Moved from Denver to CO Spgs this year .... and still haven't found really good mexican food. And we have tried at least half a dozen or more...
Western Omelette Restaurant taunted for best green chile .... was awful.
LaCasita .... just OK.
3 Margaritas .... not so good.
Sausa Brava ... yuppy mexican food ... OK but not real.


Help!!! Please ....
Looking for the small mom & pop ... hole in the wall .... just good food, good price, & good green chile. Am I asking too much.

Best places in Denver ... my opinion is at 44th and Tennyson ... LaCasita ... famous for their tamales ... but also the best green chile ever.
And just a few blocks away at 29th and Yates (just east of Sheridan)....LaCocina.
Those are our favorites and we have to go back for a fix every time we go to Denver.

We'll go out today and try Pueblo Viejo on Academy which was listed above... to continue our quest for good mex food in CO Spgs. We'll let you know.
But need some more suggestions, PLS.

I've suggested it before.....the Mission Inn on North Academy makes a great green chile and a terrific margarita. Family-owned, it's been around for 30 years now. Try the Mission Burrito Grande, smothered in green chile. You won't leave the table hungry.

I'm so surprised that no one has mentioned Jose Muldoon's on Tejon st. downtown. Yummy yummy food and good margaritas. I am also from SoCal and this definitely satisfies the mexican craving. And the prices are good; we fed our family of 6 including drinks for $65.00.

Smitty2,

Let me know what you thought od Pueblo Viejo as I really didn't enjoy the place.

If you want a palace with great Mex and great green chile go here. We went a few weeks ago and it was great, my wife and I plan on returning next time down in Pueblo. It's not much on the inside but the place had many patrons the day we were there. Note: They are closed on Sunday.

Romeros has always been a favorite of mine for lunch. The food and staff are great! Not expensive, and the service always has been fast and efficient. Never had a bad meal... definately reccomend this place.

Pros: Inexpensive, Staff, Food

Cons: Location

The City-Data police deleted my post even though the reporters name and the name of the paper was clearly visible. I guess this is the way you are supposed to show people good articles.

We found a new spot for us (although I think its been there forever)
El Taco Rey ... 330 East Colorado Avenue
So far best mexican food in Colorado Springs for us.
We got Pueblo Viejo, Mission Inn (and Romero when we visit Peublo)
Keep the suggestions coming.
Thanks, Smitty

Oh, we did try Pueblo Viejo ..... ... just not our style I guess ....
We shared a burrito with burrito sauce (what!! what's burrito sauce) very strange tasting .... sorry didn't care for the one item we tried.
We've gone back to El Taco Rey for the second time ... very good food. Tiny (like 6 tables) and cute place. But good food is the point, and it's here.

Oh My Gosh! That's it! That's it! I swear that if you do a search on 44th and Tennyson and tamales and green and Indian Taco, you'll find at least two of my posts and this one!

I used to go there and there was this guy in this little place. He sold his tamales for 50 cents apiece; red or green chile inside the tamale, and I'd buy a quart of his green chile. To be honest, it was a bit runny and on the hot side. That was ok! It worked just fine for me.

You see, for my family- we use the Green as medicine. That and a hot toddy would cure ANY ailment. Drink this, eat that, and cover up! Keep that blanket on you! Your pores are open now!

I hope it's the same place. I hope that guy's still kickin. I bet he'd still remember me. I bet those tamales have doubled in price.

Used to be a place by Applejack's Liquor that had good green and food too. I'm almost sure it's gone. They had a malt shoppe too.

I'm getting hungry.

Amadas Fonda on the West side is probably the best mexican food in Colorado Springs! No lie! Carne Asada is to die for!
