“ Great food and drinks the prices are unbeatable. And our waitress was amazing!! First time there and we are definitely going back.! This is going to be out new date spot . Fyi the coconut margarita is AMAZING glad she recommended it to me ”
“ Me and my cousin came after my graduation ceremony from culinary school and definitely enjoyed the food and drinks. Kuddos to chef who made the beans, salsa and corn on the cob because they were fire. I recommend the birria tacos, margaritas and the elote corn on the cob. It's our first time in denver and this is a place worth visiting for their award winning tacos. The fried ice cream was delicious but I personally didn't care for the cheesecake but definitely gonna try their churros next time. ”
“ I love this restaurant ! I have been here a few times and most recently brought my girlfriend here for her birthday. She has a high bar for Mexican food so I was excited to hear her opinion, guess what, she loved it !! The Al pastor fajitas blew me away and she thoroughly enjoyed the birria and carnitas tacos. Free chips and salsa is always appreciated as well. We also got margaritas and were very impressed ! They have SO MANY options for margaritas as the name implies. Anything from your classic coin style to very creative styles like dessert and candy margs. ”
“ We had an amazing experience at La Mariposa and a huge part of that was thanks to our incredible server, Leo. The drinks were excellent, and he even surprised us with free margaritas for Margarita Day, which made our night even better! If you're dining here, definitely ask for Leo—he’ll make sure you have a fantastic time. We’ll definitely be back! ”
“ Our family has always loved La Mariposa. They are simply the best! Their new space is amazing, don't miss out!!! ”
“ La Mariposa is a great place for having dinner. They have several vegetarian options (two burritos, enchiladas, tacos, and some appetizers) and some gluten free options. We had the spinach enchiladas, the veggie burrito and the elotes as an appetizer. Everything here is delicious and tasty but a little bit greasy. And if you like margarita they have ALL of them. The inside of the restaurant is beautiful and the staff is very friendly. ”
“ Great place. Greeted by a lovely little girl (must have been the daughter of the owner) that sat us at our table. The food was great. The happy hour is 3-6 and the margaritas are 6!!!!! Ordered the nachos that were 12. Pretty good. Had carrots on the nachos, was a vibe tho. They forgot the guac and sour cream tho. No big deal. Definitely worth the 12. Menu is included in my photos ”
