    Tacos
    Sara T.

    Great, authentic Mexican street tacos! Small, mostly take out place in a strip mall in Lafayette. We went on a Saturday night, it was pretty busy but the employees were nice and efficient. We tried the carne asada taco, chicken taco and a carne asada burrito. Everything was excellent and they offer free sauces.

    Bacon breakfast burrito

    Such a great find! I've been here an embarrassing amount of times in the last 1-2 months. The bacon breakfast burrito is my go to, but the chicken burrito, chorizo breakfast burrito, and sausage breakfast burrito have all been amazing as well. Next time I have to try some of the non-burrito options!

Ours was about 45 minutes. They ended up seating us at a shared high-top table with another couple, which honestly wasn't a big deal. For appetizers, I ordered the shishito peppers with this orange marmalade-style dipping sauce, and WOW -- those were phenomenal. The peppers were fried perfectly with just the right crispiness and a little salt, and that sweet orange sauce paired with them so well. Definitely one of the best things we ordered. My friends also got queso, salsa, and ceviche. The ceviche was fresh and delicious, but the salsa was way too hot for me personally. I took one bite and couldn't handle another. For my entrée, I ordered the carne asada, and unfortunately it just was not what I expected. Instead of the thinner, flavorful steak I'm used to, it was a thick chunk of meat that was really chewy, fatty, and honestly lacked flavor. It just didn't work for me at all. The rice and beans were decent though, so no complaints there. The service was okay, but our server definitely seemed overwhelmed or maybe just uninterested. We often didn't see her for long stretches of time, so when she did come by, we had multiple things to ask for. It kind of felt like we were a burden anytime we needed something, which put a little damper on the experience. Overall, I'd probably give this place a 6/10. There were definitely some highlights, especially the appetizers and the atmosphere, and I'd still be willing to go back and try something different because I don't want one disappointing entrée to completely ruin the place for me.

Mexican music was playing in the dining room with only tables and padded chairs to sit at, no booths. There is a parking lot & an outdoor patio which could be great in warm weather. Note, they are closed on Tuesdays. We were seated right away & our server immediately brought over complimentary Tortilla Chips & Salsa. Both were good - the salsa was mild & the chips were good too but needed some salt. Service was okay, we did have to wait awhile to get our food after ordering & to get our check to pay. We ordered two combination meals. The first was two Cheese Enchiladas & one Beef Enchilada. The sauce on the enchiladas was great, very flavorful - nice & spicy and the cheese enchiladas were delicious with lots of cheese. We didn't care for the beef enchilada since it had shredded beef not ground beef. (We were expecting ground beef & didn't ask beforehand.) The other combo was a Cheese Enchilada, Chile Relleno & a Beef Taco. The Chile Relleno was very tender & cheesy. The Cheese Enchilada was good as in the other combo. The Beef Taco was disappointing as it had shredded beef & was soggy. We also had a side of rice & beans that lacked seasoning & was bland. Overall, big platters of food with wonderful cheese enchiladas & chile rellenos plus I always appreciate complimentary chips & salsa.

We got the Birdhouse Flight to start--guac, five-cheese queso, and their birdhouse salsa (a tasty, mild tomatillo). Seriously, it's the best way to start your meal. For dinner, we all had ramen. I went for the Hellfire with extra bok choy. This ramen is no joke. If you want something spicy, this is it. The chili sauce, flakes, and oil really bring the heat. The kids got the Tonkotsu, which was amazing as usual--great broth and super tender meat. I had my spicy ramen with a Juicy Bits from WeldWerks, perfect combo. Seriously, it's some of the best ramen and service around North Denver. Whether it's for a special day or just a chilly night. Birdhouse is always good. I totally recommend it!

So it was shocking that I found such a good bowl out here in Erie. I got the Hellfire Ramen, a tonkotsu-based ramen served with their house spicy sauce, chili oil, pork shoulder, and a soft boiled egg. The broth was rich and flavorful, the spice level was perfect (quiet hot but still maintaining a good balance of flavors), and the pork shoulder was tender but still has a bit of nice toothsomeness. Overall, this was an excellent bowl of ramen comparable to any of the top spots in Denver. The only slight downside is that the broth was just a tough too salty for my liking, and I would've preferred a soy marinated egg over a soft boiled egg. They have other ramen here was well, such as a chicken-based shio ramen, a regular tonkotsu, and a Thai curry ramen. I definitely would return to try the other ramen. If the other items on this menu is as tasty, I wouldn't hesitate to give them 5 stars.

They've made constant improvements to make the patio more attractive (they even added a covered area for cold or rainy days.) I figured they had to do something right to attract enough customers for their breakfast burritos in order to buy a truck. I am so glad I finally visited El Mercado to try their breakfast burrito. It was by far the best I've had for a very long time. I actually had given up finding a very good one in Colorado. I had the chorizo, and my husband the bacon one. That burrito was so moist it melted in my mouth, it was the perfect balance of cheese (lots of it I assume), chorizo and whatever else they put in it. A sign also says that they now offer breakfast burritos all day. Sitting at a table next to us was someone raving about his tamale (he told me they have added a new one to the menu and it is the best- $2 each, blue sign on the window). They seem to do a good business with people ordering to go, a lot of them regulars and I totally understand why. I will be going back to try their lunch menu soon!!!
