Little hole in the wall spot. Quesa birra tacos are good but the bean and cheese burrito is what has me coming back. So good. Definitely recommend.

Stumbling upon this restaurant one lunch hour has been a game-changer. Now, it's my weekly ritual! This spot is truly a hidden gem, delivering authentic flavors that are hard to find elsewhere. The salsas are spicy and absolutely addictive, adding the perfect kick to every dish.

While I haven’t tried everything on the menu yet (that's the goal!), I keep coming back to my current favorite: the corn quesadilla with asada (steak). It's always deliciously fresh and full of flavor. I also can’t leave without a cold Jamaica agua fresca (hibiscus tea) — it’s the perfect refreshment. If you're after genuine flavors and an unforgettable experience, don't miss this place!

Vegetarian options: Try the cactus tacos and the flor de calabazas (squash blossom) quesadilla!

Parking: Next to the 711 by the highway exit on Iliff and i225

Items I got weren't bad. They just didn't have much flavor for birria and a burrito.

One of the best Mexican restaurants in the Denver Metro area. There are a variety of house-made salsas to pair with your food which is lovely.

I got the Machete - half suadero, half asada. Asada was just okay, but paired well with the salsas. The suadero was excellent, I will definitely be trying some suadero tacos next time I come in, as well as some other proteins.

I had a machete with huitlacoche and adobada. It was all good! The adobada could use a little more flavor, but it was fine because the tortilla was so amazing it more than made up for the adobada.

Food is overpriced and bland. Tacos very small had three types. (Chicken steak beef )Not one of them had flavor. Even tried my wife's queso birria tacos, which also lacked flavor of any sort. We both left very unhappy.

I can truly say this restaurant is doing ? gods work. You won't find more authentic birria this side of the Mississippi and the parsely ? guac is from an alien planet. Excellent excellent excellent ??

I always get the breakfast burrito with ham and OMG! It is bomb! I get a "guacasalsa" on the side that has the perfect kick of spice with some nutiness to it. I am curious to try their chilaquiles. I'm from Northern Mexico but I'm a lover of Southern Mexican and this place definitely has that southern yuminess. 10/10

Denver has a bad scene for tacos. This place is one of the very few that do it right with authentic recipes. Delicious and savory. I got sopes and asada tacos. Their tortillas aren't under cooked and cooked or overcooked and hard to chew. My new go to spot. Glad I got here before they blew up with big lines.
