      Probably my favorite Mexican restaurant in town.

      Food is always fantastic, fresh, and just all around delicious. Their mole is great, the chicharrón is thick and crunchy, their chili is spicy, and their rellenos come out crispy. I usually get a combination that includes the rellenos.

      Margaritas are delicious and strong, add a coronarita to it.

      Staff and service is attentive, friendly, fast, and just great.

      Never had anything less than a great meal here, and anyone I've ever taken here has been impressed. Huge patio is awesome in warmer weather.

      Will continue to come back whenever I can.

      The service was pretty decent, but the food is pretty bland and is missing a level of flavor that can be achieved around the corner. I mean flavor, not salt. Anyways, I hope there is a reboot to the menu/dishes, because they should be fire based on what the menu depicts.

      For reference, I had the fundido and veggie fajitas and both were waaaay too oily. Like I legit had to gulp down water and hope for the best.

      Classic Denver spot. The patio is amazing, the margs are strong, the food is solid, and the service is fast.

      Immaculate food, immaculate vibes outside, immaculate servers. Ordered the steak fajita burrito plate which was insane. One of my new favorite places

      The experience at this Mexican restaurant was decent at best. The dishes, while authentic, lacked the vibrant flavors one might expect. The service was adequate, but not particularly noteworthy. The ambiance of the restaurant was pleasant, yet it didn't quite capture the lively spirit of Mexican culture. Overall, it's an okay option if you're in the area, but it might not live up to the expectations of those seeking a truly memorable Mexican dining experience.

      This was our first visit to El Noa Noa. It was a beautiful afternoon and we were looking for a restaurant with a patio to enjoy the pleasant weather. El Noa Noa was the place to be! The al fresco area is gorgeous, with shady tables and a little water fountain (that wasn't working, unfortunately). The food was just okay, standard Denver Mexican fare that's a little greasy and salty. They have gluten free and vegetarian options, which is much appreciated. Worth a try.

      Stopped in for dinner on our way to the Santa Fe first Friday Art walk. Great food and drinks. Reasonably priced with good service. Very casual atmosphere. They prefer cash but accept credit cards too. Yes, I'll be back!

      I stopped by here today with my family who's visiting from out of town, and overall we had a great time. We were instantly drawn to this place because of the beautiful patio area, and ended up staying because of the tasty guacamole and drinks! Plus their Horchata is top notch- best I've had in awhile!

      Never go on a First Friday it's a zoo! They have a limited PREMADE menu. They will tell you it's made to order but we got our food in four minutes so you do the math. Came out cold and cheese wasn't even melted and they blamed that on the windy night? They seem to take no responsibility for anything they do wrong. The patio is disgusting because you're sitting right on Santa Fe. Hair and napkins flew onto our table and onto our queso. I've had better food at Taco Bell in the 90's to be honest. The margaritas mix is thick and viscous. It's horrible. I left out the agave and then put it in bc they were so sour. They Cousy don't know how to make a coin style drink. They blamed me for removing the agave as it messed with the integrity of the drink as if they take their time preparing. And don't use a premade bottled mix. It was in a large glass. A coin style?
      Go to first Friday find an awesome food truck and get drinks somewhere else. You will thank me.

      Overpriced for the most barely average, under seasoned food... marg mix was pretty rough so I'd recommend a beer. Ambience was great though and location good but can't recommend otherwise
