Denver WestwordAugust 5, 2014Benny's is a Colorado classic, a Colorado Mexican restaurant that serves fat-ass burritos, enormous nacho platters, free chips and salsa, and (allegedly) 350 gallons of margaritas every weekend. Read more
Amanda McNeilDecember 28, 2014Spicy and delicious! Portion sizes are large. Two tacos would easily make a dinner. Try the relleno if you haven't had it before. Delicious, strong margaritas.
Brad HagerOctober 31, 2016The BEST & most authentic Mexican food in Denver, so delicious. The chimichanga is AWESOME!!. The chili rellenos are fantastic as well. Try the liter Margarita, so good 😄👍
Justin EldredFebruary 14, 2017Loved the fish tacos, chicken enchiladas, and guacamole! The margarita's are spot on as well. Will be back.
Christopher WorleyApril 15, 2011Try the Barbacoa Chimichanga - Maybe it's the half liter of margarita, but I'm diggin this chimichanga. I substituted red sauce but to be fair I never knew green chili existed till I moved to CO (via
Best chile rellenos in Denver. Also, pay the extra for no ice in your pitchers of margs. And, they do take out.- Denver WestwordJuly 23, 2013If you like your drinks bigger than your face, you can opt for a liter of the Jose Cuervo Gold house margarita for $15 on Tuesdays only.
Becky BetchApril 16, 2012The food, drinks and people are all fabulous here. Anything smothered with their green chile is pretty epic. Om nom nom.
Evie CosciaJanuary 10, 2016Breakfast Burritos are the best in the universe. Great Bloody Mary's as well.
Rebecca HausmannJanuary 6, 2016I always enjoy the food. Their breakfast burritos are tasty and very filling.
Erica MedinaOctober 29, 2011If you're veg, ask for your food to be smothered in the vegetarian chile! So good! Also, Midori margarita = yum!
Benny's ROCK! This is the only place that I have got freebies for advertising on foursquare! 1st vist, free shot of tequila, 3rd visit free queso! LOVE Bennys!!! :)
Ken CaianiDecember 1, 2013Oldie but a goodie. Love the rellenos and of course you have to have a margarita or 2....
Caylen CoxallAugust 5, 2011Their website says their happy hour is until 7 Mon-Thurs until you get your check and then happy hour is magically only til 6. BULLSHIT.
- Can't beat a Benny's fajita! The margaritas are pretty great, too.
ElyNovember 18, 2013Got my loyalty special, yum chili con queso dip--- while watching the Broncos Chief games.
Liter of bennys classic margaritas are only $15 dollars on tuesdays. Talk about a low cost buzz. )
Still good food; but the service has not been as good and speedy as it used to be!
Like drinking turpentine? Try one of their margaritas... Guaranteed to burn your throat and tongue!
Leah ConcialdiApril 29, 2011Ask for the marg pitchers without ice. It's a little extra, but you get so much more!
Liliana DiazNovember 6, 2011The food at Benny's is pretty disgusting but the Margaritas are excellent. Try drinking a couple before ordering food.
Yvette MarieFebruary 17, 2013Haven't been here in years not sure what happened. The food sucks and so does the service. Beans are canned and there is no meat in there green chili. I will never be back again!
Peter KuhnDecember 20, 2009Go to Benny's and try a chili relleno with a margarita. If you plan on having more than one, bring a designated driver! Read more
Ernie IzaguirreDecember 11, 2011The cheese dip sucks. Not authentic at all. Melted chihuahua cheese with chorizo is the way to go.
- Kristine FeuerbornMarch 20, 2011Awesome night at Benny's on the patio. Tamales, rellenos were awesome!
Tom BooneDecember 24, 2010Steak burrito and chicken quesadillas. - I live in Austin and miss Bennys green chili.
genine jonesJanuary 3, 2010their pancakes are the best i have ever had .margaritas , great for a dinner date.
If you are seated in the east dining room and your server is white, prepare for cold food that comes 30 minutes after you order it and no attention paid to you at all.
Jack EdsonDecember 16, 2011The chicken chimichanga is superb...wash it down with a Dos Equis Amber for taste bud nirvana.
