Benny's Restaurante & Cantina
 

Description

Located in Capitol Hill, this lively cantina is one of Denver's most popular Mexican restaurants. Prepare to wait for a table any night of the week, but the bar is comfortable and a great place to pass the time. The Grilled Chicken Burrito is a menu classic, or if you prefer the meat to be shredded, try the Smothered Burritos, which come doused in a mound of chile verde. The margaritas are recommended, and the starter chips and salsa are some of the best in town.

This was the first place I went when I arrived in denver last night. Being from norfolk va an east coast town older than dirt . I have only been to taco bell and man I had no ideah what I have been missing. My buddy chris picked me from the airport and told me we were going to grab a beer and a shot I love my patron so we hit bennys and after a drink or two I noticed how great the kitchen was smelling so I ordered and man I am hooked!

Great Mexican Food
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 4/9/10
I love Benny's and will always go there. We continue to take out of town company there and they always want to go back. It is fun, fast and consistant food. A great place to go with a group of friends. The food is good, the marguarita's better. If you have not been go tonight. Sometimes there is a wait but you can hang at the bar and I have never had to wait for more than one marguarita. Love it!!

This place has been hit or miss for us. There are other Mexican places in the area that I would recommend instead (but probably shouldn't in a review for Benny's). Keep searching, you'll find them!

Yummy

This was a place that our conference group came to for Mexican food. It was all really tasty and I especially liked the margaritas here. The staff were super nice and helpful.

Good Mexican
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 1/2/09
Benny's is a good place to take the family for Mexican food. Though the atmosphere is a little dark and crowded, they do have good food. The chicken taco has cubes of chicken, though I would prefer a pulled type and more moist. The crispy relleno is flour tortilla wrapped around a canned green chile. The green carne asada pork over the top is tasty and I think based on the sauce it could make a good burrito. The salsa was good and the chips were fresh and warm. They have Margarita's for $5 may be hard to beat.

Benny's is fun and has great food. The service is slow, but it's fun to hang out and relax. Margarita's are not the best but not bad. The stuffed sopapilla is delicious, full of cheese and green chili!

Is a fun tasty restaurant
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 12/28/08
We have gone here for years. It is also a favorite for my teacher friends and I to hang out. Benny's has above average margaritas, solid green Chile, good chile rellenos, good fish tacos. Great place for kids, nice patio. Service is good too. Bartenders are really nice.

Quaint little place that seems to be very popular with the local neighborhood. We had surprisingly delicious food with even better service. themargaritas were even better! We will be going again!
