La Mariposa Restaurant

This is a Mexican Restuarant across the street from the Stapleton Shopping Area. The food is just so-so. Nothing spectacular.

I would never, ever go back here. Worst food quality I've ever had in a restaurant. Stale chips, gross salsa, just nothing remarkable at all. Green chile tasted like it came out of a can. Everything tasted stale and full of preservatives. Food had no soul and nothing tasted homemade. The folks working there seemed very nice, but my entire family was just so disappointed with the quality of the food-- we are Mexican food fanatics and the food here just had no redeeming qualities. Plus, many flies inside the restaurant, and even a moth was flying around our table at 12 pm!

We eat here quite often and it consistently has great food and service. Fun atmosphere, definitely on the casual side. Large tasty margs. Chimichangas are to die for and the burritos are excellent. The only reason I don't get the 20" burrito is because I usually fill up on the chips and homemade salsa.
