I'm super jealous that everyone from the area gets to have these tacos all the time. Everything was absolutely incredible, packed with so much flavor and quality. I can't even tell you what I liked most because everything was the bomb! The service was top notch, super friendly and helpful and made sure my needs were met. It's got that legit taco joint feeling to it. It's well lit and clean inside so it's a picture takers dream. read more

I have been here several times now for both breakfast and lunch. The garage door open space is inviting, calm, and especially nice in good weather. The staff is always friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. They have a sky light, be sure to look up into it. The mural is cool! The Big chicken on the wall is a nice touch too. The tacos here are really good! For breakfast, I always get the bacon and have never been disappointed. The potatoes are crunchy and seasoned perfectly. Their sauces are top notch!!!! For lunch, I got the Senor Potato and had them add chorizo. YUM!!! I highly recommend giving it a try. The only less than 4-star review was about their queso/quesadilla, which I have not tried. It is a taco place, so be sure to try the tacos. read more

This is the 2nd time we came here & it was just as empty. We arrived around 10:30am and got breakfast tacos. They were so big it was hard to eat them with your hands to I had to use a fork. I got mine on corn tortillas & they were very good, I got the potato one & chorizo. My husband got his on flour & they were homemade. He got the fried chicken breakfast taco & he said it was the best. I hope this place stays open, it's very clean & has fast & friendly service. read more

Cute taco place in Five Points. Plenty of free on street parking after 6pm. Otherwise 2hr parking. The have 4 soft tacos with protein and 3 vegan tacos. All served on corn tortillas, but their house-made flour tortillas for $0.15 extra are better. They have the usual chips with either salsa, guacamole or queso or get all three. I got their fried plantains with red onion, queso fresca and crema. Yummy sweet plantains. I tried their house mrgarita, but it was weak. I switched to the Popeye's Poblano and substituted Ojo mezcal for the tequila. A much better drink. Smoky and spicy. I got the Birria with consomme and the Pollo Verde simmered in salsa verde. Both good. For dessert, I got a churro cookie with vanilla ice cream. I finished with a Margarita Verano made with aperol & tequila. Very nice. They are open daily Tues-Sat 9am-2pm for breakfast and lunch, then reopen at 430pm till 8pm most days. Happy Hour is 430pm-630pm weekdays. They have soft drinks and a mocktail. Most margaritas can be made alcohol free. Note, no one asked if I wanted salted or sugared rims. Jose B took my order. He recommended the flour tortillas. Normally when come in, you order at the counter, then find a table. I sat at the bar where you can order after sitting. They have a sidewalk takeout window. They charge a 5% fee for the Greener Good sustainable practices. They are closed Sunday. Reasonable prices, even better on happy hour. read more

This was my first time coming here and they did not disappoint. I've passed by this place a lot so when I had sometime to kill, I went in. I went during their brunch hours, so it was a little busier than what I've seen, but not overly crowded. The waiter was able to let me sit at the bar, and the service was pretty helpful. Food wise, it was way better than what I expected. I got two of the pollo verde tacos. They were seasoned nicely and had a good amount of filling that I was full after two. I didn't get a cocktail, but I'll have to try a margarita next time. Overall the space was cool. The music wasn't too loud and the staff was help with checking in on patrons. Would definitely come back. read more

Interior is cool. Service is very good. I did like the chips, salsa & queso. My pollo verde taco was . I wasn't wild about the birria taco and I love me some birria. $6 taco's is the new expected price for fancy smancy tacos but, $6 for a Pacifico beer? Hell no. I'll be back to try more food for sure. My rating may change as well. I do recommend this place. read more

Food: Came here because of the great reviews. It is a newer place and I am on the hunt for Denver best tacos. While the place and actual tacos are beautiful, I was not too impressed with the flavor of the tacos themselves. To me, they were just ok with a lot of potential. The vibes of the place are nice and u think that carries it (at least first impression) If you've ever been to Guisados in LA ( this is what I think they were going for, more stewed item tacos) - Let's break it down - 3.5 overall on the tacos *Chicken / Pollo Verde: juicy chicken, liked the salsa verde, mildly spicy. * El Vegano: Mexican households have the best refried beans (I feel like this one needs a flavorful refried bean since it is the base of the taco) beautiful taco yes indeed, but something was missing. I feel the pickled onions saved it. * Birria Taco: maybe i am biased because i love onions, but please add raw onions on top for the crunch + cilantro for freshness and balance of the beefy taste of the birria itself. Inside with the cheese, I barely tasted the onions. I added salsa and limon to it but still could not get the taco to my liking. I didn't finish this taco :( * Consomé: it was warm. The consomé is typically what I rate my birria off of and I was actually very disappointed with this. It was Luke warm and not hot. I'm not sure what happened here, will give the benefit of the doubt and perhaps something happened? * Salsa: yummy no complaints * Chips and queso - I would come here and order this over and over. sooo good! Service: 5 great staff! Attentive, no complaints here. Server was polite and quick. The cook peeked out and thanked us which I loved. (He's the reason I want to give the place another try maybe at a different time) :) Ambiance: loved! The place is so cute - modern and trendy taqueria Overall: 3.5 rounding up to 4 read more

When you get there, you walk into a bright and welcoming environment that has a very clean design. The service was quite quick and friendly despite being pretty busy. The food menu is mostly limited to chip appetizers, tacos, and quesadillas. I do wish that there were a couple more taco options, but everything we had was great! I feel like the salsa could have a little more heat, or additional options, but that is just my preference. They also offer a fantastic cocktail / mocktail menu with a good amount of options. We had the chance to meet the owner who is extremely friendly and works hard to keep the restaurant running smoothly. Definitely recommend this taco joint! read more

Came in a Friday evening with the Juneteenth festival being set up outside so wasn't too busy. Got seated right away, took a little bit to get served but once we did it was amazing! High quality food and excellent drinks (Mexspresso was one of the best drinks I've had in awhile) Def recommend the quesadilla with the chicken it's massive and I know people are raving about the flour tortilla for the tacos but the corn was excellent as well! Great new spot, will be back read more

The place was packed a little before 7 pm on a Friday night. This was the third time we've tried to come here so I decided to wait the 20-30 minutes the host said it would be. Ended up waiting only 15 minutes so third times a charm, I suppose. Ordered a skinny margarita and Modelo, chips, salsa, and queso. Chips come out in a cute little tin bucket lined with wax paper. Queso is very good here - not the best I've had but good. Salsa is outstanding though. It's on the thinner side, which I like, and definitely has a kick to it! When I mixed the two together, it was a perfect combo. Skinny Marg is nice and smooth and doesn't have that over powering lime taste that some skinny margs have. It is also STRONG so win-win for me! Hubs had an icy cold Modelo in a bottle. After one sip of his beer, I reminded myself that a beer every now and again is a really good thing. Barria taco is fantastic. They don't skimp on the the steak or cheese in these bad boys. And the consommé you dip that taco in is so good I could've drank it right out of that little serving cup. I did lick four out of five of my fingers to get every last little taste of the consommé. Homemade corn tortillas are freaking delicious. Hubs got the Pork Adobo Taco and it looks delightful. His came with a side of chili verde and he said there's a lot going on with this taco. A lot of flavors and none of them were disappointing. This taco has a polite latent heat with the chili verde. The Pollo Verde taco melted in my mouth. There was no latent heat with the chili verde in this taco. It must've gotten soaked up with the perfectly cooked, juicy, tender chicken. Two TV's for you sports folks. This is nice because they had baseball on when we came in. My hubs lives and breaths baseball and tacos. There is no silverware here so be prepared to pick up rouge taco pieces with your hands! We only had one complaint and that was the napkins. They could use an upgrade cause I think we went through like 30 of them! I ain't deducting a star for a stupid napkin, though. That's what shirt sleeves are for. This place is legit. Staff was super friendly. Food comes out fast and they also serve breakfast. Can't wait to go back for that.... read more

I stopped by Taco Uprising Thursday evening and made a reservation which was great because at 7:30pm they were busy and closing soon (8pm). The food was tasty, especially the cod taco special. I believe they have a good happy hour but did not see the hours posted on the menu or in the store so we missed it. It is a small interior that is quite trendy. I would return if I was in the area but the ambiance was not ideal. read more

Wow these are some of the best tacos ever! Picked up take out while in town visiting and everyone has continued to rave about the tacos all week. The menu had quite a variety of proteins and vegetarian options so there really should be something for everyone. The queso and guacamole were also delicious and felt fresh. Can't speak to the service inside but we didn't have to wait long and the tacos held up the short journey home. read more

Delicious tacos in 5 Points! We are thrilled to have a new business in 5 Points we can walk to. This cute little spot's decor reminds me of Tacombi in NYC and the food was delicious. We came in early because we have a new baby and although it's small, we were able to easily get our stroller in. We had 4 tacos and two cocktails, the highlight was the pork taco and the birria's consumé was so good! The tacos are served on corn tortillas but you can request them on house made flour tortillas. Normally I'm team corn, but we were curious about the homemade flour ones so we got 3 tacos with the flour and one with corn, and the flour tortillas are the clear winner, they should just serve all tacos on them and have the store bought corn as the alternative for gluten free options. The staff was really friendly, and the owners came and said hello, which was really nice. The menu is simple and straightforward with a lot of great options for vegetarians and meat eaters, they had a lot of fun cocktails and even a delicious sounding mocktail. There is something for everyone. They also serve brunch, can't wait to come back and try it. I'm sure once people discover this spot it won't be so easy to grab a table, so go try it! read more

Taco Uprising - Potato vegetarian taco, birria, pork, and pollo verde yum! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Denver, Colorado

We had the birria and Mexicano tacos. Both incredible! Food came quickly. Chill vibes

The food was so fresh, yummy and unique! The flavors were bold, and everything felt like out of a home kitchen.

I don't know what they're uprising against. Taste? The queso was OK. Not great. Then I got a quesadilla. Ew. Low quality darkmeat, the cheese was spongy, like fundido, and just too much grease. I paid my $36 tab, and left my mostly uneaten quesadilla. No need for a to-go box. Frankly, I'd prefer the chain from Austin, with the little devil. Better queso and quesadillas. Lower prices. read more

Absolutely the best Taco place in Denver. It's one of those places where you can blindly point to the menu and anything you pick will be absolutely superb. The Birria tacos are the best I've ever had. Servers are fantastic. Passionate about what they do and quick on the draw. And to top it off, this place is clean and vibrant inside. Really a must try. I've been there for breakfast lunch and dinner. They're killing it at Taco Uprising! read more

I just stumbled into this place to get to-go tacos while we packed up after a week in the neighborhood. Taco Uprising is legitimately AMAZING. The food is delicious, the vibe inside is ultimate chill, the service is great. Mushroom and corn quesadilla is the best quesadilla of my life. Dip it in the birria consume if you're meat friendly. If not, a dip in salsa is also delicious. Can't wait to figure out a trip back someday! read more
