StephenOctober 29, 2014Fantastic place. Great prices! Enchiladas we're great: chicken was perfectly tender and red sauce was delicious and the rice wasn't hard. Less than $20 for a meal for two.Upvote5Downvote
Avery JenkinsOctober 11, 2012If you're really hungry, either get the Beef & Chicken Fajitas or the Efrain Burrito filled with Pork and Chicken then covered in spicy green chile, they're both super filling and delicious!!

Hands down, one of THE best Mexican dives in the state. Get "The Efrain" and make sure you ask for it hot. It SWIMS in a moat of pork green chili.

Morley ZhiAugust 24, 2018Got the ribs in chili verde sauce, one of the best Mexican meals I’ve ever had!UpvoteDownvote
Nora ChangJune 19, 2018Tex mex style. Yummy! They don't do fajita take out. Chimichangas are so good!UpvoteDownvote
This place is so good that when I dropped my leftovers onto the street (it formed a nice little cube), I picked them up and ate them anyhow. It was worth it.Upvote6Downvote
DailyCameraNovember 3, 2010One sample Efrain's burrito: smothered in uber-spicy green chile and pork, but inside featured strips of juicy strips of pulled chicken and a sort of mole sauce. Pleasant surprise = understatement. Read moreUpvote1Downvote

Try the Huevos Rancheros. There's at least a half pound of pork green chili on top of those eggs.UpvoteDownvote

Erin GOctober 21, 2016Authentic, greasy Mexican food. Warning: anything they classify as spicy is no joke!UpvoteDownvote
Get a milagro margarita. For all you gringos that's "me-log-grow"

This is great Mexican food. Can't go wrong, really. Best Mexican in Boulder! (Burgers are pretty good, too, so if you want a burger instead, tag along anyway!)Upvote2Downvote
Brett MorrisAugust 11, 2013Avoid the "Efrain" burrito like the Black Plague or SARS, unless you feel the need to cleanse yourself of pleasant thoughts of Mexican food.UpvoteDownvote
