I visit Tacos Selene almost weekly. Their tacos never disappoint. I've tried the asada and pollo tacos with all the fixings and it was delicious. The price is good for the amount of food you get. The service is quick and staff is always friendly. The self-serve bar with the optional toppings is where they lose a star. I've seen people use the same tongs for all the toppings and even reach in with their hands. I'm often deterred from getting anything from that area because of this. read more

I recently ate at taco Selene it's a little hole in the wall taco spot in Aurora and I really enjoyed this place. I got the house special fish taco and the chicken taco and a chicken sopes and everything was seasoned so well! just overall good cooking and their salsas paired very well with the tacos and they have a variety. We also tried the Jamaica drink. It was good. I wish the flavor was a little bit stronger, but I did like that. It wasn't overly sweet. read more

Yum! Everything you've heard about it is true- best tacos in Aurora. The end. Whatever they use to marinate the meat is absolutely divine. Carne Asada taco was melt in your mouth delicious. The Al Pastor taco has a sweet and tangy taste. It pairs well with everything. The salsa bar is a serve-yourself-delicious treat with fresh ingredients and superb spice. Service is super fast with tacos coming out about 4 minutes after you place the order. The dining area offers many seating options. Love and will be back again. At $2.50 per taco, it's a true steal. read more

Without even thinking about it, we rolled up on a Tuesday and enjoyed the special of $2 tacos for taco Tuesday. And my husband kept saying "I should have ordered more." All of the tacos were SO good. Great prices, impressive time to readiness, kind staff. And most important - DELICIOUS! There's also a salsa/toppings buffet bar that has some tasty sauces and pickled veggies! read more

Tacos Selene - Pollo - Chicken and Alpastor - Pork with Pineapple - Mexican Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

I'm from California and grew up in a predominantly Mexican neighborhood...so trust me when I say that this restaurant is LEGIT! The prices here are some of the best around! $2.50 for a taco ($2 each for Taco Tuesdays), and $9 a burrito or quesadilla. They serve authentic, genuine flavors and there's a self-serve salsa/condiment bar with lots of great options. This last time around, I ordered 2 tacos de bucce (cheek) and a carne asada burrito with sour cream. My tacos were very flavorful and paired very well with the habanero/orange salsa. My burrito was absolutely delicious and so filling! It's packed very thick and I had plenty of leftovers. This is my new go-to Mexican food joint and I look forward to returning! read more

This place wasn't for me. The order was delivered promptly and I enjoyedthe music. That's pretty much all the pros. The place isn't as clean as I'm accustomed too. I ordered tacos. The meat didn't taste of quality, salsas were lacking flavor and watered down. The tortillas weren't crispy and were a little soggy. read more

I went here on a recommendation from a friend, and I told him I wasn't sure if I wanted to curse him or thank him because this place is addictive! This small business is in a strip mall off of 6th Avenue between Buckley and Chambers. Food is made to order and at $2.50 for tacos, cheap! The meat is flavorful, seasoned well, and tender. Served on corn tortillas with onions and cilantro, it can be eaten on its own--but if you want some spice (and I mean SPICE), head over to their salsa bar. Pickled veggies and lime as well as multiple fresh salsas await to accompany your tacos, tortas, sopas, burritos, or quesadillas. You can eat in the restaurant or get it to go. I will definitely be back soon for more! (I will try to wait at least a few days before my return, but that's going to be hard.) read more

Soooo good! The girl who took our order was so nice. Love the salsa bar! So many yummy salsas to choose from. I ordered the carnitas torta with extra jalapeño! The torta was so juicy (not dry at all) lots of flavor! The best part was the big chunks of jalapeño! The torta was so filling I couldn't eat it all. read more

Tacos Selene - Carnitas, Al pastor, chicken - Mexican Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

I was hoping for better food at this place. Nothing special. I ordered chicken burrito that tasted very one dimensional. I was really hungry and didn't care for it . Service wasn't the friendliest. Casual ambience. I won't return. read more

Tacos Selene has a pretty big menu so it was nice to have options. The place had a good amount of seating too and was fairly clean. The food though was just okay, I wouldn't go back for Mexican food here. The service was also okay, they were a little brisk with us but it seemed like they didn't want to be there not that it was our fault i guess lol read more

My wife had heard about Tacos Selene as a known place for quality tacos. While she had tacos and loved them, I'm more of a quesadilla guy so that's what I went for. I was very impressed. I chose the al pastor as the protein and it was juicy, flavorful and delicious. Along with great food, the service was quick and helpful. I guess the only possible criticism is that they don't have chips and salsa/queso which tends to be a Mexican food staple. But that was ok as we definitely didn't walk away hungry read more

No frills taco shop in Aurora. From all the taco restaurants I tried in Colorado, I like Tacos Selene the best. It totally gives the mom and pop shop vibes. You order from the counter first, they give you a number and then sit wherever you want. As you wait for your tacos, tortas or burritos, go to the salsa and condiments bar to grab the limes, 4 different types of salsa, sliced radishes, etc. It's my first time here but I definitely enjoyed the lengua and carne asada tacos. I can't decide which salsas were my favorite but the orange one definitely has a kick- to the point that I had to wipe my nose and all that lol. Will definitely be back and try the burritos & quesadilla! This might by my go-to taco place now :) read more

These might be the best tacos I've ever had. The service was so quick, that I was like, "these tacos aren't gonna be that good", and boy was I wrong. The meat was tender, well seasoned, and fresh. I would certainly go back. read more

Pretty spacious casual local taco shop with self serve sauce bar and soft drink dispenser machine. This is my favorite taco restaurant in Aurora for very affordable and delicious taco Tuesday. Fast food restaurant system to order at the register, they give you a card with number to hang up, and bring food to your table (so not really that much "service"). Green sauce is mild, orange sauce is medium, and brownish red sauce is pretty spicy. Strongly recommend the horchatta as must order drink! read more

On a rare outing in Aurora, we decided to check out the local culinary cuisine. As tacos are ALWAYS a good idea, we drove ourselves straight to Tacos Selene. I had the adobada, asada, and pastor tacos. All were DELICIOUS! If I had to pick, I'd say the adobada was my favorite. I love a good salsa bar and therefore, took samples of every single thing. The tacos are so flavorful that they don't really need anything extra, but I enjoyed the orange (hot) and the roasted green chili salsas. I also appreciated the pickled red onions. Always a nice addition. Our daughter had rice and beans and those were super yummy as well! She also had a fruit punch Jarritos. She was so excited to see the variety of flavors available. Hubs went rogue and ordered a burrito with asada, but enjoyed his too. All this for like, $26. Unbelievable! What a deal. We will likely not be back in the area, but if we are, we know where to get our taco fix. read more

I had a carne asada burrito. They did it right. It had carne, beans, rice, cilantro, and onions. It's rare to find this out here in CO. It's like someone down the line played telephone with the recipe and ended up on some BS. My dog had a chicken taco with nothing on it, she said it was dope. To top it off, the prices were reasonable. Definitely coming back when I'm in town. read more

Taco Selene in Aurora is the kind of no-frills family joint where the décor is "tables exist" and the tacos do all the talking. I ordered al pastor, asada, and adobada, and every one of them slapped--perfectly seasoned, juicy, and gone way too fast. The salsa bar is homemade, super fresh, and as good as the tacos. And at $2.50 each!? One of the best deals in Denver, full stop. This place is dangerous in the "I might eat here three times a week" kind of way. read more

Without any doubt, Tacos Selene has the most delicious tacos in the entire city. Easy parking, spacious inside, clean and they have the nicest folks working there. Carne Asada is my go-to taco and I also enjoy barbacoa, and al pastor. Their condiment bar makes the experience that much better. Saludos! Muy sabroso. read more

Nothing more to say besides delicious and a great price!!!! Great find on my trip. Service is will and atmosphere authentic!

Comfortable and never fancy, just the way I want it. Pork burrito was delicious, plenty big portion, and great spices.

Have to say, don't get what the hype is about. Maybe I'm picky being from San Diego but I think there are plenty of better tacos and burritos to be had in Denver. The burritos were kind of skimpy and everything in it was underseasoned. And the carne asada was very poor quality, lots of gristle. Maybe I just hit it on an off day but I was not impressed. Maybe i'll have to stop by and try it again sometime. read more

I don't know if I stumbled in the hood but everyone knows that hood food is usually the best and today was Taco Tuesday!! $2.00 a taco, which I had 5 tacos. 2 carne asada, 2 chicken, and 1 al pastor. They had a salsa bar and I like to mix up the hottest hot sauce with the mildest one to give flavor to the taco. I really enjoyed my tacos and the price, the atmosphere not so much. It felt like the restaurant had never seen a beautiful black woman before and it showed with the staring from staff and patrons. With that being said, we got our order to go and we both enjoyed our meal. Thank you for the good food not so much for the service. My rating is based on the food only because if it were the other part it would've been a negative star. read more

The food is always so gooooood at Taco Selene! We went for lunch and of course there was a line that was almost out the door. We wanted to make sure that we got a chance to eat and get back to work so we ordered our food to-go. I had the Asada, Adobada, Alpastor, and the Tripe that I didn't get a picture of because I ate before I remembered! The place is chill. They have a salsa station that has all the delicious taco fixins and plenty of lime! read more

Arguably one of the best street tacos I've had so far here in Colorado. I had this for lunch on Friday at the suggestion of my coworker. I did not however, get to experience going into the restaurant myself to get the entire experience since I was overwhelmed with tasks after tasks at work. I got 4 carne asada tacos with extra cilantro and onion. I also got horchata to go with my food because the sweetness of the drink perfectly balanced out the salty spicy flavor of the tacos and salsa. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal. The meat were cooked nice and juicy. I loved that they had 4 different types of salsa for your tacos. 2 different types of salsa verde. One had more green Chile in it than the other. And 2 different kinds of salsa roja. The lighter red salsa is tangy and great flavor while the darker red one is spicy, a bit grainy, and not really much of a flavor to it just spice. The horchata had a perfect balance of sweetness. Not too bland or too sweet. The next time I'm craving some tacos I'm definitely coming here again. read more

Wonderful first visit to Tacos Selene! Stopped in on a cold and snowy Sunday and each of us tried 3 tacos, including the Carnitas, Asada, Al Pastor, and Barbacoa. Wow, were they all delicious!! Excellent savory flavour to the meats! Add in the salsa bar where you can choose from several salsas or other toppings such as pickled onions or jalapeños, or fresh lime. Excellent taco meal with fast service at a reasonable price. Don't anticipate much for ambiance, yet the location is very clean and comfortable. read more

Tacos Selene - Beef asada & Alpastor - Pork with Pineapple - Mexican Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

Great street tacos and salsa bar. At $2.50 per taco, it is one of the best values areound.

In ancient Greek mythology and religion, Selene (/slini/; Greek: pronounced [seln], meaning "Moon") is the goddess and the personification of the Moon. Denver Post did a March madness taco bracket in 2021 Selene came in second to Kike. I'll second what other yelpers are saying about this place, not the best but ok for the price. If your looking for a sit down experience, go to Los Dos Potrillos. They have menudo on the weekends and the salsa option here is great I like the Salsa Selene (orange) and the chunky Molcajete. The special Milanesa Torta also looks good. Lunch time line gets packed. They prefer cash payment because sometimes the credit card machine goes down.

Staple taco spot in Denver, reminds me of California and I always recommend peeps here

Almost 10 years later, they still dominate the taco scene. My delicious tacos came out literally as I sat down! This time around I tackled 2 buche, 1 carnitas and one al pastor. Total with diet coke $13 Recommend as the lobby is much bigger and still continues to provide a salsa bar. Upgraded to 5 stars as the tortillas are somewhat doradito. Mmmm read more

I love Tacos Selene and will continue to love this place as long as I live. I've been going here since I was in high school and they've always been consistent and they have grown so much and have multiple locations now. Their tacos are always good and freshly made and their quesadilla is good as well. I always bring my friends here and they all have loved it. My favorite tacos here are the asada(steak) and the barbacoa, their lengua(tongue) is good as well, don't be afraid to try it! You may like it. Their salsa bar is great and I love the assortment they have of the salsas so it fits anyone's taste! Give them a try! read more
