, and very nice people, but the Mexican food was probably the worst option in town. Been to many places across Fort Collins, and this place, while very friendly, just didn't seem to have food that was appealing at all. Kind of sad for the cute environment they have but the food just didn't live up to expectation read more
