This was actually such a great find! We were looking for a place to do bottomless brunch, but we were running late, so we ended up coming after brunch. It was worth it! Our server was kind and didn't take too long getting our orders in. The place was bright and inviting. They also have a combi inside, which I think you can get drinks from on the other side, but not sure. The food was great! The birria plate was probably the stand out. It was so much food, but it was amazing since we could not stop eating! The pozole that's on the happy hour menu was tasty and it was a great portion! We did need to add a little salt, but we're just salty! The margarita flights were the amazing as well. They were pretty strong! We did not need any additional drinks after those. Great find and definitely plan to come back! :)

The tacos on fry bread are to die for! Even my very picky 14 year old loves them. The margaritas are some of the best I've had. Very very smooth! I always get tacos to go when I'm in the area.

This was hands down the best place we dined in Denver. First off the location is very convenient if you're staying close by. We had a reservation for 6pm on a Sunday but it wasn't too crowded. The ambiance is great, they were playing some killer 80's music. They sat us at an awesome table right by the window. Then our server Luis was just the best. So sweet and very attentive. We started with a passion fruit margarita and passion fruit agua de Fresca. I have a passionfruit vine in my backyard and the aqua Fresca tasted like I just cut open a fresh passionfruit it was amazing. For dinner we had the breezed short rib and a Carne Asada taco and a brisket taco both on for a bread. Let me just start with the short rib. This is the most delicious thing that I've eaten. I love a bit short rib, the spices on this were so pleasant and warming. It was unlike any short rib I've ever tasted, and it paired perfectly with the polenta and the pickled onions that they had on top. Then the tacos the meat is excellent, but the substitution of fry bread brings it up to the next notch and I'm picky about tacos so for me to say that these tacos were excellent means a lot. Finally, we finished off with the stuff sopapillas. This was such an incredibly unique dessert, and even if you've had sopapillas, these aren't the sopapillas like you make it home. What I appreciated about this dessert is it wasn't overly sweet, it had a perfect balance of sweetness.

We stopped by to sample the Wagyu Beef Tacos and enjoy a Margarita. While the tacos were flavorful, their small size requires ordering multiple servings for a satisfying meal. Unfortunately, the margarita was underwhelming, possibly due to the liquor used; reconsidering their brand selection may improve the drink. As part of the Maven Hotel at Dairy Block, the establishment benefits from the hotel's open-air layout and lively decor. Highlighted promotions include Margarita Mondays and 'Bottomless Brunch' on Fridays through Sundays, which necessitate reservations. The restaurant also offers weekday lunch specials and Taco Tuesday. Proximity to the ballpark makes parking challenging; alternative transportation or an overnight stay is advisable.

Food: we were super impressed with the food here! (1) Grilled skirt steak: so delicious! It has a spicy chocolate mole sauce, rice, beans, and fresh avocado. The steak was charred but still pink (which I like) and seasoned well. They gave you fresh tortillas on the side to make your own tacos and it was soo good! (2) Tacos: 1 carnita, 1 al pastor, and 1 fish. My partner said all three were fantastic. He said the fish was his favorite. (3) Queso Fundido: it was my least favorite thing. It was a little light on flavor. (4) Frozen margs: these barely tasted like they had alcohol in them. Recommend getting an extra shot to add in You do not get chips/salsa for free but it's very cheap on happy hour. Service: they were pretty packed in there but service was still great. Nothing to complain about. Ambience: they have a huge bar for potential walk-ins and big patio. It's a fairly large place so in theory walk-ins could happen but we had a reservation and had to wait 10 minutes for a table. Overall the food was above our expectations which is why I'm rating so high. Would go back

This was the last place we stopped at...we walked all over by union station and near our hotel but finally decided on this spot. The decor was so my style and the pride flag in the entry was a nice touch too! ‍ We started with the Double Dip (Queso + pico de gallo, charro beans + cojita) YUM!!! Next we had a Chicken Tinga Taco also delish! Both of those items were on the happy hour! Daily from 3 to 6 pm! Definitely worth checking out. Lastly we split the open faced quesadilla with grilled chicken. It was so so good! Mindy was so nice, and helped us lock down some cool places to check out while in town! I'll definitely be back!

Came for the bottomless mimosas and chicken enchiladas for brunch! We had a blast, and our service was really well done for having a table of 11. Great for large groups. The 2 hour duration for bottomless mimosas was plenty of time!
