We got a table within 10 minutes despite it being pretty packed at 7 pm on a Tuesday. We started with the El Minero cocktail which was great as well as esquites and the salsa trio. The Macha salsa is SO good! The esquites was also really good. We ordered a carne asada taco, birria taco, and chicken enchiladas suizas and enjoyed all of them! The carne asada taco was the least exciting so we would probably try something else next time. Overall, a great dinner, we can't wait to go back

Date night in Arvada. Old town has a lot of options. This place was packed on a saturday…read more Let's talk about service. First impression of the server was great. Personable and attentive. He was awesome all night. Their drinks were some of the best in the city. I had a paloma, wife had the casa marg. Both were very fresh tasting. For mains I did some tacos, and she did the enchiladas both ways. I was very disappointed by the Birra Taco. The shell was not a traditional birra shell. It was just some cheesy short rib in a regular street taco corn tortilla. They were all on the same soft tortilla. Maybe because they are 100% gluten free for everything. The lack of gluten really held back the tortillas from being very traditional or very good. The carnitas taco had great flavor. It lacked any crispy bits that separates carnitas from pulled pork. But the flavor was there. The enchiladas were stuffed with chicken. Great flavor for both ways. Creamy jalapeno was the winner. Overall the ambiance was exciting but a bit too loud. It didn't quite require yelling to have a conversation with someone next to you. But definitely a lively atmosphere.

They make their own Michelada mix according to our server. It has great a great spice to it. My husband also had tacos shaggy style with a Coin Margarita. My daughter went with the green chile cheese tots accompanied by a frozen mango margarita. We all shared an order of chips and salsa. Our service was prompt and attentive. We did ask for waters along with our drinks. Those were kept filled. Everything was tasty, as usual. This is a favorite of mine.

The 5 Stars were a toss up for me, due to approximately "10" TV's, which I am not use to, BUT THIS IS A SPORTS BAR, Family Bar, DOG PATIO, BRONCO BAR! Cochino Taco DELIVERS!. First the DOG Patio!! Just review the photos, DOGS are Important and they have their own special Dish "Asada" the Dog Special. Cochino offers the "Ease of Free Parking Lot!" I have driven by many times, promising I would check it out 'someday'! TODAY WAS THAT DAY! Aspen and I spent 2 hours at the HUGE off leash dog park, as Aspen chasing 100's balls throughout the park - it's time to eat! Cochino Taco Time: The menus are GREAT!! Filled with readable and pronounceable Real True to Life Mexican FOOD!!! And Drinks, ALL DAY HAPPY HOUR EVERY DAY! Cochino is filled with Cheers & Laughter, from the Patio with Dogs wagging tails - through the bar, dining room, side room, this is a great FUN Place. ""Did I mention, Broncos' were playing on all 10 TV's this day!!!"" The Bar has 5 Full Screen Tv's! Along with a TV in the side lounge, with 4 more TV's in the dining area (larger room). The patio is filled with people and their Dogs!! Not sure if there was a TV there, but a cute sign about "Doggy Manners" as one approaches the fence to the patio. Cochino Taco is, A FUN PLACE! and DAMN!!!! GOOD FOOD!! MEXICAN STYLE!! Lots of Drinks, Frozen and regular bar with Draft! (Cochino Taco is a thoroughly thought out small successful restaurant). Now some might say Cochino Taco is not traditional mexican!!! Ahem!! Hmmmm!!! The only place I believe one might find "Traditional Mexican fare" is in Mexico, Maybe!!! All chefs make their own style!!! What I found here at Cochino Taco was; a thoroughly delicious complete menu, with delightful service from the moment I stepped in, to the moment we left with warm Smiles. A perfect blend, having people returning for the FOOD, bring their best friends, family and - our DOGS, for the sports, and FUN Meal!!!! Most speak of the ALL Day "Happy Hour" which is from 11AM to 6PM!!! DAMN!!!! (FLUFFY!! said it!) The food menu was plentiful, including veggie style with hot sauce on the side for us timid one's, (speaking of myself). Ordering veggie style Cotija Taco & El Guaco Tostada, Asking about a doggy dish, not spicy or too much food; Kalian chimed in: "Oh Yeah, we have the Asada, we serve "Asada" specially made for ALL dogs!" "The Dogs love the Asada and we make it dog size portions!" Cost: $3.00, DAMN!! Honestly I do not know which of us, Aspen or myself, cobbled our food faster! Aspen's Asada or my Cotija & Tostada. I wanted MORE!!!! My waitress Kalian, was attentive, "just enough allowance" to know when we needed something or what to suggest. It was so ""Fluffy DAMN" Good!! I also viewed the huge basket of chips with salsas passing through the rooms; the basket of Chips was gigantic with 3 salsas; checked the menu....$4.00 WOW!! Cochino Taco is very unpretentious and yet draws a crowd everyday! The food, the service, comfort, FOOD, SERVICE (!!!) And the nice prices!!! Plus, I guessed 10 (!!) TVs' creates a wonderful FUN - Cheering atmosphere!!!! Meet a friend or bring the family, BUT U MUST Bring Your DOG!! Enjoy the patio, don't forget to ask about the "Doggy Asada" plus all the drinks you can imagine and GREAT FOOD!! AT GREAT Prices! Now that final price for all this fun and yummy food, less than $20.00!! DAMN!!! Cochino Taco is right off Ralston Road on the south side, just a narrow bit before town, all wooden building with off street parking.

But at the same time, I also did not mind having all of the servers to ourselves. We just got done with the massage and I was craving something Mexican. When I sat down and started looking at the menu and saw that there were so many different classics to choose from as well as some twists on new flavors. I was pretty excited to try this place out. I was not crazy about the chips and salsa. The chips are really hard. And the salsa is extra spicy, which is completely unnecessary. So we just didn't eat much of that. Put her food didn't come out quickly and it was hunt and it was very good. I had to cheese enchiladas and I cleaned my plate. My date had a burrito. Smothered and it looked. Super yummy. It was really good. I was very surprised at how good it was and how it hit home. I'm used to eating Mexican food in Mexico and in Texas and this was fabulous. When we got the bill, I was surprised that how affordable our mail was for is what we got. I thought that this is definitely somewhere. I would want to visit again. This is classic. Easy, fun, good atmosphere, good music, good vibes. Good service.

Wonderful seasonings and flavors, I expect many of their meats had been marinated for a lengthy period to have that much depth of flavor.

Now, a proviso, these are street tacos, so somewhat small, maybe 4" in diameter, so plan for your appetite accordingly. At around $3 a piece, you can't go wrong with any or all of them.

I came in for a bite and was so impressed that I came back the very next day. The birria tacos are absolutely delicious -- rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. I could say the same thing about the carnitas tacos. You can tell they take real pride in the food margaritas and beers here. What really stood out, though, was the service. Both times, my server Ana took amazing care of me. She was attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was just right -- definitely above par! It's rare to find that kind of consistent, genuine service. If you're passing through the area or just looking for a spot to grab great tacos and drinks, I highly recommend Mestizo Brew Cantina.

The carne asada comes with guacamole which is great, but doesn't come with much else.

It wasn't grilled, which is a huge missed opportunity for carne asada - it misses a lot of that great flavor. The eat-in area isn't the most inviting, but the patio on a nice day is the place to be. We took our food to go and everything went smoothly. The staff who took our order was friendly and helpful. We'll be back again to try some of their other menu items!

The food is consistently excellent. We've ate here four times so far and haven't been disappointed once. My personal favorites so far are the enchiladas and the fajitas.

The staff at Donna Maria are professional, welcoming, and attentive, which makes the experience even better. The restaurant space itself isn't huge, but it's comfortably sized, and we've never had to wait for a table.
