Nearly 40 Years of Homemade Mexican in Commerce City
La Casa Del Rey has been feeding Commerce City since 1986 — same family, same recipes, same warm welcome every time you walk through the door.
La Casa Del Rey | Our Story
How It Started in 1986
In 1986, one family opened their doors in Commerce City with a simple idea: cook honest Mexican food from scratch and treat every guest like a neighbor. Nearly four decades later, that's still the whole plan.
The Green Chile That Started a Following
Grandma Atencio's green chile recipe is the heart of everything here — available mild to extra-hot, and award-winning at every heat level. Order the extra-hot once and you'll understand why people keep coming back.
A Space Worth Coming Back To
From the iconic red-and-turquoise building to the cactus arch wall and the patio fountain, this is a space worth lingering in. Gilly's Cantina adds a full bar with daily specials and frozen margaritas.
Commerce City Knows Us by Name
Generations of families have celebrated birthdays, first dates, and ordinary Tuesdays here — and the staff remembers them. 303 Magazine called us Commerce City's enduring family-owned gem.
Still Made to Order, Every Day
Every plate is still made fresh, every batch of green chile is still homemade, and every guest gets the same care as day one. Catering, a food truck, and merch are all part of it now — but the food is still the whole point.
