Food is DELICIOUS! Carne asada is great, carnitas burrito is good and their house salsa that comes with the complimentary chips and salsa is clearly homemade and really tasty. Service is quick and friendly, and the decor is pretty cool. Specifically the women's bathroom is pretty cool.

Amazing service!!! Would definitely recommend for genuine Mexican food. I had the carnitas platillo, and for 15$ I was more than fed! It was some of the best pulled pork I've ever had, it was the perfect ratio of fat to meat, and very soft. My sister got the mix & mash tacos, where you can try three different tacos which you don't see often in Mexican restaurants. We ordered a palomita, and it took me to back to Mexico! This is a 10/10 place, great service and the vibes in here are fantastic. A modern Mexican restaurant is how I would describe the vibes. The views from the restaurant are amazing as well, you can perfectly see all of Goldens beautiful mountains.

We loved this place. We were visiting Golden for the day and decided to give this place a try. It was delicious. We ordered the green pozole, and a chile relleno plate. Both were excellent, the pozole especially. The service was also excellent, and the ambiance is great. Highly recommend.

Solid food, good service, but a bit too pricey for my wallet. For three people we had tacos, two margs (taps for beer were broken) and a soda which came to $75 not including tip! A bit excessive if you ask me, but maybe that's the reality of eating out these days, everything is just more expensive. Like I said, everything else was great--food, people, atmosphere, but can't justify going back and spending that kind of $$$ on tacos and 1 drink for 3 people.

This new restaurant is just amazing!!! Our server told us their story. They started out selling salsa at farmers markets. Graduated to a food truck. And now they have a brick and mortar location in Golden! The chips were fresh fresh fresh. Salsa was also fresh and excellent. We all loved our cocktails. The Paloma was one of the best I've had. Tequila perfectly balanced with the grapefruit. I had the soft chili rellanos covered in the green chili. It was the best rellano I have had in ages. They are my favorite so I am very picky. The chili was flavorful and the cheese was plentiful, high quality and perfectly melted all the way through. The highlight was the green chili... the whole table liked it so much everyone ordered their own small serving to pour over their meals! The ambiance is beautiful. Gorgeous finishes. Rustic with bright turquoise tile wood finishes. Big glass garage doors that open onto the patio. Should be fun this summer. The staff was so friendly and helpful. The energy is high... we loved every minute! This is our second visit in less than a week!

This review is for the new restaurant that opened in 2025 vs. their original food truck. The food is delicious and not your typical "Americanized" Mexican fare. Not that there's anything wrong with that. It's just nice to have something that feels more authentic and freshly made. We've sampled fajitas, carnitas plate, chile negro and the tacos pastor. Everything was fresh and delicious. The margaritas are also hand made rather than from a gun or tankard. The space is very cool with nice art and the bar centering the venue. Service was attentive and friendly. This will be one of our regular spots.

Pretty delish! I had visited this as a food truck but excited to try it in a sit down restaurant. Just great and an extended menu as well. Warmly greeted and served promptly. High ceilings with a central bar. Didn't try any drinks tonight - next time. They too a good Mon on their salsa and we polished off the chips too .

I've had my eye on La Huacha in Golden ever since I started working there. They always had a line. They always sold out. And somehow, I never tried them... UNTIL they moved into one of the buildings I manage (taking over Pancho & Jane - RIP). Now, it's a problem because I keep spending money... but also the best thing because their food is unreal. I mean, 5.0 stars with 437 reviews?! They're not playing. Let's dig in! What I tried (over several visits): Queso Dip - White cheese sauce + green chiles + tortilla chips (I added chorizo ). Huachadilla Al Pastor - Flour tortilla + melted Monterrey cheese + Al Pastor + guac. Carnitas Tacos - Shredded carnitas, cilantro, white onion. Torta La Huacha - Telera roll + asada + mayo + fresh cilantro + grilled onions + black beans + melted cheese. Tres Leches Cake - Sponge cake soaked in three milks (aka heaven). Horchata Agua Fresca - Cinnamon rice water Pancakes - Two house-made pancakes + scrambled eggs + ham Best Bites: I'm picky about tres leches because the icing can make or break it. This one? Flawless. Creamy, full of flavor, and honestly, I need a bucket. The torta also slapped and the black beans were a nice touch, and the asada was cooked perfectly. If you haven't been yet, do yourself a favor and go.
