First time here, we came in around 7:15pm on a Wednesday night and there was no wait. We ordered tacos (lengua, al pastor, and camarón), plus the birria tacos and horchatas to drink.
The staff was friendly and helpful, and they brought our food out as soon as it was ready.
The tacos were true street-taco size and priced around $3.50 to just under $4 each. Each one had its own flavor profile the camarón had the best flavor of the three, with the lengua a close second. The Al Pastor was good, but a little salty for my taste.
The birria tacos were large and packed with meat, and the $17 price tag felt worth it for four tacos. The consommé was super flavorful and even had chunks of meat in it. They also had a good variety of salsas to match different spice levels and preferences.
The restaurant itself was clean, spacious, and had plenty of seating. Overall, we’d definitely recommend this place and will absolutely be back.

Burritos were good sized, lots of meat! A little more cilantro than I like.
Easily fixed, opened the burrito and took it off.
The staff is Super friendly.

Every time I order online I get the same experience. Something always incorrect in my order. In the past I let it be but tonight I decided to take my order back after picking up not even 5 minutes after to see if they could correct it for me but as soon as I arrived and I informed the cashier that one of my orders was incorrect in a kind manner and presented the receipt and the order that was incorrect. I had order 2 shrimp tacos and 1 fish taco plain only but instead of plain they put sour cream. Not a big deal really but I didn’t think it was going to be such a problem if I took them back for them to correct or switch them out. The cashier proceeded to look at my receipt with my order and proceeded to rudely state that they had got the order right and that I brought the wrong one which threw me off because the rest of my order was correct but mine was the only one that was incorrect hence why I came back with mine. I apologized for the confusion and for coming back but assured them that mine was the only one incorrect since I only wanted them plain but the cashier again rudely said that on their system it didn’t say that even though it was on their receipt that came with my order? The cashier looked like she didn’t want to keep going back and forth which I guess prompted her to snatch the box out of my hand and told me that they were going to fix it for me. I thought at that point that the ordeal was over until they gave me the order incorrect again…. This time with only 2 fish tacos when my order was 1 fish and 2 shrimp tacos. At that point I decided to just leave since i didn’t want to deal with the rude staff that clearly instead of fixing my issue they did it their way. So in conclusion instead of paying for 3 overpriced tacos that weren’t made correctly I ended up paying for 2 overpriced tacos that weren’t made still made incorrectly.

Amazing customer service from the young lady at the counter.
We ordered a large menudo, 3 birria tacos, 1 chicken quesadilla, 3 tacos de lengua, 3 tacos de pastor, and 3 shrimp tacos.
This fed a family of 4 for about 80 dollars.
Our first time coming to this restaurant, it did NOT disappoint
The menudo had plenty of tripe, a spoon full with every bite. The birria tacos had plenty of meat, and paired with the consome was a
The chicken quesadilla was so juicy and delicious. The tacos were delicious my absolute favorite is the shrimp
They have a nice selection of some fresh salsa, Pico de gallo, and these amazing grilled jalapeños.
We are definitely going back!!
I want to try the tortas

Breakfast at Tacos El Metate was really good.
Smothered Green Chile Breakfast Burrito was good, a little smaller than I would have liked. The green chile had a great flavor and complemented the burrito well.
Smothered Green Chile Fries were plentiful and came out crispy and smothered with a good amount of green chile. Fries were just the right size, so you got the taste of the fries and green chile. I enjoyed it a lot.
Roasted jalapeños were free and delicious!
There are a lot of salsa options and they are awesome. However, the complaint I have is about the salsa bar which is self serve. The containers were small and people are reaching over other salsa and pouring salsa into small container and it looks like some people get it on their finger and it drips down. I wish they would use ketchup bottle instead because I don’t like the thought of the salsa dripping off other peoples fingers.

Great restaurant! We came to Denver for vacation and a friend recommended this place. We are so glad we went! The food was amazing and clearly made by someone who knows how to cook. We got the barbacoa burrito, barria tacos, and the enchiladas verdes de pollo. Everything was so good but beware the food was spicy and my wife who got the enchiladas struggles to eat her meal because the verde salsa was so hot. But hey they was more for me and although the were spicy it was delicious. We will be back for sure.

Had the usual craving for tacos, and I’ve seen this place and passed it a few times and have been wanting to come here for a while now. The place was amazing and authentic.
One up from street tacos with good value and portions on each taco. I had great service from Yazaira, and the place had a nice humble taco joint atmosphere yet modern. I had the following tacos and ratings accordingly
Tripa ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Al Pastor ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Barbacoa ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Buche ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Lengua ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Carnitas ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Solid tacos totally recommend this place. The 4 stars for my taste just needed a tad more flavor or marinade, but nonetheless amazing tacos.

Place was super busy, which is a good sign. The service was friendly and fast. The tacos and burrito were really delicious! Will definitely be back to enjoy more!

This place is legit. The absolute best Mexican food in the greater Denver area IMO. Can be very busy on the weekends/evenings. My favorite are the fish tacos with creamy green sauce, and the breakfast burritos are killer! I usually hold the green chile sauce and add their creamy green sauce again. This place is my kryptonite, being from South Texas, it brings memories back. The staff is super nice as well. Restaurant is always super clean.

Food was warm and delicious. The service was awesome. I was visiting from south Texas (Brownsville) for a business trip. And I was craving some tacos. And these tacos are authentic. Just missing the cheese and avocado on them but they were yummy. Would recommend
