Craving some tacos..
Nina C.

Really needed a good taco place to make my go-to and i think Tacos El Herradero is it! It's not in the best area but its corner is well lit and they have parking out front, it's a small place but lots of themed decor and upbeat music. A few tables which were full when i got there. Ordered my food to go and it took about 20 minutes to prepare everything but it was worth the wait! They have a toppings bar with little plastic to go ramekins and you can take whatever you need, cilantro, onion, lime, different salsas. Then they prepare the tacos naked and when you get home you load them up, keeping all the toppings fresh. Amazing idea. The staff taking your order and friendly and working hard. Deserve a tip. We had 7 tacos and a quesadilla and it was about $40 so very reasonable. Sadly i didn't get to take any pics of the food when i got home before my family scarfed it all down. But we Loved it, will definitely come back!

Thank you Yelpers for guiding an out-of-towner to this excellent hole-in-the-wall! I love a good breakfast burrito and they don't get any better than the $6 burros from Tacos El Herradero. Super friendly people, fast turnaround on the order and piping hot when I got 'em home!

Tacos 10/10 Mesera 10/10 Ambient 10/10 Excellent and worth the try. Quick service and super attentive. Come here for quality!

Taco al pastor.  I had three, but the one is all I could take a photo of because they were too good to wait!

We absolutely loved our experience here. The employees (server and cooks) were all so accommodating and friendly. They helped with anything we needed and recommended tamales when they heard me talking about them. The tacos al pastor were excellent. So juicy, with the right amount of grilled texture, flavorful from the marinade, and the pineapple always gives it that sweet finishing touch! Yes! And their home made salsas were yummy! The decor was a little lacking, but you're in and out very quickly and I would highly recommend ordering food to go after your meal because this place will stick with you and you'll want more!

Taco del pastor y un menudo
Alvaro P.

Los tacos al pastor con piña están muy deliciosos. El menudo es muy apetitoso y rico. La mesera es muy amable y tiene muy buenos modales. Se los recomiendo!

I ordered menudo and the menudo had hairs of a mans beard i used to love coming to this place after this experience never going back. Menudo used to be so good something changed it doesn't taste good at all dont recommend this place for menudo

Tres tacos

Super legit hole in the wall spot. Best lengua I've had in Colorado easily. Awesome salsa bar. Just an authentic Mexican place like you might find in la.

Barbacoa Taco and Tacos al Pastor Special

Saw this place on TikTok with the wrong name and prices, which I discovered once I arrived. They have .99 cent Al pastor tacos on Tuesday!!! I'm from Texas and have been looking for authentic tacos here in Denver and I'm so glad I've found them! I will most definitely be back. It's be great if they had pickled onion/cabbage too

Carnitas/Al pastor/ Steak tacos

Great authentic tacos!!! Street taco style, no frills just meat and tortilla. Condiments are on a self serve station Must try. I will be back

Al pastor & Carne asada

You have to plan ahead to eat here. You need a reservation and they get booked up the day the…read morereservation opens. It's worth the effort though because this is one of the best meals I've had in Denver. My husband and I shared: - Avocado Margarita - Pineapple Sour - Camote Asado - Enmolada De Pato - Quesadilla Frita - Pancita Pibil - Ceviche De Atun - Callo De Hacha Al Horno Everything was delicious. My favorite dishes were the ceviche, sweet potato (camote asado), and scallops (callo de hacha al horno). I find it strange that people complain that it's expensive because it's probably less than half the price of the other Michelin star restaurants in the city. I appreciated being able to try that level of food without the price point that you typically pay for a tasting menu at many Michelin star restaurants. I was surprised that their vegetarian selection was pretty small. I'm not a vegetarian, but our vegetarian friend wasn't interested in joining because there weren't many options. We'll definitely be trying their other restaurants!

We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner experience here. I made the reservation online 60 days out as…read morerecommended. We were in at 4:45 as that was the only space available on the day we could go, and it worked out great. We got one plate from the happy hour menu and the fun avocado margarita and the old fashioned were fine cocktails. The margarita was a popular item, quite a few tables had them. I'll have to try and make one when we get home to Kona! Our server was Fiona; she was a whirlwind helping a number of tables, but we thought she was excellent and it was fun watching the staff behind the counter creating magical plates. Smiles on all of them as they worked like a team that knew and liked each other. And the plates they made were indeed delicious. I won't drill down on what we had, everyone will choose their own favorites by the end of their meal. One of our criteria when travelling is to find unique dining experiences, and this hit the mark in every way. We left after five plates and cocktails with smiles and satisfaction. While I've seen some reviews point out it was expensive, I don't feel it was overpriced for what they offer. I'd recommend this to anyone and it was an easy uber from our hotel. Mahalo.

We had the green chile plate and the five taco platter with bison and lengua, with guacamole on top. My only quibble is that the bison needed more seasoning, it was a bit gamey like hamburger meat. The guac serving was generous and the corn tortillas were good. The chile was the best version of this dish that I've had. The staff were extremely attentive and kept our water full in the 90 degree heat. Food came out super fast. Price was very reasonable for the area.

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!

I grabbed a seat at the bar where the bartender was friendly and engaging. On a recent Wednesday at 7:15, the restaurant was packed. When I left around 8:30, it was still busy. That's usually the best review a restaurant can get. Loyal customers don't keep coming back out of habit. They come back because it feels like home. The all-day happy hour margarita for $9 certainly doesn't hurt. The second one arrives before you've had time to argue yourself out of it. I ordered the enchiladas with carne asada and their house mole. If you're expecting one of those intensely complex moles with enough ingredients to fill a pantry, this isn't that. Adelitas' version is comforting, approachable, and deeply homey. It tastes less like a culinary experiment and more like something your abuela has been making for decades. The carne asada was tender, the rice and beans were exactly what they should be, and every bite reminded me why comfort food never goes out of style. Before leaving, I made the smartest decision of the evening. Tres leches to go. I devoured it later at home while Netflix asked if I was still watching. The cake somehow manages to be light while completely satisfying. Don't skip it. Better yet, don't pretend you're saving it for tomorrow. Adelitas isn't trying to impress you. It's trying to feed you well, welcome you warmly, and send you home happier than when you arrived. Whether your abuela was Mexican...or Greek...you'll understand exactly what they're serving here.
