I decided to stop by Mojo Taqueria in Boulder after watching some concerts at PorchFest, and we happened to catch happy hour, so the food was a little cheaper than usual. I tried the chicken tinga taco, carnitas taco, short rib enchilada with Christmas sauce, and the chicken tinga tostada. The chicken tinga tostada was definitely my favorite. It had really fresh greens and a lot of flavor without being too heavy. The chicken tinga taco was probably my second favorite and had some of those same flavors. The carnitas taco was good too, but it didn't stand out quite as much compared to the other two. The enchilada was probably my least favorite, although I really liked the red sauce. I got the Christmas sauce with both the green and red sauces, and the red had a really nice smoky flavor. The service was actually impressive. Our server was really friendly, and somehow we got our food faster than we usually do at some fast food places. I also really liked all the plants and flowers out front, which gave the place a nice atmosphere. Overall, I really enjoyed it and would definitely come back. read more

Friendly, fast, efficient service at the bar for enjoying a variety of tasty happy hour snacks and drinks that keep me busy from 3:30-6:00. Officially happy hour is from 4:30-6:00 but they graciously began being happy an hour earlier for me. Well deserved #1 rated for HH in Boulder. They have MUSIC! read more

Mojo Taqueria Boulder - 3 tacos plate - Tacos Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

Recently came here with my partner after a lackluster experience at a different Mexican spot nearby. We enjoyed sitting outside amongst the flowers and found the staff to be welcoming and attentive. We each ordered a margarita and found them to be tasty and refreshing. The queso and chips were a delicious and delivered quickly. I opted for the tortilla soup which was flavorful and filing. My partner tried a bite (he's not a soup person) and he was so excited about it he said he'd get it for himself next time. My partner also enjoyed his tacos, rice and beans. 10 out of 10. We will definitely be back again soon as we'd love it try their happy hour. read more

Absolutely the best food since we got to Boulder and Danni was an amazing server! This is definitely repeatable. read more

Excellent! Fresh, fast, friendly and a great "after work" kinda hidden hangout. Outside patio is a bonus, plenty of space. Nestled inside a plaza, it's a hidden gem we will be back for. read more

I like this place ...the location tacos the personality of the bartenders. I discovered a new tequila here and then I'm going to try and get it back in Michigan. Next time I visit my sister in Boulder we're coming here again. The yucca fries were shockingly good. read more

Decided to stop by for happy hour about a month ago after reading the reviews. We must've gotten to the restaurant right in the nick of time, because once we were seated and started ordering our food, the restaurant started getting busy for happy hour. The first round of ordering we got the beer, shot, and enchilada deal, a few tacos, and an enchilada. Second round of ordering was quite similar, only less tacos. If you're not a huge fan of tequila, you can opt for a different liquor for the shot--I stuck with tequila, but it was nice of our waiter to let us know we could choose something different for the second shot. The food tasted good, but the portions were on the smaller side. Not sure if this is just for happy hour, but it was a bit disappointing since there are other restaurants that don't cut back the portions just because you're ordering from the happy hour menu. For happy hour, the total price wasn't bad, but it wasn't much of a savings either. Overall, we had a good experience though. I'd consider returning. read more

The food is delicious, the service attentive. There were 12 in our party and we all loved the experience.

Party of three, my two ladies took another friend here for his birthday. Our server was fantastic, always had a smile. The birthday boy got a free cocktail, it was super. The chicken nachos were out of this world. The other two guests got the two tacos platters with black beans and rice, tacos ordered were , fried avocado, Korean taco, fried fish (2). Taco's here are always so delicious. I'm here on a monthly basis. Thanks for the awesome food and great service. read more

I rarely write reviews, and unfortunately when I do, it's usually because something was negative. However, I was so impressed by an experience I had here last night that I felt compelled to share it. A guy at the bar--who had been there a while and had not expressed any displeasure with the service--refused to leave a tip. Not only that, he was very vocal about why he didn't tip, making sure everyone in the joint heard his complaint. He went on about having to wait 47 minutes for this and 19 minutes for that--numbers that I knew were false (yet oddly specific). It was worse than him being just a "Karen," though; intentionally or not, his rant came off as a personal attack on the bartender. For example, at one point he said something to the effect of, "Tips aren't given, they are earned," as if not stiffing her would be some kind of charity. It was obvious to everyone there that she would have been totally justified in telling the guy off, but she just let it roll off her back with a simple, "Thank you for your feedback," and a smile. Note that this is not some corporate establishment where one is required to take that kind of abuse, which made her professionalism all the more impressive. After he (thankfully) left, she continued to be efficient and cheerful (I would have been steaming), which definitely helped improve the atmosphere that had been darkened by this guy. The bartender was a total professional throughout, who obviously takes pride in what she does, which is consistent with what I've seen from everyone who works here. read more

Our server was amazing! Great food especially after a long hike, and a beautiful view of the mountains from inside! Definitely reccomend if you're in the area! read more

Mojo Taqueria Boulder - Buffalo cauliflower bowl - Tacos Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

Nov thru April order the pozole it's the best I have ever had. Love this place so good.

Awful food, the only good thing was the grilled steak and the chocolate sauce from the churros. The salad was bland, barely had any corn in it which is what I wanted. The fish toco was RANKKKK, the smell was so strong and the coleslaw was super spicy and did not go well with the rank fish. The churros were also very over fried to the point they were blackened brown. All this for $80. Not coming back. The people were nice though. read more

Very good tacos, drinks and service. We stopped in for dinner on Cinco de Mayo. My tacos were very good. I preferred the carnitas taco. I think next time I'd skip the fish, and go with the short rib. We all got drinks. They were all really good. I'd like to come back while on our trip. read more

Great food and Great Service! Bartenders and Waitstaff are awesome. Went there yesterday with a friend and the food and drink is far better than another Taqueria in downtown Boulder. Better prices too. read more

Everything is fresh, flavorful and delicious! My Husband loves the corn and avocado salad, with steak, and I love the Baja Fish tacos. Definitely get the chips + salsa trio, and let your server pick the salsa. Very laid back environment. read more

This is a great alternative to the Mexican restaurants downtown with no parking and bland food. Lots of creative choices and a nice ambiance. read more

The charred corn & avocado salad with cilantro dressing & add chicken is super yummy! The shrimp ceviche special had recently was spot on! Great service! Friendly & fun setting. A real treat! read more

My food was way oversalted, but I was so hungry I ate the 2 carnitas tacos. The only memorable flavor was salt. I expressed my displeasure about the salt to the server, but no adjustment was offered. No, I wouldn't recommend. read more

I always find myself here when we visit. The tacos are great and the sauces. I recommend adding nopales and get a side of beans.

This is my neighborhood place. First , the staff is the best. Always friendly & fast no matter how busy or even rude some customers are. The food is fresh & tasty. The best margaritas in town- not too sweet or sour-plus great prices ( especially happy hour) read more

Food was amazing! Fresh and delicious with large portions. Tacos were so good. And the spicy margarita was perfect. Service was friendly and laid back. Great place. Highly recommend read more

Tried this place for happy hour and it was tasty, but definitely not a bargain as the tacos are very small and the portion size for the enchiladas was child-sized. We ordered multiple orders to fill up and would possibly come back to try a regular meal. but overall we didn't care for the ambiance. The room carries all of the voices from the bar area and there were several very loud groups there enjoying themselves but it made our conversation difficult and we were there early for happy hour. Glad that we tried it and since we live close by we may return, but for overall enjoyment of food and venue we still prefer Efrains. read more

Meat eaters and vegetarians can eat here with equal pleasure! Great ambience, a varied menu and really good service round out this taco place as a must try. read more

Of all of the many taco joints in Boulder, I like Mojo the best. GREAT tacos (and an amazing kale salad!), fabulous coin margs, awesome happy hour - get the 3 Amigos. Love it! read more

Went on a -15 degree night. Fantastic food and drink. Great service from Cass (I'm pretty sure that was our server's name). Everything was fresh tasting and diverse flavors and yumminess. read more

We went here as a party of 8 and every one of us enjoyed our meal. The service was good also. We tried about 6 different salsas and every one was tasty. As a vegetarian, I really appreciated the variety of vegetarian menu items and sampled the sweet potato and poblano along with the buffalo cauliflower. Yum to all. My son loved the short rib tacos too. We'll definitely visit again next time we're in Boulder. read more

Mojo has great tacos. We went the other day as it's a relatively new business and loved it. We didn't get a chance to try the churro's for desert but will definitely come back so we can give it a try. They accidentally mixed up our reservation and didn't get the right number of people so they didn't have a table our size, and so as an apology gave us free street corn and made sure to take great care of us. Would definitely come back soon and bring friends. The food is great, but they were out of taquitos, so I'll have to come back and try them as they seem to be super popular. They do have an outdoor area you can eat on. The parking is great and there is tons of room, and the restaurant is an OK size so you probably don't have to wait too long in line. Make sure to try the fried shrimp tacos as they are some of the best things we tried on the menu. They also have great drinks. Update: already came back and tried the churros. They were great! read more

Mojo Taqueria Boulder - 3 tacos with rice and beans - Tacos Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

I've never had something I didn't like here. The green chile, tacos and elotes are sooo good. The inside is cute and cozy, and food is always out fast. Servers are always super sweet and helpful even when clearly busy/short staffed. 10/10 read more

Food is good and happy hour is great! A few more vegetarian taco options would be welcome as I only had one choice.

Visiting from Texas and absolutely in love with this place. We did a small taco tour of Boulder and were underwhelmed, but everything we've tried here is 5 star. I'll be dreaming about the tacos for months. Our favorites in order: 1. Braised short rib 2. Arrachera 3. Carnitas 4. Gobernador 5. Chicken tinga Mango habanero and tomatillo chipotle salsas were amazing. Reposado marg is lovely. You can't go wrong here. read more

Waited nearly 30 min just to get a drink order while sitting inside 4pm Saturday. Cocktails and salsa were excellent but tacos were not worth the wait. More traditional flavors were ok but fusion options were lacking. Felt very profiled as those who were sat after us got better service based on assumed income (clothing labels/age). The affluent wear Kirkland signature too! Would rather go to taco truck or more "blue collar" establishment and make homemade top shelf cocktails than this gentrified spot. read more

Food was fine. Service was disappointing. Gave us a kids menu but no crayons. Saw at least 8 servers walking around the not-full restaurant yet we couldn't get anyone's attention for a drink refresh. Water was never refilled and our waiter simply didn't bus our table. At some point the number of dishes on our table was unsustainable; we stacked them as best we could but after waiting several more minutes we had to take them to the back ourselves. Wouldn't recommend. read more

The best service and queso we had in Colorado. Bonus points for the wide variety of tacos available. And don't miss out on the happy hour prices. read more

Food is DELICIOUS. I get the chicken enchiladas with christmas sauce every time I go because there is nowhere else in Boulder with such flavorful enchiladas. Service is always great no matter how busy they are. The general ambiance of the space is welcoming and clean. read more

Mojo is our go to Mexican place. The margarita is exactly as we like it: just lime, agave, and tequila (or mezcal). I think they call it the coin margarita. I used to get different tacos, but now I always order the same thing- guacamole to start (super fresh) and 2 short rib tacos (plenty of protein in each taco+ crunchy fried onions). My husband always gets the short rib burrito. The red sauce, that comes with it, is heaven- perfect amount of smoky and spicy. I've tried the fried avocado taco- it was pretty good. Avocado & corn salad- was just ok. I've tried to order some of the fish tacos, but the servers never know what kind of fish is in there. Maybe I have too much high hopes for getting good fish in Colorado. Anyway! We will keep going and ordering what we know is good. Thank you read more

I've been here a couple of times. The location is good and has plenty of parking by Boulder standards. The tacos are generous and the burritos are enormous. More important than size is the deliciousness level is high, here. The food is delicious. We were seated immediately and our waited, despite forgetting a few things (still waiting for our guacamole, dude) did a good job on a busy night. I'll visit whenever I am in town. read more

We've been here a few times now. Coin margs are better than most, and they have a nice selection of tequilas if you're wanting to explore. Tacos: the vegetarian ones are pretty great - like a real vegetarian thought about how to make a super good veggie taco. I usually get a trio of tacos with two meat and a veggie and the veggie is always the best of the three. Inventive ingredients that have been cooked so that the tortilla doesn't get soggy. My boyfriend likes the enchiladas. He got the hotdog once and liked it, but decided it was weird to get a hotdog at a Mexican place. Suggestion for the restaurant would be to work on the lighting. The food is great but the lighting seems weird in there. If it were lit more warmly the place would seem fancier and more inviting. read more
