Great place, especially during happy hour! Careful with the spicy margaritas, they can be pretty spicy!

Great patio with great food. Really enjoyed the taco salad with pork and black beans and the burrah egg rolls.

Friendly staff, pretty quick service. Tried the queso appetizer which was good, nothing amazing, but was fine. Ordered the birria taco and al pastor. They were flavorful but a bit too wet. The meat had a ton of juice in it still, which isn't necessarily bad, but since it's a single corn tortilla, once you take a bit a ton of moisture pours out and the tortillas start falling apart. Would have preferred they drained the meat a bit before putting on the tortillas (if that makes sense). The house marg was fine, pretty standard. Overall not a bad spot, but nothing amazing to go out of your way for either. Parking can be a little challenging in the evening, might need to park a block down the street.

I love it here. Gabby, Lisa, Joel and Dayna are the best. They always give me the best served cold cans of Modelo. It never disappoints. I highly recommend the wings here, but everything on the menu is great.

I feel we may have had new staff and servers this time at Cochino Taco, as there were mistakes that I don't remember from our first visit. Spilling water on me and then not cleaning it up from the menu and table is pretty bad, though. I feel the flavors and textures were all over the place too. The standard beef taco was very bland, not even meeting expectations found in a fast food order. The veggie taco was extremely salty, and the more interesting sounding items on the menu (la lengua, pork ears, etc.) also had a lack of flavor that could have lended to the cultural uniqueness of the dishes. The tongue was nicely tender and the freshly crisped shells we delightful. Attention was paid to presentation, and that was another highlight for us.

Solid choice for some affordable TexMexy grub. It's nowhere near authentic Mexican, more like an elevated Taco Bell, but bomb nonetheless. The micheladas are awesome though. And the happy hour menu is one of the biggest bangs for your buck in Denver. Good service too, family friendly, but can get really busy on the weekends.

This place was unfortunately disappointing. My main gripe is that the service was VERY slow, I'm talking 20 to 40 minutes between visits from the server. We were there for an hour and 20 minutes and we didn't get food till the 40 minutes mark. It was just me and my girlfriend and we only got 4 tacos between the two of us. I would be understanding if the restaurant was packed, but there was only 8 parties in the whole place and there was 4 servers, every time I would look around for our waiter they were just standing around. Our tacos got to our table mostly cold, the al pastor was flavorful but the meat was dry and tough, the pork belly was basically flavorless, cold, and tough. The carnitas we're great though, which is the only reason they are getting a two star instead of one. The atmosphere is great I will say, clean facilities and a very nice vibe to the place. Prices are mostly reasonable, but after being there for an hour and 20 minutes and still leaving hungry and unsatisfied I don't think I will be back.

I’ve eaten here twice and I’m not really that impressed with it. The atmosphere is great and the drinks are wonderful. The food is just mid if I’m gonna be honest. However, on a Friday night it seems like a really great place to hang out and have a few drinks
I actually love this place, just want to be on one of their shirts.
Lol, I changed it. Would make for a good shirt though...

The most classic happy hour spot in Englewood. You can’t beat their happy hour margarita prices. The frozen Paloma is my favorite and they don’t skip out on the alcohol like a lot of places. Perfect balance of sweet and strong. Their service is fine, nothing bad, but their servers never seem happy unfortunately. The food does the job, nothing spectacular but just what you need to pair with a strong drink.
Excellent
