“I just ordered some Asada tacos ? for the 1st time and Oooh myyyy - I’m 50 years old and these are the best tacos I’ve ever had!! And service was Great also!! A+ in my books!“

“Stopped for dinner after we arrived in Denver. Ordered 2 margaritas, a skinny and a mangonada. Both were large portions and tasty. For dinner we ordered shrimp and tacos and vegetable fajitas. The vegetables were very fresh and plentiful. The shrimp tacos were delicious. Ended our meal with fried ice cream, which had a nice strawberry fruit coating. Overall the atmosphere was nice and the staff was very friendly and accommodating. The chips and salsa were bottomless.“

“La Comida es excellente y el servicio es espectacular“

“I had Taco Tuesday here and was glad I came to check it out. 2.50 tacos, 4 to 5 big bites each, good salsa bar, counter order they deliver to your number. They came out in 4 or 5 minutes. Overall a winner and I highly recommend making a trip.“

“Best tacos in a 500 mile radius“

“First time being here, didnt know it existed! Was nice was here for a friend's birthday! Only down fall was when I went to pay for my drink young man was clearly irritated I was going to use cash! Body language face expression. I politely told the girl I can pay with card. Other than that great atmosphere family friendly! Would go back when not so crowded.“

“Food slaps, try the Lengua Gordita too fire“

“Food was ready for pickup on time (even though the two employees were incredibly busy), and the breakfast burrito was toasted, which I loved! Hot isn’t very hot though, so if you’re into spicy, get the fuego. I’ll be back to try it soon!“

“Ecxelente servicio al cliente. la comida es de muy buena calidad“

“My husband and I love this place! The shredded beef burritos are excellent and we always get them smothered in green chili and the green chili is fabulous! The owners are a husband and wife team and they are always very happy to see us and come by and let us know that they are happy to see us. Also, the margaritas are great. We recommend coming here and we will be back!“

“We stopped here for some seafood and LOVED it. We got six oysters preparados as our appetizer and the sharable molcajete en salsa verde as our dinner, and it was perfect for the two of us. Everything tasted bright and fresh, and the green salsa was a great balance to the seafood. You need to eat here!“

“Super friendly people. Ordered Chile Relleno plate. Crispy version (I enjoy both styles) and these were perfect. Restaurant is clean and bright. Restroom was clean and bright. Forgot to take a before picture but you can see I destroyed it. I didn’t lick the plate clean—small victory for me. I’ll be back.“

“Service was fast. And very friendly.“

“We came here after a passport appointment after seeing all the amazing reviews. It did not disappoint! Tacos were delicious with all the fixings, the green chili was very good. Excellent guacamole, fresh and flavorful. The staff are so friendly and the service is attentive - our food came out so fast but clearly freshly made. We will definitely be back!“

“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!“

“Excelente servicio y atencion“

“One of the BEST CARNITAS BURRITO I have ever had. Of all the taco trucks in the area, this one is the best. Fresh Pico, great tasting beans and pork, crispy tortilla and really big. Only $9 too! I love me some taco truck and this one is Tops. I'll definitely keep coming back for more super good 🌯 burritos.“

“Family taco plate was perfect for a young family. My toddler, known for running on fumes, actually had seconds. The baby demolished her frijoles, and Momma got a warm, filling meal. AND we have leftovers!
The churros were delightful too“

“SUPER RICA LA COMIDA TODO MUY DELICIOSO EN ESPECIAL EL CAFÉ DE OLLA Y LAS TORTILLAS HECHAS A MANO, LA ESPERA ES UN POCO LARGA, PERO VALE LA PENA Y SE ENTIENDE PORQUE TODA LA COMIDA ES PREPARADA EN ESE MOMENTO ? RECOMENDADO“

“Jr and his father do a great job running the restruant they are a very humble family operated business they treat the employees very well the vibe upon entering is amazing everyone immediately greets you and welcomes you inside JR is a real true leader does so much work to keep the quality of ingredients top notch and always makes sures everything is great“

“Completely stumbled into this place, was actually on the hunt for the food truck just beyond the store. What an awesome mistake. You walk in and turn left for amazing authentic Mexican food. We don't speak Spanish, but the staff was really awesome with us. We had the asada tacos, chili relleno burrito and asada burrito. Everything on point, delicious. Wish this place was closer to the springs but if you are at the soccer and baseball park across the road and have a ravenous teenager after a match, this is the place to go!!“

“I've been eating at this restaurant for many years and, believe it or not, I've never had a bad meal...ever. It is packed 7 days a week and there's a reason why. Beyond the great variety of food with breakfast all day (139 menu items {not including 29 drink}). the help is absolutely incredible. You can tell they love the manager, Carlos, because they function as one big family. I'm 72 and have eaten, through my career, in countless restaurants in numberous cities and for the money (quite reasonable) this is my #1 favorite of them all (including many 5 star, exclusive restaurants. You won't find Beef Wellington, Duck à l’Orange,, Lobster Thermidor, Seafood Paella, Foie Gras., or Caviar on their menu, however; Escargot if you love real scratch Mexican/American cooking“

“The burritos are delicious and so are the tacos al pastor. I'll be back to try more!“

“Super delicious traditional food done right! ✅“

“I had the chicken chimichonga with everything and it was delicious. The chicken had a great char and the green chili wasn't too spicy. The hot sauce is very spicy and delicious, with a great smoky character.

This is a great hole in the wall that is worth checking out. We will be going back.“

“By far the best Carnitas in the Metro Denver area! The owner Don Antonio is a really nice as well. Highly recommend, these carnitas are finger licking good! 🤤“

“Excellent grocery store and taqueria with spectacular customer service. I’m not a Spanish speaker, however the staff was able to help me bulk order Al Pastor and cook and dice it for an event. It was so yummy. Support local and minority owned businesses. They have the best vibes.“

“Fire 🔥 everything is delicious“

“Beautiful decor great food.“

“Todos los platillos que ordenamos estuvieron deliciosos especialmente el mango aguachile y la señora Hilda nos atendió muy bien muy amable y cordial al recomendado 100%“

“The asada for the tacos was tender, juicy, and flavorful. I'm very particular about asada, and this place impressed the heck out of me. Y'all should definitely check it out when you're in Aurora, CO.“

“We're visiting from Seattle and were looking forward to good Mexican food. This restaurant was just a couple of miles from our hotel so I went to order lunch and take it back. Very friendly staff (patient, too, I'm one of those pains who asks for all kind of adjustments). Got back to the hotel and dug into our lunch. I had a chimichanga meal and husband had enchilada meal. Wonderful food! Best Mexican food we've had since we left California in 2009.“

“Excelente servicio de George en aurora“

“Best Carne Asada anywhere!“

“💯 x 💯 recomendados muy bien servicio y buenos pollos 🐥“

“So freaking delicious I wish I didn't live far and could go all the time. Shrimp tacos were 💯, the simple chicken bean burrito was the best I've ever had probably? So flavorful & great prices, only wish I knew for sure when to find it here!“

“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.“

“We love the food and great service“

“Always freshly made and always greeted with a smile.“

“I come here about twice a week. Don’t get me wrong, I try plenty of other taco trucks, but this one stands out. I always get the barbacoa tacos. Even though they’re not the sticky style I’m used to, they absolutely hit the spot. The portions are perfect, they don’t short you, and the prices are great. Perfect heat on the salsas, and the cilantro sauce makes everything go together. Finally, the tortillas! They make them right. Heaven.“

“Great local spot! Foods always hot n fresh!“

“We had our volunteer appreciation luncheon catered by Guadalajara Buffet and everyone loved it! They really came through for Vaughn Elementary School!😋“

“I am on a business trip and walked from my hotel. I had intended to go to Texas Roadhouse, but the entrance to Ajuaa! was very inviting. It portrays a classy ambience. My Margarita was enormous but well-deserved after dealing with construction and rush-hour traffic in the Denver area. My server was awesome. My Margarita was incredible! Dinner (Carne Asado) was delicious! The music and atmosphere were authentic. Definitely a thumbs-up from this customer!“

“Do not eat here if you don't like seasoned food. This is not for the boiled chicken crowd. The best, hand down, chicken in the city. There are no scraps left on these bones. The tortillas are amazing, the rice is flavorful, the melon juice is spot on. No complaints at all.“

“Good food and good service.“
