Mexican Restaurants in Denver, Colorado – Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives

Mexican Restaurants in Denver

When Guy Fieri rolled into Denver, Colorado, he discovered a vibrant Mexican food scene that delivers bold flavors and authentic recipes. The Mile High City has become a destination for south-of-the-border cuisine, with four restaurants earning a spot on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.

Among the standouts, Maria Empanada tops the charts with a stellar 4.7-star rating, showcasing handcrafted empanadas that had Guy reaching for seconds. Cafe Brazil matches that rating, bringing Latin-inspired dishes to Denver’s food lovers. Highland Tavern rounds out the top performers at 4.6 stars. With an impressive average rating of 4.6 across all featured spots, Denver’s DDD Mexican restaurants prove the city knows how to bring the heat. While two of these gems remain open for business, two have unfortunately closed their doors—making the surviving spots even more essential for any Flavortown pilgrimage.
