Vitamin Yi: Chips and salsa is a must. Green and Orange salsa will blow you away. Authentically pan fried chips. The al pastor is a must...or try one of the fish tacos. Wash your food down with a Cadillac Marg.
Kaila Mazzy: The chips and salsa here is absolutely incredible, must get. Green is the spiciest, orange is my personal favorite. The veggie taco with poblano is delicious, as is any chicken. Solid happy hour also.
Brent Gatewood: Skirt steak quesadilla was great! Everyone talks about chips and salsa - not so much. Great staff. Good Marg. I'll be back...

Brent Gatewood: Tacos were fantastic, great chips and salsa, awesome service!
Erik Rowley: Taco Tuesday is all the rave! Perfect spot to grab margaritas and $1 tacos with friends. The lengua has cow tongue but is especially good, mix it up and try all of them!

Erica Jackson: Loving the chips and salsa! Carnitas are very good too 👍🏾
David Gannon: Our favorite neighborhood haunt. We have coined it LaFogata Friday's because THAT is the day we usually go. LOVE LOVE the staff, the chicken, and the best dish - Taquitos de Pollo Asada.
Brad Friedman: Neighborhood place we make it into at least once a week. Try the Chili Rellanos or beef burritos. I hear the House Margs are good too.

Brad Friedman: Love the beef taco in the homemade taco shell. Family owned place we've been going to for many years!
Rippin Skiers: Go to La Cocina de Marcos and get the beef taco. It's the best I've had in town and make sure to be getting their homemade taco shell. Try it with and without their salsa http://rippinskiers.com

Brandon West: Good, authentic Mexican food that has been here for nearly 40 years. Fresh chips and salsa are free and the food is a great value. Try the tacos albanil.
tobias strohe: Eat here rather than one of the "hip" places in the Highland's. It's authentic, unpretentious, and the best Mexican food I have had in Denver at a great price.
Josh Frank: Spicy salsa, solid dishes, fantastic margs. Worth a trip or five back.
