Tino's Kitchen — Restaurant in Colorado

A Delightful Twist of Fate at Tino's Kitchen

My dining experience began with an unfortunate turn of events at Snooze. Upon our arrival, we were met with a rather unpleasant encounter with the hostess. Her demeanor was less than welcoming, and to add insult to injury, we were informed of an excessively long wait for a table. This was far from the relaxed brunch experience we were hoping for.

Disheartened yet determined, we decided to change course and venture into Tino's Kitchen instead. This decision turned out to be a blessing in disguise. We were greeted warmly and seated immediately, a stark contrast to our earlier encounter.

The star of the show at Tino's was undoubtedly the food. The Huevos Rancheros were exceptional, easily the best I've had in recent memory. The flavors were bold, fresh, and perfectly balanced. Each bite was a testament to the skill and dedication of the kitchen staff.

But the food was only half of the wonderful experience at Tino's. The hospitality was equally commendable. The staff was attentive, friendly, and genuinely invested in ensuring we had a memorable dining experience.

To top it all off, as we were finishing our meal at Tino's, I received a text message from Snooze informing us that our table would be ready in another 30 minutes to an hour. This only reaffirmed our belief that we made the right decision by coming to Tino's Kitchen.

I can't recommend Tino's Kitchen enough. Its combination of superb food and outstanding hospitality make it a must-visit destination for any food lover. If you're planning a brunch outing, skip the long waits and questionable service elsewhere, and head straight to Tino's. You certainly...

10/10 stars, score of 100% from Hope. I came here with family for my birthday very skeptical. Why would I go to some new place for my own birthday. No regrets, the opposite, I will certainly be returning. Totally worth the 30 mile drive.

Interior is lovely, there was front row parking, and we were seated promptly. Our server Jordan was amazing! Bubbly, funny, and very helpful.

The menu is large with quite the variety. Spinach artichoke dip, is always a safe easy choice. Except this was possibly the best I've ever had, came out fast with toasty pita bread and chips. The cocktail menu had all the staple drinks and then some really interesting flavored ones. I got the Tinos marg which was definitely a step above any average margarita. My boyfriend got a pineapple habanero one which must have been good because he finished it twice as fast as I did mine. The side salads were fresh and light just like a good salad should be My parents split the steak gorgonzola which was a plenty generous portion, I'm not a huge steak fan but it was cooked great and the flavor of the sauce on the noodles rich creamy and literally to die for. I got crunchy fish tacos. Omg. Comes with two medium tacos that are loaded the fish had a perfect crunch and whatever sauce was on there... I would put on any thing. Came with tasty rice and black beans that they some how actually made look pretty.

My only problem with the food all being so good came at the end of the meal when Jordan tempted us with the desserts, which happened to literally be each person at the tables favorites lava cake, carrot cake, sopapillas. Shoulda...

Wow, bad wow!

I had high hopes for Tino's after looking at photos and reading reviews. But sadly, almost nothing was positive about this place. Where to begin?... 1) There were uncleared tables with food on them when we walked in -that were still there when we left. 2) The outer bread on the club sandwich was nearly impossible to bite through it was so hard; however the inner bread was soggy -didn't finish it. The Caesar salad was mostly bitter yellow ends of the lettuce -didn't finish it. 3) We were one of only two occupied tables when we arrived (at 7pm) and the ONLY table when we left, however the service was slow and inattentive. We had no utensils, had to ask for refills, had to wait FOR A LONG TIME for our check, etc. Never once were we asked how the food tasted, so we never got a chance to express our opinions. 4) Our bill for 2 people with no adult drinks was $54.00. At this cost point, I can do much better at MANY different places!

2 stars for food quality because the bean dip appetizer was (the only thing) that was tasty -YUM!.

1 star for service because, well, see above.

2 stars for atmosphere. The place LOOKS nice both inside and out, but the leftover food on the tables -especially the one on the patio with flies buzzing around- killed all hopes of any more stars in this category.

I hope this was an anomaly, but to me, this place had the air of a restaurant that was closing for good...
