AMAZING AND DELICIOUS TACOS!!! I would say it?s in the TOP 5 in Denver! I got the fish and steak taco. The fish was super crispy... outside and soft inside. The steak was not chewy and it was tender. They also have a salsa bar. I highly recommend the pickledonions and the mild avocado salsa! They completed the tacos really well. The staff members are super friendly! Cost:$3.00-4.00 per taco, depending on the meat Parking: parking is a little difficult. You have to find metered parking or park inthe streets in the neighborhood and walk over! I will definitely go back for more of these tacos. Read more
Consistently delicious and affordable! Not sure what the actual prices are because they vary depending on the taco meat. Located... near DU! Been here a few times and theres always a steady flow of people. I'm a San Diego native and these are the closest i'vefound to carne asada friends and street tacos in San Diego/TJ. The carne fries come with cheesy nacho cheese (i LOVE) and it'sextremely tasty. They have a salsa bar - the green sauce is my favorite. The mild is yummy and the hot has a smoky flavor. Theyhave caramelized onions, pickled carrots/jalapenos, and smoked jalapeños. Quick service, good food! Read more
This place is pretty solid. I really like the fish and shrimp tacos. Al pastor and lengua are good. The Carne asada isn't... terrible, but I'm not a big fan of it. Definitely coming back for more seafood dishes. Read more
I was in Denver for a quick weekend and wanted to get some good bites in. The first morning during this trip, we wanted to get... some breakfast tacos - something more on the authentic side hopefully and not like $6 for a small bland taco like so many"fancier" places are trying to be these days. I found this place and we decided to give it a shot. Parking: We had to usestreet parking here. We went fairly early in the morning, but still had to make 2 or 3 circles around the block before finding aspace to park. Nothing frustrates me more than driving all the way somewhere but not being able to go in because of parking.Fortunately we found a spot and it paid off! Ambiance: I didn't take any pictures, but the ambiance here was nice. Open layout,decent amount of seating, some green decor. Big windows at the entrance which allowed a lot of natural lighting. Nothing fancy,just a place to drop by for a meal. Food: Between two people, we ordered two breakfast tacos and five regular tacos to share. Iwas actually impressed with the portion sizes! The breakfast tacos are decently sized. The regular tacos I would say are normalsized on corn tortilla. We were both pretty stuffed by the end of the meal. What I think added authenticity and flavor to thetacos is the bar where you can grab your own salsas and toppings (pico de gallo, pickled onions, etc.), like the ones they haveat more authentic/traditional taqueria. The meats in the tacos themselves were pretty flavorful as well. Service: You justorder at the counter, grab your food when it's ready, self-serve the toppings and salsas, and toss your trash away on the wayout. Quick and simple. Overall, I'd recommend this place. I thought it was delicious, decently priced, and was pleasantlysurprised. I'm not sure how good Mexican food and tacos are in general in Denver, but I think this was a great find! Read more
One of my favorite taco/burrito places. The food is really good and the sauces are prime spicy. I adore the staff a lot as... well. Their Al pastor burrito will always hit the spot for me! Will always go back ???? Read more
Strong on portions, the burrito felt like a brick! Cool to have al pastor outside of a taco as well. Salsa bar has some really... nice variety of flavors and heat leves. Overall, the al pastor was a bit on the salty side but that didn?t stop me fromfinishing the whole thing. Glad to try it out! Read more
You order individual tacos from a large selection of meats (including tongue) or vegetarian. They are soft flour, about 4"... diameter. They have a salsa bar where you can select the kind you want. And a soda fountain for drinks. Sign states maxcapacity at 70. We were the only guests at the time. Clean, contemporary with a TV on one wall. Walking distance from the DUcampus. Friendly, clean & fast. Read more
