We really enjoyed our lunch here. Excellent food and nice atmosphere. We had the mole enchiladas and three soft tacos. Fresh, flavorful, and really satisfying. A notch above most Denver area Mexican restaurants in taste and presentation. Definitely on our list for future visits. The only downside is a super small difficult to maneuver parking lot in back. Next time we'll park on the street.

Googling where to eat before leaving to Greece, why not Mexican! Chile en Nogada caught my eyes and stomach, so we came here and it was close to home. Street parking only, but if there are none you can go park in the residential area. We were the only ones there, but a few more came as we ate. The interior and ambiance was nice and it seems as if they have dancing/salsa nights. The bar took up one side of the restaurant, but it was a bit early for drinks....well for the other table. It was 11am, but I guess it's HH somewhere around the world. They served us chips and salsa, beans, and this hot chili. I read about the chili and oh man, it was eye-watering-nose-dripping delicious lol. *note that chips and salsa is not complimentary. We wanted more chips and that was additional $$. Just FYI. My boyfriend ordered 3 soft tacos and he enjoyed the steak the most, then pork, and chicken. He could've done without chicken and ordered another steak. Obviously I ordered the Chile en Nogada and it lived up to it's hype. It was a tad bit too much for me and my boyfriend was happy with his simple tacos. Will come back again when we crave Mexican. Just glad it's close to home.

The best Mexican restaurant I have visited in Denver, Chili Verde, combines atmosphere with exceptional, genuine food with a Puebla origin. It is genuine and so darn good. Located in Federal Heights near a busy intersection, Chili Verde was an exceptional stop on a Saturday night. The weather was spotty, so we elected to sit inside instead of enjoying their inviting outdoor patio. Greta, our server, was friendly, informative, and kind. She never rushed our foursome and made it a terrific experience. The interior was warm, making the entire visit even better and a very cool mural as a centerpiece. I loved the homemade chips (more, please) accompanied by multiple salsas, one red-hot, and I enjoyed it immensely. But the highlight was my dinner choice, Mole Verde, which was presented extraordinarily well and tasted even better. It was an incredible dish and such a unique meal option. My friends enjoyed their respective meals: crepas poblanos and mole poblano, but I wasn't jealous because my choice was phenomenal. Met the owner (Eder) after this amazing meal, and now I see why the place is so darn good. He is from Puebla, Mexico, and embraces his homeland. The whole staff is kind and professional, reflecting his personality. Without a doubt, coming back. It is too good an experience not to visit more frequently.
