So glad I found this Mexican restaurant in Aurora! Before I ate here, I had yet to have found good Mexican food in CO. Flavor is on tact. Service is great. Will be coming here whenever I have cravings for chicken enchiladas. Plus they had live entertainment when I went (Friday night).
Review Source:Las Hadas is located in an old little strip mall, which is becoming quite the happening place thanks to Dry Dock. Â Pro tip: Â the sweetness of the apricot blonde cuts the spice of any burrito. Â
The servers are awesome. Â I went here last year and came back the other day, and the server remembered my brother & I.
And you can't beat the $1.50 breakfast burrito.
I go here at least once a week. I have tied many different items on their menu and they have always prepared a good meal for my family and I. Try branching out away from the " American Mexican " dishes like enchiladas, tacos, burritos. Try the Diabla shrimp, order of chicharones and a beer. If they say it is a specialty item on the menu I recommend trying some of them,they have been delicious. The wait staff is always prompt and polite. For a local Mexican restaurant they are doing it right.. Keep up the great work !!
Review Source:I thought it was OK, but nothing really blew me away as being amazing. My wife and I are always on the lookout for good Green Chili, so we tried their smothered burritos. Again, they were not bad, but not awesome. Their house margarita appeared to be just mix from the grocery store and a shot of tiquela. Seating arrangements were a bit tight, and they ran out of high chairs, so my wife and I had to eat in shifts while the other kept our kiddo entertained.
We'll likely go back since it's so close to home, but we'll only be ordering food to-go and eating it at the house.
Have been dining here since I lived in Aurora when I first moved to Denver over 10 years ago and since we live close again, it's a regular spot once again. The staff has always been very friendly and efficient, always greeting us with a smile every time.
Chips and salsa are better than some and we usually get a bowl of chile con queso which is delicious with the warm tortillas to dip into it. The bowl is huge and I always get to take the remainder home to pour over hash browns or whatever!
We usually order the same things respectively and we both enjoy our meals. I have been there during weekday lunch when they have their buffet and the choices are very tasty as well as it being very reasonably priced. Chiles have decent flavor and the rellenos are cooked just right. Have tasted the chicken for the fajitas and it also has good flavor and spicing.
Can be loud on Friday nights when the Mariachis are playing but not for too long as they tend to stay in the front of the restaurant unless requested to a table.
To be clear - this is not a four star restaurant as far as food quality and fine dining, but for a family, neighborhood restaurant. Â
The food was decent and didn't take too long after ordering to arrive. Â I don't like lard in my beans and this place does not have lard free refried beans. Â They did, however, offer me cooked, whole plnto beans instead. Â I appreciated the accommodation. Â They prices cannot be beat. Â They have a huge selection on the kids menu as well and my child enjoyed her bean burrito (it didn't come with cheese - had to ask for it).
The service was great. Â Friendly and attentive and prompt. Â If you're looking for a very reasonably priced, low key place for lunch with the family this a great spot.
Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner - what more can you say???? Â
If you are in a hurry the burrito's rock and there are so many different items you can have put in them. Â The price is right, and they are not cheap on the portions. Â Â If you prefer to sit down, you can have everything from pancakes to Steak and eggs. Â Again it is priced right and good portion size.
I have had so many things on their menu and I am never dissapointed. Â The chile rellenos, Carnitas, enchilidas, tacos. lunch buffet, etc... Are all good. Â
More people should give this a try
The food is good, and the service is prompt and attentive. I have ordered both from the menu, and had their buffet. The only thing that detracts from another star is that it is too dark inside. Mexican food is flavorful, and festive, and the ambiance of the place says we might taste good, but we don't want you to see what we're serving you.
Still, I have been eating there for ten years, and will continue to do so.
I went to Las Hadas and my food was ok, nothing to get excited about; kind of bland and was served luke warm. Â I couldn't identify the meat which was suppose to be ground beef in my Enchiladas. The salsa had a good flavor, but was on the watery side. The server was unbelieveable, he reached over me so many times [without an excuse me] to serve the person beside me that I lost count. My Margarita was weak and watery [probably because I had asked to have it when my food was served] so the server removed it and bought it back. Â I reviewed this place before I went and didn't mind driving a little distance from my home. I'm totally disappointed and will NOT be returning.
*** Today is 06/17/12 and I still have NOT returned to this place, NO REGRETS !!!
I actually went in for Dinner one night and can honestly say that I won't be back. The food was just OK and the band was so loud I could't even think let alone have a conversation. I am still a fan of the breakfast burritos which is why they get the 3rd star but I just don't think dinner is worth it.
Review Source:Don't let the strip mall location deter you! Â In town on business and decided to give it a try based on the decent reviews. Â The staff was very friendly and attentive. Â Had the enchilada, burrito, crispy rellano combo. Â The enchilada was ok, the chicken burrito was good, but the rellano was super yummy! Â Only tried rellanos a couple of times before elsewhere and always wanted more crunch to them. Â This one had it. Â Almost like it was wrapped in an egg roll wrapper. But it was the brown jalepeno sauce that made the dish...
Review Source:It was OK. Â The chili relleno was actually quite good, but the enchiladas were bland, and contained only cheese (no meat). Â Also, after the waitress dropped off the food, we looked down there was no rice OR beans on our plates! Â So we had to order them separately and they came on a large dinner plate. Â With just average food, and a confusing ordering system, I won't be going back.
Review Source:I have been going to Las Hadas near my house almost since it opened, and let me tell you, it is just as good as ever.
The restaurant is charmingly decorated, with bright colors and a variety of Mexican-themed adornments on the walls. Shortly after you sit down, a basket of fresh-fried, piping-hot chips and rich tomatoey salsa in a little molcajete will be brought to you. As good as this first nibble is, don't get too carried away, because you still have to order from the large menu!
Las Hadas was one of the first places I ever remember trying Chicken Mole. Although the state of Puebla boasts no less than *seven* (count 'em!) types of Mole, the one usually seen in the U.S. is the blend of nuts, spices and just a little dark chocolate ground together and simmered for ages until all the components coalesce. The version served here is exemplary, helped in no small part by moist chicken.
But if that just isn't ringing your chimes, never fear. You have plenty of other options. Chiles Rellenos are here - soft or crispy! And both are great. Their Chimichanga (served with your choice of chicken or beef) is substantial and satiating. And if you go on Friday, Saturday or Sunday, you'll be able to sample their Carnitas, made with delectable marinated pork (and swing and sway to the mariachi band that tends to frequent the place at these times).
After all that food, you'll wonder how you could ever fit in a Sopaipilla or even an order of Flan. But try, won't you? Really, you don't know what you're missing.
But now that I think about it, that last line pertains to the whole restaurant!
I tried this place thanks to Yelp. Â Â I had the Shrimp soup. Â
When I first got there I was with my date... my 6 month old baby. Â SO they overlooked us and wanted to seat the people behind us first. Â He's a heavy kid so I had to speak up and tell them we were there first :-/
That made me a little upset but they quickly sat us and apologized... after that the service was ok. Â I noticed the other waitress, however, was quick and friendly and VERY attentive to her tables. Â
I tried the Shrimp soup... S P I C E Y!!! I can handle spicy but let me tell you... that soup will make you, "jump up and slap your pappy!" as one of my friends says! whew wee! Â Still yummy! I'd go back and have it again. Â I want to go back and try more. Â
I notice there were a lot of regulars there too... they must keep coming back for some good reason!!!
Good stuff!
$1.99 dollar pancakes.... no way!! Â (see picture for punchline..)
Yelp has done another good deed promoting this place. Â We went to visit our Grandma and all had a craving for some Mexican food. Â I opened up Yelp and began the search.... Las Hadas is what we found. Â The best reviewed and closet to our location. Â
We went on a Saturday night. Â The place was fairly busy and the staff was inviting and courteous. Â
Everything on the menu looked authentic. Â There was a good mix of 'classic-authentic' Mexican and yet still had the traditional 'safe' Mexican food. Â
I wanted to a try a little bit of everything, so I got the Las Hadas Special. Â A cheese enchilada, tostada, beef taco, tamale, beans, rice, green chilie and a tortilla. Â The enchilada sauce was great, the rice was home-made and the portion size was muy grande!! Â Overall as a group we all left stuffed and utterly satisfied! Â
For dessert we tried the xango and the fried ice cream. Â The ice cream had the perfect texture and enough whipped cream on it to kill a horse.... the xango was interesting, hint of bananas and cinnamon, deep fried. Â
If you're in the area this place is definitely worth checking out! Â I will add it my 'Mexican places to visit list'. Â And next time we go over the river and through the woods to see Grandma, I hoping we're all going to be craving Mexican food again!
I wouldn't have known about this place if a friend hadn't pointed it out. Â Buried in the shopping area on the southwest corner of Hampden & Chambers, I may have never stumbled across it on my own.
Last night, a few friends and I stopped in for dinner. Â The restaurant is larger than some of the other places I've seen in the area. Â Plenty of seating for a large crowd. Â We were seated immediately and as per usual with most Mexican restaurants, chips and salsa were brought out quickly. Â One of my friends ordered a beer. Â It came with a frozen, frosty mug that had salt on the rim. Â That mug looked so frosty it made me want a beer! Â My one pre-dinner complaint is that they charge extra if you want more chips & salsa! Â LAME!
The menu is HUGE! Â Big selection! Â I got a combo that included a chicken burrito, a relleno and a chicken flauta. Â The chicken was moist and well seasoned and the flavors of the dish were well blended. Â The relleno was also nice & crispy... so delicious! Â My only complaint is that I ordered it spicy, and it was not spicy. Â Regardless, it was really tasty and well constructed!
It seemed like an eternity before we finally got our check. Â For the most part, our service was good but this was getting a little ridiculous. Â Finally, the check came. Â If my friend wouldn't have told me, I wouldn't have known this is the type of place you take your check up to the counter and pay.
I asked the hostess as she was running my debit card if they can make spicy food, and I mean truly spicy, not wussy normal person spicy but SPICY and she said no. Â She actually laughed with me as she told me how they get complaints that the food is too spicy as it is. Â I swear, the normal restaurant patron is a freakin' wuss... GROW A PAIR ALREADY!
Anyway, this was a great dining experience and a gem hidden within a sea of Mexican mediocrity in Aurora. Â I am sure I will come back for some repeat visits... even if I have to sneak in spicy green chili to put on my food.
My family is from New Mexico . . . home of the best Mexican food in the US. . . . . so I am always just a tad skeptical when someone says let's go out for Mexican food in Iowa, Little Rock, NYC, Atlanta or Denver.
But, I was pleasantly surprised at Las Hadas. Mind you, it is not "Tomasitas" or even "Daves not Here" in Santa Fe, but the food was good and the service was excellent!
Our server, Eva Adriana Navarro Torres, was friendly, smiling and made us feel like we were the most important table she was serving. Eva is one of those spots of light that make small strip mall restaurants shine. Food was good and we shall return; but most importantly we will be sure to ask to be seated at one of Eva's tables!
