" I stopped by El Tejado on a friend's recommendation and was excited to try their famous margaritas. They did not disappoint! I had the mango margarita, which was delicious and not too sweet. Unfortunately, the nachos I ordered were a bit soggy and bland. The service was a bit slow, despite not being very busy. I might come back for the drinks, but I’m hesitant about the food. Overall, it was okay, but not great. " (*Curated Review*)

" We've been loyal patrons of El Tejado for years, and it never disappoints! The chicken mole is out of this world, bursting with flavors that transport you straight to Mexico. What's more, the portions are generous—enough to take home leftovers for lunch the next day! The vibrant decor and friendly vibe of the restaurant create the perfect backdrop for an enjoyable evening. The margaritas are also a must-try; they hit the spot after a long day. Truly one of the best Mexican restaurants around! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Tejado Denver has claimed its spot in my heart and stomach! I recently tried the beef tamales, and they were divine. The masa was soft and moist, and the beef filling was flavorful. What truly made the experience even better was their staff; everyone was so welcoming and cheerful! The only downside is the parking can be tricky, but it's absolutely worth it. I will keep coming back for that warm, delicious tamale! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely love this place! Stopped by for dinner and I ordered the chicken enchiladas. They were delicious and beautifully plated. The portion was huge; I took half home! The salsa is fresh, and the chips are crunchy. Our server was friendly and fast, and overall, the experience was just wonderful! If you're in the area, don’t miss out on a chance to eat here. I’ll certainly be back again! " (*Curated Review*)

" I thought I'd give El Tejado another shot, given the mixed reviews I heard. Unfortunately, my experience didn’t line up with the positives. The service was slow and disorganized, and my order arrived incomplete. The tacos that I did receive were good, but not enough to save the overall experience. Maybe I'll visit again, but I can't say I'm eager to return soon. " (*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*)
