Las Delicias Uptown

One of my favorite places for Mexican food! I love their menudo and cocktails. I am a regular at this location and highly recommend!!

I want to love this place because it’s so close to me, but the prices have increased like crazy for cheap, poorly made Mexican food. Honestly, go here for drinks/happy hour and chips and salsa. The staff is so kind and service is fast. Just their food is so bad and overpriced. I’m far from a picky eater but I have barely touched my meal here more than once.

Great place to go to for a quick bite. As someone that doesn't care for guacamole or avocados, their guac tasted amazing. Heads up if you eat on the rooftop on a hot day they will have the outdoor mists going

I always enjoy eating here at Las Delicias Uptown. I've eaten at this location for 20 years and the food continues to evolve and taste great. The beautiful renovation of the restaurant has only improved the atmosphere, the seating inside and outdoors. The staff was very pleasant and welcoming.

I ate at Las Delicias regularly, starting in 1987. I'm so happy when I get the chance to visit again, like seeing an old friend. Three of us went for dinner, excited. The neighborhood is very different, more vibrant, and expensive. The building has been through many transformations. The lighting is good, furnishings simple, artwork fitting, and appears clean. The hostess showed the three of us to a table by the window. Service was prompt, friendly and efficient. My carnitas plate looked hearty, well presented, and hot. The shredded beef chimichanga had been ordered with a special request, and , when brought to the waiters attention, was snapped from the table, taken to the kitchen, and a corrected plate returned. Flavor and taste were lacking. Portions were ample, the prices were higher than I remembered from over a year ago. Overall, OKAY. Probably just stick with my favorite neighborhood place next time.

I immediately liked the colorful vibe with lots of outside light from big windows. I ordered the La Morena margarita, which was really good. I like spinach and didn’t see it on the menu. Our very friendly waiter said they could make me a spinach quesadilla. I really liked it. The cheese was great too. They have patio seating and an upstairs outdoor space as well. Very enjoyable experience.

I hadn't been here in 24+ years since moving to Pueblo. Food and Cristina's service definitely did not disappoint! The salsa was exactly how I remembered it to be! Although beautiful and the food/ service were amazing as always, I was a little saddened by the changes to the inside. I was expecting the old traditional Mexican restaurant as when they first opened. I do understand the fact of having to adjust to the surroundings of "Downtown" though.

I've been eating here for a while. They have two locations, but this one is my favorite and the original. The vegetarian enchiladas with Verde salsa are so good. The chips are thick but not too thin. They hold salsa and guacamole without breaking. Everything is seasoned to perfection. The heat sneaks up on you but doesn't burn. This comfort food all the way. I gotta it to go, and it was still delicious, and the portions weren't smaller. Friendly service and family owned. I haven't their quesadillas, burrito, and other items. They're all on point. You don't know what you're missing. Give them a try, and you'll be a regular. Don't tough the Skelton couple, either. Until next time.

The food is okay, not great. Service is inattentive and the food here is quite expensive for what it is. $65 for two people for lunch, no alcohol, appetizers, dessert or extras/add-ons.

The best thing was the chicharrones. Nice and fresh and crispy. I had the chicken flauta plate and they were a bit overcooked. The service was alright. I think the server was the only one on the floor because he was pretty busy. I place is nice and the margaritas were refreshing.

I usually order my same smothered burrito but today I ordered huevos rancheros . My boyfriend ordered fajitas. Everything was excellent! It was Tuesday around lunch & sat on bar area . The gentleman that served us was very friendly , patient & excellent server as well !

Service was friendly, fast and professional. Very hospitable environment. Food was amazing, fantastic taste, but the corn tortillas taco shell wasn't made locally store bought (Taco Bell) ugh. Food taste was delicious. However, way over priced I feel for a meal

The food was not quite what I expected. There were more beef delicacies than other meats. The service was great. The food I ordered was enjoyable, but it was not a "wow" moment.

Review for Los Dos Potrillos My wife and I pulled up to Los Dos Potrillos, and it was a solid spot overall. My wife is serious about her green chili and came here specifically for their beef and bean burrito with green chili. She loved it--said it hit just right and was everything she hoped for. I decided to try the breakfast fajitas. They were alright, but honestly, the meat could've used a bit more seasoning, and the veggies were softer than I like. Still, the vibe of the place was cool, and it felt authentic, which I respect. If you're into green chili, this is definitely a place to check out. I might switch it up and try something different next time, but my wife is already planning her next burrito run. Don't say I didn't put you on.

I came here for lunch and had a wonderful experience! I will definitely be back for dinner. I highly recommend this restaurant. My server was very sweet. My food came out quickly. I was able to relax and treat myself to a great lunch. I got the chicken quesadilla and it was delicious. I'm looking forward to trying more things on the menu!

Wow! What a setup. What an experience! We hired them last minute for a large event for the Former Mayor and they made it happen! Great taco bar setup. Great food! And great price! They were on time, well presented and very courteous! We will definitely use their catering again! Thank you Conny, Junior and Team!

The service in this place was very good, for what it is. The food is what you would expect for a quasi fast food place. A colleague said 'it was saucy', lots of sauce. They were incredibly attentive and accommodating.

Awesome rooftop in Uptown with delicious margaritas. We ordered chips & queso and split a steak quesadilla. Solid but did not blow us away. Nice spot to drop in for a rooftop drink or light bite. Our server was super helpful and made our experience pleasant.

A dedicated las delicias customer since the beginning but had my usual N0 5 combo today and was very disappointed. The burrito and enchilada seemed smaller and the chile and sauce less generous and it seemed like the Chile which was never hot had been tamed down....maybe all my imagination but one thing is for sure the price is $18 usd Las used to b a great value but now not so much. I know food prices way up...but to get double whammy....less food and high price ....kinda sad

We thought the food and margs were great!!!! Highly recommend the guava margarita & the chicken flautas!!! We will definitely be back.

What happened? We dropped in very recently and ordered two things. Mine was the Menudo. And I wanna focus on this. I don't mind that the portion here is the smallest. I've ignored that since day one. What I do mind is their menudo is way too watered down Now. It was so meh I was shocked! It's hard to comprehend when something good goes bad. Doesnt the chef taste the food before it goes out? Or taste the batch that you just cooked before you call it Menudo? What a shame.

Just pathetic. Ordered this against my better judgement to go as I needed something fast. Didn't include chips and salsa, had to ask for them. Didn't include utensils, had to ask for them. Their burritos are complete ass. Wanna know what comes inside a burrito? Not cheese. Not rice. Not lettuce. Not beans. I'm eating a "steak burrito" that is literally just a tortilla with dog-food grade "steak" inside. Not a single other ingredient. If I made this burrito and sold it to someone for $15 I'd jump off a bridge out of shame.

It's one of the few places open later on a weekday. Everything in that area seemed to close around 9pm on a Wednesday. This place was nice enough to let us in right before closing and serve us up something to eat. It's your typical Mexican food - nothing out of the ordinary. The food was mediocre, but the service was excellent. Our waiter was extremely nice and helpful.

WOW...what a treat! We had company in town from the east coast who has no good Mexican food in their area. They have eaten at Las Delicias multiple times over the last 25 years, but I have not eaten at this location in decades. The last few times we ate at the North location, and it was just okay as it has changed over the years, and not for the better. With that said, last week we decide to go to the Up-Town location as thats the location they first went to. Bottom line, I was blown away! For starters, the service was top notch. Our waiter, I wished I could remember his name, was not only super friendly, but quick and very helpful. There were six of us dining and from the Menudo, to the combinations, carne asada and the carnitas, everything was Delicias! Oh, and the margaritas were beautifully mixed, delicious with a nice kick! We will be back...Bravo Las Delicias

I lived in Denver 30 years ago and Las Delicias was my favorite place to eat Mexican food. Back then they had only one location, now they have four scattered about the Denver metro area. I was in Denver and wanted to back for a visit after all these years. A lot has changed since then. It's completely remodeled, shiny and bright. It has a very cheery atmosphere no matter what section of this roomy Mexican restaurant now has. Downstairs, there's a nice bar area, an area with tables and booths, and an outdoor patio area. Upstairs, where most of the people are is an airy dining area with a roof and no windows. It's really cool, and that's why most people want to sit up there. There are some semi-steep stairs to get up there, but there's also an elevator if you wish. I specifically went there for the burritos de chicharrones. I love 'em and can't find them in Los Angeles where I live. I ordered a couple of them ala carte for $6.50 each. It would have been a much better deal to get 3 that come with a meal serving for $13.65. They were quite good though and very filling. For dessert we had sopapillas. $5.55 for two. They are heavily sprinkled with granulated sugar I would have preferred no sugar on them since they also come with honey for dipping. The service was good, although it took over 20 minutes to get the margarita we ordered. We ordered it blended but it was served over ice. It was OK. We didn't want to wait again to get what we actually wanted. The food came out quickly though and our server Cristy was awesome. It wasn't her fault the bar was behind and maybe they were slammed with orders. Stuff happens. I think it's a pleasant place to have Mexican food. It's a nice place for a casual date or to meet a friend for a casual dinner. It's not loud so you can have a chat without having to raise your voice to be heard. I'm glad I went back and got my burritos de chicharrones fix and saw all the improvements they've made at Las Delicias. Glad to see they are thriving.

The food is delicious! We showed up late with a large crowd they still took us and didn't rush us. Strawberry margarita is delicious! Luis is kind and takes care of his customers.

This place seems to only survive on first time customers. The food is bland and service is pretty trash here. There's substantially better places to eat at in this area.

What happened to this place?! I have been going here for years, had to leave Denver for a year came back and my first meal was here. Double the price, half the food? They forgot my chicharones to add to the disappointment. In the past I would order from this place every other day, I don't think I would order here ever again after tonight. The meat was horribly dry. What a disappointment I loved this place. I thought about it daily when I was out of Colorado. Shame. Also the burritos were barely filled with meat. You can see the food difference in the pictures I have posted in the past. Cut the menu in half if times are tough don't skimp ur customers. Sad!

I paid for a number five combo that included a beef burrito, chile relleno, and cheese enchilada for a total cost was $16.75. I called the establishment to ask them to make the burrito a bean and cheese,green chile on the side and a side of sour cream. They wanted to charge me $3.50 for a side of sour cream. When did a beef burrito and a cheese burrito cost the same? There was no cheese on the inside of the burrito. I have been a patron for over 25 years. Extremely disappointed. Pagué por un combo número cinco que incluía un burrito de carne, chile relleno y enchilada de queso por un costo total de $16,75. Llamé al establecimiento para pedirles que hicieran el burrito con frijoles y queso, chile verde como acompañamiento y crema agria. Querían cobrarme $3.50 por una guarnición de crema agria. ¿Cuándo costaron lo mismo un burrito de carne y un burrito de queso? No había queso en el interior del burrito. Soy patrocinador desde hace más de 25 años. Extremadamente decepcionado.

I love the food here, but today I ordered what I always order and it's never been spicy. Today it was spicy and I can't have nor can I tolerate spicy food. I took just a few bites and bit into something very hot! I went back inside and told them it was too spicy and I was told they didn't know why because it's the same green chili. Well, I don't know either because I didn't make it, but nevertheless, it's too hot for me and that's just money wasted. I didn't want my money back, but they could've at least remade it or offered me something else. They have lost me as a customer!

This restaurant steals money from customers via tips. I recently went to this restaurant 2/16/2025. The next day I received an email with an updated total that wasn't near what I put on paper. Super disappointed that they thought I wasn't going to notice or even think thats acceptable to do to customers.

Las Delicias Uptown is located on a cute little street with a few other restaurants nearby, and it's one of our favorite places to go for Mexican food when the weather is nice! The covered rooftop patio and the outdoor, dog friendly seating are both great options. The happy hour and taco tuesday specials are great deals. - Smothered tamale: a ton of food for a great price off the a la carte menu. The green chili has a nice kick to it, and the tamale itself is so light and tender! - Carnitas estilo michoacan: this is my go to dish at las delicias! the meat is fall apart tender, and it's a ton of food. I always have plenty leftover which makes for an amazing lunch the next day. Ask for extra onions and cilantro for a nice, fresh crunch! - Tacos de carne adobada: the sauce that came with this was surprising and delicious - a little sweet at first and then with a kick at the end. The grilled meat and onions offer great flavor all wrapped up in a classic corn tortilla.

We have enjoyed Las Delicias in the past. Decent food and good service. After a poor experience with a rude waiter who did not want to wait on me I gave them another chance. This time no one served me at all. I complained to the manager. He had no explanation and offered a half hearted apology and was happy to see me leave. We will not go back.

Stopped in for happy hour and ordered a drink and these yummy cheese dip. The staff were polite and business started picking up as we got closer to dinner.

Service, interior, friendly staff and cheap prices all deserve 5 stars. The food however not so much. It's not bad but it's bland. The drinks looked delicious so I should try those in the future instead. We both had a combination number 5 for lunch and it was meh. Portion was good for a lunch. Complimentary chips and salsa.

The chimichanga here is truly something to write home about. I was introduced to my first chimichanga at Las Delicias and have tried others at different restaurants and not one has amounted to the quality of the one here. Highly recommend!

I genuinely wish I could give this place ZERO stars. I've been going to Las Delicias for YEARS, and no matter which location I choose to go to, the food is fire and the customer service is great. That was, up until my visit today. I paid $62 for straight BULL . My "hard" tacos were $17 alone for just 3 tacos with lettuce & cheese, they were falling apart from the meat not being drained, therefore, making the tacos soggy. The lettuce and cheese were the only tasteful part of these tacos. They were literally garbage. I ordered Asada tacos and they came out bland, no seasoning. With some half old avocados on the side and NO SALSA VERDE was available. When I asked for salsa verde they stated that they don't have that... What kind of Mexican Restaurant doesn't have salsa verde? That alone says alot. Now lets get into my enchiladas. I ordered Chicken Enchiladas in tomatillo sauce with no beans, double rice (my order every single time I visit this place) ... the rice was literally rock hard I couldn't even eat it. I started throwing the rice out AT their location. The enchiladas barely had any chicken and barely any sauce. They could've kept the complimentary chips and salsa because the salsa is bland as can be, no salt and pepper whatsoever. I'm beyond disappointed but the worst part is the way that the manager handled the situation when I called and wanted a refund for only the enchiladas and asada tacos. The reason for that, being that I paid cash for the hard tacos and was not able to go back to the restaurant. I drove from Southlands, Aurora, CO for this food. So no, I was not returning to the site just for $17 when they could have taken accountability for the poor service and poor food, and just refunded me for the items I said. I was hung up on TWICE when I asked for a manager but kept calling back. Then, when speaking to a Manager he's extremely defensive and argumentative. That's how you know for a fact they're shady! You knew y'all were on some bs that's why your employees hung up in my face two times. I'll never eat at Las Delicias again no matter what location it is. I feel completely disrespected and disgusted in their food, the increase in prices, and the customer service, or lack there of.

Love Las Delicias! & the fact that it's so close to my place! The #1 thing I appreciate about this spot is its variety of options - big, small & reasonable. The green Chile fries are smoooothered in green Chile and so much cheese - truly delicious.+ You can get a smothered chicken burrito for only $5! Oh and you can't forget the chips & salsa - complimentary & tasty. Additionally the service is always attentive and the atmosphere is laid back. I'll be back again and again!

I was pleasantly surprised with our lunch today, especially based on previous reviews. The food was hot, fresh, and very good. The tamales my husband ordered were obviously homemade. There was a good ratio of meat to masa. Good flavor with medium level of heat. Service was lovely.

Food is consistently always excellent. Breakfast, lunch, or dinner! And the staff are always super nice. This is my go to restaurant. Prices are also reasonable. Great vibes!

this is the original location of Las Delicias. (they have 4-5 locations around denver.) we've been enjoying it for over 2 decades. they completed a major remodel a couple years ago, and did a very good job of modernizing the facilities (including a rooftop bar and patio). this isn't a restaurant that's trendy or modern in terms of food. but this building is now sleek and stylish. back to the food - they're more traditional mom and pop style mexican food. we love the combinations because we can pretty much get whatever we want without menu substitutions. tamales, enchiladas, tacos, burritos, bean tostadas, guacamole tostadas. they have sopapillas! they have happy hour every day from 4-6. their margaritas are deliciosas. their salsa is to die for!!!

The service was unacceptable. The hostess was unprofessional, unbecoming, and directly rude. I have dined here previously and was exceptionally disappointed.

Wow; this place has been in the same location for years, but why I don't understand. My normal go-to place a few blocks away was closed (not sure why) so we headed here. Slow service, waiters drenched in smelly cologne, and underwhelming food. I had the chili relleno plate; food was not hot (temperature) and the rellenos were bland and soggy. Chips were cold and salsa not very tasty. So many options for mexican food in Denver; won't ever go back here.

I can't figure out why the Uptown Las Delicias is so inferior to their other locations considering the amount of money that was pumped into this Mexican (cough) eatery. More than once have been disappointed (ordered sm menudo and was basically a pig's foot) so as the saying goes, per George Bush, "There's an old saying in Tennessee--I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee--that says, 'Fool me once, shame on... shame on you. Fool me--you can't get fooled again. '" Basically, ordered a burrito (not smothered) - the woman taking the order said they come smothered - weird because it has to get built first. So I asked if I could have the "smothering" on the side and after some time she agreed. Little did I know that to them this meant packing my order - smothered and then when I called shortly thereafter, the manager, despite my request to have this removed from my credit card, told me, "no." She directed me to drive back. I'm including a photo of the bean burrito my roomate ordered. Let's just say, "it turned out flat. Literally a tortilla with a tablespoon of beans.

We were staying with a friend in Denver whose apartment was right across the street from Las Delicias. We sat on the roof top patio which was perfect. The occasional breeze felt nice and they had water misting too. The menu is very large and sure to have something for everyone. I ended up trying the cactus salad because I was intrigued by the idea of grilled cactus. The salad (and all the dishes in general) come in very large portions. You definitely get your money's worth. It is very rare that I can't finish a meal but I could only manage about 2/3 of this salad. Honestly, the salad was disappointing. The grilled cactus tasted good at first but it grew old real fast.

We have been to the Las Delicias on CO Blvd/Kentucky Ave several times and always receive consistent, friendly, and prompt service. The food is consistent also. IMO their refried beans are the best I've ever had, but their salsa is consistently...meh. I was excited to try this location, which is actually much closer to home. First, atmosphere and location are great. The have a small patio at street level and a much larger patio upstairs. The indoor dining area is huge so I can't imagine ever having to wait to be seated, although I'm sure there are times when it happens. It was recently remodeled and the new decor is very well done. Second, we had great service. Our server was friendly and funny and seemed to ignore that my husband kept - inexplicably - calling him Buddy. ("Thanks, Buddy." "Can we get some more chips, Buddy?" I'm not sure what got into the hubs and he was a bit embarrassed once I pointed it out. He hadn't even had beer so...?) Our food was all good! One might even call it delicias if one knew how to speak proper Spanish. It was what I expected based on our experience at the other location. Again, best refried beans ever. Great tacos, nachos, quesadillas, burritos, etc. But, again, same meh salsa which I prefer to call Spicy Tomato Water. My only complaint (outside of the salsa) is the apparent lack of awareness re: guest comfort. We sat on the upper patio around 6pm on what had been a 92-degree day, so I totally appreciate why management had the misters turned on up there. But surely there's some sort of adjustment for those things so that guests (and their food) don't get drenched while eating. Getting to our table was comparable to a stroll through sprinklers and, once seated, the slightest breeze made the over zealous mist feel like steady rainfall. We joked that my son (who was anxious to go home and clean up after a cross country meet) no longer needed a shower. We noticed other guests laughing about it and wiping their faces with napkins, but the servers seemed oblivious. It was comical enough that we didn't say anything certain it was so obvious that someone would fix it. We were mistaken. ;) B O T T O M L I N E : We'll be back! We'll load up on refried beans, skip the salsa, and bring our own body wash.

The food here is amazing! They probably have the best salsa in town, in my opinion. I usually get the smothered chicken burrito and it's always on-point! The person I came with got the cheese enchiladas which were fabulous as well! I will say the service at this location was significantly slower than the one up north, but the food is still delicious! Cheers

Cecilia is one of the best bartenders I've ever encountered. Her attention to detail was unmatched. I told her what I wanted and she was able to make suggestions for me. The only thing I wish she did was tell me the food here sucks ass, but I can't blame her for that. Come see Cecilia but don't eat this fuckin basura

My friend and I ate here recently and it's really upgraded! The new-ish rooftop patio is cute and I love the vibe. They did a good job of following the COVID rules which I always watch for since it's my line of work. Our server was nice and so were the two people at the front. I loved the meal I got too so really just a nice experience, we will definitely be back :)

What happened to you my fine long time Mexican restaurant? Server didn't know enough English to understand the order. The place left me feeling like is this the same place? Maybe ownership has changed? Not a good experience.

Last night my coworkers and I stopped in for a late dinner. There were 7 of us. The atmosphere was nice but we were disappointed in the drinks, pricing, food, and service. Our strawberry frozen margaritas tasted like water and costs $16. The sangria drink was good but again pricey. The food was average and not worth the price. One breast of grilled chicken and rice was $22. We felt rushed because they were closing and when we tried to pay our bill was disappointed when the staff would not separate our tickets. With a group of coworkers who need reimbursement by our employer we needed individual tickets however they refused to accommodate. We unfortunately would not revisit.

Las Delicias at 19th and Penn marks the original spot of what is now the small local chain of the restaurants. I remember when I was in school decades ago and it was about the only Uptown place to get decent Mexican food north of Colfax in Uptown. Roberto, the guy who ran the place, was a quiet but friendly tall presence. Always there. Always kind and always welcoming. Used to regularly order the No. 5 combo: relleno, burrito, enchilada. Here's what's kinda cool. They renovated the place about 10 years ago or so and they've printed probably a dozen versions of the menu but the same No. 5 is still on it. Had it last night with a raucous group of friends and it along with the salsa and chips they served everything tasted just like it did so many years ago. Impressive and in some way reassuring that it's stayed so consistent. Now the price has more than doubled to $11.95, but that's not bad over the course of that many years. The folks serving us were great. The place is now more comfortable and open than it was. And their margaritas have actually improved a bit by not being overly sweet like they used to be. I don't mean to demean the place in any way. And it brought a smile to my face for sure. But what's fair is to tell it like it is and the truth is it's a good 3 star restaurant to which I'll gladly return. Sign me, David "sometimes A-OK is A-OK" M.

With baited breath, the neighborhood all waited for this location to re-open. I had heard the food was average but had high hopes with the gorgeous remodeling. The hubs and I came at 6 on a Friday night and we're seated right away. The chips and salsa came right away along with our waters. I ordered the chili rellenos and the hubs ordered a chicken dish which I have forgotten the name of already. The food came out right away and I realized within two bites that my chili rellenos had no cheese in them. The chili on top was decent but forgettable. The hubs dish was ok but not great. The service was friendly and prompt but the food needs a re-do.

Simply not good food. Stale in taste. Freshness long forgotten. Ingredients tired. Pride no longer lingering here.

Burritos and cheese enchiladas were good. Service was average. Nice contemporary feel.

The service is lackluster. I called to make a to go order and who I think was the manager placed me on hold. I could hear the same person talking and laughing for several minutes so I hung up and called back. This time, they took my order. I was disappointed that when we arrived that the entire place was empty. The employees there were nice but the manager behaved like she couldn't be bothered to help us. The food was over priced. If you want tacos, go to Taco Bell because because I can assure you that the quality is better. The chile relleno was mostly flour with a tiny sliver of of actual chili. It wasn't even cooked thoroughly because you can still see the unmelted, shredded cheese (see the picture I posted). Make sure to get the free chips and salsa because that's the only flavor you'll get out of all their dishes. If you want to spend money at a high end Mexican restaurant, go to La Loma down the street. If you want better Mexican food, go to D'Corazon. I've given this place too many chances and don't want to go back after so many disappointing experiences.

We went here to celebrate my sister's bday. There were a total of ten people in which five were children. The restaurant was not crowded and there were many open tables (literally right next to each other). The seating is designed where there is one long bench on one side of multiple tables and two individual chairs on the other side of each table. I describe the seating to say this...we did not need tables and chairs arranged to form an area that would accommodate all of us. We literally could've sat right next to each others and been fine! When the 1 bill came out, yes 1 because their "system" is so antiquated to separate and the server could write separate tickets, they added 18% gratuity to the overall bill. SHAME!!! Not to mention we didn't get water refills and the food came out lukewarm (at best) and terrible!!!! Never going back!!!
