    Love this place! This location is so much better than the one near Twin Peaks mall.  The service was impeccable!

    Order the horchata! It's not on the menu but it's sooooooo tasty it should be.

    This is a local chain with several locations around the Denver area. Great festive atmosphere in this place.  The staff is very friendly and attentive. The chips and salsa were tasty and the best in town so far.  

    They have a HUGE specialty drink menu.  I tried of of the high-class margaritas (they have so very many of them I can't remember the name of the one I tried) and was very impressed with it.  

    Since it was Ash Wednesday, I ordered a seafood dish from their large selection of these, which consisted of barbecued shrimp on a large bed of sauced rice, tomatoes, lettuce, peppers and onions.  The dish was delicious, even though I had to peel off the shrimp shells, which I was not expecting to have to do.  

    I tried the house flan for dessert - the only weak point in the meal.  The flan was hard and rubbery in texture, although it had a pleasant flavor - I think it may have been overcooked.

    All in all, a very nice Tex-Mex style restaurant that reminded me of home.

    When we're looking for a reliably good mexican restaurant, we head to Tres Margaritas.  Our favorite is the fiesta plate and the crispy chili rellenos.  Some of the menu is just ok, but if you find something you like it will always be consistently good.  Waitstaff is attentive, adn teh chips and salsa is always available (although they keep changing up the salsas)  Even my Mexican friends will eat here as a treat, so you know it must be good.

    We're not a big fan of their bar.  Margaritas don't have their typical sweetness.

    Mariachi and the guitar-playing singer aren't my favorites, so we try to stay away on those nights.

    This is what I call a "safe" Mexican joint. The food is very good, and they have a large selection on the menu. Some of the items I've tried seam real unique, and I enjoyed the way they use fruits in some of the dishes. They have some very good salads, and that's not something I'll usually order at a Mexican restaurant. They have quite a few locations in the Metro area, and all of the ones I've tried are good. Take note of the cool hand painted chairs and tables, it adds a real artistic flare.

    Oh yeah, and my default photo was taken at this place, having a shrimp and spinach salad.

    WATCH YOUR CREDIT CARDS HERE FOLKS!!!!!

    My waiter helped himself to a 60% tip on my credit card. I called and spoke to a manager and they confirmed it, said they'd take care of it...they didn't. I wrote a letter to them as a follow up. They ignored me. I reported it to the Police and BBB. CROOKS!!!! They have lost a customer for life because of their piss poor customer service. BeWARE.

    Yuck. One more crappy chain in Longmont that serves "Mexican" food. Taco Bell is right down the street, you might find more authentic Mexican food there. A canned Margarita is a canned Margarita, and 3 of them won't make it any better.

    The salsa was freshly made with little bits of cilantro and scallions mixed in and had a good spicy kick. The chips were good and crunchy, warm, and not oily. The food was very good, even though I'm difficult to please in the Mexican food category. I'm from Texas, where every little town has an amazing Mexican restaurant. Since I've been in Colorado, I've had a hard time finding Mexican food that doesn't taste like pot roast in a tortilla sitting in a puddle of enchilada sauce and a bunch of green chiles. 3 Margaritas surprised me. I had the chipotle chicken enchiladas lunch. Besides the 2 large enchiladas, it comes with Mexican rice, refried beans, and some kind of cabbage/carrot slaw. I drank water with lemon. My bill was $6.92. That's cheaper than a Big Mac combo, and it was yummy and very filling. It's similar to sour cream chicken enchiladas, but with a smoky, spicy kick from the addition of chipotle peppers in the sauce, and topped with Monterrey jack. I'll be going back to sample more from their huge menu.

    OK, this is a chain but the food is great. If you are looking for a little eclectic hole in the wall this is not the place. It can be loud when busy, which is most of the time. The portions are huge, the chips are fresh an the salsa is good. I have never had a dish I didn't like here but now that I have discovered the Molcajete, I can't make myself order anything else. It is enough for two or three people and comes in a giant stone bowl that keeps it hot, plus another huge plate of condiments to put on your creations. I don't know how to describe it to do it justice but it is like fajitas on steroids. The only drawback is I would like to have more tortillas so I wouldn't have to stuff them so full.

    Delicious food, friendly staff, and fun mariachi music! Definitely a great place to take the kids, or large groups, as they have nice, big tables to accomodate large families and groups.

    Wow, really great Mexican restaurant.  Where to begin, you are greeted with a friendly smile when you walk in.  This place is huge and bustling on a Saturday night.  The decor is very Mexican inspired but not overly so.  Once seated you are quickly asked for your drink order and the margarita options are endless.  I went with the Las Rocas and it was big, good and strong.  They also bring delicious chips with 3 types of salsa!  The options are spicy, mild and a new favorite a spicy mushroom!  So very interesting, kinda like ceviche but made with mushrooms and jalapenos.  I've never tasted someyhing so good and interesting in my life, YUMMY.  The menu is extensive here, There are at least 5 pages of small typed options, so much to try and so little time.  I went for the enchilada, tostada combo with the green tomatillo sauce, fricking awesome!  Everyone else also stuck to the green tomatillo sauce with their various options and everyone was super satisfied.  Oh and the dessert menu was outrageous and we had to try, one dessert was enough for 5 people.  We tried the banana chimichanga with cajeta sauce, ice cream and whip cream.  The service was very good, after placing the order we were served in what seemed like 5 mins!  Multiple servers were very attentive, water was always filled as well as salsas.  Also be sure to ask for their hot sauce for you meal, homemade and a perfect kick to it.

    Ordered takeout from here. Really good, even though my entree was a little cold, it was still tremendous in terms of taste. The salsa was homemade with just the right amount of cilantro and came in a dixie cup, yet so damn tasty I cherished every drop of it like manna from heaven. Great stuff!

    We tried them with some visiting relatives last month.  We liked 3 Margs so much we took more visitors there 2 days later.  Great atmosphere and waitstaff.  Consistent food taste/quality and an extensive menu.  They were great about letting us substitute items from the combo platters we ordered too!  We will be back often.
