7 Leguas Mexican Grille

7 Leguas has been on my list for a while and it did not disappoint. Super authentic, family run neighbor restaurant. We sat at the bar and enjoyed being transported to Mexico. I had the vegetarian enchiladas topped with mole, refried beans and rice. Absolutely delicious! Our only regret is not coming sooner. Looking forward to returning and trying more things on the menu.

This place did not disappoint!! The staff was wonderful, drinks were on point and the food came out quickly and was delicious!!!!! Valeria was waitress and she was amazing.

I've ordered 6 times from this place. EVERY time it has been great. They have the most authentic Pozole I have ever had including pigs feet (which are amazing). This is the only Mexican restaurant I will ever order from while I live in the Denver area. To the owners and staff: Thank you so much for providing outstanding food at reasonable prices!

Been through 11 surgeries in the last year I love ordering from here and the food does not disappoint Kicked the driver a little extra and he brought it straight to the room on the 8th floor Surgery 11 is done but I have three more to go, I’m glad there is an upside to my hospital visits Tonight’s meal is menudo, tacos de trips and paella

The food was good and the service was great! I think I am probably spoiled with some really great Mexican food from CA but it was still pretty good. Big plus to me is free unlimited chips and salsa! This place shouldn’t disappoint. It was 19 bucks for a 4 item combo plate, not a bad deal!

This is a spot we searched and found while visiting Colorado. I can say it was the best decision made. Delicious, seasoned and tasty food! Stop in and visit the outdoor dining is cozy and relaxing to enjoy your meal. The service is great and customer service is great! So glad we decided upon this place to have a great meal. It’s very feeling!

I really enjoyed this establishment. It has a chill laid back vibe, but also had some sports going on the screens. It was the best of both worlds as for atmosphere. The drinks were very creative and not lacking in the adult beverage department in any way. The food was very good also! I liked that you could get what you expect from a Mexican restaurant, while experiencing some new chef creations (spicy jalapeño sour cream on the burrito). The entire staff was very friendly and welcoming. This place is a must visit! Thanks for a wonderful evening!

Amazing food and drinks and every time I come here. I haven’t had a bad experience once and I’ve been coming for years. Esthela is the sweetest most helpful server ever. This has become my favorite restaurant of all time ! Keep up the good work guys.

The tacos were really good, they had great seasoning and the meat was juicy. I order delivery and they took less than 30 mins to deliver. Overall i give it a 8.5/10

This restaurant is a spectacular place to have lunch and dinner. My first time visiting was for lunch last year. I was impressed with the great service and the quesadilla. The drink that I purchased was delicious but was not a margarita. Unfortunately, I cannot remember the name of the drink. The second time coming here was for Cinco de Mayo, and also a celebration of myself, and my two friends. We all landed the jobs that we applied to. The ambience of the restaurant was very lively due to the Cinco de Mayo celebration. We had the house margaritas which were on special for the same price as a 12 ounce margarita but was 18 ounces. The margaritas were not as strong as I would have preferred. They tasted more like margarita mix than a well balanced drink. We shared the fajita combo. The combo had shrimp, chicken, beef, and I believe pork. It also came with a bowl of soup, Spanish rice, some sides, and tortillas. The fajitas were marinated to perfection. My friends loved my suggestion to come to this restaurant. We will all definitely be coming back again for the rest of the items on the menu.

This is a casual restaurant serving traditional Mexican fare (you can tell by the name) and margaritas in a lively festive atmosphere. The menu covers the staples; tacos, burritos, enchiladas, fajitas, etc. They also offer some vegetarian and vegan options. The plates I've ordered have arrived with fresh and flavorful ingredients delivered by a friendly wait staff. I've had the beef enchiladas with rice and beans and both the steak and chicken fajitas (love the tortillas). Tasty salsa with nacho chips to round it out. Good stuff. Easy parking.

This place is awesome. No frills ambiance but it has a nice patio and really friendly and attentive servers. We sat at the bar tonight (Friday) at 7:15. It was packed but we were promptly served a drink and the food took maybe 10 minutes. I had the Camarones a la Diabla and my partner had the Tacos Rancheros. Both were presented nicely and served hot and delicious. Two drinks and two entrees was $80. We spent $140 last week at Machetes so for us that's a steal.

Disgusting food. Filthy bathroom. Flies everywhere. Had the Bean and chicharrones burrito, one my favorite things on this planet and a good indicator on most Mexican places around town. Absolutely. Disgusting. The chicharrones alternated between rock hard and snotty. Both ends of the inedible spectrum. Told the waitress and explained my issue. She took it away but didn't waive the item. She "discounted" the inedible dish that I barely started, never mind finished. When I was leaving she suggested I order something else next time as though I'd never had such an "exotic" burrito that the majority of spots in town make. Insulting and patronizing. Not a great combo. Got my son's drink order wrong, no biggie on its own, but paired with the horrible burrito, and response to same, snd being surrounded by swarms of flies (what's the kitchen like?!) was incredibly off putting. Bathrooms were also pretty gross and my son remarked that the floor was sticky in a few spots as we left. This was my daughter's favorite restaurant, but she said her dish was off as well and never wants to go back. After months of begging to go there whenever we drove by. I'd eaten here for the better part of a decade and this was the worst experience I've ever had, but tracks with the overall trend of each of my meals. I won't be back.

This is a neighborhood restaurant with fairly run of the mill Mexican food. They offer a myriad of regional takes on Mexican food from the expansive menu. To note, they have some less well represented dishes, such as Chile Colorado. Interestingly enough, they also offer a California burrito. While my fajitas were good, the rice and beans are what stood out to us here. The rice was especially flavorful. I usually don't even bother eating the rice or beans. The tortillas and chips were serviceable but they weren't stand outs. The portion sizes were very generous. The service we had was outstanding. The seating is mostly cozy booths and a separate bar area. We like that they stay open later until 10pm during the week and they had a good amount of business at 9pm while we were there. So many restaurants close at 8pm now that eating out later is not an easy option anymore.

Mediocre pricey food Ordered a Chile verde and a veg burrito to go Both served wet which i cant stand Flavors were bland and forgettable Mediocre chips and commercial salsa Probably better to dine in

Holy crap! How have I been driving by forever but haven't stopped?! I know, I was stopped by the place down the street...lol. No more!! This place is AMAZING! Rosa and Estella are amazing bartenders!! Ask Rosa for her perfect marg, you won't regret it! Their Asada tacos are one of the best I've had in Denver! Fun music and vibe!!

After the restaurant closes, the night staff blasts obnoxious music from there trucks. It rattles the whole neighborhood, well after 10pm. I hope management will correct this behavior from their employees. It's so aggravating.

It's unfortunate to leave a 1 star review because I truly give most places the benefit of the doubt. Please consider this is a Uber eats order, which means I submitted the order myself and there should not have been room for mistakes. 1. However, I spent over $100 for take out, I ordered one asada chimichanga, one tamale, two enchiladas, a menudo, nachos and a side of guacamole and chips. 2. The presentation of my order was disgusting. We were excited to try this restaurant so we ordered a little of everything. I added a photo of my guacamole side, the portion was bigger than the chimichanga and enchiladas put together, why? I don't understand. I had to throw it all away because it all came with tomatoes lettuce and cheese, everything. 3. The chimichanga came with beef instead of asada, it was completely dry and had very little cheese on top. The amount of sour créeme on the salad portion was so gross and too much, added a photo here. 4. I received 4 bags of chips when I only ordered 1 bag. It is annoying to receive this much food and have to throw it away. 5. I ordered cheese enchiladas but instead I received chicken enchiladas, the cheese on top was not melted and the tortillas were breaking apart and super dry. 6. The tamale was so hard and cold, I didn't bother to take a bite. I hope who ever prepared my to go order last night 03/25/23 will be identified and the owner address this with them because it was not okay to spend over $100 and have to throw it all away except for the menudo. This outcome has downgraded the restaurant in general and I am hoping you guys make it better. It's important to serve your food in decent size portions, the food was so much and so gross since none of it was cooked the right way.

Authentic, and delicious! The beer was cold, the rice and beans were made fresh! I recommend the taco salad and ask for rice and beans on the side! Absolutely delicious! The ambiance was intimate too! Service was quick and treated us like family! I cannot recommend more!

Just have to say do not go here unless you liked to be drugged or get food poisoning. Some of the servers are very rude do not take care of there customers. I took a sip out of one alcoholic drink; got very dizzy & had to run to the bathroom and throw-up twice. That server, whatever her name was... put something in the drink to cause dizziness, headaches & sickness. Definitely going to report this to the restaurant bureau of investigation. Please do not go here!! Also side note please don't be doing drugs in the open like that as well. This place needs to be closed down ASAP.

Got take out from here on a Friday night. We got 1 order of steak fajitas and 1 order of chicken fajitas. Steak was better than chicken, but we liked sharing both! Came with rice, beans, etc and flour tortillas. Also came with a bag of chips (very good) and salsa (also very good, albeit a lot of onion). Total was just under $50 for two people, and we had some leftovers. We will be back!

We came for dinner and had the ground beef nachos, a tamale, and the alambre tacos. The tamale was pretty good and the nachos/tacos were delicious. Veryyyy strong margaritas. We got the large spicy jalapeño and they definitely delivered! We will be back soon!!

If you're looking for authentic Mexican food, then this is the place to go! The food was delicious and the service was awesome. The margaritas were pretty good, I have had better, but they were still good for a beautiful summer night. This was in my neighborhood so I could walk, but since it's on Colfax just be ready for it to be a little loud if you decide to sit outside. I still think outside is the best option on a nice evening or even for lunch.

My friend and I came by here and both got a seafood burrito covered in cheese, especially after the waitstaff affirmed choice after weighing a couple of options. Is this the most authentic Mexican place? Probably not. Is it still good? Yeah, sure. I was pretty stuffed afterwards, as the portions were pretty good. They do provide some chips and salsa as you get started, but didn't seem to refill it when we ran empty (not that we asked, but they didn't either). Getting a water refill was a bit difficult, sometimes hard to flag down the waitstaff when you're in the middle of conversation and what not. All in all, the food was decent with the combination of flavor, price, and portion size, but the service left a bit more to be desired.

I was next door Denver Key & Lock and asked if this place was any good. Tech said yup so I went straight over. Menu had a ton of options for the gringo and Chicano alike. They also have a bar but not a full bar, think dad's basement for the vibe. Decent amount of seating inside and out and they also have a parking lot in the rear. AC was blasting during my visit so that was tight. Both items I ordered were fantastic. The Nachos Supreme are exactly that, supreme. Probably not a good idea for a solo diner but I was starving and I have a big appetite so I powered through with room to spare. The Caldo de Res, what a masterpiece. Beef, carrots, cabbage, potatoes, green squash, corn, and some amazing broth. It's also served with a side of rice, which was perfectly seasoned. This is the meal. I will come back for this each time. It's very similar in flavor to a Filipino dish called Nilaga. It was exactly what I needed and exactly what I wanted. What a find...

Always my go too restaurant when I'm at work and craving some Mexican food. Convenient and great customer service too. But the food never fails, always on point. Since this is during my lunch I didn't have a Margarita or a drink. But trust me when I say their Micheladas are one of my favorites I'm Denver.

Wow! Don't let the exterior or location of this restaurant fool you. This place is legit and as good as it gets for some authentic Mexican food. We had an amazing lunch here. We decided to go outside the box and order a couple of items that we normally can't get close to home. We went with the Chicken Sopapilla Rellena and the Veggie Molcajete. The presentation alone of these two entrées had my mouth watering. Fortunately the taste matched, if not exceeded, the presentation. I've never quite eaten anything like either of these entrées. I've ordered Molcajete before in NJ, but it didn't taste anywhere near as good as what I had at 7 Legunas. If I was to come here again, I would order the exact same things again!

The food wasn't seasoned at all. Everything looked right but didn't taste like Mexican Food. Ordered in. They got that perfect, sauce on the side etc. I have to say I was very disappointed.

I love their food, service is good and friendly. It is far better than Coronas used to be. Ambiance is what Coronas was.

Very disappointing! Used to be exceptionally good. Too bad, so sad. Don't think we will ever go back. Place was almost empty, and that's not a good sign. Will wait until I see more complimentary reviews. Has anyone else eaten there in the last few months?

My amazing wife found this little local Mexican place on our ventures to support local businesses wherever travel takes us... The Good: Our waitress was very nice, although at times took her a while to get back to our table. The food, we ordered, was amazing!!! I had the Carne Adobade tacos which were plenty for a meal and had lots of rich flavor! Our son chose the Asada Chimichanga. He really enjoyed his very large portion as well. My wife and I had to try a couple bites and were equally as impressed with the flavor of his food. The 7 Leguas Alambre Tacos were my wife's choice and they did not disappoint either! Let's not forget the amazing salsa and chips, which were complimentary of the house!! The Bad: As mentioned above the waitress was great but a little pre occupied at times with other things. We were only 1 of 3 tables occupied at the time we dined there. My wife's tacos were supposed to have ham in them. We could not find any ham in her meat, did however have several hot dog chunks in it, very interesting substitute and not really thrilled about it... The Ugly Truth: This is a great and reasonable place for lunch and dinner alike. We sadly forgot to take pictures of the venue and food but the presentation was very good! Our delicious food (with the hot dog exception) made it worth the 40 minute trip to eat here and if we can't decide on a new place to try when we are back in the area this will be one of our top choices to eat.

Incredible menu with a huge variety of dishes, well beyond typical tacos and enchiladas. Drink menu is equally expansive and have yet to have a weak pour. Service is knowledgeable and friendly.

Good service, great food. Happy heart warm belly. Would definitely bring friends that want authentic food.

Nothing that stood out upon initial appearance, but while the inside was cozy, the ambiance was great! The food was authentic, I had Barbacoa and Alambre tacos and they were amazing!! The service was good although she acted unsure of us, but they changed the tv close to me for me and took care of us! Definitely would make another trip when we're down to Denver again!

I probably won't be ordering from this place anymore. I used to love their menudo, but recently, not only did they raise their prices, but they no longer use honeycomb tripe. They are now using a cheaper quality of tripe, which is visibly obvious and the texture and taste are dramatically affected. Not good.

let me just say the 45 minute drive was definitely worth it . The food and drinks are amazing ordered the 7 leguas parrillada for 2 and it was more that enough , even had leftovers to go (loved the fact that they have spicy salsas is kind of hard to find a restaurant that has the good salsas Or peppers ) Not only is their food delicious but their service is amazing .HUgo offered a great service since it was our first time there offered recommendations was attentive to what we needed... (7 leguas you a have a great employee )

Had a crave for Mexican food, wasn't sure just what until I looked at their menu. I was enticed by the fajitas platter. It comes on a metal platter That has a constant flame to help keep your food hot. It's also adjustable which is also handy which allows for control over the temperature. The fajitas come with a 6 bottle bucket of mini coronita beer. It was definitely worth the $50 for 2 people. Served with a delicious side of flavorful beans and tender rice for 2. To my surprise there was also queso fundido on top and stayed hot the entire time due to the adjustable flame. This is the "Colmalada De Fajita's "steak, shrimp and chicken platter. I highly recommend trying this dish or restaurant when you have a Mexican food craving as their menu is quite extensive.

Overall, an average place. The menu was extensive with pages and pages of options, traditional and with a twist. The servers were friendly and prompt. The margaritas were all made with margarita mix that wasn't great. No skinny options or fresh juice substitute for the mix. The food came out quickly and the flavor was just ok. I got shrimp and steak fajitas and it was a huge portion. Steak was a little rubbery. I might ho back again but i would try something else.

Food was amazing, drinks were good and service was fast and friendly ! I will be back.

I have eaten here a couple times, but today was SO disappointed. My $13.99 margarita tasted like a mix. We ordered the queso (which was delicious when we ordered before); it's listed on the menu that it has mild jalapenos, which is how we remembered it. When it came, it was so full hot jalapenos, we couldn't eat it. We told the waitress and asked if we could have one less spicy, as listed on menu. She came back and told us no because the chef makes pre-made batches of the queso and wouldn't make us another. Say what? So I then ordered the chorizo queso, which she said had no jalpaenos in it. It came with a giant plate of melted cheese with no taste at all and very little chorizo. What a huge disappointment.

Nice little Mexican restaurant with free chips and salsa. Salsa was good and spicy. They gave me some homemade hot sauce on the side as well for no upcharge. We tried a lot of things, street tacos, jalapeño cheese sauce coated chicken chimichanga (they called it a burrito but it was fried like a chimi). I got a combo plate with a taco, bean and beef burrito and a cheese enchilada. Comes with rice and beans. Taco was good but a little bland, salsa fixed it up. Bean and beef burrito wasn't what I was expecting because it was ground beef but it had a great and spicy flavor. The enchilada sauce was a little tough but the sauce was really wonderful in my opinion. Lighter than most enchilada ranchero sauces. Beans and rice were good, kind of bland. I loved the jalapeño cheese topped chicken "burrito" a little more than my combo though. The person who ordered the combo type of tacos kept raving about how delicious they were. The person who had a carne Asada chimichanga was sad it was bland and beef was a little tough inside. They were also disappointed it was covered in green chili sauce as they didn't read the description well and just assumed it was coated in cheese. I thought hot sauce and salt worked it up a lot when they shared a big bite with me. Over all we were very happy with the modest location, great service and mostly delicious food. I don't know if I'd drive the distance to eat here and with so many options in the area I will try other restaurants but I'm sure I'll be back again to try more offerings! (Since it's I ust 3 minutes away from the Science museum, we will be back in the area often)

We've had takeout before and liked it, so my husband wanted to go here for lunch. It's dark inside and there was a bit of a musty smell. Service was slow but everybody is understaffed, and our server was friendly. As a true gringo I did a combination order. Nice touch that they make their own taco/tostada shells. But the taco was advertised as shredded beef, but when it came it was ground beef. And the cheese enchilada had clearly been pre-made and reheated very quickly and not thoroughly -- the cheese inside was like a little brick instead of being melty -- and there wasn't any red sauce, the whole plate was smothered in green. I should have specified but I would think they would ask if it was an option. My husband said his soft rellenos were a little "meh" also. Bummer as we wanted to love it.

The servers weren't so busy they couldn't take our order after 30 minutes of waiting. They weren't too busy to refill our water after 15 minutes of waiting. They weren't too busy to refill our chips after 20 minutes of having an empty basket. We tried this restaurant before and ended up leaving. We gave them another shot & they failed us. This place sucks. The food was NOT worth this kind of horrible service. Never again. P. S. The server stuck her finger our salsa and coleslaw mix when we first arrived. It was gross.

This is my go-to spot. Great food, great margs, great staff. Carne asada, molcajetes, carnitas, tortas - all consistently delicious. Hole in the wall of the very best kind.

House Margarita. Don't get a small one. Salsa: perfect blend of pepper and cilantro Asada Tacos: heavenly. Go-to Authentic Mexican

I was super excited to try this place with all the amazing reviews.. I was excited to try the amazing food off the menu because it all sounded so good. The salsa was amazing most of the chips were great with a few stale ones thrown in. No big deal. Our son ordered the Asada chimichanga- it was bursting with flavor and amazing, my husband ordered the carne adobada tacos - were amazing as expected, I ordered the 7 leguas alambre tacos was suppose to have asada, chorizo, pastor and ham as the meats. Sounds amazing right?? Well upon recieving it we realized that it was not ham it was literally diced up hot dogs (hotdogs and ham are 2 totally different things tasting nothing close to the same), hot dogs are disgusting.. I would never expect a hot dog to be in my Mexican food - I would have given a 5 star if that had not happened as everything else was amazing. Being from out of state and driving 40 min just to visit this little place upon the great reviews I am saddened to say it was very disappointing for me only as my family loved everything they recieved

I probably would have rated 7 Leguas only three (3) stars if not for the mangonada (!) margarita. I'm obsessed with the spicy-sweet mangonada and have never seen a margarita-version back in Indiana; I may have squealed when seeing it listed on 7 Leguas' menu. I even broke my "no-slushee-margaritas" rule, in order to enjoy myself. Otherwise, the food was average-to-good, nothing mind-blowing. The expansive menu offers a lot of seafood options that I have not seen elsewhere. The menu also offered a lot more authentic items (lengua, tripe, menudo, etc), that you cannot find at a typical Hoosier Americanized-Mexican restaurant. The thrill of the new probably is what contributed to me ordering raw oysters in a Mexican restaurant. Just re-reading that last sentence makes me shake my head. The oysters were topped with a tangy pico de gallo and lime, but they did not taste super fresh. Fresh raw oysters have an abundance of delicious, sea-smelling juice to slurp up. 7 Leguas' oysters were a bit dryer and didn't taste newly shucked, although the lime and pico did help freshen them up. I was not able to finish my order. The service was friendly and the location looked like a local neighborhood favorite. The chips and salsa were excellent; lightly fried chips and a fresh-tasting, slightly blended salsa. You also receive a complimentary dish of this slightly spicy, creamy seafood & veggie type dip with your chips...hard to describe. I'd definitely recommend visiting 7 Leguas if you are used to blander Mexican joints and want to try something a bit more daring. The enormous molcajete bowl mash-ups looked super interesting...maybe next time.

A great place for authentic Mexican food. The menu is extensive and breakfast is served all day, My family and I all went for the first time and everyone enjoyed their food. There was a nice selection of hot sauces and the in-house green sauce is really good. I had the pastor tacos and they were fantastic!

Not a bad place for Mexican food. The neighborhood doesn't look the greatest. Service was great, no issues at all. I ordered the fajita salad and it was loaded. Big scoop of guacamole and sour cream with lots of meat. Had to dig to get to the lettuce. Lots of seating so a big group will not be a problem. I didn't get to try out the bar during lunch but it looked pretty well stocked.

7 leguas never disappoints! My favorite dish to order is Tacos! The carnitas tacos are my favorite. Tender meat, flavorful bites with the chopped onion and cilantro on top. Squeeze a little lime on too and you've got the best taco bite ever. I've been known to order a side of rice and beans too. It's yellow rice and pinto beans. Another favorite is the carne asada fries. This dish is a meal on its own. When a craving strikes, we just call in the order and pick it up. The service is great. Friendly, attentive.

Such an extensive menu, so many Molcajetes to choose from. Too bad we dined here before I learned of Molcajetes, lol. Still, we tried to pick something less ordinarily found in Tex-Mex joints, such as the Mexican ribs. They were very tender and were swimming in sauce. Good, but I still preferred BBQ ribs... One of our friends is vegetarian so she picked from the breakfast menu, which they serve all day long! She seemed to enjoy her order. The other friend ordered a soup which name I've forgotten but it was definitely a meal by itself. I tasted it and thought I'd get the same thing next time, especially if it's during winter seasons! Hubby got the Chalupa Deluxe, holy moly, that's a sight, feast, for the eyes and stomach! We enjoyed just picking on the huge fried tortilla shell. The sides that came with our dishes were very good too and since they were vegetarian, we kept asking for more and the wait staff was always happy to refill them. The slaw was to die for!

My friend and I, were craving some Mexican food after work on a Friday night. The margaritas were not too bad but a rip off!! For a medium drink it looks like a small for a small looked like a large. When the lady showed us the glasses was amazed. The fajitas we got were a trio wasn't that great the shrimp were overcooked the meat didn't taste fresh !! I would not recommend you going there. Plus that night I felt horrible my stomach hurt I had such a bad stomach ache plus I threw up some of the food. honestly I don't know if the food was fresh or not didn't taste like it. I wouldn't recommend going here better Mexican restaurants out there.

We went to get Mexican food We have been here many times The restaurant was packed and we were the first ones to have to wait for a table They said it would be 5 minutes So as we were waiting 3 people came in after us and they seated them before us We waited at least 25 minutes for a table I was pissed and will never go back there again That was totally wrong The owner was the one who did this Needless to say the tip was low and we got no apology Don't go there

We are currently visiting in Denver and thought we would try this place. It was super good and the staff were friendly. The prices are reasonable for a Mexican place although some items may be more expensive for some people but I thought it was nice.

They have amazing food and sea food . My boyfriend got oysters on the half shell they were loaded . They're way better then most of the expensive places that we been to . They come with more of a variety and an outstanding mix of tastes . They're loving and friendly people . This is absolutely amazing !!! Will be coming back for sure

I eat here at least once a month. I've tried almost everything on the menu. It's all fantastic. My only criticism is that the tortilla chips that come with the salsa aren't always fresh. Good service, good drink prices too. We will back many more times.

This was a Takeout Friday option last month. Interior is modest but food is great. Pricier than Santiagos (our original idea for takeout), but the quality was better. I thought the pollo ala crema was excellent. With the queso as an appetizer, I could save half my entree for the next day.

Once a our fall back for Mexican food, the quality has been slipping for some time, and the flavors have all but evaporated. The food was flavorless and served cold. When I asked for a quick turn in the microwave, the server brought it back to the table even colder.
