Solid place to stop for lunch on/around Auraria Campus. Their food and vibe feels very authentically Mexican, and the prices are generally reasonable. Lots of meat choices (highly recommend their Adobada), all fresh ingredients, and the staff has always been very nice!

I recently had the pleasure of hosting an event catered by Los Molinos Restaurant, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. As someone who values both quality food and attentive service, Los Molinos exceeded my expectations in every aspect. From the moment I reached out to inquire about their catering services, the team was incredibly responsive and helpful. They took the time to understand my needs and preferences, offering a range of menu options that showcased their authentic Mexican cuisine. The flexibility they provided in customizing the menu was a breath of fresh air, allowing me to incorporate both traditional favorites and unique dishes that delighted my guests. On the day of the event, the catering team arrived promptly, fully prepared and organized. Their professionalism was evident as they set up the buffet, ensuring everything was presented beautifully. The aromas wafting from the food were tantalizing, and I knew we were in for a treat. Now, let's talk about the food! Los Molinos truly shines in this department. Each dish was bursting with flavor and made with fresh ingredients. What impressed me even more was the attention to detail. They provided all the necessary utensils, plates, and napkins, which made my life so much easier. The staff was courteous and attentive throughout the event, ensuring that everything was running smoothly and that my guests were well taken care of. Overall, my experience with Los Molinos Restaurant's catering was fantastic. They not only delivered delicious food but also provided a level of service that made the entire event enjoyable and stress-free. I received numerous compliments from my guests about the food, and many asked for the restaurant's information to plan their own events. If you're looking for a catering service that offers authentic Mexican cuisine with a personal touch, I highly recommend Los Molinos Restaurant. I can't wait to work with them again for my next gathering!

I'm absolutely speechless by how incredible this place is. It has the essence of home, a friendly staff, the most reasonable prices I've ever come across (my meal + breakfast the next day was $20), and to top it all off, it was done SO quickly. I was on a lunch break doing a job at the convention center nearby and was nervous about taking too long, but because of how professional the staff is, I ended up having time to eat my meal and make it back to work early! Thank you to everyone at Los Molinos, you've got a customer for life here!

This shop has great and affordable food for being downtown and on campus. The General Manger is very friendly and also supports student events and projects when possible! The staff are all friendly as well. Their breakfast burritos are a must at least once a week for me! Also the best REAL horchata I have had around these parts!

Los Molinos is a must-visit! Their tortillas are fresh, soft, and absolutely perfect. The chicken is incredibly flavorful—juicy, tender, and seasoned just right. Whether you’re having tacos, a burrito, or just a chicken plate, you can’t go wrong. Great food, friendly service, and a cozy atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Our company ordered catering from Los Molinos, and it was hands down the best catering service we've ever used. The food was exceptional, with each dish offering incredible flavor and freshness. The quality was top-notch, and we were pleasantly surprised by how reasonable the pricing was, given the generous portions and attention to detail. The team arrived promptly and took care of all the setup, which made the entire process completely hassle-free for us. The presentation was professional and inviting, and the staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and accommodating throughout the event. We couldn’t have been happier with the overall experience. Los Molinos will definitely be our go-to for future events
