The best Mexican food I have had in Colorado. I recommend the enchiladas! They are perfectly spicy and filling. The Alley also has good happy hour deals.

This is one of my favorite weekend spots (or even for a HH on a weeknight). All of the food is great - my favorites are the quesadillas with carnitas added, chile rellenos, and the flautas.   The house margarita with a grand marnier float is my drink. The salt rim mix is unique and really refreshing. They also have live bands regularly and no cover charge, which is really nice to catch randomly! More...

Love the Alley. Here on Sunday funday. Bottomless Mimosas with awesome juice options. Orange. Prickly pear, cranberry, and so much more. Awesome food and staff. Come on down listen to LIVE music!  So for the a**hats that said the place was terrible and the owner was mean....should you look in the mirror?  Did you come in loaded? Were they responsible and refused to serve you?  We've been here and have received nothing but awesome service, drinks and food. Don't let the few make a decision for you. Come on down to a local spot! More...

In this day in age when so many people strive for mediocrity, the staff and owners of The Alley go out of their way to make this establishment exceptional. They arrive long before they open to make sure everything is perfect for their customer experience. The Food Truck cranks out some of the best guac, street tacos and one of a kind rellenos. They have fresh (not the frozen machine) made margs in a half dozen flavors and a fantastic line up of live music. Do not miss Float Like A Buffalo or the Delta Sonics! Thank you Russ, Sarah, Mary, Kendall, and Aaron for always making this one of the iconic experiences of our super cool downtown! It's a Great Life! Wade Perry More...

Hey! I just wanted to make a shout out to the Alley! I've been a costumer for a few years. I can't explain how much I appreciate this place. Not only do they have amazing service, but they make me feel like family. I'm always Welcome. Mary always has the best advice on drinks, and even when I'm picky she will make me something great off the menu. Aaron is so personable and compassionate about his job, and always makes me come back. Russ is an amazing guy that runs an incredible team and Sean is a fantastic manager, always willing to help and tough on the tables. On top of it all the atmosphere and live music they provide makes for a place I want to be every week. The food is great. Service is great. Couldn't ask for more! Thank you ALLEY for being a staple of Littleton!!! More...

Such an amazing happy hour here and the service is always great. Buy one get one drinks paired with some half off appetizers are such a great deal not to mention they give you a raincheck card if you don't get your second drink. Food is really good to and i love the fact that they cook it in a food truck. Haven't even mentioned the $10 all you can eat taco bar they have during weekdays from 11-3pm definitely check this place out. More...

Great for margaritas and live music. My biggest complaint is that every time I have eaten here and ordered something that is supposed to be warm, my food has been served cold. The nachos were actually cold not even kind of warm. I asked them to re make them which they did, but they were still not hot :( not sure if that's because the kitchen is out in a food truck?

First time at the Alley, this place is always packed and sometimes they have live music.  Bar atmosphere, lots of bar style tables, small, not a lot of room, parking is a challenge, but the vibe and the mexican food is worth the trip and worth the wait!  All food is made in their food truck out back, small plate style...pretty amazing how fast they can turn out food!  The queso and chips and their house margarita is a win all the way around and even for the pocketbook!  The chicken fajitas and chili rellenos were another table favorite!  Dont be shy, give this place in Old Town Littleton a try....customer service is fantastic!  The only reason 4 out of 5 stars is parking and wait time for a table...

Enjoyed the experience. Very friendly knowledgeable staff, thru them I tried a shot of pickle infused vodka. Have had some awful shots of this in the past but this one was a good one. Get the salted rim (as suggested).  The food is prepared in an on-site non moving(?) food truck out back. The staff takes your order and then the wonderful mexican food is brought to you. Went on a Friday, got the $4 off Friday chicken fajitas and marveled at how perfect the meal was. Carmelized onion, red bell pepper and green chili strips with marinated chicken breast, 4 med tortillas, cheese, sour cream, guac, and pico. Perfect lunch. Snowy day, cozy clean interior brick atmosphere. Def go again. (Its also a stone's throw from Jake's Brew Bar with 36 rotating taps). Everyone is a winner. More...

My husband and I have been coming for the amazing happy hour since we moved to Littleton, so I decided it would be the perfect spot for his surprise 30th birthday! I emailed two months before about a group reservation and Jen was nothing but helpful and accommodating. I checked in a week before and she offered the tent in the back for our party because no one was using it. It ended up being an absolutely perfect venue - our servers were incredible and so patient with our group of 28 ordering drinks and food on many different tickets. And everyone commented on how great the food was. Thank you so much for your hospitality. We love The Alley! More...

Solid Mexican in downtown Littleton.The server Mary was the bartender and was as friendly as could be. When I asked for a michelada she recommended a Tommyknockers chile beer that was great with the tomato juice and salt rim (a bit different than some traditional mucheladas but oh so drinkable) The menu is smallish but plenty of choices. We started with the chips and salsa trio. The verde was the hottest of the three we chose but not so hot its inedible. The mango was light and fresh and we paid $2 extra to have queso as our third choice. Definitely enough for 4 people and they refilled our chips once so we could get all the salsa in.For entree I went with the rellenos which are listed as an appetizer. They come two to an order and are rectangle fried goodness. The chile and cheese inside is very satisfying. I made it a meal by adding two sides. The only thing I wasn't impressed with were the sides. The green chile had heat but was watery (may have been better if smothered on a burrito) the rice was just ok and corn was decent but needed a little salt or seasoning to make it pop.We did opt for dessert and both the churros and soppapillas were good. You could choose one and that would feed 4-6 people.If you're in downtown Littleton and want good Mexican check out the Alley. More...

My colleague and I stopped by this place after we left the chocolate therapist class. It was a Tuesday night and I had looked up earlier that day that this place had open mic. For a Tuesday night this place was pretty full. They different artists play and it was tasteful. We both each had a drink there before heading out for the night. The place is casual but also very nice to have a date night. Didn't get to try any food. Service was good and bartender was good too. I'm glad we decided to drop in. I definitely liked the atmosphere and the vibe there as well as enjoying open mic. I definitely want to come through again to try their menu and stay for whatever else they may have going. Thanks for a great 1st drop in. More...

A BIG THANKS to The Alley Crew! A long but detailed post of our experience (from someone who never takes the time to post)I was looking for a great, and casual venue to plan my best friend's 50th birthday party (for about 30+ guests). The Alley had exactly what I was looking for: Great atmosphere, service, food, and entertainment!From the beginning of our experience, everything was "top notch".  My husband and I stopped in one Saturday to look around the restaurant and see if was a place that would work for the party. We were welcomed by Kris, who walked us through the banquet menu of reasonably priced appetizers (chili rellenos, pork/chick quesadillas, chips/guacamole/sour cream/salsa). She offered to block off the back of the restaurant for our private use. (On a side note:  I was told, The Alley is currently in the process of constructing a banquet room for these type of events). This was followed up with an agreement via email the next day, outlining the total cost of appetizers. We decided on a cash/credit bar. We were asked to put down a 1/3 deposit for the food in advance. 3 days before the event, I contacted Russ (the Manager/Owner) a bit nervous, as I forgot to send in the deposit. Once again, I was so pleased with the response I received. "No problem. We have you on the calendar, and look forward to seeing you on Saturday".  When we arrived to take care of the payment, we were told there was a slight error in the contract price, and it was a little less than anticipated. What company/restaurant does something like that these days.The day of the party, we had some cold/icy weather. Russ contacted me directly to see if the party was still on, and asked how we would like the back of the restaurant set up; Tables to sit down or tall tables for guests to stand and enjoy the finger food. We opted for option two for guests to be able to mingle but still have a place to put down their drinks/plates. He also let me know there would be enough extra food, if we needed to add to the order.The party went off "without a hitch". The service was fantastic! The food was good, set up in warmers on a small buffet table right before the guests started to arrive. Russ even brought out an extra table for the cake at our request). The wait staff was excellent and extremely attentive and polite (thank you Aaron and staff - My apologies for not recalling all of your names)To top off the party, we thoroughly enjoyed the live music! If you haven't seen "John Weeks" band, I highly recommend them ! The lead singer even thanked us for moving up to the front of the restaurant, as the crowd began to thin out at the end of the night.As mentioned above, I don't usually post reviews, but hope my information assists "The Alley" to continue with their success! If you are looking for a friendly staff, great service, and a fun venue to grab a drink, have a bite to eat, or to host a gathering, you won't be disappointed! The only thing missing from making it the perfect evening was the patio (but with 20 degree weather, we couldn't complain) But next week, I was told the back patio/porch will be covered. In the Spring/Summer, "The Alley" will be a great place to hang out during Happy  Hour or to enjoy a nice evening, relaxing by the fire pit.We will be back! Thanks again for helping us make this a fun and enjoyable 50th for Kathryn! Kind regards,Lynn & Larry More...

This establishment is easy to review: in a busy, Friday night milieu, the service was very good despite the dinner rush, the server was knowledgeable about the menu, and the food arrived hot and prettily presented in a reasonable timeframe. The style is distinctly a riff on standard Mexican fare with a bit of "fusion" with other styles, but it's made clear in the menu that this cuisine takes a nonstandard route to your tastebuds.We were seated on the patio in front of the brick-and-mortar storefront. The band coming in for the live show at eight PM started setting up at seven and were between the patio and the dining room proper. Despite this seeming bottleneck, the service staff was unaffected and made repeated trips to our isolated tables to check on patron satisfaction, take followup orders, refill beverages, and keep us from feeling excluded. I don't know that it would be standard for all the bookings, but the band members were cheerful and friendly, apologetic for encroaching on our space, and happily willing to chat with us as they completed their setup.The prices are not in the cheap category, but the inventive preparations and attractive presentation, coupled with the good service, qualify this little bistro for a place on our list of regular eateries.

So glad Yelp led us to this place! I was originally planning on bringing the fam to another Downtown Lakewood place for dinner, but everyone was more in the mood for Mexican.  Enter the Alley.  Fast, friendly service, delicious and perfectly portioned food!  They cook everything in the food truck out back (yup, in the alley) and have tables inside and out on a back patio.  Enchiladas, the burro, tacos, and nachos were all great!  My almost- mother-in-law even approved of their green chili (and THAT is saying something!)  Portions are smaller than other places, but leave a person very satisfied without being stuffed.  We'll definitely be back!

Went last night,  love the decor, they have a food truck out back.  They have lots of seating and they had a band last night, that was really fun.   The place was rocking but it turns out they do not know how to make margaritas.  I think they added water instead of tequila, very disappointing.  I think most places now it's safe to drink beer and wine.  They do have some fun pictures and history on the wall so it is definitely worth a visit.  I WOULD go back.

I'm a little confused about the purpose of this restaurant.  It's probably the only cool thing in Littleton. It's a bar but they cook the food in a truck outside but still call themselves a restaurant.  I assume this is a way to get around certain building codes?They're a cocktail bar?  We didn't order cocktails because it was like 6:00 on a Wednesday and they were expensive (around $10-$12). They had some cool variations on originals but again, expensive. We ordered some chips & salsa.  The salsas & hot sauces were the star of the show.  The pico was good and flavorful and the seasonal was tasty.  The hot sauces were good and hot too!The tacos were pretty decent. A bit expensive for your basic street tacos.  They were good but nothing brain busting.  They had a bunch of other menu options but we stuck with tacos for the evening.  The service was good but seemed weird to have 1 poor guy running from the truck out back to the dining room.  What do they do if its raining?We had an excellent server and $3 PBRs.  We'll mostly likely come back to try other entrees.  Upshot, we'll probably come back because it's close and quick and the food hits the spot when you want a spicy taco and a cheap beer.
