5.0 of 5 stars. Like some others have said, this place is definitely not authentic mexican food. However, it is delicious food. This is my all time favorite place for chorizo and eggs. They smother it with green...

4.0 of 5 stars. I really really want to give this place five stars. I love that it's been around for 35 years. The La Negra cheese and chorizo dip is off the charts. The combo plates will knock your socks off and...

2.0 of 5 stars. I am truly baffled by all of the good reviews. Our experience was pretty much average to awful. True, the place has been around forever apparently cooking pretty bland Mexican for a bunch of blue...

Yelp.com Review - by Sarah H.

2.0 of 5 stars. Meh. I've had worse, but I've certainly had better, too. The problem with Tepehuan is that it's kind of greasy and the flavors, while pleasant enough, are overwhelmed by all that cheese. I'd rather...

3.0 of 5 stars. I have been dining at this place since I was little. They are delicious but I have to say things have changed over the years. The rice used to be amazing but now it tastes old and dried out every time...

5.0 of 5 stars. Awesome Place. Entering from the street, you are immediately greeted with mouth watering aromas from the grill (which is right by the door). The food is very fresh and I've never had anything that...

5.0 of 5 stars. I LOVE this place. I'm a vegetarian and their vegetarian bean burrito is fully awesome and leaves you full for the rest of the day. Sometimes its hard to work your way around the tables, but overall...

Yelp.com Review - by Mary Jo S.

4.0 of 5 stars. These guys have been in business since 1978 and for that I will give them an extra 1/2 star. Even the chairs say that El Tepehuan is here to stay as they have the name carved on the back. New to me...

5.0 of 5 stars. Great, authentic Mexican food at a cheap price! Good size portions, and great atmosphere (maybe a little cramped when they're busy) and friendly staff. The burritos and chimis are outstanding! If...

El Tepehuan by Cathy F. at InsiderPages

This Mexican restaurant has been in Denver at the same location since at least the early 70's. I don't know of any other restaurant that serves such good green chile. Go early, with a good appetite and you...

3.0 of 5 stars. I went to El Tepehuan before the Dir en grey concert because the restaurant seemed to be the only open place around the Gothic Theatre (later on, I noticed smashburger, oops...). El Tepehuan, I don't...

4.0 of 5 stars. Is this food gringomex? A little. Is it delicious? Yes! For the decade and a half that my family and I have frequented this spot, I've hardly been able to tear myself away from the "Bob Burrito." The...

3.0 of 5 stars. Good, solid and family run. My buddy dragged me here after we laid 1200 bricks for my patio. I was hungry. The horchata was good and I could see him sweating as he ate his green chili. He was...

Yelp.com Review - by Doug Y.

3.0 of 5 stars. Should be rated higher probably at least a 3 1/2 but I can't figure out what to call the food. The staff is Mexican but the food leans toward the gringo clientele that frequents this little spot on...

Great Food

I'm not sure why the previous reviewer said it is smokey - I haven't ever noticed smoke in this restaurant. The food is amazingly good and atmosphere is great for breakfast, lunch or casual dinner.

a true original

Don't let the fact that this place is smoky, noisy, and many of the patrons sport tatoos deter you. They serve a tangy, hot green chile, and great burritos all cooked up right across the counter. We've eaten...
