La Cueva

Excellent green chile salsa. Spicier than most, but for me it was the perfect amount of heat.  I had the three combo burritos with the green chile salsa and cleaned the plate. They were very tasty. Margaritas were pretty good (we all had the house Margie's for $6), but a $10 Cadillac margarita was a bit ridiculous given the rest of the menu's pricing and sketchy neighborhood La Cueva is in.

I will go back the next time im in Denver.

great family owned and operated Mexican restaurant. this is my go to place. it's not the absolute best Mexican restaurant in town but it's consistently good. DO NOT LEAVE WITHOUT GETTING THE FRIED ICE CREAM

I think this should be a 2.5 rating.  I decided to give it a 2 instead of a 3 because is was not reall A-OK and it was more "Meh. I've experienced better".

I got a quesadilla and asked for beef.  It came out and was the barbacoa (beef so I think it technically has a different name as I think barbacoa is pork).  Anyway, it was the shredded beef that was in a broth, so it make the quesadilla really soggy.  I really should have been carne asada or fajita meet that was grilled.

The chips and salsa were ok, but nothing to write home about.  They apparently charge for extra chips/salsa after the first complimentary round.  I hesitated to ask for more salsa as I did not want to be charged, but I went ahead and did so.  Fortunately they did not charge me for the seconds on the salsa.

They are ok friendly here......pleasant but it is more of just going through the motions and not really being sincere about it.

Probably won't come back.
