Roberta M.

This is definitely a hidden gem! We were in town visiting our son who has been there many times. Lorena, the waitress/owner was super sweet! The food was excellent! Lorena's husband cooks all the meals. The prices are great and the portions are perfect! The place is bright and cute! It's family friendly! We will definitely go back!

Spicy shrimp
Ed G.

The atmosphere is a mix of industrial; Mexican decor; and tacky, tapped, HH promotions. We were warned the spicy shrimp dish required access to a fire extinguisher. It delivered fire - via, my guess, dynamite green chili powder. The small serving size, itty-bitty shrimps, and dirth of flavor left me wishing I had ordered something else. The house margs were too sweet. What gives with the plastic, pink pitcher? Visually unappealing. The tequila was 100% agave. The chorizo won best of plate. Great seasoning. They serve breakfast items, too. I would definitely order eggs and chorizo. The incredibly small serving of guacamole saved us from having to eat bland, funky avocado. The price value for this appetizer fails the reasonable person test. Never again. The smothered crispy relleno was saved by topping it with chorizo. Way too costly for the quality and quantity of the food. Adios Tacos El Huequito. One and done.

Tortillas de maiz
Noe M.

Hidden place in Denver. The food was delicious and full of flavor. The service could have been a bit better, we were the only ones here at the time. The restaurant had a good vibe and also good music playing in the background. Honest review- good eats, location could be improved.

Homemade chips and salsa.
Shana G.

Friends and I enjoy trying restaurants we've never tried before. I can't wait to come back. The neighborhood is changing drastically. I would suggest visiting before the neighborhood takes over, and you'll be on a wait list. The first impression is the chips and salsa. Homemade chips were light and crispy. We ordered more. The Mexican corn was so delish that we ordered a second round. Chilaquiles was full of flavor. The green chili is vegetarian and tasty. I ordered the Barbacoa plate. It was a lot of food. Loved the flavors. I want to go back before word gets out how amazing this place is. Parking is off the street, and if they're busy, it's spars. Support small and local business. I wish them all the success. They were super kind.

Al pastor Huequito Burrito with the green Chile sauce
Alyssa H.

Service was fantastic. Ambiance - welcoming, clean. Owners- friendly. Food- I would probably give 3.5 stars based off of food alone. The green Chile sauce on top of my burrito was more of a butter sauce which is different than anything I've ever had on Mexican food and personally I would never order again on top of my food. It was overwhelming and made my belly feel ick since I do not eat that much butter so I couldn't eat much of my meal. Later I had bubble guts so did my partner who also had the Chile sauce on their meal. But to be fair, the owner let me try it in a little dish before I ordered it but I guess it's good in small quantities like dipping a chip in it. The Al pastor was tougher than I'd like or expect- it was small chunks. The chorizo was good! Chips, queso and salsa were amazing.

Menu
Emily M.

Ok so my friend and I were wanting Mexican food and found this spot. They just opened this location in a new apartment building - don't be turned off though it's clean, open, airy, and the people are so friendly! They have a big menu with a wide variety of options. I love that they put beans in their burritos too - the veggie burrito with beans was so good! The tortilla was grilled perfectly. My friend got a few different tacos, including chorizo and barbacoa. The latter was her favorite. The complimentary chips and salsa were clearly freshly made with spicy salsa. If you're in the neighborhood, give this place a try. It's phenomenal!

O. M. G. this place is amazing. We were so happy to have stumbled upon it. Parking lot is a little tight. They do have indoor seating + takeout. We got 2 varieties of the burritos and both were delicious. Try the el huecito- it is smothered in a spicy sauce. Stuffed with fries meat cheese and even comes with avocado free of charge! The el huecote was delish as well - had fries as well but more of your standard burrito. The al pastor was my favorite. We tried that as well as the carne asada. Both were good! You must get the homemade hot sauce here - delicious. It seems like they sell it as well. The couple that owns the restaurant is so sweet! We will definitely be back!

I Ordered chicken and shrimp burrito.... I have no doubts it'll be bomb!

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 had heard about this place. I just moved in a few minutes away and decided to come try it at…read morelunch-- I'm so glad I did. It's absolutely authentic, but with an elevated menu that really delivers. We got the chip trio, but you almost wouldn't need it since they have a full salsa bar, including endless pico de gallo and sour cream. But the chips are thick and crunchy and delicious. I tried the taco de birria de chivo (goat) and was truly blown away. The meat is so tender and seasoned so well, you can taste the allspice in it, which is perfect for goat, and so unique to Mexican food. I also tried the al Pastor and the Carne Asada, both were also to die for. I love how they make the taco have a little bottom and give it three sides, to help us fit all the generous portion that they give. They also have several different Agua Fresca's, that you serve yourself and get unlimited refills, including Horchata. It's amazing. I've already come back another time since.

WHAT TO ORDER | Kiki's Red Tacos…read more This one was a HIT. We're already planning our next trip back. Here's what we ordered: Birria & Cheese Tacos + Consommé -- The must-order. Crispy, cheesy, packed with birria and even better dipped in that consommé. Trio Dip -- Perfect for the table and a great way to start. Carnitas Quesadilla -- Crispy, cheesy and absolutely delicious. Spicy Margarita -- Because tacos + a spicy marg just make sense. And the ultimate review? Kid approved. My kids were literally drinking the consommé straight from the container. If that doesn't tell you how good it was, I don't know what will. THE PICKY B RATING: OBSESSED I'd go out of my way for it -- and apparently so would the kids.

I've had almost everything on the menu and have yet to be disappointed. Their drinks are excellent and fairly priced. The daily specials and happy hour deals make this place even more appealing. A friend and I came for taco Tuesday about while ago and we didn't pay attention to the cost, then later before we were finished eating, the manager came over to say the new person who rang us up didn't price the tacos correctly and offered us some drinks and churros to make up for it. They definitely could've gotten away with it, but chose to be honest and upstanding about it instead! There is usually plenty of seating but the bar and tables can fill up especially around dinner time, but people usually don't stay too long. It can be a little loud, but this is my favorite fast casual spot in the area by far. The only thing to be aware of is they include an 18% service charge even though all they do is bring your food out, but the prices are still very reasonable.

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.
