After a doctor appointment in Denver, I was very
hungry. We also had not been to one of
my favorite Mexican places in a while and I have never written a review of Las
Caras so it was a perfect opportunity.
Las caras is a small family run Mexican restaurant, filled
with pictures of the family on the walls and maybe 10 or 12 tables.
We took a seat at the first table, you seat yourself, and
quickly they brought us menus and asked if we wanted chips and their famous red
onion salsa (they charge $1.00). We did
and we all ordered cokes as well. When
they brought all this back out, we had already decided what we wanted, which I
actually decided that morning before we even left home. My dad and I both got the combo with a cheese
enchilada, a chile relleno, and a burrito. ($10-11 ish) The burrito came with a
choice of meat we both chose steak ($ 1.00 extra). My mom had the combo with a cheese enchilada,
a chile relleno and a ground beef taco.
The combos also come with rice and beans.
We have been here many times, but the first time I wasn’t so
sure about the red onion salsa. After
having it again I began thinking this stuff is really good. I think the tomatoes might be canned, but the
rest seemed like fresh ingredients, jalapenos, onion and garlic. This was a chunky salsa which I also liked.
My combo was excellent, like it always is here. The chile relleno was just how I like them,
crispy, cheesy and smothered in green chile.
They are the egg roll wrapper type which I think are the best ones. The burrito was also very good especially the
steak, this was also covered in green chile.
The cheese enchilada was alright, and there was nothing wrong with it,
but it was definitely my least favorite of the three items. The rice and beans were also good, and definitely
better than most places.
Las Caras is and has always had great food and service and
is one of my family’s favorite Mexican places.
I highly recommend Las Caras for a great family run Mexican restaurant
with great food at reasonable prices.
