Best Contemporary Mexican Restaurants in Littleton

Amazing, creative, and authentic food. My wife and I sat at the bar / chef's counter which was great because we got to chat with our chef the whole time and get cool insight into all the dishes and watch them make everything. We tried the Barriga De Cerdo, Pescadilla De Marlin, and taco de cola de res, which were all delicious and would get again but our favorite dish was the Tostada de toro, it was so good we got another order instead of desert. You have to try at least a 1oz pour of mezcal too even if you're not a big mezcal fan. I forgot the name of the exact mezcal we had but they have an expert on staff that will recommend something for you, for us it was a "good beginners" mezcal. The mezcal was really good but the best part of it was what they serve the mezcal with.... I won't ruin the surprise on what it is but definitely worth trying for the experience and we found it to be surprising delicious.

We sat at the counter and really enjoyed chatting with the chef throughout our meal. It felt like we were hanging out at his house, eating at the kitchen island while he cooked. The chef recommended the camote asado, callo de hacha al horno, enmoladas de pollo, and the taco de suadero. Our favorite bites were the enmoladas de pollo and the taco de suadero. The tortillas and sauces are so good! We also had the birria de borrego which was really good but not quite worth the price compared to the other dishes we enjoyed.

The staff went out of their way to make us feel extremely welcome and invited us back to their reopening after remodel. If you have a chance to grab their brunch before they close for remodel, do so! Manny was a tremendous server. Seek him out if you can.

The food was amazing and Claire was great with her recommendations. We had lunch and the portion was spot on. Highly recommended!!

Great service and we had a quiet roomy booth. Margaritas were strong, but made with a mix and/or orange liqueur that we did not care for. Food was an odd mix of so- so and good. The carnitas are awesome. Flavorful and tender pork. Tacos were generously filled, almost too much to handle. Three dip appetizer was disappointing. We didn’t care for queso or bean dip. Salsa was mediocre. We probably won’t be back, as there are so many other restaurants to enjoy in our part of Littleton.
