Tacos DF

Came in here for some tacos and I got each type of meat so basically I got nine tacos. I didn’t know which taco I was eating but I’m pretty sure it was the chorizo and I didn’t like it otherwise my other 8 tacos were great! I would come back here!

It’s a nice little place to come and eat. The tacos are great I had the Asada ones (grilled steak) and a chicken quesadilla which I also recommend. There is a mini salsa bar as well!

Odd triangular lot and parcel at major roads. Parking lot is busy and has traffic going in many directions and is a cluster. Shoppette has hole-​in-​the-​wall shops — there’s an interesting legal services shop with large portraits of the attorneys. Inside Tacos DF is okay with TVs, a large photo mural of the original food truck, and Mexican flags and décor. Service wasn’t too friendly or helpful, until the woman who seems to be the owner came up front. Food took about 5 or 10 minutes. Tacos were nothing special, had only a single tortilla, and lettuce cost extra. The sope was tough and rubbery around the edge and mushy in the center. All served in a small plastic basket. It was kind of gross, and overpriced. The mango drink was pretty tasty. Have had much tastier and generous tacos, etc. elsewhere, with more bang-​for-​the-​buck.

Maybe this place is decent if you don’t deviate at all from the menu. I’ve actually had better Mexican food in rural Midwestern towns. I ordered bean tacos and got steak and my boyfriend ordered no lettuce and, you guessed it, got lettuce. This was a carryout order so my level of irritation is higher since now I don’t get to eat lunch. Not at all what I expected.

Really great tacos here! I ordered an assortment of tacos and enjoyed them all except for the lamb which I didn’t care for (and I usually love lamb).

Legit Mexican food! I’m from the 505 so in disappointed more often then not with the chile here in the 303. Not today! The asada tacos are Delilah!

One of the better hole in the wall places I have found in Denver for Mexican food, and it’s tiny too, seats maybe 20 people or so.
The staff seem friendly, I’m sure they would have been a little more friendly had there not been a language barrier.
The food was good though, I got 3 tacos; beef, pork, and chorizo and my wife got the 3 taquito platter. The tacos were very good, and loaded with meat. The taquitos were also good, I had a few bites and my wife said it was one of the better ones she’s had.
Overall a pretty good place, small menu but you don’t need much more at a Mexican restaurant.

The bad reviews for this place are so gringo, Kenny G should be played in the background. The place is mellow, clean, offers a good selection of meats, and most importantly makes awesome, awesome food. What else you need to know?

There are few times in life that a golden gem goes hidden right beneath your nose — this is one of them!
I have driven past this hideaway almost daily for ten years… and now that I’ve found it I feel like I’ve missed out on part of what life is; STREET TACOS!!!
When you walk in your greeted by loud Mexican music from the kitchen and Univision television on the tv– fantastic signs of a great Street taco joint! You will not be disappointed– granted this place is a dirty spoon — it’s very delicious
Now I had one Asada taco and one barbacoa taco and my total was less than 5 $!!!
Delicious !
Tacos df you have a new fan!

Best Taco places I’ve been too. If you guys like tacos or Mexican food in general, go to Tacos DF.

Just walked into Tacos DF for lunch and waited for 2 – 3 minutes at the counter while the lady working at the counter filled her cooler with drinks. Then as I started to order, a Mexican gentleman walked in front of me and almost pushed my girlfriend out of the way. He proceeded to order something, and the lady took his order instead of mine. I walked out before I could even try the food here. I felt like because I wasn’t Mexican, I was cut and served second. This was very disappointing and disheartening. I wouldn’t eat their food if they treat their customers this way.

So far, the best we’ve found! My wife & I are fairly new in town and stopped in to try a taco. They were excellent and we’re back the next day to try more. My wife had more tacos & I had a quesadilla. This is authentic stuff! None of that fast food junk. We will be regulars!

Heaven bliss are two words that come to mind when describing this place. I love you Unilocal.
Wanted tacos. Somehow been craving since earlier today. I suggested this place whereas my husband suggested Rusty’s Tacos. Glad I won out. Small place but cozy. I ordered the taco platter with cow head, only because I felt adventurous and others have suggested to try. My husband also got the platter but with steak. I fell in love with the cow head. So after we finished our platters, I had no choice but to order 5 more single tacos. This time I tried the cow tongue, 2 cow heads, and 2 steak. Yummm! Highly highly recommend.

DTF $ 2 Barbacoa (lamb) tacos and Cabeza (cow head) was tender with good portion. Al Pastor was crunchy and fresh but did not come with the usual pineapples. The lettuce and cheese is a $.25 extra charge which I don’t really care for anyways.
The price is a bit more than other small taco joints but the service was fast with plenty of seating. Next I will try me some home made chichaaron Gordita.
Menu is pretty extensive with posole, menudo, Pambazos, Tortas, and Tamales. The salsa bar was lacking but the tacos were definitely street worthy.

Great Tacos… best in the area I think. I adore street tacos and this place delivers (great tacos). The salsa bar is a nice addition to the place as I love to doctor my tacos and try all the flavors! The choices were abundant and tasty. The gal at the counter was a little annoyed to be working that day but she couldn’t spoil a great lunch! Worth a shot when you are not close to Federal’s abundant taco shops!

I ordered the carne asada burrito smothered along with a sope. My bf had their tacos with the burrito. He thought it was a good solid place. But he’s from Illinois. He doesn’t quite understand my cravings of something familiar to home and that would be SoCal Mexican food. The place was okay. Their salsas were GREAT! Horchata was delicious. It just didn’t hit home for me so my search for amazing 5 star Mexican food continues.

Probably some of the best tacos in town. The meats are very flavorful and the salsa bar had a lot of choices. I would love to see them take more initiative to keep the salsa bar looking clean and fresh but I can say that about any taco bar in town too.

Yes you ordered at the Counter, pay at the counter and then the staffs will call your order etc etc.
From the Menu featured above the Counter Wall, we ordered the following items :
* Asada Smothered Burrito ($ 7.00)
* Cabesa Taco ($ 1.75)
* Barbacoa Taco (Lamb) ($ 2.00)
* 2 Tacos Asada @ $ 1.75 each hence it was ($ 3.50)
* 4 Extra Lechuga Queso @ $ 0.25 each hence it was ($ 1.00)
* Mexican LARGE Bottled Coke Cola ($ 2.50)
Yes, they have a SALSA Bar, but the Salsa they offer was somewhat lacking and limited.
3 STARS AT BEST.
Burrito Smothered, ONLY comes with RICE & Cheese in it. Hubs like it but a little sad coz there is NO BEANS in the Burrito. *Hubs Sad Face* Just OK establishment to have Tacos and Burrito. Nothing stellar, nothing special to write about.
This recent visit was on Saturday April 12^th 2014. Time was about 19:50hrs ish. I already had Dinner somewhere else, but Hubs has NOT. Since Tacos DF is the nearest to where my last appointment were, to this Tacos DF we went. The server that evening who handled the transaction, and behind the counter at Tacos DF is Maritza. The Dinner with tax was $ 18.52.

Holy fucking tacos!
If you can’t tell, I’m not Mexican. Nor am I a food authority. What I wanted: cheap-​ass, good tacos. What my brother suggested: here.
I was happy with them. Chorizo. Al pastor (ordered with lettuce and cheese). Barbacoa. All three were exactly what I wanted for lunch. It doesn’t try to make itself out to be something else, and it was only recommended for tacos.
We hit it at about noon, got served quickly, and quickly watched the lunch line grow (and a lot of togo orders get picked up…).

«THIS HOLE-​IN-​THE-​WALL WAS RATED BEST IN DENVER IN 2008»
Food:
What I order as my «usual» when first walking into an unfamiliar Mexican joint to keep things basic is a Chicken Burrito. Their burrito came to me as a humongous sized meal that was nicely put together with all the fixings. The good thing about the food here is that the tortillas are homemade and the meat is marinated beforehand. I’d say the burrito was tasty and that the chicken was cut into small cubes instead of being shredded (the waitress also made sure to «filler up»!) It was smothered with a green chili sauce and the top of the burrito was decorated with cheese and drawn in a squiggly line (upon opening my box first thing I thought was, «Wow…Kyut!» :) I did like the fact that there was a little bar where you could help yourself to the different salsas, limes, and jalapenos to compliment your meal.
*The one thing I did not like was biting into the end of the burrito and only tasting rice which means the chicken was not spread out the way it should have been (not to be so «anal» about it but, EVERY bite should be an experience if you ask me!).
Service:
The woman who served me was very hospitable and provided good service. I did start to kind of «wonder» about the food after she continued to say A NUMBER of times, «It’s really good… the food here is really good!!!» (and I’m thinking… well, of COURSE you are going to say the food is «really good» since you work here but, let ME be the judge of that! :-) Other than that, she was helpful and explained to me a little bit about the history of the restaurant and how it had been around for seven years to date.
Atmosphere:
I am somewhat of a «clean freak» and not to say that this place was DIRTY but, it could’ve have used a little bit more cleaning in the back (I noticed food all over different areas of the floor, in the kitchen, and also the appliances could have been wiped down some). In the front of the cashier area, I noticed also that the white walls had black smudges all of over them. I was a little put off yet still wanting to give this place a chance as I a took a bite of my very first plate there. There were a few interesting looking paintings surrounding the restaurant which gives customers something to look at while waiting for their food.
Price:
I paid $ 6 for a Chicken Burrito yet, I know I’ve paid LESS at other hole-​in-​the-​wall places (around $ 3 to give a rough estimate). Tamales range about $ 1.50 each whereas I do know of places that charge about a buck.
Parking:
Parking is free and is located right in front of the restaurant within the shopping complex.
MY THOUGHTS?
I would still give my hats off to this place for its humble beginnings and how the owner started off as a food truck (quite impressive!). You can read more about the history of this place in a news article posted in front of the restaurant. Other than that… I can’t say I wouldn’t come BACK yet, because I am somewhat on a Mexican foodie mission, this place would not be a repeat anytime soon.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Try the Chicken Burrito I guess?
