    Carne Asada and Al Pastor!
    Erin S.

    When your bestie says tacos, you head to Tacos Selene, even at 9 in the morning. Trying out a new location, but the tacos still deliver and still as delicious as ever--two carne asada and an al pastor makes for a great meal, once again. This location is set up very nice offering spacious seating and is very clean. On the corner of Santa Fe and 10th, it's a fantastic location. You know it's a good place when a line forms before the business opens. Take note, first Saturday of the month they open at 10am instead of 8am. Also, read the labels on the salsa bar- they don't lie! Ha!

    Absolutely loved the food here. Super yummy and very much worth the price. The shredded beef tacos and the steak tacos were so yummy. The beans were also a large portion and yummy. The salsa bar was great as well. Would definitely recommend. Service was a bit slow but the ambiance was nice.

    Yummy food & quick service. I asked and they are a sister location to the original store in Aurora with a slightly smaller menu. Clean colorful dining area. Good choice of food items with a salsa bar and soft drinks. I got 3 soft tacos (Adovada, Carnitas and Chicharron) on doubled corn tortillas. I added a Jarritos Lime. I visited the salsa bar. I got a sample of their Pico de Gallo and Selene - hot. Very freshly prepared food and salsas. They have a men's & women's restroom. Limited parking on Santa Fe Drive, but can park in the buildings parking garage for free.

    Cool spot inside - graffiti and big chandeliers The tacos are cheap $2.50/each but of course they are small! I had the pollo and he had buche (pork stomach) and al pastor - he liked it. Had a fun fresh salsa bar but I accidentally had some red onion and habanero and it blew me up- my fault though

    Authentic tacos at a great price! I came here on a Sunday at lunch time and we walked right up to the counter and were immediately served! The restaurant was casual, not super crowded, and plenty of open seats. I got the pork with pineapple, pork, and barbacoa. The barbacoa was definitely my favorite, although all of them were good! The tacos are $2.50 each and three of them filled me up. However some people might need four to fill you up, as they are small. The tortilla as double stacked so they don't break. They have a fresh salsa bar, but beware as the pickled onions are very spicy! Can't wait to come back and try a burrito!

    Tacos for breakfast after a late night out. Yes, please! Tacos Selene does tacos right--simple, flavorful, and cheap! I've been to the OG location on 6th & Chambers, but this was my first time at the one on Santa Fe. Different vibe but same excellent quality food and service. They open at 8:00 am (except on the first Saturday of the month, at 10:00 am). Colorful murals and neon signs adorn the pink and green walls with starburst lighting. There was a line of people waiting to get in and order. My trio of tacos was great. Carne asada is still my favorite, and I love all the options at the salsa bar. It's nice they have the salsas labeled at this location because the pickled onions with habanero were muy picante!

    This place was such a pleasant surprise! On our trip we stopped by Tacos Selene since it was located super close to our Airbnb and everything here was super solid! I loved the chicarrones tacos and the steak tacos. The horchatas were delicious as well! My favorite thing was the sauce bar, they've got so many delicious sauces that you can grab yourself as well as all the necessities for the tacos.

    Tacos Selene delivers high quality food at a reasonable price, in fast order and in convenient locations. This Tacos Selene is similar to the others, just roomer. The Tacos are absolutely the BOMB! The salsa bar -- a perfect accompaniment to any meal you choose. No frills, no fuss, just good food. Friendly people.

    Barbacoa sope
    Heather T.

    The hubs and I wanted to give this a try for a little while so put it at the top of the list the next time we were in the area. I went with the barbacoa sope and got two. They were decent sized but not too big. The shell was a little crispier than I've had and I prefer a slightly softer sope. But the meat was seasoned really well and the salsa bar had some awesome salsas. My husband got street tacos / barbacoa, asada and carnitas. They again were the perfect size and fit the ticket. Service was fast and friendly. The other patrons were construction workers which is a really good sign of the food.

    I was very excited to try Tacos Selene as I have seen it in several lists for best tacos in Denver and has been recommended many times. I think it just got over hyped... I am always okay with Americanized Mexican food but if you are claiming to be a full on Mexican restaurant, then the expectation is very high. Anyways, Service: It's counter service and everyone that helped me pun was very nice. Ambiance: Very low key. There's a salsa bar which is well stocked and has delicious salsas. Specifically, the green one. Other than that, it is a very casual restaurant. The focus here is obviously on the food. Food: Honestly, meh. Maybe it's on me as I didn't try the tacos and got some sopes instead. I tried the pastor, carne asada, and pulled pork. They were all okay - nothing amazing and with so many new options out there, I feel like there's better places. I will give it another try to actually try the tacos and we will see.

    Nice and clean, good service, affordable and delicious food! We got carne asada tacos and quesadillas. Definitely would eat here again!!

    I've been looking for a good, inexpensive street taco place for so long and am SO happy that I have found one. This place is clean and with an incredible salsa bar (to include pickled carrots/jalapenos/onions AND pickled habanero red onions)! Their street tacos currently run at $2 each. I had the barbacoa and al pastor, which were both incredible! Just a heads up that this location is limited to street parking!

    Overall: Alma Fonda Fina lives up to its hype. It serves delicious elevated Mexican food and is…read morereasonably priced for a Michelin star restaurant. This is the Michelin restaurant that you go to if you like a more casual / less stuffy experience. Food: 4 Every dish that we ordered was delicious, but slightly on the heavy side without anything light/acidic to break it up. Perhaps it's because of what we chose to order though! Frijoles Puerco: This was a play on refried beans and chorizo. The chorizo has a little kick to it. The sourdough tortillas were delicious and served fresh and warm. Callo De Hacha Al Horno: The scallops were a flavor bomb served in a serrano ponzu and tomato butter. I'm unsure why the scallops were cut into smaller pieces instead of left whole... Enmoladas De Pollo: This was essentially chicken enchiladas cooked in mole so I was skeptical if I would find this dish worthwhile. They proved me wrong as this was one of the best dishes of the night. The mole was flavorful, not too heavy, and the chicken enchilada was so well cooked. Birria De Borrego: The lamb shank was cooked until it was fork tender. After taking it apart, wrap it in a fresh and warm tortilla with refried corn beans and salsa. The lamb was well cooked and made for a good balanced bite, but it did feel special. Service: 5 We set at the chef table and was able to watch as they finished and plated each dish. The chef was attentive without being overbearing/annoying and we had a good conversation with him. Food came out at a good pace. Ambiance: 5 The restaurant is small and cozy. It didn't feel stifling or pretentious as other fine dining restaurants can sometimes feel. This would be perfect for a date or dinner with friends.

Others in my party might not have felt that way. But nonetheless they enjoyed the entire experience. It felt like everything we ate (at first) was pretty spicy. But by the end, the spice level was coming down. Some of the highlights, the sweet potato, the sourdough tortilla with the chorizo burrito. The scallops. The cod. The birria. The mushroom quesadilla. So, pretty much all of it! I enjoyed everything that I ate! I'm interested to come back for happy hour, since they have a few different plates on that menu. For dinner, I'll keep it reserved for special occasions. Try and get a reservation, I think you'll enjoy yourself, if you appreciate craft cuisine. Good job, Alma Fonda Fina Team!

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!
