Great tacos and staff !

Dez King

This may be the best food (overall) that I’ve ever had in Colorado so far, and the BEST tacos by a landslide. Whoever is making the food at this place is surpassing any and every other *good* taco spot I’ve ever tried. The steak and chicken tacos were so perfectly cooked, flavorful and juicy - not doused in hot sauce or something spicy to cover up the flavors of real food made well… This is the work of a true chef and/or someone who has many layers of knowledge on how to marinade and season Mexican food to bring out the most vibrant and delicious flavors. Nothing is greasy, the meat isn’t rubbery or overcooked or skimpy portions. Everything is just the right portion (slightly larger than street tacos, so you don’t have to order 4 to feel full and get your money’s worth, 1-2 tacos with chips and queso or guac is plenty to feel happy with). Everything was incredibly fresh as well, including everything in the tacos, salsa, guacamole, tortillas. I would eat these tacos every day if I could.

It’s a bit of a small space, but exceptionally clean. Like… spotless, in the kitchen and in the dining areas and restrooms. Service was great. Not too loud, like most places that are blasting music - which was much more pleasant to the nervous system. Always appreciate low volume, chill environment to feel relaxed. This place is a 10/10 perfection.

This was good food! The tacos are a little pricey, but roll with a combo and save. Had the Mexicana, fried chicken, and the birria taco combo with some perfectly fried potatoes. Super happy I came for my birthday! The nachos and queso were FIRE as well. I live two blocks from this place and I will be back. I gotta try everything! Thanks for the perfect service, wonderful food, and amazing vibes!

Looks more flavorful than it tastes, unfortunately. Very disappointed.

Best tacos in the neighborhood! The breakfast tacos are incredible, highly recommend the shrimp tacos too. The owners and staff are all very friendly. I've tried almost all of the drinks as well, and they're all delicious. We love Taco Uprising! :)

Thanks for the great food. The breakfast tacos are excellent. It's located in the historic Five points, very walkable to the Central Market. Family owned and very high quality for very fast service. I will definitely tell my friends and family. I will be back.
