My sister was in town and so the whole family wanted to get together.  This place was a decent compromise in both location and non-threatening variety of food offered.  Alcohol was also a factor, as it should be in all large family gatherings.  I stuck with a Corona, but my mom enjoyed her margarita (was a bit too sour for my tastes).  The food was... well, eh.  Just eh.  I don't know what my parents see in this place, except a very large menu.  I had a supposed specialty- Pollo Poblano- which was pretty bland.  The guac was pretty good, but nothing special.  I would go here again if forced, but obviously, there are far better choices for Mexican food in Denver.

The first time I ate here wasn't too bad.  We started by splitting a pitcher of beer, which probably helped.  The waiter brought out complimentary "mexican candies," which, next to Colon Blow hot sauce, were the hottest things I have ever consumed.  They were fire roasted jalepenos with salty seasoning.  I think this was done to expedite our beer consumption.  Next was a fatty seafood something or other in cream sauce, which wasn't too bad, but the whole experience left me with a raging heartburn.  

The next time I went I ordered the dungeness enchiladas.  The meat was mealy and the whole dish was very salty.  Goodbye Tres Margaritas, congratulations on your success.

First the typical disclaimer.  This is not real Mexican food but the typical cheesy fatty American Mexican.  But this is typical, the food here can be hit or miss based on the couple times I have gone here.  Tonight was nuts they had hour long waits which you would think was becasue the place is that good.  But it was because it was the only restaurant open in several miles due to the blizzard.  They managed to seat everyone that waited and were responsive to their needs for this I have great respect in the service.  The food not so much it was pretty average even after waiting for so long.  If I wasn't so hungry I can guess how bad it would be.  But I can understand with that many people they might have brought their A game...still it is just an average place.

WOW.  This is probably one of the premiere places to get hit on in Denv if you are a fine young lady (like me).  You will remember these lines for..hours, years.  And the food?  Ick!  Too much, too fast, BUT tryin' to retain a rep. you hear?  So, AS-IF that makes if okay, but at least I did lose a shoe here once--that is a fun memory!  But otherwise, met some weirdos and experienced some definite indigestion.  I would guess that depends on the night though...why not give it a try?  Your tum will def. forgive ya.
