    Nice lil hole in the wall spot on federal. Looks like a family owned small business, friendly and good food. Price is fair, most items close to $10 (which seems rare with food price inflation!) Have come back multiple times and tried the tacos, burrito, quesadillas (all good). They've also got tortas, gorditas, breakfast burritos, menudo.

    Thank you Yelpers for guiding an out-of-towner to this excellent hole-in-the-wall! I love a good breakfast burrito and they don't get any better than the $6 burros from Tacos El Herradero. Super friendly people, fast turnaround on the order and piping hot when I got 'em home!

    Tacos 10/10 Mesera 10/10 Ambient 10/10 Excellent and worth the try. Quick service and super attentive. Come here for quality!

    Taco al pastor.  I had three, but the one is all I could take a photo of because they were too good to wait!

    We absolutely loved our experience here. The employees (server and cooks) were all so accommodating and friendly. They helped with anything we needed and recommended tamales when they heard me talking about them. The tacos al pastor were excellent. So juicy, with the right amount of grilled texture, flavorful from the marinade, and the pineapple always gives it that sweet finishing touch! Yes! And their home made salsas were yummy! The decor was a little lacking, but you're in and out very quickly and I would highly recommend ordering food to go after your meal because this place will stick with you and you'll want more!

    Los tacos al pastor con piña están muy deliciosos. El menudo es muy apetitoso y rico. La mesera es muy amable y tiene muy buenos modales. Se los recomiendo!

    I ordered menudo and the menudo had hairs of a mans beard i used to love coming to this place after this experience never going back. Menudo used to be so good something changed it doesn't taste good at all dont recommend this place for menudo

    Saw this place on TikTok with the wrong name and prices, which I discovered once I arrived. They have .99 cent Al pastor tacos on Tuesday!!! I'm from Texas and have been looking for authentic tacos here in Denver and I'm so glad I've found them! I will most definitely be back. It's be great if they had pickled onion/cabbage too

Looking at taco places, I went with something close by to our location and found this hidden gem. Nestled away on a small street corner of Clay Street and 32nd Ave. parking can be scarce, but I'm sure with the right time and a little bit of walking you will find and manage your way here. Outside the restaurant, they have a small seating area which now is winter too cold to enjoy, but I'm sure in the spring and summer and fall time is super enjoyable. The inside, though a little bit tiny and no cozier than going to your mom's house and expecting a family Filled living room/Kitchen. We went down and greeted by three smiling faces. We already looked at the photos online and knew we want tacos so opted with the chicken tacos and Carne Asada taco plates. The tacos place option came with 5 tacos with up to 2 choices of meats the ratio would be 2:3 .. freshly mashed guacamole made in front of you or freshly sliced avocado.. In the pictures I listed you will find each chicken and Carne Asada options. Both slow pictures missing two tacos because we devoured them as soon as we got into the truck. Their street tacos are heavenly! Chicken option was all chicken breast super juicy grilled to perfection five tacos on a plate another two tacos missing because my husband and I devoured it. This plate came we asked it with the guacamole option instead of fresh avocado. The carne asada was just FULL of flavor and the fresh avocado slices with green tomatillo salsa SLAPPED.. the tortillas are super soft and tears from how fresh the flour tortillas were!! Definitely a place to sit and eat there to enjoy the hot food. I'm originally from SoCal and a heavily populated Latinos with amazing tacos and food.. Taqueria La Familia passed the bar high!! We can't wait to come back and try other options and will update pictures and review then!

Service was excellent, and the food was lowkey incredible. We shared the small elote dip (elote is always a hit) + ribeye + marisco molcajete, and downed almost the entire basket of chips + salsa (husband even needed some of that green sauce to go and they delivered). We ended up also ordering churros to go (easily reheated in the microwave, who knew) and this was like, the first time I've ever *truly* raved about churros (I think because this time they were really dense, which I loved). We alsooo didn't realize that Sunday was all-day happy hour, so some cheap (and very strong) margs didn't hurt either. Will absolutely be back!

Service is top notch and our Friday night here was met with explanations of menu items, drink recommendations and even food recommendations. Our waitress kept an eye on our table even when the happy hour and evening crew started filling the place. My ground beef enchiladas were really good but the leftovers really shined! The flavors set in nicely and reminded me of the wonderful time the previous night. I would certainly return!

The food was delicious! We got $2 chips and salsa off the happy hour menu and the queso con soyrizo (not on HH menu) which was served with warm tortillas. Honestly we probably didn't need all that because the tacos were so good I could've just filled up on more of the tacos, but still was a great meal! I ordered the lengua, pastor, and taco special (breaded shrimp). They were all so good. Think taco quality of a good street taco spot but with the ambiance of a cute tex mex bar.

Then you are driving the neighborhood hoping to find a spot. Finally parked and walked to the restaurant. Host told me it would be 30 minutes but the actual wait was 50 minutes. Spend so much time parking and then waiting, at what point do you give up and leave empty handed? Restaurant is VERY LOUD. Finally got a table and ordered OFF MENU. Server agreed to substitute shrimp for my enchiladas and they were good! Fresh corn tortillas were the highlight. Ordered tres leches cake and enjoyed it too. Was a nice meal but just not worth all the hassle.

We walked in to find it pretty well occupied around noon, but still with some empty tables. We were seated right away. The decor was lovely. It was primarily natural, earthy tones, with succulents, and a big pop of color with bright murals above the bar, creating a warm glow. I was vaguely familiar with Chef Richard Sandoval due to his brief appearance on Top Chef, but didn't know too much about his cuisine. The brunch has a really fun and original idea in that you can order bottomless small plates for $42 per person or bottomless food and drinks for $59 in person, with a two-hour limit. I would have loved to try that, but we had a lot of plans that day so opted for the à la carte menu. I chose a mimosa and my friend chose a michelada. for our drinks We shared the ceviche. I ordered the chicken tinga enchiladas, while my friend ordered the fish tacos. We shared all of the food. The ceviche was excellent, flavorful and fresh. I enjoyed the enchiladas. The portion was generous. I wasn't too fond of the tacos. There was nothing wrong with them, aside from the fact that I don't like breaded fish, but they just didn't have a ton of flavor. I will say service started strong, but then fell off a bit. Our server and food runner were friendly, but it was hard to get extra utensils when we needed them. All in all, it was a great brunch spot. If I were in town again, I would definitely be tempted to try the bottomless brunch.
