Great food and outdoor patio. Prices seem to be getting a little higher.
The food was amazing.The service was great. I would definitely recommend it .
This is a good place to eat mexican food i love there whole made chips and. They have a out door patio clean place to eat. Some what friendly services. Off street parking.
My fav location for delicious mexican food. I give this place double thumbs up. It has an awesome feel to it. Menu is like a cafe in Indianapolis I liked.
It was my first time here. The food was excellent. The bartender Gina made our drinks top notch. Will definitely be back.
Best Mexican food in Denver. And gorgeous tree-canopied patio.
I've been going to El Noa Noa since I was a little kid. The food is amazing and the service is great. My family always caters all of our family events from food from here. Not really sure what these bad reviews are about. El Noa Noa has been a staple of the arts district for years now. I can't wait for the summer so I can get back on that beautiful patio!
Great patio, equally matched by the food. Mexican cuisine at its best.
First time here... pretty good, to good... older style of Mexican restaurant... service was good though... and fairly priced... Cheers!
I decided to give this place another shot and, I'm glad I did. The service was absolutely phenomenal. The atmosphere was very inviting and, the food was excellent. Do yourself a favor and, come give this place a try. There is ample parking up and, down Inca.
Great food, very friendly staff, and a nice environment! Love that patio.
This is the only Mexican restaurant I've ever been in my entire life that charges for chips and salsa. They also charged us $10 to make a cheese quesadilla since they didn't have it on their menu. And lastly I ordered some extra guac and apparently they have a tiny beady eyed Jew in the back of the store dishing out their portion sizes.
Denver staple. If you live here, it's a must visit at least 4x per year.
Great food we had breakfast and it was amizaning. Steak and eggs green chili and beans out of this world.
Not my favorite food but a solid go-to option. Great chips and salsa, ok margaritas, big servings and definitely affordable. Great service and lots of indoor and outdoor flexible seating. Takes reservations and very accommodating.
Very bad came out in hair in the often and the server very prepotent abusive
Fast service and delicious food on a busy First Friday. Our food was at our table in lightning speed. Attentive service and great food, what more could you want.
We came in for a business meeting (with a friend / associate) and were thrilled with the patio seating - the courtyard is right on a busy street BUT there's a large waterfall that helps dampen traffic noise and the trees and breeze were lovely. Our waiter was friendly and had great suggestions for food and drinks. We started with queso dip and margs (the fruity ones were amazing) and then moved on to more margs and dinner. We were pleased with the whole experience and would definitely come back.
Denver's most beautiful patio! Great food, great margaritas, to excellent service that accommodates kids! I pulled up on my bike and asked the server if I could chain my bike to the fence, he was very kind and accommodating!
Very nice people treating me and my family very good
It s alright, I wouldn t say its great or will blow you away but it isn t bad. The flavors all felt a little muted, or watered down.
Goid food, need more vegetarian options.. Great outdoor patio if you are lucky and the weather is right.
after a long string of disappointing mexican places in CO this place finally hits the spot. It's not what youll get down south but this is by far the best mexican ive had in CO. The salsa/queso are on point, the meat was seasoned well, good choices in cheese. If i had any complaint whatsoever it was that my quesadilla wasnt 100% as crispy as id like but maybe ill request for it to be crispier and see how that goes next time. Still if you read my other reviews on mexican places in CO and read this one i think youll understand im a fan of this place
The food is great, service is fast. Been going here for decades.
The food was amazing and they had great costumer service on a scale of 1 to 5 I would give it a ten
Beautiful atmosphere and fantastic food, I'll recommend for lunch and dinner
There was a fingernail clipping in my frozen margarita! I was drinking and it came up though my straw. Disgusting! I was obviously traumatized. That has to be a health code violation. Thank god I didn't order food! (I would leave 0 stars if that was an option.)
The food is authentic and Delicious. And the staff is friendly.
The food was mediocre I got charged $11 for a pretty small chicken burrito there wasn't even any sour cream normally when you buy $11 burrito you get rice and beans on the side they charge me an extra $4.50 for that. And then to add insult to injury they charge $4.50 for a Budweiser bottle. I went there on First Friday they have a separate menu for First Friday they say is too have less choices so your food comes faster but I'm pretty sure that it is an inflated menu I will never eat there again. Also the bar area is the worst ever there is people running in every direction it is the stupidest location for a bar you could possibly have
I was very pleased and more importantly the kids were happy. The atmosphere is awesome with a fantastic outdoor patio. The staff was super friendly and helpful and is now one of our top mexican places to eat.
Service is great! Friendly attentive knowledgeable. They dont rush you. Patio has a waterfall, it's fun and relaxing to eat here!! Great variety of choices and prices. Love it here.
Always great food. Love the staff. I've been eating here for over 15 years.
Its alittle spendy but the food and service made it a 4. I'll visit again if I'm in the area. I hear they have a great patio in the summer. That also will tempt me to check it out in July. I'm not sure about live music but I would like to find out next time when the sun is bright.
Chili Relleno Burrito is half the price of next door and just as good.
It's a really cute Mexican restaurant seems like in honor of Juan Gabriel which is amazing. The food was ok. The horchata is so good. Great atmosphere, will go back maybe try something else on the menu.
Consistently good food. Great service. Always have a great experience there!
Great food at a decent price. The staff is always friendly and their patio is great during the summer time! This place is perfect if you want a bite to eat before cruising the Santa Fe art district
The food and service is very good each time we visit.
good place to grab a bite when checking out the galleries in the area. nothing spectacular, but passable American version of Mexican food.
The Mexican-style crema is superior to any 'sour cream'. Definately my new favorite nacho plate.
Great ambience and service. Not many vegetarian options. Food and drinks are standard.
Consistently awesome food, service, and friendly staff! Their outdoor patio should be boasted greatly, but shhhhhh!!!.... its a hidden gem!!! And let s not forget our favorite Michalada drink EVER!
Kind of blah. Mediocre at best. Steak nachos, tough with gristle. Everything needed salt.
What a big, comfortable outdoor patio. Made me feel ok eating there. They had a lot of space between tables. The food was solid, Mexican cuisine. The prices are modest. The service was very friendly and prompt.
This is my boyfriend and mines favorite date night spot!!! Food is amazing!
Worth waiting for Thursday pozole night during these winter months.
Great food and nice ambiance. But parking is at a minimum.
The best food and customer service.. this is my favorite place ever!!!
All around delicious Mexican food. Great patio area as well
Amazing service and food. Worth the money. Awesome people. Much love.
Good food. But order delivery twice, gave it a second chance, both times a crispy rellano. I asked for the green Chile on the side, both times came smothered. Now the crispy rellano is a soft rellano. Sounds small, but it was not what I ordered, ruined it for me and wasted my money. Won't be back.
I like the food the service more or less they have variety in the beer
Good fairly standard Mexican food. The patio is really nice and it sits right near the art district.
Ive been 3 times. Ordered 3 different things. I can't say any of them was good. I do love the salsa and the staff is nice.
Great food & quick service. Ordered delivery through grub hub and it got here in 30 min.
Our favorite after work spot. Great outdoor patio and decently priced food and always friendly wait staff.
The staff was very attentive, the patio was spacious and the fajitas were delicious and filling. Beware, the chips and salsa are an extra cost.
Good food. Go there when weather is nice, as dining on their patio is the best.
Some of the best food and services is always some of the greatest very clean and colorful
The food is ok. I feel like they get their business just by being in that location and they can skimp on quality food. Then again I live near in arizona so I know real mexican food. Although their margaritas were spot on!
A friend and I tried El Noa Noa for lunch one day because we heard about the patio. The patio was reserved for a private party - but it looked like an awesome spot for food/drinks - we ended up eating inside. The service was GREAT. The food was delicious and authentic. We ordered guacamole and horchata to start, both were great. I had tamales for lunch, and took home everything I couldn't finish. El Noa Noa was a great find and I can't wait to go back!
Not the place to be. We walked in got our table and waited over 20mins, I finally asked for someone to take our order and the guy was very rude about it, but he did get our server for us. They brought us burnt chips and salsa that tasted like it was out of a can. When our food finally came it was disappointing to say the least. The Beans and rice was dry. I had the chimichanga and it was soggy! Authentic Mexican food, not even even close. Not once did our server come and ask how anything was. After "lunch" we had our plates nicely placed at the end of the table to show we were ready for our check, our server walked by our table 3 times while helping her other tables, not once stopping by our table. So I once again had to walk up front and ask if we could have our bill. Once again being treated rude by the person like I was bothering them. Long story short worst experience ever. Never ever will we be back.
Very very authentic. The beef has no American taco seasoning, almost everything has a bit of spice in it. Guac is very good and does not have tomatoes and onions in it. Chile relleno was 5 stars. Enchalada was great. I look forward to coming back. The patio makes for some of the best outdoor seating around as well! Nice water feature makes for nice sound.
Good overall. Been here several times over the years. They now deal with huge first Friday crowds. So be careful when you go... You may be rushed through.
The food is always delicious and the service is amazing.
