"Adriana's may not be the hidden gem it once was, but that's perfectly fine since the restaurant's popularity ensures it will remain in business for a long time. I visited last Thursday for lunch with my sons after hiking at Castlewood State Park. Although the parking lot was quite full, we were quickly guided to a booth. The service was prompt; we received our menus right away along with some amazing chips and salsa (seriously, the salsa is fantastic!) and our drink orders were taken quickly. Even though the place was packed, our lunch orders were taken swiftly, and I was served an ice-cold cerveza (much deserved after our hike!). Our food arrived about ten minutes later and it looked just as delicious as it tasted (the steak chimi is a must-try!). If you find yourself in Castle Rock or the Franktown area, I highly recommend checking out this restaurant. They offer outdoor seating, but we chose to sit inside where it was pleasantly cool after our 2+ hour hike; the interior is inviting and clean. One last tip: be kind to the staff, as they really work hard to take care of all the tables!"
