Nice quick lunch bite when you need something fast. I got a burrito that hit the spot - decent size, good flavors, nothing fancy but it did the job. The thing is, it's overpriced like all food trucks, but guess what - so is everything downtown. At least here you know what you're getting into. The burrito was solid enough, just not anything that's going to blow you away for the price you're paying. It's convenient if you're in the area and need something quick, but there are better Mexican options around if you've got the time to look. For a food truck downtown, it's about what you'd expect - decent food at inflated prices. read more

Where should I start?! Best burritos ever! I have been following this food truck for years and I'm never disappointed! Maria and her beautiful mom are always so welcoming! Her mom makes the burritos with love that's why they are so tasty! Great flavor, great price and delicious food! Look for the turquoise blue truck located in front of Union Station! read more

Pure. Taco. Heaven. Don't let the funky aquamarine RV deter. This place has the Mexican food Mojo workin'. Let it work on you. If you are standing out front of Union Station facing away from the large, iconic train station sign, look across the street and slightly South on the same block. Find your bliss. Mine was in the form of three birria tacos that could compete with the very best. Nicely done, Marquez. read more

Chilli rellones burritos are absolutely the bomb. I love these! Call ahead they dont always have them to make.

Finally, after two years of being in Denver I've found a top notch taco truck. Let me take that back not only did I find a top notch taco truck but I found a top notch taco truck that serves mole. Scooooooooooooore. If your ever on 17th and Wazee, I suggest you come hungry and be prepared for taco love! read more

Got violently ill after eating a burrito from there. I'm afraid they may have an issue with sanitization. I filed a report with the dept of health. read more

Was at the day of the dead festival at civic park this past weekend and my friend and I both had the chicken mole burrito. We both caught food poisoning a day later read more

Fantastic food for the price. Tried several tacos and burritos and liked them all. Without factoring in price this wouldn't be 5 stars, but when looking for good food on a budget this is some of the best you can find in Denver. Hit or miss whether the cart is there any given day though. Lowering 1 star because of that, it's hard to give a place a perfect rating when I can't eat there with any kind of relaiabity. read more

I am here to sing its praises to the holy heavens. Hallelujah! Authentic street tacos that aren't all hipstery and douchebaggy, and cheap as ever! I was at work one day, deeply pondering what I wanted for lunch that day. Was it 9 AM? 8 AM? Doesn't matter. I took a break from working diligently to look over my bookmarks on Yelp, and for some reason, I had this place marked as a place that I wanted to visit. So I ventured out at 11 AM, deciding that this is the place that I wanted to go. There is one of those aforementioned hipstery and douchebaggy taco carts across the street from my work, but I wanted real true tacos. Burrito cart saved the day. I received 4 chicken and spicy green chile tacos, covered with onion and cilantro, with a wedge of lime on the side. All for $6. I walked back to my office, showing off my prized possession to my coworkers, and I swear, we had to call in the cleaning crew to wipe up their piles of jealousy saliva as they drooled over the smell and look of my tacos. "MINE, YOU CAN'T HAVE THEM!" I yelled across the 4th floor. I got through 2 before I decided that I needed to take a picture to commemorate the flavorful chunks of chicken and green chile creating a masterpiece in my mouth. I got through 3 and decided that I needed to slow down. Maybe save the last taco for later. Not a chance. I scarfed it down and sat at my desk, in a taco coma, for a very long time. I think some work got done after that, but I am not entirely sure. Who cares? Those tacos are bomb.com (yep, bringing that one back). Great friendly service, and CASH ONLY. Cash is king. read more

Marquez Food - 4 tacos for $6 - Mexican Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Yelpers of the World Unite! Why does the burrito/taco lady (as my fellow teammates call her) only have one review on Yelp. Are my Yelpers slacking? You might be... Teammates of mine told me about this lady and invited me to got this morning. Thank goodness, this is the BOOMDIGITY! Smallish menu. Offers a selection of breakfast burritos, and a great array of tacos with carnitas or chicken or more. Taco's have a great balance of spice (mild if you want) with fresh onions, cilantro, lime, and rice. I had the chicken and there are were huge pieces of chicken throughout - not cheap with the chicken. She also has a variety of drinks. She's on the corner of 17th and Blake which means that if your looking for an amazing lunch or breakfast you should walk the 1/2 block and get some taco lovin! Forgo the Chipolte's and Qdoba's of the world and take part in the Burrito Cart - support a local gem that deserves the recognition for being a great food cart in downtown Denver. Stop by giver her a try and write a review. Let's get busy! read more

Amazing food. I went to this spot one day before a Rockies home game and was completely hooked. I try to go as much as I can, diet permitting, and their burritos always hit the spot. They now accept Debit/Credit cards. read more

Burrito cart on 17th & Blake is wonderful! Pork green chili burritos, rice bean cheese with fresh onion cilantro, steak tacos with lime, cilantro, onion. You name it, they have it. Non greasy, full of flavor.mouth watering! Cash only! The owner is very sweet not much English, however that adds to the ambience! This little cart is packed with flavor compared to other carts on 16th st that leave you sick the rest of the day. Or if you want Americanized with bad cheese go there. My only complaint is that they were only there this week 3 days and I am dying for my taco fix. 2 tacos and you are full. read more

The best deal for lunch in LODO! Friendly and fast service from a super adorable older couple. This food truck always has a line on sunny days, so get there before/after the lunch rush. You can get a plate of 4 tacos (w/onions, salsa and cilantro) for as low as $6. It's our office's staple all year around. I always get their steak tacos $2/each because the chicken and pork seem a bit dry, you can get regular or spicy. Wish they had cabbage or oaxaca cheese to top it off. CASH ONLY! read more

It's as good as it gets for a delicious $3 breakfast burrito. My office is right next door to here, so I have had many a breakfast burrito here. I'm a total carnivore, but I highly recommend getting the #6 breakfast burrito (potatoes, eggs, green chili). It's a little spicy and has everything you would want in your breakfast. And it's $3. read more

The BEST food truck in Denver. I work across the street and the breakfast burritos are the best ever.

For YEARS my aunt and uncle (as i called them now because they feel like family to me) have made excellent food for breakfast and lunch and i'm proud to recommend them to anyone. Always a happy smile and ready to help you with your requests. truly amazing read more

I am terribly picky about my breakfast burritos, but this was by far the best one I've had in Denver. This little cart on the corner of 17th and Blake is helmed by the cutest couple, and for how crowded they are, they're putting out food incredibly quickly. The cart is cash only, so come prepared, though most of the menu is under $5. The breakfast burrito is simple in it's greatness. I had the egg, potato, and cheese, and everything about it was delicious. The biggest outlier from other burritos that I've had in town was the tortilla. This tortilla was actually good! Not gummy or too thick like most tortillas in town, and trust me I have looked far and wide. I will definitely be back! read more

I go to this place often and work across the street. The food is always amazing and the owners are such sweet people.

For $6, you can have 4 chicken tacos with excellent toppings and salsa. The couple working in the very tiny cart (how do they do that?) were very friendly. read more

I was browsing through 5280 Magazine and in the section where they were profiling Cheap Eats (cover story) I saw a blurb from a respected downtown chef who recommended the burrito cart at the corner of 17th and Blake. He liked the chicken mole burrito for three dollars that was as large as a Chipotle burrito. I happened to be near there that same day and decided to check it out. It was easy to spot on the corner though it was about as small as a burrito cart can be. The inside was just large enough to contain one person and his array of ingredients. Just outside was a nice lady taking orders and a chalkboard menu that listed about eight different kinds of burritos and a few taco choices along with a cooler containing various bottled and canned drinks. I ordered the chicken, rice, potato, bean and green chili burrito. Normally I don't go for a burrito with so many ingredients but I felt good about this one. Yes, it was only three dollars and yes, it was the size of a Chipotle burrito. It was in a word, *excellent* - in every respect. Every ingredient was "right" and it all went together wonderfully. I am planning on returning to this vendor again whenever I'm out for lunch in that neck of the woods. I hope they never go away. Salute! read more

I was afraid that the Burrito Cart no longer existed because there weren't any recent reviews. Happily, the Burrito Cart is alive and well! And so delicious and such a bargain! The day that I visited, the cart was in front of Sliceworks. I was craving a burrito with beans, rice, cheese, and some hot salsa, and that's exactly what I got for the bargain price of $3.50. $3.50?! The beans are refried, and the hot salsa is of the green variety. This particular burrito reminds me of California-style burritos. I'm excited to try the breakfast burritos and other options. Skip the chains and head here--better food, better prices, and almost no wait at lunchtime. read more

I eat at this cart about 3 days a week at least. It's cheap ($3 for a big burrito), delicious, and Felipa and her husband are really nice and friendly. It's a very popular cart, and the breakfast #6 (potato, egg, green chili) is delicious! They even got a brand new nice cart a few weeks ago. Definitely more than worth the money. read more

Finally found one of the best Mexican food stands in Denver. Real Mexican food definitely going back.

Get there early! 17th and Blake. Some confusion on what cart is here. Here's my review for the cart as of Fall 2016 run by a delightful older couple. The cart set up might look a bit scary but I have eaten there many times. No issues, trust me, I'm a doctor. Very good real food and real people. read more

I visit this cart about once a week - weather permitting. I love the food and the proprietors! The price is very reasonable and I never finish hungry. My favorite lunch is the pork green chili plate. It's $8 and it's a good amount of food. I also love the pork green chili burrito. I've see other people mention tacos, etc, but I just can't make those words come out of my mouth when I'm ordering. I want to but I can't - I love the plate so much. The owners are warm and friendly every time. And, if they're not there due to weather or whatever, I go into Slice Works instead and order a couple of slices of green chili pizza. read more

Yum. This burrito cart is so great! The people who run it are so nice. More importantly, the burritos are gigantic and delicious and so cheap. Seriously, how do they make money only charging $3? These things are like greasy and tasty without being greasy gross. I admit I'm very likely to get one when I'm hung over. And they keep you full forever. I usually eat breakfast and a snack and then an early lunch, but when I eat this around 8, I'm not hungry again until 2. Bonus: the green chili is vegetarian! And delicious and delightfully spicy. read more

I'm sure that, given more time here in Denver, this place could easily earn a fifth star from me. That said, I walked down to the little cart this morning to have a breakfast burrito, something I've been missing terribly since moving to Florida. I ordered my burrito and then got to watch her make it to my liking. My breakfast did not disappoint, great flavors from simple ingredients, and a perfect amount of heat and flavor in the green chili. Hit the spot perfectly. Also, I'd like to give a shout out to my fellow yelpers. Denver is my home town, but I haven't been lucky enough to visit for a couple of years. Of course I'm visiting all of my faves, but without Yelp, I never would have found this burrito cart, so thank you!! read more

These guys are great! The owner is really nice and appreciates you practicing your Spanish with him. Great food, cheap prices. Super convenient and friendly. read more

Marquez Food - Menu - Mexican Near Me - Denver, Colorado

I have to agree with the previous reviewer. More people need to comment on the food at this stand. They are making fresh, albeit not very healthy, Mexican food and they are doing it at a great price. Breakfast burritos are hearty and rich, leaving you craving more. I would recommend not ordering anything HOT unless you are prepared to pay for it later. read more

YUM! I want to give the burrito cart 5 stars, but I want to find the right burrito for me. I wandered over there this morning to grab some breakfast. Super quick, took only like 3 minutes for her to create my burrito. I thought I asked for the chorizo burrito (#1), but I think the owner misunderstood me, and gave me the potato, green chili and egg burrito instead. It was good, great spicyness, not greasy at all, and very filling. Great for $3.50! I'm not very picky, but it would've been nice to order the burrito that I wanted. Owner loves to practice his spanish with you, that's pretty fun! Will update this when i find a burrito i love. read more

I frequent the Marquez Food cart for their awesome breakfast burritos. Every time I leave with my warm egg, chorizo, potato, cheese burrito laced with green chili and onion/cilantro I have a big smile on my face. Unlike so many corporate and chain restaurants that can dominate the dining landscape, this is about as Mom and Pop direct as you get. Literally. The husband and wife work in tandem, she creates the marvelous burritos while he manages the order and money. Maybe my happiness has to do with feeling like there's a direct impact and I'm contributing to their life. It's cash only, so don't come empty handed thinking they have nifty credit card options. Highly highly recommend Marquez Foods, they epitomize hard working small business owners and their food is authentic, delicious, and inexpensive. read more

Small food truck on corner surrounded by tons of construction. Better customer service than most restaurants in the area. The owners were awesome. They asked questions because they really wanted to please, and please they did. Great burrito! We will certainly return! read more

Awesome. Very friendly people. The tacos are great, the salsa is very good, their burritos are awesome (they steam the tortilla it makes it sweet). I would eat there everyday if I could. And they never run out of mexicoke as opposed to the cart on Curtis & 18th. Did I mention it was cheap? read more

Can't be beat. Great food, great prices, close to my office. That wouldn't matter though as I'd go out of my way to eat here.

Great tasting and inexpensive. Perhaps the best Mexican food downtown. Plus, they are super friendly. They should be rewarded for their fine food. read more

Um... awesome. I was a little sketched out by the make-shiftiness of this cart, but oh man... was I so happy with my red mole chicken burrito!!! And at only $4, I'll definitely be back. If not for the red mole burrito, then definitely to try out their tacos! read more

Wow wow wow these are soooo good!! Breakfast burrito with green chile was the best I've had in Denver. Can't wait to go back for tacos.

This is my go-to spot for a cheap, delicious lunch in Downtown. The burritos are fantastic and the couple that runs the cart are wonderful people. read more

Excellent tasting burritos - and they're HUGE! Their English is not perfect so be sure to confirm your order.

The owners were very friendly and the food was delicious! I'm just in Denver on a long layover and this was just the right thing for a great breakfast. read more
