I totally thought I reviewed this place already but it's not popping up. I LOVE this food truck. They have the best Mexican food of all time. I work at different locations all over Denver, and if people say they miss good Mexican, I always recommend El Consome de Morelos. There are also some food ingredient sensitivities, and they have been able to accommodate. Food always comes hot too. read more

Unassuming truck but amazing 10/10 tacos. This place especially hit the spot during a cold night in Colorado. I ordered the birria tacos and enjoyed every bite of the its warm, greasy goodness. The consommé was super flavorful and warmed your soul, and the meat was flavorful and tender. Mix that with the crunch of the tortilla and wow you have a meal. Pricing was well worth it and would definitely love to come here again the next time I'm in Colorado read more

This little taco truck is right in front of a dingy and dirty bar for dirt cheap drinks and smart for this business because once they're drunk they can purchase tacos from them. This place doesn't have a price on their truck and when asked it almost felt like the lady was annoyed. I then spoke Spanish to her, just to show her I'm no gringa. I asked to try out their carne asada and its the best thing ever!!! Made with homemade tortilla, carne, cilantro and onions with limes... I had an party in my mouth. Idk what is up with Denver CO but this place seems to not like black people. Idk same attitude was given just at the other location. Bad customer service but the food was great. Would I come back, Hell yeah! Next time if the attitude is given and I'm going to give it back. read more

The service and quality is appealing, however the flavor is very different to your "typical" Mexican birria. I'm aware there is several ways to cook/season birria, but this one was not it. I have had birria my whole life, but this one hits different, not in a good way. I was hoping it would due to the reviews. Great quick service but overpriced. It sits on Colfax so just watch your back while waiting. read more

I got the quesabirria tacos and they were pretty delicious. The order came with 3 tacos which were decent size, consome, and a red and green sauce. The limes were unfortunately a little dry. I wish they would allow ordering a la carte tacos. I ordered for pickup and it took 30 minutes longer than quoted. The food truck is at a convenient location to me so I will definitely return to try other items on the menu. I will make sure to allow extra time for them to prepare the food so I'm not awkwardly standing on the busy street of Colfax. read more

Why Matt, why? You've lived a half mile away from El Consome De Morelos for nearly a year. You've driven by the food truck over 150 times. What the hell took you so long to try it? On behalf of myself, I would like to apologize to my stomach, my appetite and my mouth. This food truck is like the little engine that could, dishing bomb Mexican food for under $10. For the longest time I thought it was a tamale truck. After finally stepping up to the plate, it's legit Latin food with a Denver flare. Tacos, smothered burritos, breakfast burritos, pupusas, consome, quesadillas. I went on an exhausting 7 mile hike and I knew like the back of my hand that I needed a smothered burrito. The best part, they serve Barbacoa! FTW, that's rare. And damn, was this giant burrito that ran me $8 was a home run. Soft burrito, perfectly tender Barbacoa, and all the gooey melty cheese you dream about. This will not be my last time here. They are parked here pretty much every day outside The Viking Bar. Whatchu waiting for?! read more

3.5 stars! Pretty tasty tacos, and I liked the salsas. Worth a stop if you're craving tacos and in the area. The meat was reasonably flavorful, I loved the cheesiness, and the price is more than fair. They also don't skimp on the portion sizes, so a great spot if you're very hungry. With that said, I'm going to be a little harsh and admit that out of all the 4 different spots I've had birria tacos this year, these were the bottom of the heap. This year, I've had Kiké's red tacos in Denver, "La Unica" in LA, Kalaka Mexican Kitchen in Evergreen, CO, and El Consomé de Morelos on Colfax. These were the unfortunately the weakest of the four for a few reasons: - The best quesabirria tacos have one thing in common: crispy tortilla. El Consomé de Morelos unfortunately does not have the crispy shell, which docks it a bit ("Kiké's" and "La Unica" in LA absolutely nail this). - Out of all four consomé spots I've been, el consomé de morelos had the least flavorful and most watery consomé. This is the only consomé that neither my wife and I chose to drink / finish after eating the tacos. - Meat was NOT BAD at all, but was the least flavorful of the four. I definitely WOULD go back here, don't get me wrong, and I wish I could give 3.5 instead of 3. But I've also got to be honest, these are not the best birria in town. read more

After visiting Mexico, I was curious to see where I could find affordable and delicious tacos in Denver, and I did! Located inconspicuously as a food truck on colfax, el consome has tacos for $2.50 with onions, cilantro, and salsa. We ordered right away and there was little line on a Saturday night. The food came out in 5-10mins which was perfect because you know they were made fresh to eat. The taste was so authentic to what I had just had in Ensenada Baja Norte just the week before We ordered the carne asada, barbacoa, and carnitas tacos! Definitely swing by for a great eat! read more

I was craving tacos so I decided to order from this place. I ordered 4 tacos and a quesadilla from doordash. DIdn't realize they were a food truck, but it's pretty cool that they offer delivery. I will say the quesadilla tasted amazzzing. Top 5 quesadilla's I've ever had and I've lived in Texas. Like I want to know what cheese they used and if they made their tortilla's from scratch because it was delicious. Would order again for sure. But I wanted tomato and they charged $1.70 for tomatoes in a quesadilla? A little bit too much I think, but whatever - now I know. Now for the tacoss mehhh not so much....I got 4 asada tacos. The beef was just very tough, and not that flavorful....maybe it was just a bad night because I really wanted to like them. I may try them again but it was just tough , I ended up not eating them. They could use to marinade or something. Either way I will for sure order quesadilla's from here again 100%. read more

Give this place a call to make sure they have what you want. They close up when they're sold out. We came by on a Sunday and lucked out with them still having everything at 6:30 PM. This stuff is the real deal y'all. Freaking delicious. What you need to order: Quesa birria tacos Barbacoa burrito The birria tacos are super crispy and filled with juicy meat, cheese, onions, cilantro. Then you get to dunk them in the consume - yum. The consume wasn't as flavorful as I was used to but hey it all worked together beautifully. You gotta dunk in the consume and then dunk in the hot sauce - trust me. The barbacoa burrito is larrrggggee. Filled with tender shredded beef, cheese, beans, smothered in green chile. I mean what's not to like? Everything was super flavorful. Their hot sauces are BOMBBB. The spicy red sauce is SPICY but oh so flavorful. They have a mild green sauce and it's a cilantro based sauce - refreshing and delish. Come here! You will be so happy you did! read more

This place fills up 60 days in advance, without fail! When we arrived, we were able to get parking about a block away on the street. We were soon greeted and guided to our seats upon walking in. This is a very small restaurant - only a few tables, not many options for big groups, and some bar seating both inside and outside. I can see why the reservations are in such high demand! We were recommended to get 4-5 small plates, so we decided on the Guacamole Alma, Burrito de Frijoles Puerco, Apache en su Jugo, and Enmolada de Pato. We also shared the hibiscus margarita and Mex 75. The drinks came out first - the hibiscus margarita was so refreshing, light and delicious! We weren't as big fans of the Mex 75 - but if you like smoky drinks this is the one for you. The guacamole came out first - it was tangy and tasty. I will say that the other dishes were a lot more unique. The burrito was a standout - we absolutely loved the homemade sourdough tortilla, one of the best we've ever tasted. The chorizo filling was savory and tasty. The Apache en su Jugo was unique and had a lovely flavor - if you are a beef tartare fan this is a wonderful dish to try! The enmolado de pato came out last and we thoroughly enjoyed the mole and flavor. This is definitely worth checking out. I will say as a Houston native we have several restaurants with similar flavors and slightly lower price tags and wait times, so I am a bit spoiled in that regard. But all in all the service is wonderful, it's a pleasure to try so many different and unique dishes, and the joy of snagging a reservation is worth it!

They have a nice happy hour and we sampled just about 1 of each thing on the HH menu. The highlight was the loaded fries and the Elote while the worst item was the beef tostada which was just super basic and boring and I wouldn't order it ever again. Drinks were good and I enjoyed their happy hour deals on house margaritas, beer and shot on a good deal. Service was nice but a little slow on the patio. Overall would come back and try their other items and go for those fries again.

Shrimp tacos - the rice is super yummy too! Not a soggy after thought

The food was delicious! We got $2 chips and salsa off the happy hour menu and the queso con soyrizo (not on HH menu) which was served with warm tortillas. Honestly we probably didn't need all that because the tacos were so good I could've just filled up on more of the tacos, but still was a great meal! I ordered the lengua, pastor, and taco special (breaded shrimp). They were all so good. Think taco quality of a good street taco spot but with the ambiance of a cute tex mex bar. The bartender was great and made a solid marg ($8 on happy hour). You get a great deal on taco Tuesday but I'm sure you'd get great service and quality any day of the week!

Then you are driving the neighborhood hoping to find a spot. Finally parked and walked to the restaurant. Host told me it would be 30 minutes but the actual wait was 50 minutes. Spend so much time parking and then waiting, at what point do you give up and leave empty handed? Restaurant is VERY LOUD. Finally got a table and ordered OFF MENU. Server agreed to substitute shrimp for my enchiladas and they were good! Fresh corn tortillas were the highlight. Ordered tres leches cake and enjoyed it too. Was a nice meal but just not worth all the hassle.

Ni tuyo means not yours. Experience ni tuyo. Pork belly tacos were insanely good. Also the rib molcajete. Those two items stood out. They feature original cocktails, thoughtfully invented. Some of them blow my mind, some of them I didn't think worked very well for my preference, but all of them were unique. I value this uniqueness. Don't get for about mezcal Wednesdays. A great way to leave your comfort zone and try whatever they are featuring for a reduced price. Their variety of curated mezcal is a great way to start and make progress on your mezcal journey. There is such a variety of mezcal that I believe there is something for almost everyone. Put your trust in their bartenders to guide you on the different styles and flavors. And finally, they are a huge part of the Colorado agave collective. Monthly agave tasting. The best way to learn and appreciate.

After asking to be relocated to another table, as there was a security box that was buzzing…read moreextremely loudly near the entrance, we waited for 15 minutes before I got up and asked the host if we were assigned a server. The server who came to our table had passed us about 10x prior to coming up to our table and asking us, "are you ready?". I let her know we hadn't been greeted and needed to get our drink order in. Since we had waited so long, we also put in our food order but overall, a terrible way to start the meal, as it felt like we had been intentionally ignored after we asked to relocate due to the noise. Food came out super fast and hot, but the beans and rice portions seemed like 1/4 less, with me running out after one flauta. Mango margarita tasted overly of sweet & sour mix, and while it was almost a slushie it perhaps needed more ice to make it so as it came out as more of a liquid. Overall the lack of an apology for the super long wait before we got drinks put a damper on the rest of the evening.

We ordered the chips and salsa trio to start, quesabirria, chicken and steak fajitas with corn equites and rice/beans as a side, and lastly the carnitas. Personally I got the carnitas and was shocked at the portion! The presentation was beautiful and overall it was quite tasty. The hard part with this meal was that the black bean puree was underneath all the meat and au jus so it was a bit challenging to scoop up and put in the tacos. Everyone enjoyed their meals and we were pretty stuffed that we couldn't make it to dessert.

Pho 92 DIA

Cravings absolutely satisfied…read more We were in CO for the Rocky Mountain Siberian Husky Club specialty and I cannot go anywhere without having some sort of Asian food. That evening, I was craving pho. Pho 92 came recommended and I was immediately drawn to the clear broth in the photos while researching Yelp for Vietnamese food. It was a Thursday evening when we arrived at Pho 92, and the restaurant was packed. It was loud, with staff bustling about and patrons enjoying their meals. The aroma of the pho broth was just as I had hoped for a busy restaurant. We waited approximately 10 min for a table. The staff were pretty efficient and looked to have a good system going for bussing tables. Hailing from CA, I am no stranger to good pho, and this place hit the spot. I'm so glad I decided to get the regular instead of the large, because wow those portion sizes were indeed huge. My husband made the "mistake" of ordering the combination vermicelli bowl, and it came packed with tender proteins and crispy egg rolls. That just meant for some delicious leftovers (that actually reheated perfectly). The pho broth was as clear as I had imagined from looking at other patrons' photos. It still had a good depth of flavor, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It had been a long travel day for us, so I didn't want oily soup. (Sometimes I do enjoy rich, oilier pho broth, but not that night.) The pho came with a plethora of herbs, which I of course used all of. Be warned that their chili oil is very spicy, which I accidentally put too much of without first trying (oops). I generally don't go to the same spot twice during a trip, as I enjoy trying out different local businesses, but Pho 92 would have been a spot I'd return to again if we had had the time and if I had wanted pho again. Their menu is huge, so there are plenty of dishes to choose from to satisfy your cravings, whatever those might be for any given day. We will definitely be back the next time we visit CO!

The atmosphere was very cramped now, with tables on top of each other. The wait was about 30 minutes on a Sunday evening, and everyone seemed very overwhelmed. Our waiter was lost in the sauce and came by a total of twice - once to take drinks, and once to take our order. We had to flag him down to pay our bill. They no longer have the crab fried rice, but do have an imitation crab one. The photos from today look so different from before. It was damn near inedible and was actually gross. Our bill was over 100 bucks and it was so upsetting because the food was not worth it. The atmosphere is so chaotic and unfortunate. Definitely a miss.

This was pretty disappointing as I was really anticipating a great experience all around after seeing the Yelp reviews and getting recommended this place by a local. I was also excited when I saw the expansive menu with lots of great-looking options. The food was also subpar for my tastebuds. The scrambled eggs were lukewarm and lacked flavor. The pancake crumbled as soon as you put syrup and tried to pick it up. The best part was the chicken sausage, which was served hot and not too salty or oily. I really liked the vibe inside, with the open feeling and the red brick interior. There are clean bathrooms. Our waitress was really great - super kind and attentive. Unfortunately the kitchen lacked. It was convenient being able book a reservation, they also have a waitlist that you can join prior to heading to the restaurant. I probably would skip this place if you're visiting from out of town like I am. There are a lot of other brunch spots in the city that I would want to try instead.

I was so indecisive with my coffee choice and he helped me narrow it down to a classic cappuccino- blessed! He was kind enough to let us order a to-go item ahead and placed it on the side for us to pick up before heading out. The food came out very quickly and pipping hot as well. The Boulder Scramble 8/10: Slightly heavy on the feta but who doesn't like cheese?! The potatoes were well-seasoned and the sour cream added richness to the meal.

The variety of toppings makes it fun to mix and match. The Thai Peanut was unique and surprisingly good, but the Mexican Chocolate was the clear favorite at the table. I had the avocado toast. The side salad was a standout -- spinach, small orange slices, and a berry vinaigrette. Super fresh, light, and refreshing. My husband got the biscuits and gravy and said it had great flavor with a nice kick of spice. Vegetarian options were clearly labeled, with a note to ask about vegan swaps. The service, unfortunately, didn't match the food. We waited at the door for at least 10 minutes without being acknowledged. After we were seated, our server started taking our order but stopped midway to run someone else's food. We also never got water refills, and with just one napkin each for donuts and a full meal, I found myself folding and refolding mine a million different ways. Overall, service felt slow and a bit disjointed, like we weren't a priority. If the service improved, this would easily be a go-to brunch spot.
