For nearly 40 years, La Casa del Rey has been serving Commerce City and beyond with one mission: to feed the community like family.
Established in 1986 and built on recipes from Grandma Reynalda Atencio, this local staple has become known across Colorado for one thing above all—its award-winning green chile. Slow-cooked, rich, and packed with flavor, it’s more than a topping here—it’s the foundation of the experience.
From smothered burritos and breakfast plates to crispy fries and handmade tortillas fresh off the flat top, everything at La Casa del Rey is made with intention. It’s the kind of place where first-time visitors quickly turn into regulars—and regulars feel like VIPs every time they walk through the door.
Fan favorites include the iconic Gilly’s Burrito, named after a beloved member of the La Casa family, and Taco Tuesday, where guests can grab $2.50 tacos that have built a loyal following across the city. Pair that with daily specials, house-made chips and salsa, and a welcoming, no-frills atmosphere, and you’ll understand why this place has stood the test of time.
But La Casa del Rey isn’t just about food—it’s about legacy. It’s about showing up for the community, feeding generations, and doing things the right way for nearly four decades.
In a state that runs on green chile, this is where it’s done best.
