combo meal Combo Meal With Rice & Refried Beans

Lourdes G.

five stars for the taco "EL MEXICANO" (Griddled cheese, seared diced beef, salsa Mexicana, and avocado crema served on a corn tortilla). I found meat that's actually seasoned holy heck. I got mine on flour for a .25 up charge. The meat blew me away, it was juicy and seasoned just right. At first I kinda didn't wanna trust it because the inside is like a new gentrified business where you order off a kiosk (i hate that). but anyway ill come back this taco. I saw some influencer post saying they were hurting for customers so I wanted to support local regardless. Try em out and see what ya think. my meal was $16. reasonably priced for the quality.

This place is super cute and had no line on a Saturday afternoon, so we stopped by for some lunch. We sat at the bar, the server was a little slow, he might have honestly had a disability, but he was nice, you just had to remind him a couple of times for everything. We tried the chips and dip trio, and those were delicious. The queso was so well seasoned and the perfect texture, creamy and just right. Those tacos were OK, I'm a pretty tough critic, I guess the Beria were the best ones of the three that I tried (chicken and Carne Asada) but I don't think that I would be going across town for these tacos again.

Taco Uprising has a cool vibe and some seriously tasty food. I loved the chips served in a bucket. They were crunchy and addictive, and the salsa was mild with a hint of sweetness that worked well. We had the mushroom and refried bean tacos, and they were absolutely delicious. I asked for no cheese, and only afterward found out they actually have vegan cheese, which wasn't offered, which was bit of a miss there. Also, at around $6 per taco, it's definitely on the pricey side. Still, the flavors were great, and I'd go back for sure (just with a few questions first).

As much as I am not sure if I call this restaurant in "RiNo" (as RiNo's boundaries are oftentimes a topic of debate), I must say that I like this quieter side of it where the Light Rail line L runs through; it's got some charms in my opinion. On this side, there are not a lot of competitions when it comes to restaurants. With that said, this quaint taco joint must be loved by the locals who reside in the area especially those who live on the very street, Welton. This place had been on my list of restaurants to visit for months. This was more so because I had such a disappointing experience at a different Mexican restaurant just the other night. I was in a dire need to have a little "sweet revenge" to eliminate the memory from it by having a nice/nicer meal experience. I am glad that I did come to this taco joint this AM to satisfy my hunger because the experience was quite good. Like I said, this place is fairly small. There are about 12 tables (all white; very clean.) There is a bar seating that is quite spacious for the overall size of the restaurant. Once you arrive, you either order upfront left to the bar or order at your table using the QR code. You can leave your tab open (for your entire stay so you can add more as you wish) or close it if you think you won't eat more than what you initially ordered. This option is convenient. The young man who greeted me upon arrival was pleasant to me; he explained all of this so that I could take care of my order with ease. Ordering using the QR code was indeed convenient. Once you have picked a taco of your choice, it will ask you if you want to sub your tortilla from flour to corn with no additional charge. I got me one of the Combos with 1) Potato Taco and 2) Early Bird Tabo. Both tacos are loaded with potatoes but the dish comes with a side of potatoes. On top of that, I got me a 2oz side guacamole (there are different sizes for this.) I don't know about other dishes but this restaurant is not stingy about the portions. At least that was the case for the two tacos I ordered. On the corn tortillas, the ingredients were generously place where I had to eat some of them first before I rolled my tacos to hand eat them. And of course, all the ingredients were cooked fresh and perfectly seasoned (both of the tacos are more geared toward breakfast as they included scrambled eggs.) They have happy hour, Saturday brunch etc.; this can tailor to people's needs and convenience no matter when they come to this place (they are closed on Monday just so you know.) The bar seems to have full function where they should be able to make most of the popular cocktails. It's a great place for solo diners as it's casual enough where people can have a quick/carefree dining experience. I will return next time with someone for the happy hour.

I had a great experience at Taco Uprising! I have celiac and am careful with the labeled food and the chef taking note of my allergy. I ordered to go in the cafe and food was out quickly and delicious! Taco uprising is also listed on the offline app with discounts available for visiting!

Fish taco, birria taco, chips, guacamole. Green Mile cocktail

The menu here may be small but I would be happy with a plate of only their fish tacos. The batter is so crisp and the fish is cooked perfectly, and the sauces all taste great. I also really liked my birria taco, it's been a while since I've had a good one since that whole birria craze started a few years ago. This one is hot, cheesy, meaty, and the consomme is fantastic. The tortillas taste fresh which makes such a huge difference. The value here is also incredible - 2-3 tacos is pretty filling for a meal, they also have HH deals which I'll have to come back for sometime. Service is incredible friendly, we had a large group of 6 and had no problem getting seated and having all our orders delivered in a timely manner.

Kim V.

The team at taco uprising was so welcoming. They have non-alc spirits so they can make amazing 0 proof mocktails like margs and espresso martinis. The food was absolutely delish! The burrito is a must!

Came here on a Saturday to take advantage of their happy hour deals and have tacos for dinner. The space is nice but also a bit smaller than I was expecting. We were seated right away and staff were really friendly and helpful throughout our meal. We started out with Green Miles to drink. The happy hour prices felt like a really good deal and we appreciated what you can customize the drinks. I really enjoyed the spicy Green Mile, it had a really good heat. To start, we got chips and salsa and plantains. The plantains were by far the best thing we had- they were so delicious. The chips were ok, a little thin, but we liked the salsa. For tacos we got birria, potato, and fried chicken tacos. The tacos were a really decent size for what we paid. The birria was good but I wouldn't say the best we've had in Denver. The potato tacos were good but maybe a little too much bean in there. I liked the fried chicken but took off some of the slaw because there was a lot and it kind of watered down the flavors. Overall, tasty meal!

Jason S.

Happy hour Tuesday through Thursday 430 to 830; check for other deals! Had a couple drinks and a couple tacos- the fried chicken taco was great flavor, but I felt that my chicken piece was very large, which resulted in a hard to eat taco. Service was great and this restaurant has lots of room/good space. I'll definitely be back.

Blu M.

I think the tacos at Taco Uprising look better than they taste unfortunately and I can't really justify the price of the individual tacos, as it's about $6 a pop. I got their birria, fish taco, and the El Mexicano(steak tacos). I think the best one out of the three was the El Mexicano, steak was cooked nicely and flavorful and loved the avocado salsa on top of it. The birria was ok but lacked flavor and the consomé was bland, didn't feel like it had any spices in it and also lacked salt. The fish taco was also ok but they should put more salt and seasoning because it lacked that. I think I'll just stick to my hole in the wall tacos because the more upscale spots continue to disappoint me

Lena N.

Trendy taco place. Stopped in for lunch. Plantains were very tasty. Tacos were good but could use more heat, even the hot sauce only had a little bit of a kick to it. Would be fun for happy hour or taco Tuesday. There's also a cute takeout window with dog treats!

Lauren A.

Absolutely love this little casual taco spot. Order at the counter, and then choose your table. They also serve alcoholic drinks and have a full bar! Don't skip the el Mexicano taco

Cynthia M.

Solid taco spot! Have been multiple times and have always had a good experience. Service is good, food is delicious and good portions for the prices, ambiance is fun. They also have a great happy hour. Plenty of street parking.

Breakfast tacos were delicious! I tried the bacon, early bird, and potato. Everything from the tortillas to the eggs was amazing. The owner was really nice too, you can tell he cared. As a Austin Texas transplant these breakfast tacos are what I have been searching for. I tried all the salsa too very very good. Also pretty big tacos, I couldn't finish them so also a great value. You can tell all of the ingredients are made from scratch and made to order for each guest. Can wait to go back and try lunch and dinner. read more

I do not know why I am so timid about writing a review about my recent experience at Tacos Uprising. Perhaps because all of the reviews that I have read about this new venture have been so positive. A second reason is that I experienced excellent service. The third reason is that I do not like to focus on the negative in any situation. So, please take my comments with a grain of salt. I was so happy to see another ethnic restaurant in an historic ethnic neighborhood. I thought that that the tacos would be more authentic especially since I was ordering them from a take-away-walk-up-window. Imagine my disappointment when I arrived home fifteen minutes later only to discover two six inch flour tortillas filled with what one might ordinarily find in a breakfast burrito: eggs, potatoes, cheese and chorizo (maybe a little cilantro). Nothing wrong with the ingredients. However, the tortillas did not survive the journey, so I basically ended up with two soggy mini breakfast burritos. The fact that I took away the 'tacos', that was my choice and I deserve what I got. I was still willing to live with my decision until I tasted my fare. I was shocked that both of the 'tacos' were totally without flavor. How could the mixture I just described be without flavor. I asked my wife her opinion. She said that the 'tacos' were alright but were flavorless. Ok, what else was positive other than the service? The prices were extremely reasonable...and the service was great. I would not recommend Tacos Uprising if you expect tacos of the kind you get at restaurants like Tacos de Mexico, Tacos Jalisco, Real De Minas Mexican Grill or 7 Leguas Mexican Grille. Will I go back? I might give the place another chance; however, next time I'll dine in and hope for a more positive experience. Did I say that that the service was great!! read more

The ambiance is one of my favorite parts it had warm lighting, great music, and the disco ball adds such a fun touch. Parking in this area is tough but worth it. Will definitely be back soon!

Great Rooftop Lounge for Date Night and Socializing…read more I visited 54thirty Rooftop Lounge for a date night and had a great experience. When we arrived, most of the covered seating and heater areas were already taken, so we ended up sitting in one of the uncovered sections. As it turned out, that was a blessing because the views were amazing. From where we were seated, we had beautiful views of downtown Denver and the surrounding cityscape. Between the skyline, lights, and rooftop atmosphere, it created a memorable evening. What impressed me most was the ambiance. The lounge had a lively but relaxed energy, and people were friendly and approachable. It felt like the kind of place where you could enjoy a date, meet new people, network, or simply unwind with friends over drinks and conversation. My date ordered food, but I honestly don't remember everything he had. I wasn't particularly impressed with the food, but since this is a rooftop lounge, the atmosphere was really the star of the show for me. Overall, I enjoyed the experience and would return for the views, the social atmosphere, the drinks, and the opportunity to meet interesting people. Perfect for: Date nights, networking, socializing, drinks with friends, and enjoying Denver's skyline.

Bedlam was recommended to us for late night drinks by staff working in one of the restaurants at our hotel. During our short stay in Denver, we went to Bedlam twice. The first time was around 11:30 on a Thursday night. We had a few cocktails along with a cheese and charcuterie plate. The second time was around 12:30 on a Saturday night when we came in for a night cap. The first time we came in, it wasn't too busy, and we were encouraged to sit wherever we wanted. The bar was full so we chose a small table. Our server gave us menus, though specials were written on a chalkboard above the bar. We each tired a couple of cocktails and had a shot called the Master Shot. We also chose the make-your-own charcuterie board. Our favorite drink was the Woo Girl, which allowed us to choose our spirit of choice. I chose gin and my friend chose tequila. When we returned a couple of nights later, we knew already we were going to order the Woo Girl cocktail. It was packed on a Saturday night, but there was a small table in back where they seated us. This bar is more for spending time with the friends you come with, rather than mingling, as staff seats you at a table. It doesn't seem like they offer standing room or just squeezing in, though maybe we just didn't experience that. That said, all in all, I really enjoyed Bedlam and recommend it to anyone going to Denver.

My friends and I tried a number of the signature cocktails and had a few hot toddys that were super good. I'm personally a big gin and soda fan and loved ther housemade tonic that was in their classic G&T. Did not try any of the food but the dawgs were definitely would be tempting if I was hungry. Loved the decor and the plants all up in the space. The space is a bit more dimly lit and I think of a reasonable volume for a date. Would love to come back and spend some more time here.

I had the eggs Benedict with duck, which was savory and tender- would get again, even if it was a little small for a $22 meal. I also got a mimosa and a raspberry beret- the beret was delicious and served with the coolest presentation- they used dry ice to create smoke! The decor is very maximalist mid century- love it! Great for a date or if you are impressing someone. Don't let the location scare you off- everything around it looks closed but once you get inside it's absolutely beautiful. I can't end this review without gushing about the staff. I had a weird fainting episode and scared the crap out of my friend- our server and the rest of the staff were on it, so sweet and helpful. They got me a cold towel and an ice bucket so that I could recover. I was so impressed by how they handled everything! Ultimately, I would come back just for the service, but the food and drinks were excellent as well. Definitely worth returning for!

My husband told them it was my birthday before we arrived so they made me an ube martini. Purple and fantastic! I ordered the tiramisu, my husband got a classic espresso and my best friend got the Dubai chocolate. All of them were beautiful! I think my favorite was the Dubai chocolate. We also ordered appetizers of the burrata and the sweet potato croquette. Burrata is always fantastic! The croquettes were good. They were doing Star Wars themed drinks for May the 4th so Star Wars was playing in a screen (that you could barely see due to the sun). They both got the red velvet espresso martini topped with whipped coffee. It was cute but very sugary. Service was fantastic! The staff was so nice!! Maybe I'm just not used to inflation yet but the prices for everything just felt so expensive!!

-All drinks $5 - Cash Only-…read more Fun speakeasy near Union Station. Lincolns absolutely delivers on the speakeasy vibe - from trying to find the door, to figuring out how to actually get inside (LOL), to settling in with drinks once you're finally through. It makes the whole experience feel interactive and memorable. **Tip: it actually isn't too hard to find. I won't completely spoil it for people who want the fun of the hunt, but I'll leave a few hints at the bottom. The drink special that night - their version of an Old Fashioned - was excellent and absolutely worth ordering. The other cocktails are liquor + mixer with the soda or bar gun. We tried a local gin (can't remember the name) & soda and a Four Roses Bourbon & Pepsi. There was a odd flavor that came with that round and tasted watered down. Stick with the special. So good! I'd go back all day for the special alone. The staff was a little bit of an outlier compared to the rest of the experience. Everyone was nice, but they didn't seem especially engaged, and the attire didn't really match the speakeasy atmosphere. That said, the space itself is large and immersive enough that once we had our drinks, we just leaned into the whole experience and had a great time. HINTS: 1. Go to the address listed... duh. 2. Something is COOKING through the glass. 3. Find the stairs down. 4. If you hear music and see some impressive doors, figure out how to LIFT the handle to get inside.

I've been here twice now, and it's officially one of my favorite spots near Union Station. If…read moreyou're looking for a lively, affordable night out, this is it. Atmosphere: The theme here is so cool! It's all about Abraham Lincoln but with a modern, artistic twist. There's really neat artwork everywhere showing different looks of Lincoln. It feels like a true old timey speakeasy. It gets very busy after 8 PM, so be prepared for a bit of a wait, but the energy inside is awesome. Price: This is the most budget-friendly spot I've found in the area. Almost everything is $5! It is CASH ONLY, but don't worry if you forget. They have an ATM inside for you to use. Drink: I ordered the Continental, which is their take on an Old Fashioned with a black cherry. It was delicious and definitely didn't taste like a cheap drink despite the price point. Service: Despite how packed it was, the service was incredibly fast. We got our drinks in maybe 2-3 minutes tops. The staff is efficient and friendly. Overall Experience: Whether you're visiting and staying near Union Station or just looking for a fun local getaway, I highly recommend this place. We walked from our hotel, but if you drive, be prepared to look for street parking or a garage. It's fun, cheap, and has great theme nights. I'll definitely be back!

The menu was recently refreshed and it shows. The mushroom paella was loaded and perfectly cooked, the burrata was a solid start, and the Turkish pizza with halloumi was a surprise standout. The poached cod was also great, especially the sauce. The drinks were just as strong. The L5 margarita with salt foam was really good, and even the frosé, which I usually skip, worked perfectly here. The vibe is a big part of it. The downtown views are hard to beat and the patio is easily one of the better ones in the city. Inside also feels intentional and well designed. Service was excellent. Avery was our server and it was her first day, which you wouldn't have guessed. Carl and Mark also made the experience feel smooth and welcoming.

I assume seating on the other side would give you a view of the mountains but we didn't explore. For the food, we just ordered 2 starters: eggplant fries and patatas bravas. The potatoes were dry and starchy and not crispy like I would hope and expect for the dish, would not order again. The eggplant fries on the other hand were amazing - crispy with a sweet glaze and perfectly tender on the inside. I would come back just for these fries. The seafood dishes looked and smelled amazing as we saw other tables get them and I'd come back to order other dishes just because the views, drinks, and service were so great.
