“Vanessa & Juanita were so absolutely amazing while I had a layover on my flight and my friends hadn’t already left. They made sure I was well taken care of as a person that doesn’t travel often and made me feel very comfortable and gave me the best tips. Absolutely amazing & nothing bad to say about these two lovely ladies 🫶🏻“

El Chingon Mexican • $
Denver International Airport, Terminal B near Gate 12, 8900 Peña Blvd, Denver - 8.82 miles

“The carnitas was a little more like chile verde due to the tomatillo salsa on it, but it was phenomenal none the less. Carnitas plate was just meat /sauce and a tortilla, but it was a good amount of food. 1000% better experience than Elway's ripoff burger!

Update: recently ate here again and the tomatillo salsa was served on the side, so more like actual carnitas.“

“This place is a hidden gem. Little taco truck in a dirt lot near a construction trailer. Been in biz for 7 years so they must be doing something right. Ordered carne asada and al pastor tacos - order of four = $12. Having lived in SoCal I’m a little picky about my tacos. Happy to say this place hit the spot! Wife was impressed as well. Will be going back“
