Worst Service on the Planet!!!

by lalomaserviceisawful

I consider myself a burrito, fajita, enchilada, tostada, margarita and nacho expert. The level you don't have to take a class on. While I certainly believe La Loma has great fajitas, their lousy service can't make up for it. I have been a patron of La Loma's for over 20 years and over the years the service has been atrocious. I keep going back based on loyalty, although after tonight, never again!!! We actually had a server tell us he was TOO BUSY to take our order. After consulting with management, who asked us to stay on her tab, we opted out and went for fast food. The service at Good Times was exceptionally better than that at La Loma. Being a native, I can recommend far better jaunts than this. If you would like great Mexican, any Santiago's is far better. Julia Blackbird in the Highland area offers amazing New Mexican eats as does Jack and Grill. For simple fajitas, Chili's never disappoints, and all the while hold their staff to high standards. Hacienda Colorado is also a fantastic place for food and drinks. They put their staff through a strenuous training process and even a disappointed customer never walks out of there feeling bad. La Loma should look into the same! The service was way below par.

• Pros: Fajitas
• Cons: Arrogant staff

Credit Card Fraud! La Loma no bueno!!

by yardsale

We went to La Loma after the most recent Denver Broncos game to enjoy a few drinks and a nice meal. We were seated and waited around for a little while for a waiter. After around 10 minutes I got up asked the hostess if she could send someone over she obliged and I went to sit for another 10 minutes. No waiter 20 minutes in to our dining nightmare. So to ease the thirsty patrons I was dining with myself and another went to the bar inside and ordered 4 margaritas. We told the bartender who i believe was the manager on duty that we had no service and decided to get our own drinks. No response! Nice! After 30 mintues our waiter finally showed up with no remorse or apology. I believe the waiter was not even old enough to be serving liquor in CO. ANyway we finally got our subpar food sipped our overpriced watered-down margaritas and left extremely unsatisfied. On the way out we paid our tab at the hostess stand told the manager(bartender) about how horrible his service was gave a 8 or 10% tip and left.

One week later after checking our bank account we noticed that a 20% tip was added to the bill. We were a party of four for those of you thinking they automatically add it on. Our bank was thankfully kind and rejected the bill for us.

I would not recommend this place to anyone the food is extremely microwavable tasting and the margaritas are more watered down than their coke. On top of that they believe in rewarding horrible service. I believe the kid serving us was barely 17 if not 16 and stole money from my bank account.

We have placed a call to the Beter Business Bureau to report the incident.

At least the Broncos won so all was not lost that day!!

A little piece of heaven

by burdygirl13

La Loma is hands down the best Mexican Restaurant in Denver. I have taken just about everyone I know and they have never served anything less than a spectacular meal. The chimicangas are mouth watering and unlike most restaurants they serve the green chili on the side so the chimi remains crispy. The rellenos are also about the best I have ever had. The side dishes, typical beans and rice are not your standard fair both having wonderful flavor but being slightly different from your mainstream mexican joints. I know many people are either a fan of green or red but not of both but you really need to try them both here. They have a descent margarita and the service is typically speedy and friendly.

• Pros: Wide open dining areas
• Cons: The parking lot

Set in a historic northeast Denver home, this upscale casual Mexican restaurant has been a dining and drinking institution for decades.

Over rated and priced

by hansumaumau

Not bad, but not great either. The atmosphere was nice, the giant Margs were Tasty. I ordered the Tacos al carbone and they were just wrong and pricey. A great Mexican should have great tacos in my opinion. The menu was pretty limited. I might go back to give it another try, but not any time soon.

• Pros: margs
• Cons: Tacos al Carbon

Good Mexican Food

by janeenlouie

As far as affordable mexican food goes this place is pretty good. We went on a weeknight so it was fairly empty and the service was good. I've had better mexican food in town but I would probably go back.

• Pros: Affordable
• Cons: Standard Mexican Food

Magnifico!

by marchelaw

I first ate at La Loma in the late 1980's. It's food has maintained a high level of quality and I've never been disappointed. You may, though, wait for dinner or even lunch service if you go without a reservation or during peak times. It's worth the wait - relax and have a wonderful margarita on the rocks. On a warm day or evening the patio area will make you want to stay all night. No wonder there can be a wait for tables. Don't miss going.

• Pros: parking, ambiance, food
