One of our Friday night go-to taco joints. Nestled in the highlands this is not only great for dinner but happy hour has great deals and often when they are the most busy. Everything is yummy. Enchiladas have this tasty red sauce Carne asada fries have the right compliment of fresh fried All the sliders are great. Love the shrimp and pollo agave for sure. Bang bang shrimp is less my thing here. Paloma's are a great happy hour treat. All the tacos sing to me The churros with cajeta are a must. Service is always great. Patio is open all year round and the chefs counter is a favorite too but not always open. This pace is always busy and the noise level can crescendo around 6:30. The bar and community tables are fun but less intimate. Highly recommended!! read more

I love tacos, I love tequila, and I love whiskey--so obviously I had to visit Tacos, Tequila & Whiskey in the Highlands. Spoiler alert: I love them now too. What I tried: Basically... the whole menu, but highlights included: Carnitas: Crispy roasted pork perfection. Cordero: Braised lamb with esquite--an elite combo. Queso Fundido: Made with tequila and chorizo, absolutely unreal. Hibiscus Margarita: My favorite sip of the night. The vibe? Fun. The food? Fire. The service? Fantastic. The prices? Super fair for what you get. Add this spot to your Denver rotation ASAP. read more

My tacos and tequila crew (yes, I'm being serious!) came by on a Friday afternoon to check out the spot for the last chunk of happy hour. Outdoor patio was bumping but indoors was quite quiet. Our server was lovely and someone always seemed to be around for water refills which is an A+ in my book. We heard great things about the queso and had to give it a try - did not disappoint! Super cheesy and delicious. Decent HH deals on margs but was bummed no taco deals. Margs were fine but nothing to call home about; the spicy one didn't have much of a kick. For tacos, I went with the hongos, birria, and fried chicken. Tortillas were great quality and tacos were very filling with yummy flavor. The massive chunk of fried chicken was sweet as a portion size, though very difficult to eat and would have liked to see it cut at least in half. On the whole, a really solid spot to grab some tacos and tequila - would not be upset to return by any means. read more

The queso with chorizo is to die for! Must get! The food is incredible. Love this place! read more

Think I've reviewed it before, but whatever. This place is insanely good and has a great HH menu too! Their tacos on hh are "sliders" and they're sooooo good. The nachos on happy hour were also super good, haven't had these before but the cheese was layered so well and every chip had a delicious bite - the Key to good nachos! The sliders were reaaaaaalllyyyy good. Make sure you get the birria slider, it's to die for! Service is always great and quick here! I get the purist margaritas, it's super super fresh and not too sweet at all! Love it! read more

Let's taco-bout it! The tacos, the service, the margaritas and the atmosphere were so good! This was my first time at this location and it did not disappoint. We each got a margarita (that definitely went down smooth) and a variety of tacos. I loved every taco we ordered. Each one had great flavor and definitely couldn't pick a fave because they were all awesome! I can't wait to come back and have some more. The service was great! Our server was on it and he made sure we had everything we needed and checked in with us periodically. You bet I'll be back to have some of those delicious margaritas and tacos soon! read more

Some of the best tacos I've had in Denver and a great atmosphere! The outdoor dining area was well set up and the service was great. We had six different tacos and all were amazing, the carnitas and quesabirria were incredible. Will absolutely be going back. read more

Excellent happy hour spot! Big thanks to Yelp for helping me find this place after landing in Denver--I wanted something quick but still good, and this totally hit the mark. The service was outstanding! Tracey, the bartender, took great care of us--she gave solid recommendations and made some really good drinks. Happy Hour sliders are a must try! Tacos are on point--we tried the Carnitas and Asada steak! And the margaritas were great as well! So glad we stumbled on this little neighborhood gem! read more

Been curious about this place for awhile and I'm so glad we stopped to try! We tried the nachos that were on the happy hour menu and there were layers of flavors while the nachos were actually super crispy and not stale at all! We also tried the tacos and every single one I tried were so tasty!! I can't remember the name but the one with a fatty pork meat was my favorite. Everything melts in your mouth!! Wonderful place. Would love to try stuff from their brunch menu and non-taco items (which might be hard cuz now that I know the taste it'll be too tempting) read more

So this came as a pleasant surprise! When traveling through the airport in Denver, and you have a layover, we have all aimlessly looked for a place to either have a snack, lunch or dinner. I took a gamble on this place. This place did not disappoint. I had the Carnitas taco and black beans, was seriously hesitant because there is no way you're going to get good tacos in an airport. Do yourself a favor and try this place. If you're ever lucky to be in terminal A- it's down at the end of the terminal around A18. I didn't wanna commit on a combo so I just got one taco and a side of black beans, that was $10! So now I'm thinking I should've got the two tacos combo, lol. Anyways, give this place a try it was truly delicious. It may be a bit confusing because there is a bar restaurant right next-door to it so soon as you pass the bar, you'll see the restaurant on the other side. You're welcome! read more

We went last weekend with our family and had tacos, queso, and margs. Our server was super nice. The watermelon margarita sounded really good on the board but I feel like flavor wise it fell a little flat and the seasoning on the rim was weird. It wasn't just tajin, it was like tajin, salt, oregano and something else. It was strange. We got the chorizo queso with garlic to share for the table. It came out hot and bubbly. It was probably my favorite part of the meal. It was melty, it was yummy, it was crispy from the little cast iron pan and the garlic addition was perfect. It had a little heat but not bad. Everyone at the table got the queso a la plancha taco and I was disappointed with this one. It came in two corn tortillas and it's supposed to be just like fried cheese on the taco topped with guac and salsa. There was minimal fried cheese and SO much guac. I had a shrimp taco which felt flavorless and an asada taco which felt overfilled. My husband loved the birria. I had a bite and it was delicious!! read more

Party of five went for Restaurant week. For $35 we received one mix drink, app, 3 tacos and churro. Great deal!! Food was awesome and service was good, very busy for a Saturday night. Would return. I think for the price the 4" tacos are about 15% over priced. read more

My friend got scombroid fish poisoning after eating here last week during Denver Restaurant Week. This type of foodborne illness happens when fish isn't properly refrigerated and develops high levels of histamine as it spoils. When someone eats it, it can trigger symptoms that look like a severe allergic reaction or even anaphylactic shock. She ordered the mahi-mahi fish tacos, and almost immediately her throat swelled so badly that she couldn't swallow her own saliva or speak. At first she thought it was just an allergic reaction, which didn't make sense because she has never had a fish allergy. In fact, she had just returned from Asia where she ate fish regularly without any problems. She ended up having to go to the ER, where the doctor evaluated her and told her it was likely scombroid poisoning from spoiled fish. She's too kind to say anything publicly, but I'm not. Situations like this are serious and should probably be reported to the public health department. read more

Honestly the most amazing people. I stopped by a few minutes after 11. They still went out of their way to make me food and accommodate me. Amazing food, amazing people! Highly recommend! I'm really lost for words with their kindness! Thank you so much read more

Our favorite taco place in Denver! We love going for happy hour because they have some different yummy apps (nachos), always get the spicy marg, and end with a bunch of tacos. Mushroom, fish & beer, shrimp, and birria are my absolute favorites. Also always have to end with the churros! Can't wait to sit out on the patio this summer! read more

Went for Denver restaurant week and found the margs were great, pinche soda was top tier, tacos were tasty and they did not skimp on the protein portion! Tres leche cake was actually unreal. Service was prompt and the vibes were upbeat and casual. Would recommend! read more

I had no idea until recently that the other TTW location closed down. Bummer! I actually enjoyed my experience at the Highlands location more than I did the first time, which was a pleasant surprise. Cocktails are strong (got a Serrano Marg & Pinche Paloma) - would come back just for those! They have a ton of high-end tequilas and mezcals, it seems. On top of their incredlble Queso Gringo, I ordered 3 tacos: hongos, quesobirria, and pork belly pastor. Been trying to perfect my order as time goes on. Would definitely get the hongos & quesobirria again, switching out the third taco for something different. They're all filling either way. Still have yet to come here for happy hour! read more

Sheesh what a good breakfast burrito! Disclaimer: this is just for the breakfast burritos available 7:30-11am. These things bang. They've quickly become my go-to and have to be my favorite in Denver. These are well made, and most notably not overly greasy. The carnitas is so flavorful and they load it up. They use tater tots for the potato element and it works so well. You gotta pay for the salsa but the Diablo is 10/10. Already ready to go back. read more

Came in for Sunday brunch and catching up with a good friend. The food and drinks were fantastic. The staff were courteous and very nice. Our server, Brandon, gave great recommendations (hongos tacos was delicious!), checked on us frequently, entertained us with a few stories, and let us stay to gab to our hearts content. Thanks for the great service Brandon, et al! The ambiance was pleasantly calm for a Sunday afternoon. Even with a chill in the air, the enclosed patio was plenty warm. I will definitely be back! read more

Love the food and drinks here. Don't skip out on the queso fundido. All of the taco options are great but the mushroom is the best

so happy to have them at the airport. their york location used to be my favorite restaurant in denver. they have the cilantro lime soda and all the tacos and appetizers we've come to love over the years. bravo! order at the counter and sit at the bar. the tables behind are for elway's, not tacos :-) . read more

Absolutely unacceptable experience after being a loyal customer for years. I have been to this restaurant over 20 times and routinely go out of my way to come here, but I will not be returning after how we were treated. After ordering several tacos and two margaritas each, everything was fine until Brandon, our server, got a 9-top. Once that happened, his attitude completely changed. Even though we had already paid our bill and left a full 20% tip, he immediately started trying to rush us out. While we were waiting on a cab and finishing our drinks, Brandon came over and said, in a passive-aggressive tone, I am going to say this in the nicest way possible, we are seating a 9 seat back here and you might want to leave. Less than a minute later, he returned and said we are boxing you out. When I asked him to chill and give me two minutes to finish my drink, he actually reached over and tried to rip the drink out of my hand as if I was the problem. I pulled it back, stood up to leave, and he then opened the door like he was escorting me out. This was rude, aggressive, and completely unnecessary, especially toward a regular customer who had already paid, tipped well, and was simply waiting on transportation. If Brandon can't handle a 9-top without rushing paying customers out and putting his hands on their drinks, he has no business serving tables. Learn how to manage your section, and don't treat loyal customers like garbage. read more

You typically can't go wrong with chips and guacamole, but these guys managed it. Stopped in before my flight out of DEN and got a drink, chips and guacamole. The ambiance was very blasé, the chips tasted like a cardboard box and the guacamole tasted like something that came out of a tube. I will not be coming back here, like ever. I'd rather eat a wrapped sandwich from one of the airport news stands. read more

The food was amazing, Kevin provided the best service I'v ever had, and the ambiance was top notch. I'll keep coming back for sure!

What an amazing place! The food is very, very good, this was our first visit and guarantee it will not be our last. The tacos were all made of fresh high-quality ingredients and very tasty. While the pork belly al Pastor was a little disappointing, the other tacos, such as the spicy tuna, and the shrimp taco more than made up for it the service is beyond good, there aren't enough positive words to describe it. The wait staff is amazing, friendly, attentive, and very helpful. We had multiple members of management as well stop by our table and ask what was our favorite taco was. The ambience is also awesome, lots of natural light and cool decor. The spot not only has good food, but is run by good humans highly recommend! read more

Came here for a quick bite a couple years ago while visiting town. I love tacos and margs and wanted to to try something new. I think we arrived in time for happy hour- it was cold out, probably late October/early November but we sat at the screened in porch area. I got a spicy marg as usual and split a plate of tacos. From what I remember, this was a decent spot, nice decor/atmosphere. Good place for a quick bite. Probably a little livelier later in the evening, but I'd come back if I were in the area. read more

Great food, asada tacos were light a flavorful. Good Paloma marg. Just enough to get me to my final destination. Would go again

These tacos a so delicious and filling. Slow cooked meat and lots of homemade sauces. Would definitely revisit for happy hour.

Came for the happy hour margaritas (daily from 3-6) and stayed for the queso, tacos, and slider. Smaller restaurant, but there is also a small patio seating area. We loved the queso fundido al tequila. It was very very cheesy and very very tasty; came out piping hot on a cast iron skillet. We had several tacos from the main many and also orders margaritas off the happy hour menu. I did also like the chipotle shrimp slider. Service was excellent! Food and drinks came out relatively fast. Of note, there is a 5% "kitchen love" added to the tab. Not a big deal for us since service was good anyways. There is a small parking lot behind the restaurant, but it is shared with other businesses. There are lots of parallel parking, so plan ahead in case you need a few extra minutes to find parking. We will definitely be back! read more

Came here for happy hour and loved it. Ordered the happy hour enchiladas and popcorn shrimp. Both were delicious and I could've eaten them again easily. We also ordered a few different taco options which we also greatly enjoyed. Wasn't too into the pollo flavor. The Ahi though!! The margaritas were also well made and great price at happy hour. Thanks for the good vibes. & Loved the Halloween decorations! read more

Delicious Tacos! They have 3 veg options that have so much flavor but they are the perfect size and they are not overpriced at all! They have chips and queso and the cheese is amazing! You can sit outside or inside. The music is pretty loud so the patio is best and it's heated. I love that their menus are reusable! They gave us a complimentary churro With Mexican chocolate and it was amazing! Our server was super attentive! Heavily recommend this spot :) read more

The queso was the best part of the dinner, made with melted cheese and packed with chorizo! Get this!!! I had the shrimp taco and the pork belly taco both of which were good but not great. The pork belly was not super flavorful. If you are in here go for the apps and there unique margaritas, would go elsewhere for tacos. read more

Great tacos, drinks, & happy hour! TTW had been on my list of places to try for far too long, but I finally got around to trying it! We happened to stop in during their all-day happy hour on Monday, so we got to enjoy discounted drinks - like the coin margarita & the blackberry pinche soda - and discounted apps - like the pile of nachos. We also obviously had to try their unique salsas - pictured is the molcajete (smoky & delicious!), the el diablo (super spicy), & tomatillo (also a bit spicy). And last but not least, their tacos: we got the pollo agave (nothing better than fried chicken), queso birria, camarones a la parilla, the Fish N beer (named after their sister restaurant), and the Mahi Molcajete - all so delicious!! Overall good food + drinks at TTW! read more

I visited for the first time Monday with some friends. They actually have an all day happy hour on Mondays which was really cool! The ambiance of the restaurant was very casual but low key had me feeling like I was at a bar at times because of the music (not complaining about it at all) it was a very fun atmosphere. The service was very attentive and we got checked on often and never had to waive down any staff which is always nice. Food wise this is what we ordered: HAPPY HOUR MENU (Not pictured) -Chipotle Shrimp Slider (my friend ordered this a said it was too much batter for her) -Pinche Tots -Paloma (this was very delicious! Not too strong or too sweet!) -Signature Marg (this tasted like a cup of tequila over ice, which personally I love strong drinks) REGULAR MENU -Chicharrones (these were delicious! Nice and crispy) -Street Tacos (Pictured): Asada, Quesobirria, Spicy Tuna, Camarones a la Diabla, Pork Belly, Al Pastor I'm already craving these tacos again! Will definitely be back asap! My favorites were the spicy tuna and the shrimp taco! The shrimp taco had this super spicy mango sauce on top that was so good! read more

So, let's call this a "Bonus Information Review." I spend a LOT of time reviewing places everywhere, and my last visit needs an...addendum. I have posted pics of the queso. The nachos are ridiculously good. If you are lucky to get a bar seat, you are happy. The staff is on point, and their teamwork is transparent and awesome. Good HH specials. Great background music. ETC. Blah blah blah, yada yada yada (because I LOVE this place and always say great things about EVERY great visit). But why the addendum? Because wife and I just went in because we had a Queso Itch. You don't get those? Weird. ANYWAY, we had the Queso Itch, and the best place for queso in the city is at this place (get the Molcajete salsa with it...trust me). But, that is not the kicker. I love, love, LOVE the Diablo Hot Sauce. I got a very large portion of that sauce before I left (THANKS, by the way). It has existed in my fridge for the last week. It is, sadly, almost gone. Not only is the Diablo Hot Sauce my favorite hot sauce in Denver onsite at Tacos, but I have found out in the last week that it goes with EVERYTHING at home. I literally have tried it with every type of dish this week...and it works splendidly. Yes, I just busted out the word "splendidly." That is important. Bar seating, typical indoor seating with both individual tables and "group/community" seating (which is fun), and a cool heated outdoor area if you can't score the bar. No new pic today, but I think I already covered it in previous reviews. I definitely recommend. I will definitely see you there. And I definitely need to get more Diablo Hot Sauce. read more
