Well, unfortunately, I am leaving this review.
I was looking forward to eating here, given the reviews.
The staff here is absolutely friendly. Very awesome.
The quality of the food is very lacking. The margaritas tasted like salt. The green one tasted like liquid jalapeno juice.
I was in a party of 4. We ordered from the Happy Hour and regular menu.
The orders came out at different times.
One of us, the order was completely wrong -- like, a completely different item.
This is FAR from "authentic" Mexican food. Coming from LA and Mexico the week prior, it is obvious. To be honest, I like Taco Bell better. I have nowhere to really compare this to, but id say the food is like your typical run of the mill brewery/lounge food. The sign outside says, to some effect, that this is home to Denver's best margarita. No....it is not.
The chips, queso and guac that they first serve is awesome. They set the bar high there, and it sort of just crumbled after that. The food has flavor, dont get me wrong. I enjoyed the rattlesnake taco. The pork belly is a little too sweet for my liking, but was alright. The birria taco is literally soaked in oil. We ordered a burrito and never got it. We ordered 1 chicken and 1 steak quesadilla, and when we received them. Its was 3 chicken/1 steak piece and 3 steak /1 chicken piece per order. Which implies that they crossed at some point. Not a huge deal, but I guess that could be for someone that doesnt eat red meat.
The drinks, well, they were bad. Point blank. We bought 2 margarita trees. The green one is not for the faint of heart. It is spicy. VERY spicy. The mango was most enjoyable, but it almost seemed that there was a pile of salt dumped into every one of them.
We were charged for the incorrectly served taco that we never ordered. The server identified that my coworker ordered a burrito and never got it, and rather than making it and bringing it, she asked if we still wanted it and "I can have it made and I wont charge you for the taco." Like -- we never ordered it in the first place, soooooo just because you folks dropped it off doesnt mean were going to adopt the price tag on it. We found this a little off putting and frankly, this upset my coworker.
In short, would I return? -- no.
Do I think the food is good? -- not really
Is the service good? -- they are friendly
Is the place clean -- yes
