Great local, family owned Mexican restaurant on Colfax. They've got quite a bit of seating, and a full bar with a HUGE selection of Tequilas, as well as draft beers, and many margaritas!
Their food is reasonably priced, about as much as a combo at a fast-food place nowadays, but for healthy, wholesome, delicious, and heartily-portioned food!
I particularly enjoyed the smothered chicken burritos, mmm.
It's also got a very warm, cozy atmosphere, with low, sultry lighting. Great vibe and atmosphere.
The owners and staff are incredible and very friendly! I felt right at home. I'll be back again soon; thanks! =D
Good meal. Always looking for good Mexican food that rivals what I'm used to from Texas. My late lunchtime to go order was the Short Ribs & Chili Rejenos. Both very flavorful. The neighborhood was questionable on Colfax such that I'm not sure I'd feel safe going to dinner at night. Parking was very limited with only the street parking on Colfax.
Really enjoyed our meal here. We both had a combo plate with cheese and onion enchilada, beef taco and tostada. Enjoyed a raspberry beer and house margarita as well. Great service.
La Cueva is a Good hole in the Wall it's grown prettier throughput the Year's.
The only thing that's different in the service no more chips and salsa at the table... There salsa was fantastic too!
I've been eating here for 30 years.
Best Mexican food you'll ever eat!!!!
Nice place and has been around for ages. Good food. The decor and setup is nice too. We also just had to have food to go for later because it was so good. We had Nachos as the appetizer and man are they good. I actually like that all the sour cream and extras aren't on it I'm sure you can add it but I think the way they are already great! My daughter loves them too because she doesn't like meat and all the extras. Got a Mexican Hamburger smothered and a beef burrito smothered for at home. All delicious and can't forget the house margarita!
They have the best green chili in town. I have been going here for 30 years.
Great vintage restaurant. Excellent authentic food.
Went for dinner and everything was great. Food was delicious. Highly recommend the chili rellenos, burritos and enchiladas. Margaritas are also soo good! Chips and salsa is delicious. Great environment, fun spot to dine in for dinner and great Mexican food.
Been coming here since 1980.The best refrito enchiladas and the tamales and both chili's are awesome!
