Born into a family with 15 children, Jose Ramirez was lucky number 7. He started his pursuit of this dream as a 13-year-old bagboy at a grocery store in what is known as The Highlands area of Denver. He later worked as a server at Las Palmas, working 60-70 hours per week, eventually becoming the server manager. He would work so much that he would oftentimes sleep in his car while providing for his wife, Martha, and his two sons, Luis and Daniel.Jose saved up enough money to open up the first Los Dos Potrillos location in Centennial in 2002. Jose opened this first location of Los Dos with just $5.18 left in his bank account.

Good spot for food. The Barbacoa tacos are worth trying. Had a guava margarita but we’re too early for the happy hour. Staff was so friendly.

I ordered the shrimp tacos and a margarita. The chips/salsa were good, margarita was tasty, they even made too much and gave us the remainder in a small cup. My fish tacos tasted good as well. They were very busy when we got there but had bar seating, which helped because I was hungry! Nice little place close to home.

Great happy hour margarita prices! I’m new to Littleton and was recommended Los Dos Portillos as the best Mexican food in the area while waiting phõ at another restaurant. I always judge a Mexican restaurant by its salsa before the food even arrives, and I was quite happy with their salsa! I ordered the chile relleno plate and got one crispy and one soft and thoroughly enjoyed both. I will definitely be back!

The restaurant was busy when we arrived for dinner, but we were quickly seated. We ordered the carne asada fries and it was so good. Our main course was pretty good. Our server/helpers were attentive.
