Megan DeniseOctober 23, 2013$1 Taco Tuesday taco eating contest with friends (winner ate 18, hope he's alive today...) + the best, loud throwback music for us early 80s kids + yumtastic margs & Tecate = glorious night in Denver!
DrewskiJanuary 17, 2015Got the usual chips and salsa, nachos with a side of guacamole, and the crispy chiles rellenos and everything was amazing. Waitress wasn't very attentive but the food made up for it. Highly recommend.
Roxanne AeschlemanNovember 10, 2013Cheesesteak burrito was perfect! Loved the cheese sauce! Nachos were the best. Good price on appetizers and drinks. Our waiter and busboy were also pleasant. This place place is a must try!- Denver WestwordJuly 23, 2013This fun Highland neighborhood joint has more margarita options than you can shake a stick at. There's something for every taste at both of their daily happy hours.
Great date, friend, family meetup place. Mexican/American food that's not pretentious. Nice staff, decent bar. Always busy. Good happy hr. Owner supports community. (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Allison PatrickJanuary 12, 2013Nothing beats happy hour queso and a margarita. Shrimp tacos super yummy and great weekend brunch too!
The Queso is amazing!! And if debating between shrimp or fish tacos definitely go with shrimp. The fish are good but lacking the flavor that the shrimp have.

Ashley RamosJune 26, 2013Al Pastor tacos! As a Mexican best I've found restaurant wise, I've been deprived since I moved here from CA
Anthony SextonJune 30, 2018Coin margarita is the only drink you need. The jalapeño caps go really well with them.
Jessica DAugust 29, 2013Love the neighborhood! Margaritas are to die for and Chef John Becker knows how to spice up the classics!
ErnestApril 29, 2010Beer's, chips and salsa were great!! The only other thing I would have liked is when the Nuggets, Broncos or Rockies play to turn down the music and turn up the TV's. Please waitresses when asked for
richard sheppardNovember 21, 2015Brunch vegetarian green chili stew,, kept it and mixed chili rellenos, very good,, chase it with a churro
For the parents out there: check out the most badass changing table in the Highlands in the women's bathroom.
