Been here several times and this review is well overdue. The tacos are delicious and their chicharonn tacos are to die for. Highly recommended. read more

Two stars for a good mezcalita but that's it. Food is pretty terrible. No trompo for the pastor and the meat was really tough. Birria was bad too. Worst part is the fake corn tortillas they're using. They are shelf stable, filled with preservatives and they literally disintegrate when you pick them up. Two tacos and a marg was $25 btw. Service was fine. Decor was fine too. read more

Must go for tacos! Very juicy and flavorful and I love their salsa bar. Good service and lively ambiance. I came here twice while visiting. Favorite taco was the birria. Shared the papa asada.. lots of meat and potato's! read more

Great spot to stop by after a night out at the club or bar. The tacos and Mexican food are honestly a bit overpriced, but the service is quick and friendly. I loved how spacious the place is, and the sauce bar is a huge plus. They do have a potato dish, but surprisingly no French fries. Street parking and there was a parking lot near by. read more

This restaurant is walking distance from the state capitol building. There were no options on the menu with many veggies. We needed to order something gluten-free and asked if a burrito bowl could be made. They cooked up corn, zucchini bell pepper, carrots and added whole pinto beans with fresh slices of avocado. It delicious! One of the best ever ordered, and we have eaten a lot of bowls. We did not give it a 5-star rating because the chips were not what we expected; dry and too crispy. However, the Guac was delicious. read more

I've been here four or five times and have always left very satisfied. Very authentic, tacos as good as you'd get out of a truck on Federal (which is a compliment). Great sauce bar. Happy hour specials incl $2 pastor and chicken tacos from 2-6pm on weekdays. Kind of an unexpected location, but give it a try! read more

Yummalicious! good food good atmosphere good music, very nice spot in denver for mexican food. everyone was nice!

$7 for a single taco is just out landish. The protein is usually good but not at this price point. Used to come here all the time by the quality has gone down a lot. read more

I have been here once before and it was amazing! Everything we tried was on point, the service was excellent and so was the vibe. I ordered take out again last weekend...and it was just not great. The chicken taco left a lot to be desired and so did the sirloin taco. Both were flavorless honestly. The ribeye one was better but still nothing great. The salsa bar is the highlight of the meal. I will go again to try them out on site instead of to go read more

This Mexican eatery was featured on IG or TikTok (forgot where I saw it), so I thought it would be interesting to try. You order first and pay, then with your number, you find a table. You have to remember to ask for water when you order. Utensils and straws are not at the register but in the middle of the store. They have bathrooms in the back. Parking in this area is hard to find if you want a free spot. Most street parking spots are metered. It's better to Uber here and walk around. What to eat here: quesabirria with flour tortilla. You need at least two to be satisfied. The other tacos are an easy pass. The cocktail drinks look pretty and all, but they didn't taste good. This was too bad because I wanted to have a good time here. read more

We were vacationing in Denver and went out one night to the downtown area. After the lounge we came across this spot on our walk back to the car and wow I am glad we went in. First when you walk in the vibes are very lively. They even have a full bar. The person taking our order gave us great recommendations. The tacos came plain and there was a little add ons area where you could select as many toppings as you wanted. I can't remember exactly what everyone ordered but just take a look at these pics. You really couldn't go wrong with anything there. We all had a variety of items and they were all absolutely delicious. My pick and fave was the Birria taco. It was def chef's kiss! read more

I like this place. The food is good, so are the drinks, and the service has always been friendly. I've had several of the tacos, the bean bowls, and the nachos are a great value. They are a lot of food! read more

Authentic Mexican tacos - check out al pastor on Tuesday for $2 tacos it's phenomenal

I was denied access with my service dog here because she was not wearing a vest. The restaurant had a sign stating they're dog friendly, but inside they said only service animals are allowed, and when I stated that my dog is, they asked for a vest or ID, neither of which are required by ADA ordinance, and were told to leave or put the dog outside after I explained that requiring those items is unlawful. read more

I am a taco addict. I cook a ton of Mexican style tacos at home with meats and tortillas from the local meat markets, I am always getting tacos at food trucks and restaurants, long story short I really love tacos! Was excited to try this place but at the end of the meal none of us were really all that impressed. The meats didn't seem real fresh, like maybe they were just heating up the leftovers from the prior day or something. The condiment and hot sauce salsa bar was cool with lots of great toppings and choices, but the tacos themselves were just kind of blah. The cashiers was friendly, restaurant was clean, but I will hunt down a taco truck (and probably save some money) next time around. read more

Grabbed dinner with a friend here and I gotta say, it was delicious. Super casual atmosphere, but I'm sure it gets wild at night especially on a weekend. I thought it was a full sit down with server but instead you order at the counter and then it gets delivered to your table, which I liked. Tacos come with just the meat and then you head over to the salsa bar to add your favorite toppings like cilantro, onion and salsa! The esquite was 10/10 and worth a try. Mezcal was very good, and would definitely come back. read more

My wife had told me about this place and said it was pretty good so she brought me to try it out. When you walk in and place your order you are greeted by they smell of wood smoke cooking the meat which was an amazing smell! The art work around the restaurant was cool and staff was super friendly. I ordered the lengua tacos and the quesabirria, they were decent but I feel like they lacked seasoning. The quesabirria was better than the lengua which I was bummed about because I absolutely love lengua tacos they are my go to at any taco shop. The lengua here just didn't have a ton of flavor and was a little over cooked and mushy. They weren't horrible just not my favorite, maybe it was just an off day. The quesabirria had good flavor and the meat was extremely tender I'd definitely order them again. It was a little pricey for tacos I think we spent $66 on 8 tacos, which in the world of tacos that's pretty expensive. We did end up getting our car towed while inside which was a $370 bummer so word to the wise don't park in the parking lot next to the restaurant the torcheys tacos employees watch that lot like a hawk and you will have a very expensive taco dinner. All in all the restaurant was decent nothing spectacular maybe it was just an off day as my wife said they were much better the first time she came, I would like to come back and try it again and give it a second chance. read more

Just moved to the area from Phoenix so we were looking for quality Mexican food. I will say the fish taco 5/5 and I have not had birria that good that's not homemade 5/5 they also had a great salsa bar with all the fixings you could want. That being said, the chicharron lacked flavor and the quesadilla did not have enough cheese. From reading reviews I am guessing certain items will rock your world and others will leave you wanting more. I would have definitely given 5 stars if the price did not get in the way but I see why, given the area and price of food nowadays. I'll definitely be going again for the fish taco especially but maybe during happy hour. Ps I enjoyed the decor and even the restrooms had a good vibes. read more

I think this place was just fine. My mom and I stopped in for an early quick dinner and we were the only ones there. I got 2 birria tacos and a shrimp taco. My mom got a steak toastada and the calebacitas taco. To finish we just HAD to get the churros. The music was loud for my taste (especially since it was empty). A few of the light kept flickering giving me the seizure feeling and I really didn't like how the electronic menu kept roaring. If you weren't using the QR code menu on your phone it was hard to look at the menu to figure out what to order cuz it changed so quickly. The cashier also could not hear and asked us to repeat our order like 6 times. My tacos were both good! The birria was nice and juicy and the shrimp was fried, crunchy, and a lil spicy! My mom enjoyed her dishes. The churros were deliverable though! They were hot, dried, crispy, sugary and delicious! Everything you want in a churro. I would definitely go back and try some different things and a margarita read more

After attending The Alice: Cocktail Experience at the Salty Dog we stopped next door for dinner. The outside is inviting and the interior is fun with neon pops of color and décor. The restrooms are even cool with dark lighting and neon sayings and quotes in Spanish. You can access the menu from the QR code at the front and then order at the counter. The menu didn't offer the greatest of options in my opinion. They had tacos, quesadillas, baked potatoes, tostadas and a select few other items. We were quite shocked when we got our food. I ordered the pollo papa asada which was a baked potato with cut up chicken pieces on top. It was all very bland and extremely small for the $14 I paid. Thankfully they had a self serve salsa and more bar to spice it up a bit. The other two people in my party ordered a pollo quesadilla and birria quesadilla and for $9 was again super small. Not worth the price at all. Carbon Cabron feels more like a happy hour spot to me, if you're looking to have a nice conversation, drink and small plate. On a high note, the staff are incredibly nice and when they gave us the wrong food item they corrected it immediately. Overall, I hope this new place thrives, but also feel that they need to revise the pricing on certain items in order to do so. read more

I moved from California to Colorado, Fort Collins, to be exact. I have hunted high and low and haven't found good tacos. I found this place in Instagram and decided to give it a chance. We drove more than an hour and when we arrived we noticed the little salsa bar, just with that I knew this place would be great. We had 4 different tacos each one having is own special uniquely taste. Will be back read more

Great food great price! I went there for some good tacos and I got great tacos for a great price.

The quesabirria tacos are one of my favorites! The place always has a good crowd, but the ordering is simple and efficient! The drinks are good too, I just wish they had something frozen for these hot months. Overall, it's a chill place with great food! You won't be disappointed! read more

Came here for dinner with friends. It was fun - lively music, fun atmosphere! Service was just a little slow. You order at the counter, get all your taco toppings/salsas from a bar on the side, and then grab a table. They bring you your drinks from the bar & tacos from the kitchen. The drinks were good, but not great. And they only had 1 bartender, hence the slow service. However, the tacos were amazing! Super flavorful - especially the pastor & the shrimp. I would come back just for those! read more

Music is always so good! Love love the tacos & quesobirria. Would give 5 stars if the lighting was not so bright- --- if they could just shut the overhead flood lights off (porfa!) it would not only be cooler in temperature, but it would also take the ambiance to the next level. Shutting some lights off would change the vibe to a place you might experience in CDMX. Just shut the lights off already! Nobody wants to see anyone's pores. See photos. read more

Quick and convenient late night bite! I had the quesabirria and it was a great size, but lacked flavor! There is a topping bar, but it didn't help much. The meat itself was missing depth from the traditional chiles used. Although it did satisfy my hunger, I was fairly disappointed in the flavor. read more

I live close by and popped in for the first time. I ordered a couple tacos and a steak quesadilla. I liked the spices and flavors of what I ordered.

Same bland small portions. And now the ludicrously little weak margaritas are $11 instead of $10.

Astounding this place is still in business. Ordered chips and salsa and the house marg, came out to $16, definitely pricy. The "chips" and salsa came on a plate as literally just 6 small tostada shells and an empty paper cup. They straight up don't have chips. You use the paper cup to get salsa from the salsa bar, it was pretty good -- the only redeeming quality of this place. The marg had some weird black rim and was basically just sugar water, would not recommend. The service was crazy slow on a Friday night, and they weren't even busy. I waited maybe 10 min at a table for my marg then went up to the bar where I waited another 10 min while the bartender actively avoided noticing me. Seemed like nobody here had any actual kitchen / restaurant / bar experience and they just brought in their friends. Nobody in the kitchen was wearing gloves either. read more
