    honestly I’m not a big fan of going downtown but this place was totally worth it, it’s very difficult to find a place that’s fits your comfort zone. With the food answered the music playing it definitely hit my taste of what I’ve been looking for not only that but the drinks were amazing and the service was great and she was overall great . It was a little loud but I did not mind it it actually made me enjoy it more . My husband and I will be returning here and very soon .

    We were visiting Denver and wanted to try some local restaurants. This one was good, but nothing special. Good prices on margaritas, though.

    We had a reservation for 7:30PM but there was only a table in the bar available for our family of 5 (which I rejected because it was so loud). We are seated 15 minutes later but it took another 20 minutes to get our drink orders in. 15 minutes later we had our drinks and could order food (just dinner, no appetizers). Took another 40 minutes for food to arrive. Waiter extremely apologetic but it was not that busy (they were woefully understaffed). Food was ok but pretty bland. It was 2 hours from the time we arrived until we left. Biggest problem is not enough staff.

    Nice hidden spot. Went there for dinner during the Parade of Lights and everywhere was packed except Diego's. Great restaurant but since it isn't at street level it was being overlooked.

    I went there twice for lunch when I was on a business trip. On the first day the service was excellent. On the second day the waiter was impatient, sarcastic, and unpleasant. Not sure what his deal was but he was rude and inconsiderate.

    Went on a busy late night. It was nearby, I was hungry but because it was late and busy I had dozed off waiting for food to arrive. The waitress was great even though they were understaffed and she was doing her best and maintained a smile!!

    Diego's is one of my theater group's "go to" places. The service is always excellent, the food is excellent, and Diego's can accommodate large groups (8+) without feeling crowded.
