So good, not sure why all the 3-4 star reviews but this place is very good, really had that authentic market feel. Very kind staff, good vibes, music, atmosphere. Had the quesabirria tacos, the tacos were stuffed and the juice was a generous portion. Fresh onion and cilantro. read more

I have always enjoyed this restaurant as the food is consistently good. I had not been in for several years and I really like the completely remodeled service counter and dining area. It used to be kind of cramped and the seating was odd. Now it's open, bright, airy, clean and well organized. They have several televisions on each wall that would be great to watch the game on. The service was fabulous but I do find the prices to be high and the neighborhood it's located leaves a lot to be desired. I would avoid the area after dark for sure. read more

I had very little time today, it was a busy doctoral research day. I had forgotten about lunch. I was returning from the local library and spotted this place. The dude at the cash register hooked me up, with a steak smothered burrito. And the lady that was cleaning was friendly and brought me green hot sauce. It was a solid display of good customer service by the front of the house crew! read more

Tacos Junior - Tacos Al Pastor - Mexican Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Great parking lot and several ways of entering. Huge, airy, clean dining area. I had the asada burrito, smothered, and was impressed with the quantity and the quality. My friend had a selection of the street tacos, which looked delicious. The only reason I can't give it 5 stars is that the TVs blasting music made it hard to have a conversation. I'd definitely go back and I'd just take my order to go if it was that loud again. read more

This place has delicious tacos! Definitley my favorite al pastor in denver! Their homemade salsas are delicious (the green is my fave). I also love the quesadillas with either asada meat or al pastor. It is a clean place and the food is made fresh and pretty quickly. read more

terrible service the lady on the register kept starring us down we just got off work and came out like we just fought a bear, never bothered to greet us or asked if we wanted anything at all. we left and spent the 50 bucks elsewhere we will never entered one of these again. She was good with the makeu though had about 2 pounds on. read more

This is a sorry excuse for tacos, I consider myself a taco connoisseur and I got to say this tacos are disgusting 1/10 rating. It was like the meat didn't have no flavor it tasted old. Plus tortilla tasted off for some reason. Please don't come here if you're looking for tacos. If taco junior was the only place open to eat I would rather starve then eat here read more

Great food and friendly staff. Authentic flavors from the pastor and the carne asada. Burritos are big. Plenty of seating, lots of TVs playing MLB. read more

They are the best tacos we've ever had. When we still lived in Denver we always went to their original location on Sheridan. We live out of state now but every time we go to Denver Taco Jr is on the top of our list no matter what!!! This time, we were in Denver last week and of course Taco Jr was on our list. This time we tried out the one in Westminster. Awesome and I'm so happy they now have 2 more locations. We introduced Taco Jr to my sis in law last week and nephew and they LOVED it!!!!! read more

These 12" tacos" were put together by me after Tacos Junior put a couple tortillas and random pieces of chicken, cucumber and lime?? It was horrific, I ordered TWELVE tacos and received 3. Will NOT be back. Horrible service and food. I am beyond disappointed. read more

Tacos Junior - Bad tacos. - Mexican Near Me - Denver, Colorado

I used to come here all the time. My order usually consists of the asada tacos & horchata. Yesterday was my first time going after a while and the asada is not as good as it used to be but the Horchata still taste very delicious. read more

Delicious Al Pastor tacos and Carne Asada tacos. The Carnitas was a little dry, but still good. Prices are fair. Not sure what most of the people are complaining about in the other reviews. This is a no frills food truck serving up Mexican eats late at night. Can't beat that with how early restaurants seem to close around Denver even on the weekends. If you are in the area and hungry, it'll get the job done. I spent around $12 for 3 tacos with a giant agua fresca. read more

Very tasty, smaller-sized tacos perfect for a late night craving. Typical taqueria menu items.

This place is BOMB! My boyfriend works across the street and we eat here allll the time on his lunch or after he gets off. The service is fantastic (english friendly) they have plenty of options and the food is absolutely delicious mucho gracias por todos la comida es increíble read more

I got their 4 tacos with carnitas. Tender pork, homemade corn tortillas, homemade salsa, onions and cilantro. Perfectly clean, great customer service. Exactly what you expect out of a traditional Mexican joint. Highly recommend! read more

We were looking for something other than fast food while in the area. And the Smothered Carnitas Burrito and Carne Asada were wonderful!! The service was fast and friendly!! read more

Tacos Junior - Mexican Near Me - Denver, Colorado

If I could give this place a 0 I would the food is super bland looks appetizing but once you take a bite it's just disappointing. I was expecting a burst of flavors since that's usually what you get when you try Mexican Authentic food but it was bad I ordered Tacos and my husband ordered a coctel de camarón his coctel had only 6 to 8 shrimp counted and the rest was just the vegetables that it has. We also had some aguas which where piña and Jamaica ones and the same thing, bland with little to no flavor. Not to mention the restaurant is in a really sketchy area so I recommend not leaving your car unlocked unless you want someone to go through it. Not only that but the place is extremely overpriced. read more

It's so delicious tried it myself definite must go for Mexican in Denver I'd recommend this if your in Denver Burritos were good solid portion and the flavor is outstanding lasted 2 days loved every bite. The owner is a very nice lady and customer service was on the spot and fast awesome place must recommend. read more

FINAL STOP aka The 4th Stop of Taco Rapture 2011. Sunday September 18th 2011. YES, this is indeed a MARATHON for TACO-GOODNESS. So, the rest of us, as the SURVIVORS for Taco Rapture 2011 came here. Time : 1410hrs Plenty of parking and seating area inside. This establishment seems empty. Is this a good sign or a bad sign? Perhaps it just the timing factor when I was there with the group. You order at the counter on the left wing of this establishment. They will call out your order. You can get your order at the right wing of this establishment. Since I am slightly stuffed from all the Tacos I had, I still opt for 2 Tacos, one, Taco Lengua ($1.65) and another Taco Tripas ($1.75). The service was prompt, efficent and fast since I got my Taco order less in 10 minutes after ordering. Yes the Tacos came out piping hot. I like the flavor but I dont like the sauce that they offer with it. Big Bummer. But I dont think I can give a fair judgement aka review coz I am already stuffed so I really really need to go back to this Taco Junior to give another chance and I hope my review might differ. Furthermore, they have some other dishes that I would like to try with Hubs. Not forgetting, the display of pastries, cakes galore that I SO wish I have that "extra" space in my stomach to devour them... read more

Overpriced and unable to handle large orders professionally. I ordered tacos al pastor, they gave me meat and tortillas. I believe they were upset that we had a big order even tho we spent a lot. I usually go here and al pastor tacos come with pineapple, onions and cilantro but not anymore. This time its just meat and tortillas. read more

Amazing this place is so cheap I can't believe it. Super authentic and they don't skimp at all. Tacos are very filling. Pastor is their speciality with the pineapple it's so good. Just moved here less than a month ago this is my favorite Mexican spot for sure read more

I drive around for work several days a week. I am a huge fan of mom and pop taco shops. My favorite lunch on the fly is 2 a la cart tacos. I had the al pastor, to go. It came with two delicious kinds of salsa. It was also served with a couple nice slices of pineapple, and some radish slices. A 4$ lunch that makes me feel great, and is flavor country. I would love to eat your tacos, and other vittles again soon. read more

Tacos Junior is the damn titties! Big as horchata, cheap tacos, authentic al pastor and at reasonable prices. My favorite item in the paradilla jr. A small grill brought to the table and piled high with all types of meats and veggies. It includes a baked potatoe, guacamole, toppings, and queso for each person. There was so much I have a lunch for several days now. read more

Tacos Junior - Shrimp Alambre! Very good! - Mexican Near Me - Denver, Colorado

I drove by Tacos Junior, both to and from work, for years. I kept taking note of it, but just never made it in. Until this summer. And holy crap. It's like I live there now. And, to their credit, the ever-obliging staff NEVER look sideways at me like "Oh great, here comes the Gringa again." I've sampled bunches of their Tacos, with the Brisket, Al Pastor, Pollo, Tinga, Carnitas, and Chiccharones being favorites. They have this thing, that this Gringa was previously unfamiliar with: A Sope. It's a disk of Masa, pan, fried and topped with refried beans, meat of your choice, onions, tomatoes, salsa, queso and wait for it... CACTUS. It blew my mind. The place is clean... SPARKLING clean. The first thing you smell is the Fabuloso. Then you wander toward the counter, past the in-house made desserts, and you smell the amazing Al Pastor Port roasting on their open spit, waiting for the traditional garnish of pineapple to melt in your mouth. And don't pass by those desserts... Because they have CHOCOFLAN. Yep. Chocolate Cake topped with a layer of Custardy Flan. I'm hooked. I've been told to try the Flautas. And the Empanadas look amazing. So do their seafood creations. Maybe we'll run into each other! read more

Tacos Junior - Tacos al Pastor - Mexican Near Me - Denver, Colorado

This was stop number four on the taco rapture tour. I have had tacos from here before, but it has been a couple years. This was my second favorite taco place of the day. The el pastor "burrito" was worth the extra buck and a half. It was huge, and filled with meaty, pineappley, oniony goodness. It was so juicy that it was a threat to clean shirts everywhere. Tacos Junior offers an extensive dessert selection, which is a big plus. I also tried the elote (corn on a stick with toppings) and it was just okay. It is hard to get this to taste right in the U.S. It really needs to be made with non-sweet corn, and that is hard to find. The Tacos Junior version was also a bit mayo heavy. read more

These are the handsdown best tacos in the state of Colorado grew up eating them and love them little pricey but way worth it it's a genuine taste of Mexico. read more

Favorite place for tacos in Denver. Not technically Denver but the steak there is really good and they cook it right there. No where to sit because of coivid so grab n go currently read more

In town from Houston TX and had bad luck finding good authentic Mexican food. We tried 3 different restaurants until someone suggested eating here. Stopped in and ordered tostadas, gordita's, and tacos It was absolutely delicious! Meat flavored very well and the tostadas was hot and crispy. I definitely recommend eating here for true authentic Mexican food. read more

$25 for 4 tacos and a sope? WTF??? Way overpriced!!!! I thought it was going to be beyond bomb so I paid. GOT home and was like NEVER AGAIN. What can you do but move on and never give them business again. I do not recommend this spot. It's just way too expensive for the taste when there's 1,000 taco spots in the area. Salsas are not flavorful or spicy. Kinda mad about my $25 read more

Got there at 9:30pm they literally locked the doors in our face! They could of just said it there was only to go orders but oh well

My boyfriend and I have decided that if you're trying to figure out whether a taco place is good or not you simply have to look out front for a guy selling CDs. As you can see from the photo, Tacos Junior has a rather large selection of music for sale. As just like our hypothesis, it was delicious. This place is sort of arranged like a fast food joint. You walk in and order from a girl at the register. Then you seat yourself and that's when the similarities stop because you will be eating the most tender, delicious meat ever. I also love their dessert area and the fact that they have booths that can seat like 16 people. So bring all your friends. And bring them as late as 2 am if you want because Tacos Junior will be open and waiting to satiate your Mexican food craving. read more

Wow. I think this Tacos Junior location has the biggest spit of al pastor in Denver. That thing is a monster. You could probably make 500 al pastor tacos from that thing...maybe more. This spot is in the running for best al pastor in town. Simply delicious! Also of note is the wonderful selection of fresh aguas, jugo and other bebidas to choose from. Apparently, they only have one size...32 ounces. Probably a little too big for me. read more

Okay, by far this is my favorite taco joint. After two taco tours I still feel that this place is the best. We decided to be brave and give one of their burritos a try. Like everything else, it isn't about quantity, but quality. It was a little on the smaller side, but we couldn't commit entirely and had some tacos to go with. Anywho our semi-bravery was rewarded and it was really good. The beans have a nice flavor, and you can never go wrong with carnitas at this place. I also neglected to mention the desserts. The Arroz Con Leche is the best I've had at a restaurant and about $3 to boot. The multi-colored jello, is all right but it doesn't have a ton of flavor or sugar. My mom's fav is the Tres Leche Cake. It's a tad on the sweet side for me, but still good. The cake is pretty airy, the frosting even lighter, and the bottom is soaked in sweetened condensed milk. read more
