Where are the Best Margarita in Boulder, Colorado?
Casa Alvarez can use much improvement. While they have a cozy atmosphere, the menu fails to provide a good selection of mexican food, and the food they do provide is very low in quality and taste. I ordered chicken enchiladas, and much of the meat was not even white meat. In addition the service is poor, being very unattentive to their guests. They even charge $2.00 for a refill on chips & salsa. There are plenty of other good restaurants in Boulder if you are searching for mexican food
I really enjoyed the margaritas! They aren’t syrupy-sweet and they tasted great. I originally tried to order a different mixed drink, but our waiter claimed that they only have beer, wine, and tequila. The food was good, but nothing unusual or outstanding. The service was kind of slow. We were there on a weeknight and it wasn’t that busy. We were hoping to order dessert, but when our waiter finally dropped the bill off, he just dropped it and ran, so we paid and left.Pros + Good margaritasCons – slow service
I’m pretty prejudiced when it comes to Mexican food. I was raised on TexMex, long before fajitas had been put on a menu at Ninfa’s in Houston. It’s something only Texans understand, and those of us that take it seriously know the subleties between TexMex in Dallas, vs San Antonio, vs Austin. Mexican food is like Chinese, complex in its regional differences and its various north of the border permutations. Juanita’s is a fun rollicking unpretentious restaurant with great food and service. The enchiladas are done well, the fajitas are excellent, and the tamales are good too. It’s not El Fenix in Dallas, but its far superior than the slop down the street at Rio Grande.Pros + Crab cakes, enchiladas, atmosphere
