“Food truck in Gas station parking lot. Two tables with umbrellas. Limited meat selection (Asada, Chorizo, Chicken & Carnitas). Nice view of the foothills.Parking: Gas station parking.Kid-friendliness: I'm sure the kiddos will eat from the selection.“
“Loved this place, atmosphere was fantastic and there were two men performing live music and the one who was singing was really good!Chips and salsa were great. (First round is free but refills are $2)We ordered the combo appetizer and that’s where I discovered the chicken Taquitos and wow I sure loved those, I would come back and order those again!For mains my husband had the chicken nachos and I had the Mexican flag enchiladas (the pork being my favorite of the three and not really caring for the chicken or ground beef)Both of the mains we thought were okay but the side of rice and beans that came with my enchiladas were great!I recommend this place and I would steer everyone to the chicken taquitos!“
“Always love qdoba's food here was good. The service was good and fairly quick. It could be because the staffing issues but did not seem super clean at the tables or bathroom definitely something to work on. But as I said the food was good got the nachos which I always love. I really feel comfortable eating food in a restaurant cleanliness is important and it always makes me worried if the place is dirty what does it look like behind the counter what I don't see.“
“Vegetarian options: Ask and they will make and deliver to car .Dietary restrictions: Very attentive and exact.Kid-friendliness: Such outstanding costumer service with kids unruly picky ness and order decisions.Wheelchair accessibility: Good“
“This might be one of my favorite handheld burritos I have ever had. I had the Chupacabra, and although it was incredible, the Burro my wife got might have been even better. I found it odd they didn't have hot sauce out for usage, but I asked for some, and their kitchen-made Mango Dragon Ghost stuff was MAGICAL. They don't sell it yet, but they should. We will definitely be back to try some other options. Cool atmosphere to just hang out also. Definitely recommend...On the record. Best breakfast burrito I have had in Denver since moving here in 1997. Chupacabra is magic, the original and Diesel Drip hot sauces are awesome, they have a bar, they have great tunes, and the red onion add was worth a buck or two. I can't speak for lunch, but this is a must in CO for a breakfast burrito. I didn't take a picture of the burrito with tinfoil off because I was too excited to eat it. They also ask for your temp choice. The hot is incredible, but be ready for it. Definitely recommend and see you there (next time I am out in Golden).“
“Amazing staff so friendly, warm and authentic interior atmosphere, and extremely good food. One of those places you eat at and realize you’ve never had authentic Mexican food before. It will be hard to go back to American Mexican after eating here. Try the flan but forget everything you know about flan, this is 100x better.“
“Absolutely incredible Mexican food. I moved from Texas 2 years ago and this is the only place in Denver that I have found that is truly good food. Better than most places back home too. Amazing service and super friendly. I will 100% be coming back.“
“A quintessential “hole-in-the-wall” - El Callejon is a hidden gem. The food is AMAZING, all cooked to order, and almost everything on the menu is gluten free. Seating is limited, but on nice days we sit outside anyway. We have been here a handful of times and will be back many more!Dietary restrictions: Tons of gluten free options and easily modified for dairy-free!“
“My wife and I stopped in here for Valentine's Day. We saw very good reviews in recent months and thought it was time to visit. We were not disappointed. It is just down the street from us, but we hadn't had a chance to check it out since it became Mexico Lindo. As others have said, do NOT let the fact it is next to a gas station dissuade you whatsoever. The food was excellent!The flavors of everything we had were vibrant and varied. I don't honestly know the difference between Mexican food and Tex-Mex (as others in these reviews say they do), but some have said this is true Mexican.The atmosphere is similar to the previous place, but they have switched up the paintings, the pottery, and the wall of birthday photos has disappeared. It was nice to go to a place where the heat is actually on. It was warm and cozy. There are still about 8 booths and several tables with wood and ceramic tiling.To start, one nice thing here is in addition to salsa and chips they also provided a warm and creamy bean and queso dip. We polished that off in a blink of an eye. Very good!My wife had the Mole Enchiladas and I had the Enchiladas Divorciadas (especially loved the Culichi sauce). We also had a 1/2 carafe of sangria. If the prices seem a little high to some people it is because you get huge portions (we ate half and took half home). Even so, prices here are on par with most quality restaurants post-Covid. Again, the flavors of all the dishes were vibrant and interesting to us.For dessert we had the flan. Their flan might be a little bigger portion than what we have had elsewhere and just the right sweetness and consistency.We definitely plan to go back. Their dine-in menu is quite extensive. The waitress was very personable and friendly as was the hostess. Since it was Valentine's Day they filled up while we were there (we got there around 4:30 p.m.) though we did not have to wait to be seated at that time of day.We highly recommend this eatery whether you are local to Conifer or passing through to or from the mountains or Denver.Vegetarian options: Although we did not have any of the vegetarian options there is a separate section on the menu with them. You may want to check with them as to which sauces might include pork (if any)?Dietary restrictions: You may want to call them concerning gluten-free and other options. I did not note what options (if any) they had.Parking: Most of the parking is in front of the restaurant and near the gas pumps (perpendicular to rt. 285), but there is more parking on the other side (the south side) of the gas pumps and building.Kid-friendliness: This is a family-oriented restaurant and we did see a couple of kids during our visit, but since it was Valentine's Day it was mostly adult couples.Wheelchair accessibility: The restaurant is on the ground floor. There are no stairs inside or outside and the front door is standard width (I assume wheelchair accessible).“
“A bit on the expensive side but the food was very good. It was freezing inside so we ate with our coats on. Really didn't care for the metal chairs especially when you paying a high dollar for Mexican food. We asked for more chips but the server didn't bring them until our food came out so really kind of a waste. We will give it another try the next time we are in the area.“
