Imperio Azteca

This restaurant was a very pleasant surprise, and we'll definitely return!! The menu is full of great choices, the service and atmosphere are wonderful, and the food...authentic, amazing flavors with great presentation and portions!! It's accessible from multiple highways for out of towners; a beautiful drive you won't regret!

AMAZING!!! the food was excellent!!! Authentic!!! We have been searching for good Mexican food from Texas to Colorado cuz Texas did not have any!!! Who knew we would find Mexican food that holds flavor as good as California Mexican food!!! Maria was our waitress and she was absolutely WONDERFUL!! This is an ABSOLUTE MUST go to place.

Very busy Saturday night but the wait times were still short and staff friendly and quick. My barrilla tacos were amazing and my husband really liked his cheeseburger

The food here is pretty good… especially when you consider the part of the country you are in, you can’t take that for granted. Have I had better Mexican food? Of course. Better margaritas? Yes. But we are in Westcliffe and I’m always happy at the end of the day to be blessed with variety in our local dining options. If I were to recommend anything, it’d be the tampiqueña. It is clear some dishes like this one are being made with skill. I also appreciate the large menu with tons of options, but it may be why some dishes are better than others IMO. Great work!

I could tell just by walking in that this restaurant was going to be good. It did not disappoint! My dinner was excellent and the portion size was perfect. It's quite a bit of food I can't wait to come back and try the other menu items. I also love the decor, it's quite cozy. The service was great. Only one waitress was working, but she was on top of it!

Stumbled on this hidden gem when we came to get hay. This is by far the best Authentic Mexican food I have had since living in Baja California. We ordered the Shrimp Tacos, Casa Enchiladas, and the Chile Relleno combo. And the coffee is yummy also! We will be back. Aye, que rico!

What a hidden gem in the state of Colorado here in Silver Cliff. This restaurant has some of the best street tacos, if not the best I’ve ever had in my life. The Carnitas in taco form or burrito form are amazing. All the different salsas they bring you are homemade and full of intricate flavors. I tried to get better pictures of the food, but it is hard to resist once it is placed in front of you. The employees are also friendly and welcoming.

Dad and I had a late lunch here for Father’s Day, our first visit. The staff was friendly and promptly seated us. They have an extensive menu of traditional Mexican dishes and many updates on the classics. The food was ready while we were still taking the first sips of our drinks, served on piping hot plates in generous portions. Dad had two beef enchiladas with green chili and I had the Imperio Enchilada. The food was good, well seasoned, but mild. We were delighted to be treated to a yummy fruit crepe dessert in honor of Father’s Day. We will definitely be back.
