Las Dalias Family Mexican Restaurant, Littleton — Restaurant in Littleton

The focus of the restaurant appears to be on being inexpensive rather than providing really good food. Kitschy decor, but fits with the focus. Assuming my experience was a one-off, if you're wanting some basic Mexican at a decent price it's worth considering.

For the most part the food was ok, they use premade spice mixes and aren't doing their own flavors. Service was decent, didn't get any water refills and a bad experience with the food could have been handled better, but we weren't ignored or have our concerns dismissed.

My biggest issue was that one of the chicken dishes we had tasted really off; like they'd used really old chicken that was bad. We didn't eat it, and while we weren't asked if we wanted anything else when we complained after tasting it; we at least didn't have to request to not be charged for it after asking the server to notify the kitchen of our food safety concerns.

If it wasn't for my concerns of having been served bad chicken, it'd be a spot to consider if I'm looking for a cheap meal. However, given my concern and that there's better Mexican in the area that I'm willing to spend a bit more for, I doubt...

Fajitas are supposed to be marinated slices of skirt steak. The small bits of meat mixed in with a pile of sauteed onions and peppers were the size of jarred bacon bits.No rice accompanied the dish. Refried pinto beans - a little thick - like I'm thinking lard. No black bean options. I ordered queso dip. It was straight heated velveeta cheese. The highlight was fresh chopped jalapenos i could throw into it. It was a huge bowl instead of a small cup of queso and it was $10. At least make the gringo Rotel version if you're going to serve slop. Salsa sucked. La Victoria jarred at best. The margarita was ok. Definitely lots of mix vs fresh lime juice. Thats the only positive thing i can say. And the place is cute. Service was attentive. So disappointed. I came here because its family owned and had a high google rating. No go; no way. Head to chuys...
