    Cool spot inside - graffiti and big chandeliers The tacos are cheap $2.50/each but of course they are small! I had the pollo and he had buche (pork stomach) and al pastor - he liked it. Had a fun fresh salsa bar but I accidentally had some red onion and habanero and it blew me up- my fault though

    al pastor, pollo, carnitas, barbacoa tacos. everything was DELICIOUS!

    quaint little spot that was a good stop in! seems like a local staple in Denver, would definitely come back. the salsa bar seems to be the hit!

    Pork with pineapple, pork, barbacoa.

    Authentic tacos at a great price! I came here on a Sunday at lunch time and we walked right up to the counter and were immediately served! The restaurant was casual, not super crowded, and plenty of open seats. I got the pork with pineapple, pork, and barbacoa. The barbacoa was definitely my favorite, although all of them were good! The tacos are $2.50 each and three of them filled me up. However some people might need four to fill you up, as they are small. The tortilla as double stacked so they don't break. They have a fresh salsa bar, but beware as the pickled onions are very spicy! Can't wait to come back and try a burrito!

    Tacos for breakfast after a late night out. Yes, please! Tacos Selene does tacos right--simple, flavorful, and cheap! I've been to the OG location on 6th & Chambers, but this was my first time at the one on Santa Fe. Different vibe but same excellent quality food and service. They open at 8:00 am (except on the first Saturday of the month, at 10:00 am). Colorful murals and neon signs adorn the pink and green walls with starburst lighting. There was a line of people waiting to get in and order. My trio of tacos was great. Carne asada is still my favorite, and I love all the options at the salsa bar. It's nice they have the salsas labeled at this location because the pickled onions with habanero were muy picante!

    This place was such a pleasant surprise! On our trip we stopped by Tacos Selene since it was located super close to our Airbnb and everything here was super solid! I loved the chicarrones tacos and the steak tacos. The horchatas were delicious as well! My favorite thing was the sauce bar, they've got so many delicious sauces that you can grab yourself as well as all the necessities for the tacos.

    Barbacoa sope

    The hubs and I wanted to give this a try for a little while so put it at the top of the list the next time we were in the area. I went with the barbacoa sope and got two. They were decent sized but not too big. The shell was a little crispier than I've had and I prefer a slightly softer sope. But the meat was seasoned really well and the salsa bar had some awesome salsas. My husband got street tacos / barbacoa, asada and carnitas. They again were the perfect size and fit the ticket. Service was fast and friendly. The other patrons were construction workers which is a really good sign of the food.

    Tacos Selene delivers high quality food at a reasonable price, in fast order and in convenient locations. This Tacos Selene is similar to the others, just roomer. The Tacos are absolutely the BOMB! The salsa bar -- a perfect accompaniment to any meal you choose. No frills, no fuss, just good food. Friendly people.

    I was very excited to try Tacos Selene as I have seen it in several lists for best tacos in Denver and has been recommended many times. I think it just got over hyped... I am always okay with Americanized Mexican food but if you are claiming to be a full on Mexican restaurant, then the expectation is very high. Anyways, Service: It's counter service and everyone that helped me pun was very nice. Ambiance: Very low key. There's a salsa bar which is well stocked and has delicious salsas. Specifically, the green one. Other than that, it is a very casual restaurant. The focus here is obviously on the food. Food: Honestly, meh. Maybe it's on me as I didn't try the tacos and got some sopes instead. I tried the pastor, carne asada, and pulled pork. They were all okay - nothing amazing and with so many new options out there, I feel like there's better places. I will give it another try to actually try the tacos and we will see.

    I've been looking for a good, inexpensive street taco place for so long and am SO happy that I have found one. This place is clean and with an incredible salsa bar (to include pickled carrots/jalapenos/onions AND pickled habanero red onions)! Their street tacos currently run at $2 each. I had the barbacoa and al pastor, which were both incredible! Just a heads up that this location is limited to street parking!

    Loved their Breakfast Burritos! This is the closest I can get to San Diego breakfast burritos here in Denver. Definitely plan to return. The staff were friendly, and the service was quick! What I ordered: Breakfast Burrito - Bacon, Egg, Cheese, & Potato

I grabbed a seat at the bar where the bartender was friendly and engaging. On a recent Wednesday at 7:15, the restaurant was packed. When I left around 8:30, it was still busy. That's usually the best review a restaurant can get. Loyal customers don't keep coming back out of habit. They come back because it feels like home. The all-day happy hour margarita for $9 certainly doesn't hurt. The second one arrives before you've had time to argue yourself out of it. I ordered the enchiladas with carne asada and their house mole. If you're expecting one of those intensely complex moles with enough ingredients to fill a pantry, this isn't that. Adelitas' version is comforting, approachable, and deeply homey. It tastes less like a culinary experiment and more like something your abuela has been making for decades. The carne asada was tender, the rice and beans were exactly what they should be, and every bite reminded me why comfort food never goes out of style. Before leaving, I made the smartest decision of the evening. Tres leches to go. I devoured it later at home while Netflix asked if I was still watching. The cake somehow manages to be light while completely satisfying. Don't skip it. Better yet, don't pretend you're saving it for tomorrow. Adelitas isn't trying to impress you. It's trying to feed you well, welcome you warmly, and send you home happier than when you arrived. Whether your abuela was Mexican...or Greek...you'll understand exactly what they're serving here.

We ordered the chips and salsa trio to start, quesabirria, chicken and steak fajitas with corn equites and rice/beans as a side, and lastly the carnitas. Personally I got the carnitas and was shocked at the portion! The presentation was beautiful and overall it was quite tasty. The hard part with this meal was that the black bean puree was underneath all the meat and au jus so it was a bit challenging to scoop up and put in the tacos. Everyone enjoyed their meals and we were pretty stuffed that we couldn't make it to dessert.
