Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

Came here for Dinner last night, was so glad this place was still here. It was opened in 1970. The food was as good as it was when the restaurant first opened. I had a beef and bean burrito. It was the perfect size. The green chili was not too over spiced, and I was given the right amount. As for the ambience it was not loud, but it was weird to hear Country music playing in a Mexican Food Restaurant. The tables were clean, but this place is out dated terribly. We had duck tape holding our booth seat together, the decorations, carpet and chairs all need to be replaced as they are old and or falling apart. Our waitress was great, she came back every time she had seen we were getting low on our drinks, offered more chips and salsa. The staff is very friendly, very inviting. If you are looking for great Mexican food, this is your place. I just wish the restaurant was more modernized and updated. I feel they would do much more business. I will be back with my Family as this is a great place to eat!!!

Yes, this location/building is a bit odd, but it's the original location. And after many Armadillo locations have closed, this one is still going. Lucky for me, this is conveniently on my drive between Denver and Greeley on 85. After a long day in the Greeley office, I can stop in and have a bite, or just grab some delicious food to-go to devour when I finally make it back home. Over my many years of frequenting Armadillo restaurants, I've learned that the food can be hit or miss. But there are certain things that are always delicious. You really can't go wrong with the chili con queso. It is the standard that I hold all other quesos to. And, I'll typically get a pint of it with chips to take home. Yes, I'm addicted! The crispy chili rellenos are also usually very good. And, their soups are quite good too - my favorite being the chicken & rice one.

Like most of the other reviewers, I've been patronizing The Armadillo since way back when -- the early 80s? I give them a 3, partly because of the local historical significance of the restaurant. The La Salle location is, I believe, the original. In its heyday, it was quite the awesome Mexican restaurant in Northern Colorado. Now its more faded glory than anything. They still make really good margaritas. The food is good but not outstanding, prices decent, service is fair, but the atmosphere is more faded ghost town than Mexican Cantina. It's not the same, but it still echoes the old Armadillo. I think the one in Fort Collins is likely a preferred location - I haven't been there in a while, but they're bigger, busier, and a little more hip and trendy. The La Salle location needs to revitalize - they could really re-establish themselves and ride the wave of economic growth the oil industry will bring. Will they? I wish they would.

Had dinner here last night while over near Greeley. Pleasantly surprised at how good this place was as we have not eaten at an Armadillo for years. Service was excellent, food was very good on most everything we had. Would rate this place 5 stars but the price for a soda ($2.60) seemed way high and the chips seemed a little old tasting to me. Also the green chile on my burrito was pretty skimpy for the price. Overall good and we would return here again in the future.

This is one of my favorite Mexican restaurants. I like their fajitas and chicken salad. They had THE best ever salsa until they started adding cilantro. So disappointed they changed it! Consequently, we don't go as often. It seems the vile weed is showing up strongly in all nearby restaurants. Maybe they added it to conserve salsa?...hmmmmm...

Are you kidding me!?!?!?!? This is the Armadillo. When I went to college in Greeley in 1974, we would go there for special dinners. We had our dorm reunion their the other night and had a blast. Food was okay, but, the memories are great. Not worth driving out of the way for. If you know what I mean.

Do not eat here! Food was average at best, service was poor, many dirty tables and this was on a Thursday might when they weren't busy. The worst part of this sorry meal was they added an additional charge to my credit card. When I pointed this out to their manager, she said on four occasions she would make it right and never did. I can see why the other Armadillos have closed!

This location is a bit funky for The Armadillo restaurant chain in such a small town. The reason being? This is the original location. The place is kind of in a older wooden building by the train tracks but inside it is your usual Armadillo restaurant. Overall the food tastes about the same as any other location. Sometimes I get a craving and want to go to the Armadillo. The food is ok but not super authentic. This place is considerably better than the Farmer's Inn also in La Salle. The Farmers Inn has really funky tasting burritos (its in the meat) like they just came out of a medicine cabinet. Eeeeewwwwww!

wow what to say. I have been coming here for almost 25 years. this is the first inthe chair the original and it shows the food is better here most the time then any other store. the salsa is top notch and the food is amazing. they do have there off times were the food takes a dip in quality due to the produce they have to buy during different seasons which is why i gave a 4 instead of a 5. if the food doesnt taste to good wait tell fall then give it a try.
