  • Alfonso's Mexican Food (1022 S 21st St, Colorado Springs, CO 80904) - is your savior at 2:00 AM when everything else is closed, and your hunger strikes. This Springs staple is consistently exceptional and open all night, making it a go-to spot for late-night cravings. For a true feast, try the Don Poncho, a massive one-foot burrito that's loaded with a surprising mix of ingredients, including fries. Just a word of caution: It's not for the faint of heart or those watching their cholesterol.

  • Arceo's (1605 S Nevada Ave, Colorado Springs, CO 80905) - is a go-to spot for family-style Mexican cuisine offering generous portions at unbeatable prices. It's undoubtedly the top value in town for authentic Mexican dishes, with most options prices around $15, including their delectable fajitas served with all the fixings. Expect not only delicious food but also speedy service and hearty portions, like their Super Molcagete, a flavorful Mexican stew brimming with chicken, shrimp, fish and beef.

  • Azada Mexican Grill (16 E Bijou St, Colorado Springs, CO 80903) - they craft tortillas right before your eyes, setting the stage for what is considered to be Colorado Springs best breakfast burrito. Their build-your-own burritos are outstanding all day, and on Mondays, you can snag a special for under $10. Since 2013, this unassuming family-owned joint has been serving authentic Mexican fare. If you're a fan of Chipotle or Qdoba, this is a must-have.

  • Crystal Park Cantina (178 Crystal Park Rd, Manitou Springs, Colorado Springs, CO 80829) - a beloved fixture in Manitou Springs since 2011, has earned its reputation for exceptional margaritas and picturesque vistas. Their commitment to utilizing the freshest ingredients is evident in both their cuisine and beverages. The pomegranate margarita, a harmonious blend of sweetness and tartness, complements their flavorful, smoky mole dish beautifully. It's the ideal destination for a post-Incline hike treat.

  • Dos Santos (70 E Moreno Ave, Colorado Springs, CO 80903) - offers a Mexican fusion experience with a trendy urban twist, characterized by vibrant, contemporary aesthetics, and a remarkable bar that serves some of the most potent, fruit-infused margaritas in the city. Start your culinary journey with their fresh seafood appetizers, like the shareable poke nachos and ceviche, before savoring the monthly Taco of the Month, which captures the essence of the season flawlessly. And if you're a rap enthusiast, don't miss out on the Wu-Tang Wednesdays, where you can vibe to old-school hip-hop tunes all day long.

  • El Chapin (1228 E Fillmore St, Colorado Springs, CO 80907) - a resident food truck stationed outside Ranch Foods Direct, is your go-to destination for the most genuine Mexican street food in southern Colorado. We strongly encourage you to step out of your comfort zone and savor the lenqua tacos for a delightful and texturally diverse experience. Don't forget to complete your meal with a refreshing agua fresca as you dine beneath their sheltered patio.

  • Jarrito Loco (315 W. Highway 105, Monument, CO 80132) - Jarrito Loco is a cozy eatery with a family feel, serving up Grandma Maria's cherished recipes.
