    Asada, Al Pastor, & Carnitas 3 Tacos
    Grant H.

    Their al pastor tacos are as good as any I've had in Mexico! These tacos are well priced, flavorful, and the red and green sauce are superb. These tacos asada and carnitas tacos were average to me, so next time I pop in I'll just get three of their fire al pastor! The staff were awesome, the cooks were quick, and the restaurant was clean.

    After being introduced to the most delicious birria tacos at a Yelp Event last summer, I have been hooked! Having visited their small Centennial location, I was beyond excited to see this new location, super close to home!! This brand-spanking-new space is larger than it appears on the outside and filled with a variety of seating (and patio!!), brightly colored flags, a full bar and smiley faces behind the counter. Staff is friendly, welcoming and provide great recommendations off their massive menu. I came for the birria tacos, but my tune changed when I saw the Birria pizza on the menu overhead. A massive birria taco (cut 8 ways), topped with allllllll the fixings with a side of consommé. YUM! We also got an order of mango hot wings which came with a side of fries. The food came out relatively quickly, was pretty in presentation and tasted delicious! Messy AF but so good! We ended up eating pizza with a fork to catch all the delicious ingredients. The consommé is the perfect consistency, delicious in flavor and perfect for dunking - although the pizza was a flimsier than the tacos. Pricing is on point for the quantity and quality, and I will easily return!

    Having been to the Venalonzo's off of Yosemite and Arapahoe, I thought I'd give this Venalonzo's a try. Again, equally as delicious as the other! This location is a bit bigger in size and can fit more customers that decide to eat in. Service is of course stellar as one would predict. Venalonzo's has been at a couple of YELP YES events in the past year and I enjoy when I can go to the business in person. Asada and chicken tacos for the win! The pickled onions (on the tacos already) are a tasty topping to these tacos! This Venalonzo's has just barely moved in to this new location. While still a bit under construction, it is a very relaxing place to enjoy your meal! Will be back for sure!

    Amazing and prompt service! Really enjoyed their consume that paired very well with the quesabirria tacos. The Al pastor was very flavorful and carnitas were juicy. Great selection of salsas and vegetables to add to your tacos. Margaritas were excellent and on the sweeter side. Easy parking and conveniently nearby Sam's Club. Great music and lots of TV screens to watch games. Would definitely come back!

    Food was outstanding! Got the Coin Margarita and it was super! Clean and neat place! Food tastes homemade!

    Ordered their new ramen soup dish and the Mac n cheese balls. They're really good! I just wish they had flour tortillas as an option for tacos.

    Was running errands on this side of town and was pleasantly surprised to see that a new Venalonzo's Tacos had opened up in the area! This location is bigger and way less crowded than the one on Yosemite. (I am sure once the word gets out, it will be crowded. They have only been open for a few months.) Same great quality of food and service as the original. A fresh salsa bar with all the fixings is easier to access. Plenty of seating, both indoors and outside on a side patio.

    Mango Margarita
    Bennett P.

    Large selection of Mexican dishes. They are on Yelp's Top 100 in the Southwest. This is their newest location. Nice colorful and well lit space. I started with a Birria taco and 3 street tacos (Carnitas, Barbacoa and Chorizo). They brought out two salsas. There is a separate salsa and condiments bar. I added a no-salt rim Mango Margarita. Nice strong drink with the sweetness of Mango. I was served by Nati M. She gave me time to make my choices. All fresh. I was still hungry. I got 8 hot wings with Mango Habanero with fries. I got a 2nd drink, a Strawberry Margarita. I was served by Angel V. The Mango was better. He said they also have Spicy Cucumber, Guava & Watermelon flavors. The wings and fries were hot. I noticed that they have desserts. So lots of future choices.

    Holy Birria's. AMAZING. These birrias were absolutely incredible -- packed with flavor, perfectly tender, and easily some of the best I've had. Every bite was delicious, and the consommé took them to another level. Definitely coming back for more!

    Always enjoy a skinny margarita on the patio. Also love their quesadilla de papas!!!! And chips and guac!! Angel and Cathy are amazing!!!!

    Always enjoy coming here! Their margaritas are awesome! Cathy and Angel always take great care of us. I really enjoy their quesadillas de papas and chips and guac. Huge fan!

We waited an unreasonable amount of time for almost everything, and the staff seemed completely inattentive and disorganized the entire visit. It felt like customers were more of an inconvenience than welcomed guests. Trying to get simple things like drinks (we never got to order refills), check-ins, or updates on food took way too long, and communication from the staff was poor throughout the experience. Even when issues were brought up, there was urgency and concern but then forgotten the moment they walked away from the table. What made the experience even worse was that by the end of the meal, the service had become so bad that we were literally trying to pay just so we could leave, and even the manager could not seem to bring themselves to come process the payment in a timely manner. We sat there waiting just to give them our money and leave. Finally a different manager told us we can just leave no need to pay. Unfortunately, the bad service completely overshadowed the meal and made the overall experience frustrating enough that we would not return. This was our second time giving them a chance to make it up bc the first time wasnt any better :(

    I've given this food truck two chances at two different breweries, and both times were a disaster…read more The truck looks cool -- graffiti-style with "Hot Chicken" plastered on it -- but here's the kicker: they don't actually serve hot chicken. False advertising right off the bat. On top of that, they can't show up on time. Both times I've waited on them, they rolled in hours late. One football Sunday they didn't even arrive until 2:40 PM... when games start around 11 AM. Not exactly a reliable partner for breweries trying to host customers. Now for the food: honestly, it's nothing like the pictures online. It comes out looking sloppy and unappetizing. Against our better judgment, my friends and I ordered anyway -- and all of us got sick. This wasn't a one-off either. Both times I ate from this truck, I got sick. That's a major red flag. The owners themselves are nice people, but the product and execution are unacceptable. At this point, the health department really needs to step in and inspect this truck because something isn't right. They also have a brick & mortar restaurant in Lone Tree, but after two bad experiences, I won't be going anywhere near it. If I see this truck at a brewery again, I'll be eating somewhere else.

Authentic, homemade, flavorful, inventive and delicious food! The owner, who stopped by our table to check on us and chat, is from Mexico City and brought all the flavors of Mexico to Colorado and I'm glad he did. Good food, good music, good service. Not sure what else you need?! On the small downside, yes it is a little more costly than other places. I think part of that is the location, Lone Tree being in a wealthier part of Douglas County. However, don't let that stop you from going, just plan accordingly.

The steak burrito was very good and flavorful and a decent size. Wasn't the biggest fan of the green chili smothered atop of the burrito; however, it was alright. It was a bit too sweet and tangy for my preference. The al pastor sope was very tasty, although they missed the pineapple i requested. I'd give the sope 5 stars, flautas 3.5 stars, & had I gotten a handheld burrito instead of a smothered one, I'd easily give it a 5 as well. my lunch date's al pastor burrito was good sized but was luke-warm and missing the pineapple he requested. he also ordered it with a green chili smother, which he didn't care for. The chili tasted sour, & he couldn't really determine the flavor (maybe lots of lime?), but it overpowered the flavor of the whole burrito. he well go back and try it again - definitely without their green chili. he also had a chili relleno which was very flavorful and average in size. the location is great with plenty of parking. the restaurant was fairly quiet, despite the time of day and number of patrons there. really nice staff. service felt slow, but we were famished, so that could be why. prices are rather palatable. I'd certainly return here again.
