Walking in it smells fantastic, it is colorful and there are loads of people. You order at the counter and then they call your number and you get your food. The people were very helpful and gave great recommendations. They mostly have variations of Indian tacos and bowls. I liked how the flavors are different than the usual thing. Everyone in our group got a stuffed Indian taco and they compared it to a calzone. Can definitely split these because the portions are quite generous
Magnificent notes in the bison ribs plate served with green chile stew & 2 fry bread. The bison ribs - let me just say - I will never forget this Cheyenne culinary delight. I woke up the next day rejuvenated.
Tocabe has been one reason why I've wanted to finally visit Denver. It's one of my go-to places to get food at the Denver airport, and I was very excited to finally try its brick-and-mortar location. When I got off from my Lyft here, I was delighted to step foot into a sweet eatery with plenty of seating and friendly workers. It was clean and brightly lit, and the sight of the Native American decor gave very nice cultural touches. I got a plate with braised shredded bison Indian taco, which was shredded bison meat on top of fry bread. It was very filling. I had been getting over a flu, and filled up on water while I was here. For dessert, you can't skip wojapi (berry dessert) with fry bread. I left here stuffed. I earned my walk all the way to Meow Wolf!
There's a tiny parking lot in the back, but your best bet is to find street parking. It's a huge space with plenty of seating. The line moves pretty quick. I got the Indian taco with shredded bison and it was pretty tasty. Loved the texture of the taco, perfectly crispy. Good spot for a quick and tasty meal if you can find parking.
This was our first time trying Native American cuisine, so we came in excited and curious to experience something new. Unfortunately, they had already sold out of all the bison items, including the bison ribs, which was the dish we were most looking forward to trying. Instead, we ordered the stuffed fry bread with ground beef, and it ended up being really enjoyable. It reminded me of a Mexican pupusa, but with even more filling. The fry bread was soft, satisfying, and made for a hearty meal. The staff was another highlight of our visit. Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and happy to answer our questions about the menu, which made trying a new cuisine feel less intimidating. The restaurant itself is small, giving it a cozy and laid-back atmosphere. It felt relaxed and inviting, making it easy to take your time and enjoy the meal without feeling rushed. Even though we didn't get to try what we originally came for, we'd definitely come back to sample the bison dishes when they're available. I'm especially looking forward to finally trying those bison ribs!
This was a great stop on ur Denver trip! Being from small town Kentucky, we wanted to try something we'd never tried before that we couldn't get at home. This hit all the requirements, and was really good! We really worked through the menu, getting a couple of bowls, fry bread, ribs, soup, and dessert. Everything we tried was very thoughtfully made, tasting both unique and familiar. I really liked the ribs, they were worth the wait and the hassle. The locale is unassuming, looking like a fast casual mix of Chipotle and Taco Bell. The staff was super chill and helpful with recommendations. Definitely check them out if you haven't!
This was the meal we were looking forward to the most during our Denver trip. The thought of bison ribs was enticing, salivation worthy and unique enough to grab our attention. We came in on a Friday night at around 7pm. The person in front of us ordered the very last ribs so we didn't get to try it. Instead, we ended up getting a bowl with wild rice, ground bison, hominy and corn. We also bought a side of fry bread and a cup of the stew. Everything was okay, nothing that blew our minds. I had to add some salt to the stew otherwise it was pretty bland. The bowl was a bit dry too so we had to add salsa to it to add some element of juiciness. Overall, we were a bit disappointed BUT I'm motivated to try the bison ribs at some point so next time I'm in Denver, I will be visiting once more
I absolutely love this place. Whether it's the chili that checks all the boxes or the warm greeting I've gotten each time I've stopped by, I make it my business to swing by each time I'm in town. The vibes are laid back. There's no rush to make the selections and the team members make great recommendations. The food is flavorful and feels like a soul food restaurant that I'd typically find here in Atlanta- but minus the heavy sleepy feeling I'd usually get afterwards. I just wish I could get those bison ribs more often! I miss this place already :(
It is a rare treat to have the honor to eat at an establishment like Tocabe. I am so fortunate. I have been hoping to get to come here someday. What a feeling to walk into a fully Indigenous business and be in Community. Thank you, Tocabe. And for all patrons it is a gorgeous welcoming space. The food is fresh, delicious and amazing. And they offer vegetarian protein entrees!! I had the signature Indian Taco, vegetarian version. I chose the seeds to go with it and it was such a treat. My companions chose nachos. These plates were large potions. We also got dessert fry bread nuggets. So good. They serve Bow and Arrow beer which was a great find, love the Native collab. The place was hopping and we were here at an off hour. Eat good, feel good, support local, support Native American.
Would definitely recommend! The flavors of the food were immaculate, I would go here over chipotle anytime. They have a bunch of different ways you can eat the food-- plates or bowls. Then you can build out your meal. My only note is that I wish that you weren't limited to two toppings, it'd be nice if you could get as many as you want. You have to get fry bread!
I had been wanting to try Tocabe for a while, and I especially love their philosophy, "Native first, local second." In addition to supporting small business owners, eating at Tocabe also supports the American Indian community and local farmers--a triple win! Servers were very helpful. When ordering, the first question asked was, "Have you dined with us before?" Our server recommended the Indian Taco plate, as it featured fry bread and a choice of meat and toppings. The plates are heaping, so be sure to go hungry or take some home for later. The fry bread is pillowy and delicious, and a good base for the ingredients. I like to be adventurous when I try a new place, so I selected the braised shredded bison (tender and flavorful), served with roasted green chiles and hot tomato sauce. The hot tomato is no joke with the habanero chile and jalapeño, so add a drizzle of sour cream and ancho chipotle to temper it a bit. Food is ordered in an assembly line style, and you take it to many of the tables throughout the space.
Fantastic place! You can't go wrong with fry bread, ever. I opted for the Indian Taco. This comes with fry bread on the bottom, your choice of protein - I went for the chicken, but the shredded bison also looked yummy - cheddar cheese, and two salsas of your choosing. They offer so many options for your meal construction, you literally just have to Tocabe and see for yourself. Tocabe, while it may seem familiar in terms of set up and ordering, specializes in Native American cuisine. We dined in and the place was very well kept, tables were clean, and the bussing area was cleared frequently. The staff helped us order since this was out first visit and I much appreciated the suggestions given to us. Yes to Tocabe!
Tocabe is hands-down our go-to place in Denver, and it never disappoints. Every visit reminds us why this spot is so special. The food is incredible--fresh, flavorful, and made with so much care--and the menu is truly one of a kind. It's not just a meal, it's an experience you don't find very often anywhere, let alone in the city. This year we even chose Tocabe for our anniversary dinner, which says a lot about how much we love it. The atmosphere is welcoming, the staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and everything feels intentional and authentic. You can tell they take pride in what they do, and it absolutely shows in every bite. If you're looking for something unique, memorable, and consistently amazing, Tocabe is a must. Whether it's your first visit or your tenth, it always feels special. Denver is lucky to have a place like this!

My family and I have been coming here for years, and every single time we come, the food is just as good as I remember. This is genuinely one of those places that I can never get tired of, and it has become a favorite for my family. I'm part Native American, so being able to support a Native-owned business and support our people makes the experience even more meaningful to me. It's always nice to be able to enjoy amazing food while also supporting a community that is important to me and my family. The vibe is super chill and cozy. The fried bread is easily one of my favorite things on the menu. It is SO good that I could honestly eat it completely by itself, and I have! It's crispy and delicious on the outside while still having that soft, warm texture inside, and there's just something about it that makes it so satisfying. Even if you didn't put anything on it, I could happily sit there and eat the fried bread on its own. That's how good it is. What makes it even better is getting the meats and toppings on top of the fried bread. The meats are always incredibly tender and flavorful, and everything comes together so well. I love that you can customize it and choose your toppings because it reminds me of Chipotle, except instead of putting everything into a bowl or tortilla, you're getting it all on delicious fried bread. Honestly, it's like combining two of my favorite things into one meal. I love Chipotle, I love fried bread, and somehow this place managed to put the two concepts together in a way that works perfectly. The portions are satisfying, the flavors are delicious, and there's something about the combination of the warm fried bread, tender meat, and toppings that makes the whole meal so comforting. It's the kind of food where you finish eating and immediately start thinking about when you can have it again. Just writing this review is making my mouth water because I can practically taste it! My only complaint is that I really wish they had kept the Greenwood Village location. That location was much closer to where I live, so it was incredibly convenient for my family and me to go there. The current location is definitely more of a drive for me, which can make it a little harder to stop by whenever I'm craving it. However, even with the extra drive, I still think it is completely worth it. That says a lot because I wouldn't go out of my way for food if I didn't genuinely love it. Overall, this is easily a 10/10 for me every single time. Between the amazing fried bread, the tender and flavorful meats, the ability to customize your meal, and the fact that I get to support a Native-owned business and my people, there are so many reasons why this place has remained a family favorite for years. If you've never been, I definitely recommend giving it a try. And if you love fried bread, you absolutely need to try it because it is seriously that good. I'll happily make the drive because some food is just worth it, and this is definitely one of those places. 10/10 every time! read more

Wife has been wanting to try this place and came in on a Saturday night. They have a parking lot and street parking is available as well. We both had no clue on what to expect and order but the staff were super friendly and very helpful. Fast causal type of restaurant and customizable. I love the variety and style of plates you can order. They were out of the shredded bison but it became ready as we were about to check out and ordered a side of it! Everything was very good but also pretty heavy. Took half of each dish home lol Fry bread is great and reminds me a lot of beignets but savory. The fry bread nuggets were very simple and just like beignets. Can't wait to come back and try the ribs! Clean and comfortable seating read more

This was my first visit to Tocabe, and I'll definitely be back! The setup is a little like Chipotle, where you walk through the line and tell them what you want on top. The staff is really welcoming and so helpful! I tried the Indian Taco plate and it was delicious! While I was skeptical of the blueberry vinaigrette they suggested to drizzle on top, he put it on the side and honestly, it was surprisingly really good! I definitely recommend that! I love the decor and music and they have a great outdoor seating area as well. Overall - definitely 5 stars!!! read more

Stopped here for a quick bite before going to the airport. It was recommended to us and pitched as Indian cuisine Chipotle and really really tasty. It did not disappoint! The staff was helpful in explaining the items and helping us choose. The service was quick and friendly when they brought stuff out to the tables. The restaurant was basic but good - very clean, good restrooms, comfortable tables / chairs. The food was incredible! Very saucy, very savory, some sweetness, lots of exciting new flavors. And the bread thing was so so yummy even for someone not very into breads. read more
This place is fantastic. I've never been anywhere like it and really excited to see one in DIA now as well. It's set up like a chipotle- you choose your base and meat and build your bowl. I loved the bison and the pomegranate sauce! Flavors are amazing and it's affordable. read more
Went a second time to try the Indian Taco. Brought some friends this time. The same person was working, her name is Heather! Indian Taco was even better than the bowl, which I didn't think could be beat. I've never had frybread and it was so yummy. They loaded it up too! I really like the habanero butternut squash topping. It was a little busier this time around but more than enough seating and quick service! This will definitely be a lunch staple when I'm working in that area. read more
For a Chipotle-style restaurant setup this is great quality and still relatively affordable. Fresh frybread v good, not oily, v fluffy inside (sort of beignet style?). Bison ribs were flavorful on their own, more on the dry side, slight heat with a little sweet, nicely balanced. Prepare napkins!!! Can definitely split this between two people, but if you're hungry it's good for one :) Love that they source from other indigenous businesses, and love seeing more indigenous businesses popping up. Would definitely come back to try more of the menu when we're back in Denver! If you're in Sacramento, check out Seka Hills (and if you can catch the Bigfoot food truck, get the rez dogs and the blueberry fry bread if they have it). In Oakland, check out Wahpehpahs. If you're in Minneapolis, DEFINITELY do not snooze on Owamni. In Vancouver, also do not snooze on Salmon n Bannock. Ditto for Indian Pueblo Cultural Center in ABQ. I can't actually remember how Bow and Arrow in ABQ was but that probably means it was a p decent brewery lol Wherever you travel, always look up and support the local indigenous businesses! read more

My first experience with Native American cuisine and I was pleasantly surprised. There was a sign saying "bison ribs ready in 30 minutes to 2 hours" when we were ordering. Thankfully, they were available when we asked. I split two entrees with a friend. The food: Indian Taco with Braised Shredded Bison + chili beans, corn, cheese, and sour cream. This might have been my favorite bite of the whole Denver trip. The base is a circular piece of fry bread - soft but with a good thin crispy exterior. All the toppings working together gave the taco a ton of textures. It was very tasty and what I thought brought it all together was some kind of sweet and tart fruity sauce (cranberry?). Bison Ribs- tender, yet chewy. Surprised these are roughly the size of a pork rib (thought they would be monster sized bison ribs). The seasoning reminded me of beef jerky. This comes with two pieces of fry bread and a fantastic berry BBQ sauce (they should bottle this and sell it). Iko's Green Chili Stew - a stew loaded with potatoes and corn - comfort food Fry Bread Nuggets - small bits of fry bread coated with powdered sugar. Kind of like mini beignets. We dipped this in the Berry BBQ sauce and it took the dessert to another level. Overall, Tocabe is an amazing experience in an unassuming fast, casual restaurant. read more
Tocabe is a unique and wonderfully flavorful Denver dining destination. From the moment you enter you're treated to Native music (great mix of trad and contemporary) and art. The setup is fast casual, build your own so I chose the bison Indian taco plus a side of fry bread with wojapi. The wojapi and honey were perfect accompaniments to the fresh, pillowy fry bread. The quality and varied flavor of the Indian taco topping was excellent, including Osage hominy, shredded bison, poblano, radish and cranberry. Huge, filling portions, attractive plating and good service provide even more reasons to support this local purveyor of Native cuisine. read more
Wow!!! Their bowls and tacos are delicious, but the star of the show is the fry bread. It goes well as a taco shell or as the base for a dessert. Friendly and efficient service, great at answering questions and providing recs. Very clean interiors with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Easy parking. Support this awesome local business!!! read more

Quick service food but extremely fresh and flavorful. We had Indian Tacos- one with shredded bison and one with ground bison. We also tried a few different salsa options. The best part was definitely the fresh fry bread and wajapi dipping sauce! I came here 14 years ago on a road trip and was so happy to come back and enjoy it again!! The server was extremely kind and welcomed us when we told him we were back after many years. Can't wait for my next trip back to Denver. read more

This is an update from a previous 5 star review. Went to Tocabe for lunch. Whoops. Things have really gone downhill from the service. perspective. Tables could have been cleaner, but eh, not the real problem. I asked for my usual bowl. Half Quinoa / Half rice. I was told they would have to charge me for extra grain because I selected 2. She offered to double the grain in the bowl, but I didn't want to eat that much. This was NEVER an issue before. I also used to get black beans and pinto beans, but after being up-charged for the grain I didn't bother to ask. The food is still good, and it is clean. But the attitude with the women in charge of the front line is gross. They never have the ribs. Literally the last five times I went and today they didn't even have the ground Bison. I will not be driving half an hour one way again just to eat there, which is something I did until they opened in Greenwood Village and something I would have done again. I will give the Airport location a shot as I haven't been there yet, but with the attitude, ridiculous up-charge for no reason, I definitely won't be going to 44th again. My bowl and my drink cost 29$. Absolutely nuts. I have been going to Tocabe since it opened. When they opened the location in Greenwood Village, I started going there primarily because it was only a few blocks from where we lived. I used to go a couple times a week with my kids or husband in tow. I almost got a job there because I vibed with everyone so well, but my husband got a job at Amazon and we were forced to move to the Seattle area for a couple of years. It is a long trek to get to 44th from DTC. Fraught with all of the traffic issues of 25 and I can tell you it is no longer worth the trek, in my opinion. It was also really cold in there to the point of discomfort. Turn the heat on. Seriously. read more

I got the Indian taco with chicken. It was yummy! The "taco" part reminded me of a chalupa shell which I actually really enjoyed. I liked how you could customize it how you wanted. I do wish more than 2 toppings were included but its fine. Service was quick it was like a chipotle ordering situation and the inside was very clean. There was also plenty of parking. read more
Their bison is so good that it runs out regularly. I'm so sad I wasn't able to try their bison ribs when I went by, but they have a lot of other bison dishes where they deliver. They had a special offering bison chili when I went and it was a good enough substitute for me. The way they cook, season and combine all these different ingredients create magic. For those that haven't been, you wait in a single line like you would at a Chipotle or Cava and order your meal / bowl. You can add your own twist to your bowls. Place is pretty cozy with a wood and native aesthetic fitting the American Indian theme. Easily a place I'd come back to. read more

Nothing bad to say about this place except for the parking lot-which is on the tighter/smaller side. I've been wanting to come here for a while now and am glad that I got the opportunity to try it. I got a shredded bison posu bowl, fry bread, and a black cherry soda. The bison was juicy and so flavorful, the fry bread was the best I've had, and the natural soda was yummy as well. Service was kind and patient, and the inside of the establishment was clean. There's plenty of seating space inside and outside, which is nice to have options. Definitely will come here again! read more
Unusual Native American food at Denver international airport terminal A. I stopped by for a quick bite an hour ago. Opted for the wild rice, spicy beans, bison stew, corn, and mild salsa. Service was friendly and quick. Total bill was $23.92 before tip. No place to sit, take-out service only, so I walked towards my gate and found a table to enjoy my meal. Food was filling - needed salt but otherwise the flavors were good. Bison wasn't gamey. Glad I tried something that wasn't a chain restaurant. read more

Tocabe was a big hit for my friends and I! The food was absolutely delicious. Ordering is a little like going through a fast-casual assembly line where you customize every part of your meal. There are different base option (salad, Indian-taco, etc.) and then proteins to choose from, and finally the toppings. The workers were super friendly and helpful with suggestions. I dined in and there were plenty of tables and a window bar to choose from. There's a small parking lot, otherwise street parking. I'll definitely be back! read more
Everything about this place was wonderful (other than the parking) and I wish I lived in this area because I think I would be here every single day eating something new. The location is very clean and there is a very large amount of seating, both tables and high tops, so everyone can sit inside, especially when it's cold out like it was when I visited. They have many different options here that include build your own bowls and some signature bowls. I decided to get a signature plate. I had the base being the Indian taco, which is more of a fluffy bread that was so flavorful that I have thought about it at least once a week. For my protein, I decided to get the ground beef that is made with house spices. I have never had such flavorful ground beef then this one right here. every bite had a wonderful flavor to it and I wanted to get a second plate, even though I had leftovers! It was more than enough food that I had a second full helping the next day from them! I got the sweet corn and the mild tomato as toppings and everything was so fresh! It was about $13 for the plate and well worth it! I also got a side of the wojapi in a cup and it was so sweet and refreshing, mixing it with some bread was the greatest thing I tried that was new! The staff and service was also over the top friendly and very quick with getting everything cooked, prepared, served and rung up for me! They also made sure the tables were always clean and the trash was never overflowing! super friendly and even gave me their favorite recommendations before I settled on what I ended up getting! read more

Oh my gosh, I 100% regret not eating here sooner! I tried Tocabe for the first time today and was blown away. We got a fry bread taco with chicken thigh and bison ribs. I seriously almost cried because the food was so good. If they are in stock, definitely get the ribs! They were so tender and deliciously charred with a berry vinaigrette based bbq sauce. They must sell out later in the day. Hey come with 2 small fry breads. The fry bread base for the taco was sooo crispy and doughy, it was great! I chose all 3 beans on top as well as cheese, hominy, and sweet corn. Not sure how you're intended to eat it, but I tore off pieces of the bread and scooped up the toppings. Tocabe strives to use ingredients from local farms and indigenous providers when possible. I appreciated their website relayed the farm/supplier for their meat. This is a great place to take someone who is vegetarian, keto, or into local farms and foodways. Definitely suggest this place as a necessary stop for out of town guests. read more

Someone called this the Chipotle of Native American food. For better or worse, I get it. This quaint spot serves Navajo tacos with bison meat. Yes you can get chicken or even get it with vegan beans but the star is the bison ribs and/or the navajo tacos. They don't always have the ribs but if you do, definitely check it out. It's not the greatest ribs I've had but the meat is flavorful, you get two pieces of fry bread and a side of berry sauce which can provide a nice contrast to the saltiness. I do love a good navajo taco and thought theirs (which you can customize with various toppings, hence the Chipotle comparison) was pretty tasty. I got the shredded bison meat which had a lot of different seasonings and added a depth to the taco but you can always get chicken or ground meat or beans if you want. The fry bread is a little dense but chewy and very good. Similar to a Vietnamese donut if you've had those. The one downside to the taco is that the toppings will make the fry bread a little soggy and that's the nice thing about the rib plate. No separate fry bread. The service can be a little slow because they hand make their bread but otherwise great service. Definitely recommend if you have time and are in the Denver area. read more
