Why didn’t I find this place earlier?! Tio’s Tacos are absolutely to die for. From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed with such warmth and charm—it feels like home. Kevin, the owner, truly makes this place special; his passion, kindness, and attention to detail shine through in every part of the experience. The food is hands-down some of the best I’ve ever had in Colorado—fresh, flavorful, and unforgettable. This is one of those rare spots you can’t stop thinking about after you leave. If you haven’t been to Tio’s Tacos yet, you’re seriously missing out!

The asada on the chili cheese fries were tiny burnt pieces and not the same asada that was on the street tacos. The asada street tacos had more onions and cilantro than asada. The churrros tasted like they came from frozen with a bad chocolate sauce and a fake strawberry sauce. Honestly the drinks were the best especially the $6 secret ingredient drink and the bartender was way friendlier than the chef and it showed!! Worst part is I tried this place from a reel I saw on Instagram. My advice -stick to the drinks, chips and salsa!

We hosted our annual appreciation party at The Dive Inn, and set up food options with Tios Takos - Kevin the owner was easy to work with and was very communicative about the process and cost. On the night, we were working with Enrique and Olivia who made the whole process easy and the food was DELICIOUS! All of our employees loved the atmosphere and food, and we will be happy to come back and work with Tios Takos again and again! Thank you so much!

THE TACOS YOU NEED! Ordered the street tacos for catering and it did not disappoint! Devoured within minutes. Everything was delicious. Tender, juicy, and cooked perfectly. Watch out for the spicy red salsa-it packs some flavorful heat! Kevin the owner was quick to respond, accommodate our needs, provide a variety of options, and it felt good to support a local family owned restaurant in Denver! 100% recommend.
