    The bar was super fun!
    Tonia B.

    We stopped at Taco Party on our road trip home from Minnesota to California, and wow--what a gem. We tried several different tacos along with the guacamole, and everything was unique, fresh, and absolutely delicious. The flavors were creative without being over the top, and each taco felt like its own little masterpiece. The service was warm and welcoming, and the whole place has a fun, laid-back vibe that instantly puts you in a good mood. We genuinely enjoyed everything about our stop here--food, service, and ambiance. Highly recommend making this a stop if you're passing through Grand Junction!

    We visited Tacoparty for a dinner after hiking at Colorado National Monument for the day. I was still suffering a bit from food poisoning from the day before, so this is essentially a collection of quick notes that aren't completely fleshed out as normal: Pork Belly Al Pastor Taco ($7) - Is this really pork belly? It's more of a fatty-ish pork, kind of tough, not really tender like I'd associate with a nicely cooked pork belly. Nice sprinkling of cojita for salty, savory bite. Tangy, vinegary, crunchy peppers and onions. The al pastor is quite fruity and very porky in taste. Avocado sauce drizzled on top? Served on a nicely pliable and toothsome flour tortilla. Hot Fried Chicken Taco ($7) - Chicken is very smoky. Aioli mixed with huitlacoche, gives creaminess and a flavor I can't describe that well. Perhaps a bit of earthy mushroominess? The chicken is only a tiny bit spicy; in fact, I'd hardly call it "hot fried chicken". The "fried" part is kind of a misnomer as well. I guess it's fried, but it's fried so lightly that the batter doesn't develop any sort of crisp or crunch. There are julienned apple pieces included that add a nice sweetness to the taco, and are actually way more crisp than the chicken. Crispy Shell Pulled Pork Taco ($6) - Ingredients very scant. Barely any meat inside, maybe half an ounce. It's pretty good pulled pork, moist, but not much there. Plenty of veggies to round out the taco. Skip this one meh. Duck Confit Tostada ($9) - Crunchy blue corn fried tortilla flat on the bottom, topped with a bounty of ingredients. Firstly a layer of soft and creamy cheese spread on the bottom. There's the duck - a bit scant, but adding nice meatiness. There's hominy, adding a bit of a firm bite. A bunch of veggies. Topped with ezapote, giving an anise-like flavor with some minty notes. Sliced serrano - at first I thought these were jalapeno, but then a fire started in my mouth. Overall, all the tacos served at Tacoparty are very well put together with nice clean flavors. I did find it strange that everything arrived lukewarm to cold. This place is very pricey, double or triple the cost of more hole-in-the-wall taco shops (after tax/service charge, it was $37 for 4 tacos and the portion size was so small, we ended up getting more food elsewhere). They do make up for the price difference somewhat in quality. I think there's a bit of identity confusion here though. They try to be upscale in pricing, plating, and ingredient sourcing, but it's fast casual/counter service. Still, for an upscale taco (but not necessarily experience), Tacoparty can't be beat. Note: Tacoparty charges an 18% service charge, which is advertised on the menu and the cashier informs all customers about it. Bathrooms - Two unisex rooms

    Clockwise from top left: Hand battered cod, pulled pork crispy taco, duck confit and hot honey chicken. All amazing!

    This place was highly recommended so we went for lunch. Wow! Easily the most creative and delicious tacos we have ever eaten. Options ranged from pulled pork to hand dipped cod to duck confit, but also a hot honey chicken and a beef brisket taco. We have even returned to try the rest of the menu, including the renowned guacamole. Please don't miss this place if you're visiting like we are...truly unique! Cute and trendy place, too. Forewarned- they do charge an automatic 18% gratuity but the service is really good.

    Great diverse different tacos
    LC T.

    The menu here seemed interesting, but when we actually took the first bites of the four tacos we'd ordered, it was clear it's actually amazing! Each had a distinct wonderful combination of flavors. Have eaten thousands of tacos in hundreds of places and can say that the offering at Tacoparty are the most original and amazing. Had we had longer, would have been tempted to stay and stuff ourselves trying everything on the menu. But not this time. All the staff we interacted with were friendly, full of information and made is feel like welcome regulars even though was our first visit. Outstanding place. Loved Tacoparty!

    Crispy Shell Carnitas

    I was super excited to try this place. Reviews came across as positive and I was looking for something different. We ordered 2 margaritas that had very little alcohol and tasted like sugar water. Chips and salsa were okay, they only had one salsa that day. It's supposed to be a trio of salsas not just one. When I got home, the tacos were absolutely insulting! I felt like I was at Taco Bell. For a bill that was over $100 this was not what I expected and definitely won't be returning. Super disappointed with this experience!

    Okay Grand Junction food scene, I see you!!! Tacoparty really exceeded my expectations in the taco realm. I am generally a medium fan of tacos. I like them but I don't love them. Tacoparty out here making me feel some type of way!!! I had the cauliflower and the rockfish taco. Both were extremely tasty. The cauliflower taco was so flavorful with its mole and the cauliflower was cooked to a perfect texture. The rockfish had a delicious slaw and sauce and the flour tortilla rounded it out. 10/10 on these tacos. Okay let's talk about that guac. Wowie. Furikake? On guac? Eff yeah. I would highly recommend a trip here if you're in town! It's technically a work-a-rant since you have to order at the counter but I will forgive them for this as the food is just so freaking delish.

    Tacoparty, STAT! I'm a HUGE fan of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives (aka Triple D) with host Guy Fieri! When I watched an episode about Tacoparty in a neighboring city an hour away...I just had to go!!! Let me just say...I was in total awe of the episode and was literally salivating over the tacos and homemade guacamole, but to actually experience it IRL was AH-MAZING!! First off, the place was getting busy by the minute, the vibe was super cool and the overall restaurant and decor was my kinda place! Plenty of seating, a cool bar and I loved the artwork and skateboards adorning the walls! On to the food! We ordered some chips and guac (I'll get back to that). For the tacos, we got the hot fried chicken, crispy cauliflower, pork belly al pastor and the yam calabacitas. Holy mother of street tacos! They were all so delish and actually a lot bigger and more filling than I expected! And that guac...OMG...it was almost too pretty to eat...apple, radish pico, serrano, herbs and amaranth furikake...google it ;-) The service was excellent and quite honestly, they were the best tacos I've ever had! Highly recommend! Your BEST Tacoparty awaits!

    Soft taco: cauliflower taco - incredible! Hard taco: pork - wouldn't get again
    Bailey L.

    I considered giving them a three only because I didn't love most of what I got....but that cauliflower taco was so incredible I had to bump to a 4. I really wanted to try the pork belly taco but they were out of that by the time we arrived, which to their benefit was close to closing time. The chips were really good, nice and crunchy but the salsa wasn't our fave. For being a roasted salsa it was good, but that's just not our personal favorite kind of salsa. The skinny marg was odd...it had a weird flavor we couldn't quite put our finger on. And also tasted of very heavy fake lime juice...would def not order again. Overall we will definitely be back, but I will be trying others things in hopes of liking them as much as that delicious cauliflower taco.

    Guacamole dip.

    Hate to say it but lived in GJ my whole life and finally made it to TacoParty. Started with the guacamole. And it is a must it is not your regular guacamole. Please see picture. Tacos are not your normal tacos either. But the favor is unmatched. Presentation is what you would find at a high end restaurant and the quality of the food is high class. No wonder the head chef was up for a James Beard award. That is all I need to say.

    What a chic modern eatery! There are some pretty creative stuff on the menu. To keep matters simple, the four of us ordered one of each taco so we can have our own little sampling party. Guac to start things off. The only other time I had better guac was when it was mixed in front of me. Tacoparty's guac is also freshly made. They mix a lot of fresh ingredients on top you almost don't see the avocado (but can definitely taste it)! The seasoning used reminds me of fureikaki which is Japanese so this makes the dish pretty fushioned. Actually so are their tacos. Almost all of them taste new and exciting. Granted it's not the best tacos I've had but I would eat here again if given the opportunity. We also got the trout and at first I thought it was salmon as it had that signature salmon color. The fish was grilled to perfection and tasted fresh. The last best thing was the Szechuan honey peach soft serve! We were visiting palisade for peaches and this ice cream still had noticeable peachy flavors even after we spent all day eating fresh peaches! With a little kick of spicy and sweetness. We regret not getting an additional one to share.

    Does this place have out door seating so we can bring our dog out of the hot truck?

    There is no outdoor seating for Taco Party. However, the coffee shop next door has outdoor seating, which is plentiful.

They got all types of meats so your classic asada, adobada and carinitas all the way to your tripes, cheek, and seafood. So defintely I would order a good selection of tacos of whatever your heart desires, so like I'd say if youre just regular hungry I think 2-3 will do you fine but if you a real foodie I mean load that puppy up with 5-6 tacos you'll be fine trust. Besides the quality and flavor and meat which is the most important, I really want to bring attention to two things. Firstly the garnishes, I LOVE that they loaded up each tacos with a healthy amount of onions and cilantro. I LIVE FOR THAT. Also each taco comes with two little tortillas so its like your got your main tortilla, and a lil insurance shell to make sure you hold your lil hefty bois. Secondly, the sauces. Red and verde are the classic and personally big verde guy here but dude the pineapple habanero sauce?!? goodness gracious in all things that are amazing, that was the ONE. I straight up used like a quarter of the bottle I felt. Look it could be a mix of how hungry I was after the trek and the pineapple habanero blowin my socks off, but this was defintely an amazing lil taco experience and bet if Im back in town Im stopping by.

    Food has always been great. Unfortunately the young lady that was taking orders had the worst…read moreattitude today 7/18/2026. We will not be returning and we will not be recommending them in future.

    Had a phenomenal experience at Fidel's last night!!…read more The weather was perfect for the patio seating in the heart of downtown Palisade. Still love my little home town! The food was delicious as always. My suggestion is to try multiple different taco's because they are all very good. My favorites are the Oaxacan, fish and quesabirria. For appetizers you can't go wrong with the guac and elote. Now for the 2 things that motivated me to write the review. The cocktails were exceptional!! The fresh peach margarita is a must when in season. Last but not least the service was the best I have experienced in a looong time! Our waitress was attentive, engaging and friendly. She really made it all come together. I wish I remembered her name to give her credit.

They do have outdoor seating as well as indoor seating. Vibe is that of a typical, nicely and modernly decorated Mexican restaurant. Interestingly, they do serve shots on a wood platter (similar to that of a cortado with sparkling water palette cleanser), and half shots as well that seemed popular to the locals. The man that told us to visit here actually told of us this, and we saw it in action. We had to tap out after a day of wine tasting. Our party of 4 ordered the Oaxacan, Carne Asada, Bomb Ass Fish Taco, and Pork Carnitas. I would rank them in that order too from best to least best (none were bad, but the pork carnita felt a little dry as the overall consensus of the table). The Poblano fries were amazing. They tasted truly fresh and right off the fryer. It comes with 5. Loved the aioli and salsa too. Lastly, they had a house made pineapple habanero hot sauce that was AMAZING! Service was kind, attentive, and no complaints.
