What a great place! Genuine fine recipes used for generations in this family, originally from Guanajuato. Family owned for 40 years, they use healthy and fresh ingredients to make fresh and delicious sauces. Fine cuisine in a casual atmosphere. Worth a special trip.…
No appreciation.
I have read ALL the reviews and some seem like one time incidents handled poorly but some right on the mark!!!!!!!!!!!! I have been coming to La Cueva for 10+ years and the service has remained the
same (unappreciative and cold).The mom would occassionally give dirty looks as if customers weren't welcome but I came to ignored her and continued to enjoy my food. Until about 3 years ago.I thing I love about Mexican food is the quality and price. But at La Cueva, the menu prices keep increasing but the food portions / quality are decreasing? So you would expect if the pricing goes up so does the quality, service and automosphere. Correct? But it has not. The enchiladas are 3inches wide with minimal cheese inside (I measured it once) and the burritos are all tortilla. The green chile is good but just water on the weekdays and hot / flavorful on the weekends. I have had occassions where my food order was just wrong (either something was in it or it wasn't as I asked). On neither events did the owner (Molly, mom or son) acknowledge and offered an apology/comp the food. One one occasion, my daughter's order was wrong and my husband told Molly. Molly called her cooking staff " a stupid broad" and walked off; never apologizing (as if we were to agree with her abusive language). I personally found her comment unprofessional and disrespectful to her staff member. SO, if you feel like getting some good mexican food; come here but only on the weekends. Don't expect ANY customer service. Bring your own positive outlook and LEAVE, not expecting anything else.
Pros: Good food
Cons: Poor Customer Service, Hit or miss on food quality, Small portions, Expensive…
Do not let the negative reviews turn you away. My family has been eating at la cueva for over 30 years, i ate guacamole there for my first time at 6 months. I love la cueva, i think of the Nunez family and some of the staff as an addition to my own family. it curdles my blood to see what these people are saying about la cueva and it's proprietors. the food is great the staff is friendly, its an independently owned restaurant thats gone from a hole in the wall to a relatively well known place with many faithful customers and a lovely atmosphere. my favorite meals include, but are not limited to the la cueva combination, chicken fajitas, and chicken mole enchiladas…
Delicious!. My husband an I love La Cueva - you really can't go wrong. Try the Mole, its the best in town!!!
Have not been back for two years. My wife and I were customers since the days when the center blue section was the restaurant. We went, faithfully every Friday. Two years ago on a Friday afternoon we arrived at La Cueva at about 4:30 PM, planning to meet our grown son and his girl friend. The restaurant was not crowded at that time so my wife and I were seated right away. We chose to wait to order until our son came but we ordered drinks. About five minutes after our drinks arrived, Molly's mother came to our table and gave us a chewing out for sitting at a table before all of our party had arrived (there still empty tables) this was in front of those in the restaurant. We decided to leave and I asked the waitress from the drink bill. She felt so bad about our treatment, she bought our drinks. We have not returned, and we have yet to find good Mexican food someplace else in Aurora nor Denver.…
