“OMG! This is one of my favorite Mexican restaurants in Colorado! It was so good, it brought me out of "review retirement" to let everyone know. A must visit if in the area or passing through. The mole is one of the best I've ever had! After many visits I can say that the food and the service are top notch and the dining room is cozy and clean. Both lunch and dinner are sure to satisfy.” -Joel

“Amazing food! One of the best burritos I’ve ever eaten. Staff was friendly, polite and professional. And my cup never ran dry. Server brought chips, salsa, and refried beans before our drinks. Music was a little loud, but we ate out side on the patio in the shade. There is a full service bar and the margaritas looks great. I was the driver so did not partake. Take your hunger and check them out!” - Ryan
