Bean Bandit Mexican Restaurant
About This Spot
Stepping into Bean Bandit Mexican Restaurant in Colorado Springs feels like discovering a hidden courtyard tucked away from the everyday rush. The gentle sound of a small fountain offers a calm welcome, setting a relaxed pace for the meal ahead. The space is thoughtfully arranged to evoke the warmth of dining outdoors, with a cozy, inviting atmosphere that invites you to settle in and savor each moment.
This is a place where the hum of conversation drifts naturally, and the service moves with patient ease—even bustling family dinners feel comfortably at home here. The air carries the rich, layered scents that come from dishes crafted with care, bringing authentic Mexican and Tex-Mex flavors to the table with a sincere sense of tradition. From hearty, tender enchiladas and vivid, fresh guacamole to subtly spiced grilled meats and comforting green chile, each bite feels like a quiet celebration of familiar, soul-satisfying cooking.
Beyond the food, the experience is gently communal, a spot where both solo diners and lively groups find their rhythm. The small details — like warm sopapillas dusted with cinnamon sugar or the clink of glasses raised over a well-made margarita — lend a sense of ritual and simple joy. Whether lingering over a shared appetizer or wrapping up with a sweet fried ice cream, Bean Bandit offers more than a meal: it’s a place to pause, connect, and discover flavors that linger long after you've left the table.

It was an all around awesome experience. The ambiance was perfect from the moment you enter with the calm of the fountain. Service was fast and patient with having three boys. The food was authentic and 10 out of 10, hit home and reminded me of California. Recommend for all the fams of 5+ or even a solo meal. Will be back soon.

My husband and I have been here a few times and the service is always good. The food is consistently delicious. As an added bonus the inside is set up like you're eating outside in a small courtyard and there's even a small fountain.

Everything was good. We'll be back!! We came back and it was so yummy again!! Definitely recommend. We had the chicken and chorizo chimichangas and they were so delicious. The rice and beans with green chili and cheese was so amazing! And the margarita was the best especially for Cinco de Mayo. It really made the holiday special for us. I'll be dreaming of coming back.. LOL Consistently good, with a beautiful atmosphere and excellent service.

Some of the best Mexican food in Colorado Springs! Highly recommend getting their spicy green chili and the chicken taco on white was so good! The Mexican food was very reminiscent of Pablo Mexican food if you’re from Colorado!

Revisited after 10 years and it’s every bit as good! Love the decor, the staff and the food. Chips and salsa always fresh. Good rellano and rice also!
