Taco trio
Adam M.

Overall, I thought the meal here was very good to excellent. I got an assortment of tacos, and as a meat eater, I would say the spicy tofu was my favorite of the lot, which also included Bison skirt steak and fish. My son got the kids quesadilla meal, which he really enjoyed, although the portion was pretty small and we ended up ordering a second quesadilla.

So impressed with everything at the Wild Taco. The drinks were delicious and beautiful! The tacos were so good and we even indulged in dessert! The staff were so friendly and attentive. Even the ambiance was cute, it didn't even feel like we were in Denver. It was a perfect choice especially because the weather was nice enough to sit on the patio. Would absolutely recommend and return!

Great happy hour and some great options when it comes to food and beverages. Some great places to take some selfies. The bartender was sweet but short. I feel engagement is pretty important, especially when you're sitting at a bar top, but it was obvious that the bartender was alone and still setting up by the time we walked in.

This is an update to what I wrote previously and my sentiment towards this taco joint hasn't changed. This place although it's not necessarily the best place for this cuisine is a solid place where you can enjoy food/service/ambience equally good and decent where you won't walk out of it being disappointed. Today what I noticed was the portion size of the three tacos I ordered from the happy hour menu. On the small corn tortillas, three meats were generously placed nicely and beautifully. They all tasted good to the point where I simply couldn't find anything negative to say about the tacos (not that I was hoping to complain about them!!) I also got me the Guacamole and Chips along with my three tacos. This, however, wasn't as good as I thought would be. The guacamole lacked a bit of flavor; it also lacked a bit of creaminess where it tasted a bit dry. As this was my mid day late lunch or early evening meal between some businesses I was taking care of in the very neighborhood this afternoon, its convenient location perfectly served my needs. As a matter of fact, this has restaurant been my go to casual taco place I can easily walk in on any given day/time for the last several months (this place has a location closer to my DTC house and yet I am more comfortable with dining at this Berkeley location to be frank.) Once I was done eating, I heard a friendly "Thanks for coming in today" goodbye word uttered by the male bartender. Service is solid here.

The food is immaculate, drinks are always really well made and refreshing and staff are helpful. Nice casual place to grab awesome food.

First time here for some tacos, food was fire. Service was 10/10 they got happy hours on Monday all day! Portions are very generous for the price. Would recommend here to anyone visiting

Guacamole
Annette T.

Love this location, it is so cute inside! I got the bulgogi and chicken waffle tacos and both were so unique and tasty! This place is known for their fusion/unique tacos so don't come here expecting authentic Mexican street tacos. Also had the guacamole which was great as well. Service was fast. Would come back to this location anytime! It's right next to Flyte Co Brewing too.

Carnitas taco and coconut shrimp taco

More upscale taco place. The food is delicious and service was great! They have awesome weekday specials like happy hour. The decore is adorable! A must try!!

The cheese dip wasn't really our thing, but the rest of our experience was wonderful! We loved having so many taco options && being able to order as many as we want. We found this to be the perfect compromise between a happy hour snack and dinner.

Margarita
Courtland M.

The veggie tacos were great! The flavors were amazing and they had some interesting combinations. Drinks and vibes were also on point. Most importantly the price was great for Denver. Definitely recommend!

Tried this spot for date night on a Friday night, relaxed vibes, indoor + outdoor + bar seating, quick and friendly service. The food was good, lots of creative taco flavor options. In order that we liked them: 1. Ahi taco 2. Skirt steak 3. Bulgogi (Korean bbq) 4. Pastor 5. Shrimp esquite 6. Fried fish Chips and Guac were solid too. The reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is solely due to price for portion size. The range was $4.50-6.50 per taco, and $9 for chips + guac, have to pay extra for salsa. I think this is a common price range for "gourmet" tacos, but each taco is on the smaller side. Portion wise - I think you'd need about 3 tacos per person to feel full, could maybe get away with 2 if you're not that hungry.

Chips and guacamole & salsa ; salad

We stopped by during Denver Restaurant Week for the first time. The interior has a super fun design! We tried the salad, chips and guac/salsa, elote fritters, chicken tinga taquitos, chicken tinga taco, carnitas taco, and churro stack. The churros were one of the best things I have ever eaten! I will be dreaming of them for a while and would totally come back for those. Everything else was tasty too. The tortillas used for the tacos were very flimsy and not durable, which made eating the tacos a mess, but the flavor was yummy. Service was friendly!

Absolutely adored the carrot margarita + beet margarita I tried during my meal today. In addition, highly recommend the tacos I ordered: beef bulgogi taco, chicken and waffles taco, and coconut shrimp taco

See all

Torta was mediocre barely any flavor and the serving size was tiny for the price. You're better off getting the tacos instead

Ask the Community - Wild Taco - Berkeley

Is it noisy for brunch?

I don't think so! The patio is pretty quiet considering it's on 38th and the inside is pleasant too. They play music but not so loud that you can't hear your table conversations. :)

Looking at taco places, I went with something close by to our location and found this hidden gem. Nestled away on a small street corner of Clay Street and 32nd Ave. parking can be scarce, but I'm sure with the right time and a little bit of walking you will find and manage your way here. Outside the restaurant, they have a small seating area which now is winter too cold to enjoy, but I'm sure in the spring and summer and fall time is super enjoyable. The inside, though a little bit tiny and no cozier than going to your mom's house and expecting a family Filled living room/Kitchen. We went down and greeted by three smiling faces. We already looked at the photos online and knew we want tacos so opted with the chicken tacos and Carne Asada taco plates. The tacos place option came with 5 tacos with up to 2 choices of meats the ratio would be 2:3 .. freshly mashed guacamole made in front of you or freshly sliced avocado.. In the pictures I listed you will find each chicken and Carne Asada options. Both slow pictures missing two tacos because we devoured them as soon as we got into the truck. Their street tacos are heavenly! Chicken option was all chicken breast super juicy grilled to perfection five tacos on a plate another two tacos missing because my husband and I devoured it. This plate came we asked it with the guacamole option instead of fresh avocado. The carne asada was just FULL of flavor and the fresh avocado slices with green tomatillo salsa SLAPPED.. the tortillas are super soft and tears from how fresh the flour tortillas were!! Definitely a place to sit and eat there to enjoy the hot food. I'm originally from SoCal and a heavily populated Latinos with amazing tacos and food.. Taqueria La Familia passed the bar high!! We can't wait to come back and try other options and will update pictures and review then!

Venalonzo's Centennial, CO · Street-Style Tacos…read more The Best Tacos in the Denver Suburb Area -- Full Stop. Venalonzo's is precisely the kind of establishment that rewards those willing to look past first impressions. The Centennial location is compact and the line can stretch, but do not let that deter you -- this kitchen operates with a velocity and precision that puts most full-service restaurants to shame. "Plates emerge from the kitchen in a near-constant stream -- the kind of efficiency that only comes from genuine mastery of the craft." The Quesabirria (order of 3) is the undisputed centerpiece of the menu and my standing order without exception. Crisp, cheese-lacquered tortillas enveloping deeply braised birria -- accompanied by a rich consommé for dipping -- it is the sort of dish that renders all other taco conversations irrelevant. A word on logistics: the Centennial location is ideally suited for a solo visit or a small group lunch -- it is my go-to for a quick, exceptional midday break. For larger parties or those who prefer a more relaxed setting, the Parker location offers considerably more space and seating without sacrificing quality Ratings: Food: 4.5/5 ; Quality: 3.5/5 ; Price: 3.5/5 Service: 4.5/5 ; Ambience: 2.5/5

It's also very unassuming. It looks like a very small restaurant on the outside but once you are inside, you'll be shocked to see its good size dining area. This place is all about happiness. I mean seriously!! They care about their customers that get satisfied with their service and meals. And it does draw a very diverse crowd from the Hispanics to Caucasians to Asians, I mean you name it. They also get a lot of to-go orders. Some people came in, grabbed their food and went on their way for the night. My friend got the Torta Los Carboncito. This is a massive sandwich with plenty of meat inside. Since the menu has colored picofor almost each item, what caught my attention was the fish dish. There are two of them: one is trout and the other is something else (I forgot) but I got me the non-trout one. The lady asked me if I wanted the flour or corn tortillas so I went with the corn one. As soon as I got home, my late night snacking started. I only took several bites out of that whatever the huge fish. And oh my goodness, it was so delicious! Well-seasoned with very light salt. Although I mainly got it for tomorrow morning/lunch I had a hard time quit eating because of its deliciousness. Extremely welcoming staff (I even met the owner, Alex as he was dining with his family), quality food and value pricing, this place checks out for the hidden gem restaurant that's not necessarily super fancy but it's worth every penny and time. Yelping is so much fun. That is why I cannot quit my foodie-ness! What a nice discovery!
