Good papusas. I got a chicken and an Al Pastor and it was good. Nothing that blew my mind away but they have a large menu so maybe I haven't found that hidden gem in their menu. Mile High Papusas is part of a food court so it lacks in the ambiance aspect as it is a tiny room you enter into where you order off a tablet screen. This place would be great when you need something quick for work but it's not a sit down restaurant. I will say the service was fine as I got my order within 15 minutes as it was pretty busy that day. read more

I had a perfectly serviceable lunch at Mile High Pupusas. I had a chicken pupusa and the revuela, which were both fine, along with a Mexican coke. Perhaps a little heavy on the beans for my taste. I probably could have eaten another one. Nothing at all wrong with this place and perfectly serviceable for a homey and filling lunch. The food came out in about 10 minutes, and they have a small place to sit inside which is nothing to write home about but again, perfectly fine for the meal. There are a lot of five star reviews for this place and I guess I just can't go quite that far. For five stars I want something more in the way of ambiance, the food to be a little more special, and to be served at the table. If you are into this sort of food, you can fill yourself up with tasty morsels for a cheap price, and I recommend you try it. read more

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. read more

We drove from Boulder because we heard about this place. We were really excited to try it out. We get there and it's a ghost town at the front counter. We wait and a young guy comes out from the back. I enthusiastically greet him and I get a stare. A glare really. He keeps glaring and in a tone that told me he really didn't want us there says what can I get you. I told him we'd need a little while to look at the menu. He says aight and returns to the back. We were stunned at his demeanor. My companion said he didn't feel like he wanted us there. So we left. We had such high hopes for this place. I don't know if he was having a bad day but this was unacceptable. A simple hello there would have been nice. Dreadful customer service. read more

This is one of those hidden gems that you may pass by on your drive.. well don't! Make sure you make this your next stop for lunch or dinner because it will not disappoint. I will warn you though, the pupusas are pretty big so unless you bring a huge appetite, you should be ok with 2 of them ($3/ea). The curtido and the salsa come with and when you add it all together it is a delicious meal. For 18$ we had 5 pupusas and a drink and we felt more than satisfied.. They do take cards and there's a very small area for you to enjoy your meal. It's small but it looked welcoming and clean. Give it a try next time you're on Hampden :) read more

From the moment we walked in the door we knew we made a good choice. From pleasant greeting to recommendations for our kids we were all taken care of. Every person order came in it's own box just as ordered. I had the asada pupusa and a quest pupusa both smothered in delicious green Chile topped with sour cream. We originally were going to take it to go but since there was seating and it was cozy we decided to stay. Music was playing in the back ground and we were even checked in on to make sure we enjoyed the meal. We will be back! read more

Highly disappointed. Spend $20 on what I thought was 2 orders of pupusas, which in the pictures depicted 3 pupusas with cabbage and sauce and ordered what I thought was an extra pupusas with one of the meals but it turned out to be only 2 individual pupusas and added meat to one. This is a ghost kitchen so there is no one to ask questions about the menu. This is a simple example of false advertising. The 2 stars are only bcuz the food actually tasted good, but still highly disappointed. read more

We ordered carry out and I opted for two zucchini and cheese. My colleague went with bean and cheese. The cheese was ooey gooey and the masa was really nicely flavored.

I loved everything about Mile High Pupusas! The service was friendly and the food was amazing. You can leave here feeling very full for under $10. Everything is made to order and they don't just have pupusas - they have smothered fries, breakfast burritos, tacos, and other yummy options. I had three pupusas. One was carne asada, the second was mushroom, beans, and cheese, and the third was ham, pineapple, and cheese. They were all very tasty. I will definitely be back. The suburbs really needed a place like this - small, locally owned, reasonably priced, and providing more variety in cuisine! read more

I started going when they were still operating out of their food truck, and honestly, watching them grow into a permanent restaurant feels like seeing your favorite underground band finally make it big... except instead of music, they're dropping cheesy taco masterpieces. The queso tacos are absolutely ridiculous in the best possible way: crispy, cheesy, messy, and worth ruining at least one shirt over. And the consome? That stuff could heal emotional damage. It's rich, comforting, and somehow makes you immediately want "just one more taco" even when you're already full. Every time I'm in Denver, this place is mandatory. Not optional. Not "if there's time." Mandatory. My vacation itinerary basically starts with flights and ends with tacos. So happy to see Kike's getting the recognition they deserve.

Some people came in, grabbed their food and went on their way for the night. My friend got the Torta Los Carboncito. This is a massive sandwich with plenty of meat inside. Since the menu has colored picofor almost each item, what caught my attention was the fish dish. There are two of them: one is trout and the other is something else (I forgot) but I got me the non-trout one. The lady asked me if I wanted the flour or corn tortillas so I went with the corn one. As soon as I got home, my late night snacking started. I only took several bites out of that whatever the huge fish. And oh my goodness, it was so delicious! Well-seasoned with very light salt. Although I mainly got it for tomorrow morning/lunch I had a hard time quit eating because of its deliciousness. Extremely welcoming staff (I even met the owner, Alex as he was dining with his family), quality food and value pricing, this place checks out for the hidden gem restaurant that's not necessarily super fancy but it's worth every penny and time. Yelping is so much fun. That is why I cannot quit my foodie-ness! What a nice discovery!

A friend recommended this spot, and I'm so glad! We went on…read moretaco Tuesday and had no problem getting bar seating (or there were a few tables available) around 5pm but I noticed after 6pm people were waiting for seating. The food was delicious! We got $2 chips and salsa off the happy hour menu and the queso con soyrizo (not on HH menu) which was served with warm tortillas. Honestly we probably didn't need all that because the tacos were so good I could've just filled up on more of the tacos, but still was a great meal! I ordered the lengua, pastor, and taco special (breaded shrimp). They were all so good. Think taco quality of a good street taco spot but with the ambiance of a cute tex mex bar. The bartender was great and made a solid marg ($8 on happy hour). You get a great deal on taco Tuesday but I'm sure you'd get great service and quality any day of the week!

Good meal but a lot of work and hassle!…read more Very limited parking. Left side of the building are a few parking spots shared by several businesses. Good luck getting a spot. Then you are driving the neighborhood hoping to find a spot. Finally parked and walked to the restaurant. Host told me it would be 30 minutes but the actual wait was 50 minutes. Spend so much time parking and then waiting, at what point do you give up and leave empty handed? Restaurant is VERY LOUD. Finally got a table and ordered OFF MENU. Server agreed to substitute shrimp for my enchiladas and they were good! Fresh corn tortillas were the highlight. Ordered tres leches cake and enjoyed it too. Was a nice meal but just not worth all the hassle.

We came here on Mother's Day, per my request. It wasn't busy at all and it's a cute space with a…read moregood vibe. Service was great. I didn't love the food though. I had the nachos, because they were on some list as being one of the best. The tuna was a bit chewy and the chips were a little thick. We had the fish taco and steak taco. Both were good, but not memorable. We will continue on our taco joint journey!

This place was great. I looked at their menu and really wanted a burrito but I couldn't pass up on…read moretheir tacos. Our waitress was very attentive and ensured our drinks were full and we enjoyed our meals. The restaurant looked very inviting and clean. The decor was really well done. I got the brisket, bulgogi, and the quesadilla tacos. All of them were flavorful and delicious. My friends really enjoyed the ahi tacos. The queso dip needed some taste and heat but all of the other dishes hit the spot. Definitely check this place out. You won't regret it.
