Chelos Modern Mexican

Of all the Mexican restaurants that I’ve been to this is the best and I’ve been to all of them in northern Colorado. My wife and I stopped by for lunch. They have a separate lunch menu you get free chips and dip. There are three kinds of dip. We had an appetizer that was a spinach and artichoke with chorizo on the top. and housemaid chips, they came out a hot black skillet and it was the best! I had a burrito that was a spiced ground beef with deluxe toppings, and the spicy sauce. Also, I asked for their house made habanero sauce. It not only was a little hot, but the taste was fantastic. My wife got the Mexican hashbrowns potatoes, all the veggies and scrambled eggs. She said it was the best and had plenty to even take home for tomorrow’s breakfast. Not only was the food good the atmosphe

Absolutely excellent Mexican food. Server was friendly and food is not very expensive. Server forgot to refill my drink but was quick to fix the issue and ended up not charging me for the drink. Would come back, and is a great spot for anyone into Mexican food.

Four of us rolled in for lunch hungry and left plotting our next visit, which feels like the clearest sign a place is doing it right. We started with the chorizo and the artichoke dip, but the real opening act was the chips. Warm, thick, and dangerously snackable, they came with refried beans plus green and red salsas that somehow made “just one more” feel like a reasonable life choice. The fact that they’ll happily refill the chips is both generous and, frankly, a little reckless in the best way. From there we went all in: el pastor enchiladas, carnitas with ribs, a Cali burrito, and the Chelos burrito. Every plate showed up like it had something to prove, and then proved it. Everything was genuinely delicious, and it was the kind of lunch where the table goes quiet for a second because

Great place! Just very busy. Food was good. Free chips and Salsas (red and green) and warm bean dip.

Chelo’s Mexican just opened a few weeks ago and they absolutely nailed it. The inside is super comfy and the vibe is poppin without feeling over the top. Great bar setup and the service is top notch from the moment you sit down. Right away they bring chips and salsa to the table with a side of refried beans which is such a nice touch and a strong first impression. I went with the street tacos and did one shrimp and two al pastor. One of the tacos had the cheese crust add on and that was a game changer. Crispy cheesy goodness that takes it to another level. Pro tip go with the flour tortillas. They are amazing and make the tacos even better. If you are looking for great food solid drinks and a fun welcoming atmosphere Chelo’s is a must visit. We will definitely be back.
