OK, let’s see… review of Sae Jong Kwan… check! Review of Yum Yum Cake & Pastries… check! Review of Las Fajitas… OOPS! How did that one slip by? Well, since they’re all right next to one another, why don’t I just go ahead and complete the hat-trick now? Some of the best dishes at Las Fajitas, in my ever-so-humble(ha!) opinion, are the ones that take the everyday Mexican classics and put just that slight spin on them to make them stand out. For example, the eatery is one of the few places I can think of locally where one can get a chile relleno stuffed with chicken in addition to cheese. Alternatively, try one of their«Especial» burritos, like the one packed with chunks of tender beef awash in the spicy, brick-red stew known as Chile Colorado. If instead you prefer that *other* tortilla-based dish, I believe you’ll heartily approve of the Enchiladas Del Mar, whose thick jalapeño/cream cheese sauce hides a filling of krab and baby shrimp. And many Mexican places serve bacon-wrapped shrimp, but I ask you — how many think to side them with ranch dressing? Yes, culinary curveballs abound at Las Fajitas — and luckily they all taste phenomenal. But you know, sometimes it’s good to get back to basics, isn’t it? And as it turns out, fans of the popular faves will find themselves in good hands here too. If you get there early enough, their Huevos Rancheros feature *three* green-chile-and-cheese smothered eggs in addition to beans, rice and tortillas — you won’t be eating for a while after that one! Card-carrying carnivores can partake in an order of succulent pork chops, or marinated grilled chicken, or a ribeye steak, while veggie devotees will find that the spinach enchiladas or black bean burrito will suit them to the proverbial«T». And if indecision is getting the best of you, never fear — their substantial A La Carte section will let you have a grand old time mixing and matching to your heart’s content. So next time you’re visiting the beautiful Havana Street District, why not spoil yourself and give Las Fajitas a whirl? I think you’ll be glad you did.

My hubby and I love going to this place. He’s Hispanic so it’s hard for us to find a Mexican restaurant near us that he like’s, we stumbled across this gem running errands one day and are customers for life. I love their mango margarita. The green chili has great flavor and my hubby loves the carnitas! The atmosphere is laid back and the service we get has always been fast and friendly. We go here for date nights together often. Whenever I hear of someone in my neighborhood looking for a great Mexican restaurant I tell them to go here!

Food was good to me. Becaise of the name, i had to try the fajitas, which were good. Ordered the trio, and was glad to get six pieces of shrimp. They don’t have a kids menu, which I found odd. The flan was surprisingly amazing. I do agree, service was a bit slow, but expected based off of previous reviews. Saved 10% by checking in, and got a few sopapillas on the house for a birthday. Come take a visit, it’s a pretty chill place.

this is an inexpensive gem in Aurora that I love the salsa! It’s a very unassuming dive that most people don’t know about, but the food is really good. I would love it if they offered more in the vegetarian department, but overall a solid mexican choice!

If this is authentic Mexican food this must be what they prepare for people that are on a fanfic Mexican food diabetic dietary restrictions. Also when I asked for extra salsa they told me they would charge me until I told them to return the food

I like the vibe of this place. It reminds me of being in an open-air tacqueria in zihuatanejo, mexico, where you order tacos al pastor and icy, cold cervezas. I think they do a good job of marrying the messy, goopey, cheesy Mexican faire that folks here like and traditional dishes, like their tacos. So it really depends on your tastes on what you’ll like here and what won’t move you much. Last night we ordered queso, which was waay too thin and not spicy enough for me. I ordered a crispy releno and it had too much batter for me, but, I loved my taco al pastor with pineapple and pork. I noticed they have some decent deals on daily lunch specials around $ 6.99 which is a great way to try out this little local(non-chain) place. We’ll keep coming back when we need a fix for a little bit of mexico…

The service was horrible!!! We were seated but not acknowledged for over 20 minutes. Tried to get their attention but they were too busy refilling drinks at other tables and giving their checks out. We got up and left. Shame!

Food was great. Not real expensive. Large portions.Salsa was good. The waitress covered the whole place by herself. It was pretty crowded for a Monday. Used the 5.00 Unilocal coupons.

Ordered take out from here last night for the first time. Service was quick and good but the food wasn’t great, it wasn’t bad by any means but it was just ok. We ordered 2 burritos and a side of guacamole and it was $ 30. To be honest since moving to Colorado from Portland we have only found two Mexican restaurants we really liked so maybe with have skewed standards. This spot is blocks from our new house and I bet we may try them again, maybe try different items and have better luck! Big portions that’s for sure!

A great Mexican restaurant at a reasonable price. Combinations are great and the ground beef Chimichanga is also very good.

Always on the hunt for great tacos, we decided one night to check out Las Fajitas on Parker Road. Once we got there, I changed my mind. Since this place is called Las Fajitas, shouldn’t I try their fajitas? The service is a bit slow. They weren’t even half full and the wait staff acted like they were extremely swamped. Once the waitress came over, I ordered the chicken fajitas and a large melon margarita. Brian got the mango margarita and the chicken fajita burrito. They came out piping hot. The fajitas were sizzling and smelled delicious. The portions are extremely huge. We should have split a meal because we had a ton of leftovers. After the restaurant calmed down, the service got a little better. The food was awesome and fairly priced. I would recommend going, but if they are busy, be prepared to wait a while.

We have never had a bad experience here. The service is consistent. The food is good, average mexican food.

Prompt service. Fresh chips, salsa could have more kick. Combo fajitas for 2 was $ 25.99 ish and lacked protein, veggie overload. Flavor was good though. Fresh grilled jalapeño, yum. Soapilla was a bit thick. Had some trouble using the 10% off Unilocal check in.

Las fajitas is ok. I ate there about 7 days ago. The help was very helpful and friendly. I did not have the fajitas… maybe next time I will try especially being that is their specialty. I had smothered tamales and beef taco was ok I expected more. Because of the waitstaff I gave them 4 stars… food 3 stars and service 4 stars. Keep smiling.

The service was terrible and the food was bland. The location needs a lot of work and is pretty run down looking. They didn’t want to take the Unilocal $ 10 for $ 20 and the server argued with me about it for 5 minutes before management had to get involved. I would not suggest this restaurant to anybody.

My husband, 2 kids(6 and 1) and I all shared the Fajitas for Two. The steak was tender and tasty and the onions and peppers were cooked perfectly. It came out sizzling. There was also a huge plate of black beans(our request instead of refried), rice, pico de gallo, cheese, lettuce, sour cream, and guacamole. Perfect number of tortillas too. The service was pleasant. We chose this place because it was nearby when we were hungry, it had good reviews, and they offered a deal. We were pleasantly surprised at how good it was and will have to visit here again!

We tried Las Fajitas with our Unilocal deal. While the shopping center in which they are located is pretty run down, they’ve done a great job decorating the interior of this little restaurant. It’s cozy and colorful. While I was not terribly impressed with the chicarrones in my burrito or the flavor of the refried beans, the enchilada sauce and green chile was very good. The Boy seemed equally happy with the food on his place. We’re excited to come back for breakfast some time in the near future.

My husband and I had an absolutely wonderful lunch. We ordered Chicken Fajitas. Everything was fresh, guacamole, sour cream, pico de gallo, lettuce, Spanish rice, refried beans. Plus a gigantic sizzling platter of chicken with grilled onion and bell peppers. Nice friendly employees and atmosphere, comfortable seating. If you love Mexican food this might become your favorite restaurant.

When you visit a place that has the name of a dish they serve, you know that dish is going to be one of two things: traditional and delicious, or a a touristy disappointing«take» on the dish. So yes, I had the fajitas — and yes, they were delicious. I had the steak fajitas, which came out sizzling and steaming hot — as they should. This was quite the heap of fajitas! The meat was tender and well marinated, especially compared to other fajitas I’ve had in town — very tasty and hit the spot. Copious amounts of onions and peppers came along for the ride too. The tortillas didn’t seem freshly made, but were warm, soft, and did the trick(NOTE: extras are $ 1.25). The Spanish rice had tons of flavor, while the beans were your standard beans. The guac was pretty bland, but the pico decent. The free chips and salsa were good, but pretty standard too. But the important thing was that the main dish delivered. Prices were decent, especially for the amount of food. This place is pretty small, but cozy — it actually felt like a Tex-Mex joint. Despite the size, they somehow fit a keyboard, mic, and speakers in a corner for a lady to sing. It was a bit cheesy, and I loved it: D It kind of accented the cozy vibe, and the kids were certainly enjoying it too. I’ve been reluctant to try such places in Denver, but glad I came in. Good solid food, sweet and friendly service, and a homey atmosphere.
