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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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
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!!
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!
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.
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.
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!
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
Went with my mom after a long long long work week. We were able to find a seat on the patio on a Friday at 6:15. The sun hit just right. The street corn appetizer was by far one of the best dips I have ever had. Could have licked the bowl. The tacos were great, the coronas were great, and the service was quick and attentive. My mom had the shrimp quesadilla which was pretty good as well. Loved the ambiance- did not have a chance to go inside but the patio alone was great and I will definitely be back. (I do not have kids but the patio was definitely kid friendly!) read more

Love hearing you and your mom had such a great patio night, that…
Solid taco spot. Came with some friends on a Friday during happy hour (3-6pm) which is pretty awesome - $6 classic margarita and select tacos for $3.50. Fiesta! Margarita was flavorful, strong and came out quickly. For tacos, I went with HH specials: chicken tinga, beef bulgogi, and KFT (Korean fried tofu). They were all delicious but I think they gave me a bit of an upset tummy afterwards. My friends tried a few other tacos and gave thumbs up. I'd love to come back and try the chicken and waffles taco. We also split chips and guac; good portions, though chips did not seem made in-house. We sat outside and really enjoyed it. Shaded seating, plenty of it with one half dog friendly. The decor inside is top notch and one to emulate. Service was attentive. Reasons I can't give five stars is because 2 of my 3 tortillas crumbled apart while eating due to sogginess, the belly issue, and they use paper napkins. Otherwise, great work. read more

A Must-Try Spot for Taco Lovers! I came here with a friend for dinner, and from the moment we arrived, I was hooked on the vibe. Wild Taco has such a cool, laid-back atmosphere--it's the perfect spot to unwind and enjoy some amazing food. The tacos were absolutely delicious, packed with flavor and perfectly prepared. But the real standout? The guacamole and chips seriously, they were *to die for and I couldn't have enough! The guac was fresh and creamy, with just the right amount of seasoning, and the chips were warm, crispy, and oh-so delicious Great food, great atmosphere, and a prime location read more

The tacos were very good, the salsa or sauce used in them was quite sweet and yummy. I wish the tacos came with two tortillas because one of mine feel apart pretty quickly. The tacos were also a good portion size, I felt satisfied after my two tacos and half the churro. The churro is filled with Bavarian cream which comes out very hot so be careful or you might burn your tongue like I almost did lol. The ambiance is nice and fun, it was relatively not busy on a Saturday early evening but quickly got more busy by 7pm. I a that they had the AC going even though they are also open to the patio. That was helpful on a hot day. In general, I like it! Will return. read more

This is our second time going to wild taco and it was not as good as the first. We sat at the bar again and service was not great. We had a different bartender and she was very slow on service (she didn't seem to want to be there). It was very hard to get her attention to get orders in/ask for anything else. We ordered queso and each of us had 2 tacos (highly recommend the shrimp taco!). It took forever for the food to come out and when it did the food was cold. It was pretty apparent she forgot about our food and it was sitting under a lamp for a while. The bartender was very distracted by her phone and was also eating while serving customers. The eating while serving really grossed us out since she wasn't washing her hands. The group next to us was also pretty frustrated with her service during their dining experience. We do plan to go back since they have a couple great tacos. But we definitely won't be sitting at the bar if the same bartender is on service. read more

Amazing .... AMAZING tacos!!! The food was so delicious. Service was kind of slow and the drinks were honestly plain bad (I was torn between 4 and 5 stars but the drinks were so bad I couldn't justify 5 stars). I definitely recommend trying ALLLL of the tacos your tummy can possibly handle and have drinks in the nearby bars! read more

Super flavorful food and great drinks! The patio is cute and it was a beautiful day to sit outside. The service was a little slow but friendly. The Quesabirria tacos were great and the breakfast burrito was good too. read more

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. :)
