Alfonso's Mexican Food

Alfonso's is probably the top authentic Mexican food you can get in Colorado Springs, like 1/2 notch above Monica's Taco (which is also excellent). Now what does authentic mean? Not texmex. For that see Hacienda Colorado or Chuy's. Not hipster. For that try Torchys on the north side. All of those other restaurants listed are great, but are also not authentic. Had to be said. Lol Just order a burrito of choice, green and red sauce and you're welcome. I was noticing people ordering obscure items and complaining about it not being what they were imagining. Stick to the basics and you cannot go wrong, and use the sauces, it should be a requirement to eat there.** If the sauces are too much spice for you, maybe stick with Taco Bell, or whatever they serve at Golden Corral from now on sport. I love their breakfast and lunch/dinner burritos. They have other items that are great too, but those burritos keep me coming back when I'm over on that side of town off highway 24. Give it a go if you're the type of person that actually likes the real deal Mexican food.

Food is Arizona inspired. They're take on a California burrito was tasty. Pico was grilled which was good but made it taste more like a fajita. Meat was tender. Taquitos were excellent and quesadilla was basic. I'm usually a green hot sauce fan, their's is decent. However, their red hot sauce was amazing.

I enjoyed this place. Denver has its own Mexican style that I can’t find in Colorado Springs but this was almost it and not the same kind of “Taco Star” Mexican food. $32 and my whole family ate. Quick service, even with a full drive through. 3 drinks were $1.50. I order the chili relleno and crunchy taco. It was great.

Oh my goodness! Just tried Alfonso's and the flavors are so delicious. Had the taco salad. Perfect! The bowl was light and crispy, unlike other taco shell bowls that are too hard. The shredded beef, beans and peppers were fantastic! Hubby had a burrito combo and thoroughly enjoyed it! Treat yourself to this great little place.
