on Citysearch May 09, 2010We go to Efrain's about once every 6 months. Usually we are quite happy with our visits but our visit yesterday was awful. The hostess was rude, didn't say one word to us and expected us to just know that we needed to... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 03, 2010The original and the best, Jorge Gomez has perfected the servicing of authentic Mexican food. Rumor is that he's buying a couple of new loc... (more)

on Judys Book Feb 18, 2010Being a Boulder, Colorado native, I must say this restaurant's food exemplifies the regional styles of mexican food. The style of green chile served here is not to be overlooked to a true green chile fan. Rich and... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 25, 2009If you haven't tried the green chili you haven't really tried Efrain's. Hot and spicy with wonderful flavor. For best service and most consistent food go to the Boulder location across from the recycling center.... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 07, 2009Efrain's (the original in Lafayette, though the other locations I've been to are also good) is IMHO, by far, the best Mexican restaurant in Boulder county. It is not without it's faults (merely ok margs and salsa and... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 07, 2009I have been eating at Efrain's for many years. My boyfriend of over 5 years now used to live two blocks from Efrain's. Before we moved in together, we used to walk down there for dinner and margaritas just about every... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 10, 2008We were rushed to the bar area for seating and totally ignored by the "We are busy" excuse-ridden waitress. We don't need an excuse, just take our order! Tables seated after us were promptly serviced and maintained.... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 28, 2008It's not the highest quality food, but its inexpensive and tastey and the Margharitas do the trick, you know? (more)

on Citysearch Jul 02, 2007This restaurant has excellent authentic mexican food - the best in the denver metro area. I love their chicken enchiladas and chicken chimis. I don't eat red meat but my wife does and she says the tamales are the best... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 17, 2006Efrain's has captured my wife's and my heart for our favorite restaurant in the Denver area. That's a strong statement, because I like food, and Mexican food especially. Don't come here expecting to have your every... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 05, 2006I was a big fan of Efrain's but recently the service and food have slipped. Just ate there tonight and the waiter didn't stop by to refill a single drink at our 5 person table. The chicken was dry and the flavors just... (more)

on Judys Book May 07, 2006By far our favorite Mexican place in the Boulder/Denver area. This family-run business serves up amazing food (although I've never tried the "Efrain" which leaves the ingredients up to the chef's mood that day).... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 12, 2006Usually pretty busy, and a simple place. But its a pretty good food actually. They could maybe have a better variety of burritos or enchilada's, there were a few interesting items on the menu. They could maybe use a... (more)

on Judys Book Aug 08, 2005Living in Colorado, there are typically a lot of choices to be had in the Mexican food category. A lot of times, it can be easy to bypass the smaller, more interesting establishments in favor of going for the flashier,... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 04, 2005I've been coming to this restaurant with my family since I was in highschool. The owner is very friendly as is the staff. I have nothing bad to say about this place. Yes, it's small and noisy and finding a place to park can... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 01, 2004Yes, it's loud. Yes, it's always busy.That's because it's good! The menu lets you know how hot the food is, there are vegetarian options for my stepdaughter, the Efrain's Special burrito will make you cry with... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 05, 2004Not sure where the negative review is coming from. Perhaps they didn't call ahead and some group bypassed them. This place is most excellent. Very authentic. The service is excellent. The food is so tasty, my mouth... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 14, 2003If you like to wait over an hour and then have the hostess seat someone who arrived after you did, then this restaurant is for you but not for me. I found the food average and the service OK. We like La Estrellita or for more... (more)
