We are from Texas and this was great Mexican food! Our family ordered the burrito, quesabirria, and street tacos (asada and birria) and everything was excellent. Well done!

This may have been the worst restaurant I have eaten at in years. I ordered the kids Mac N' Cheese and it was so spicy he couldn't eat it. I love spicy food and it was even a bit spicy for me. Why make kids food spicy? Second, I had the Gyro. Probably my first mistake...Greek food at a taco shop. This was without a doubt, bar none, the WORST Gyro I have ever had. I can't even explain how bad it was. No tzatziki sauce, just rock hard, quasi-feta in a cup. Meat was over cooked and out of a bag I am sure, as well as very, very few vegetables. And last, but not least, no ketchup. Fries were served with my Gyro and my son's meal but they just couldn't muster up a bottle of ketchup. Our meal was approximately $45 for the Gyro, Taco Salad and Mac N' Cheese. Just avoid this place please. There are way better restaurants in Estes. We are from a town close to there, we know.

This is not good Mexican food. If you're looking for margaritas they don't have them here. Food tastes like it was out of a can (especially the chicken and queso) and we found whole garlic cloves in the burritos. Wouldn't recommend to anyone

For some reason the restaurants on this street get bad reviews. This place had 4 s we tried it. Nothing fancy. Just good messy Mexican food. The Barria sauce just slayed me. Awesomeness. Great beans and rice. Not much English spoken here. The real deal. May go back tomorrow.

Asada fries are absolutely amazing! We ordered some green chili sayer on the side and dumped it over the top. It was fantastic before adding the green chili and amazing after. Will definitely be back next time we are in Estes Park.

Bad business! Had a horrible experience and the business wouldn't make it right. 1) way overpriced for portion size/quality. I guess you get to charge whatever you want in a "touristy spot" and not deliver. Sad to see. 2) I ordered a 3 taco plate. Very clearly stated on the menu that the plate included 3 tacos, beans, and rice. The plate came out with 2 tacos, not to mention cold/stale beans and rice. When I brought up the missing taco to the waitress, she said they "changed the type of tortilla they use" which is why there were 2 tacos... excuse me? I explicitly asked for the 3 quesobirria taco plate when I ordered and you made no mention of that, plus the menu still said 3 tacos. When I asked for what I ordered for, she refused. Horrible business practice. Terrible experience and I'd encourage you to dine elsewhere.

For starters, the salsa was homemade and delicious. We're Tejanos and know and love our Mexican food - so one true test is the quality of the salsa and this one was good! I had the nachos with pork carnitas - the only critique is that the pork is more like pulled pork not as fried / crisp as the carnitas we're used to - but no matter, the flavor was good! The mole had a nice flavor and not spicy. My daughter enjoyed her birria tacos. The burrito was very good as well! The decor and music are great. I would highly recommend this place!!!!

Probably the best Mexican food in Estes! Food was delicious, tacos were authentic, and the salsa impressed my very picky husband. The staff was incredibly attentive and friendly! This is a great business and I hope it does well because a restaurant like this is needed here!

We stayed in Estes Park for a few days and stumbled across this place. Good food and service was great! Their food was fast - saved us a lot of time when needing a bite to eat before hitting the trails.

Our experience here did not live up to the positive reviews. Other reviews mentioned vegan options, it turns out they changed their menu and quit offering anything like that. We came here specifically for vegetarian options and the server offered no suggestions of anything that could be modified, it was basically take it or leave it. They charge for chips and salsa and they are the tiniest little servings that we had to order multiple. The food in general was not very good and the service was poor, all for a high price tag. Would not recommend.

Flavorless is the first word that comes to mind. The service we received was great. The portions were huge. The restaurant was clean. The food had zero taste. The cheese sauce on the nachos and burrito tasted like plastic. It was impossible to tell the difference between chicken, pork or beef because there was no flavor.

Best Mexican food I have had outside of Texas. My husband had the fish ceviche and I had the pork carnitas tacos. Great flavors and a perfect lunch.

Super good food! If you're looking for a good bite to eat in Estes, this is the place. We stopped in on a whim and were very pleased. I had the carnitas tacos and my kids had a burrito. Found out this is a family run business with excellent customer service.
