El Taco Veloz

Wanted the Al Pastor tacos to be amazing. Unfortunately, they weren’t. Admittedly, I lived in Mexico for a bit and got used to my tacos al pastor being beautifully and traditionally seasoned, cooked perfectly and always fresh. The two al pastor tacos I ordered (after reading glowing reviews here) were overly greasy, barely warmed and not very visually appealing with a few chopped onions, little cilantro and tasteless CANNED pineapple! Ugh! To add to my disappointment, I didn’t find the bright green salsa I tried even close to hot enough so I tried mixing in others until the taste became muddied and confused. I ate both of my al pastor tacos, but a return visit to this UNAIRCONDITIONED and not very clean joint is highly unlikely. Sorry El Veloz, My quest for delicious al pastor tacos in Denver continues.

I loooooove finding bomb tacos! Especially when it’s on accident.
Had 4 tacos this time around
2 Asada
2 Al pastor
Single handmade tortilla with massive amounts of meat! The asada had a limey taste to it that I am always looking for in my carne asada. But the real winner here is the al pastor. Straight from the spit and in big chunk shavings just like it should be. Great flavor, even when it comes with canned pineapple. The salsa bar was a little dull compared to some of the pictures I’ve seen at this place but it was a Thursday night at 8:30 pm so that could’ve had something to do with it.
All around I loved these tacos and will definitely be a regular.

Their chicken tacos blew my mind. Had great adobo sauce marinade on the shredded chicken and the salsa bar was fantastic. I love radish on my taco and they had it in the salsa bar, many Tex mex restaurant do not carry nor can I order them since they don’t carry (almost after paying twice). Real nice lunch for me and my hubby for less than $ 15. They don’t accept card so don’t forget to carry your cash.

Hands down my favorite taco place in Denver. They keep odd hours but the Abodaba Tacos blew my mind.

Delicious, and very quick! Food was amazing and well cooked– one of the best way in town. Extravagant, loved it

Stop #2 in our Friday Night Taco Crawl of 2016!
Their toppings /​salsa bar was the freshest of all that we tried, with very fresh diced cucumbers, radishes, onions, limes, and of course a variety of salsas. My favorites are the two Salsa Verde options: One with chunks of Avocado and one that is slightly spicy.
Here we sampled only 2 tacos: Al Pastor and Pollo.
This was my favorite Al Pastor, though the pineapple was canned, I have a weird love for canned pineapple and there was SO MUCH of it in the taco! The Pollo was the Tinga type, with a mildly spicy paprika type sauce. Definitely liked that, too! Very, very large portions of the meats on the freshly made tortillas, too! These tortillas were heaven, and we watched them being rolled and pressed by hand as we waited for our tacos. Talk about temptation!
El Taco Veloz definitely wins the BEST TORTILLA Award for Taco Crawl 2016!
Update: I went back for dinner a few days later. Of course I got the Al Pastor but also sampled:
Lengua
Tripa
Carnitas
All THREE exceeded my expectations, and that Salsa Bar… I think this might be my new favorite Taco Joint!
The seating is limited, and make sure you bring cash, because they don’t take credit cards!

This place is the best authentic Mexican food I’ve ever had. The lady working there was super sweet and they have a whole sauce and topping bar for your food. It’s def a whole in the wall, and it doesn’t look like a promising place on the outside, but it is AMAZING. Go here if you want some real authentic food, they know how to make it right!

Super humble place with awesome tacos. The hub and I went on a Sunday afternoon I had 3 carnitas and 3 carne asada tacos, while the hub had pozole and 2 al pastor tacos. The tacos were superb – elevated by a great salsa bar. Try the dried chilies in oil that is off to the side – great flavor. I wasn’t a huge fan of the pozole… it was a white pozole, I prefer red. Otherwise, totally will return!

Seriously good food. Many awesome salsas to choose from, and it’s all at a pretty good price. I had the al pastor burrito and it was amazing. It came with avocados, pineapple lettuce, tomato and a generous helping of green chile. I will be coming here many more times

Good Menudo!

Anything on their menu is delicious. It’s very close to home so I’m always coming here when I’m not in the mood to cook. Even if it wasn’t close to home I would still make the trip because their food is amazing. Their tacos are always loaded with meat and they have many salsa options to choose from. The mango or pineapple water are my favorite to have with any meal there.

It’s freezing cold in here and the TV is blasting Mexican television but the food is awesome. Worth the trip. Go for the torta al pastor. Definitely try the sauces at the salsa bar.

This is really authentic, delicious Mexican food. We got some tacos al pastor, which were really yummy, and a carnitas gordita, which was cooked and seasoned perfectly. The homemade salsas in the salsa bar are terrific. Some of them are very hot, and by hot, I mean HOTTTT, but delish. Enjoy!

Authentic and delicious. The tortillas are made from scratch and the El Pastor tacos are fantastic!

Best tacos I’ve had in my lifetime.

They said the review was too short the first time around.

This place is great! If you want authentic tacos then check this place out. The pastor and carnitas were outstanding. Barbacoa could have been better, but was still a good taco. The salsa bar is a great touch too. Able to try about 5 different types and enjoyed them all. Love it

My friends & I enjoyed our lunch, it was good but not great. We all had a mixture of carne asada & carnita tacos, the carnitas were greasy. The selection of toppings gave you numerous options to spice up & add flavor to your tacos. Overall a decent lunch.

I love these tacos. I definitely look forward to lunch and figuring out a way to get to this side of town and eat.

This taco joint reminded me of the same taco stands I used to go to in Juarez, Mexico. Salsa bar was fresh clean. You can tell the salsa was made daily. Carnitas is were it’s at.

So so good! My boyfriend and I found out about this place and have been going several times a week. We wake up craving their tacos. I am a big fan of the al pastor, asada, and carnitas. My boyfriend likes the asada and pastor the best. The tacos are always so filling, lots of flavor, and my favorite part is that they are homemade authentic corn tortillas. The salsas are amazing, too! There’s at least 2 — 3 flavors that will suit anyone! They had made a mistake and given us a basket of fries… not surprised, they were amazing as well!
oh and the best part is that it’s SUPER cheap! $ 2 tacos!
