“Had the queso Birria tacos. They where so good! The tacos alone are great, with the consome there some of the best I've ever had! Also had a plate with chicken, steak, bacon wrapped shrimp and it was extremely good too. Pictured is birria tacos and a smothered tamale. I think you can get any food here and it will be good; However the service though good has a downside of basically everyone speaks Spanish only so we had difficulty trying to get corn tortillas for the plate and they kept bring out flour ones. Maybe they where out of corn and where trying to play it off I don't know but very small issue for how good the food is, I will definitely go back!“

“One of the last places that still brings you a round of chips and salsa on the house. Chips were good, still warm. Salsa is tangy and mild. Had the traditional chili rellenos. Rice and beans on the platter were both very good! The rellenos were flat; mostly browned egg, not much batter. I asked for the hot green chili, but it was not even the slightest bit hot or spicy. It was also on the tangy side rather than savory. I have to admit I was disappointed in my dinner. The service was excellent, however, and everyone there kept a smile on their face. The atmosphere is more Cafe style, brightly lit.“

Highly recommend the double-decker tacos! It's kind of on the pricey side for Mexican food, but it was worth it, in my opinion.Parking: Recommend parking in the back of the restaurant because it's free. They do have paid parking in the front if you can find a spot.“

“Enjoyed lunch here for the first time today. It was a great experience! The food is tasty for budget Mexican food. Our waitress, I think her name was Tish, is OUTSTANDING! We had a large party of our family (13 people) and she NEVER had us needing anything. She kept our drinks refilled, chips available and our order came out PERFECT despite many changes on many dishes! I'd highly recommend giving this restaurant a try and if you are lucky enough to get Tish, you will be greatly blessed! ?Vegetarian options: My mom is vegetarian and was able to have a plethora of options to order from. They will accommodate any dish for you and customize to what you need.Dietary restrictions: I have an allergy to MSG (monosodium glutamate). This restaurant was so kind when I emailed a couple of days before our visit to double check all of their ingredients to make sure it was safe for me to eat. I was so impressed with this customer service! Also happy to report that nothing (except for their tamales of which they couldn't confirm ingredients in) on their menu has msg in it! Also speaks volumes to them using quality ingredients!Parking: Large parking lot with ample parking space.Kid-friendliness: They accommodate children and their needs. They have kids meals, high-chairs and booster seats. They are super friendly and kind to kids.Wheelchair accessibility: My mom recently had ankle surgery and was in a wheelchair. We were easily able to get her in and out of the restaurant and they had perfect seating for her too.“

My husband had never had a taco salad like this before but he really enjoyed it. Among the many gluten free options, I got the street tacos with grilled chicken. The portions were amazing for the price! We'll be visiting again soon for their breakfast menu!“

“Probably the Mexican food that I've had in a long time!I had the cheese quesadilla which comes with avocado, jalapenos, lettuce, tomatoes, and sour cream. So tasty and cooked perfectly. Be sure to try each of their four sauces- so flavorful and each is pretty different from rest. Will definitely be back again. And again.“

“I decided to check it out based on a 5280 mag review for best breakfast burritos in Denver. Nice little place in a strip mall. Fast service and pleasant people. In terms of the burrito, I got a breakfast with bacon. The tortilla was very good. The burrito itself was very potato forward which may or may not be your jam. They dice the bacon which I like. The burrito was very dry though. You'd want to be ready with sauce/salsa. Flavor was tasty. I wouldn't make a special trip there again, but would hit it up if in the area.“

“We came on a Wednesday when they have a live Mariachi band! The owner came out and sung about a love lost. We had skinny margaritas that were perfect. As a confession, I actually hate avocados. This guacamole was so good, I thought I was going to eat it until I died. I had the menudo with the bolillo and my god. This was one of the best bowls I've ever had. They were even able to satisfy a vegan request my partner had. The only problem we had was how easy it was for us to get a table. Why isn't this place packed all the time? 10/10 will come here every chance I get!Also buy the the band a drink!“

“I stopped by here on a whim. If it is your first time going, keep your eyes pealed. It's one of those hole in the wall gems. And I think I found my new place for tacos. The al pastor meat is delicious and really hits the spot. Esteban was very accommodating and a pleasure to have dealt with. I love the salsa bar. It gives you the ultimate control over the flavors of your tacos. If you don't like cilantro, guess what? You don't have to have it on your taco. And let me take a minute to talk about the portion sizes. My daughter got a burrito that was bigger than her face. Food has a great base heat level, but with the variety of salsas, there is a heat level for everyone.“

“Señor Burritos is a neighborhood gem. Not only does Miguel serve up fresh food to order, but the menu includes some specialty items like the chicharrones burrito that you can't find in many other places.If you grew up in Colorado, the South West, you love hole-in-the-wall Mexican food (you know the vibe) and are looking for that comfort food with authenticity and decades of family history, here's your spot.I'm still exploring the menu, and will have to check out the sister location - literally Miguel's sister on 1st and Broadway - to see what's best across this family owned and operated business.With restaurants coming and going, Señor Burritos has survived the test of time for a reason!“
