Tacos Marlene

Tacos Marlene has been around forever but has moved from a food truck to a standalone restaurant. It's a small space but the food is served up hot and delicious with tacos, burritos and tortas made to order. Very good pastor and barbacoa!

Hands down the best tacos I've ever had in my life!! My partner and I stumbled upon this place by accident, and oh man this was one of our best unintentional decisions we've ever made. We're from NYC visiting Denver for the first time. Walking into this place, we were all "nothing can beat NYC tacos!" My whole perception around tacos were blown out of the water and we were wrong. When we first entered, we were greeted by the couple who owns the business. Tacos Morlene is small, family-owned, and comes with family vibes. We felt welcomed as they were super patient with my partner and I who takes an awful amount of time scanning menus. After ordering, you can see them cook and get to work. The aroma was enticing and that was a signal that we were in for a good meal. There is a sauce bar with so many different sauces I've never seen before. Its a DIY situation and you get to control how much sauce you want! Their salsa verde has a kick!!! I love spicy and it made my tongue tingle. Packed with flavor and the spice was amazing. The meats in the taco were marinated really well. I can never eat another taco the same without reminiscing of the tacos I had here. Tacos Morlene is a hidden gem. When we get back to Denver, this spot will be high priority to return to.
