DENVER (KDVR) — A beloved local Mexican restaurant that’s been open for more than 40 years is quickly turning into a small chain around the Denver metro area.
La Loma started in a small home with Grandma Mendoza and family recipes before opening its flagship store in Denver in 1981. Now, decades after opening the first restaurant, La Loma has three locations open across the metro.

In May, La Loma opened a spot in Parker, and on Thursday, only a few months after opening its second location, there’s now a third La Loma in Greenwood Village.
La Loma owners Renée Brinkerhoff and her son William Brinkerhoff Jr. opened the newest location at the Denver Tech Center, 8000 East Belleview Ave., Suite G-10 in Greenwood Village, on Thursday.
“Opening our newest La Loma in the Denver Tech Center is such a special moment for us,” Renée said. “Our team has poured endless hours, hard work and passion into bringing this location to life, and I am so proud of what we’ve created together. We can’t wait to welcome guests through our doors, share our award-winning recipes, and create new memories with them. It truly means the world to us to be a part of this community, and we are so grateful to share this new chapter.”
