Still fantastic after 2 decades!! My favorite place for cabeza tacos. The family who runs it is so kind. This used to be a taco truck on federal and now the original couple's kids are running it, but if you catch the Dad there you should say hi. He's so friendly! read more

These tacos are tasty, authentic and big. The barbacoa and cabeza tacos are standouts, I can't remember ever having barbacoa and cabeza tacos that were better. The meat in all the tacos is juicy, fresh and delicious. Eating inside is a great experience. They have a self-serve salsa bar with some delicious salsas and cucumbers, they have Mexican music playing energetically and there is a steady stream of people coming in and out that seem to really enjoy the food. Great vibes all around. Like I mentioned, these tacos are big. Four tacos is all you need to get full here, ordering more than that may be a mistake. I personally prefer street tacos to be smaller, but to each their own. I would also pass on the chorizo, not much going on there. Overall though the food is scrumptious and I look forward to coming back to try a quesadilla (they were cooking some up when we arrived and they looked on point). read more

Tacos DF - Mexican Near Me - Denver, Colorado

The tacos and food overall were pretty good, but I give them a 3* rating because the tables were nearly all dirty, the food was barely warm, and the cashier was on her speaker phone the whole time even when working with customers. read more

My coworker got this recommendation from her dads friend, and these tacos were legit. I ordered the carne asada and Al pastor tacos. Carne asada tacos had a nice char grill taste to them and the Al pastor tacos were flavorful. Don't forget to grab some cilantro and onions because they don't come with them on the tacos. They definitely got me wanting to grab some from lunch next and try other items. read more

Tucked away in a corner strip mall at Dayton/Parker, it's easy to go right past Tacos DF. If you like tacos or pozole, this would be a mistake. You can expect tasty tacos and other items done Mexico City-style, as the name implies. They offer suadero, not common around places I frequent, tasty pina-laden pastor, and above average asada, to name a few. Huaraches, tamales, enchiladas, and gordita are other items available. The star for us has been pozole. It tastes like memories of Tuesdays in Guerrero, when the pozole flowed like wine, or something like that. Quality's on point, portions are plenty big, tacos, too. Tip: Tacos on the taco plate come w lettuce. Sin lechuga a la carte. Do not expect gringo'd up Mexican food and you'll be stoked you stopped in. read more

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

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. read more

The pork tacos were delicious and the reason for the 3 stars. The beans were a tad salty. The rice was ok. Unfortunately, the chicken was very fatty. The flan was clearly old and burnt. It tasted so bad I only ate 2 bites. However, the biggest issue was their floors. Sure, there was what looked like the days worth of food on the floor which would have just been an end of a rush. However, at closer glance I realized all the way around the room is black gunk. It almost completely ruined my desire to even try the food, but I did so that this could be a complete review. I did really like the pork tacos and for that alone I would want to come back, but with the floors that dirty I just can't. read more

Bad bad services... food really good but there services is worst them been in Taco Bell. I try to give them the opportunity again. Last time I did a review I did in Spanish manager reply back to me in English. Like a no Savo Spanish girl lady son tacos Df. read more

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. read more

Good food. Bad service. It's been serval times where we've gone and they disconnect the phones so they stop taking food orders. Or they answer and leave on the phone without talking to you. many many times. the food though is very good and i do recommend but just don't call hours before closing or they won't answer read more

It's the second time this guys don't let me eat inside, (it's 6:45pm right now) claiming they close at 7:00 when everywhere else says 8:00 .. read more

Food was ok. The salsa bar was filthy. The prices shown on other Yelp reviews are not accurate. I paid just under 12 bucks for 3 plain tacos. It was decent but at that price, I'm not coming back. read more

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 :))))) read more

As a native San Diegan, finding good Mexican food in Colorado isn't easy. Tacos DF is legit legit. ALL the tacos are amazing. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! read more

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! read more

I gave 4 for the food but the place needs frequent cleaning. You can see dirty floors in the kitchen and dining area. The tables were sticky and not wiped off of crumbs. I'd still go back but I think I'll eat in the car. read more

It's been a struggle to find a taco place we really like on this side of town. Although we love tacos we also want to a place that has good Mexican food in general. While I have passed this place a number of times and it's caught my attention since I've been in DF (aka Mexico City or District Federal) before, I have never popped in. This past weekend we were itching for Mexican and I suggested this place as a 'what the heck'. Well, this 'what the heck' was and is a winner! Talking about excellent and authentic Mexican food - this place has it. Tacos, posole, sopes, etc. Every single thing we had was excellent. In fact, there are other items on the menu I'd love to try not to mention I think it'd be fun to dine in rather than take out next time. I can't say enough about this place and it will absolutely be out go-to spot for Mexican for the foreseeable future! read more

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! read more

I have always seen Tacos DF but never stopped in. This past Saturday, my sister, my boyfriend, and I were hungry after a sipping and painting night. Tacos DF was still open and it was on the way to my sister's house, so we decided to try them. They have a full menu, but when you have tacos in your name, I'm going to order tacos. I ordered 1 tripe and 1 tongue with a bowl of menudo. My boyfriend ordered 2 carne asada tacos and 1 barbacoa and my sister ordered 1 tongue (because of me) and 1 barbacoa. We also ordered horchata mexicana. We were not disappointed in the least. The tacos were so yummy and although they looked small, they were so filling. The menudo was also perfect. They also have a fresh salsa bar. I must warn you, their salsas and pickled veggies are super spicy. I like a lot of spice, but some of the salsas were like war in my mouth. I want to go back to get another tongue taco....or two. They were cooked perfectly that the tongue was super tender. read more

Yes you ordered at the Counter, pay at the counter and then the staffs will call your order etc etc. From the Menu featured above the Counter Wall, we ordered the following items : * Asada Smothered Burrito ($7.00) * Cabesa Taco ($1.75) * Barbacoa Taco (Lamb) ($2.00) * 2 Tacos Asada @ $1.75 each hence it was ($3.50) * 4 Extra Lechuga Queso @ $0.25 each hence it was ($1.00) * Mexican LARGE Bottled Coke Cola ($2.50) Yes, they have a SALSA Bar, but the Salsa they offer was somewhat lacking and limited. 3 STARS AT BEST. Burrito Smothered, ONLY comes with RICE & Cheese in it. Hubs like it but a little sad coz there is NO BEANS in the Burrito. *Hubs Sad Face* Just OK establishment to have Tacos and Burrito. Nothing stellar, nothing special to write about. This recent visit was on Saturday April 12th 2014. Time was about 19:50hrs ish. I already had Dinner somewhere else, but Hubs has NOT. Since Tacos DF is the nearest to where my last appointment were, to this Tacos DF we went. The server that evening who handled the transaction, and behind the counter at Tacos DF is Maritza. The Dinner with tax was $18.52. Tacos DF 2020 S Parker Road, Unit #N Denver, CO 80231 Tel : (303)-671-2986 @81/2014 read more

umm why did my tacos come bare? it was just chicken. I had higher hopes considering how these reviews were positive.

DTF $2 Barbacoa (lamb) tacos and Cabeza (cow head) was tender with good portion. Al Pastor was crunchy and fresh but did not come with the usual pineapples. The lettuce and cheese is a $.25 extra charge which I don't really care for anyways. The price is a bit more than other small taco joints but the service was fast with plenty of seating. Next I will try me some home made chichaaron Gordita. Menu is pretty extensive with posole, menudo, Pambazos, Tortas, and Tamales. The salsa bar was lacking but the tacos were definitely street worthy. read more

One of the better hole in the wall places I have found in Denver for Mexican food, and it's tiny too, seats maybe 20 people or so. The staff seem friendly, I'm sure they would have been a little more friendly had there not been a language barrier. The food was good though, I got 3 tacos; beef, pork, and chorizo and my wife got the 3 taquito platter. The tacos were very good, and loaded with meat. The taquitos were also good, I had a few bites it was one of the better ones she's had. Overall a pretty good place, small menu but you don't need much more at a Mexican restaurant. read more

Tacos DF - Chicken Taco Platter - Mexican Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Ok so the food is pretty bomb!! First the staff dpeaks close to no English so come in prepared if you can. Also, there is a $5 minimum if you're using a credit or debit card. Ok so the menu is pretty clear cut they have tacos, burritos, tortas, quesadillas and drinks. The menu is in Spanish as well so again come in with some Spanish under your belt or don't and just try to order anyways! This night I was with my family so we ordered different things. Our kiddo ate a burrito de pollo (chicken burrito) and the wife and I bought tacos. I had tacos de frijoles and arroz (weird but so good). My wife got tacos de asada. Now to get salsas and toppings there is a small bar cart. It had at least three salsas, cilantro, onions, etc. available for your food. We got the avocado creamy salsa and the red salsa along with the chopped onions and cilantro. Everything was so good!! I definitely will come back. The place needs a little touch up inside, you can tell it's been here a while. The food is served on styrofoam plates so I would like to have seen more traditional appeal. But either way the food is great!! Happy Yelping! read more

Walked in and there's only two other customers who are already eating. Stood at the counter waiting to order. The lady at the counter made eye contact with my husband and I multiple times but her conversation with her coworker was more important. So we just turned around and left. Also all their prices are more. Add $2-$3 to everything on the menu. Wack. There's better tacos nearby with much better service from the staff. read more

I wasn't impressed. The tacos were packed with meat, but the meat wasn't good. I wish I could describe the flavors better, but the best I've got is that everything just tasted old. Skip the horchata as well as it was very powdery -- not cinnamon. It was very busy, so perhaps I don't know what I'm talking about. This just wasn't the place for me. read more

4 stars from me, but my wife would only give it 3. Went there because Jason Sheehan of Westword wrote about it twice. Saturday lunch and the place is busy with many Mexicans and their offspring enjoying the delicious food. I enjoyed the torta jamon. Exactly what i wanted and met all my expectations. The recorded music is great! But, then, I love all northern-Mexican music. Beer would be good. read more

Reading the negative reviews. I had a hard time understanding what happened with most of them. Step 1) look at the menu. Step 2) order tacos, I had Asada /chorizo/Lengua (If they f%#k these up, I would understand the negativity) Step 3) eat tacos. Reminded me of home, being away from California. Nothing fancy. Quick. Friendly. Food. read more

Holy fucking tacos! If you can't tell, I'm not Mexican. Nor am I a food authority. What I wanted: cheap-ass, good tacos. What my brother suggested: here. I was happy with them. Chorizo. Al pastor (ordered with lettuce and cheese). Barbacoa. All three were exactly what I wanted for lunch. It doesn't try to make itself out to be something else, and it was only recommended for tacos. We hit it at about noon, got served quickly, and quickly watched the lunch line grow (and a lot of togo orders get picked up...). read more
