“My fiance brought me here after a Google search and it's some of the best Mexican food we can get in Denver. Plus it is really affordable so we are able to leave a bigger tip. Our son loved it too. Only complaint is salsa was very very spicy for our taste but it's still delicious, so I don't mind at all! Gonna come back here a lot from now on! It was super busy and they are open until 10pm, we went around 7:30pm.Vegetarian options: Vegetarian options available for several menu itemsKid-friendliness: Kid friendly“

“friendly staff and fair pricing. tacos aren’t gonna be $1/$2 when they have such fresh ingredients. i tried the steak and the chicken and both were grilled fresh with plenty of seasonings. really enjoyed all the tacos and for 6 tacos and a drink i was all in $25.00. really fresh toppings that make the flavors pop out.i have yet to try a quesadilla or a burrito so at this time i would highly recommend the tacos!“

The chicharron burritos were delicious, good beans make or break that dish and they did not disappoint! The service was quick, attentive and came with a smile, which is sadly rare enough that it's noticeable when it actually happens. Will 100% come back any time I'm in the area.“
