Que Bono!!
In some ways,this place is a hole. The chairs are uncomfortable. The speakers in the bar sound like a rusty trombone. On busy nights, I've seen cleaner restrooms at Cheeseman Park. But hole or not, it's a tight fit for the up and coming progressive community thriving in Antique Row. Antique my heiny!! What a misnomer. This neighborhood is flowing with young blood, teeming with all kinds of stuff....

Truly amazed it does the business it does
I'm lost. Why does this place get a crowd? Surely there can't be that many white folks with no taste in their mouth (and I'm Italian, so I put myself in that category). Bland, unimaginative, nothing close to authentic Mexican. There's a Taco Bell 50 feet out the door and it comes closer to real Mexican food than this place. And the margaritas are a joke. You'd be better buying a bottle of ...

Margaritas, and the decline of Western Civilization.
Warned by a friend that the food at The Blue Bonnet was a joke, off we went to this former landmark anyway. The food was amusing, but the house margarita was hilarious. If this is a Margarita, then I?m the the King of Pop. The drink was a massacre, Sand Creek on the Platte. I thought I?d stumbled into Tony?s Meats by accident, given the butcher job here. I mean, it was OFFAL! If there were a ma...

How does this place stay in business?
Quite honestly, I have absolutely no clue how this place stays in business or how it manages to get good reviews in the newspaper! I have been there a total of three times over the years, primarily because other people wanted to go there. The first time I went there, I found it to be marginal, nothing special. The other times were poor. The food is obviously not made to order and it reheated by m...

Low quality
My office used to be near Blue Bonnet, so we would reluctantly go there on occasion. The food's not great; it's cheap Mexican food (I use the term loosely - nowhere close to authentic). You have to guess the kitchen is mainly equipped with microwaves and can openers. However, it has a convenient location, and a fun atmosphere.

Very mediocre, which is unfortunate because its right in my new neighborhood and I consume alot of mexican food and drink. Industrial style food and beverage prep makes for a disappointing product which grows old quickly, both literally and figuratively. ( Seriously, margaritas on tap? ) Theres nothing better than a freshly mixed margarita, and sadly, The Blue Bonnet mass produces theirs, and th...

Good food...but average service
This restaurant is a nice place to go for a large gathering of people. The place is really loud and thus doesn't work for a nicer dinner. The food was great but the service was very average. The margaritas are good, but certainly don't compare to many other places. Overall, a good place for a quick, casual meal, but I would plan somewhere else if you are looking for something nicer.

gastronomical trainwreck
Both of my experiences at the Blue Bonnet Cafe were really bad. This place is a chamber of culinary horrors. The salsa is runny, the chips are stale, the piles of half-melted yellow cheese left me bloated and uncomfortable, the green chile is red and runny, with fatty and gristly pork remnants, not lean like other places in the neighborhood. The margaritas were watery and bland. It's almost like ...

I got dragged back in here recently. This joint?s been around for awhile but then, so have I. Although I no longer patronize the place, I remember the days when they?d use turkey in the chicken items to make a few extra pennies. Not too long ago, actually.

Just Another Mexican Restaurant
For us, it was just another medicore Mexican restaurant. It was an overcrowded restaurant with good service and food that was ordinary. You can get the same food at any chain mexican restaurant in Denver. The price is comparable to other mexican restaurants so don't travel downtown just for this one.

The old marketing adage states ?You don?t sell the steak, you sell the sizzle.? Well said for many types of businesses, but unfortunately for the Blue Bonnet Cafe, restaurants actually do sell the steak.

Great service, chilled out atmosphere & decent food
A friend of mine & I stopped in for lunch today. Our water came quick, our chips & salsa soon after & then our drinks. I wasn't into having alcohol today, so I sampled a strawberry limeade.

Blue Bonnet Cafe & Lounge
The food was average. The ambiance was average. I had heard so many good things about this place that I tried it with a friend as my husband said I wouldn't like it. It looks much better from the outside than it is on the inside. I suppose it's an old neighborhood hangout. Nothing special in my book .... but always worth a try.

My margarita was not so good and when I noticed the bartender was squirting them out of a soda gun like a soft drink, I just about s%@t! You could throw a monkey back there to do that.

I used to frequent this place when i lived in the neighborhood. Being back in Denver recently, I stopped in for a little nostalgia. What a mistake!

If you like green chile.... give this place a try
I had passed this restaurant 1000 times going from the downtown area to I-25. Now I wish I would have stopped there sooner. The pitcher of Golden Margaritas was excellent, and very reasonably priced.

If it wasn't for the entertainment value I received from this mediocre meal, I would be disappointed. The enchiladas I ordered were so lacking in substance, literally, that it was almost funny.

Not as great (or as bad) as some say
I've lived in Denver for over 10 years - the Blue Bonnet has been a staple for decent Mexican food since the first day I arrived. I've had good experiences as well as poor.

The menu - typical Burritos, tacos, enchiladas,...

My experience @ the Blue Bonnet was not good. The food was average and when the waitress told me that the Patron margarita I ordered was really not made with Patron tequilla, that did it for me. Apparently, the margaritas are pre-mixed with a basic house tequilla and then they add the call tequilla to the house mixture. The bottom line is, when you order a premium margarita, you actually get a m...

The Blue Bonnet has outlived its Reputation!
Since 1995 I have been sampling a wide variety of Mexican & TexMex Restaurants in Denver. The BB is known for it's award winning Mexican food, but those awards are from years gone by. I have had Burritos at the BB with a cold center and have never been thrilled about any meal I have eaten there. Las Delicious is far better for the eating experience!

This is an old place in Denver, and you will get that feeling when you get there. Food is very average, not very pleasant on the presentation, and the cheese they use is like plastic.

With all the choices for good Mexican Cuisine in Denver why anyone would choose The Bonnet ...

They are not La Fiesta, not like the now closed Don Quixote, not like Chubby's Inc, not like the other metro area Mexican restaurants where your digestive system needs a day to recover. I love it that way, but the ones I go with don't appreciate the trauma. The food is consistently good,but mild. Service is excellent. Drinks are ok, but reasonable. A good value overall.

The Best!
The chicken chili rellenos, salsa, and margaritas are the best I've ever tasted. Blue Bonnet is my baseline for other mexican restaurants. I've been going there for at least 15 years.

HANG IT UP
The drinks are the only thing that is good in this establishment. The food is white mexican food, the green chili tastes like stokes green chili from a can.

very comfortable
I went there with a male friend just recently and had a great time. It was the first time I had been there since I moved away from Denver. I was with a fine man and good food and margaritas, what more good anyone ask for. Their green chile is almost as good as mine and that is a plus all on it's own.

Blue Bonnet's Got it
Blue bonnet is one of the best Mexican resturants in the denver metro area. The salsa is great and the environment is swell

Speedy and observant!
The best feature is the extreme attentiveness - you'll never be low on drinks or chips and the food comes out within minutes!

No VELVEETA here...
I love this place! I'm surprised by the negative reviews. This isn't Morton's by any means. But, it is great food, no velveeta, lots of real cheese, the shredded beef burrito is awesome no fat pieces in it. (this coming from a pretty picky eater) Great margaritas, good service. 80% of my outings there are followed up by one of the owners coming personally to the table to see how everything is. Yo...

Such a waste...
This restaurant has all the atmosphere of my middle school cafeteria - almost. In all fairness to the staff we were seated promptly and attended to nicely. We've read good things about the food. Only we couldn't stay long enough to eat. The tables and chairs appear to be rejects from local flea markets. I'm usually game to prop up a table leg... but when the chairs feel rickety, well, that's just...

canned beans and velveeta
The worst food in the city. Some people seem to love this place but I can't figure why. If your into canned beans and velveet then this is the place for you. I believe you win a prize if you can find an actual piece of meat on your plate.
