Came through for Denver Restaurant Week and very glad I did. Got the pork posole which was decent. Got the barbacoa Burritos with a side of patatas bravas. And then the Tres Leches Horchata cake was phenomenalllll!

Wow, this place was better than I expected! And I love when that happens! We visited here for the first time over the weekend and came closer to when they opened. The atmosphere was very inviting, bright and I enjoyed the layout of the entire restaurant! Our server was very attentive and answered all our questions! I highly recommend the drinks! I don't normally order margaritas at restuarants because I've been disappointed with either how watered down they are or how over powering they can be. But this place makes them perfect! I ordered the Mixed Berry Margarita and it was so good, I ordered it twice! The others in our group were also very happy with their drinks! Food wise, I ordered the Street Taco Flight (on Happy Hour every day btw!) and the tacos were very good! The other people in our group ordered the Breakfast Burrito, the Enchiladas, and one got the Mesa Salad and everyone was very happy with how everything looked and tasted! Overall, I was very pleased with how everything turned out and a few others in our group were so happy they actually came back to eat a few days later! I highly recommend coming here! This place was way better than Hacienda and I will continue coming here in the future!

Mesa Latin Kitchen is spot on with flavorful food and flavorful vibes. You can taste the attention to detail and the quality of the ingredients in every bite. The staff members are super friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. It's a great place for veggie and meat lovers alike. A great spot for happy hour (11-6), live music on Thursdays, or a quiet lunch. I will be going back whenever I am in Littleton!

Came here to try restaurant week. Hostess JJ was friendly and very accommodating for my service dog. Server Benson was the perfect amount of check in. Kevin brought me the best skinny margarita. Never tried saute cactus tacos before...weird but good. Loved the mahi tacos and steak were five of five. Horchata cake put us over the edge and now we need a cot and sleeping bag. Will def be back. Outside seating looked tempting but was a little chilly out for my taste. Next time.

Stopped in for a quick lunch and it was great! Their version of a Mexican pizza was awesome! I will have to go back and start exploring the menu.

Chill vibes, great food and great service. We wanted a low key Monday night dinner and this place did not disappoint. The Birria tacos are amazing and the green pozole hit the spot. The bar has plenty of tequila options. We also ordered the Mexican hot chocolate and would def order again. We will definitely be coming back

Love the salsa flight. We really enjoy all the unique flavors here. The Serrano margaritas are amazing. This visit we had the barbacoa burrito and the chicken. I could have that chicken everyday.

Stopped in for lunch on a Tuesday. The atmosphere is beautifully decorated. The venue is very spacious . There is also a choice to eat in the regular dining area inside , near the bar , and outside . The food is very authentic. The menu has lots of choices. I made it just in time to order from the happy hour menu where the street tacos were 2 cheaper. Was also told the price is all day on Tuesdays for the tacos. There was a bunch of choices to choose from. So I ordered 3 different tacos. And they were packed with the meat I chose. They were VERY generous with the meat portions. I have to mention the barbacoa is a little more spicy than the rest that were mild. The tacos were perfect and delicious ! Whatever they serve , looks like it was served with pride. The service has always been very friendly. The bathrooms have always been clean. The restaurant is very well maintained, clean , beautiful , and there is plenty of room between tables. I recommend this restaurant with all stars.
