These guys upgraded from a successful food truck to this physical location just over 18 months ago--and just down the street from my house. I finally got around to checking them out. The space is small and I'm sure they do a lot of takeout business, but there is a nice parking lot. That's a great convenience, especially with the current BRT construction on Colfax. I ordered on the Web site which told me ten minutes. I arrived in 12 minutes and the food was ready to go. Everything was nicely packed, fresh, and hot. We ordered chips and guac plus the quesabirria tacos which come as a set of four. This was the perfect amount of food for the two of us. Everything was delicious. The chips were a bit greasy, but seemed fresh out of the fryer. Besides, grease is our favorite food group. The guacamole was very tasty and the tacos were really flavorful, nicely portioned, and perfectly cooked with the ideal amount of crunch. The consomé had been made with care and complemented the tacos well as did the red and green salsas. We also received some limes to brighten things up. The tacos and guac disappeared in such short order that I didn't even get one picture, but those on the Web site and here on Yelp are quite representative. This is a no frills spot that is really focused on the food. We loved it. The prices are quite reasonable, too. read more

Really good!! Steak tacos were fire! Good and friendly service. Nice chill vibes. Would come again

Quick service and amazing food! The employees are all very nice, especially Sergio. Would highly recommend

Yum!!!!! Nice little tacos, double wrapped in corn tortillas. The meat is flavorful. They are simple authentic tacos with a little cilantro and onion topping. They have a sauce bar with lots of options and chopped spicy red onions. The tacos hot the spot and are appropriately priced. Staff was super friendly. Vicente was very helpful and kind! Will be back to try the birria! Simple mom and pop spot with spanish music! read more

Chivis Tacos - Quesabirria tacos + chips & salsa - Tacos Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Chivis Tacos is a spot off of Colfax that delivers a great variety of authentic Mexican fare. I got the barbacoa, lengua, adobada, carnitas and birria tacos along with a horchata. My total was 27 dollars for all the food, which I found to be a little expensive given the size of the tacos and the amount of meat in them. I would gladly pay a dollar extra a taco if the amount of protein was higher but this was my only gripe with the restaurant. The food was great, everything was hot, fresh and well seasoned! The waitstaff is friendly and engaging and the food came out relatively fast. I was checked on during my meal and the cashier gave great recommendations for what I should order. The restaurant is nicely decorated with doodles on the wall showcasing their food and trademarks of the establishment. It was clean and well kept and I am always happy to see a well kept salsa bar. Overall, I would definitely come back to this place, but most likely as a late night post bar stop as they are open till 3am on Fridays and Saturdays. read more

1000/10!! Delicious breakfast burrito! We ordered the beef and chorizo. The chorizo was my favorite. Perfect texture and amazing flavor! They have a sauce station as well with both spicy and non spicy. The front lady was so sweet! This was my first time there and definitely not the last one. The order was ready in less than 5 minutes. And they even have discounts for students! Definitely love this business and I will be back soon. Thanks Chivis Tacos!! read more

This place is AMAZING! I'm writing my review as I'm still eating my birria. I'm originally from Texas so searching for great Mexican food is at the top of my list always and I feel so lucky I found this place. Everyone was so nice and welcoming and the dining room space is so nice. I loved the art work on the walls! My boyfriend got the breakfast burrito and he said it was the best he's ever had in his life. I concur. This birria was so amazing and the salsa station was to die for. Piling the salsa verde on the birria was the best decision of my life I think. You HAVE to check this place out and I am going to be a regular here. read more

I am shocked at how high the reviews are here. My boyfriend and I came and both got the enchilada plate and an order of chips and queso. The chicken was not seasoned whatsoever. The red sauce on my enchiladas tasted like ketchup. The queso was like this weird salsa verde with shredded cheese soup served with unsalted tortilla chips. The rice tasted odd. It was all a step below cafeteria food. And to top everything off, my boyfriend started feeling nauseous shortly after. We will never be back or recommend this place to anyone. read more

We ordered tacos to my diatery specifications and a pulled pork burrito. The burrito would have been better smothered so will order next time. The tacos were perfect! read more

Made a stop in on my way through Denver and definitely will be stopping here again. The burrito were very flavorful. The salsa bar was also fantastic with a range from mild to spicy. The service was fast and friendly. The restaurant was nice and clean with plenty of options to sit if you dine in and the bathrooms were very clean read more

Great food. Chorizo, asada, quesabirra and chips and salsa. Good vibes. Good service.

I got the hot Cheeto asada fries, Food was fresh and great I'd definitely put this on my fav list.

This is a no nonsense spot on Colfax. The interior is all business with some simple tables and booths. The staff was very friendly. We stopped in for a later dinner. We ordered the birria eggrolls, tacos de papa, carne asada and carnitas street tacos. They have a salsa bar to dress up your orders with lots of fixings. The salsas vary in degrees of heat. The orders came out fast and were hot. Everything was very fresh. I will come back and try other items. read more

Food is amazing, made quickly and with fresh ingredients. I've stopped going to Chipotle all together, this place gets all our orders now. Great burritos, Birria Tacos, and awesome customer service. Favorite new place near my hood for Latin food! read more

Today was my/our 10th or so trip to Chivis - started and run by a mother/son team who have successfully made the truck to bricks transition, where many new great restaurants in Denver are emerging (i.e. Luchador). Many of the items in the menu come out tasting home cooked and as good as you will find in the city. The list includes the OMG off the charts Tamales which I just had, the Quesabirria Tacos, Enchiladas, Tacos, Alambre Plate, and Chilaquiles...all amazing! There are better breakfast burritos but theirs is solid. We are lucky to have Chivis in our neighborhood but it's worth a drive, bus, or long walk. Service is super friendly and a really sweet decor inside, looking forward to our next 10 visits! read more

Excellent food. Great fundamentals (carnitas, barbacoa) and wonderful unique dishes (birria ramen and cheesy birria ramen). Friendly staff.

Food was dry, cold, tacos didn't come with salsa and the cali burrito was far below average. red enchilada sauce not good at all. Saw reviews that this place was the bomb, it was definitely not. read more

I don't often leave reviews, but this place really knocked it out of the park. The staff was friendly & there is a window directly into the kitchen so you can see how clean the cooking stations are. The food was absolutely killer. I may even go out on a limb and say it is a top 3 taco spot in Denver. I got the quesabirria tacos, and it was phenomenal. Ingredients tasted fresh, and the consomme had so many layers of flavor. My girlfriend got the carne asada tacos, and legitimately, it was the best carne asada I have had. All of this for an average of $3 a taco is an amazing bang for your buck. Highly recommend checking this place out. read more

The best around! Don't sleep on the quesabirria tacos!! So, so good and great customer service!

I loooooove this place so much the adobada tacos and flan are amazing and I get them at least once a week

This is an excellent addition to the neighborhood! I had the chorizo burrito and it was fantastic. Not only good ingredients but they also used refried beans (they don't do that at Illegal Pete's). My wife's carne asada quesadilla was also delicious. Finally, Chris and his family are lovely people - I am pulling for them to have big success in this location. Get a portrait of Zapata or Villa up on the walls and it would be perfect! read more

Real street tacos! The meats were full of flavor and the salsas are delicious. We ended up ordering more tacos because they were THAT good.

Great food and service. Tacos $3 each that I Enjoyed but then saw a great looking Torta delivered to the table next to me so I was a tad envious as it looked amazing. I'll try that on my 2nd trip. Very casual atmosphere so shorts and T-shirt will do fine. read more

Five star for sure all the food is on point the fact they had a truck for years and now have a restaurant speaks volume let's go

Run, don't walk to this place! Or you can drive bc they have a small parking lot. I found this place from a Reddit post and I was not disappointed! Quick, friendly and delicious!! + there's a salsa bar! read more

Lengua tacos for the win! Friendly staff and fast service. All the salsas were incredible.

Stopped by Chivis Twcos for the first time on Monday and WOW! Tried several varieties of meat and each was better than the next! The staff was super friendly and explained in detail the various marinades and preparations. Everything is obviously made with a lot of pride, not to mention it's all made in house. This restaurant is worth going out of your way to check out! read more

Amazing food, fantastic service and authentic! A must go place in Denver. Fast service- take out or dine in.

When a food truck gets a brick and mortar spot you know they've got something good going. I got the quesabirria plate, four tacos and consomme for $16, as you can see I couldn't help but enjoy one before taking this picture. The staff are very friendly, and the atmosphere says authentic Mexican food. They even had tres leches! read more

Was looking forward to a Calif Burrito and was disappointed. There was hardly any meat in it at all! For $16 and some change it was definitely NOT worth it. read more

Excellent! I rarely come on here for reviews. Unfortunately they mostly have been negative. NOT THIS ONE. We all want the authentic taco stand/food truck experience. Because we want quality authentic food without the price gouge because it's at a physical location instead of a truck. This is it. We've seen the downfall of Kike's red tacos when they opened up their brick and mortar. This location did the opposite, due to a bigger kitchen they have increased their quality and passion. We have yet to have something we weren't blown away by. We just picked up another order and sadly didn't get the guacamole green sauce which is why I chose to write this review. The reason is because their mom deemed the avocados that day were under ripe! Let that sink in. Everything is home made the day of, from their family recipes. I've been to so many places where they just put out condiments because why not, they are condiments, who cares? They care. read more

This place has the kindest owner and staff & makes amazing authentic Mexican street cuisine with large portions. It's worth stopping here before Illegal Pete's, you'll be so glad you did. I've been going here twice a week since they opened I love it, nothing better in the neighborhood in this genre. The carnitas street tacos are my favorite, they make the juiciest meat here, no diddy. Also love the tortas & flamin hot Cheetos asada fries. Legit place worth the stop! read more

This taste like California tacos from Oakland to San Diego Gotta try there vegetarian tacos everything is fresh 9.8/10

Yo, delicious tacos available till 3am on Fridays and Saturdays???? This place is exactly what this part of colfax needed. Thanking the taco lords for aligning the stars and providing my neighborhood this local Mexican joint so I can wake up on the weekend past mass hours hungover and get a bowl of menudo, lengua and barbacoa tacos(protiens might be a special tho - hopefully available forever because wow), and wildly good salsas to sprinkle on these freshhhhh delicious tacos. Will be coming here all the time now, thanks. Also the Mexican wedding cookies were spot on. Great space! read more

WOW!! I have been here twice. First for tacos, because it's in their name. And then, a couple weeks later, before work, for a breakfast burrito. Both were SOOOO GOOD, as in Excellent! Five Stars! and the staff , both times, have been exceptional and super friendly! Excited to go back! read more
