Located conveniently at 8500 Pena Blvd in Denver, La Casita is a hidden gem in the airport dining scene that transcends expectations for Mexican cuisine. Diners rave about the generous portions and authentic flavors that define this restaurant. Stacia Watts enjoyed a robust taco salad topped with steak, declaring it both satisfying and too large to finish. Meanwhile, Samantha Sklar emphasized the standout tamales and taco salad, recommending the flavorful green chile and noting the perfect balance of sweetness in their margaritas.

This eatery also caters to diverse palates, with Neesha Patel praising the vegetarian-friendly guacamole tostada paired with black beans. La Casita's pricing is commendable for an airport venue, as Caelsob found satisfaction in a hearty breakfast of huevos rancheros complemented by unique peach and lavender tea.

The ambiance may reflect its airport location, but the service, especially from staff like Dominic, elevates the experience. Jeff Helm’s appreciation for the atmosphere, combined with his longstanding affection for La Casita’s tamales, highlights the restaurant's ability to deliver not just meals but memorable experiences. Whether you're in transit or a local looking for comfort food, La Casita is your go-to for an exceptional culinary escape.

I have the taco salad with steak. The portion was so big, I couldn't eat it all. Very good! I'll eat here again

We had a great meal at La Casita. We are from Chicago so we are always suspect of Mexican food out here, no less an airport, but this exceeds expectations. We ordered the taco salad and the tamales and both were delicious. Do not skip on the green chile. Also a really great margarita that wasn’t too sweet. If you are lucky you’ll have Dominic wait on you at the bar

Decent prices for an airport. I got the huevos rancheros with some peach and lavender tea for breakfast. Total came to just under 15 bucks. The corn tortilla was still crispy and the yolks of the eggs on top were runny. Satisfied with my experience.

A convenient Mexican fast food spot located at the center of terminal C. Vegetarian friendly. I had the guacamole tostada with black beans. They were great!

OK. Five for atmosphere at an airport venue is high. But it's an airport. I ate at the bar and was served by Dominic who was awesome. I'm a long time fan of Tamales by La Casita and this location did not disappoint.

Decent option before flying home. We got nachos and salad and sat right at a bar in front of the order line to charge my phone while we waited. We watched for over 20 mins as the young man took orders, explained the menu and interacted with the customers. He was funny, friendly and full of patience. If I could give him 6 stars I would have. Kudos kid. Back to food... cheese on the nachos was a little spicy for me. But it was all fresh and the guacamole was green not brown. They have the deep fried flour bowls which I always like. We saw this first when we came up the escalator, circled thru all of Terminal C and came back. Glad we did.

Sit at the bar get a margarita and relax. Thirty minutes before your flight boards order a taco salad. Hard working individuals. La comida es rapida y el servicio es maravilloso. Dominique is an excellent bar tender.

It is located the corner of the next StarBucks. All fresh and meats are very juicy and soft. Appreciate all staffs that they were so nice even though it seems like they are working without the proper break time. Wish they can take a rest!
