Tacos galore!. Holy Tacos! I cannot believe how many new additions are on their menu. If you like spice and variety, head straight for the Blue Bonnet. Their grilled pineapple salsa on the veggies taco sets your tongue on fire - delicious. I also had their chicken adobado taco, not spicy at all and love the rub on the chicken. I went side salad instead of rice and beans and regretted my decision so much, I ordered a side of rice and beans. I just adore their black beans with pico de gallo on top and rice. Nothing like a sopapilla to finish off the meal. Next time I have to try the fried ice cream, sounds interesting! View Less …
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.. Until recently, many moons have passed since I ate here. Ugh. Me wantem wampum back. We used to go here alot when you could get a burrito and a beer or margarita for 5 bucks. Neither were authentic or very good, but it was always rocking and the atmosphere was fun. I think they created there own little niche and they should have stuck with it. For some reason, they started changing stuff. The prices sky-rocketed while the quality plummeted. Trying to upgrade is the only reason I can think of. It didn't work. Too many great places now and this isn't one of them. They should have stuck with their little niche. View Less …
I did not like it. I simply did not like it. I mean it was average. There are so many better Mexican food places in Denver. I guess I heard this place was very good, so I was disappointed. View Less …
So exited about tamales!. I saw the owner of the restaurant on Bertha Lynn's newscast last week for Day of the Dead. He had these tamales on display so I had to go in and try them. They were DELICIOUS!!!!! I was very impressed they were not too greasy like so many can be. I also tried the pasole and was angry that I only got the cup and not a bowl. It was awesome! I went through an entire basket of chips myself dipping them into the pasole. The wait staff were very friendly and attentive. I hadn't been to the Blue Bonnet in years and was extremely happy I saw them on tv and got the idea to go there again. Well worth it!!! I need to put the Blue Bonnet back on my radar for a regular stop. View Less …
cardboard cuisine. I started eating Mexican food in the early 60s as a kid with my family at the Bullfighter on So. Colo. Blvd by U. Hills. I discovered Ticos on Evans by D.U. as a teenager. In our high school years, we would smoke up an appetite at Wash. Park and satisfy it at Ticos. It was the 60s. Everybody did it. Great sopapillas with ice cream and wine sauce, or cinnamon and honey. Not to speak the bean and sour cream burritos. And how about the Havana Inn? The Holly Inns? Then a friend took me to El Paso del Norte on Larimer downtown. This is when Larimer was a dangerous place to go, before all the yupsters showed up. You had to speak a little Spanish, but I could not get enough of that authentic stuff. I still love Taco de Mexico and a dozen little Taquerias on the West Side. When I became legal to drink, you couldnt keep me out of The Riv in Glendale, down the street from Celebrity. Id stop there for pool, beer and burritos almost on a daily basis, year after year. I have eaten hundreds, perhaps thousands, of times at Tex-Mex places like Bennys, Noa Noa, Chubbys, Satire, La Loma, El Tejado, La Cueva, Las Delicias, Mexico City Lounge, La Fogata, Santiagos, La Fiesta, BB2, D View Less …
