This restaurant is busted. The server had an attitude and overcharged us. She got my friend’s order wrong and somehow it was my friend’s fault. The food was soggy. Normally chile rellanos are nice and crispy but this was not. I do not recommend this place AT ALL

Good meal. Always looking for good Mexican food that rivals what I’m used to from Texas. My late lunchtime to go order was the Short Ribs & Chili Rejenos. Both very flavorful. The neighborhood was questionable on Colfax such that I’m not sure I’d feel safe going to dinner at night. Parking was very limited with only the street parking on Colfax.

Really enjoyed our meal here. We both had a combo plate with cheese and onion enchilada, beef taco and tostada. Enjoyed a raspberry beer and house margarita as well. Great service.

Great local, family owned Mexican restaurant on Colfax. They’ve got quite a bit of seating, and a full bar with a HUGE selection of Tequilas, as well as draft beers, and many margaritas!
Their food is reasonably priced, about as much as a combo at a fast-food place nowadays, but for healthy, wholesome, delicious, and heartily-portioned food!
I particularly enjoyed the smothered chicken burritos, mmm.
It’s also got a very warm, cozy atmosphere, with low, sultry lighting. Great vibe and atmosphere.
The owners and staff are incredible and very friendly! I felt right at home. I’ll be back again soon; thanks! =D

Great service and atmosphere! The food was very good and not your typical Mexican fare. It seemed elevated with interesting sauces. The green chili sauce was excellent. I liked that they have daily lunch specials and I will dine here again.

The food is amazing! The staff are amazing. I’ve been coming here since I can remember and my family has been coming for even longer. The food has never disappointed. Any time I’m in town I have to come here or my trip isn’t complete.

Cute restaurant, friendly staff.
TERRIBLE FOOD! TERRIBLE neighborhood
The starter of STALE chips and semi-frozen watery tomato and onion sauce [not salsa] with zero flavor was followed up with a $10 order of “nachos” which was more stale chips refried black bean with a smattering of melted white cheese and rings of a fresh cut jalepeno – totally gross rip off for .30 cents worth of food cost (maybe add a description if it’s not gonna be a normal order of nachos?)
My son’s “coke” tastes weirdly like Bleach- maybe replace the filters on the soda machine?
When the server asked “how is it?” and I replied “not good” and told her the honest truth (See above) she just stood there looking dumbfounded.
Now, I’ve been a server for 25 years and that’s NOT the appropriate response. There was no offer to remove the offending items and so I said just to bring the check, which she pulled out a machine and hovered over me expecting a gratuity for totally inept manners regarding customer service.
Will not return. Save your money and go a few blocks down to a place with decent food.
EDIT #1- my middle school aged son encouraged me repeatedly “be cool’ but we saw retail gangso operating out of these spaces on east colfax. We witnessed what I believe to be retailtheftas these guys put thier trash o. The sllsyy

I go to La cueva every chance I get. They’re like family there. The food is amazing. The hospitality is unreal. It’s seriously like my aunt or my uncle’s house that will cater to every need. Horchata is the best thing to have with a spicy meal. They have the spicy and they have the sweet. And I always get a to-go order as well not knowing when I’ll be back I always take some home with chips and salsa. ” I LOVE La Cueva”
