My family and I visited this restaurant for the first time today and really enjoyed our dining experience. The location was convenient right near King Soopers in beautiful, historic Golden, CO, there was plenty of free parking, we were greeted upon entering and seated quickly, our order was taken quickly, the food was delicious and reasonably priced, the service was very good, the dining room was clean and not too loud, there was a football game playing on one of the screens, they took photos of our group requested by me, they gave a free Mexican fried ice cream plate for one person in our group whose birthday it was, and the restroom was clean and did not smell. read more

Well, my family has just found our new taco Tuesday place! They offer two dollar St. tacos on Tuesdays. All of the ones we tried were really good. My favorites were the veggie and the pastor. My son really liked the chicken and I think my husband was the Carnitas and the pastor I had a house margarita with a Taheen rim. It was delicious and strong. They do refills on chips for two dollars and have a nice outdoor seating area. Looking forward to our next taco Tuesday. read more

My husband ordered chicken mole, and I had chicken enchiladas. Good but not spectacular. It's like the ingredients were obviously quality -- it wasn't slop -- but the dishes just weren't very flavorful. I almost never salt my food at a Mexican restaurant, but I reached for the shaker twice. Service was semi-attentive. Waitress didn't check on us till we were almost finished with our meals. read more

Good food, service was not great. The food selection was broad, and quite delicious! But the service was poor and felt like we were inconveniencing our server. We considered ordering drinks at the bar to save both our and our servers time. I know we were not the only ones, as multiple other tables were visibly dissatisfied as well. The restaurant itself was fun to attend and we enjoyed being seated on outdoor patio! read more

Impressive restaurant. Good food, clean environment, efficient prompt service, and a good location, I am glad I tried this place. Upon entering we were immediately greeted and seated at the booth of our choice. The chips and fresh salsa were really good and that is always a good sign. We asked about portion sizes and our server explained what to expect and then dropped an honorable that today (Wednesday) was the Enchilada lunch special for $10. 3 mix and match, with rice and beans. Bam! Easy choice. Done. My dinner partner opted for the tacos (3) and was also quite satisfied with the large filling of meat in each taco. Full bar. Lots of cool artwork. Give La Huacha a try --its a great choice for a great quality, reasonably priced, extremely satisfying meal. read more

Overall, great new find. We'd been here once before when this was under another name and immediately remembered the sparse parking options and it being situated on the first floor of an apartment building. Not good or bad, just what my brain files away, lol. Today, we found parking quick and easy. Thank you, parking gods. The interior layout is the same as I remembered - large bar area, bright space with a minimalist but cool decor. We ordered chips and queso with a side of guacamole - this was my only complaint. Def check out what $5 of guac will get'cha. I was so surprised, I genuinely asked to confirm that this was indeed the $5 side of guac. Yep, it is. The container is one you'd put a dollop of butter in (maybe slightly bigger than a quarter). My only WFH moment. That aside and lesson learned, the queso, tacos and house marg were great. We'll be back and I won't be ordering guac, lol. read more

Lots of indoor and outdoor seating. Great food and fast service. Their patio is dog friendly!

I discovered this place from a family member, we are always looking for a new place to try so invested in a 20-minute drive. The restaurant isn't located in Golden proper, it's a bit off the beaten path, but it's worth the trip. The atmosphere is relaxed, casual and decorated with a more updated decor than most Mexican establishments. Salsa & chips were served just after sitting down and drinks were good, although a bit on the small size. We ordered carne asada, chicken & carnitas tacos as well as a carnitas plate that came with beans & rice - all were very flavorful. We will definitely return. read more

Food: best Al pastor tacos we have ever had (even in Mexico). Vegetarian tamales were delicious and the handmade chips and salsa were fantastic. Ambiance: amazing setup: giant bar, comfortable booths, great indoor/outdoor seating. Service: friendly and courteous. The owner came out and chatted with us, too. read more

OMG FRESH! Tasty, friendly, reasonably priced, NEW in my neighborhood! Yay!! Salsa is delicious, not too spicy, fajitas are excellent - lots of meat and veggies, quesadilla is sooo cheesy..... read more

Came here with a girl friend on a Thursday night. Parking was fairly easy, plenty of free street parking. They have bar seating, booths, tables as well as some tables outside for when the weather is nice. We sat at the restaurant bar and started with some chips. Our waitress who was also the bartender was great; she let us sit and catch up before pressuring us to order. The drinks were delicious, and I ended up getting the fries with the chipotle on the side (it was a bit spicy for me). I also got a side of sour cream and guacamole which made it that much better. It was a decent portion size, and I had leftovers for the next day. My friend ordered Birra tacos and loved them! Prices were fair and what you would expect. Around $40 each with a drink and main. We ended up sitting and chatting/eating for around 3 hours. We saw many people come and go. A gentleman who I believe was the owner greet almost everyone who walked in. He clearly recognized or knew them and cares about his patrons which was so lovely to see. I live around 25 minutes away, but I hope to be on that level one day. Overall, 4.5/5 stars! Looking forward to coming back! :) read more

Mmmmmmmmm man! Plates here are so darn good. Big portions and the handmade tortillas are fire

I ordered the chili rejenos platter, crispy with green salsa. The chilies were stuffed with about 3/4 of an inch to an inch of cheese. The cheese was not melted through and we're just blocks of cheese by the time I got the plate at home. They turned out to be rather inedible. If I were at the restaurant and they came out that way, I would've returned them and gotten something else. On the upside, we had two burrito dishes that those family members really enjoyed so my reading is really just on the rejenos read more

Gotta be honest. Aside from the fresh chips and salsa, I wasn't impressed with the food. I ordered the pork in red chili sauce, my wife the carne asada. The pork was super overcooked and dry, even with the red sauce. My wife's carne asada was like a leather shoe tongue. Thin, dry and chewy. She asked for medium rare, so I can't imagine how wekl done would be cooked (beef jerky?). Staff was reasonably attentive, but they have my order to someone else, and I waited around an extra five minutes for my entree. The interior is clean and new. That was a plus. Oh well, at least we gave it a try. read more

La Huacha - Nice bar - Mexican Near Me - Golden, Colorado

Love it all! Especially the ceviche and mezcalritas. Taco Tuesday is always good. All the tacos are great. Everything we have tried has been fresh and very good. Service is fast and attentive. In many ways it could be a sports bar with all the TVs but they aren't loud and annoying, so it is all good. read more

Delicious food! Friendly staff. Great location. Try the street tacos, queso and prickly pear margaritas. Chips and salsa too! You'll be back. read more

Stopped in randomly on our way up to Winter Park; we saw they had a patio which we needed for our dog. It was perfect sitting outside. Ask for Lupita. She gave us the weekly special rundown. FOOD: Husband ordered a smothered asada burrito and I ordered the veggie tacos without pineapple and they were Amazing. Like delicious. Came with a side sauce, but honestly didn't even put it on because they tasted so good without it. I forgot it was there, but it was also good. Great salsa served at table as well. Will be back for sure. read more

Food was great! I had 3 tacos with 1-carnitas, 1-el pastor and 1-!asada. Each was overflowing with delicious meat and toppings. Husband had a combo plate with enchilada and a burrito of some sort. He really liked both, as well as the rice and beans. The chips were homemade and very light and crispy. Salsa was fresh. Service was great. Manager/owner very attentive to everyone in the restaurant. a+++ ambiance was clean, comfortable, casual. read more

Service was good but I think they are maybe down a person. Was pretty slow to get our check. Food was pretty good. Salsa and chips are really good. The guac needed more lime or just a bit more kick. The shrimp were a little fishy smelling. Otherwise enchiladas and burritos were great. read more

I've had my eye on La Huacha in Golden ever since I started working there. They always had a line. They always sold out. And somehow, I never tried them... UNTIL they moved into one of the buildings I manage (taking over Pancho & Jane - RIP). Now, it's a problem because I keep spending money... but also the best thing because their food is unreal. I mean, 5.0 stars with 437 reviews?! They're not playing. Let's dig in! What I tried (over several visits): Queso Dip - White cheese sauce + green chiles + tortilla chips (I added chorizo ). Huachadilla Al Pastor - Flour tortilla + melted Monterrey cheese + Al Pastor + guac. Carnitas Tacos - Shredded carnitas, cilantro, white onion. Torta La Huacha - Telera roll + asada + mayo + fresh cilantro + grilled onions + black beans + melted cheese. Tres Leches Cake - Sponge cake soaked in three milks (aka heaven). Horchata Agua Fresca - Cinnamon rice water Pancakes - Two house-made pancakes + scrambled eggs + ham Best Bites: I'm picky about tres leches because the icing can make or break it. This one? Flawless. Creamy, full of flavor, and honestly, I need a bucket. The torta also slapped and the black beans were a nice touch, and the asada was cooked perfectly. If you haven't been yet, do yourself a favor and go. read more

Have been excited to try this spot since it opened and it was delicious! Inside is super cute and the staff was really sweet/attentive. Will definitely go back read more

So so good!! I had the pozole verde and it was delicious! My husband had the tacos and they were just as tasty. I look forward to coming back here to grab a bite when I'm in Golden. read more

This place is truly excellent. It's hard to find good enchiladas in my experience, but these suizas did the job well. Excellent tomatillo salsa. My tablemates were really into their dinners as well: torta de pollo; carnitas, pastor and cauliflower tacos; and vegetarian enchiladas. Love the massive bar and inside-outside vibes around the garage door. Service was quick and polite. We'll be back! read more

First, I want to say the food is incredible. Second, we have been 4 times now times for the incredible food and hoping the service gets better. I'm so sad to say, it is still lacking. Slow, messed up charges and delivery of wrong food (but very kind and didn't mention the food is great?) I write this to help with training to improve service. I believe they will get there and I'll continue to go for the enchiladas. Yum read more

Service at La Huacha is incredible! Everyone is so friendly!! My order came out not quite right and they immediately made it better - absolutely incredible staff. The food is very good and the restaurant is spotless. We will definitely be back! read more

Amazing. Homemade flour tortillas. Great service. The fajitas were worth the price. I wish they used chicken breast instead of white meat chicken. The steak was fantastic. Al Pastor was really good. Chips and salsa among the best I've had in Denver read more

Excellent family run restaurant. Delicious authentic dishes reasonably priced. Friendly welcoming staff take care of you like your one of the family! read more

La Huacha - Birthday - Mexican Near Me - Golden, Colorado

Pretty delish! I had visited this as a food truck but excited to try it in a sit down restaurant. Just great and an extended menu as well. Warmly greeted and served promptly. High ceilings with a central bar. Didn't try any drinks tonight - next time. They too a good Mon on their salsa and we polished off the chips too . read more

We loved this place. We were visiting Golden for the day and decided to give this place a try. It was delicious. We ordered the green pozole, and a chile relleno plate. Both were excellent, the pozole especially. The service was also excellent, and the ambiance is great. Highly recommend. read more

This review is for the new restaurant that opened in 2025 vs. their original food truck. The food is delicious and not your typical "Americanized" Mexican fare. Not that there's anything wrong with that. It's just nice to have something that feels more authentic and freshly made. We've sampled fajitas, carnitas plate, chile negro and the tacos pastor. Everything was fresh and delicious. The margaritas are also hand made rather than from a gun or tankard. The space is very cool with nice art and the bar centering the venue. Service was attentive and friendly. This will be one of our regular spots. read more

Such friendly welcoming staff. Food was really great flavors. Will definitely be back with our friends in tow!

Stopped in for an early evening bite. Sat at the bar, food was meh, the carne asada was so dry I didn't eat it. There was a mixup and my husband's order was given to the couple that ordered after us (same order), so he had to wait a bit for a new one. read more

Very nice people. Modern decor. I had take out and it was all delicious! I think I would select a different torta protein, the chorizo was delicious but there was a LOT of chorizo read more

This new restaurant is just amazing!!! Our server told us their story. They started out selling salsa at farmers markets. Graduated to a food truck. And now they have a brick and mortar location in Golden! The chips were fresh fresh fresh. Salsa was also fresh and excellent. We all loved our cocktails. The Paloma was one of the best I've had. Tequila perfectly balanced with the grapefruit. I had the soft chili rellanos covered in the green chili. It was the best rellano I have had in ages. They are my favorite so I am very picky. The chili was flavorful and the cheese was plentiful, high quality and perfectly melted all the way through. The highlight was the green chili... the whole table liked it so much everyone ordered their own small serving to pour over their meals! The ambiance is beautiful. Gorgeous finishes. Rustic with bright turquoise tile wood finishes. Big glass garage doors that open onto the patio. Should be fun this summer. The staff was so friendly and helpful. The energy is high... we loved every minute! This is our second visit in less than a week! read more

Service was ok; I was so looking forward to trying the quesabirria tacos, only to find they were very salty; I mentioned it to waiter, who did nothing about it, no replacement, no discount; had to eat salty meal; my wife's dish was perfect with no issues. read more

Great place. Great REAL authentic Mexican food. Service great A great place to watch the game with family and friends

Now I'm no expert on Mexican food by any means. However I would like to think that I know what good flavors are. Had to stay in Denver for a month and both of us were craving Mexican food. Found this place: Salsas La Huacha. Was thrilled to see it. I mean a shack in Golden, CO. Wow. First thing's first. Do they have veggie tacos for my wife. Yes they do. Simple menu. No avocado and chips and stuff. Took a chance and grabbed a couple veggie and chorizo tacos and went home. Mama Miya. Absolutely LOVED the chorizo tacos. Wife loved her veggie ones too. Have been there several times already and tried some of the other tacos too but the chorizo stands out for me. We go there once a week and I'm not kidding; I'm like that kid who knows tonight is ice cream night. Except, it's taco night. Gonna miss their food once we head back to Chi Town. read more

Solid food, good service, but a bit too pricey for my wallet. For three people we had tacos, two margs (taps for beer were broken) and a soda which came to $75 not including tip! A bit excessive if you ask me, but maybe that's the reality of eating out these days, everything is just more expensive. Like I said, everything else was great--food, people, atmosphere, but can't justify going back and spending that kind of $$$ on tacos and 1 drink for 3 people. read more
