I had heard mixed reviews about the Denver location and was curious to see how the new store in Littleton fared. I have been in three times so far; once at lunch and twice at dinner. The first night I came in I was promptly seated by a waiter. He introduced himself as Jimmy and asked if we had been here before. He gave us a quick tour (very beautiful decor) and then seated us in the dining room. He told us about the specials and his favorites and assured us that we were in for a great experience. We started with two of the house margaritas and they were very good. Jimmy reccomended the Aguacate which was very simple but full of flavor. For our entrees my husband had the Carne Asada and I had the Chile rellenos. We also substituted the pinto beans for calaba...something..sorry forgot what they were called but it was basically roasted squash, corn, and chiles in a sauce that was incredible. When we were done Jimmy reccomended the Soapapilla and let us know that they put a spin on the classic and that he would buy it for us if we didn't love it....he was right...It was by far the best dessert I have ever had at a Mexican restaurant. I have to say that this was probably the best "first impression" we have every had at any restaurant. My husband and I have dined all over the world and have spent a few years in New Mexico. I can honestly say that this is a jewel of a restaurant and the staff actually cares and is attentive. The service was better than that of any 5 star establishment that we have visited without the stuffiness. The room was gorgeous and the food was very decent. The other two times we ate there we had similar experiences and we will be back often!!
Pros: The good food and GREAT SERVICE...Jimmy was a delight!
Cons: I wish they were open for lunch on the weekends!
