Yelp advertised closed time at 2am, google shows 11:30pm. I showed up at 11:15pm, door propped open, open sign still on, no less than 10 people dining inside, cooks still in the kitchen. They refused to serve me stating they were closed. read more

Best breakfast burrito I've had outside of California. Excellent variety and fresh salsa bar.

Tacos are great. Service not so much. I ordered before a line of people came in behind me and they were all served before me. Then upon coming home and opening my to go order, I was disappointed to see that I got the completely wrong order. I was expecting 5 tacos and got 3. All different types of meat than what I ordered. Live and learn I guess, just hard to open up a to go order and check when it's all wrapped up in plastic. Double check your to go orders at this place. read more

Maybe I was here early (11:15am) and perhaps the meat was cooked early in the morning. I ordered 5 Asada tacos that I have to say gave me mixed feelings. The first 2 that I ate, the meat was dry and a little tough. I noticed the last 3 tasted better. Maybe it sat on the grill too long. I will try this place again since it was base on 1 item. The nice benefit is Tacos here are only .99 read more

This is an okay place , taco mex seems to be a very popular place for a lot of people and I don't see why. I ordered some tacos and agua de horchata through the drive-through window , as I payed the cashier lady told me to park that she'll bring my food out. I parked and waited for about 15 minutes , I arrive home and opened up my tacos and they were looking more like just cilantro and onions , huge pieces of meat. I ate the tacos and later was feeling sick. I guess taco mex isn't really about their tacos. read more

Favorite authentic Mexican food in Denver. I hail from southern cali and Arizona so that's saying a lot. Everything is delicious and fairly priced. Pastor tacos are everything and their salsa bar is on point too. Def check it out! read more

Call before you go! We tried to go around midnight (it says on Yelp that they are open until 2:00) and they were closed. What a bummer. I was looking forward to trying it out. read more

Best tacos hands down here in Denver. I've been coming to this taco place since I was kid (like 20 years) and the tacos are still the best I have tasted. The place is a little worn down but the food is the best. I introduced some co workers to this place a couple months ago and they love it and go there all the time now. My favorite are the tacos de asada with an horchata. My girlfriend really enjoys the flan they make. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants some real authentic Mexican street tacos. read more

Ok, I changed my mind, these tacos rock. The portion of meat is perfect, and the meat is out of this world. Everything is flavored so well, and never fatty. The lengua is always on point and the buche is amazing. The salsas are so fresh, the hot sauce is so good, I love it! And again...for 99 cents, I just don't know what can possibly top Taco Mex. read more

The tacos are amazing!! I was told that Mexican food here in Denver wouldn't be good compared to California when I moved here.. then I found this place. So authentic, I felt like I was back in Mexico eating street tacos.. so cheap too! We will be back regularly. read more

Tacomex, Tacomex, I...love you!....Yes...I...do! I've been meaning to write a review for this joint, and after seeing the ROTD I was inspired to show some love. I just moved into the 'hood and Tacomex is conveniently located down the street from me. I was first lured in upon noticing a small, but consistent gathering directly outside the restaurant. They have a cook set up underneath a tent that will serve you up some killer tacos, one of which I'm addicted to. Maybe because they consist of the magical ingredients that save me from hangovers the following day? What ever it is, the pork tacos are cooked to perfection, and require no toppings (cheese, sour cream, lettuce, etc) to enjoy. On that note, you can save yourself from an awkward situation by ordering inside. Do not attempt to order from the cook outside under the tent. He doesn't speak a lick of English, unless you count "ticket", which is why you need to order inside...to get your ticket...then take that little ticket outside to the cook in the tent and prepare to be amazed! I also love saying "I told you so" read more

Love this place! This is the only place where I will eat Mexican food that I am not making myself. My parents are from Mexico and it's so hard to find anything that comes close to it, but this place tastes like home. Granted this is "fast food" Mexican food and they don't have some of the dishes I grew up with, they do however, have the fantastic 99 cent tacos....mmmm al pastor! read more

Okay so I love Taco Mex and probably go here more than 1 person should...but it's so close to my house and $.99 tacos? Love it! However, do you like cheese, sour cream, and other fun things on your tacos? Then don't go here, b/c that's not what kind of taco place this is. This is real tacos, there are dudes on a grill with a meat spit out in front, there's a lady with a car and CDs she selling from the truck, and this place isn't winning any awards for cleanliness anytime soon. Why go here you ask? Well that's btw you and how you like meat spit. read more

I have been to this place several times and the place was clean,the food was ok and the only problem is that the service was bad. The girls at the cashier were rude read more

By far since I've moved here from Los Angeles, Taco Mex might be the best here in denver. salsa is good, horchata is amazing, and they Dont have cheese in their burritos/tacos I've ordered the torta de asada recently and it was really tasty and satisfying. read more

I tracked this restaurant down after several of my visiting coworkers refused to go anywhere else for dinner. For three nights in a row. Once I tried the Al Pastor tacos, straight off the spit outside, I understood why. They were so delicious, and so cheap. The other tacos I had were very good as well. The horchata and agua frescas selection took me right back to my vacation in Mexico city. This is definitely my #1 place for tacos in Denver. read more

You know I ate at Taco Mex at like 2am once after hookin up with a lesbian from that bar right there C's, good Al Pastor from the guy outside grillin. I snuck out of her house famished and walked back to the bar, looking for a ride and saw tacos. I then spent the next 2 hours trying to get a cab from Saturdays. Thats an interesting little strip on colfax.... read more

Tacomex has al pastor that is worth the trip on its own... I mean dayum! These guys are the real deal and they're up there with the mixtas I've had in Chihuahua. Gotta love my neighborhood! read more

This place is right next to my university (both a blessing and a curse, but we'll not go into the latter). I always get the el pastor tacos, and some flan. The pastor meat is fabulous; the pineapple really gives the savory pork the extra depth of flavor that it needs. The flan is also great. It's not too sweet, and you can taste the cherry flavor throughout the slice. Sure, the tacos are small, but they're 99 cents. You can easily get full off of eight, and not break the bank. Sure, I've gotten the tamales, and the smothered burrito...but the tacos are where it's at. It's called Tacomex for a reason, and for such a good reason. Happy eating! read more

Great late night food! Our Uber driver suggested and I'm glad we listened. If only we knew how good the pork was when we ordered, we would've ordered nothing but pork tacos! They cook the pork outside and it was so flavorful. No worries though because everything we ordered was delicious! Chicken Sopas and chicken enchiladas tasted great. read more

We love this place. It's a fast food style Mexican restaurant with full service Mexican restaurant quality. They serve a variety if traditional and Tex Mex style food along with a huge seafood menu as well. We enjoyed the coctel de camarones, civeche tostada, chili relleno, and cheese enchiladas with a bottle of imported coke and a piña water. The fresh salsa bar makes it even more delicious. read more

I splurged late night bought a whole fish and it was so worth it. It was fresh and cooked well, gosh all these Mexican spots on Colfax are so good. read more

Ive had reall good carna asada nachoes and tacos here. Reminds me of authentic mexico, where they use open grills and have a great salsa bar and chips. They are open late and a good after bar food, if your on colfax. They also have Mexican Coke. I love thier food when I need simple tacos and chillies with a sweet drink. Reminds me of grandmas house. read more

Not good. The salsas were horrendous. The verde had black pepper in it and that was all I could taste. The red tasted like bbq sauce, it had no heat whatsoever. We ordered a few different tacos-carnitas, al pastor, trip as for my husband. It was all average, most of the meat tasted like it came from a hot well- not cooked fresh. We never got our fries, which were an afterthought because we weren't digging the tacos and thought we'd still be hungry. read more

Love their tacos de lengua!!! Los del pastor aren't my favorite I don't like them with pineapple on there but Los licuados de fresa y platano are sooo good and sweet. For me really what gets me it's the fact that they are open late!!! read more

I used to love eating here. Recently the past couple of time I have gone, my order has been wrong or taste like the meat has been reheated to mny times. I am mexican and grew up eating tacos so I know the taste right away. Over all my son loves the cheese fries and my husband loves the agua de horchata and de melon. I will give it 3 stars for that. Would I go back? Yes sure why not? The prices are affordable and the menudo will cure any hang over ! read more

Wow this place is awesome! a friend of mine and I went here after drinking at the house. 1st off if they are cooking outside, immediately pull over and get some tacos. 2nd learn just a tiny amount of Spanish they will appreciate the effort read more

The best authentic Tacos hands down!!!!! I have tried a couple of Mexican restaurants for there tacos and nothing compares to Taco Mex. I probably order the Asada tacos at least once a week. I am completely addicted sometimes I get the chorizo which is made outside on the grill equally delicious!! The cart of sauces is excellent and you get them yourself so you can choose which ones and how much you want!!! The girls at the counter are super nice and speak English +++++. But I guess I have become a regular also. If you are wanting cheap authentic Mexican food definitely must to try. read more

Tacomex is by far my favorite taco place to go to. It's truly authentic Mexican food. Growing up in El Paso/Juarez, Mexican food was the main food I consumed. Moving to Colorado was a huge adjustment at first because, while there is "Mexican food" I cant consider it authentic nor does it even compare. TacoMex is amazing and never fails to disappoint. Their tacos are so good and they remind me of home. Their horchata is amazing too! And to top it all off, they sell mangoñadas just like I could buy in Juarez, Mexico. read more

I've been in Denver about 9 months now and I still haven't found the taco shop that I so desire. Until last night! This is exactly what I was looking for. They had 1.00 tacos. All the pickled veg and roasted jalapenos as well as 3 different salsas at their taco bar. The service was very friendly and they were all Hispanic folks which I love as well. I don't get tacos from Honkies that are good for a buck ever. They think they can charge more. Mexicans just put a certain love into their tacos. Anyway. I only gave 3 stars because they weren't the best I've ever had but they were good and cheap. I will try some other things there and then reassess my rating. read more

Best Tacos in Denver, Hands down. Go on Sunday night for more of a mexican famiy party atmosphere. Pastor tacos off the spit outside are the best! read more

Honestly this place is disgusting. The meat is so old and taste bitter. They reheat everything. No fresh ingredients. Service was alright. I definitely do not recommend this place. read more

I lived within a few blocks of Taco Mex for an entire year before eating there. Don't make the same mistake I did. Go there now and order the tacos al pastor, chorizo tacos and the ceviche tostada. For the price, you can't beat it. read more

I am sure there could be others, but having tried and failed to find proper street tacos multiple times in Denver, I was thrilled to find this spot. They have some of the best pastor tacos I have ever had. This is definitely a lat night spot. They bust out the vertical gyro rotisserie in the parking lot at night and slice the meat off that to make your pastor. It's amazing and they are only 99 cents apiece. These are the best street tacos I have had this side of the border since I left Texas (where I unfortunately lived for two years). read more

This place has a lot going for it. Good flavorful tacos, but also an extensive menu if you are looking for a smothered steamy platter o' comfort-mex. I don't think they have the best tacos in town, but at night when the guys are slinging pastor and longanisa out in the parking lot, pull over and get some. Also; they are open way late so if you need a late night fix this is the place. Sometimes the place gets a bit dirty so close your eyes and open your mouth. Eew!! read more

I have been missing good Mexican food since I moved to Denver four years ago. The al pastor tacos at taco mex rival about the best I have had. It takes about four tacos to fill up, and a fresas con creme to top off. This is one of my favorite weekend treats, a perfect Saturday lunch! read more

This place is pure Awesome!! Dollar street taco's the way they should be!! A great help yourself mini bar with every topping available. Try the Cantaloupe drink. It's like heaven down your throat!! I haven't tried anything else off the menu, though i can imagine how delicious everything is. Great wait staff, traditional Mexican interior. First class!! read more

The tacos were incredible and they only cost 99 cents. I would never have stopped in except I was with friends. I will be back to try some more. read more

Thank you Denver Gods for this place!!! All I can say is that I found a somewhat home away from home! For those that familiar with my sadness over Mexican food in Denver I have found a place that took care of me the way SoCal does! I mean good god I went 3x alone last week for lunch, that's GOT to speak volumes! Trip #1: Mexican Street Style Tacos - SO good. ONLY ding is that they didn't make their own tortillas. Trip #2: Chile Relleno - Not bad! HUGE too! And so tasty! Trip #3 (and the clincher): Carne Asada Burrito - WINNER!! WINNER!! WINNER!! Well, after you order it without the rice in it. Homemade flour tortillas. ACTUAL Carne Asada; you MUST understand I've been to a few places that apparently believe that cubed beef is Carne Asada, FOOLS! Refried beans? Yes!!! AWESOME! Although a tad on the salty side however NOM NOM NOM! They have all the fresh fruit drinks and freshly cut & chilled fruit you would find in Mexico. I can't wait to plow through their entire menu! And the service ain't bad either! I am temporarily SAVED! read more

dry tortillas and mixed yellow and white cheese.. was hoping this place would be a little more authentic. Gonna try something other than this in Aurora and see what I come up with.. read more
