Simply outstanding. Cheek tacos and pastor smothered burrito were excellent. There was also a chipotle salsa that was great.

one of the best restaurants in all of denver. go early and grab a breakfast burrito . the green sauce lives up to its hype

Delicious and quite authentic . The menudo on weekends is really good and well balanced, lots of flavor but mellow.

This place is great! Pastor tacos . Smothered burrito . They're spicy so order the pineapple juice ! Definitely worth a visit.

Getting sick of this place. Plenty of legit authentic places where people are friendly or just neutral. They're always so unwelcoming here.

You can't find a better Mexican meal than the smothered chile relleno burrito ! A classic! Now you can get Coke in bottles too. Perfect.

Stop in El Taco de Mexico during the worst crush of a busy rush, and you'll be in the most jumbled, bungled, mingled, noisy , crowded and cosmopolitan spot in the entire city . Read more

Everything is good and I crave it when I’m not in Denver.

If I wasn't a vegetarian I would eat tacos de cabeza from here everyday. Best place in Denver for tacos .

1st time: very good. 2nd time: AMAZING! Recommend the Al Pastor . ???? ???? in my mouth????

Go to El Taco de Mexico. Order a delicious cabeza burrito smothered in green chili . Eat it outside if it's nice or take it home to go and watch It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia while you chow down.

Try this iconic dive's verde. It is an incredible food high that's full of invigorating spices, deposits of pork and a slew of hot chiles for maximum twang! Read more

Lengua and cabeza are stand outs. Barbacoa is another great choice, but it'd be hard to have a bad taco here

El Taco sets the local gold standard in green chile , that ubiquitous salsa stew made from green chile peppers and garlic that, if you’ve ordered correctly, smothers your bacon egg burrito .

Get the pork green chile smothered burrito ; THE best green chili in town , hands down! Mmm, mmm, mmmmm!

Pastor tacos are where it's at. Some of the best tortillas I've ever had ????

Had a bunch of different tacos last time I was there. Stand outs are the lengua & cabeza .

Anything is good here! Tacos Are the best in Denver!

Super authentic , the cabeza meat and chorizo are epic!

Delicious authentic food. Go. Taco plate is fantastic.

This place is the bomb local authentic hole-in-the-wall Mexican goodness. Trying their Poole. Heads up, it's cash-only. Doh!

Amazing tacos , super fast, super friendly staff

One of my favorite green chiles in Denver ! Spicy !

Get the chilli relleno burrito . Delicious!

Ask for horchata to drink! Rice water with cinnamon—delectable.

Great lunch spot . Get the green chili

Marinated pork burrito . Get it smothered!

The best Al Pastor and hot sauce I've ever had!!!

Chili Relleno Burrito smoothered is the best!

Chilli Relleno burrito . Do it.

If a wolfy-looking dude named Santiago strolls in ringing a single silver bell, RUN FOR IT!

I can't decide which taco mama I like best! Either way, al pastor 'esmothered' every time!

I love the special burrito . The tacos are great too of course

Burrito Special was ????????????????????????

Best green chile

Eat everything. It's all fucking delicious.

This place is the best . Great vegetarian burritos .

The menudo is good here, too.

Get the Carne Asada taco plate and the chile relleno smothered!

Chili Relleno for the win. I've been coming here for about a decade, and it never disappoints.

The green chile is amazing but any taco plate is just as nice.

You must sit at the counter here. Because I said so.

Yay tacos . Excellent meat!
