I give this a 2. 1 star for the chips and 1 star for the salsa?.dining experience was terrible. food tastes like it was made by... a child and presentation was also a childhood masterpiece. Rice tasted like I ate the end of a dry erase marker due to theamount of garlic in it. And the margarita I?m sure was nothing but tequila and ice even though they boasted of a house blendmix.

I was very surprised by this resultant. Had very good food. Food was prepared well and had very authentic flavors. Would highly... recommend the chili rellenos, they were delicious. The chicken tacos were also very good. They had fresh made tortillas with twotypes of salsa, the verde was wonderful. Defiantly worth a try if you are in the area. Read more

Chachos. Now that I got your attention for my Texas peeps, this is the closest thing Ive had to Chachos in Colorado. Yep if you... know, you know?.. Margaritas are strong and very tasty (get a pitcher of the cadillac). Order the habanero salsa (not on themenu but ask for it, its way better than the regular red and green. Im not a fan of the chips, they taste store bought. Thehavanero salsa though is fantastic. The tropical shrimp skewers were absolutely fantastic and the crab shrimp ceviche was alsoreally good. Our waiter Wally was extremely pleasant and very attentive even with all the people he was serving. He had a smilethe entire time and took very good care of us. I hope management takes as good care of him as he did for us. My only downsideswere the chips (ok but ive had better) and the fact that we are in a parking lot with no good view but thats not their fault.Its a good size patio and everyone is happy. This place would be perfect as a lake front restaurant. 5 stars still holdsfirmly. Read more

We were driving from Ft. Collins to Denver and looking for somewhere to eat Mexican. I found this place and give a try since... those pics of foods looks great. The restaurant was easy to find, the music sounds already Mexican. When we went inside, all thestuff were smiling and friendly. My husband ordered Cadillac margarita and it was Sunday so he got 2 for 1 price! He said it wassuper good. I ordered shrimp and that?s so delicious. We will definitely come back! Read more

Great slightly upscale Mexican restaurant. The menu has a lot of options and the prices are higher than the usual Mexican... restaurant. The house chips and dip are unique and really good. Some of the dishes with a cream sauce are a little heavy andvery rich. Read more

???? Vegans can eat here (black beans don't have lard) BUT the rice is cooked in chicken stock and the potatoes are cooked in... butter. Food was bland.. A great option to be more vegan friendly would be a simple bean, potato, and veggie burrito, withoutcooking the potatoes in butter. Probably won't be back to visit for a WHILE. We love margaritas and it was hard for us to evenfinish one ???? The positive is that they have free chips and good salsas. Read more
