Mexican Restaurants in Denver

When Guy Fieri rolled into Denver, Colorado, he discovered a Mexican food scene that’s as bold and flavorful as the Mile High City itself. Across four featured restaurants, these spots have earned an impressive average rating of 4.6 stars from devoted locals and visitors alike.

Leading the pack are Maria Empanada and Cafe Brazil, both commanding 4.7-star ratings that speak to their exceptional quality. Highland Tavern rounds out the top performers with a solid 4.6 stars. While half of these original DDD destinations have since closed their doors, the surviving two continue serving up the authentic flavors that caught Guy’s attention in the first place.

From handcrafted empanadas to creative Latin-inspired dishes, Denver’s Mexican food scene proves that this Rocky Mountain city knows how to bring the heat.
