Place is cozy, right on the corner, very natural earthy interior design, makes it feel like vacation and very different from rest of Denver vibe. Foods are beyond just tasteful, feels like a whole experience with every bite. You typically need 4 to 5 plates for a party of two, each plate is elegantly designed and crafted. It comes out as a pure perfection, the house cocktails are unique above all is the avocado margarita, which is one of the exotic cocktails of all. Staff are extremely professional, not too friendly, not too cold, just the right amount of politeness to make one comfortable. For my fellow Denver folks, you have to visit this place to experience contemporary Mexican dishes, which, by the way, most of them taste more towards a comfortable level of spicy.

We finally got in to try out this Michelin star hype fest, and we did thoroughly enjoy the service…read moreand the meal. Our server was very knowledgeable without being too pushy or over explanatory. We tried the big eye tuna ceviche, the scallops and the classic braised lamb shank. We loved two of the three however the big eye tuna was a bit of a flavor bomb and the tuna did not stand out. There was way too much going on and we kind of just felt like it was a salty mess. Denver is lucky to have a culinary gem like this and we look forward to returning to try some of the new creations!

Both were cooked perfectly & were tender. The portions and amount of meat in each one were quite a lot and the added quac dollop on top of each taco was a nice a surprise. The hot sauce was flavorful but nothing special. As for the ambience the Taqueria is very laid back with a small dining area. They have a nice patio and you can bring your dog. Staff was attentive & quickly serving despite being busy and the phone constantly ringing. Food wasn't instant but rather fast. You can see them cook the meat fresh on the grill. Overall I enjoyed my experience and loved the value. I will be back again to try the other options. Would give them a 4.5 out of 5.

Service is top notch and our Friday night here was met with explanations of menu items, drink recommendations and even food recommendations.

They have a nice happy hour and we sampled just about 1 of each thing on the HH menu. The highlight was the loaded fries and the Elote while the worst item was the beef tostada which was just super basic and boring and I wouldn't order it ever again. Drinks were good and I enjoyed their happy hour deals on house margaritas, beer and shot on a good deal. Service was nice but a little slow on the patio. Overall would come back and try their other items and go for those fries again.

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!

Good meal but a lot of work and hassle!…read more Very limited parking. Left side of the building are a few parking spots shared by several businesses. Good luck getting a spot. Then you are driving the neighborhood hoping to find a spot. Finally parked and walked to the restaurant. Host told me it would be 30 minutes but the actual wait was 50 minutes. Spend so much time parking and then waiting, at what point do you give up and leave empty handed? Restaurant is VERY LOUD. Finally got a table and ordered OFF MENU. Server agreed to substitute shrimp for my enchiladas and they were good! Fresh corn tortillas were the highlight. Ordered tres leches cake and enjoyed it too. Was a nice meal but just not worth all the hassle.

After asking to be relocated to another table, as there was a security box that was buzzing…read moreextremely loudly near the entrance, we waited for 15 minutes before I got up and asked the host if we were assigned a server. The server who came to our table had passed us about 10x prior to coming up to our table and asking us, "are you ready?". I let her know we hadn't been greeted and needed to get our drink order in. Since we had waited so long, we also put in our food order but overall, a terrible way to start the meal, as it felt like we had been intentionally ignored after we asked to relocate due to the noise. Food came out super fast and hot, but the beans and rice portions seemed like 1/4 less, with me running out after one flauta. Mango margarita tasted overly of sweet & sour mix, and while it was almost a slushie it perhaps needed more ice to make it so as it came out as more of a liquid. Overall the lack of an apology for the super long wait before we got drinks put a damper on the rest of the evening.

We ordered the chips and salsa trio to start, quesabirria, chicken and steak fajitas with corn equites and rice/beans as a side, and lastly the carnitas. Personally I got the carnitas and was shocked at the portion! The presentation was beautiful and overall it was quite tasty. The hard part with this meal was that the black bean puree was underneath all the meat and au jus so it was a bit challenging to scoop up and put in the tacos. Everyone enjoyed their meals and we were pretty stuffed that we couldn't make it to dessert.
