LET ME PREFACE WITH I DIDN'T ACTUALLY EAT ANYTHING. Last time I ate Mexican, I had hives for three weeks. I'm ok touching it but not ingesting so I haven't eaten any in a few years. So we ended here because we left the doctors office and Chuy's had cars everywhere. My older one wanted tacos so I headed to federal where there are tons of them. I found this place based off other reviews and the option for takeout. This place is so easy to miss because it's on the side rather than the front of the strip mall. It actually faces Evans, not federal. The girl at the counter was really patient with me. I don't know much Spanish but I know enough to see what is on the menu for the most part. She did help when needed and answered all of my stupid questions. It smelled really good and it was the first time it bothered me that I can't eat it. I got a shredded beef torta for my husband, barbacoa tacos for my older one, and 2 ground beef tacos and a quesadilla for my younger one. Everyone was raving about the food. I don't understand why people are frequenting chains anyway but our order took roughly 10 minutes to come out. Much better than the 1 1/2 hours at the chains on Cinco de Mayo. Even Taco Bell was really backed up but if you want to eat something authentic versus designed specifically to cater to the masses, who am I to judge? And yes, I am aware it's not necessarily celebrated all around Mexico. Personally, I was more interested in the dessert shop next door. I didn't get fat by eating carrots. I do plan on going back when it gets warm to go in there. read more

Do not eat here... Do not give these people your money. Disappointing operation given they were amazing previously. They ask you to use the ATM when the terminal works. So the make money on fees from the ATM. (Uber Eats app saves fees and pricing manipulation, that does not fix the rest of the issues.) The customer service is poor also, sadly. They are inconsistent with pricing. If you order the same thing each time the price changes pending on person ringing it up. Opened my food when I got home, fruit fly flew out. The smell was aweful. I am unsure if it was cross contaminated or rancid. Pork should not taste like rotten fish. The quality has declined into peril over the last few months and I have to call it what it is, a failure of a place that use to excel. read more

Saturday April 13th 2013, 12 NOON, 7 friends and I opt to have Lunch here for our Meetup. This time around I opt to have the Fish Taco and Strawberry Aqua Fresh less than $5.00 in total. I like the Fish Tacos, though I cant deny, my previous options of Tacos are way better. The service was slightly slow that afternoon. Furthermore, there are also other Patrons having their Lunch, so I can understand the sentiments if the kitchen was swamped. If I am not mistaken the first order to arrive at our table was about 12:27hrs ish. All in all my friends like what they order, with the portion they received that afternoon for Lunch. From what I could recall the items that my friends order were : * Several orders of Tacos * Michoacán Torta * Several order of Smothered Burritos, one of which just contains Beans for my friend who opt for the Vegetarian option. * A Supreme Nachos Piled MILE HIGH! aka HUGE PORTIONS * Enchiladas * Quesadillas I left this establishment about 13:10hrs coz I have a prior engagement later that afternoon. @84/2013 read more

See all

This was the second stop on our Taco Tour of 2/16/13. This place is located around the side of an unassuming strip mall off of Federal. After having eaten the tacos here, I would recommend this place to anyone looking for an excellent street taco. The tacos here are on the smallish side, but they each come with a relatively hefty serving of meat. My Carnitas (my normal favorite) taco was moist, flavorful, piping hot, and delicious. The flavor was solid. Best of all, this taco, like most of the "standard" tacos here was a mere $0.99. So, here you are eating a wonderful authentic taco, at tacobell prices! My Chorizo taco was also quite good. It was a little well-done for my taste, with some interesting crunchy bits. I had to try a third taco (I couldn't help myself). My taco al pastor was very nice. The salsa bar they had here had several selections of sauces ranging from mild to en fuego. I particularly enjoyed the green avocado based sauce. They were also quite generous at this establishment with bringing out baskets of tortilla chips for the table. read more

Nice people, great service excellent tacos , I came here for lunch and I enjoyed the atmosphere, the hot sauce. I thought the Assad and carnitas tacos were superb read more

Carnitas Estilo Michoacan was our 2nd stop on the illustrious Carrie C. memorial Taco Tour. Wow! The lovely food and cornucopial (yes, I have made up this word) complementary salsa bar were just so yummy! Fish tacos were what I ordered. Good beyond description. Next time I dine here I would like to try their Rellenos. Good service, beautiful food, low low prices, clean cheerful atmosphere. Many thanks to Doug Y. for finding this place and sharing it with all of us. I have taken the liberty of sharing Matt P.'s photo of us enjoying our food this afternoon during the event. I have given him credit below the picture. Try this restaurant...it is a real treat! read more

The food is great here I come once a week with the family and they never disappoint! And not to mention the price of food. The carnitas taste amazing highly recommended if your in the neighborhood read more

Wow. We were hungry and made a pit stop based on reviews. We got the steak and chicken breast tacos. $2 each. Wish we had gotten more! We will be back. There are lots of salsas and additions ready for you. read more

Very bad service i order a Hawaiian torta which by nature has to have pinaple in it here or in china and beef meat... but they gave me chicken onions and tomato...! Burn French fries it all felt like a joke.. . Stay away...! Got pictures to prove it.. : ( read more

Ironically, I only had the buffalo wings here. And if the wings were indicative of the tacos - the restaurant's specialty - then this is a damn good taco joint. Tucked away among the many taco spots that line Federal, this one really seems to stand out in both food and service. Sure, the aesthetics leave much to be desired, but it's exactly what you'd expect from an authentic, hole-in-the wall tacqueria - seriously good tacos and nothing else. Now back to the food. The salsas were a plenty and even got people who can handle the heat sweating. From what I heard around the table, the al pastor and carne asada were definitely worth returning for, which I will be doing in the near future...if I don't get enticed by their delicious, perfectly sauced, perfectly crispy, and huge chicken wings first. read more

I enjoyed Carrie's memorial taco tour so much that I took my sister-in-law and son here the next day for lunch. We had a total of 10 tacos, two aquas frescas, and a licuado. (I'd definitely choose the licuado. The aguas were not very flavorful to an American taste but were refreshing. I had the nearly sugarless lemonade.) Slow service may be a hallmark of this place, but we passed the time enjoyably with the free basket of homemade tortilla chips -- not warm like they were for the taco tour, darn, but still fresh and tasty. The salsa bar is wonderful. The tacos were wonderful. We all were full and had drinks to take home for under $20. The menu has many other delicious-looking options, so we hope to be back soon. read more

Great tacos and dishes. Try the asada and carnitas tacos they are phenomenal for only $1.50 each!

Meh. We both got tortas, which were huge. But they were flat tasting and somewhat lifeless. It's like they were missing something. I got the carnitas torta. Meh. I make better carnitas at home. My dining partner got a Torta Michoacan. The steak on it was fatty and not great. They didn't have the advertised kid's macaroni, so we had to buy an adult quesadilla for my 3-year-old. It came to $25 for the two adults and a child. We just got water to drink. Not exactly the cheapest. The salsa bar was big, but nothing tasted extraordinary. The chips were kind of stale? The service was lackluster. It reminded me of service in Mexico. But I've had way better tortas both here and Mexico. Meh all around. No me gusta. It's worth noting that it seemed like nobody really spoke much English there. That's not any reason that I've downgraded my rating. Usually, that means it's gonna be good. I just give that as a thing to be aware of because the menu is in Spanish. You'll have to order in Spanish. My dining partner tends to freak at this, so I take over. Which is fine, but I just make a note of it for the Yelpers. read more

I am impressed. I am from Michoacan the tacos were the closest I have taste to my hometown. The only bother is the corn tortillas needs an update. Everything to expect from a taco joint perspective. My variety 5 taco plate cost me $6.25 Need I say more? read more

Carnitas Estilo Michoacan - Awesome looking tacos - Mexican Near Me - Denver, Colorado

$1.25 tacos al pastor. And they're great. Salsa bar was terrific as well. So many great taco joints near S Federal Blvd and this is one of them. read more

Stopped in for lunch on a whim. AuthenticoAF. Carnitas were on point. Slight crisp. Chorizo equally good. More crispy than greasy which I prefer. Pastor was good with minimal pineapple chunks but deece citrus flav. Don't expect lettuce on your tacos. This joint makes theirs plain. Make sure you hit the buffet for bombsville sauces and toppings tho. Chips provided. Super friendly staff. Spent $13 on 5 tacos, a Monster and tip. Would again if in the area! read more

This was the second, and my favorite, stop on our taco tour. First of all, tacos are only 99 cents! And, they didn't skimp on the meat. Pacing myself, I again only ordered one taco. This time I went with the asada. The beef was flavorful. And, I really like that you can help yourself to whatever fixings you would like from their sauce bar. I was a big fan of the avocado sauce. Some of their other sauces were a bit too spicy for this white girl, but I enjoyed them in small doses. The other added bonus is that they brought chips to our table. The chips were fantastic, again with your choice of sauces from the bar. In fact, I ate so many chips that I was too stuffed to order a taco from our last stop. You definitely get your bang for your buck here! And, the staff were very friendly as well. read more

Went there on a sunday and was told there was only one cook, thats why my order was not taken. Why does a cook have to do with a drink order? Does he prepare the sodas too? Wtf? Anyways, both times I've been here, the customer service has been horrendous. The food is good but the service HORRIBLE. I MEAN HORRIBLE. Dont come if you wanna get waited on fast. It will never happen. read more

I have been coming here since it opened. They recently remodeled the restaurant some what. their service needs some serious work. My mom ordered shrimp tacos and she ordered no onions. She emphasized this part several times. What did the do, they put onions in the tacos. I ordered Asada and al pastor tacos. They hardly put any meat in the tacos. The pictures you see on yelp show a lot of meat. It's not like that anymore. I will give this place another shot again and hopefully give a better review. read more

I went here recently, as we were waiting for our food to be brought to our table a mouse passed by right beside the table we were sitting at. It was so disgusting to see they had mice. I told the lady up front what we witnessed and she was already aware of this issue and said "oh yeah we know about that she mentioned all of the animals had gone into there place since they were inspecting the other places beside them " another thing the clerk is receiving money and when you get a drink, there straws are not covered they touch them without washing there hands to me this was pretty gross as well. Definitely do not recommend it after what I saw. read more
