    20 oz horchata for $1.99
    Brenda L.

    I got a 20 ounce horchata for $1.99! Great deal though their horchata isn't my favorite. It's extra creamy, sweet and milky which I am not used to. I prefer the more watery horchata. The worker there was super friendly and helpful as he could tell that it was my first time there. I tried the four ingredient torta for $7.99 called chalinga with steak, onions, chipotle sauce, franks, tomatoes and avocado. I loved the torta bread and how it was wide, flat and rectangular. There's communal table seating inside with high chairs. Tortas are served on plastic frisbee-like plates. My friends also enjoyed their chicken and egg torta called Chiva. You can get jalapeño rather than chipotle sauce if you prefer.

    Delicious and good price for tortas. Only thing, is salsa options. They only have that Chipotle salsa as an option. Other than that, delicious food. Definitely authentic for sure.

    This place basically serves Latin American paninis. Grilled meats from flank steak, chorizo, ham, etc. Fried eggs, fresh avocado, veggies and sauce. I recommend the chipotle sauce. Simple, great food. They also have some typical Latin drinks like horchata, jarritos, etc. The service was great as well, really friendly staff that was willing to explain everything to a non-Latin person. Overall, a great experience! Try it!

    This is the Suiza, and it's probably the best torta I have had in a while. I added some bistec with chipotle sauce. If you like spicy food. I would suggest some jalapeño on the side. Las aguas weren't that great, I had the sandia (watermelon) and it was just okay. Thankfully the torta and music was good enough to give it a 5. I will definitely be coming back.

    Best tortas you can get without going south. Made right in front of you without that frozen taste you get at other places.

    New to the Denver area and am looking for authentic Mexican food. This place is beyond my expectations. Latin Panini's and man was it good.

    This is my favorite local Mexican spot. I've been a patron for about 15 years…read more This time I treated visiting friends to lunch and, of course, they were not disappointed. The chips & salsa but, specifically the cabbage salsa, are enjoyable staples. The tortilla soup is also a must have. Sometimes, I just grab the soup plus chips & salsa. I like the soup because it's hearty and full of fresh ingredients. This time we enjoyed tostadas, street tacos, & green chile stew along with the standard refried beans & Spanish rice. And we didn't forget the alcoholic libations, rounding it out with margaritas and Corona. There are no complaints here. The food is always on point. The restaurant itself is always clean, welcoming, & prepared for a good time. The staff are always friendly & attentive. I also enjoy the entertainment playing in the screens & the nights with the mariachi. They are available on the food delivery app, too.

It's served with guacamole, pico de gallo, beans, and rice. I'm not a big fan of beans, so I usually ask for extra rice instead. The carne asada has a wonderful grilled aroma and taste, and the portions are always generous--there's usually enough left over for a doggy bag. The staff is quick and very friendly, and the menu has plenty of great options to choose from.

The street taco plate was delicious and you can't go wrong with the carnitas. The Burrito smothered in green chile was also fantastic and the pickled onions and queso Fresca elevated some different notes. Right now, the Venalonzo margarita is at the top of my list, only to be topped by the house margarita at El Camino in Missoula, Montana. Weird I know, but if you know, you know.

For two people, ordered a set of 3 tacos (2x barbacoa and carnitas) and then another 3 tacos (asada, carnitas, and pastor), birria egg rolls, and a bean, cheese, and rice burrito. Not a big deal but they put all the tacos in one box and I was able to differentiate which 3 tacos that I ordered. This place is super stingy with salsa. They gave me 2 tiny containers for salsa and then when I asked for a couple more, the lady said she could only give me two more. :( Excited to try the food and started off great with a simple bean, cheese, and rice burrito but outside of that everything else was very meh. Not sure how but all the meats were so dry, I ordered braised/slow cooked meats (barbacoa and carnitas). Asada and pastor were okay as well. Everything lacked seasoning and the salsa didn't add much to the tacos either. Birria tacos were also dry and consommé needed salt to be added. Value was not bad at $37.64. Tacos were about $3-3.20 per

Unfortunately, the customer service was disappointing. We were told our total was $32, but when I paid with a card, the final charge came to $34.93. When I asked why the amount was different, I was told it was because I paid with a card. I understand that taxes and fees may apply, but customers should be told the full amount before being charged. What bothered me the most was the attitude. When I politely asked for clarification, the person cooking responded in a rude and arrogant way, saying, "You know that in the United States you have to pay sales tax." I wasn't questioning whether sales tax exists, I was simply asking why the amount I was quoted was different from the amount I was charged. I also noticed that my receipt showed a Denver sales tax rate of 9.15%, even though the food truck was located in Aurora on Hampden, which added to the confusion. The food is excellent, but the customer service and lack of clear communication left a negative impression. I would return for the food, but I hope they work on treating customers with more respect and explaining charges more clearly.
