Tacos Selene is a hidden gem near Denver Downtown!! It was located in one of the busy lanes over looking the beautiful downtown. As I walked in around 4 pm with family, we were the only ones in and then as the day progressed, more people came in for an early dinner! Clean, little rustic looking, Walls filled with fun graphics, kind staff, fun looking bathroom signs (women's) is how I will describe this restaurant. We ordered tacos - al pastor, carne asada, chicken, shredded beef, Adobada (pork without pineapple) and smothered marinated pork Burrito. Loved all the dishes and the clear winner for us was the Adobada meat (marinated pork). Every single bite was flavorful, juicy and tender. The seasoning was just right without it being overpowering. Both the Tacos and the gooey Burrito were filled with lots of meat - honestly, it was simple and satisfying without it being too greasy. Pricing was very affordable for the food portions and the food quality you get here. This is definitely an authentic spot you want to visit whenever you are in the mood to eat Mexican food - simple high quality food. Highly recommended and a spot I will always return to whenever I visit Denver next time. read more

Food was good not to spicy. Chicken tacos slightly under seasoned. Steak tacos definitely some of the better ones that I have had. Very popular place with local residents. The staff was friendly and polite. One side had great natural light when one side was a little darker. Vivid painting on one wall but honestly we are here for the food. At the level that I would come back again but not at the level to make it one of my regular places. The salsa bar would be a complete waste on Ryan because of his sensitive tummy. Food came out suspicious fast for really fresh food. read more

I'm obsessed with this place, my favorite place for a breakfast burrito in the western littleton area. Food is prepared quick and staff is very friendly. The burritos are reasonably priced. The inside is your standard down and dirty (not really dirty) local mexican place. There is normally plenty of seating but it sometimes gets busy. I love that they have a topping bar with salsas, pico, limes, and more for your street tacos. I also love the Al Pastor. The queso is not great though, it tastes like just your basic nacho cheese sauce. read more

nachos use velveta type cheese. mediocre at best. Reminiscent of 711 nachos but with a higher price read more

It's better but now feels pretty commercial. The food is not bad and the prices fair. If you want to grab a fast taco of burrito this is a solid choice. Make sure to hit up the condiments bar or you will be missing out on a lot of flavor. read more

The best tacos of my life! I live in CA- and I can't believe that the best tacos I've had are here in Aurora. Everything about the tacos is perfection- 1. The tortilla is absolutely delicious on its own, I am a great cook and this tortilla elevated the taco experience. The meats- all of them so flavorful and good, the veggies are all crunchy and the salsas are 100 on my list. I think these are better than tacos el gordo in Tijuana, or any other tacos I have had in LA and OC - to help you give you a reference. read more

We enjoy this authentic Mexican restaurant. The atmosphere is lackluster, but the food is great. Service is friendly, but food comes out a bit slow. I also wish they had bigger containers for the salsa as I had to wait behind a guy who was filling 20 of them. That, or have some pre-filled that we can quickly grab as everyone seems to be gathered around the salsa/condiment bar. Try this place! It's a gem in the food desert of Littleton. read more

This place hasn't failed me yet. It's maybe considered a hole in the wall--but overall great service and delicious food for decent price. They always have fresh salsas too. Always end up getting food here if in the Littleton area. read more

Chicken tacos are delicious and salsa bar is amazing! I love the vegetarian burrito too.

We wanted to try a new taco spot and decided to ordered tacos Selene to go. My husband got the smothered burrito which was seriously massive! The green chile was really good. I ordered beans, an adobada taco, barbacoa taco, al pastor sope and carne asada sope. My favorite was the barbacoa taco. I had high hopes for the sopes bc I hadn't had one in so long but they were just okay. If I went back I would definitely order the barbacoa again! read more

Street style tacos were amazing! We loved all the meat choices we selected -chicken, carne asada, al pastor. Would go again if we are back read more

So-so tacos. Decent for the suburbs, but seriously lacking when compared to taquerias on Federal. The breakfast burritos are terrible! You can get a better breakfast burrito at any gas station in town. See photo of the 1/2 egg burrito I was served today. This was the driest breakfast burrito I've ever been served. You could get a better breakfast burrito at a gas station in Ohio. read more

Great street tacos. Best deals on taco Tuesday. Pork is spicy so just a warning. Everything else is very tasty and delicious. Gets busy so be patient. read more

10/10!!!! Will most definitely be my go to place now. The service was quick and fast, but the food... OOOOOH TO DIE FOR GOOD . Order the carnitas street tacos and thank me later! read more

Cheap fatty food! This place went way downhill now I remember why I never came back to it. It used to be good. All of meat is super fatty and cheap! Will never return again! read more

Have eaten here a couple of times. Pretty easy access from 470. The smothered burrito is good, for me, probably tied for third across the Denver region. The tacos are fine. The staff is friendly. The salsa bar is impressive. Glad to see their health scores have improved since last year. read more

Great food, cool hidden gem, street tacos worth the hype and a friendly staff! The salsa bar is a nice touch.

Great Mexican food, street tacos amazing, and impressive salsa bar. Pico de gallo has some heat but delicious. Quesadillas are insanely good as well. Haven't had a thing I haven't really enjoyed but the Barbacoa tacos are incredible. Service is great and friendly. I grew up in San Diego and have a passion for Mexican food and this replace reminds me of there. Keep doing what you do Tacos Selene! read more

Best tacos I've had since I moved out of LA. Absolutely amazing. Can't wait to come back.

Came in on Tuesday- $1.50 per taco. They also have a salsa bar with pickled onions, roughly 10 salsas, & jalapeños. For $3 you can't beat it. The salsa was incredible, the giant jalapeños made the tacos exactly what I wanted. The tacos were big and filling. Will be back! read more

Just wanted to update, 3 years later and a move across town, this is still one of my favorite places to get Mexican food. Staff are always nice and welcoming! Prices have increased a bit but I still think it is very reasonable. They have a great salsa bar that is definitely give you the heat if you want it! Burritos & the tacos are still full of flavor and great portion sizes for the price! ($2.50/taco; $10 for my all time favorite lengua burrito) I honestly prefer this location over the one in Aurora. The food seems more fresh here, they have not missed a beat with it. The horchata is okay, not overly sweet but not my favorite. read more

Been coming here for a couple years. 3 stars for what it is. The 4th star is for what it used to be and what it could be again.

We stopped here kind of randomly for a quick lunch and enjoyed it. Great tacos, refried beans and rice. Simple clean atmosphere, good service with smiles. Seemed like a place with a steady lunch crowd. Nothing extraordinary but really quite good. We would definitely go again. read more

One of my favorite things about this place is the variety of both meat & salsa options! It's hard to find tripas & buche but this place not only has them, but they know how to do it! I ordered a burrito & a few tacos with an array of meats. I ordered at the restaurant & I did not have to wait too long. MUST visit! read more

Not sure how this place got such good reviews but the first time trying it was not good. Maybe needs a second chance. Service was really good and quick! Ordered 5 tacos from asada, pastor, and lengua. All were really dry, not much flavor, and salsas were really underwhelming :( read more

The food was amazing! We ordered a ton of the beef, pork & chicken varieties to share at work work rice & beans. Our server got out order 100% correct & on time for our pickup. We did carry out, but noticed it's a cute little place. The salsa was to due for! Best office lunch in forever! read more

What is it about taco joints in strip malls that make them so delicious?!?! It's definitely not the fact that they're inevitably sandwiched between a check cashing store and a nail salon. Guessing it's just because the people that run it are REAL. Tacos Selene hits the mark on this, definitely in a non-descript strip mall in Littleton but come here at lunch on a weekday and it's packed, always a good sign. Got to try 4 different tacos and all of them were terrific. The tripe was not too salty and was perfectly crunchy. The Al Pastor had amazing flavor and just the right amount of pineapple to juice it up. The asada was perfect and the carnitas were well flavored and just slightly crispy, which in my opinion makes them perfect. The service was good, nothing spectacular but if it was it would be weird anyway. The ambiance is what you would expect, a legit taco joint in a strip mall, don't expect waiters with diapers over their arms is all I'm saying... read more

Really high quality Mexican food for not a ton of money. Love their burritos and tacos.

Great price, service and food! I'm sad I don't live closer to this place! The tacos were well seasoned and tasted great!

Good food if you stick to burritos and tacos. I made the mistake of ordering nachos thinking it would be a load of melted cheese with toppings but it was the gross nacho cheese you'd see at a high school football game concession stand. Hardly anything you'd expect to receive at a restaurant and definitely not worth the money. We sat down to eat and a woman who worked there came over and spent the whole time we were eating sweeping around our table and dragging metal tables around (like nails on a chalkboard), repositioning the dining room. She was on her phone while she was doing it and seemingly unaware (or straight up didn't care) that she was sweeping mere inches away from where we had food on tables. I don't know - we don't go for the ambiance but just felt really let down by the food and the service this time around. On a positive note, my husband loves the lengua burrito! read more

I ordered two chicken tacos. They were small and unattractive. I found the salsa bar and added some pico to give them color and flavor. Not a fan. read more

Very good food and prices. Definitely in the running for best chicken quesadillas! A no-brainer for quick, tasty and affordable.

This is our favorite place for tacos. You cannot beat the prices. Every time we're craving Mexican, we consider a new place but then we end up here. I love the sopes especially. read more

the Barbacoa tastes like beef stew. i get people of pale decent cry about spice but come on.... chips are very good tho!!

Tacos Selene has good food. The reason for my review is that their rules are too rigid. We wanted breakfast burritos, however that is not an option after 10 AM. We also wanted chorizo tacos, however they deemed chorizo as a breakfast ingredient. They have all the ingredients in house and could make them, but choose not to. Many of the Taquerias that we frequent have late hours and offer the entire menu all day. People like breakfast food at all times of day, and not everyone works 9 AM to 5 PM. read more

Asada and carnitas tacos were winners. Everything was very fresh and flavorful. Will definitely be back!

5/6/2020 they are open for takeout orders. They have established a nice order window and their food is still as amazing. Please support your local businesses and give these guys a try. You will not be disappointed. This place is amazing! And I am glad they decided to come to this side of town because it is so hard to find true authentic Mexican food anywhere near Littleton. We didn't try everything on the menu yet, however we tried the tacos and they were delicious! We even got the opportunity to meet the owners and they are such wonderful people. They do sell tortas, tacos, burritos and also pupusas. Check out the salsa bar with a verity of different salsas and toppings to elevate your tacos to the next level- from mild to hot, it satisfies every preference. Will definitely go back for some more Mexican delights. read more

When I first started coming here it felt really hole-in-the-wall. I really need to start trying their other menu items but I keep coming back to their tacos 'cause these are the best street-style tacos in town. Trust me, I'm from Southern California and South Denver didn't know what a good taco was until Tacos Selene pulled up in town. It used to be only Latinos who ate here but now they've gotten a lot more popular. Prices have gone up a little bit since, but they're still reasonable. This place is also home to the best Mexican horchata in town. It's the creamiest I've ever had; you can tell it's made with real rice, not like, from a mix or anything. They've also got decent pupusas but their curtido could pack a bit more punch. This place is one of my favorites in town and extremely underrated. read more

I'd rate four stars if the service was good. I phone ordered for pickup and when I got there it was busy - dinner time. As I stepped up to the register, the cashier answered the phone and spoke with somebody on the other line for at least 3 minutes and didn't even acknowledge I was standing there. This wasn't a phone order, apparently a personal call because she was smiling while speaking. She had a non-friendly scowl and spoke something inaudibly when she finally hung up and acknowledged I was there. The burrito was good, but not a good value considering the service. read more
