In Short
Customers can stop by the colorful, fun bar for a drink or head into one of the pretty dining rooms, where owners Norma and Alfonso Nunez are usually on the scene. Chunky and fresh guacamole starts many meals. Entrees include taquitos, burritos, tacos and chicken mole: grilled chicken breast served with a thick sauce made of chilies, vanilla wafers, cinnamon graham crackers, garlic, marjoram and Mexican chocolate. Rice, beans, guacamole and tortillas complete the dish.

I have never been treated so horribly by any one in my life. Seriously. I received terrible service one night after being a faithful customer for numerous years. I thought that mgmt should know so I asked to talk to the manager. It was the brother (I can't remember his name - his sister Molly is a co-owner). When I explained the service problems, he proceeded to treat me so horribly it took me by surprise. One of the statements he made to me was: "who do you think you are? You are nobody." I was a faithful customer until that point.

What can make a really great restaurant go so far amiss? La Cueva was once one of the better places to eat in town. The menu, the food, the selection -- the food was fresh, the salsa and sauces were spicy and flavorful. It was all good. But I was there last night with five other people and we were all disappointed. The salsa was all onions and little else. In fact, carelessly prepared onions were the item of the day. My fish--which appeared to be a poorly prepared fish stick out of the Costco freezer section--was doused in fried onions and a salsa that could easy be beat by anything in a Taco Bell condiment station. The sad thing is: the service was still friendly and tried to be accommodating. But whatever was going on in La Cueva's kitchen was very poor in quality.

This mexican restaurant just outside of denver was probably the best I've found in Colorado. Great spice to all the dishes I have tried and delicious margs. The service was decent, although, they couldn't keep up with how quickly I was downing the chips and salsa! That's probably not their fault! I recommend this to everyone, they always like it too. It's a little bit of a drive for those of us downtown, but well worth it!
