Great tacos and burritos! We’ve gotten take out a few times now and it never disappoints. I’m Mexican from Southern California and these taste just like home. Have been in Denver metro area a few years now and it’s been tough finding GOOD Mexican food.

Been here a couple times and enjoyed the food. The staff are friendly, so that’s a plus. My husband and i have been living in the neighborhood for about 5 years now and we’re so excited that there’s FINALLY an authentic taco spot nearby. Lengua and tripa is my go to for tacos. Last time we went, my husband ordered steak torta and that was pretty good as well. Can’t have tacos without salsas and all of the options were flavorful and has a kick. There has been so many places that opened and closed in that spot.. so i’m hoping they stay awhile!

My husband and I recently tried this new Mexican restaurant, and we were both so impressed! The food is authentic, delicious, and full of flavor—just like the dishes my husband grew up with. You can truly taste the love and tradition in every bite. The restaurant itself is cute and cozy, making it the perfect spot for a casual meal. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for a true taste of Mexico. We’ll definitely be back!

I have visited this restaurant twice. First experience was good, I got a breakfast burrito. The second visit was a horrible mistake I wish I could take back. Worst food poisoning I’ve ever had. Carne asada fries, 3x street tacos and a carnitas burrito. My partner and I shared the carne asada fries and shared the suffering.
