    Delicious Mexican food in a strip mall just off Parker and Dayton. They offer fillings that are less common than most taco shops. We tried the barbacoa tacos as well as the chilanga sandwich with steak and Mexican sausage. It's like a torta but slightly different. Their quesadilla was really tasty and different as a home-made corn tortilla is used in lieu of the flour that most restaurants use. I had the chicharron prensado (bacon) which is something I don't see very often. It was smoky, slighly chewy and very good. The salsa bar is awesome with four types of salsa (one is a guacamole), cilantro, onions, limes, radish, spicy onion and jalapeno mix, pickled carrots and peppers, etc. Friendly staff. The interior is basic and kept very clean. Give Tacos DF a try for sure.

    Tacos DF, it's been 36 hours, but we are still dreaming of you. We ate at House of Bread (in the same shopping center) right before we came, but we still wanted to squeeze in two tacos. We ordered the al pastor (pork) and la cabeza (head). Al Pastor: Marinated to perfection. It was so fresh that within my first bite I'm pretty sure I burnt my mouth w/ the oil. Worth it? Yes x1000. I topped mine off w/ the green salsa, radishes, cilantro, and lime from the self-serve bar. La Cabeza: I've never seen my husband's head tilt to a 175 degree angle before and his eyes closed so tightly while eating a taco. The end. Jk. In his words - "It is so fatty. So good. This is the best taco in my life." Check it out for yourselves! Chef's kiss.

    Wow! Wow! Wow! I used to live down the street from this place and I never tried. Now I live 30+ minutes away and finally tried and I am upset because of all the times I should've been eating here. These tacos were crazy good.... The carnitas and cabeza were so flavorful and tender. The onions and cilantro bring it to a next level and the salsa is amazing!! I cannot wait to go back. I definitely would give both tacos a 10/10, I licked my plate clean AND I'll get four different tacos next time. I also got their carne asada burrito that was on the salty side but I still enjoyed it, but I'll definitely get it without cheese next time. Btw their carne asada is also amazing and nicely seasoned. Happy stomach :)))))

    The DF stands for Dope as F*&#. These tacos are EVERYTHING! The barbacoa was the best I've had in years and the pot roast literally left me speechless for 5 minutes - which if you've met me, is a huge feat! The tortas are also amazing. And the salsas. And all of it. I simultaneously wish I had the ability to let everyone in Colorado know how amazing this place is while also making sure nobody else finds out. 10 stars, Yelp. GIVE ME MORE STARS!

    Absolutely LOVE Tacos DF... one of the most legit taco shops I've been able to find in Denver. This place has it all... lengua, tripas... and even Cabeza! Being down the street from my work, it's almost impossible not to eat here every day!

    Menu as of Nov 2022

    Tried this place on random after some Sunday grocery shopping. Oh my goodness, so glad we did. Amazing tacos. We got a good variety between the two of us to test the range of flavors and the variety of different meat options. This place is serving up some of the most authentic tasting street tacos in Denver. The salsas are perfection too!

    The tacos were excellent. You must "dress" your own taco at their little salsa bar that has more than just salsa. Yummy!

    Overall: Alma Fonda Fina lives up to its hype. It serves delicious elevated Mexican food and is…read morereasonably priced for a Michelin star restaurant. This is the Michelin restaurant that you go to if you like a more casual / less stuffy experience. Food: 4 Every dish that we ordered was delicious, but slightly on the heavy side without anything light/acidic to break it up. Perhaps it's because of what we chose to order though! Frijoles Puerco: This was a play on refried beans and chorizo. The chorizo has a little kick to it. The sourdough tortillas were delicious and served fresh and warm. Callo De Hacha Al Horno: The scallops were a flavor bomb served in a serrano ponzu and tomato butter. I'm unsure why the scallops were cut into smaller pieces instead of left whole... Enmoladas De Pollo: This was essentially chicken enchiladas cooked in mole so I was skeptical if I would find this dish worthwhile. They proved me wrong as this was one of the best dishes of the night. The mole was flavorful, not too heavy, and the chicken enchilada was so well cooked. Birria De Borrego: The lamb shank was cooked until it was fork tender. After taking it apart, wrap it in a fresh and warm tortilla with refried corn beans and salsa. The lamb was well cooked and made for a good balanced bite, but it did feel special. Service: 5 We set at the chef table and was able to watch as they finished and plated each dish. The chef was attentive without being overbearing/annoying and we had a good conversation with him. Food came out at a good pace. Ambiance: 5 The restaurant is small and cozy. It didn't feel stifling or pretentious as other fine dining restaurants can sometimes feel. This would be perfect for a date or dinner with friends.

Others in my party might not have felt that way. But nonetheless they enjoyed the entire experience. It felt like everything we ate (at first) was pretty spicy. But by the end, the spice level was coming down. Some of the highlights, the sweet potato, the sourdough tortilla with the chorizo burrito. The scallops. The cod. The birria. The mushroom quesadilla. So, pretty much all of it! I enjoyed everything that I ate! I'm interested to come back for happy hour, since they have a few different plates on that menu. For dinner, I'll keep it reserved for special occasions. Try and get a reservation, I think you'll enjoy yourself, if you appreciate craft cuisine. Good job, Alma Fonda Fina Team!

Looking at taco places, I went with something close by to our location and found this hidden gem. Nestled away on a small street corner of Clay Street and 32nd Ave. parking can be scarce, but I'm sure with the right time and a little bit of walking you will find and manage your way here. Outside the restaurant, they have a small seating area which now is winter too cold to enjoy, but I'm sure in the spring and summer and fall time is super enjoyable. The inside, though a little bit tiny and no cozier than going to your mom's house and expecting a family Filled living room/Kitchen. We went down and greeted by three smiling faces. We already looked at the photos online and knew we want tacos so opted with the chicken tacos and Carne Asada taco plates. The tacos place option came with 5 tacos with up to 2 choices of meats the ratio would be 2:3 .. freshly mashed guacamole made in front of you or freshly sliced avocado.. In the pictures I listed you will find each chicken and Carne Asada options. Both slow pictures missing two tacos because we devoured them as soon as we got into the truck. Their street tacos are heavenly! Chicken option was all chicken breast super juicy grilled to perfection five tacos on a plate another two tacos missing because my husband and I devoured it. This plate came we asked it with the guacamole option instead of fresh avocado. The carne asada was just FULL of flavor and the fresh avocado slices with green tomatillo salsa SLAPPED.. the tortillas are super soft and tears from how fresh the flour tortillas were!! Definitely a place to sit and eat there to enjoy the hot food. I'm originally from SoCal and a heavily populated Latinos with amazing tacos and food.. Taqueria La Familia passed the bar high!! We can't wait to come back and try other options and will update pictures and review then!
