Carlos Miguel’s Mexican Bar & Grill

Warms chips, salsa and beans were fabulous! Chile con queso was really good but not for 10.00! Everything on the menu sounded amazing, but I’m not a fan of flank steak so I chose an item that said «steak burrito»… It was inedible due to the chewiness of the meat. I love Mexican food, but I would choose somewhere else than this overpriced low quality food; on the other hand, my husband got the seafood chimichanga and loved it! Too each there own.

Great atmosphere with and awesome view of the foothills from their patio. The chips and salsa were great, fresh warm chips with bean dip and salsa. I had a vegetarian combo. Guacamole tostada and cheese enchilada served with rice and beans. Generous portion of homemade guacamole and the red sauce on enchilada was just how I like it! Awesome rice too! Great service! Looks like a good happy hour that I’ll have to catch too!

This may possibly be my new favorite Mexican restaurant! I don’t have one complaint about this place. The employees are very, very kind! The dishes are unique and bean dip comes out along with the chips and salsa. Also, I love the chile con queso! I only wish we could order a smaller, cheaper portion. Lastly, the atmosphere is clean and elegant and good for a family dinner or a nice romantic date!

This place isn’t what it once was. The meals were always freshly prepared, not just thrown together with reheated ingredients that were cooked hours or days in advance. My spouse and I ate there several nights ago, and we both sent our meals back. Mine was way too salty and the mahi-​mahi was so overcooked it was almost fossilized. My spouse’s order came with green chili that tasted strongly of vinegar. He said the redo wasn’t any better. I ordered a salad as a replacement. It was okay but by then I was no longer hungry.
Our waitress made the comment that three of the cooks had departed. Although the reason she gave us sounded bogus, this could easily explain why the quality of the food has gone down hill. We started going to this Carlos Miguel’s when nobody else was going there. Now that they’ve built up a good clientele, it appears that they’ve decided to start cutting corners, possibly by hiring cheaper, less capable kitchen help. Unfortunate and not very smart.

Great food but take-​out is almost always missing something. I’ve had the uncomfortable experience of pulling out my entire order each time to verify it is wrong. Very nice people, they just lack attention to detail.

Great food! Awesome, caring staff that remember you everytime you come in. Drinks are good, happy hour is worth a visit alone! Amazing Queso dip! I love the chicken with veggies

I never knew how to order Mexican food until I came here… The owner, Gina, gave me a great suggestion for the habanero cream chimichangas and now im hooked for life! Great staff, good management, and nice décor.

Took my wife to Carlos Miguel’s for lunch. I had an Entertainment Book coupon for a buy one, get one for 50%. We arrived and were seated immediately. We were the only people in the place. I ordered the combination with a beef taco and a chile relleno. I was disappointed that they did not have crispy relleno’s only soft ones. My wife ordered Pollo a la Crema. We both ordered Pepsi’s. Got our food in a timely manner. My wife said her food was just OK. My taco fell apart as soon as I took a bite so that I had to eat the rest with a fork. It was OK. The chile relleno was OK as well. Nothing to brag about. We got refills on our drinks as soon as we ran out. I asked for the check. The server brought the check. I handed him my credit card and the coupon. He informed me that they do not accept coupons at lunch, only for dinner when the food is more expensive. I told him that nowhere on the coupon is lunch excepted. He says, «Sorry, we don’t take it at lunch». He could have told me that before I ordered. The coupon was sitting on the end of the table during the whole meal. Won’t go back. There are better Mexican restaurants in town, that are not as expensive.

Excellent food! I had the carne asada burrito with green sauce. Excellent flavor and you get a lot of food! The chips, salsa and bean dip were also delicious.
The staff was super nice! Very clean restaurant and nice inside. It’s a step up above your typical Mexican food restaurant but still casual. I would definitely go here all the time if I lived in Colorado. Visiting for a work trip and they suggested this restaurant. Definitely was not disappointed!

Not sure where the bad reviews are coming from. Went here last night and it was fantastic. The service was great, the entrees were very flavorful and not to pricey. I had a margarita and it was fantastic too! The only thing I could complain about was the queso was not that great for $ 10 tasted like processed cheese slices melted. I have to have GF and all gluten free items are marked on the menu. Tons for me to choose from. All in all a great experience for myself and family.

My favorite Mexican restaurant in town! Everything I’ve ordered there is amazing! The margaritas are delicious, and huge! Reasonably priced, and the portions are fairly large. I always have leftovers! The Pollo Borracho is outstanding, I can’t get enough of it! The Shrimp Ceviche is also so delicious! I love this restaurant, and recommend to anyone who likes great Mexican food!

Great food! They treated me like family, and I received great food as well! Great portions and I recommend the Carne Asada. So yummy!

Went in there planning to eat my default staple of Chicken Fajitas… the waitress talked me into trying the New York Strip steak. It sat over sauteed onions and mushrooms and was smothered with a chipotle cream sauce. Wow. Absolutely delicious. It also came with roasted potatoes and red rice. I will definitely eat this again
*Their house salsa is very good as well. One of the better ones I’ve had.

My wife and I went there this past Monday (5÷18÷15) for dinner. It was a quiet Monday night with only a few of us in the restaurant. My wife had the street tacos and I had the enchiladas rancheras (I believe this is what they were called). Both dishes were wonderful. We also each had a house margarita on the rocks considering they were on special for $ 3.99 on Mondays. All the food was wonderful and for a house margarita, I don’t think you’ll find a better one around. We’ll definitely be going back. Keep in mind this is a «finer dining» Mexican restaurant. No, you don’t need suit and tie, but the food is on the upper end of Mexican. Yes, the prices reflect that but all in all, it’s worth it. You won’t be disappointed.

Excellent food, atmosphere and service. Beautiful décor, nice dinner ware. Server was slow to get to our table to start out. The complimentary salsa, bean dip and warm chips was excellent and they provided refills without request. We loved our flavorful food which included tamales, shredded beef tacos and a vegetarian chimichanga. Beans tasted homemade. I will definitely return and try more. Can see the mountains outside of the glass windows. Very nice setting. I’m a fan!

Everything on the menu sounded wonderful! I had the Pollo de la crema and it was amazing. Nice big patio area and they were super nice about us having our cat in his carrier on the patio with us as we were moving and it was too hot for him in the car. He gave the chicken 2 paws up as well and he is a very picky eater! Super nice staff and great food, will definitely stop again if in the area.

Denver has very few good Mexican restaurants… this is one of them. I was pretty impressed. The Filet mignon tacos were fantastic, and nothing was too salty (my pet peeve). The beans were perfectly cooked and the salsa was perfect… the medium was my favorite with a bit of tanginess in it. The Rice was cooked well too. The Enchiladas were very good too, and the tortillas were made of white corn. I don’t like flour tortillas much. The service was good and polite… without too much botheration as some places are apt to do.
So basically, the chef knows how to cook each item without overpowering anything with salt or too many spices. Spice usage was rally good. To be honest, I was surprised since I had had a LOT of mediocre food around here. I practically avoid eating Mexican food here, so this was a nice surprise. The food was warm and the chips seem to be homemade.
This place is about as good as it gets in Denver. I’ll definitely go back, and try a drink of two next time!

I have been here many times and keep returning for the enchiladas suiza. The tomatillo sauce is delicious! Also love the bean dip. Margaritas are yummy and they have happy hour specials.

It was damn good. We went after the lunch lull and they were slow getting out the appetizers. Creamy queso with a bite. Had bean dip and peppery salsa
Pleased, would come again.

So it’s been a year since my last review here. The only thing I can say is I’m upset we haven’t eaten here more often! We’re not super close to this place but it’s worth the drive to skip all other Mexican places in the area. The service is ALWAYS top notch! They really go out of their way to greet you, check on you while you’re seated and say thank you as you leave. We were never low on drinks and refills of that awesome bean dip with chips kept coming. The food is always fresh and delicious. Granted we’ve only ate here three times but with every trip here being a great experience it deserves the great review!
