    Tacos Al Pastor
    Meghan F.

    If you are looking for fresh authentic tacos, this is a great spot! The tacos al pastor are delicious, as are the house made horchata and other juice.

    This place has delicious tacos! Definitley my favorite al pastor in denver! Their homemade salsas are delicious (the green is my fave). I also love the quesadillas with either asada meat or al pastor. It is a clean place and the food is made fresh and pretty quickly.

    Bad tacos.

    These 12" tacos" were put together by me after Tacos Junior put a couple tortillas and random pieces of chicken, cucumber and lime?? It was horrific, I ordered TWELVE tacos and received 3. Will NOT be back. Horrible service and food. I am beyond disappointed.

    Go to for tacos. Lengua and Tripa our go to, along with their delicious Horchata!!!!!! Period. Open late! Go and get some!

    Tacos Junior Signage 1280 S Sheridan Location ~ September 18th 2011

    FINAL STOP aka The 4th Stop of Taco Rapture 2011. Sunday September 18th 2011. YES, this is indeed a MARATHON for TACO-GOODNESS. So, the rest of us, as the SURVIVORS for Taco Rapture 2011 came here. Time : 1410hrs Plenty of parking and seating area inside. This establishment seems empty. Is this a good sign or a bad sign? Perhaps it just the timing factor when I was there with the group. You order at the counter on the left wing of this establishment. They will call out your order. You can get your order at the right wing of this establishment. Since I am slightly stuffed from all the Tacos I had, I still opt for 2 Tacos, one, Taco Lengua ($1.65) and another Taco Tripas ($1.75). The service was prompt, efficent and fast since I got my Taco order less in 10 minutes after ordering. Yes the Tacos came out piping hot. I like the flavor but I dont like the sauce that they offer with it. Big Bummer. But I dont think I can give a fair judgement aka review coz I am already stuffed so I really really need to go back to this Taco Junior to give another chance and I hope my review might differ. Furthermore, they have some other dishes that I would like to try with Hubs. Not forgetting, the display of pastries, cakes galore that I SO wish I have that "extra" space in my stomach to devour them...

The sweet potato still my favorite dish, but I hand to day the queso funfido from the happy hour menu was a close 2nd. If you go 2-5pm, I can't recommend this enough. You have to get it. Same as my 1st time going, I love this restaurant for their great dishes and flavor profiles. I absolutely feel like I'm paying for the food, and not any atmosphere or showsmenship, which for me is an important factor when recommending a restaurant. Only small detail, we got the ceviche as our 4th dish. Given that is sweet due to the coconut milk, I feel this should have been last as a kind-of desert-like dish. Either way, still an absolute gem and must in town

The quality has never slipped and every menu change feels exciting and somehow even better than the last. The standouts are always the scallops and the sweet potato! Not ashamed to say I think about these two dishes all the time... And whatever fish they feature as a main is consistently incredible (it's been halibut recently). The chef's counter is hands-down the best experience. It's intimate and such a fun way to interact with the chefs. Also love that they offer an NA sparkling rosé! This is honestly pretty rare. This place deserves every bit of recognition and praise it gets. One of the most consistently exceptional dining experiences in Denver!!

The food was delicious! We got $2 chips and salsa off the happy hour menu and the queso con soyrizo (not on HH menu) which was served with warm tortillas. Honestly we probably didn't need all that because the tacos were so good I could've just filled up on more of the tacos, but still was a great meal! I ordered the lengua, pastor, and taco special (breaded shrimp). They were all so good. Think taco quality of a good street taco spot but with the ambiance of a cute tex mex bar. The bartender was great and made a solid marg ($8 on happy hour). You get a great deal on taco Tuesday but I'm sure you'd get great service and quality any day of the week!

    Good meal but a lot of work and hassle!…read more Very limited parking. Left side of the building are a few parking spots shared by several businesses. Good luck getting a spot. Then you are driving the neighborhood hoping to find a spot. Finally parked and walked to the restaurant. Host told me it would be 30 minutes but the actual wait was 50 minutes. Spend so much time parking and then waiting, at what point do you give up and leave empty handed? Restaurant is VERY LOUD. Finally got a table and ordered OFF MENU. Server agreed to substitute shrimp for my enchiladas and they were good! Fresh corn tortillas were the highlight. Ordered tres leches cake and enjoyed it too. Was a nice meal but just not worth all the hassle.

Ni tuyo means not yours. Experience ni tuyo. Pork belly tacos were insanely good. Also the rib molcajete. Those two items stood out. They feature original cocktails, thoughtfully invented.

A great way to leave your comfort zone and try whatever they are featuring for a reduced price. Their variety of curated mezcal is a great way to start and make progress on your mezcal journey. There is such a variety of mezcal that I believe there is something for almost everyone. Put your trust in their bartenders to guide you on the different styles and flavors. And finally, they are a huge part of the Colorado agave collective. Monthly agave tasting. The best way to learn and appreciate.
