Food was ok, it's "modern Mexican food" so it's whatever. I enjoyed it more not thinking of it as Mexican food, good light meals as well. Great cocktails and atmosphere, we will definitely be back. Yes, the reviews with the same pictures are from me as well. My girlfriend use them for her review.

To even begin to describe all the flavors I experienced would not do this restaurant justice. Delicious!!! I've never heard of a place having bottomless micheladas for brunch and was a little anxious to try it here. Yes, I'm picky but that's because I feel like I've had the best! Hands down, they make this like your abuelo used to before your abuelita saved him from the streets. I'm sure you've had chilaquiles before where there's always a big tostada on the bottom and its hard to pick up let alone fit all in your mouth. Barbed Wire Reef just changed the game with thin, long pieces of tostada that are then piled high with flavors ranging from mild to knock your socks off fire. Did I mention that they have 7 different kinds?! I asked the bartender/server/ninja Brittany who the chefs are. It was nice to put a face to these creative geniuses. Thank you Alan and Mario! I'm thankful I was able to try chilaquiles they way they're supposed to be made. I'll be back!

Very yummy! Loved trying the boar nachos, and the Chile was super good. We also had the elk burger which was cooked well! I had the drink 'take me drunk I'm home' which was very unusual but I would order it again. Totally would go back!

10/10 on everything! The food was DELICIOUS! I had a Camel burger, rattlesnake sausage, alligator taco, and kangaroo burger. They were all mind blowing good. The customer was a one and life time experience. The chef was talking to me and my fiancée and he brought out a taco for us to eat that wasn’t on the menu something he had been working on. I was blown away at the experience. Bucket list moment for me! I would fly to Denver just to eat here….. no joke!

Came for Denver Restaurant Week and was interested in how wide their variety is. We got the margarita flight, totally worth it and so beautiful! Perfect for 2 people. The octopus sauce was incredible. TRY THEIR TACOS. Amazing! Most interesting wild fish and chips I’ve had! Love the atmosphere and food truck inside!
