This being my last review for 2025 couldn't have been a better pick for lunch with my son. Is this a little hole in the wall, yes it is. Seating for 6 at best and mostly a counter and a kitchen. Is this in a location that is just a little unexposed to drive by traffic, yes. It is off Sheridan and 10th Ave between apartment buildings and houses not what you expect. As I drove up to the location it is in a building with an off brand convenience store and a dry cleaners with no other businesses nearby. It's not real inviting from the exterior or even the interior as far as that goes. This is a classic case of " don't judge a book by It's cover " or you'll be missing out on a real gem for customer service and tasty eats. We were greeted upon arrival by a very pleasant lady behind the counter. We took one of the three small empty tables and studied the menu. You order at the counter and most of the customer traffic while we were there was Doordash type orders and the to go orders were steady. My son ordered three tacos and a bottle of Coke. I ordered the breakfast burrito with bacon as the protein and smothered with green chili. This is rare but my son raved about the tacos, not just that they were good. He stated that he would definitely be returning to repeat the experience. He said he could taste every ingredient used to make his tacos. My breakfast burrito was very tasty, every ingredient was cooked to my expectation. The eggs were fluffy, bacon crispy but not burnt and the hash browns cooked to perfection. The star of this dish for me was the green chili that smothered an already delicious breakfast burrito. We both agreed this was one of the best lunches we have enjoyed over the years. Don't be put off by the location or the exterior, its worth a visit. The service was good, food was excellent, the place was clean and the prices were reasonable. I don't know the story behind this restaurant but I hope going forward they get good business demand because good food and good service should be appreciated. In the last three or more years service has certainly declined and good food is harder to find at reasonable prices. I will be back when I am in the area to try other dishes and my son who lives not too far away says it is his new taco place. I would invite other Yelper's to give it a try. read more

This is a quintessential hole in the wall joint that provides good food with no frills at all reasonable price. They offer the standard American style breakfast burritos which are hefty for the cost, the chorizo has a small bit of spice. The salsa that comes on the side should be spicier, as it has none. Friendly staff. read more

This is a very small but delicious spot! There are only 3 small tables inside. The food is fairly priced and very tasty. read more

At long last. A taco place. In Broomfield. That serves real, delicious, mouth watering tacos. This is my families new go too. Hungry and don't want to cook? Kids complaining that everything you have in the house isn't worthy of consuming? Well this place is the solution. Their asada tacos are a big hit in our house but for me, the El Pastor will always have my heart. It's take out only and maybe that's the first hint that this place can't be beat. Highly recommend! Even your friends from California will approve!! And the flan!! Get the flan! read more

Great food! Nice place that's tucked away. Friendly staff as well! Love the smothered breakfast burrito!

Delicious street tacos! We ordered the el pastor tacos, the chorizo quesadilla, Cali burrito, and fries. Everything was delicious! When the fries were nice and crispy! Keep in mind, this is more of a carry out only restaurant. There is one table inside and a couch! I will definitely be back! This is going to be my go to place for street tacos! read more

Small place but food was good. Actual quality Mexican food in Broomfield. We will be back again.

Best taco spot I've found yet in the Broomfield area. Place is a small restaurant, tucked away. Not a flashy place, on't be fooled the food is great. Staff is super nice, it was our first time visiting. Checking it, won't be disappointed. read more

Great food. Very High prices for a place with no seating. Seems like as a take out only kind of place prices should be better and the three taco minimum requirement is just silly. read more

Tacos El Comelon - (from top to bottom) campechano, asada, papi and tripa tacos - Tacos Near Me - Broomfield, Colorado

This place is a neighborhood gem. Wish I had found it years ago. Does not disappoint. Pricing is on point, quality is on point.

Amazing food every time. Simply delicious and consistent! Would highly recommend. This is the way food should be. I review when credit is due and this place definitely deserves the praise. read more

My wife and I shared a chicken nachos and were thoroughly impressed with its freshness and flavor. We look forward to trying other items on the menu in the future. The one drawback, if it even is one, is that it was hard to find. There are no signs on the outside of the building letting you know it's there. It is the kitchen for the bar. It's is 21 and over to go in (so don't bring your kids) but you can order and get it to go if you don't want to eat in a bar. read more

I love street tacos. They are simple but one of my favorite foods. To satisfy my taco craving I frequently go to a certain place in Lafayette or another in Northglenn, but today I was pleasantly surprised to discover this takeout spot in Broomfield, which is equally good and much closer to my home. I ordered the Campechano tacos, which were double corn tortillas, filled with a generous amount of asada and chorizo, and topped with onions and cilantro. Not greasy at all. Delicious and inexpensive! Hubby had a smothered burrito and said it was also very good. He confirmed what I had heard about their green chile: it's very spicy! Service was great: the nice online Door Dash menu made placing a takeout order really easy and the man at the register upon pickup was very friendly. I'm 100% certain I'll return! read more

The tacos wasn't seasonal i seen this place had 5 stars sorry not the best tacos to say i paid over $15 bucks for 4 tacos

So ironic that I read a great review of this place last night & then my son took me here for lunch. Food was very tasty, lots of depth of flavor. He had a carnitas combo & I had the tacos Al pastor w. 2 kinds of salsa (tough to choose which 1 I liked more) & diced pineapple. On the side were lime wedges & cucumbers, pork was done well not dry & plenty of it. Hubby had the Al pastor quesadilla & it was perfect. There was a nice toast to the tortilla on both sides (not soggy), and the filling ingredients again had a great depth of flavor. He asked for easy on the cheese & it was the perfect t amount. Hopefully going forward they'll have less plastic containers, but I get it they do a lot of takeout business. Try this place, you won't be disappointed. They also open @ 6am & offer breakfast selections. Staff is friendly & can help with recommendations. read more

Gave us the completely wrong order for pick up. Asked for asada and they gave us ground beef. I asked for one order with cheese and lettuce and the other order with onions and cilantro, they both came out with cheese and lettuce. Beyond disappointed. read more

Papi's veggie taco is crafted with plenty of good thinking. The California burrito brought me back to California.

I was at the gun range and I heard the people between magazines on the next lane discussing Mexican food. I am hoping to fire an AR-10 .308 rifle in the near future, but that did not happen tonight. Remember gun safety and responsible conduct and ownership. Ok, ok, focus, before I start the review, I moved to the Denver area from Southern California. What is the deal in this area where Mexican food needs to be "smothered?" This doesn't happen that much back in Cali. Maybe Gavin Newsom has a law? Another question for the good looking citizens of Colorado. How do you eat a smothered breakfast burrito while driving? Yea, yea the Taco El Comelon review. Doordash again, I am working on putting the drivers kids through college. Remember science / mathematics usually have higher paying jobs. This place has reasonable good Mexican food for this area. I ordered nachos and they did not arrive soggy. Everything separated and in small containers. Good move Tacos El Comelon, now you are thinking, definite manager potential. The tacos and burrito were pretty good. Maybe a bit less of potatos in the burrito. Look at this four star rating as a very high four star rating easily working its way to a five star review. I will be ordering from this joint in the future. read more

This is not only the best Mexican food I've had in broomfield but probably the best restaurant I've had here full stop. Picked up from this spot 4 times in the last 3 weeks and somehow keeps getting better each time. Outstanding read more

Have been here a handful of times and have never been disappointed! Located in a rustic neighborhood bar (Lake Ave), the food is a hidden gem!!! Everything I have ever had has been fantastic! The tacos are hot and fresh and packed with delicious ingredients! The veggie taco is surprisingly good!! A nice variety of seasoned vegetables that are stuffed in a homemade tortilla! Their green chili is homemade and extremely flavorful. Nice kick to it! The owners are always very attentive and quick to help. I would definitely recommend trying it, and grab a drink from the bar as well read more

Tacos El Comelon - Tacos - Tacos Near Me - Broomfield, Colorado

Highly recommend! We have not been disappointed by anything we have ordered from here. From the carne asada breakfast burrito to the carnitas street tacos...delicious! And OMG, that green chili is the best. Looking forward to many more meals from here in the future. read more

Pleasently surprised. 1st time customer, (take-out) with Carnitas burrito, (smothered green $14.00), Chicken Quesadilla, (onion and Cilantro, $15.00), and an order of Sopapillas for dessert, ($8.00). I thought it looked kinda' expensive and thought, "it better be really good for this price". Well, Carnitas was very tender and a very generous portion. Green chile, very good, just spicey enough that I didn't add any hot sauce. Wife liked her Quesadillas (3) plus 3 or 4 little toppings, and the Sopapillas were worth the price. It's hard to screw up sopapillas. $5.00 would be fair, $8.00 is still a little pricey. I will definately put Tacos El Comelon on my favorite carry out list. Yes, It is hard to find, hidden in the Lake Ave. Bar. I want to try the Bar out in person. Looks like my kind of place. Packed with locals on a Sunday afternoon. Seemed like a real friendly crowd. I will be back. read more

this place is the BEST! I have ordered from here at least 10 times and every single time, it's amazing. The food is great (I always get the asada tacos), they are quick, and they always staple the bag shut for DoorDash orders. I will keep ordering from here- love it!! read more

Awesome street tacos! Fresh, lots of filling great flavor. Definitely would recommend this place.

Went to get a quick lunch today and it was great! Food was delicious and fresh. I had a "pregnant burrito" (chili rellano inside) it was great. My dad had tacos that he also liked. Service was also great! I'll definitely be back read more

Philly fries with rosted jalapeños is snap back from a long night and also a party for your taste buds

The burgers are great, the tacos as well, the California burrito is fire and the Philly is also delicious, this place is a gem!

I was tired of cooking and looking to grab something to-go for dinner when this place popped up on Yelp. I knew exactly where it was at since it's right down the street from me; decided to give it a try. They have a bunch of photos of their food on their website and a lot of great reviews on DoorDash as well. Essentially, it's a kitchen inside of the Lake Avenue Inn. If you want to grab something to go as I did, the kitchen is straight ahead and to the right when you walk inside. They have a really good variety of stuff on their menu. I normally eat tons of spicy food and thought about getting a burrito, but I just wanted a good burger. They delivered! Really good sized burger, with legit bacon, and a huge side of seasoned fries that were perfectly crispy. It was very filling and I could have easily made two meals from it. I am sure I looked out of place since I was the only one there grabbing something to go and trying to figure it out. I talked to the owner(s) a bit when my food was ready, and the woman told me they had been there for about a year and just happened to add themselves to Yelp earlier today. Looking forward to grabbing some more food there again soon, especially some tacos or a burrito! The bar would be a good place to grab a beer while you wait, though they made my food pretty quickly. read more

Fantastic food! A little hard to find because it's inside the Lake Avenue Inn, but it's well worth the visit. Food was hot, fresh, authentic and delicious. You won't be disappointed! read more

Taco lover here - speaking from experience....these tacos are legit! So fresh and yummy. We enjoyed some carne asada, Al pastor, chorizo, and one that I am forgetting the name of (lol) but ALL were amazing. The Al pastor was the crowd favorite in our group. The small town vibe at the bar was awesome. Everyone seemed to be "regulars" and all had a favorite item on the menu. One fella who appeared to know the chef personally was a fan favorite of a "spicy" Philly (not on menu), the bartender couldn't decide on what to order today "because it is all so good" and opted for an impressive looking quesadilla stuffed to the brim with who-knows-what kind of goodness. The atmosphere was dive bar (in a good way) very Cheers-esque with the bartender knowing all the locals' drink and meal preferences when they walked in the door. Service was appropriate for the made-to-order food. Salsa was the just right kind of spicy for this spice loving girl. As far as the bar goes, there are a few pool tables, some high top tables and booths, plus a few dart boards. Says MUST BE 21 to enter, so families likely need to Door Dash - unsure on this point. Overall, yummy yummy and immediately off the N-line train last stop for anyone wanting to check it out and have some drinks on the north side of town! read more

Tacos El Comelon - Al pastor (center) carne asada (bottom), special taco (top - can't remember name lol but delish!) and cold beer! 6 tacos for $17. - Tacos Near Me - Broomfield, Colorado

Excellent Mexican food. Learned about them at Top Taco and have been ordering from them on a pretty regular basis since and have eaten in once at Lake Avenue Inn. There was an issue with my first to-go order through Yelp where the order was populated on Yelp, but not submitted by me and was somehow submitted to the shop. When they called an hour after my order was submitted letting me know my food has been ready, I showed up to pick up my order and they remade it for me, without me really being deserving of it. Everything that I've had from them has been great, but I have a hard time staying away from the Cali burrito smothered in their green chili. The dive bar atmosphere only adds to the comfort food consumption. We'll be back many times I'm sure. read more

Tacos El Comelon - Cali Burrito smothered in green chili - Tacos Near Me - Broomfield, Colorado

Hands-down, best Mexican in Thornton what a hidden gem. They also just got a taco award at a taco competition.

Food is absolutely amazing. I've ate burritos, taco and their huge nachos. Usually I order delivery but today I had the day off so I had to see where I'm getting my favorite food from.. turns out it's in a little neighborhood bar, no advertisement or anything outside, for the best food around which kinda surprised me! I ordered a enchiburrito for the first time and of course tacos and nachos( I was hungry ).. all the food was awesome as always, but the enchiburrito. dang... 10/10. I'll be back and keep ordering!!!! read more

Found this little joint on the way down to Denver. Great outdoor atmosphere, great tacos and drinks. We will definitely be back for more!

Haven't had a meal I didn't enjoy and I'm continually recommending this hidden gem, inside Lake Ave Inn, aka East Lake. The weekly specials are always a new favorite, so we make it a point to try them. If you're not interested in the bar vibes, they make for a great takeout option. Can't go wrong with this one. read more
