    Worth the trek from another terminal (you don't even have to leave security!). Great tequila selection, delicious cocktails, and the carne asada burrito was fantastic. Definitely will come here again!

    This is some of the best airport grub out there. Everything we've had is delish, from the burgers to the burritos to the pork green chile. Good selection of local beers on tap and tasty margaritas!

    2nd time here & they're 2 for 2. Great craft & microbrew beer selection along with the usual domestics. Burritos are large & filling. Being up in 2nd level on it's own makes you feel not in an airport

    Green chili is superb and the flatbread with portabella was a veggie delight; coupled with the service, my visit was so good, I actually forgot for a little while I was at the airport.

    Sit towards the back for true, restaurant feel. If you sit in Tara's section, that's a Bonus! Ordered Veggie Burrito w/side of sweet potato fries and was in yum-heaven!

    This time I added the smokey margarita as the perfect compliment to the sabana de pollo. Make sure you eat here if you have any time at DIA!

    They are not afraid to use chilies and peppers. The chilies and soups have kick! Grab a beer and a water and enjoy.

    When you're stuck in Denver, go to Mesa House and get yourself the churro sundae for it will blow you away! Service was spot on and the prices were ridiculously cheap. Don't smoke? Eat outside! Duh...

    Smoking lounge in Denver Airport. Contemporary Colorado ingredients and dishes. Once seated, the smoke is barely noticeable. Try the Caesar salad or the roasted vegie platter. “More Info" for review Read more
