    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

    al pastor, pollo, carnitas, barbacoa tacos. everything was DELICIOUS!

    quaint little spot that was a good stop in! seems like a local staple in Denver, would definitely come back. the salsa bar seems to be the hit!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Incredible tacos, they have a really big salsa bar as well. I've also enjoyed their breakfast burritos and quesadillas. 10/10

Ended…read moreup going on a Monday afternoon and were able to seat outside as it is first comes first in their patio area- the patio area is awesome and a good spot to people watch- you still get the same menu as inside. That being said, the food seems very basic on the menu but it is SO INCREDIBLE! Cannot recommend the sweet potato enough and ceviche (ask for chips). If this place wasn't always booked I would be going every week. We were there for a birthday celebration and they brought our mezcal shoes for us. We felt taken care of and loved every minute of it. They also have a happy hour to look out for!

    This was a delicious spot for Mexican food! I heard about Alma Fonda Fina months in advance of our…read moreDenver trip, which was thankfully enough time to snag a reservation. This place fills up 60 days in advance, without fail! When we arrived, we were able to get parking about a block away on the street. We were soon greeted and guided to our seats upon walking in. This is a very small restaurant - only a few tables, not many options for big groups, and some bar seating both inside and outside. I can see why the reservations are in such high demand! We were recommended to get 4-5 small plates, so we decided on the Guacamole Alma, Burrito de Frijoles Puerco, Apache en su Jugo, and Enmolada de Pato. We also shared the hibiscus margarita and Mex 75. The drinks came out first - the hibiscus margarita was so refreshing, light and delicious! We weren't as big fans of the Mex 75 - but if you like smoky drinks this is the one for you. The guacamole came out first - it was tangy and tasty. I will say that the other dishes were a lot more unique. The burrito was a standout - we absolutely loved the homemade sourdough tortilla, one of the best we've ever tasted. The chorizo filling was savory and tasty. The Apache en su Jugo was unique and had a lovely flavor - if you are a beef tartare fan this is a wonderful dish to try! The enmolado de pato came out last and we thoroughly enjoyed the mole and flavor. This is definitely worth checking out. I will say as a Houston native we have several restaurants with similar flavors and slightly lower price tags and wait times, so I am a bit spoiled in that regard. But all in all the service is wonderful, it's a pleasure to try so many different and unique dishes, and the joy of snagging a reservation is worth it!

We went on…read moretaco Tuesday and had no problem getting bar seating (or there were a few tables available) around 5pm but I noticed after 6pm people were waiting for seating. 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!

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.
