I've driven past El Taco De Mexico so many times and didn't visit until recently. We stopped by for a late breakfast on a Sunday morning and were able to find a table easily. The service was super quick so it was not an issue that they were busy with limited seating. The smothered potato breakfast burrito was absolutely delicious! It was a large burrito and could be easily split. I also enjoyed the horchata. It's a local Mexican spot that is no frills but I loved my experience and will certainly be back.

Man listen!!!! My favorite spot was closed so I kinda cheated on them and messed around and found a better spot. This place is all women operated and they are so sweet great service. The place was paced and almost everyone had a burrito. I wanted a smothered burrito and was hoping it was good. I'm glad I got two of these because one wasn't enough! It was too damn good I have to rate it a 9.8 out of 10. The chili is a little spicy and it adds to the burrito it's missing nothing but a little tomato and lettuce if it had that 10/10. Either way this is my new favorite place for burritos! Pull up on them. The flan was a 8.5 out of 10 I needed more sauce on it. All in all the food was delicious!

What a great restaurant. This place offers authentic Mexican food and delivers on a great taste. AQUA FRESCAS: If you know Mexican food then you know that aqua frescas is a must. I got the Horchata and Pinneapple and holy was it amazing. The pineapple gives off an incredibly refreshing sweetness that's not too much and not too little. It feels as if it cleans your mouth. The Horchata is milky and cinnamon'y. It leaves you with this sort of skim milk aftertaste but it's very much welcome. THE PROTEIN: Lengua and cheekmeat were among my favorites. They are soft, delicious, and the texture is perfect. One thing I would recommend would be a little bit larger slices of lengua but that is a personal preference. THE GREEN CHILI: WOW was the green chili good. It's hard to describe the kind of spices they use but the place definitely offers a unique flavor. It tastes like green chili but upgraded to a higher level. Absolutely love it. QUESADILLA: I have no clue what cheese they used in the quesadilla but it is gooey and incredibly flavorful. The cool thing about the cheese is that it doesn't become a solid very quickly as it cools down, it seemed to have kept its gooey texture which is rare. I'm not sure how they did it but if I could eat my quesadillas like that all the time I totally would. FLAN: okay this is the game changer. Homemade flan is among the greatest desserts you can find. This place does it right. They have flan prepared in a glass jar that is ready to go. They made these homemade. The texture is silky, smooth, and thick. Some flaws I had in the past are very gelatinous but here they made sure to create a thick creamy experience. The flavor is sweet and the sweet sauce is to die for. I will come here for Mexican food again as they have amazing flavors and offer an authentic experience. Support your local businesses!

We stumbled across this restaurant by accident but so glad we did. We popped in (party of 2) on Monday at noon and the place was busy. About 5 booths inside and counter seating for about 6, then there are tables outside but only some are partially covered with umbrellas so if it's a hot one like today, you're going to be scorching. What I swallowed: *THREE TACO PLATE: I ordered the beef steak, tripe, and lengua. They were all pretty good. I asked for the tripe and lengua crispy and they tried their best. They were all still pretty good. The rice and beans also had good flavor without being salty. *HORCHATA: This drink was good although more sweet then it was cinnamony. They have a lot of variety of food items so definitely work checking out if you're in they area.

Delicious smothered green chili burrito, street tacos, and horchata. Burrito: very generous with the meat, wrapped with Mexican rice and refried beans, topped with crumbly cheese and covered in green chili. Their green chili has great flavor with minimal heat. I'm usually not a fan of burritos but I enjoyed every single bite here and finished big one! Street tacos are delicious with very tasty meat, topped with diced onion and cilantro. Corn tortillas are lightly pan-fried which add slightly nice crunch to every bite. Horchata: it's a real deal here - you know when you taste the rice without tasting grainy. It's a very small restaurant with limited seatings run by 4 hard working ladies. The line can get lọng all the way out of the door, so I'd recommend you to look at the menu in advance and know what you want to speed up the ordering process. Pricing is super good for the portion of food that you get. Highly recommend!

New favorite taco place alert!!! I can't believe we have been living in Denver for so long and hadn't had these tacos yet! Frankly it's a little embarrassing.. however now that we know about them it will be a regular spot! The tacos de asada we so juicy, well seasoned, and the salsa was perfect! Not too spicy, but spicy enough! Lexi loved the cheek meat tacos, and the marinated pork! We could have done with a little more onions and cilantro but other than that they were amazing! This all women kitchen staff that were working today killed it!!! Highly recommended for taco connoisseurs!!! Dan & Lexi
