    We're not usually in this area but found this highly reviewed taco spot on Yelp. I really wanted to be wow'd but I'd rate it good, decent tacos. Prices were fair. Clean tables. Not sure I'd drive too far out of the way to return.

    Burrito Asada Bowl
    Alexa R.

    I hate to say it but this place was a huge let down. This isn't your average taqueria, this is a cafeteria style restaurant. We were not expecting that going on. As for the positives, the staff was extremely friendly, the restaurant was very clean inside, and it was fairly busy. As for the negatives, I got the Asada Burrito Bowl & the Asada was very overcooked and burnt. After two bowls & two beers it was basically $40 which felt like a lot. The quality of some of the food wasn't great (not sure how long the rice was sitting). Overall, this place was kind of a let down :( I feel really bad because it's a family owned business, but give it a try. It just personally wasn't for me.

    What a dope family owned spot!!! I had the pleasure of going this weekend with my hubby and friends that introduced us to this place, and wowowowwow talk about Flavor Town! We tried the tacos, and the quesabirria. I love that you can mix and match your protein options, giving yourself the chance to try all the meat options! The staff was really friendly, Jose helped us out and its actually his family that owns the shop! The consume to the quesabirria was my favorite part-- I could have drank it as a soup it was that tasty! I enjoyed their roasted jalapeno it was spicy and made my lips tingle(: We also tried their chocoflan and I enjoyed it! The wall art was dope and even has their family name on the hat, love the pride!! Oh and they have a Clean bathroom! Grateful to have a spot like this outside Denver! Cant wait to be back!!!

    You know when you drive past a place and you're like oh I should try that place and then a few days later you forget your lunch and then you realize it's a perfect time to try said place? Yeah, that was Tacos el Patron and I'm glad I did! Lots of choices, fast, fresh food, friendly & staff. I would recommend!

    Asada tacos
    Sara C.

    This is a must try if you're in the area! Stumbled upon this taco shop and found out they recently opened 3 months ago. I ordered two asada tacos and you could taste the quality in the ingredients. Hubby got 4 quesabirria tacos where you can mix and match the fillings. The quesabirria tacos were absolutely incredible. The service was great, very friendly, restaurant is super clean, and we will absolutely be back!

    I've been back a total of 4 times and each time is better than the last! The food has always been delicious but I mainly go for the chicken!! It's delicious and crispy every single time, paired with the rice/beans and salsa it's the perfect lunch/dinner combo. I've even tried their tacos and quesadillas and everything has been seasoned to perfection. Great place, I try to stop by every time I'm in the area.

    What a fantastic addition to south Denver near Park Meadows Mall!!! I ordered the 2 piece rotisserie chicken meal- she gave me a sample of the chicken and it was sooo moist and flavorful! For sides I had the pinto beans (again so flavorful) and the coleslaw. It also comes with choice of tortillas and choice of salsa- I had the flour tortillas and avocado salsa and medium red salsa. Sat here and made my own little tacos and it was so authentic and delicious. I'm from California and I miss this style of Mexican food! This is a family owned restaurant and they are so hospitable and excited to share their creations! The menu also includes burritos, tacos, quesadillas and nachos- can't wait to come back and eat my way through the menu! It will remind u of the El Pollo Loco chicken meals except this is more fresh and delicious!! Go and enjoy!

He didn't deserve any, We had to ask for water, salsa, rounds of drinks, a knife (which was never delivered) . We ordered tableside guac, he said it would be 10-15 minutes before he could do it. I knew he didn't want to do I did a time check, and 23 minutes later, no tableside guac, Marcus was often not seen at his other tables nor on the floor during this time, one might say he was missing in action. He had plenty of coworkers standings in the back area in front of the soda dispenser. He came to our table at 25 after and said it would be another 10-15 minutes before he could start the guac, and did we want it. 45 minutes for tableside quac? No. The tableside guac cart did not move the entire time we were thereabd one guy used it one time to make quac and then took it to a table I could not see. If you know Los Dos, that cart never collects dust, they are know for thier tableside guac; it is normally always in service. PATHETIC!!!! None of us will ever be back. We may not patronize the original location at Holly or Kipling and C470 again. This is NOT the Los Dos the family started years ago and that we fell in love with. Sad and pathetic! I heard they have a new bartender at the Holly location and the margaritas are aweful. Go to Caddy Snack Cantina, great service, food, drinks, and much better prices. And you aren't run out after having just at down. I gave this one star as the food was fine. Not great, but edible. Marcus was awful!!!!!

From the moment I walked in until the moment I left, I was consistently greeted, checked on, and even had the manager come over to introduce himself and see how everything was going. That level of hospitality really sets a restaurant apart. The service felt more like being welcomed into a friend's home than dining out, which was such a refreshing experience. The fajitas were very tasty and delicious--no complaints at all there. The toasted michelada was okay; I might suggest a salted or Tajín rim to enhance the flavor a bit more. The atmosphere had great Mexican vibes that I really enjoyed. Overall, thank you for a wonderful experience. I'll definitely be back!

The only downside was that bar service was a bit slow, but it was clear the bartender was working hard and handling a busy crowd on their own. Despite this, the margaritas were made to perfection! The queso blanco is delicious, the salsa is a bit on the runny and mild side, but overall, good.. especially with the fresh, house-made chips. I ordered the fish and shrimp fajitas, and while the seafood was cooked perfectly, the overall dish was a bit under-seasoned and left me wanting more flavor. That said, the menu has so many great options that I'd definitely come back and try something different. Overall, it was a good experience, and I'm looking forward to giving them another visit.

    Probably the worst Mexican restaurant in Colorado…read more We were greeted by a young red-haired hostess at the front, and unfortunately she seemed completely uninterested in her job or even seating us. It was a very poor first impression. After being seated, things didn't improve much. The staff working the bar and nearby tables were very short with us from the beginning and gave off the impression that they didn't want to be there. What made it worse was that the restaurant wasn't even busy at all. I ordered a michelada, and honestly it was one of the worst I've had. I've tried micheladas all over the Americas, and this one was terrible. I specifically asked for it to not be too spicy, was told "okay," and it still came out extremely spicy. I couldn't even drink it. For food, I ordered a burrito while my friend ordered fajitas and a quesadilla. The pictures looked great, but the food arrived cold. We had also ordered well before the two tables next to us, yet they received their meals at least 10 minutes before we did. The only positive part of the experience was the woman who brought our food out from the kitchen. She was very kind and welcoming, and honestly the best part of the restaurant. Back staff should probably be taking the orders. After our food arrived, nobody checked on us even once. We were never asked if the food was okay, if we wanted another drink, or if we needed water refills. The server only came back when it was time to pay. Walked by us multiple times and never took the time to stop to ask us how we doing. There was essentially no service throughout the meal. I will say the decor and atmosphere were beautiful. The restaurant did feel like a small piece of Mexico, which I appreciated. However, as a Latino, the hospitality and service did not reflect the warm and welcoming Latino vibe I expected. Overall: great decor, but the service and food were extremely disappointing. There are many other Mexican restaurants nearby offering much better experiences. This place seriously needs to improve its hospitality and customer service.
