“First taco bell experience, and it didn't disappoint. I got a doritos locos taco and a soft taco with chicken instead of beef, and they were both delicious. The chicken soft taco was the BEST chicken taco I've ever had, and the doritos taco was the second best, maybe even the best taco I've even had, maybe behind Casa Caliente. Definitely worth the price.“

“Best Mexican food in Colorado, and some of the most friendliest people“

“Love the “Special” Margaritas!“

“I honestly go here about once a week and have been forgetting to leave a review. I'm obsessed with the breakfast burritos, and can attest that the tacos and chicken burritos are also amazing. The food is great quality, has amazing flavor, and leaves me feeling great! Good quantity for the price. Also try the agua frescas! The watermelon is my favorite!“

“Best tacos and tortas in town!!!“

“Always delicious. Always fresh. Everything I have eaten here has been amazing!“

“Another great visit to Cencalli! The new trio dip - queso, beans and guacamole, with chips and their signature salsas - delicious. Also tried the posole flight… red, white and green, loved all 3. Great burrito and margaritas too. We took home a red and green tamale. They were delicious. We plan to pre-order them for the holidays!“

“Everything is the bomb, my favorite Mexican truck“

“We went as a family and I can’t recommend Colima enough! Delicious, authentic food, kind, efficient service, and great margaritas and Palomas! They were set up so that my kids were welcome and I didn’t feel self conscious that they were interrupting other guests. We will be back without the kids to sit at the bar. I am coming back for a marg and queso!“

“So my boyfriend and I went out to eat tonight and came across your restaurant. I’ll try tacos from anywhere anytime! I ordered 3 asada tacos with sides of beans & rice. Patty helped us out and for the life of me can’t remember the cooks name (Saturday night (10/11/25). This by far is one of the best taco restaurants I’ve been to in a long time and will DEFINITELY be coming back. Worth the drive from east Aurora.“

“This place has THE best machaca burritos, I’m hooked. And, if you get it on a cold day, the things serve as portable heaters! ? I don’t know how, but they stay hot forever! While you’re there, grab a bag of spicy carrots. So delicious!“

“I am very impressed with the quality and fresh food that was served. I recently moved in down the street and walked past this place the day before. It smelled amazing and I was excited, yet I've been disappointed alot by restaurants recently. My wife and I decided to go this evening and we our on here writing a review the same night. We showed up an hour before closing and we're greeted right away, drinks that were placed were brought out right away, and food right behind it. I don't write reviews so that tells you something. The green chili rellano with green chili was deep fried and the flavors popped. The Carne asada street tacos were large and came with everything on the side that you needed...so fresh. My wife also got the birria taco that we ended up sharing and we both were happier then we have been in months. Cheers to the staff and the chefs, we're truly impressed and hope others give it a try, with the experience we had it will be worth it.“

“tacos menudo muy rico todo“

“Amazing food. I Own the business next door and eat here often. Amos is a very hard working guy. Very Very clean. I see it, I know. He is there from 6am until very late at night. Has some of the best ingredients. Always willing to build a custom order and prices are very reasonable.  You will enjoy them too.“

“The breakfast burrito was huge, filling, and exactly what I was hoping for. It came packed with chorizo, egg, and potato, and every bite had plenty of flavor.

The food was great, and the service was friendly and quick. It is the kind of burrito that can easily hold you over for most of the day.

The atmosphere was clean and comfortable, though pretty basic. Nothing fancy, but everything felt well kept. I would definitely come back for another breakfast burrito“

“This is one of my favorite places to get papuses, i like them a little crispy on the outside and the curtido is delicious too. The tacos are ok. But they do have the cutest frozen margaritas that come in little martini glasses with tajine and chamoy.“

“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!“

“This is a very humble and unassuming little store front eatery. Please do not forego for this reason. Once you step inside you will be greeted by a lovely couple of ladies. One of them an elder lady who is so loving and so happy and excited you are there. I highly recommend the traditional breakfast with two eggs, refried black beans, cheese and sour cream to complement the fried plantains. This takes me to my childhood instantaneously. Eating here feels like eating at my grandmother's home sitting at a table in the kitchen, very nostalgic for me. These ladies are amazing hosts and love what they do. Stop by and tell them Jorge sent you and enjoy!“

“5* all the way! Service was incredible. Food was to die for. Every single bite. We went for restaurant week and chose from the special menu. The oysters, clam chowder, trout dip, lobster rolls, key lime pie and olive oil cake were all outstanding! Merritt, our waitress, was fantastic! They were super busy, but she nailed it! Highly recommend!“

“Velvet Taco never disappoints! No matter what creative flavor combination I try, the food is always phenomenal and hits the spot every single time. On top of the incredible menu, the excellent service is what really sets this place apar, the staff is consistently fast, friendly, and welcoming.“

“Stopped in for a breakfast burrito with my husband. We ended up trying that and a few other items. The breakfast burritos were amazing. Perfectly crisp bacon and ratio of fillings. Plus a house made tortilla was just the icing on the cake. Next we tried the quesabirria taco. Hands down best thing I’ve eaten in a while. Last thing we had was the churros. I got a dulce de leche filling and my husband got just regular churros. They were both so delicious and freshly made. Everything was just so delicious we will definitely be back again.“

“Best restaurant & service all trip. Friday night, margs delicious, music fun & food was so good... not sure why it wasn't more crowded. Sasha P was an excellent waitress. Hope to sit in her section next time. We'll be back!“

“Great atmosphere, Good Drinks, Good Food, Awesome Service. Everything is fresh and tastes great. I recommend the Street Tacos, Queso and Guacamole. Also can't go wrong with a Mango Margarita.“

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

“Ordered 4 al pastor tacos and a carne asada torta. Paid a total of $16. The torta came with shredded lettuce, white cheese and avocado. It was not good at all. The meat was flavorless. The tacos were good. They normally come with pineapple but we ordered them without. You get lime wedges, a bag of mixed onion and cilantro and a red and green sauce. I've never tasted the red sauce so I'm not sure if it's good. The green sauce is not that good and is spicy“

“Great tasting food, truly Mexican, very authentic!“

“SUPER RICO - Gringo approved. Look no further for lip smackn comida mexicana. I’ve been to Mexico and these street tacos are the best I’ve ever had in my life. Got an assortment of 4 and they were all fire. The quesabirra was off the chain too. 10 bucks for 4 tacos that make you dance is well worth the stop. Where is the Michelin star?? Go next store and buy some beers to enjoy with the meals over the foldable table. Victor (el jefe) is the man and hooked it up. Going back asap.“

“What an experience! She was super sweet and even hooked us up with an agua fresca. Where she is stationed has games for the kids to play. she also travels for events. If you see Rosita's, don't just pass by, stop and say hi!“

“We love Cochino Taco and visit 1–3 times a week — so choosing it for our wedding reception felt natural, and it could not have been more perfect. From Sean’s warm leadership to every staff member’s thoughtful attention, the team handled every detail with professionalism and heart. The food is consistently outstanding — vibrant flavors, beautiful presentation, and dishes our guests are still raving about. The atmosphere is lively yet intimate, and the staff made the evening flow effortlessly. If you want exceptional food and service that feels like family, book Cochino Taco — we couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate.“

“la comida y el anviente y las bebidas y el serbisio“

“Excelente comida y atención. pronto voy por las margaritas“

“awesome people n awesome food good for the money“

“We loved torchys when we lived in Texas and now on vacation years later we meet again in Colorado ❤️“

“We had a large group with a bunch of kids (baseball team and their parents + siblings) and sat outside. It was a nice area with Cornhole, though seating was picnic tables that have seen better days. There is no server for the outside area, so had to go inside to order at the bar, which sometimes seemed short staffed and had to wait a while to get service, but at least they brought our food out to us. Some of our food sat in the window too long and fries were cold by the time they got to us, but the burger was decent, especially for $3! Overall, I would not avoid going back, but won't rush to do so.“

“The cook immediately greeted me with a good morning, asked me what he could get staryed for me. I got 2 tacos. Man sized portions y'all. 2 tacos and 2 hot sauces in the bag easily weighed over 2 pounds.
The tacos were hot, fresh, and completed in the same amount of time it took me to prepare my cup of coffee.
Staff was prompt, attentive, pleasurable, and CLEAN.
This was around 6:30am, it's not exactly slow, he was slinging food out of that window and feeding customers just as fast as people were ordering them.
The man needs a tip jar, I insisted on leaving a tip although no jar is present.“

“Rene, thank you for making welcoming me with a smile and being so happy to serve me. I asked for a chicken tatermelt and you made that HAPPEN.
Thank you for making my day. I hope you see this!
And to her boss, give that sweet lady a raise!“
