    I don’t quite understand the low rating. I love Mexican food and there are lots of choices in this area. I had been to another location before and it was fine. This location blows every other joint in this area out of the water. I loved it! The food was fantastic and my margarita was amazing. My server, Lizbeth, made me feel cared for and cared about for the first time in months. I will definitely go back. 10/10, will recommend to friends.

    The food here was not the best. My friend and I both ordered burritos and realized that despite the sauce being pretty decent, the meat was not properly cooked. The main reason why I am not giving this one star is because the service there was pretty decent and our server was kind.

    Music, hampshire, servers, and especially food is beyond great. Not my first time here and its definitely not my last. Gets pricey fast but its worth it.

    Came to this location cause it was bigger. Had a large party on a weekday, called ahead to let them know. Hostess was nice. Wouldn't split checks, staff was inattentive, short and annoyed and didnt get simple things like water refills. The restaurant was mostly empty. There was plenty staff eating and walking around. Service not great. Food was good. Won't go back to this location.

    We’ve only been to this location twice. The first time, the service was ok. Nothing to write home about but not the worst ever. When we came last night, we ended up walking out. They weren’t crazy busy when we arrived so we were seated right away. Someone brought chips and salsa but never said a word to us and that was the last we heard of anyone for the next 20 minutes. When our waitress finally came over, it was very clear that she was brand new and the poor girl was struggling. She had no clue they even had a drink menu when we asked for one. To be clear, my issue isn’t with her. She never should have been given a table by herself. We ordered drinks and food and it was another 20-25 minutes before drinks came out. They forgot about one of them and didn’t have another one. At this point we’d been there almost an hour and we don’t even have all of the drinks. When we asked to talk to the manager, he was unhelpful and rude. When we pushed, he offered to take care of one of the meals. At that point, we had been so disappointed by the service that we told him we’d be leaving. We were there to celebrate and left in terrible moods. Luckily we found somewhere else to eat after and ended up having a fantastic night. We absolutely won’t be back here though

    The whole family came tonight, and the food was very good. I really liked the chips and salsa, and the steak and chicken fajitas.

    I have been looking and waiting for a restaurant like this! I typically order chicken mole to see how authentic the restaurant is. Real de Minos is the real deal. The chicken mole was so good! My family enjoyed their meals as well. Chimichanga, and shrimp Enchilada's were all super good. I would recommend this place to everyone!

    This was the worst experience I have had in a long time. My party of four was seated by the host and was brought chips and dip. We were off to a good start. After 15 minutes we did not have a drink menu, no waiter. It was not busy this were five other tables and some people at the bar. There were at least five waitresses checking tables avoid eye contact with my table. At 20 minutes or so our waitress shows up and is very obvious she is new we order food ask for drink menu and and fill get four waters and ask for more chips and dip. 15 minutes past no chips no one was at the bar making our drinks. Couple minutes later I could she our waitress making our drinks not a bartender we get two of 4 drinks after approximately 20 minutes of putting in the order. I finally go to the host and ask for a manager because up to this point everyone has been avoiding our table. The manger took his time coming to the table and his first words were I hear we had a little trouble and the waitress we have should not have been given a table tonight. No apology no we will take care of you. After and hour of feeling discriminated against (waitress avoid eye contact and our table) and see the waitress rush to check on us after asking for a manger. After this manager was taking his time and clearly not caring about our experience we walked out with our drinks and food untouched on the table. Worst part the manager did not care at all our money was not good enough for his business. AVOID THIS PLACE they do not deserve your hard earn money.

    This is a review of the location off of Abilene and Evans. So, the food's pretty good, but this place is a hot mess: no bartender, so the ladies waiting tables have to make drinks, which they don't really know how to do... the kitchen can't seem to keep orders with any modifications straight, and the speed of service isn't fantastic either. But the young lady who was our server was unfailingly polite and of good cheer, so we will probably give them another chance.

    The beans and rice are good. The service is medium. The servers are a bit lazy. Do not order shots, as every time I get one it is watered down. Maybe if I was Mexican it wouldn't be. Understand?

  • 5/5 Deena A. 1 year ago on Google
    The staff always have smiles, and treat everyone as if your part of the familia. The quality and portion sizes of the food is unbeatable. Its a One-of- a-Kind place! They have more than one location, to better serve the guests. {They have a program that feeds those less fortunate and are unable to feed their families.} For that they deserve more advertisement and praise. Thank you to the Real de Minas entire familia for the excellent customer service and high quality food.

    For my to go order, barbacoa was dry and tough, rice and beans were missing, horchata was like that over sweet powder mix from walmart. Can’t recommend this place … for those reasons i’m out.

    Been to both locations and each are amazing. The food is fresh and tasty. The best hot wings I've ever had!

    Arrived at 3pm on A Saturday there was a handful of tables being served. Perhaps the staff was recovering from crazy lunch because they were less than motivated. Waited for 7-10 minutes before we were offered drinks. Ordered water from young girl. Waitress came shortly thereafter took our food and drink order. Drinks came and food followed rather quickly. Food came HOT 🔥and plentiful it looked and smelled delicious. Waitress returned about 7 minutes later to ask how food tasted. We were still waiting on tortillas which she mentioned would be coming when she initially dropped of food. We then asked if she could bring anything else we mentioned that water was ordered and still hadn't arrived. Overall FOOD A+EXCELLENT, SERVICE C-

    Ordered to-go and was missing a few items. Called in to get a replacement and no answer. Also ordered enchiladas and the sauce was unusually sweet.

    I loved this restaurant! Food was fresh and really tasty! The servers were nice and efficient!! I brought my best friend from Illinois here with me and she enjoyed it too! The different salsas they gave us at the beginning of the meal with the chips were SO good!!

    The food is great and the service is great. But twice in a row I have had a close encounter with a spider. The last one was on our table. Need to do some pest control. Other than that I would have given them 5 stars.

    In a humble building that used to be a Fuddruckers you will find an unassuming Mexican restaurant with an extensive menu. Rial de Minas has three other locations in the Denver metro area and I hope they are as bueno as this one. I had the Enchiladas Banderas which features a red, a white, and a green sauce over your choice of chicken or steak enchiladas. All are tasty and not overly spicy. The steak in the filling was exceptionally well seasoned and elevated the dish. There so much on the menu. I can’t wait to go back and try another selection.
