Good serving size chimi.decent green chile.dining room clean and inviting.
This place is the best ever. Always has been, always will. Most courteous staff and great portions. Thank you much!
MoreGreat service, great food. Thanks!
I have been coming here since I was a teenager which has been about 12 years now. The food is EXCELLENT and the chips and salsa are beyond delicious. Fast and friendly service too!
MoreWe used to get amazing food and service here. We come a lot and when t older men are around its been the most perfect experience. Last night was a big exception. Poor service, poor quality food, charging almost $2 for an extra tortilla? Partial orders and no flavor. I hope it was an off night or it’s time to find a new favorite spot. When we spoke with the son that was a managing about the issues he just said “I know.†Well then fixit?
MoreFood was delicious service was fantastic. Food came out quickly and hot. Definitely will be back many times
MoreBeen coming here since I was a kid. A Golden classic! They always treat me right and food is decent.
MorePretty awful service and food last night. Hope it was a fluke, but pretty disappointed. Manager acted like O well.
MoreOur favorite resturant for the past 20 years. Great service, mild to really spicy green chili, great crispy chili relleno, tamales, and shredded beef enchiladas (always smoother in green chili). Very reasonable prices. Family business in Golden for over 25 years.
MoreVery good authentic food. Good prices, nice staff.
Great price, friendly staff - my new go to place for a quick meal.
Good food, generous portions, and a friendly staff.
Amazing food and friendly service every time! Highly recommend eating here when in Golden
MoreBeen going for 20 plus years always a good quality meal and the margaritas are the best !
MoreFood was excellent and the service was fast, courteous and friendly. The positions were generous and the prices low. I highly recommend it!
MoreHad a great experience. Food was really excellent along with the cocktail.
1st time was great 2nd time order the same thing and was more like a bean burrito and I didnt order a bean burrito I order a chicken fajitaburrito
MoreGreat food, Great Price, Great service. If you have any enthusiasm for a margarita, try the Presidente. Unlike anything else in Denver.
MoreThis restaurant ROCKED!!!So delicious, will definitely come back!!
This was our first time coming here and it was amazing. Very cozy and clean which is always the best. It is a family owned restaurant and the food is homestyle. It's like I'm back at my abuelitas and she's making me food. The chips and salsa is ammmaazziinnggg. & You can't go wrong with a combination, The portions are perfect, and don't get me started on the guacamole. If your looking for authentic delicious Mexican food. Please eat here!
MoreDelicious food and very friendly people!
The staff is super attentive and very friendly. The portions in my opinion are just right. The green chili does have chunks of some of the tenderest pork ever. The chili is very flavorful and not too spicy to enjoy. My tacos were crisp and the meat was very tender and the lettuce was fresh and crisp. This place is definitely a well kept secret. It wasn't very busy when we went. The food came out quickly and was piping hot. We will definitely be back.
MoreFamily friendly Great menu Ask for the Bronco
Great food. Great customer service!
Great service and food.
All the sauces are gluten free! The golden margarita is the bomb, and the staff is fantastic!
MoreWe came here once since we had a gift card. The enchiladas were good; and so was the rice. However, the beans were dry. The chips and salsa were good, but not great.
MorePerhaps the best Mexican food I have ever had
This place was a little on the run down side from the front of the building but the service and food was great. Would go again.
MoreEverything I've had there has been great, especially the Tacos Al pastor. Great staff too.
MoreThe Camerones de Mpjo de Ajo (Shrimp w/Garlic) was outstanding. Loved it!
This is a well run family establishment. They were so nice. The food was great and pricing was on point. If I was from here this would be a regular restaurant we visit. Maybe next time we come through!
MoreI was in the area and always on the lookout for great Mexican food. This place certainly hit the mark. It was Taco Tuesday and they offer $2 off any taco plate. I went with the Tacos al Pastor and it was delicious! You get 5 Street style tacos plated up on slightly grilled corn tortillas and it comes with a delicious cabbage salad with red and green sauce on the side. The price and proportions were both excellent. Chips and house made salsa were brought out right away and our server was great at keeping our drinks full. I would definitely recommend to anyone and will be returning the next time I am in the area!
MoreBeen coming here for 17 years. The best margs and green Chile
Gluten free! Gluten free! My family and I have been eating here for several years now and we happen to be very sensitive CELIACS. Can honestly state we have never been ill. Check out their menu, all sauces, beans are gluten free. We get their special on Saturday nights, fajitas for two. Two orders fills up our family of four, plus take home leftovers at times.Enjoy this locally owned restaurant here in Golden!
MoreTonight I enjoyed the Stuffed Sopapilla with Shredded Chicken and a Chili Relleno on the side. Followed up with a delicious 16oz margarita... and I even have leftovers for lunch tomorrow.
MoreGood food, great prices. Support for the local businessman
Great food and awesome experience! Low prices to!
Been going to el Amigo for over 30 years. Good people, Good food, great Margs, an inexpensive meal. What more could you want?
MoreStaff was very friendly, ordered queso for the appetizer, looked like they added water and reheated it and the chips that came with it felt like they should have sugar on them instead of salt. Ordered the surf and turf combination platter and for me flavor was just not there. Tasted bland, tried some tacos and they were good salsa needs more flavor aswell
MoreGreat steak fajitas! If you like hot, request the habanero version for your chips...won't disappoint!
MoreBottom Line: Worst Food I've Ever Paid For. I don't usually review restaurants but this is by far the worst food I have paid for in recent memory. It took a ridiculous amount of time, my tacos were burnt to a crisp with only tiny pieces of some odd pieces of burnt meat inside. Essentially I received a pile of burnt tortillas on top of random onions. Food that wasn't burnt had no flavor at all. Would absolutely never order from here again.
MoreI have been coming here for over 25 years. The recipes never change. The quality and customer service is A+. HANDS DOWN the best overall Mexican restaurant in the Denver metro area!!!
MoreThey need to better their chips were old and cold.Orchata to Sweet and didn't even tasted like Orchata...
MoreGreat Food, Friendly Staff, Awesome Atmosphere!
Been coming here since 1986..I never get tired of the food. Best Mexican restaurant in Golden!
MoreFor my wife’s birthday we decided to go here. Had a friend set up reservations party if 7. Sat and waited for 30 mins before having a server come and ask for our drinks. Drinks came but no straws. 45 mins later our food came. My friend and my order didn’t have what we ordered. He didn’t even offer to make it right. We asked for our extra tortillas he said he’s be right back. In fact he did not come back he served 6 other people including taking orders. I got fed up and asked another server. He brought them. But my food was cold. When he came to ask if things were okay he make a comment with sarcasm “ oh you got your tortillas “ and I told him yes I got sick of waiting. He didn’t care. Reservations at 6:30pm and we don’t leave until 8:48pm sad won’t go back!
MoreOmg always so very good. The fajitas are to die for, house margs reasonable and all of it is perfect!!!
MoreAlways provides fantastic service and delicious authentic food!
