    I will not return to this restaurant. Though our waitress was attentive, the food was very expensive for what they offered. The food was ok but not great.

    Enjoyed our gluten free meals and awesome margaritas! Would like more vegetarian gluten free options though. Lots of options on regular menu but so few for celiac

    Great food & service! When we lived here this was a favorite place. Enjoyed a visit during a weekend trip to Denver. As good as I remember, we’ll be back!

    I enjoy eating at the Blue Bonnet when I’m in the mood for Mexican food. Their chips are the best and I like the individual salsa bowls. For me, the Blue Bonnet is relaxing and welcoming. The service is excellent because they take care of you, but don’t bother you a lot while eating. If I want to relax, and “catch up” with a friend or family, they do not hurry you to get leave. The Blue Bonnet is a true, old fashioned place to eat that doesn’t break the budget!

    Best Mexican food in Denver. It's been here for decades. I've been going regularly since 1984.

    We love going to Blue Bonnet! I had the pork belly tacos for a switch (usually a chile rellenos girl) and was very happy with my choice. My dining companion had a smothered burrito and was equally pleased. Good friendly service, easy parking and access.

    Restaurant was very noisy with screaming kids. Bathroom was flooded. Server was running around with too many tables. Food was overcooked and not the freshest. For a long as this place has been a staple of south Broadway, I was expecting a much better experience.
