What an absolute hidden gem. I wish I had discovered this place when the original owners were alive, because their son and staff seem to have carried on their legacy faithfully. Fantastic family restauraunt

I’ve been coming here my whole life. This is a great family run restaurant! Although the original owners have passed away, their family is still running the place and keeping their parents’ dreams alive. Their pictures are at the front door to greet people! Food is amazing, my servers are usually super friendly, but the #1 reason to go is for the GREEN CHILI!!

I hadn’t been there in several years and won’t go back anytime soon. All beans are made with lard, my order was incorrect and we were charged extra for another chip basket and salsa. They close at 7:30, so a casual dinner with friends was hurried.

I went in before the dinner hour while my son was warming up for his baseball game. Service was very friendly. Chips & salsa were homemade & offered mild & spicy. Reading the little story of the family business is a must. I’m from Houston, Texas & always loved how family oriented my Mexican friends were. It felt like that. I chose a combo meal (#1) to try more things. While I waited a had a need for the loo & honestly, I make a point to, at all restaurants. My mom always said if they don’t care that you see a messy bathroom, imagine the kitchen that you don’t see. And it was very clean, had soap so I didn’t have to worry the employees didn’t have soap after they use the restroom, & it smelled good. I tried a bite of each thing while I was hungry because you should never try new foods unless you’re hungry. My chili relleno was soft as they should be, that’s the traditional way. My chalupa chip was home made, not that store bought garbage I usually find in “Mexican” restaurants in Colorado. The beans & rice were excellent & very much like my old neighbor from Mexico City. My waitress had worked there for 20 plus years, since she was a teen so they must treat their employees well. Any place with high turnover should tell you something. The owner even did a stop by to teasingly scold me for being on my phone & not present in the moment. He said his momma would have taken it away lol. So I highly recommend you support this sweet little local gem. Oh, & they sell coke products which is a huge plus to me lol. And not that ridiculous & gross “freestyle” machine they use at to many places now. I won’t even eat at a place that can’t mix a good fountain coke.

For those raised in the Colorado, New Mexico area, you know my claim about our taste of cuisine. This place is dead on in flavors and taste. Love the food, and service is always awesome. The original owners would be proud of their sons, consistent caring of the family business. Long live Bean Bandit.

Best and one of the oldest Mexican food restaurants in Colorado Springs. The service is always great. My family has been coming here since the 1970’s. It’s remained a family favorite for 3 generations.

The food was good, the atmosphere was lovely OUR waitress was absolutely wonderful, the only disappointment was that the manager kept passing by and talking to everyone’s table besides ours. All I wanted to tell him was how great I thought everything was… But he wouldn’t even look at us. Very sad!!
