" I had heard so many good things about El Tejado and finally decided to give it a go. While I appreciated the prompt service, the food left something to be desired. I ordered the chicken mole, which lacked depth and complexity in flavor. It felt a bit generic compared to what I was hoping it would taste like. However, the ambiance was nice and bustling, which I enjoyed. Overall, it was a decent experience but I may skip it next time out. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're craving authentic Mexican food, El Tejado is a must-visit. I found their enchiladas perfectly spiced and generously portioned. The atmosphere is very welcoming, ideal for families. I was pleasantly surprised by how attentive the service staff was, making sure we had everything we needed without being intrusive. The only fault was the wait time; it was slightly longer than I expected, but the food made it worth the wait. I'm definitely returning soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I visit El Tejado, I have a wonderful experience! Just last week, I had their green chili and it was something out of a dream! My spouse had the carne asada and it was tender and flavorful. The amount of food you get for the price is just spectacular. The waitstaff was phenomenal, very friendly and accommodating. I can't recommend this place enough! If you want authentic flavors, this is the place to be. " (*Curated Review*)

" Hands down, the best Mexican food I've had in Denver! Everything I ordered was bursting with flavor, especially the homemade tortillas. The margaritas were top notch too! The server was friendly and prompt with our service, allowing us to have a relaxed dinner. The only downside was the parking situation, as it can be tricky during peak hours. However, that's a small price to pay for the amazing food and atmosphere! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was not impressed with my last visit to El Tejado. The food was subpar, and the server seemed overwhelmed. It took quite a while to get our drinks, and when the food came, my order was wrong. I was so disappointed as I was looking forward to trying their famous fajitas. The atmosphere was nice, but it couldn’t save the experience. Maybe I will give them another chance, but it won’t be soon enough. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing so much about El Tejado, I finally went to try it. I ordered the carne asada, which was recommended by a friend. Sadly, it did not live up to the hype. The steak was tough and lacked seasoning. On a positive note, the service was attentive and polite, but overall, it didn’t change my experience. I may give it another chance down the line, but I won’t rush back. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Tejado Denver, you have my heart! The tamales were perfectly fluffy, just like they should be. The salsa is packed with flavor and a little heat, and my server was attentive. Added bonus: the restaurant is remarkably clean, which is a major plus for me. If you’re in the area and craving Mexican food, be sure to stop in here; you won’t regret it. " (*Curated Review*)
