Fiesta's! New Mexican Cafe & Cantina Restaurant Review:


Every surface --- walls, chairs, tabletops --- in this small restaurant is painted with fanciful animals and fish. Colorful piñatas hang from the ceiling, and the atmosphere is pure fun. Much of the food, prepared by Susan and Debbie Marquez, is made from family recipes their grandparents brought to Colorado from New Mexico, though Tex-Mex staples and bar snacks abound on the large menu as well. Start with the spicy guacamole or fresh jalapeño poppers. The green chile is rich and full of pork and freshly roasted green chile. Menudo lovers can go for the slow-cooked, red chile-flavored dish served here. We also recommend the crisply fried chiles rellenos, the ground beef-stuffed savory sopaipillas, and the tamales (served New Mexico-style with an egg or the intriguing white jalapeño sauce on top). For dessert, the sisters make a creamy flan and a hot, cinnamon-sprinkled sopaipilla sundae. There is a cute kids’ menu with ready-to-color pictures captioned in Spanish and English.
