“This authentic taco shop is a hidden gem! The vibrant flavors and fresh ingredients make each taco a taste sensation. From the perfectly seasoned meats to the fresh tortillas, every detail is a testament to their commitment to authenticity making it a must-try for taco enthusiasts.“
“This is a new concept inside Freedom Street Social from CHOPPED-winning chef Oscar Padilla, who also operates Gaucho Parrilla. Chef Oscar’s food is always fantastic and that’s true of everything I’ve tried at Chulo Taco so far — the tacos, which are the perfect size for snacking on a bunch of them, the birria grilled cheese (wow!!), and a quesadilla that is quite literally the size of a pizza — get that one to share.“
“Monterrey House is one of my wife and I favorite places to have some of the best Mexican food. Service is very kind and they are on their game. The restaurant is spotless as it has always been. They have been around for about 75 years. They have been in Arvada since 1995. They have never changed the food. I will always recommended Monterrey House over any other Mexican restaurant. 10 out 10! I have eaten there for years and will continue to do so“
“Great food, Love the 2 new baja taco choices! Service use to be great, but now they are almost always seriously understaffed. 1 person to run front of house in busy olde town just doesn't cut it. Been an issue I've seen at this location for at leat 8 months now. The staff is awesome doing their best with the little help they have.“
“By far the best restaurant in Denver. From the moment you walk in you're welcomed by an incredibly well trained front of house staff, while the open concept kitchen and intimate atmosphere allow the kitchen staff and Chef Michael to interact with the guests in a completely unpretentious manner, creating an all encompassing experience from start to finish. Each dish is beautifully composed and thoughtful, some may call it 'tweezer' food, but this tweezer food has heart, has soul. It's modern and innovative but taste like comfort, invites you to savor each bite and leaves you wanting for the next. While the food is memorable on it's own, the cocktail and wine pairings are not to be ignored, both options are incredible, and listening to the artists that pick and craft these libations explain their thought process is akin to listening a storyteller around a fire, immersive and brilliant. An absolute experience from start to finish that I'm always honored to be apart of.“
“I honestly am so excited we decided to walk into this bar the vibes are great and the service was amazing I had the 5 cheese pizza and I absolutely loved it I ate the whole thing alone ? the manager/bartender/server Martina was great made me laugh and was quick with the service if you decide to come here you will not regret it“
“Establishing my daughter in Denver today. We found this place in her new neighborhood and scored a win for her first lunch in her new home. She got the tika chicken tacos and I got the mushroom tacos. Loved them both. The only odd thing is that they added a 20% tip automatically for a party of two. Too bad they were so forceful, I would have tipped more.“
“Super inviting staff & the food was amazing. Fresh tortillas, fresh veggies and amazing meat. The machete taco was straight ?. The Birria was amazing as well. Last but not least was the Horchata, It was off the chain with the hint of coconut. A must try!!Parking: Must try!“
“Everything about this spot is phenomenal. Have tried all the tacos now and each has been top notch. Fresh chips, solid guac/queso. Tasty dranks and their happy hour goes longer/later than most. Service has been extremely friendly and quick at the bar each time.“
“Got to VIB in Denver last night. Stopped up to McDevitt Taco Supply roof top restaurant and bar. Happy hour was in progress. Sampled 4 different tacos. All excellent bursts of flavor. And the MTS staff and owners are excellent. This is what a first class experience is supposed to be.“
“This place is such a hidden gem! Local food trucked parked next to Applejack’s. The staff is always very friendly and the food is great. Our usual go to is the quesabirrias tacos and breakfast burritos in the morning. The birria and consome is the best we’ve had in CO and for $13 you can’t go wrong. 10/10 recommend.“
“The food is sooo good and worth the mild wait in line. They are busy for a great reason. My aunt and I ordered taco plates. I got all chicken and my aunt got 2 pork and 1 beef taco. The birria dip was included. We also had our own margarita flights which were amazing and it was only $20. We sat at the bar which was really cute. There's also a little patio attached to the bar! Only got pics of the food because I was in a hurry.“
“Stumbled upon Mestiza for lunch and it was the best decision ever! Food was actually authentic Mexican food and so delicious!! Beer was great too. Happy to say we’ll definitely be coming back and will continue to support this business as everything was great!“
“We had our first date here and had to come back! You can order from your phone which makes the service quick and easy. Never felt pressure from our servers. Margaritas are flavorful and the tacos have a great variety. When in Denver, give it a try!“
“I cannot express how happy I am that this delicious spot popped up 1/2 mile from my house. :) We have been there twice in three days! The food is outstanding and the service is exceptional! I highly recommend stopping by and checking them out.“
“Amazing trash can nachos and pork belly chicharrón with fresh smashed Guac that go perfectly with all the specialty drinks they have. The Margarita flight was awesome. Overall a pretty chill spot with great Vibes and cool atmosphere. Can’t wait to go back once the weather gets nicer the patio and brunch menu looks like it would be a hit.“
Donut Shops • $
“I have searched high and low for a good donut shop in Colorado. They all suck. They are heavy, greasy, dry or gooey, old and tired...except this one! Fantastic FRESH Old Fashioned donut. Moist and tender crumb, not too heavy. The best donut since moving to Colorado 26 years ago. No donuts sitting until the next day being sold as fresh. No skeevy oil. Clean, cute, good assortment. This place is legit, and I will keep returning. I hope this place never goes out of business, because they are hands down the best donuts in Colorado.“
“Stopped in for a weekday lunch. The service was great, even thru shift change. Not hard to look at either; think 'local Hooters / Twin Peaks' alternative. Friendly, attentive & competent. Flirty but not risqué. Go support independent business, lol! If you & your S.O. would be comfortable @ Hooters, you would be here too.The menu is varied; seems to me to be kinda Mexican themed, but with lots of other options - chicken, fish, salads, Italian, even a couple French items. It's a step up from fundamental bar food, and I liked it. The portions are generous, and served quickly. The drinks are tasty. Fair pours; I wouldn't call them heavy-handed tho.Two of us were there for about 3 hours; had apps, lunch, a couple rounds of drinks, and at least two entrees to go. Came to little over $100/ea with tip. Pretty dang reasonable, considering all the food we ordered.I'll definitely go back ... pretty chill place to relax.Enjoy!“
“It's hard to overstate how important this truck is to me. I make plans with my friends, they ask me to bring them to Tacos Pachuco. When I go to a gas station, I take out cash just so I have it on hand for Tacos Pachuco. I come about once a week, and the entire time I've been doing it, Tacos Pachuco has delivered exactly what I am craving, every single time. The service is as fast as it needs to be. The atmosphere is a parking lot on Washington. The staff are friendly, the food is second to none. I would travel miles for these tacos, and in the future I probably will. Thank you for the food, Tacos Pachuco.“
“All the love for this place. I've only eaten here twice but I usually struggle to get restaurants to follow my allergy note. They however nailed it on the first try with no question. Staff was incredibly friendly and the cooks in the back were dancing and singing making for a great overall energy. I've been recommending this to everyone and I know I'm headed back soon“
“Best service ever!!!!.....I was craving a chicken tostada which is not on the menu, the owner went above and beyond and made me 2 chicken tostadas, they were so good. They should definitely add it to the menu. Thank you Huequito for going the extra mile to make your customers happy!!!...Beat Food Ever!!!!“
“Muy buenos y buen precio!!Parking: Múltiple parkings and they sell tacos as well. They have a lot of space, usually they have seating but not when it’s cold.Kid-friendliness: She’s the best veryyyy talkitive so friendly. This lady is amazing! I had a good time talking to the lady.Wheelchair accessibility: It’s in a parking lot so you can access the area easily“
“We popped in for a quick bite and everything was DELICIOUS! Sam was awesome and provided us with excellent recommendations. I tried the queso and it was great, my 7 year old will definately eat it next time we visit. We love to try Brussel sprouts when we try new restaurants and these were THE BEST! Will absolutely recommend and will be back 1000%Thanks so much Sam!“
“The food here is genuinely incredible! I had the chicken taquitos which sit in puréed beans and queso topped with crema, cotija cheese, pico, lettuce and pickled onions. The queso is DELICIOUS! The flavor combo was perfect and the service and staff were great. We will definitely be back for more!“
“I wouldn't call these tacos made as much as curated. The owner has pride and makes sure each taco is well made. We had the vegan and chicken tacos and were impressed.... I don't often follow food trucks but I will be following this one!Vegetarian options: He asked before adding cheese to the vegan. Thanks!“
“I like the food here the pretzels with cheese are yummy as well as the nachos. Only critique of this place is the hostesses never know when happy hour is. The last two times I went the hostess said happy hour was over before the time that was reflected on the website. Then I ask my waiter and they say it’s still happy hour. Super weird but this has happened the last two times idk if they’re trying to save a buck or what“
“Great taco spot. Happy hour and brunch available too. I normally just get some tacos, so I went for the chicken burrito and tacos instead. Their Pork Pastor taco with the habenero pineapple and Carnitas taco will be your favorites. I think I'll just stick to getting tacos though. This location has indoor and outdoors seating. I highly recommend getting the Chile De Arbol salsa too, it's got a great spice to it. One of my favorite out to eat spicy salsas that's actually kinda spicy.Parking: 2 hr only street parking available too“
“Little food truck with great tacos and burritos. Extremely great value. Because of its popularity and small cart, expect to spend some time waiting. Last time the wait from getting in line to receiving food was 40 minutes. If you are ok with waiting, can’t beat it!“
“I’ve been coming to this establishment before they even opened. I was in there today for lunch and had my usual Enchilada plate. Not sure who was the cook today but wow… the Mexican potatoes were seasoned perfectly. Loved them!! In fact, all their food is good, and the staff is always friendly and helpful. I highly recommend Fuzzy’s in Thornton on north Washington. Dave“
“Absolutely tasty. I dropped by here because I was working across the street. Grabbed a carne asada burrito which came with a side of tomatillo sauce.While I waited (what had to be two minutes) I was given two barbacoa tacos to try. Both were great (the "red" meat tasted better to me).The burrito was significantly smaller than I would have imagined (maybe my only complaint). It comes with peppers and beans. I opted for no beans which might have contributed to its thinness. But it was still very tasty and only cost me $10.If I had anything to say, I would say to throw some white rice into the burrito to give it more substance. The taste was absolutely great and my mouth is still tingling from the heat after about 15 minutes.Other reviews mentioned the cleanliness of the truck... they weren't wrong. The truck was incredibly clean inside and out. Staff were very friendly. I'll be back even if I have to drive out of my way.“
“Sonny's Tacos is a great place for quick, fresh Mexican cuisine! My partner and I come here frequently for their nachos, burritos and shrimp tacos. Casey mans the bar and is extremely friendly, kind and has been with Sonny's since they opened back in 2021. If you're lucky you will catch the owner Ernesto! Ernesto has a background in fine dining. The simple yet high quality flavors at Sonny's are his creations and you will not be disappointed. As for the environment, it is a bar like feel with open seating and room for groups up to 10 people. Today (as most times we visit), were as followed for bites: Grilled Chicken Burrito Grilled Shrimp Tacos Side of Homemade Tortilla Chips Great location for meeting friends and family in the downtown Denver Metro Area!“
“The food here is absolutely delicious! Make sure to get the birria tacos with the cheese and consumme at least once, life changing. The parking lot of a head shop on a busy road isn't my favorite dining location, but it is well worth it for anything and everything from this place.“
“I really enjoyed the carne asada tacos and carne asada torta. It was fresh and flavorful. There's a large parking lot in the back. The lady taking the order was nice and spoke English. The service was pretty quick. I was there on an early Saturday so it was quiet and chill when I went. Would go back if I'm ever in the area.“
“A dive among dives. Came here for karaoke on Friday (they do karaoke every night, Weds-Sun per their signs). We got there early to grab a table (karaoke started at 9). Drinks are strong and cheap. I think our drinks were like...$6 or $7 each. The tables all have leather-y rolly chairs which are comfortable, but the wheels don't quite fit between/next to the table legs, so you're frequently kind of sticking out from your table and almost hitting people near you. But still comfy chairs. Karaoke started promptly at 9 with the host singing the first tune to get things started. The other host takes your name/song title and was very friendly. They have a list of who's up next on the screen so you can keep an eye out, but they also announce when it's your turn. Music is not painfully loud and the microphone was not screeching like it sometimes does at other places. Had a fun time there with some friends, but I would only go there for karaoke. It wouldn't necessarily be my vibe for just 'hanging' out on another night.“
“Found this place while I was out doing door dash. The only disappointment I have is that I didn't find this place sooner. The tacos are packed with meat and flavor at a reasonable price. I recommend ordering the pastor and asada tacos ? .“
“Got the Quesabirrias... it's a HUGE! I should have gotten half since it was only me. There are four big tacos. Very tasty! A little pricier than I expected but it will make 2-3 meals for me!!Parking: The food "trailer-truck"is parked in another business' lot. They do have a plastic table and chairs if you don't want to wrestle the food in you vehicle.“
“We have been coming here for years and really enjoy it, but on this past Friday we had Montserrat as our server and she was amazing! The most attentive server we've ever had and made us feel important and special. These days it's hard because of staffing issues, but she went above and beyond to make this a spectacular experience! Thank you Montserrat! We'll be back and will request you!“
“A very great place with great food, generous portions, and patient service. Speak some English but spanish proffered.Vegetarian options: My dad's avoiding meat and they put something together for him.Kid-friendliness: No alcohol or loud obnoxious TVs and friendly service.“
“Always bringing the love w them tacos <3 Gotta love mi gente. If u haven't been here you're missing out! This spots been a staple for this neighborhood a longtimee. They're always making to sure everybody's satisfied. Gracias por todo!“
“This was a drag brunch with Felony Misdemeanor. Lively entertainment. I had 2 mimosas and the bartender gave me 3 small glasses of each fruit juice (orange, pineapple and grapefruit) that I could pour in the glass of Cava Brut prosecco to create my mimosa. The pineapple juice was best for my 2nd mimosa. I followed OpenTable recommendation and I the Chilaquiles. Nice spicy Rojo sauce with queso and crema. I added a side of bacon and a Mexican hot chocolate. A great meal.“
“Definitely a solid, consistent place for fast but quality Mexican food. Everything is made to order so it might take a little longer than a normal drive through but honestly that's why I go here. Love both the Asada Tacos and Lakewood Burrito.“
“AMAZING! I just cannot get over how delicious & amazing this food truck is. And they have camarone tacos?!?! Not many do & it’s delicious!! I love that they give you cucumbers, asada, & lime on the side too! I will definitely be back. Thank you for the delicious food! Made my week :)“
“I was visiting Denver recently and I stumbled upon this taco spot and I’m so glad I did! I ordered the quesobarria which is new to the menu! I loveeeeed it!!! The flavors were bold and fresh! The staff was nice and friendly and they were fast and efficient! I wished I lived here just to get their food on a regular! I definitely recommend it’s so good!!“
“It's easy to know why this place is so highly rated---give it a try. I was traveling through the area and stopped in. It's not fancy at all, but the food was fantastic. I ordered the Plato de Flautas de Pollo, which I highly recommend! In addition to the outstanding food, they also have an extensive salsa bar. Food was great, service was fast and staff was friendly!“
“Good food. Fairly fast. Liked Gordita and smothered burrito alot. Fair to average price.Vegetarian options: Yes they substituted meat for Beans.Parking: Lots of parking around the side of the building.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, wheelchair parking. Flat parking lot“
“Fabulous brunch. Super fresh guac and delicious queso. Crunch wrap, Caesar salad, and Birria Tacos also a hit at our table. Perfect spicy bloody mary. Honestly, the food was wonderful but the star of the show was the friendly staff and speedy service. Everyone we encountered was kind and accommodating. I hope to go back next time I'm in Denver!“
“My husband threw a surprise 40th birthday here and it was so much fun. The atmosphere was great, the drinks were amazing, and the tacos were delicious. The staff went above and beyond to make the day special. The ice shots were probably my favorite though!“
“We had E Hijole catered for a company event for breakfast and lunch with about 50 people. Elena was great with communication during the planning process, and made great recommendations for the group, including all types of dietary restrictions. Their team showed up right on time to set up both meals, and they were friendly and professional. Our attendees raved about the tacos, and absolutely loved the sauces that accompanied them. We will definitely use E Hijole again, thank you Elena!“
“This is a fantastic new restaurant with new Mexican flavors. This was our first time here and everything was delicious and unique. The service was great and the restaurant has bright dia de los muertos decor. We had a variety of tapas and delish sopapillas. We'll definitely be back!“
“This has to be one of the best taco places in Colorado, and you can’t beat 99 cent tacos on Tuesdays! Don’t forget to add your own toppings before heading out, too! The pastor is INCREDIBLE and the tortillas are so fresh. 12/10 recommend this place!“
