Reviews for Efrain's of Boulder Mexican Restaurant in Boulder, CO

We got lucky and found one of the best Mexican restaurants in Boulder (that's what the other guests told us while we waited). I... got the Efrain Burrito = "delectables covered in who knows what" is the description. I took the chance and it was delicious.House Margarita was good. Wait staff was attentive. The only negative is the place is small and demand is high, so expect towait a bit... worth it. Read more

We dropped in for dinner and drinks after hearing about this place. It reminded us of our favorite family-run Tex-Mex joints... back in Texas. Plentiful and fast chips and salsa, well-priced strong margaritas, and hot, flavorful, home-cooked food. For us,Efrain's is the perfect "comfort food" restaurant, and we will return again and again!

We had a great meal at Efrain?s tonight complete with a rainbow view. Do take the heat readings seriously! The Efrain?s Famous... Chile Verde bowl was fantastic and earned the 10/10 heat scale! The Efrain Burrito was gigantic and delicious. My kiddos werehappy with their hamburger and chicken tacos. We hope to be back soon! Read more

I called to get carry out and I ordered fajitas. The girl told me they won?t do fajitas to go??? I decided to order some... enchiladas and a bunch of sides to make my own fajitas. The girl explained to me I couldn?t order a side of cheese, only chilicon queso??? So I said fine I?ll have that I guess. I got home with my order and the order was completely wrong including someinsanely spicy beef stew looking thing and like a tomato soup. The enchiladas were so drowning in tomato sauce I could evenfigure out what they were! Absolutely terrible experience. The beans and rice were good so at least I got to eat something. Idon?t know how this place has been around for so long. Read more

Excellent food and service, highly recommend for authentic Mexican cuisine. My sister has been raving about their food for... forty years. Although this may be new location, it has same great food. Read more

We LOVE Efrain?s! They always hit the spot with their delicious fajitas, tostadas, and enchiladas! My husband and I eat here... once a week, and it never disappoints. It can be pretty busy on a Friday or Saturday night, but we?ve never waited all that longon busier evenings. The service is always top-notch and everyone is very friendly and kind. I also love that they keep the chipsand salsa coming! I absolutely love their Boulder Margarita, and they have about 15+ different selections of margaritas tochoose from so everyone is happy! My favorite meal is the chicken fajitas. You will not be disappointed-they give you a massiveportion with lots of delicious guacamole, beans, rice, and sour cream to enjoy your fajitas with, which I really enjoy. Bestfajitas in Boulder hands down. My husband loves their blue corn enchiladas. I would also like to mention that they are glutenfree conscious, and have many items that are 100% gluten free to choose from! This is a Boulder gem of a restaurant! Read more

The reviews were very good yet the food didn't stand up to it's reputation. Service was awesome. Orlando did a great job.... Overall the green chili was more like soup. Very thin and not a lot of substance, just like the salsa on the table. Great littleplace for a quick lunch. They get you in and out. Read more

Visited this restaurant on our way back from Rocky Mountain National Park. I thought this going to be mediocre food. Easy access... from road, staffs are so nice, very neat place. We ordered Efrain ( super delicious, must try, very big plate), beef burrito (spicy and delicious, they can adjust the spice), beef chimichanga ( best one we had), vegetarian taco( so tasty, spicy loversask for more, their sauce is very tasty). This is one of the best Mexican food we had, its not Tex-Mex, if you are passingthrough Denver or Boulder definitely try this place. Not at all expensive, quantity is really good. We will definitely try forour next visit. Read more
