Mouthwatering Tacos in Aurora

Torchy's Tacos

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (683) • $$

"Since Cherry Creek Food Hall is closed, Mom and I decided to head over to Torchy's for "Taco Sunday". This was my first time at this location and Mom's first ever indulging. The location is clean, the noise level a bit on the loud side but the food delicious. Placing our order took time as the cashier was very social with diners. However the food arrived quickly and I must say, the chicken tacos are more flavorful than the beef. I ordered the "Republican" (Smoked Beef Brisket ) which was slightly dry, however the "Brushfire" (Jamaican Jerk Chicken) was deliciously spicy! Torchy's is pretty epic IMO."

Uno Mas Taqueria y Cantina

★★★★☆ 4.1 (418) • $$

"The salsa trio and guacamole appetizers were sublime. Wildly impressed, followed up with their Barbacoa taco and the cilantro jalapeño margarita I'm leaving this establishment so happy. Our bartender Kris was wonderful and attentive, that might have been the best margarita I've ever had as well. Cheers to these folks and I'll see them again soon. Ambiance was great too, lovely bar to sit at with friendly service."

Mister Oso

★★★★☆ 4.1 (388) • $$

"This place was suggested by a Colorado native and it was good. The overal ambiance was good, but the food, in my humble opinion, left a bit to be desired. What's interesting about this place, if you order tacos, they come in a big tin, with meat, and tortillas. Assembly required. But the thing was, there were three of us, and they put all the different proteins in one platter. We didn't know what was what. Overall, the food was flavorful, but nothing really stood out."

Cochino Taco

★★★★☆ 3.7 (444) • $$

"Sat on patio with dog. Queso happy hour chips were alright. I like the seasoning on the chips. Queso was very liquidy tho. The chorizo burrito was okay. Not as good as I remember. Server wasn't very friendly, didn't even look us in the eyes when talking to us. Overall just ok."

Tacos El Metate

★★★★☆ 4 (347) • $$

"Came here on a Tuesday night with a few girlfriends. They have plenty of seating so we ordered to eat there. The food was delicious and honestly rivaled some of the Mexican food I have eating all my life while living in LA. My The only issue was the food (two tacos took over 25 minutes. My friends said that wasn't normal and normally it takes around 10 minutes. I come to this area a lot so I will give it another go and hopefully don't have to wait as long. I really enjoyed the barbacoa and pollo taco's I had and am looking forward to trying more things on the menu. Overall 3.5/5 stars"

Torchy's Tacos

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (481) • $$

"This location is one of my favourites around town. Plenty of parking so call on all of your friends to join you for some tacos! With a pretty sweet menu this place has it going on. The Democrat and the Baja shrimp tacos are some of the best in my opinion. Recently I joint their rewards program and have scored some free tacos and queso. They do have catering as well so that helped me get the points to get the free food. They do get pretty busy during lunch but, over all they are quick to get you that taco fix that you might be needing. Bring your friends and some stretchy pants."

Blanco Cocina + Cantina

★★★★☆ 3.9 (279) • $$

"I remember when Blanco landed in Denver a few years back. I was blown away by the beautiful build out and their dedication to revitalizing this part of town. Years later, it's grown into one of my favorite chain restaurants because the food, service and cocktails are consistently top notch!Our last visit solidified it being a go-to when in this part of town. 9+Co has plenty of options, albeit many chain-type places. Blanco (and their other concept, Culinary Dropout) have always separated themselves from the rest.*Don't miss the weekday happy hour (3-6pm) and all day on Tuesdays*WARM QUESO ($13) -- Guacamole, Sour Cream, Pico de Gallo. We added Ground Beef ($3) and this elevated the already good queso into G R E A T queso. Chips were salted and perfectly crispy. The queso had the texture we all crave and love, and with the surrounding accoutrements we were devouring it faster than a race car at the Indy 500.TIGER SHRIMP FAJITAS ($23) -- Spicy Garlic Butter, Served with Caramelized Peppers & Onions, Elote, Guacamole, Pico De Gallo & Queso Blanco. Choice of Black or Charro Beans. I can't tell you the last time I ordered fajitas, but I'm really glad I ordered these. The amount of food alone was worth the price of admission. The shrimp were plump and juicy and had a great snap. The tortillas are made in house and you can absolutely taste the difference.Not to mention, my Cadillac Margarita, and even the salsa that came with the chips to begin the meal, were excellent. I literally have zero negatives at Blanco. Service is always spot on, and the vibes (whether indoors or on the patio) are always lively and fun.Impressed with this place since day one. No signs of slowing down. Check 'em out if you want a delicious meal in a trendy setting!"

Blue Island Oyster Bar And Seafood

★★★★☆ 3.9 (276) • $$$

"Amazing every time! From the top level service to the perfect cocktails and bites, never miss with this choice!Blackberry oysters were clean briny and perfectly prepped! The martini had the perfect balance and the spicy tuna roll was creamy and delicious!Can. Not. Miss."

Torchy's Tacos

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (359) • $$

"Wow!!! 5 stars for a chain???!!! Yes!!! This was our very first visit to any Torchy's tacos and color me impressed. The Scallywag: Taco of the month. The Scallywag. Coconut Shrimp, bacon, green chili, jack cheese, pickled onions, cilantro, peach, and habanero jam on a flour tortilla. DELICIOUS!!"

Brothers Bar & Grill

★★★☆☆ 2.7 (475) • $$

"After seeing the other reviews I was worried going in for lunch thinking the worst. We ordered the appetizer sampler from the sweet server named Vinny. He was so helpful and got everything right. The appetizer plate ended up being so so good! Best nachos I've had in a long time,'the lettuce on them really added something! Then we had burgers and a chicken sandwich, all of us were very impressed with our meals. We liked the roominess of the restaurant, and the games you could play. It was a comfy booth too. I would say so during lunch time and have Vinny help you!"

Vegan Van

★★★★★ 4.5 (163) • $$

"Love this place and these people. We're very lucky to have a vegan spot like this in Denver. Others have come and gone but they keep it going despite all the things thrown at them"

Federales - Denver

★★★★☆ 3.8 (201) • $$

"Two year later, the Hatch Chile Nachos at Federales are still fantastic! Came here with my friend after a happy hour event, and I love how late they're open. I already had my fill of margaritas but couldn't resist a heaping pile of dressed-up nachos. Every chip had plenty of toppings. It was all delicious. Service at the bar was fine. Definitely gets a little rowdy but would keep coming back again whenever I'm partying out in RiNo."

Cencalli Taqueria

★★★★★ 4.8 (116) • $$

"Really cute place on Main Street in downtown Littleton. We park at the light rail station for free and head over to Main Street. They have a happy hour (maybe 3-5pm). We started with a mezcalita, traditional flavor, but they have so many flavors to try! We also tried enchiladas and a burrito. The menu looks great. No doubt that we will come here again. The staff is so nice and helpful. The food and drinks were excellent; and it is a cozy place with exposed red brick and nice decor. Restrooms are just for 1, but very clean. We will add this to our list of spots in downtown Littleton"

Wild Taco Denver - Govs Park

★★★★☆ 4.4 (137) • $$

"We have patronized Wild Taco twice I. The last twoMonths. Both times the food and service were solid and the outdoor patio is just right after 7pm. Tonight with had the carne asada yucca fries which are amazing. A meal on its own but definitely a nice way to start. For tacos we had the coconut shrimp special which had just the right amount of sweet and spicy. I could have used a tad more slaw but loved the pineapple and fresh coconut. The chicken tinga are on the Monday night HH all night special for 3.50 and are a big portion of chicken. InOur last visit we had the taco Tuesday special with tacos and a margarita for cheap. It was good too. The drinks here are very good and reasonably priced. It's worth the 1.5 mile walk to eat here."

Romo’s Street Tacos

★★★★☆ 4.3 (114)

"It was good we had take out for work, the sauces they included were also good, I wanted to try the Tijuana Tacos but I think it would've been better or safer if we ate there at restaurant. Still I would definitely eat here again"

La Reyna Azteca Tacos Y Tortas

★★★★☆ 4.4 (93)

"I've been to La Reyna a few times, and on the website/menu, my mouth was watering when I saw all of these pictures of what I now know, are called, 'Quesabirra's!' (Didn't know what they were til then, lol) That FIRST time, they were pretty great. This last visit, my 'Birra's', were a little soggy and not as fresh. Other than that, I really like the flavor of them! My son had the carne asada's and he said they were pretty bomb as well."

Zapata Mexican Taco Shop

★★★★☆ 4.3 (94)

"How did I just find this place??!! Great Mexican food spot! Someone recommended this place and since then I've eaten here 3-4 times over the last few months. The food is always excellent. Service is always fast and you rarely wait to order and find a seat."

Pupusas Y Tacos Los Reyes

★★★★☆ 4.3 (88)

"Have been craving pupusas for a while and decided to give this place a shot. Food was good, it is authentic pupusa and tacos. The location/area though isn't great... they should actually consider moving to a better area because food is good. I just didn't feel safe during the day, I can't imagine at night. I side the place there's a noticeable open sketchy bar, I am 100% sure they have loud music, heavy drinking and who know what else. I gave 3 stars because food was good.0 stars to location1-2 stars of cleanliness 3 stars of service ( basically service is accordingly to the place)"

Pupuseria San Salvador

★★★★★ 4.7 (70) • $

"We happened to be driving home from Denver to Littleton, and passed by. I made my husband turn around. This was the first PUPUSERIA we had seen in a year (since our move from CA to CO) I entered and the smells were wonderful. I knew what I wanted. And made our order. Four 'mixed (cheese/meat)' and two large Horchatas (Mexican type)While waiting I chatted with Maura, the owner. The food is fresh, I loved watching her prepare our food. $25 for allCame home and surprised my Salvadoran daughter!! She immediately opened and prepared the 'salad' and sauce to her pupusa. My four year old grandson enjoyed his. He said; 'I like pupusa's', and we already knew he would love horchata. We will be back. I cannot wait to try the Salvadoran Tamales. And of course bring home more pupusa's. Thank you Maura!!"

Taco Rico

★★★★★ 4.6 (69)

Los Gordos Taqueria

★★★★☆ 3.7 (104) • $$

"No one else in here speaks English and that's how I love it.I did get a little sad that an extra salsa boat is 2.99 but I went for it.The tacos are plentiful especially 4 to an order. The skinny tacos are surprisingly good. Reminds me of the Korean version of this with pork in the middle of these lettuce wraps.The only thing I disliked was the horchata. It was kind of milk powdery somehow. Apparently I was the only one as it was the most popular agua fresca on the tables."

Mile High Pupusas

★★★★★ 4.7 (64)

"Easy to find. Lots of parking. Lots of menu choices (and they stock Mexican Coke). Ordering is fast. Payment is easy. The order (4 papusas...revuelta, chicken, lítico, and Hawaiian...and a pork tamale) was ready in less just a few minutes.The food was still hot when I got home. All was delicious, including the sauce and slaw. I am definitely adding this place to my rotation of lunch places."

Taco Bron

★★★★☆ 4.4 (71) • $$

"This is a new taco spot in downtown Denver and first impressions, it's very clean with a lot of seating options and there's a lot of room so you don't feel cramped. There are so many taco options and if you come early, they have a breakfast menu.I ordered the Al Pastor and Cubano tacos and both were so good. Both tacos have a lot of flavor and you get a good amount of protein in each. There is a sauce station near the napkins so don't forget to add some salsa and onions to your taco order."

Torchy's Tacos

★★★☆☆ 3 (151)

"Great location, parking, and staff. Torchy's always a good go-to spot. They have a big menu with lots of options, and they land everything on it. And a big bonus here, they serve breakfast tacos all day.Also, the food travels well. So, you can stop in (lots of room) or safely grab it to go."

El Lechon

★★★★★ 4.5 (60)

"Just mouth wateringly (is that a word?!) delicious authentic Mexican food. Everything was so delicious and made fresh on the spot. We were just obsessed with everything and so happy and so full and can't wait to come back for more on our next trip to Colorado! GO HERE!!!"

RxR’s Texas Tacos & BBQ

★★★★★ 4.7 (38)

"One of the best tacos I've had in Colorado. I was leaving the parking lot of an aging strip mall dominated by an ARC Thrift Store. I had just finished lunch at Bang Bang Asian Cuisine but saw this taco truck by the road. Intrigued I decided to drive by and take a look. Turns out they recently won top taco and salsa awards. Dang...just had lunch and I'm full. What to do...what to do. A good taco is my kryptonite and Taco won. I asked the owner what's his go to taco and he suggested the El Norteno...a Texas style sliced brisket taco with jalapeño salsa. I ordered just one...after all this is my second lunch and I dont want too much. The taco is massive. More like an open burrito with a 1/4 pound slice of brisket. The brisket was tender, Smokey but not over powered by it, and flavorful. Actually top notch brisket. The taco came dressed with cheese, beans and freshly sliced avocados. The jalapeño salsa was on the side...which I prefer. The taco doesn't get overly wet and travels better. The salsa itself is fantastic. It has a bit of heat and is nicely balanced with an herbal tone from the fresh jalapeños and cilantro. The olive oil is emulsified has a creamy texture on the palate rather than being wet. A rather chef-y touch. That salsa adds brightness and punch to a very meat forward taco. My only complaint is that I truly would have been transported to Taco nirvana if I had an ice cold beer with the taco!The gent who was manning the taco truck is one of the two owners. Super nice dude who likes to chat about his love for serving up some of the best tacos and salsa around. He's the mad genius behind the salsa and more "traditional" tacos. His business partner is the master of smoke."

G’s Tacos

★★★★☆ 3.8 (57)

"We sat out on the patio today with our pups and had an awesome experience. Our server set up an umbrella for us, grabbed our dogs water bowls, and gave great food suggestions. We had the carne asada burritos and they were yummy! This was our first time here, and we will definitely be back for margs and to try more food. I also love that this place is more of a local establishment than a chain. We need more places like this in Reunion!"

The Grill on Main St.

★★★★☆ 4 (48)

"We stopped here on our way from Denver to Estes Park. Upon walking in we were a bit worried, but we were pleasantly surprised. We got the carnitas tacos and they were fantastic. And we're from Cali and Texas so we know good carnitas. The onion rings were also good."

Wild Taco - Berkeley

★★★★☆ 4 (44) • $$

"We went on a Tuesday (Taco!) during Happy Hour.Started with chicharrones. Well executed, but not my style as I prefer meaty ones. The mild hot sauce was very tasty.Guacamole & chips. A decent-sized portion of guac. The chips are clearly not homemade.The carnitas tacos was filled with perfectly cooked shredded pork.The KFT taco was delicious. I will order this again.The other tacos were OK.+ Very good service. Friendly and knowledgeable.+ Atmosphere is comforting. I noticed that macrame and ferns are back.+ Average flatware- Paper napkins- TVs (I hate TVs in restaurants)- Kitchen staff surcharge$80.98 for dinner for 2 including tax and tip."

Torchy's Tacos

★★★★☆ 3.9 (42)

"Pretty much expect to have your face blown away July the flavors!! Taco of the Month and a slammin custom torch menu! I have not been able to get away from last month's special, the " Scally wag"! And the Baja shrimp is fire too!!Everyone here is polite happy smiling, helpful and remarkably chill for a place you don't have to tip. I tip anyway here but I'm curious if all the staff split those tips or are they only for the person at the register? Anyway- outdoor seating and several 75" (ish) screens and the bathrooms are almost always 3.5/5 stars which is remarkable for the traffic that comes thru all day. I've never seen the dining area short of people; just tables and chairs! Oh yeah- the QUESO here is fire!! Even if you're not a chorizo fan, it's so good. I use left overs on taquitos cuz I'm a fat ass. And they have the thin delicious and salty corn chips. lol. Pro tip- if you're not sure if you can eat 2 or more tacos, just order them one at a time. Trust me. Only complaint is the death trap parking and navigating to get there from 21. I'm now a regular"

En Fuego Cantina

★★★★☆ 3.8 (43)

"Stopped in here for a quick dinner before the Southlands Wine Walk. Enjoyed the cocktails and tacos, and great chips. Overall though it was a bit expensive for regularly going to. This spot has gone through a few different restaurants, and honestly all of them have been good and something I was sad to see go. The chef/owner came over to check on us ad the staff was very friendly."

Ocho's Mexican Cocina

"Wow!!! Just what the doctor ordered!! I'm from az and have had a really hard time finding good Mexican food! This place is fantastic!! 10 stars!!"
