When you have a craving for tacos, guacamole, or a burrito smothered in green chile (yum!), check out any of these Mexican restaurants in Highlands Ranch.
Los Dos Potrillos
Located a quick seven-minute drive north of the Legacy at Highlands Ranch apartments, “Los Dos,” as it’s known to locals, is definitely a favorite for delicious red chile, refreshing margaritas, and tasty street tacos. The restaurant has three locations in the South Denver area, including Littleton, Centennial, and of course, Highlands Ranch. The founder, Jose Ramirez, worked hard to achieve his dream of starting a restaurant, putting everything he owned into the first location. With high-quality service and a family-friendly atmosphere, it’s not hard to see why the restaurant is a success! Stop by to try their carnitas tacos, chile relleno nachos, or chicken taco salad. Or, stop by for a drink and snack on housemade chips and salsa.
Salsa Brava
Looking for fresh and light Mexican fare? You’ve found your place at Salsa Brava, a local chain that prioritizes high-quality ingredients and a community atmosphere. If you enjoy running, try out their “Nacho Ordinary Run Club,” with meetups on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Attend regularly to win prizes, such as free drinks and food. Whether or not you like to run for your grub, check out their specialties, such as the blue corn shrimp and lobster enchiladas, chipotle barbeque ribs, or chicken stuffed poblano peppers.
Casa Caliente
Located ten minutes east of your new home at Legacy at Highlands Ranch, Casa Caliente is yet another fantastic local option for Mexican cuisine. Try their fajitas with traditional tortillas, or, for a healthy twist, as lettuce wraps. They are known for their green chile, tamales, and Mexican sandwiches called tortas. Visit any day of the week from 11am to close.
