But, not in the breakfast burrito. $8.67 total out the door. It's at least a 1.25lbs of burrito. Plenty until dinner. I will be back but ask about it being smothered.“

“This place deserves its flowers. I usually call in ahead of time place my order because the line can get very long due to its popularity during lunchtime. I’ve recommended this place to family members and friends when I first tried it 10+ years ago & it became a staple of their cravings as well. The quality of everything is still amazing, the salsa bar is unmatched, & the prices are still very affordable compared to many other taco trucks/places. My personal favorites are the Barbacoa Sopes, pastor tacos, & the asada quesadilla. You can’t go wrong with anything here, everything will have you wanting more! Specifically this Tacos Selene & La Calle Taqueria off of Alameda & Tejon, & Tacos Sarabia off 56th & Joliet are the best tacos you’ll find in the Denver metro area. (Coming from someone who’s tried at least 40+ taco spots lol)“

“I have never reviewed a restaurant before because I’m super picky and prefer staying quiet as everyone’s tastes buds are different. I will say we aren’t food critics, we are just people who enjoy really good food.

But we came here to dine in the other day for the first time and it was amazing! The service was top tier, the lady behind the counter was friendly and patient with us. We would come back just for her!

The restaurant is super clean and cozy. Now onto the food - we ordered 2 bottle sodas, tacos, a tamale and a steak burrito. Wow just wow! The salsa was fresh and I loved that you can use as much as you wanted. We have gone to many Mexican establishments, but this one blew us out of the water. We have finally found our go-to spot!

We enjoyed our dine in experience and food so much that we ordered delivery the next day and ordered the same items but with more volume! We can’t wait to go back to try more items!“

“I like Mexican food but I’m not a huge fan of green chiles (I know, I know, get out of CO). Something about the flavor has always been kind of nauseating to me. But my husband’s favorite Mexican dish is a chile rellano, and he convinced me to try the one from here and OH SWEET MOTHER MARY… it is like biting into divinity. The texture is spot on. The flavor is spot on. There’s heat but not so much heat that it covers up the seasonings in the dish and ruins the meal for you. The sauce is lovely and the food always makes me do a happy wiggle. You know the one. Like when you bite into really good sushi. That one. The “this meal is worth the calories and after I eat I’m gonna fall onto the couch in sedated food coma bliss” one. So get in here and support a fantastic restaurant!“

“Look for the lush blue and green farmland panorama juxtaposing out from the questionable pedestrians hunch shuffling across the rutted sidewalks along Colfax, the deep historical pride of Denver. Here you will experience Mexican food hope located floating in the parking lot of a very vibrant tire repair place where it appears you can just drive up and they will jack up your car very quickly replacing one or four tires with not necessarily matching ones. Eat while getting fresh rubber!

On my first visit, I went for breakfast and got the b/fast burrito but instead of the default chorizo it comes with, I asked for carne asada (steak) as chorizo is one of those questionable intestinal meat delicacies that is a coin toss whether I will feel OK or if my stomach will be processing or rejecting the cursed tastiness for the next many hours/days.

I ordered it smothered which came with a solid green chili and I asked for a jalapeño as well which came out nice and roasted which slowly melted and lasted like a spicy green jalapeño jolly rancher in my mouth — sweet and spicy. Olé! The friendly ladies only gave me a red sauce, so I recommend asking for the verde (green) also as both are classically done with a medium kick.

My burro was slathered in a thick layer of Oaxaca cheese, which IYKYK. If you don’t, this is the Mexican version of mozzarella, but I swear they have the Italians beat. It is creamy and buttery and just plain delicious as it lovingly oozes across your tongue into your soul.

The beans were clearly freshly made, and the carne asada was seasoned perfectly. Overall, I enjoyed this burrito so much I only ate half of it to save the rest for later, and I’m a voracious eater. I paid $15 for this plus a Lipton tea, which was almost frozen like a slushy. So unexpected and so Mario’s Tacos!

I might not recommend this place for you ladies at night without some confident guards at your sides or at least be jujitsu-trained and packing with a heightened awareness for the unexpected. Totally worth it!“

“Let me start by saying that being Mexican, I’ve head great tamales. I bought one of each first and tried them in the car before committing. These tamales were the closest I’ve found so far to authentic Mexican tamales. Starting with the size. You’re good with 2. The filling is generous and very tasty. red and pork tamales spice was on point. Mom like rajas although it was literally one pepper in the middle of the tamal (I suggest cutting them so it’s uniform) the green with chicken (usually my favorite) were ok. The masa is good. Not too thick, not too lard-y (shinny masa), could be a tad fluffier just need to mix a bit more. Price a bit in the higher side at $22 a dz but it’s a business and they’re good in size. The ONLY thing is that they’re not fully cooked. Maybe because it was the holiday season and they were rushed. I bought them while they were still hot, cooked them for another hour on low and they came out good. The staff was friendly the establishment left little to the imagination. It’s a pick up your tamales and go type of place. I’ll go back in hopes the quality is consistent.“

“These are without a doubt, the best tacos in the area, the women here treats me like her grandson and the food is just like in Mexico. If you have ever had authentic tacos, these are the closest youll find. The quesabirrias and the pastor/ asada tacos are incredible. Ice cold Jumex, what more could you ask for“
