I can't believe it took me so long to visit Venalonzo's in Parker! Been eating their food for years at the OG Centennial location, which is always packed. This location is bigger and better! It's so fun, like walking into a party. Vibrant murals, hanging flags, and the outdoor patio is a stunner. It's covered with wind sails to block the sun on these hot days! The best part? They are rocking a full bar here! After a long day, I was in desperate need for a margarita. I told them to surprise me, and though I wouldn't have ordered this one myself, it was so so delicious! You still order at the counter and I noticed some newer menu items. One of them being ribs...at a Mexican joint??? I don't know why they're making ribs, but these are covered in spicy green salsa and holy smokes they are phenomenal. I was genuinely surprised. Tender, juicy, and meaty. What else did I get? Tacos, enchiladas, taquitos, all of them were exceptional. All this food was to go to bring back to my family visiting. It took me an hour to get home in traffic! Luckily, the team packaged everything perfectly, not for any of it to get soggy. We reheated a few things and it was all amazing! We were stuffed to the brim and very happy campers. If I lived within 10 minutes of this place I would be here once a week. Prices are right, food is incredible, and the family who owns the restaurant couldn't be more hospitable. We love you, Venalonzo's!!! read more

The placed looked great. Lots of culture and ready for the world cup. They have indoor and outdoor seating you order food at the counter and it gets delivered to you...in theory. Our cashier was pleasant and we ordered street tacos and a quesabrilla. We waited an hour for our food. I checked at the front and they said it will be out shortly. We waited a few more minutes and they said it will be a few more. We ended up leaving Their food might be delicious and I might have lost out on trying their food, but I was super hungry and didn't want to wait any longer. The cashier apologized. They only had 2 cooks and their order screen was full. I'm not going to give them a 1 star. Their place looked great and other people appeared to enjoy their food. I just didn't wait any longer for that opportunity. I may try them out again. We'll see. read more

Venalonzos Tacos in Parker has many things to rave about. Their second location is much larger than the original with vibrant colors, plenty of seating and a large counter to order at. Their salsa bar has plenty of options. My main request is to label the options as most are spicy (I like some spice but can only handle so much) and it's hard to know what's what. I tried the supreme birria pizza to share with a few colleagues. It comes with a side of their consommé. I ordered an extra side for $3.99 and an extra cup so all three people could dip the pizza as they wished. The pizza is huge at 14" and topped with a ton of pickled onions, guacamole, cilantro, shredded lettuce, sour cream, pico and jalapenos. Inside is the birria meat and chesse. The pizza itself is delicious and messy but in the best way. There is a lot of flavor. The consommé is good not great with no pieces of meat in it. It was a bit greasy. The reason for the four stars is that the employee who gave me my order did not give an extra cup as requested and seemed annoyed when I asked for it. On a previous visit the customer service was excellent. Something that soured my experience. Maybe it will be better next time around. The parking is shared with other businesses. read more

Another good meal here. Love this place because you don't have to wait too long for your food after placing an order at counter. They have a bar which is perpendicular to food counter so you can just order drinks there. Several flavors of margaritas but also have basic spirits too. We again got the queso biria tacos plus an order of 3 mix and match tacos. My favorite of those was carnitas but also pastor was good (just needed pineapple). Considering that it is a kid friendly place and a weekend night at dinner time it was a bit chaotic at times inside but perhaps the patio was calmer. Ha. It really wasn't bad but don't go looking for a quiet place to talk. read more

So good again and again! It was busy but not long waits on food at 12:30 pm. Clean and good is consistently great! read more

I eat here all the time and deliver from here all the time, but this was the first time I ever went to a function at this one and I enjoyed myself so much. It was a surprise birthday business mingle. There was plenty of space for everybody. We were all invited back for other functions, so I can't wait! The service was top-notch. I didn't have to get up from my seat, but one time, and that was just to choose my seat. I'm not sure if that's how it goes for everybody, but I definitely felt special and I will continue to be a happy Customer. Looking forward to my next tacos plate! read more

My family and I have always loved Venalonzo's. We used to frequent the Centennial location and were excited when a location opened closer to us in Parker. Unfortunately, our experience today was very disappointing. After church, we placed a fairly straightforward order: a 4-count quesabirria, a 3-count quesabirria, a quesadilla, fries, a burrito bowl, and another 3-count quesabirria. The cashier seemed impatient from the start, and we were never given a receipt or asked to verify our order. As the food began coming out, items arrived sporadically and out of order. After receiving some of the food, I confirmed that we were still waiting on the 4-count quesabirria and my daughter's quesadilla. About 15 minutes later, an employee informed us that the 4-count had never been added to our ticket. I had to go back inside and reorder my husband's meal, despite it being one of the first items I originally requested. When I spoke with the manager, I expected at least an apology for the oversight. Instead, I was told that I should have verified the order on the screen. However, after multiple orders had been entered behind ours, it was no longer possible to see and verify everything that had been rung up. A simple receipt would have prevented this entire situation. After explaining my frustration and the inconvenience caused by the mistake, a discount was eventually provided, which I appreciated. However, no apology was offered, and I still was not given a receipt. The missing quesabirria order eventually came out, and my daughter's quesadilla only arrived after I had asked about it multiple times. The food itself was good, which is why this experience was so disappointing. Mistakes happen, but accountability, communication, and basic customer service go a long way. I hope management considers implementing a practice of providing receipts for every order and handling customer concerns with a little more empathy and professionalism. read more

A very lively and upbeat taco spot in Parker. They had a full bar and the place was beautifully decorated. We got our food right away. The Al pastor tacos were delicious and the consume for the birria was flavorful. Would definitely come back! read more

SO GOOD! Not sure what to eat? Definitely stop in and try any menu item. You will not be disappointed. Love this taco place! Wish I had more time to explore the menu today. After a Korean spa facial at J Beauty in the nearby shopping center, I stopped in to try the quesabirria taco, but would love to come back to try other menu items like the pizza birria, smothered burritos, Ramen-birria, eggroll - birria, chimichanga, classic taco plate, or the two tacos and a salad ($9.99), assortment of Burritos, wings, pork ribs plate, enchiladas, alambres, asafa fries, and so much more! They also have an assortment of different desserts to choose from. The decor and ambience is energetic, colorful and well lit. Lots of different dining options from outside patio to dining in seating. Highly recommend if you are in Parker, CO to check out this Mexican cuisine and street taco spot. Prices are really affordable for the quality and portions. They also serve Pepsi products and Frescas like mango and more. Ample shopping center parking. The service is quick and very friendly! Also love the salsa options! SO GOOD! Will be back! Loved the quesabirria. Great flavor, lots of birria, crispy cheese bites, and definitely a must try! read more

Wow, I came with my wife and friends and the food was great but the attention was even better. We had the opportunity to meet the daughter's owner and she was amazing as well as Leo, the bartender. They gave us amazing recommendations and share with us some history of the restaurant. We will definitely go back. Gracias Leo! And greetings to Chulo :) read more

This is a fairly new gem! The food and margarita menu is humongous for such a small place nestled in downtown Parker in a shopping center. It is family, friendly, Clean, vibrant, fun atmosphere quick service that you can stop in and pick up or sit down and enjoy at a table. I've only been here twice and wanted to try something new off the menu, but could not stop thinking about their Birria Tacos! They have a little bar and a wonderful bartender named Leo. That's eager to please. You've got to try this place, it will become a weekly favorite. read more

Ordered a bacon breakfast burrito and was very pleased with the order process, the speed of the freshly made burrito and the portion size of it. Took advantage of the large salsa bar and tried a variety of sauces. Friendly staff and clean, well kept establishment. read more

After having a few dinners at Venalonzos I was finally able to get a chance to try their breakfast burritos. As expected, they were outstanding. I ordered online for pickup and it was ready and accurate. They are very large and super good. I went with a bacon and it was very flavorful. I took advantage of the salsa bar and they associate provided me plastic cups with lids. One downside that is NOT their fault and I bring it up for awareness is the parking lot is very cramped and hard to get a parking spot on Saturday nights due to the sports bar two doors down. read more

This place is a great spot for tacos. The food is authentic and has a lot of flavor. I have had the Queso Birria tacos and they are delicious! The beans are really good as well. This is a small spot and seating is limited, so I always take my food to go. Once I get home it is still fresh and delicious. What I really like about this place is they serve truly authentic Mexican cuisine. Even the decor is truly Mexican. Venalonzo's has a great Mexican beer lineup. The service is great and you usually get your food promptly. I highly recommend trying this place out. read more

This is the best place to get tacos in Parker hands down. The tacos and the tortas are absolutely to die for and the margaritas are also great! The servers and the staff are incredibly friendly and the service overall is amazing! You order at the counter and the food is brought to you. We have never had to wait long regardless of when we go. Even on busy nights you can almost always find a table and the service is just as good. They also do brunch/breakfast with burritos and chilaquiles which are amazing! read more

I had heard so much about Venalonzo's tacos in Parker that I needed to make a point of trying it and was left satisfied but felt the food, and device were average. This is a counter service restaurant so you order at the counter but they do bring it out to you. Despite a bunch of people behind the counter it took a while to be helped and I got an exhausted feeling from the woman who took our order, but we all have those days. The food is prepared fresh and takes a few minutes to come out and at the price they are charging I would expect this to be the case. The interior of the restaurant is spacious and clean and they have a little patio off to the side that is comfortable as well. As stated above they charge a premium for their food, and while it is a bit expensive for what it is, it is not egregious. Though I'm not going out of my way to go back. TL:DR - In a town rich with Mexican food restaurants Venalanzo's Tacos does nothing to separate itself from the pack, but has decent food. read more

I love that this place opened up 6 mins from where I live! We've always enjoyed the tacos here. Service was quick but it seemed like the staff was struggling to handle crowd. I really enjoyed their outdoor area at this location. Will be a regular visitor for sure. read more

Chose this place on a whim tonight. My husband and I both ordered the Birria tacos and they were amazing. The couple that owns the place was there and chatted with us for a bit. Great food and even better service! Open layout and didn't feel like you're crammed in there. 10/10 read more

Asada tacos were fantastic. Green chili French fries were delicious. Best birria tacos in south metro Denver.

I'll just say save your money and go someplace else. First of all, really pricey for a casual sit down. Seems pretty dirty, the staff is quite rude - even with each other - and the food is mediocre at best. Again, too expensive for what it is and what you get. Drinks are terrible, my margarita was pretty much ice and water. Went once, won't go again. read more

Food was fantastic. Priced very well. Great flavor and great service. They could've had a little bit of variety. Compared to others. But overall, it was good. read more

Service was awful! I ordered two chicken tacos. They tasted okay. I got some hot peppers, cucumbers and sauces from their condiment bar. The peppers were hot!!!! So I went back inside and ask for another container to get some more cucumbers to cool my mouth! She said No, that is for "my" hot dog specials?????? She was so rude. I will not be back. Too many Mexican restaurants in Parker to deal with her nasty attitude. Btw, no one was behind the counter. You had to wait for service. read more

I really want to like this location...I really really do... so I keep going back. This time I took my order to go. The food was decent, I didn't get the birria this time. I did notice I was getting nickel and dimed though. They charge for salsa if they throw it in the bag for you...however they have a salsa bar and you can get it yourself for free. Also, they charge a "plastic bag fee", this is different than the bag tax king soopers is forced to do. They're basically just charging you for a bag cuz hey, why not? I know the amount they charge isn't significant I guess it's just the idea of being nickel and dimed though. As much as I hate to say this, I probably won't go back to this location till the quality matches Greenwood Village. read more

We had the pleasure of attending the soft opening, and I must say, this restaurant serves the best Mexican food in Parker! It was my first time trying the award-winning Quesabirria, while my wife ordered the asada fries. Both dishes were delicious, and the meat was incredibly tender. They also offered some amazing sauces; we especially loved the green one. The service was fantastic. Lana took great care of us and kept us entertained throughout our visit. I can't wait to return and try more items from the menu. We are very happy customers! read more

Great dinner on the patio at Venalonzo's! We joined on a Saturday around 530pm and were surprised at how busy they already were! Food came out quickly and all enjoyed the quesabirria tacos, as well as barbacoa, asada, and carnitas tacos! Fantastic salsa bar with plenty of options and pleasant service. We'll certainly return! Happy to have them join Parker! read more

Friendly, clean, with a big menu. Tacos are traditional street tacos, with a hearty portion of meat. Hubby tried the carnitas, carne asada and barbacoa. He said they were awesome. He also had a chicken chimichanga, that was filled with chicken, rice and beans. We requested they put the toppings on the side, which they did, neatly in little containers. He said the chimichanga was delicious. I'm a vegetarian, which left me with a few options. I got the nachos, which were piled high with queso, guacamole, tomatoes, sour cream, pickled onions and jalapeños. Yum! What a great addition to Parker!! read more
