This place is amazing. Being a local, I appreciate family owned business and you can tell they strive for excellence and bring quality of food, and excellent taste. I knew as soon as my Spanish rice and refried beans arrived I was in the perfect place. Ordered the chile rellenos with habanero green chile, chef kiss. One of the best Mexican dishes I’ve had in CO. Chelsie, was on it from the moment we walked in. Took care of us and everything we needed. Priceless these days. Highest recommendation; cannot wait to come back.

Multi generational customer, I have never once been disappointed here. They treat you like family and feed you even better. Love this place and the hard working people who have kept it around for so long and particularly to Danea who made my last visit extra fun. Can't wait till next time!

I regularly meet here with my Dad (his favorite Mexican restaurant). A Tacarito each is our standing order. It's basically just a large, smothered burrito, but they do it well. Service is always on point.

This whole place is amazing from the food to the drinks I've been coming here for years with all my family and the food is just so fulfilling and their green chili is soo good. I always leave here super full because I can't help but eat everything. Never a disappointment plus the staff is super friendly. Annika was my server today and her sisters are just as amazing as she is. They always go Above and beyond

Excellent Service and food! I had ordered the shredded chicken Chimichanga, but without lettuce. My family’s food came out, but our server was hesitant to serve my Chimichanga, as the kitchen had cooked the cheese too long. Our server actually explained the situation to me ,she was adamant it was not acceptable, but did offer to bring it out if I wanted. She and the Manager told the kitchen to make another Chimichanga . They were so sorry for the mistake and the manager Paid for my Chimichanga. Our food was excellent! I have never tasted such moist flavorful Chicken in any Mexican Restaurant ! Top Notch Service, Atmosphere and Food. A Perfect Score in my book Mexican Inn! Thank You So Much!
