tamale kitchen Denver sells ready-to-heat tamales. they aint fancy, or handmade. they're mass produced, spicy, small creations - 100% perfect to heat on my car engine. UH,... also- did i say - SPICY
I rated this low on the food, as the enchilada sauce tasted like it was from a can. The chicken was minced, which was a really weird take on chicken. Chips and salsa were good as was the service.
No wait. Good food. Okay service. Reasonably priced. Considering the location, I was not expecting as good a meal as I received. Thank you for exceeding my expectations. Good job team!
Some of the worst asada tacos I've ever had. My French Canadian grandmother could do better. Had to squeeze out the last drops of the lime to moisten the dry steak so it was edible.
We didn't wait long for the food after we ordered. The food wasn't bad. They have food specials on certain days of the week. The prices were pretty good. I ordered the smothered steak burrito this time. Plenty of meat.
Not busy, immediate service! Food on table within 4 minutes. Food is good/delicious.
Plenty of seating,
Fun music....

My bill for one person was nearly $18 for lunch. That's fine but for the price I could eat anywhere. Somewhere with comfortable seats and a pleasant atmosphere. I asked if they served chips and salsa with the meal. The waitress said yes but you have to ask for them as she handed me my meal. The best part about a Mexican restaurant is snacking on chips while you wait for you meal. I had to go to the counter to get a drink refill and napkins. The food looked great but lacked flavor. I won't go there any more. For the price I can eat anywhere.
A traditional lunch with traditional Mexican-American dishes. Enchiladas smothered in melted cheese and red sauce, a crispy chile relleno, traditional tacos in the hard shell, rice with kernels of corn and other interesting bits and pieces, thick refried beans, corn chips and red salsa. There was one item with a difference - Mexican egg rolls! They were quite good, crunchy and also chewy, served with a small side of tasty green chile. I would like to go back soon just to try them again. On a Sunday afternoon, the place was moderately busy, but the two young women working the dining room were attentive and cheerful.
