Description

This Denver restaurant has grown with Denver, since its days in a little bungalow in the early '70s to its current incarnation, a landmark spot overlooking the city, known for its good green chile (the recipe of the late Savina Mendoza, the matriarch of one of the founding families) and enormous margaritas. Although a few items -- shrimp fajitas, for example -- have been added to the board since La Loma was founded, most of the menu has been virtually unchanged since 1973, and so serves up a real culinary history.

By Laura Shunk | Mon, April 4, 2011

It may not be Mexican Mexican, but La Loma serves up authentic Colorado Mexican

By Jason Sheehan | Thu, August 20, 2009

Does Colorado taste like an overpriced tourist trap?

By Jason Sheehan | Thu, August 20, 2009

What is the taste of Colorado? I have been asking this question — in various forms, in various places — almost since the day I started this job. One of my first columns was about the way green chile changes on the way from southern New Mexico to ... More »

To Grandmother's House We Go

By Kyle Wagner | Thu, January 07, 1999

It's taken five years and hundreds of meals, but I think I'm finally starting to understand Denver's obsession with Mexican food. When it's good, it can be very, very good (although when it's bad, it's horrid)--and it doesn't get any better than a... More »

A great place for lunch and happy hour. The place is nuts when there's a Bronco game. Always great margaritas.

There's a reason their parking lot is always full -- La Loma is awesome. Don't be deterred by the number of cars; they have tons of seating and the service is great.

This is one of the best Mexican restaurants in Denver. They have a decent bar area if you want to eat and watch a game as well. A bit of a random location but it is still really close to downtown. Try the Carne Guisada if you like meat.
