Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

Authentic, tasty real street tacos on handmade corn tortillas for cheap. Asada, carnitas, Lengua, Pastor- all fantastic. We are always served with a smile and the salsa bar is great.

No star redux, but I gotta say. I got packaged corn tortillas today from el taco veloz. I don't know if somebody got sick and called in or what happened, but I noticed. A slight disappointment but it was still really good. I'm a bigger fan of their salsa bar than anybody else's. Hubby agrees and I don't admit it to him, but his palate es mucho mejor.

This is becoming a problem. I've gone 3 times this week. If you like mexican street tacos, this is the place. Handmade corn tortillas, awesome salsa bar, great al pastor and other meats. I've also had the ceviche de pescado and it was terrific. Probably the best tacos I've had in the US.
(5)Chris V.
Great find. Authentic amazing tacos! The lengua tacos were so good! Highly recommended.
(5)Brandy W.
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!
(5)Tommy T.
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
(4)Brian H.
I have driven up and down federal trying out different Mexican joints and this is my favorite so far. The salsa bar is second to none and the al pastor is excellent especially when fresh from the spit. The food is reasonably priced and will definitely fill you up.

2nd STOP for the Taco Rapture 2011. SUNDAY September 18th 2011. Time : 12:35hrs. YES this establishment is tiny. A MOM and POP kind of establishment. Yet, the service is fast, efficient and friendly. YES, you order at the counter and pay it first. Then they will call your order and one of the staff send it to you. Just make sure you have your "ticket" and remember what you order. My order of Taco Lengua and Taco Tripa. It came out piping hot. Nice HOT! You get the servings of hot sauces, salsas and what nots from the self serving counter at the left side of this establishment. I sat at the right side of this establishment where the high stools is located. All in all, I like the flavor of the tacos I ordered and cant wait to return with Hubs in the future. TACO-LICIOUS!
(4)Tom J.
I love these tacos. I definitely look forward to lunch and figuring out a way to get to this side of town and eat.
(5)Charlie G.
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.
(5)Christopher B.
These tacos were really good! I love the homemade tortillas to begin with. What surprised me was how much better the carnitas were than the asada. I love the large variety of salsas to choose from as well. I'm happy I came across this place and I will definitely go back when I'm craving tacos! And, as the name states (The Speedy Tacos), the service here is really quick!
(4)Tim D.
Best tacos I've had in my lifetime. Best tacos I've had in my lifetime. Best tacos I've had in my lifetime. They said the review was too short the first time around.
(5)Steve S.
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!
(5)Jim M.
Authentic and delicious. The tortillas are made from scratch and the El Pastor tacos are fantastic!
(5)John R.
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.
(3)Willie F.
You can probably tell by the photos this isn't your typical white bread and mayo yuppie taco joint. If your not typically, try and be be adventurous because this place delivers and is worth worth going out of your way for. Get here. Friendly family. Authentic flavors and plenty of the traditional condiments salsas and veggies that usually accompany a true Taco Experience. I always get the El Pastor or Carnitas and sometimes the Tongue. But always get the El Pastor. You won't regret a visit to this awesome place....... Go Tacos!!!
(5)Jason F.
I wanted to like this place more, and maybe I came on an off day, but my friends and I just weren't impressed. They have a nice salsa bar (biggest and freshest I've seen), but overall the food we had was just bland and severely needed salt. Sure it's cheap, but I can get cheap, bland food elsewhere. I may return sometime, but probably after trying other places first.

Worst al pastor I ever had I've been to almost every pastor restaurant in denver not only the worst in Denver worst on this side of the planet also horrible service they got mad at me when I asked why my taco meat had been on the griddle for 10 minutes they replied she's only the cook and she knows more than you the only reason I asked is because in my experience which is clearly more than theirs that your meat should be cooked on a 3pgm auto broiler she informed me that theirs was broken and proceeded to slice a raw piece off show me throw it away and not wash her hands I also had a carnitas taco really really bad and a tripas taco I'd give it a 5 out of 10 so I say go ahead and try this place if you like really dirty and bad tacos
(1)Riles W.
Stick with the Tacos, everything else seems expensive here, for a Taquiera on Federal.
(3)Rachel R.
Better/cheaper/less wait time than pinche tacos. There I said it! There's little old ladies in the back MAKING YOUR TORTILLAS! Nomnom. I tried the al pastor and the carnitas because that seamed to be the most popular. I found that there's a reason they're popular - they're amazing! You can get fresh lime at the salsa bar. What is a street taco without fresh lime?! SALSA BAR!! This stuff is like meth to a junkie. Can I climb up into the thing and just start slurping salsa? No. But I wanted to. I had a delicious meal for less than 7 bucks.
(5)Alicia H.
Amazing food with great salsa bar and homemade tortillas. The carne al pastor is unique and delicious.
(5)A S.
These tacos are wack. I got the carne asada and it is like ground beef, or something. The ceviche was good, but bland. The horchata is really good. I thought this was gonna be my new spot. The search continues.
(3)Christina M.
Since moving to Denver I have found the very authentic tacos and Mexican food sort of hard to find. Of course, I was coming from the Pilsen and Little Village area of Chicago. Great sopes and awesome salsa bar (with radishes and pickled vegetables!). I will be back to try the tacos.
(4)Kate S.
This place man...this fricking place. Life changing. At first I was hesitant to go in as it was 10:30 a.m. so I figured we would be the 2 lone weirdos who wanted Mexican food at 10:30 a.m. But we wanted tacos so off we went! First of all - the guy who was there and helped us? SO awesome and sweet. He chatted with us for a bit. Everything is homemade. From the salsas to the tortillas to the flan. He took a lot of pride in this and I just loved him. My dining companion got a taco plate - a barbacoa, al pastor and asada taco that came with rice and beans. The refried beans were too die for as were each of the meats although I have to say the al pastor was my favorite. I had a carnitas torta and it was awesome. Loaded with the right amount of everything - tons of avocado (and other toppings) and tons of carnitas were the highlight of the sandwich. The torta roll was delicious, a little crispy on the outside, chewy and yummy on the inside. The carnitas were melt in your mouth delicious. The salsa bar is what sold me - the best salsas EVER. They have something for everyone. Now that I'm writing this...I know what I want for dinner....
(5)Nichole W.
Most authentic Mexican food in Denver!! Home made tortillas and horchata. Delicious. Open super late.
(5)Willa C.
So good! This is one of those small 'restaurants' that you don't usually think twice about. In my experience, they are the best kind. El Taco Veloz did not disappoint! I ordered 2 El Pastor tacos and holy guacamole was it good!!! I was here with a friend who had a 3 carne asada tacos and they were just right. I have noticed that many places here in Denver think that cilantro is some sort of mana from heaven and include insane amounts of it on their tacos. Not this time. The food was crazy good and the service was stellar. There isn't a lot of seating and the place isn't that big. It's a little dingy but not dirty or anything like that. I personally was surprised at how efficient the whole ordering process was. Order, get a ticket, wait, and then treat your taste buds. Superb Mexican food. I would definitely stop in here again! Mui bueno!
(5)Jo V.
We ordered the chicken, barbacoa, and asada tacos (4 to an order) and the tacos were overflowing w/meat. Very good and they have a salsa bar for you to make your own salsa. Tho the salsas were good, none were too spicy. We also ordered a pork torta and it was soggy and not too flavorful. We much preferred the tacos and highly recommend ordering them. Very good! The menu didn't include prices. The 3 orders of tacos, an order of rice and beans, and the torta came out to $26.
(4)Michael M.
Wow. I heard good things about Taco Veloz from my friends and I had to try it out. I ordered a smothered carnitas burrito around 1:30 am and boy was it better than I expected! The meat tastes really good--I know it was cooked fresh today. What a great snack for such a late hour. My burrito is tasty and I know it was cooked fresh because it took a few minutes to wait for. In the words of Yelp "Yay! I'm a fan" and I will definitely be back to try other items on the menu. Maybe next time I'll ask for things to be a little more spicy. I love it how sometimes whiteness translantes to blandness. Bring on the heat, baby.

I drove by this spot a bunch of times and didn't think to stop until prompted by my friend Carrie the taco fanatic : ) to try different places, so I bit. It was pretty decent. They have a cute al pastor spit behind the counter (I need one of these) so I ordered and al pastor, a buche, and the owner recommended the asada so I went with that. It's a single small tortilla that's doused with oil so it crisps up and is stronger. The al pastor I think was a little too heavy on the achiote for my tastes, the buche was good but might have been a little bit marginal (restaurant rule #4 - don't order something that is seldom ordered.), the asada was very tasty. Their little salsa bar had a nice variety of salsas and was all pretty fresh looking. Being that this is close to the new job, it'll be a candidate for more frequent visits unless I find better in the 'hood. let's call it a 3 1/2 star.

Taco Rapture 2011 - 2nd stop. I think I liked this place the best. A small place and not a lot of seating. But I think I liked that - it was more cozy and you just stand around talking and eating tacos. It doesn't get much better, unless you add a beer. Tried the El Pastor, carnitas, and asada. The carnitas was the best of the three. I liked the salsa bar. The rice and beans left something to be desired - a little one note and not a lot of flavor. I wouldn't get these again just the tacos. Service was quick and they were on-top of everything. Again we had twenty people who came in and ordered at the same time. Tacos were flying out of the kitchen and they were able to keep up. It was something to behold.
(4)Meredith G.
Stop number 2 on the taco tour and I loved their carinitas tacos. The meet was so tender and flavorful. I think I also had an El Pastor and it was good too. Very small place, but very friendly staff. They were able to track us all down and get everyone's orders right.
(3)Tony E.
Wow. I was in Denver for work over the weekend and sitting in my hotel room, I had made up my mind to find some of Denver's best Mexican food. I'm a Mexican food affecionado. The type of Mexican food I go after is small, one-handed tacos with just the right amount of meat, herbs, and no extra sauces on top. This place nailed it. I ordered 2 carntias tacos and 2 al pastor (pork). So through the roof delicious and not overly stuffed like a majority of mexican places seem to leave people. The price was less than $9 for 4 tacos, beans, rice, and chips. I couldn't eat it all and didn't need to as the tacos were perfect. Tip: Learn some Spanish before going, even if it's just the types of meat/dishes you like (or maybe don't like). The menu is all in Spanish, which isn't too hard if you've had a few years of high school Espanol.
(5)Vicki L.
I've never seen so many fresh salsa options! A great late night find. Friendly staff.
(5)Dale Z.
This was the second stop on the Taco Rapture tour. It was my favorite of the bunch. Seating is limited but the service was uber fast. The salsa/veggie condiment bar was well stocked, fresh, and diverse. My pork carnitas taco was just this side of heaven. It was moist, flavorful, and generous. One tiny criticism is that the horchatta was a tad gritty. But, you could order a small drink, which was nice.
(5)Terry B.
Stop #2 of the Taco Tour. This is a smaller place, looks to be family owned and operated, but everything here was fantastic. Quick service, good prices, and fantastic tacos. There is limited indoor seating, but unless you're with a group of 20 you should be fine. There's a small salsa bar and a good selection of sodas and aguas frescas. We had the carnitas, al pastor, asada and lengua. The lengua, on this particular day was my favorite of the 3 stops. The al pastor was also fabulous. I can't wait to get back here again.
(5)Joseph D.
OUTSTANDING! The salsa they make are insanely good. Get the taco special for $5. Loved it. Wish I spoke spanish but the women in there were super nice. Will be stopping here whenever I am in the area for lunch, dinner, breakfast, brunch. What a gem of a place foodwise.
(5)Edward T.
This place looks sort of like a shack from the outside. Parking is sort of sketchy being across the street from what appears to be a chop shop. However food is great. Store made tortillas which are then griddled. Tried the carnitas and the al pastor both very good. Carnitas were a bit on the greesy side which is just the way I like them. The salsa bar was impressive with 9 different varieties. No gringo salsa here, they pack heat. They also have all the other standards like pico, jalapenos and limes. Interestingly, on the tables were bowls filled with dried chiles. wasn't sure if these were here for decoration or consumption.
(5)Spencer P.
The lengua and el pastor tacos were both good. The el pastor taco and the bounty of flavorful salsas were the highlights of the visit.
