What a fantastic place! Food was great! I often don’t make choices very easy so I just order everything that I want to try, and I can honestly say there isn’t one thing that I didn’t love! The atmosphere is great, the service is exceptional given how busy they were!!! I highly recommend, but if you come for brunch, be patient! I promise it’s worth the wait!! It’s a feast!

I’ve been here twice. The first was for brunch and it was great! great service, although the food was mid tier. The second time i made a reservation for dinner on my birthday in october. the experience was not great. me and my party of 5 had to wait for 15 minutes for our table to even be ready (why even make a reservation if u have to wait??). once we were seated our party was forgotten about. nobody came to take our order (even drinks) until one of my friends stood up and looked around. it took forever to get our drinks and food. and by the time we were ready to leave, we had to wait again forever for the check. all in total took about 2 hours when it definitely didn’t need to. Was a disappointing start to my birthday evening to say the least. At least the drinks are cool (pictured). This place has potential but they’re just too busy to deal with you sometimes i guess…

The vibes are IT here!! We didn’t make reservations because we didn’t know you needed reservations anywhere you go in Denver on the weekends, butttt they got us in fairly quickly even though it was packed. The food was soooo yummy and huge portions. I got the breakfast tacos! (the picture is from after I ate lol) Not to mention the whole staff is good looking. 😂 10 out of 10 pero we need espresso martini’s on the menu asap!

Ordered the seafood enchiladas and paired it with a prickly pear drink, it was so good! Server was very attentive in a good customer service way, gave us some shots because he said we had a good vibe, but honestly it was the ambiance and atmosphere of all the staff. Everyone was friendly and over all everything was a great experience. .

Went with my husband on a date here. The place is fine, patio looks nice. Service was nice as well but when I asked for the check the server went to deal with another table and forgot about us. Finally he remembered and go us the bill. He was kind but I did need to get back to work. Chips were very very stale and cold. They’re sitting out on the bar and they give you a basket. Salsa was great. Food was good as well. I probably won’t come back as the two of us came out paying $50 for a burger and tacos that weren’t too special.

Hidden cozy gem, found this place on TikTok and wanted to give it a try service is very good and food came out very fast and the prices are not bad either. I had a steak quesadilla and a Horchata and needless to say it was delicious. Will definitely be coming back.

WOW oh wow. I came here for my friends birthday. I had ordered the mango marg and it was amazing. It was also extremly big and tall that it took 3 of us to finish. I also had the tacos and they were absolutly DELICIOUS. def coming back for the tacos alone.

How cute is this place?! Stopped in for a quick drink before dinner and am sad we had dinner reservations because I wanted to try the food. It all looked and smelled amazing. Not super busy for a Tuesday night, so staff were super nice and helpful. Had the Necio-Rita- half price on happy hour btw- and it was tasty!! Tajin rimmed on the rocks was the way to go. Will definitely be back to try the food along with another margarita.

Stopped in for a quick beverage. Service was super friendly. Happy hour runs 3-6pm Tuesday thru Friday with both beverages and bites. The Necio-Rita (House Margarita) is a smooth blend of Herradura Reposado tequila, Cointreau, and fresh lime juice. A steal at $7! It's kept cool in an adorable clay pot. We skipped the chips and salsa since we were headed to dinner but they looked good. Love the Mona Lisa in a sombrero over the bar!

Yelp
It looks so good; rice was so hard beans from a can and flautas were not prepared right all of the topping completely fell apart. The guac salsa on the side was flavor less. The queso fundido was SO salty. The salsa for the chips is gross no flavor no spice. The tortillas went cold and hard immediately. Lastly the cups you see are probably from sink water with no ice and never refilled out cups. This was my second time at this place and shouldn't have came back.

They were able to accommodate a reservation of 14 on Mother's Day and offered amazing quick friendly service. Our waiter was top notch and the staff worked together to provide amazing service. We sat outside on the heated patio- the patio was perfect and the way they had the table set up was very accommodating. Everyone enjoyed their food- I got the steak and eggs and it was cooked perfectly just as I asked. I enjoyed an alcoholic free drink Farm 2 Face - fresh squeezed juices. Highly recommend

Bravo!!! What an amazing experience! Stopped in on a Saturday evening with a group of 5 and there was plenty of seating for us. The restaurant was clean, great vibe with music and lovely staff. The food was amazing and so were the drinks! Definitely recommend! 10/10

Im very glad I gave Necio another chance as my second experience was much better that my first, md given how busy they are, is probably more indicative of a typical experience. We ordered ceviche to start and is was pretty good and was a huge portion. Then we shared the combination fajitas, which were also a nice portion. All of the steak and chicken and shrimp were good- sometimes I feel like restaurants use their trash meat for fajitas but not Necio. The margaritas were the right balance between tasty and strong. Finally, our server, Andres, was very nice and we appreciated the great service!

Yelp
Food here is amazing. The outside of the building does not look like much but when you walk inside it is inviting. Staff is courteous and attentive. We had the carne asada tacos, the seafood enchiladas and the Barbacoa quesadilla. All the food tasted great. The salsas are fresh but more importantly their salsas are unique. They don't taste like every other Mexican restaurant you have been to. The margarita was great and all in all the place is a winner. Parking is limited on site but this being a neighborhood area you can always find a spot close. Andres our server was on it refilling our drinks however he did forget our order of guacamole but that aside it was perfect.

Abby R.

Yelp
Fun, authentic spot in Sunnyside! The staff is so friendly and accommodating. We always have so much fun here. The margaritas are strong, but not too strong and there are so many flavor options. I always get the fajitas - the meat is always tender & the portion size is enough to share!!

We tried the Brunch at this place after seeing videos on social media, it was a Saturday around 11, we were seated right away. Atmosphere is great, The server was very nice and attentive at the beginning . We ordered drinks the Green-Go Juice was very watered down but mimosas were good. We tried the chilaquiles, steak and eggs, horchata & Berry French toast and a kids Mac and cheese. The chilaquiles were bland and the chicken was not good, the steak and eggs are more like carne asada it was okay, there was ZERO difference between the two French toasts we ordered except for the strawberry sauce on top of the berry French toast but they were not good and extremely dry! The Mac and cheese was by far the worst it was just pasta with nacho cheese on top. The server again was great at the beginning but did not check on us after we got our food and it took us about 35 minutes to get the check I feel like it was definitely overpriced for the quality of the food.

This place is great. First time in years that everyone at the table wasn't in shock when we got the bill. $155 for 6 of us and we had drinks and leftovers. Food is tasty- I had the carne asada burrito supreme. Margaritas are really good too- get the Neco-rito. Our waiter-Francisco- used to work at a restaurant in Golden many years ago. It was fun reuniting with him.

This pace is a must try. I love the vibe of the place, people are amazing, and the food is the best part! I had the carne asada burrito and a margarita. Prices are great and the food is even better. Gotta try it.

Delicious Mexican food in Denver! I have no complaints about my food! I ordered the pork belly and carnitas tacos, rice and black beans. The steak street fries were delicious and they do a wonderful drink presentation! Staff was very nice and friendly! We sat outside on the patio which had an overhead mister to keep us cool!

Brianna B.

Pretty good drinks and food ! Service is good too ! Fun place to grab a drink and enjoy good food ! Definitely recommend the drink I got !!

Mickele B.

Necio feels a little like a Baja style restaurant in Palm Springs. The food is just ok and for that reason it is over priced. The presentation is beautiful, but the flavors are just not quite there. The service was outstanding. We had a table of ten women and the server and their team kept us all on cocktails, chips and salsa and our meals despite the din and busyness of a dinner rush.

Clean place, not sure how you can say Mexican but no homemade corn or flour tortilla. If you want to come take a picture with a bottle then yes it's a good place for it.

I had delicious crispy chile rellenos and a tasty cantarito during happy hour, so good that I ordered a second. The music and great service made for a wonderful atmosphere. I will definitely return!

Looking for a fun brunch in Denver?? Look no further! My friend and I saw this beautiful restaurant on Tik Tok and immediately added it to our Denver To Do List! The hostess was extremely nice and professional and sat us immediately! We arrived around 10:30 AM for Saturday Brunch. Our server was very prompt and had waters, chips and salsa before we could even ask! We ordered a Bloody Mary and a Michelada and both were light and delicious with a touch of spice The menu has a variety of delicious options and the Smoked Salmon Benedict is a MUST! Our server was nice enough to treat us with two round of tequila shots, one being a reposado and the other a mezcal. Served with an orange with cinnamon sprinkled on top... THE most delicious shots I've ever taken! Highly recommend this for your next fun day out!

Fricken amazing!!! Had the carnitas plate (twice on 2 separate trips and was not disappointed at all. Reasonable prices, consistency in food and friendly service. Best pork I've had. Period.

Super fun spot with a fun, upbeat vibe, great staff, and delicious food and drinks. On warmer days, the patio here is beautiful -- but the inside is also super cute. They have some fantastic cocktails! (I'm sure you can tell from the photos.) I love the Mangonata (huge frozen mango margarita with a spicy drizzle). You can also get a huge watermelon margarita punch bowl containing an entire bottle of Patron if you're here with a group. Loved that, as well! For the food, I recommend the molcajete. But I always recommend the molcajete at Mexican restaurants. You just can't beat a sizzling bowl full of meats, cheese, and salsa.

Melissa S.

Yelp
cute little spot! The service was awesome, our server was super friendly and welcoming. Their micheladas were probably my favorite thing. The food was decent but nothing amazing. I would like to give this place another try and choose something different. Service overall made it worth the visit!

This spot is a must if you're in the sunnyside area. Came in for brunch and was craving a smothered burrito. The burritos are huge and definitely hits the spot if you're suffering from a hangover. They also have a wide selection of adult bevies if you're wanting a boozy brunch too! Overall price point is reasonable and a great spot for large groups too!

Downtown Denver, is known for many good places to eat. You'll get a lot of advice on where and who has the best whatever.... I'll tell you the truth, NECIO is my absolute favorite Mexican restaurant in all Colorado. In the summer time you can enjoy the misty seating outdoors or be inside where the magic happens. With plenty of seating and intimate tables you can enjoy a date night or a family and friends da gathering of 8+. The staff is very professional and will serve you well, and for those of us who like to have drinks they have many specialties to choose from. Mixed well and presented with artisan touches, you'll be well pleased. As for the appetizers, they are so good and sets you up for your main course. With fresh ingredients and gluten free menu, you will not go wrong. Giant plates of food and will taste the rich history of Mexico and the americas. I encourage you to feast and make room for dessert which is the icing on the literal cake.... Tres leches... all in all, You might understand why this is my favorite place to eat.

Service was not good. The food was ok. Had the carnitas plate. Received our food, 10 minutes later the waiter comes and checks on us. Over priced! Will not be back.

Came here during my first visit to Denver and loved it! Service was so fast, and our server was really nice. We ordered a bean and cheese burrito and a quesadilla. Portions were quite large, and the food was delicious. Ambiance could be a bit better, but I overall I enjoyed this experience

Alejandro R.

Yelp
Me pregunto que tipo de restaurante es este?? Donde le niegan la entrada al baño a los clientes que aún están consumiendo y terminando sus órdenes por el motivo de que ya los habían limpiado y preparando para el cierre. Esto es lo más grotesco, insultante y falta de cortesía al cliente que eh sabido, cosa que nunca recomendaría un lugar así. I wonder what kind of restaurant this is? Where they deny entry to the bathroom to customers who are still consuming and finishing their orders because they had already cleaned and were getting ready to close. This is the most insulting and lack of courtesy to the customer that I have ever known of. I would never recommend a place like this.

Lisa C.

Yelp
Great place. Good flavors but a little disappointed in some changes in the last year. Their sopes are typically delicious. If you are familiar with the sope itself, made of masa.....biting into it should be a nice soft but solid sope. I had to send it back. It was hard as a rock. Cutting into it was difficult. This is the picture of it when it was remade.....you can see it is still overall overcooked. Looks crunchy. Almost like it's coated in something. It was not good. I didn't really eat it. Same with the necio ceviche. Mostly made of cucumber, tomatoes and onions with a sprinkle of shrimp. Wish I took a picture. Anyway. Hopefully they improve because it is a very good restaurant. Not sure I'll be back, makes me kinda sad to say that. I gave it 4 stars because in the last 3 years it's been a solid 5 star place. My last 3 visits though not so good :(

Wonderful experience at Necio! The food was such a delight, and the customer service was top notch! Great music, great vibes, overall a great time. Highly recommend!

We tried Necio for brunch, first time for brunch, it was a good overall experience, chiliquilles benedict was different and both my guest and myself liked it. The overall brunch itself was fine, we liked the food, the problem came when we got our bill, in my opinion. When the server handed me the point of sale system and just camped over me staring at what I would tip. This really put me off, it took what was a more than adequate brunch experience and turned me off to the point I probably won't be back again. I felt forced to hit 20 percent because someone was glaring at me while I was typing in the value. I've had other good lunch experiences here, but this last experience sort of soured me on Necio moving forward. I dont like feeling pressured when I'm paying for a check, and I think that's a perfectly reasonable feeling. I probably would have tipped 15 to 20 percent anyway, it was just this odd feeling I got after this experience that soured my overall view of this restaurant. Another brunch item of note the 23 dollar bottomless mimosas are very premium prices, in a sea of brunch places (downtown and otherwise) that typically charge 10-15 or so for bottomless (generally with an entree purchase).

Went there sunday, reservations were allowed at 7:30, we arrived and had the worst service ever. was there to celebrate a 21st birthday, we were ready to drink & have fun ( like we always do) they closed at 8, idk why they would accept 7:30 reservations? messed up 2 orders! i've gone for the longest time and that one time was just disappointing. We had 1 drink and felt so pressured to hurry and leave because they told us so. I would suggest to not allow 7:30 reservations if you guys close at 8.

Wow! Came here on a reference from MyVisionNutrition, couldn't be more pleased! Food was fantastic, got to us crazy fast, drinks were delicious, service friendly and great atmosphere. WILL come again!

My husband and I were so excited to try this restaurant for our anniversary. When we arrived around noon on a Sunday, they said the wait might be close to an hour and a half. We said no problem--that we would happily wait. After 90 minutes had passed, we went to check on our place in line and the hostess said they had shut down seating because the kitchen was so backed up...and that it would probably be another hour to get in PLUS another hour after that to get our food. I totally understand that they are busy...but it is unacceptable to make anyone wait essentially 4 hours to eat. Why not just tell us when we arrived that we need a reservation instead of making us wait so long.... only to turn around and tell us that they basically couldn't accommodate us after we had already waited so patiently? The atmosphere is gorgeous and the food looks amazing. But they need to sort out their logistics so as not to waste their customers' entire afternoon

Don't ever come here unless you love horrible service and being treated like you're not welcome. I've read a ton of other reviews after I left and found many other have had horrendous service recently as well. Tell your server to take the sunnies off and actually come take an order instead of looking like a douche. Literally worse place I been in denver it's a shame cause it had potential with the delicious food.

Teanna D.

Yelp
Was visiting Denver and decided to come here, so happy we did! Such yummy drinks & food! I recommend the pastor tacos. Environment and vibe was super chill with good music. The only thing I would say that wasn't amazing was the service. Waiter took awhile to refill drinks and pick up unused plates. Overall good experience

Came here for a birthday, made a reservation for 7:00. Didn't get seated till 7:45. After sitting for about 20 minutes without anyone checking in, we placed our drinks but didn't receive them till after our food (which took at least anothed hour). Half of them were made wrong, and we were missing several. The wait staff seemed annoyed when we asked for our drinks to be corrected, and even slammed down a drink next to me. My friend was mocked for asking for sugar on her margarita, and after (another) 30 minute delay, she finally received what she hoped to be a sugar margarita but found to her dismay, it was still salt. 20% gratuity tip was included with the bill. They threw on a few extra charges for "top shelf liquor" on the house margaritas, and once again we were faced with attitude when we asked about it. Overall this is one of the poorest services we've received. We even saw the manager walking around asking other tables how everything was, but we were ignored. We were a group of 12 (with a reservation) and were super polite until we received the check, and once again were treated with rudeness. I would definitely recommend going somewhere else with your friends for a birthday :( Also, no birthday dessert. Confused, sad. Not a lot of incentive to treat guests kindly when automatic 20% gratuity is included regardless.

I'm so disappointed writing this review because normally they do an amazing job but not this time. I went to Neicos to celebrate my birthday. I called a week in advance to book a reservation for 10 at 6pm on a Saturday. I called 2 hours before just to confirm the reservation and they said yes they had it right there. My party and I arrived 15 minutes early and we were told if we could wait 10 minutes while they get the table ready so we said okay and waited outside. 30 minutes! Passed so I went back in and asked what's going on is it ready? The host said they needed 10 more minutes (it was very packed and busy that night) but we had a reservation so they should have had the table ready to go. The host seem to forget or something because she said how our "party" was seated already and I told her no it was not because I made the reservation and my whole party was with me waiting outside. She then goes and talks to someone and comes 3 times outside to ask how many of us there was. I was getting frustrated. I don't think it was a language barrier either because we spoke in both English and Spanish to her. She was only trying to seat my husband and I and not the other 8. So after 45 minutes of waiting passed our reservation we finally were seated. The waiter takes our drink order and we get it pretty fast, he takes our order. We wait another 30 minutes! We were done with our drinks by then. The waiter didn't come to our table to check in or get us refills or anything. By the time they bring our food out they forget half of the table even though the ones they forgot all got the same thing (Al pastor tacos) but I seen other waiters bringing out the same order to different tables. I as well got that so why would they just bring my plate of tacos but not the other people sitting there theirs when it was the same thing? The service was horrible, the host was seating down taking shots with who knows who. The waiters were as well just drinking. It was very unpleasant and unprofessional. I'm very disappointed because my birthday dinner was ruined by this experience. I really hope they fix these mistakes or hire someone new up front because what's the point of making a reservation if I have to wait?

Look man I'm going to be honest with ya, I've been wanting to come here for ages because I saw this ridiculous looking mango frozen Marg on insta and I knew I had to try. I will admit it was a let down. It's definitely cool looking and fun to order, but with a ratio of one tequila shot to 3 scoops of ice you gotta look at this as more of a dessert than a cocktail. Overall I'd say their cocktails are pretty meh. I also tried the pineapple mezcal cocktail: it was OK. It was served with a flame so that was fun. I definitely think they are trying to appeal to the lohi hipster crowd which I have no problem with, their program just needs a little work. The cocktails look cool, but just a few tweaks for the fast to match the looks. Alfie tried the prickly pear Marg, and I'm glad he got that (as I was eyeing it) because it was waaaay too sweet. I will say the Tamarind Marg was good, and i would say that was probably the most ordered drink and now I know why. I will say the couple that sat next to us said their spicy margs were bomb and ordered multiple so I will definitely try that next time. Now on to the food. Bomb. Their Queso fundido was awesome! I love love loved that they not only did chorizo but also jalapeño as that was an amazing addition of a little heat. I opted for the carnitas plate which was delish! Excellent meat, great green chili, homemade corn tortillas. Really just a wonderful meal. My fiancé got the carne chimichanga and he was also very pleased: it was loaded with succulent meat. Their green chili is unique but good flavor and big pieces of pork in there. We will definitely be back. I will stick to the spicy and tamarind margs, and I will hope they tweak their cocktail program a bit because they are so close to being great!

We decided to check this place out after seeing a tik tok about the food. SERVICE: The waiter was at our table a total of 2 times. The first time when he took our drink order and the second time was an hour AFTER I received my drink for him to say "so sorry, did you want to order?". Even though he had been checking on a table next to us multiple times- it seemed like he knew the people at that table. After another half hour or so they brought out the wrong food. We waited yet again for what we ordered. After they brought out our food and we FINISHED eating we sat there for about 30 min - only then did they bring out the appetizer we ordered. We were full from our main course and at that point had been there for 2 hours and wanted to leave. We never saw our waiter again so I had to get up to get another waitress to ask for our tab- she promptly took care of us, brought us boxes and let us pay. HORRIBLE service aside from the waitress at the end. FOOD/DRINK: Cons: I ordered a mangonada and it was pretty, but lacked flavor overall. Some reviews talk about how the refried beans tasted like they came from a can, and it stood true- they were not good. Pros: Everything came out nice and hot, asada tacos were good. ‍

Necio's was great. Food was hot and fresh, service was fast and friendly and the drinks were amazing. I highly recommend. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in town.

Adam M.

My wife and I just had a wonderful brunch experience! I'm going to start with a negative to explain what, in my view, makes Necio Mexican Kitchen great. My friends and I talk about, what we call, 'unjustified pretension'; it's when a restaurant tries to dress things up and charge extra with no underwriting substance. I very much dislike when a cuisine, known for peasant food or street food, is dressed up with ambiance and aesthetics, and then sold at more expensive prices than it is worth. The poor food must feel like Tom Sawyer sitting in church made to wear clothes in which he is wholly uncomfortable. Indian restaurants do this often selling the same exact food at different prices, their evening fare being more expensive (it is often the left overs of the day's earlier lunch buffet). Necio Mexican Kitchen is none of that. Necio has all the characteristics of an upscale restaurant, with an attention to detail on every plate (the menu being well though out too), but minus the pretension. The restaurant is a place that feels good; it's a place one wants to be. The food is wonderful, the ambience is amazing, the service is efficient with good personality, and the prices are reasonable, reflecting a sincere self-awareness which makes the restaurant all the more charming. Everything we had to eat was carefully thought out, and displayed a flavor profile which had each item being a perfect representation of what Necio claimed it to be; the lluevos rancheros, for example, were a perfect version of the dish, with the green chile being a respectable tribute to Denver fare. Okay, now I am going to be politically incorrect for just a moment. I will address something we all think about when considering ethnic cuisine, and which is a mark we all think about, but don't always admit out loud (I am using my last name as a pass for permission to say the following)... The vast majority of the clientele present, while my wife and I visited, were obviously excited to be there, and were Latino. The food's audience is largely the cuisine from whom it claims to come; its authenticity is verified.

The watermelon margaritas were delicious! Not too sweet which was a plus. They are a bit pricey at $56 a pitcher. My husband and girls had a variety of tacos and all were delicious. I ordered Ahi Tuna Ceviche. It was a large portion and very fresh. I would definitely go back

Yelp
I'm super glad my friend invited me to Necio for a late lunch because Necio was an absolute delight. The menu has a lot of variety and there are some really delicious plant based options. I had the sope and it was very flavorful! The chicken and Al pastor were tender. Not to mention, the dish arrived beautifully platted. Andres was so lovely and extremely helpful in making suggestions on the menu as well as some tasty cocktails. The restaurant was packed, but this did not delay us getting our food. Necio is a really great place to have some food Mexican food and cocktails. I look forward to coming back to enjoy something else on their menu.

Love this spot. Took us a bit to find our fave food item but when we did... I could have their carnitas burrito and mango every day. So delicious and a large portion.

The best Mexican restaurant I have patronized in years. My daughter recommended this place for my birthday. It did not disappoint. The waiter was attentive and professional. Appetizers and food was phenomenal. There was a wide selection of drinks. ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. Before I leave Denver I will be back.

Updated review 6/27/20: My husband and I finally checked out Necio's brunch on their lovely little outdoor patio. Necio was one of our go to spots before Covid hit and we greatly missed coming here since they have only recently opened. As you can see from previous reviews it's been a little hit and miss. Brunch was good today but nothing I couldn't get at most other brunch spots. Where I think Necio really shines is on their chicken nachos and their pork belly tacos. My husband and I love to come here on Thursday's (taco Thursday's + happy hour) to get nachos to share and a few pork belly tacos.

While passing through Denver, we dropped in for lunch at Necio Mexican Kitchen. Everything on the menu looked amazing so our table decided to order a bunch of plates to share. We started with the poppers, the mini Chile rellenos, and the Pozole. Then for entrees two of us ordered carne asada burritos and one ordered the carnitas plate. Truly each dish was fantastic and my mouth is watering right now thinking of the food! I will definitely make Necio my new go to Mexican restaurant when I come to Denver!
