Armadillo La Salle — Restaurant in La Salle

I’ve been going to the armadillo since I was a small child. The food is great and new ownership has definitely made some much needed changes. However, I have always ordered the same thing, a combo plate. The older woman server (who seems to be a family member or friend of the owner) is the rudest, most condescending person I’ve ever encountered. She literally argued with my cousin about him ordering tacos and was blatantly speaking down to him. It was such a bad experience we nearly left then and there. A couple months go by and I decided to just order take out in the hopes we wouldn’t have to deal with that woman, surprise surprise she is who took my order over the phone. She once again was rude, condescending and was arguing with everything I ordered. I literally order a combo plate with two bean burritos, what is there to argue about?! Seems pretty simple to me. It got to the point where I had to ask if her if she was planning on taking my order or arguing with me, because I could just hang up and take my business elsewhere, to which she quickly changed her tone. Customers should not have to deal with this type of unprofessionalism from one server. Needless to say I haven’t been back, which is saying a lot because my family growing up came here for every birthday, big event etc. Food is great & always has been, but if one person is ruining business for you I’d rethink that quickly as a business...

I love this place. As a Colorado native, I watched these fabulous restaurants disappear one by one from our wonderful state. Each time, I would drive a little farther to get my Combo #5. The salsa is literally the best chips and salsa salsa of all time. Sure, other salsas might be good at other things, but for eating chips and salsa, this one is the best. I should start buying it by the gallon or something. Is the food authentic? I don't know. It's Colorado Mexican food authentic and that's all that matters to me. I'm a #5 combo kind of Mexican food diner (also Chinese food) and this ticks all those boxes. Glorious, delcious burritos without a grain of rice inside them trying to make them bigger for pennies. Nope, beans, beef, and chicken. The crisy rellanos are also perfectly on point. Never a sour chile, never a poorly filled cheese disapoinment. I live in Denver and make up excuses to come here. Anytime my life takes me North of Highway 34, I go to Armadillo. My family sighs at me, but they always come with. Always. If you end up in this neck of the woods, go eat at Armadillo. Eat your body weight in chips and salsa, order a combo #5 and tip big....

This place is awesome 👍. Many years ago, growing up here in Colorado, my family and I used to go to this restaurant only it was the one in Arvada, and we went all the time. We made it a weekly dinner with the family night out meeting place. Finding out that this Armadillo La Salle is open and operates still under the same family is a wonderful and pleasant find😁😁 They have a wonderful selection and even have some of the same menu items from years ago... The staff and management we're on top of their game not only that they had 55 cent margaritas. End the staff didn't even mind that my family and I were there for hours... This place has great chips and salsa. Their fried ice cream is wonderful. They have plenty of parking. They are off the beaten path a little bit but definitely worth the drive if you are looking for authentic Mexican food. I would truly suggest this place if you are looking for a great place to take family, friends or business acquaintances.., This is a...
