A traditional lunch with traditional Mexican American dishes. Enchiladas smothered in melted cheese and red sauce, a crispy chile relleno, traditional tacos in the hard shell, rice with kernels of corn and other interesting bits and pieces, thick refried beans, corn chips and red salsa. There was one item with a difference Mexican egg rolls! They were quite good, crunchy and also chewy, served with a small side of tasty green chile. I would like to go back soon just to try them again. On a Sunday afternoon, the place was moderately busy, but the two young women working the dining room were attentive and cheerful.

I got 2 bacon breakfast burritos and they were soooooo good. Is there a reason why the Washington St and sloans lake location make their burritos so differently? Sloans lake location has a TON of mushy potato, where as the one in my pic from Washington st is just right…every single time.

What a gem. This place has good food and good drinks. Environment is not what you would expect on the southern tip of Commerce City Area. Though it is Denver. Just needed a bite to eat and found this place. Great service, great food and great prices. Truly a great place to eat.
