In Short
The large dining area's light walls, bright Mexican artwork, hardwood floors and potted plants create an inviting space for more than 20 tables. The cuisine is somewhat traditional during the lunch rush, but becomes more adventurous at night. Assertively spiced dishes go beyond seam-busting burritos. Starters include the fresh tuna- or posole-topped nachos. Main dishes flaunt tequila-poached shrimp, pumpkin-crusted tilapia, seared tuna, and a mole-draped grilled flank steak paired with a short-rib enchilada.

Some friends and I had the tasting dinner on Monday night and it was the best 9 courses of little tastes and flavors I have experienced in a long time. Lovely pork chop centers and mashed potatoes with Mission figs - what a great combo; lobster and salmon and scallops, ceviche in little cucumber cups, and simply neat combinations of flavors. It is a nice atmosphere and feels private, although there were lots of people there that night. We started the evening with lovely flavored margueritas and a mojito. If you like food that is interesting and presented like art work, this is the place to visit. Great waitstaff who didn't hover but were friendly and nearby. They soon will be open for brunch and I will be headed back for that. Try it for drinks and dinner!!!

My husband and I live in central Denver and frequent many of the Cherry Creek North restaurants, but Tula is by far our favorite. We're addicted to the Tradicional margarita and have had just about everything on the menu. My new favorite is the salmon (especially now that swimsuit season is around the corner) but my husband can't get enough of the tilapia. I would recommend Tula for both a quick bite before a movie or for a full dinner in one of the cozy booths.

Underwhelmed? Maybe, I just don't get it. I realize this location may be doomed for any restaurant.. The interior is nice. The female bartender this past Saturday night was unimpressive and unhelpful. It took her fifteen minutes to acknowledge my husband and I, sitting at a table in the bar area. She then walked over, placed the menu's and drink list on the table and said, "I'll be back." It took her another ten minutes to take our drink order. We then moved to the bar, thinking it would allow us to have faster service. My silver coin margarita was weak and had little taste. We then ordered our food and it literally took 3 minutes from the time she ordered it! I guess it was faster. I finished my margarita as dinner arrived. The bartender never came back to ask if I wanted another one until I finished with dinner and was ready for the check. The bartender told me to order the Tuna, in her words, "FABULOUS." In my words, "Tasteless and utterly boring." My husband had the tilapia and it too was boring and lacked flavor. The other thing I would like to mention is the previous good reviews about this restaurant. They are all within a three month period (7/06 - 9/06.) Either it was good when it opened or the staff wrote the reviews? Hmmmm. I also wonder how it made the latest issue of 5280 for places you must eat in Denver? Strange.
