Best chorizo in town! Authentic Mexican tacos with fast service! A great neighborhood spot!

This is a popular place, and I admit that their tacos are very good. Their menu is simple, and the quality is good. I just didn't feel that it's the most friendly place, but that may be because it's busy. You order at the counter, and you can eat there, but I think the service is mostly takeout. Food is good, a little pricey, but don't expect gushing hospitality. read more

this place is so far the worst one I've ever eaten, costumer service was very good. I order a asada fries dish, and the fries were not fully cooked , no flavor and the meat was raw, I called the number listed and no one answer . my partner got the gorditas, the Monterrey cheese and he got nothing but lettuce and tomato . The carnitas one , was salty as heck, based on the advertisement the Gorditas are "fried" but the masa was not cooked properly. this was the worst food ever MY OWN EXPERIENCE . read more

Haven't came to this location for years cause my last visit wasn't that good taste wise. I stopped by today around 9:00 pm. I figured they might have figured it out by now but I was wrong... I got chicken, asada and Al pastor tacos and the taste on all meats were no good. All meats tasted off and also the chicken looked old and gray. If you're gonna be open till midnight and be charging $3 per taco please make sure your ingredients stay fresh and tasting right. Also I had some random guy come up to me while I was ordering begging me to buy him food after he got denied by other people eating at a table. Definitely located in a sketchy part of colfax but the staff should do a better job of keeping these people out of the establishment. Deeply disappointed and did not even finish my food. read more

Delicious Mexican food on east Colfax. Most of their salsas (walk up salsa bar) is very spicy. They do have limes, radish and cilantro as well. The tacos are very tasty. They are small but not expensive. There are several choices for meat. My favorite is the carnitas. They offer a lot of Mexican sodas, coke and horchata, Pina and Jamaica. They also offer a few postres (desserts) but I have not tried them. read more

I love getting to try a new Taco spot, they are definitely one of my favorite foods! Tacos and Salsas did not disappoint! The tacos were a good size and had plenty of savory meat. They also have a variety of meat choices which I now see as a personal challenge to return and try them all! The Salsas on the table were a great compliment to the tacos and added just enough flavor and spice for my taste. If you're in the area, please do give them a try :) read more

Skip this and keep driving further for a better spot. Our order was simple and came out wrong, without the sides and toppings. The beans were dried out and inedible. The taco meat was over cooked and hard. We had to toss out the entire meal. read more

Years ago, I remember eating at a Tacos Y Salsas, when they had their al pastor spit outside of the restaurant, calling patrons inside to taste their famous tacos. Since then, these restaurants are really no longer allowed to leave them outside throughout the day, for fear of contamination from birds, and being outside. Still, these tacos are some of the best around. Colorful chairs and tables, and friendly service from both the waitress and cook, combine to create a perfect atmosphere for enjoying your lunch, snack, or dinner! While they do have other options besides tacos, I find that their tacos are very filling and tasty. I had some al pastor tacos, and a chorizo taco. I have also had their chicken tacos. All of their tacos are filled with meat, and you are welcome to use their salsa bar to personalize your tacos. The tomatillo salsa, pico, and fresh cilantro, are some of my favorite additions to my tacos. Tacos Y Salsas is one part of Denver that has continued to impress, and has maintained a similar feel as it had more than ten years ago before all of the rapid growth that we have seen in our city. Such a gem! I can't wait to return again soon! read more

TOP SHELF !!! Great authentic Mexican food at great prices. Clean. Friendly. I eat at no other. You gotta try this !!!!!!

¡Algunos de los mejores tacos en Aurora! ¡Este lugar es nuestra parada semanal!

Great service, great tacos, good variety of food, ill definitely be back! The tacos are a bit pricy when compared to the small street tacos, but these are a lot bigger so you get more bang for your buck! They have your typical meats like carne asada and chicken, but I like the more exotic meats. The buche, tripas, and pastor were amazing!! You should try some of these. read more

Tacos y Salsas - Really big tacos full of meat (pastor, tripas, buche) They were bomb!! - Mexican Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

I'm a big fan of small, private owned, old school restaurants because that's where you find the gooood food soo here I am The first time I was here, I got a torta and made it half chicken/half steak and it was delicious. This time around, I decided to get three tacos (chicken, steak, and pork). The tacos were a good size so for $2 each, it was a perfect meal. The tables and decorations let you know that this is authentic Mexican food. They even have the old school glass soda bottles to top it all off. If you're ever in this neighborhood, check it out! read more

I love this place. The food is great, but the salsas are what really make it!! I love how you can help yourself to all the taco fixins and it's really delicious. I would recommend going here for a great quick lunch spot. Barbacoa all day!! read more

Ohboy... where to start? Been coming here since they opened, great tacos, decent smothered burritos, really good menudo on the weekends, the food has slipped a little in quality as the number of locations has increased. It can get really busy here at times and I make it a point to be very aware of my surroundings especially if I go there after dark. The area can get sketchy! I hope the owner spends more time here to look closely at the quality to make sure it stays as high as possible. The sauces are still flavorful and the asada, pastor and carnitas are my favorites. Enjoy. read more

This is where you should go if you are truly craving great Mexican food. It's not the trendiest place in town, and I doubt it will ever be recognized as one of Denver's Best. But you will never convince me that you can find better tasting Mexican food in Denver than here. True. This restaurant fits right in with the hole-in-the-wall restaurants that permeate Colfax. I wish that would change. Aurora and Colfax deserve better curb appeal. But as far as quality food at a reasonable price goes, the Colfax restaurants cannot be beaten. I ordered the barbacoa burrito. Amazing. Great flavor. Little resemblance to the Tex Mex that is most common in Denver. I'm not saying it's authentic Mexican food because I can't claim that authority. But it was different in a good way than what I'm used to in Colorado. I also remembered that a friend of mine highly recommended the al pastor taco. After ordering my burrito, I added a single taco to my order. It was worth it. The tacos here are incredible. Fresh flavor. Great seasoning. Overall, some of the best street tacos in Denver. I got my food to go, but I think dining in would be great, as well. It's a small restaurant, but you would have to be completely self-absorbed not to notice the bright decor of the dining room and the custom-carved and painted Tacos-y-Salsas chairs and tables. read more

This place is the real deal Hollifield. I love it. I have to come here for my fix, when I'm tired of eating mediocre brown-people food cooked by brown-people of dubious morality for undiscriminating white-people. Seriously. Some of y'all should be ashamed of yourselves. The shit that y'all serve in the name of 'tacos' is abyssmal. I swear to Vishnu that one day I'm going to go through your trash and see how many 'Old El Paso' boxes of instant taco shells I can find. But I digress. This place makes their tacos with love. You can feel it in the air when you sit down. Their menu is expansive and a little daunting if you don't know what to order, but you won't go too far wrong if you just order whatever looks the least pronounceable and try not to think about what it is when you're eating it. Soon you'll discover the joys of al pastor, buche, lengua, and chincharron... and at that point, you're pretty much fucked because you won't be able to go back to your old ways. The upside? This place is wicked cheap, so you'll never have to give handjobs for tacos ever again. ... rather... in the first place. I'm just sayin'. read more

After leaving a Denver Psychoanalytic Society movie screening at 11 PM my boyfriend and I found ourselves in an unfamiliar part of town and starving. We decided to take the long way home down Colfax to see if we could find something to eat and lo and behold we found Tacos Y Salsas. Since I remembered seeing a positive response to this place on Yelp, we stopped. Um, hello. Yum? In the tradition of delicious taco dives, tYs does NOT disappoint. I ordered 4 tacos as I thought they were going to be tiny. Yeah, don't do that unless you haven't eaten a week. My boyfriend is a burrito guy and reported that the beef and bean burrito was as tasty as it looked. I enjoyed steak, chicken and al pastor tacos, foisting half of each off onto him so that I could try each kind. The salsa bar is fantastic, they have something for EVERY taste and heat level there, we sampled 5 kinds along with some carrots from their carrot/jalapeno mix (fantastic carrots, btw - try them) and of course some radishes to cool it all down. Oh yeah, I am not sure how much we paid for the chips, but they were fried to order and really delicious, so get them,ok? read more

Tacos y Salsas - mmmmmmmm - Mexican Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

We went to Tacos Y Salsas for a snack and found the staff curiously happy at 11:00 PM. In fact they were singing along to loud music as they cooked. Were they practicing for some Hollywood Musical? One cook chopped meat to the beat, accentuating Spanish words by cutting off their endings: chopchop chop chopchopchop chop, which left me wondering if my mother lied to me as a child: there are places where people are happy to work late nights in a restaurant. Why did I get a college degree? We got menus and sat down. My man and my friend started rattling off $1.50 tacos (photo above) to the waitress, who was ready. Sadly, I didn't order a snack. I wanted to, more than anything, I wanted to eat some of that meat cooking on a spinning grill off Colfax, because I've been to Mexico, and meat grilling right off the street is as authentic as I've seen. But I can't eat gluten, anything that has even a speck of flour in it will make me sick. This place makes its own tortillas every day. There is too much flour in their kitchen for me to eat here. Pity. Big double-dog crying pity too-much-gluten-shame for me. When the tacos arrived, my Man and my Friend jumped up to embellish their food at the counter by dripping anything spicy all over. My Man's complaint... the taco was so fresh, it was too hot to handle. He had to watch it cool, first. None of this happens at the Bell. read more

top shelf !!!!!!!! excellent food. very clean. very friendly staff and a great owner!!!!!! big portions too!!!

Simple menu but delicious! Tortas are amazing. We had barbacoa and marinated chicken. Perfect crunch and fresh lettuce and tomato on top! The Gordita was also great. They also have a salsa bar, which was pretty good. Mostly medium to spicy though so not for the intolerant. Also includes cilantro and diced onions, as well as really fresh limes. To enjoy the salsa bar even more, the salsa chips are worth the $1.67. Homemade fried chips! This place is sit down or counter. Friendly service. Good music and decorations as well. Most of all, extremely cheap. read more

Tacos y Salsas - Decorations! - Mexican Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

Good service but the food is not it. Tastes good but there are much better Mexican food locations.

Very good taco restaurant with large tacos, I was expecting them to make the tacos out of regular store bought tortillas but the tortillas where hand made and they were amazing. Really good place to stop by and eat some tacos. read more

If you come here then you have to get the carne asada fries .. Soooooooooo good, and this is coming from a Southern California guy

Called FOUR times trying to place an order and literally got hung up on every single time!! This place is usually pretty good, but Covid has everyone on a whole different level. Everyone is on their damn high horse!‍‍ read more

Tacos y Salsas - Poor service! - Mexican Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

This place doesn't look like it's located in the best area, and it's pretty much a "hole in the wall." But all the meats are cooked incredibly well here. The asada, al pastor, and carnitas have great flavors. And you can sauce them as much as you want from the salsa bar. Probably the best tacos I've ever had, and I would never have expected that here. Not very big inside with a handful of tables so seating might be a problem depending on when you go, but definitely worth trying read more

Tacos y Salsas - You can only see the carnitas (left) and asada (right) tacos here - Mexican Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

When your best friend moves across down, that's reason for moping. But when he moves close to a whole strip of taquerias, hey! Life is back to being alright. This place is pretty darn cute (please forgive me for using the 'c' word). The service was sweet. And who doesn't love a salsa bar? But the meats in the tacos (we tried 6 different kinds) were all really grisly and oily without much flavor. That said, each taco was PACKED with meat. The tortillas were flavorless and dry. The salsas were okay but also pretty bland. It's Mexico-style in that you order, you eat, if you want you order more, until you decide you've had enough. Then at the end you go up and pay for everything you had. We came late at night so who knows, that may have impacted things. But the disappointing food experience here put us back on our mission to find some damn tasty tacos. read more

The tacos are amazing!! Service was fast, restaurant is pretty small and not a lot of parking space but the delicious food is worth it. Will definitely be coming back! read more

Tacos y Salsas - Mexican Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

It's good, but not truly great. The staff is nice, but I prefer street tacos to this 4" size. The flavors were good, but the carnitas needed to get crisper and the steak had grisly bits. the salsas were good, but not spicy enough. I love the Cascadas food truck nearby on Yosemite. read more

Saw that it was busy when I drove past at lunch time so I decided to check it out. Glad I did. Menu is simple and food is authentic and delicious. The tacos have very generous portions of meat. As the name implies they have a good selection on the salsa bar. read more

You really cant get better Mexican food than this! I'm crazy picky about the good stuff and I can't sing higher praises for Tacos y Salsas...not matter which one you go to, it's awesome! This location is pretty small but it still has all the style of a vibrant restaurant in Mexico. The colors and the music and the delicious smells are all what make this place so great. I don't think I would ever turn down the opportunity to have some of the best tacos in town. Love me the Al Pastor tacos with some pineapple added on top. Seriously, these bad boys are insane good! The best thing to do is get a variety of tacos (they're under $2 a piece) and try all the different meats. They're all delicious but I say just pick your favorite. During the lunch rush this place might seem crazy packed but that's because the food is awesome and the space is small. Get in while the gettin' is good. Love it. read more

There are three words to describe Tacos y Salsas 3: Little. Yellow. Different. Little, 'cause there are only about 7-8 tables inside. Yellow, 'cause that is the decorating color of choice. And different, 'cause this place isn't necessarily squeaky clean or spacious, but the tacos speak for themselves. I've visited the location on Federal numerous times, but last week was my first time at the Colfax location. It's $1.60 for tacos, and let me tell you - they don't skimp on the filling, at least not for the al pastor variety. For some insane reason I ordered three, and then sat there for about 20 minutes trying to get them all down. They were served with a side of shredded iceberg lettuce, which was totally unnecessary, but that's okay. I'm a fan of almost any joint with a salsa bar, and this spot was no different. My tacos took a while to arrive, so I spent the time eating roasted jalapenos and quenching the burn with coke. Lots of people stopped in for to-go orders while I was waiting, and for them I feel a little bit sorry because I think the food is best eaten piping hot. I will definitely stop here again when I'm having a taco attack! read more

Reviewed to remove a Shame on You!!! It has been a while (as in months) since I have seen the al pastor encrusted with pigeons. I had promised a return visit if they disappeared. So yesterday when it was freezing cold, I headed into Tacos y Salsa after checking on the horses. In good faith, I ordered the al pastor tacos. They were hearty and flavorful, a trip to the salsa bar customized my tacos. During my visit, the service was fast and courteous and in between serving, the place was constantly being wiped down. Yes, I will return and feel confident about eating at Tacos y Salsa. And about those pigeons, they were still marching back and forth outside the window where I sat; I taunted them by eating a taco that had not been previously sampled by them. read more

This is the first place I think about for Mexican food, There are several locations I have been to but this one is closest to me. Not the best location and not the prettiest inside either but the BEST food and they have always treated this gringo well. I've been going here so long I remember when there was only 1 menu in English. On one $1.50 taco there is more meat than most places burritos. Staples for us are the pork tacos simmered in spices then fried crispy on the edges and grilled steak burritos. The avocado tostadas need two hands to eat they are so loaded up. There is a salsa for every persons taste and heat tolerance. Help yourself. I find that the best food can be found in some unexpected places. read more

This Tiny hole in the wall gem Was Fantastic! Some of the best street tacos I have had in a long time. Now I say Street tacos but these things are piled on with meat of your choice. They are served to you with just the meat but they have a small bar where you can load it with salsas and veggies. It is a small place and are a bit packed in with as much seating as they could fit, but once you get your food you could care less. Very clean and colorful environment! Yes it is far down the older part of Colfax but it is worth stopping by! read more

Really good food and really clean in here five stars all day I will come here again I came in here for a pretty good nice size burrito and the prices are not bad at all the food is great I recommend everyone to come to see and eat here. You will definitely enjoy the food they have here at tacos Y salsas. Five stars all day!!! read more

Tacos, tacos, and more tacos! I love their tacos. Some people don't like how full they stuff their tacos, I love how full their tacos stuff my stomach. My favorites are their chorizo tacos, with the habanero salsa. I personally think that their habanero salsa could stand to be spicier. That's just because I can't ever find a local salsa that will melt my tongue off, and I'm a masochist in that sense. Cheap and delicious Mexican food+empty stomach=happy camper read more

Re-revision. Okay, now I don't know what to think. After being to this and the South Federal locations a few times I think I actually might like... no maybe not. The problem is about the seasonings, I like the flavor of the federal location better but they over-salt, this location on Colfax gets the salt right but under-seasons. Don't get me wrong, I like both locations (overlooking some cleanliness issues at both) but, there is the slightest room for improvement at both (of course everything is subjective and depends on your sensibilities). Also, damn it I ordered tacos without remembering it was the weekend and there was what looked like a good bowl of menudo to be had. (insert expletive). Oh and one other thing. The menu was in english and I didn't have a clue what to order, friggin' duh. The mind grows feeble with age and alcohol I suppose. ala daughter, "Sad day." original review: Tried the Kentucky and Federal Blvd location. Great meats seasoned and cooked to perfection. Tacos are served on a single tortilla but it is a good one. Salsas and other fixins are out front for you to pick (the jalapenos are roasted not the soggy pickled type). No english on the menu but the counter will guide the uninitiated. I tried the carnitas, deshebrada, and adobada tacos. All were great. I'll be in there again. Thanks Lori M. read more
