“ Amazing tacos joint. The gentleman who helped us was very sweet! Highly highly suggest giving this a try. Their quesadillas were 10/10 ”
“ Seriously, the best tacos in the country, not just in Denver. My boyfriend, who is from Chihuahua and travels for work, says they are the best he's had in the States. I know they are the best tacos I've ever eaten. Plus the service is fast and friendly, the price is unbeatable, and they are always on point. ”
“ If you're looking for a truly outstanding taco experience, Tacos Los Viejones is a must-try spot. I had the chance to try their pastor taco, asada taco, and pastor quesadilla, and let me tell you, it was an unforgettable meal. The tacos were delicious – the pastor taco had the perfect balance of tender, flavorful meat with a nice bit of char, and the asada taco was equally satisfying with juicy, well-seasoned beef. Both were packed with flavor, and the toppings were fresh and complementary. The pastor quesadilla at Tacos Los Viejones is an absolute masterpiece. The crispy, golden tortilla has tender, perfectly seasoned pastor meat, and the fresh onions and cilantro add a bright crunch that contrasts beautifully with the richness of the cheese and meat. The red salsa is the finishing touch, offering a smoky depth and just the right level of heat that enhances the flavors without overpowering them. Together, the different fillings elevate the quesadilla to a whole new level, making it hands down the best quesadilla I’ve ever had. ”
“ We just moved to this neighborhood and were looking for a new truck. We smell this truck all the time. Today we decided to stop. It didn't disappoint!! Food was really good! That little onion foil pack is grilled onions and jalapeno with some juice that was so freaking good!! The atmosphere is cool too. Everyone gets their food and eats it sitting on the back of their trucks cars or on the grass!! The price isn't bad either. I got six tacos(great size) and a bottle of coke for I think 19. Go try it!! **Not the best picture but it's really good** ”
“ Truly the best tacos in Denver! Incredible quality (the salsa verde is top notch) and you cannot beat the price! 10/5 stars! ”
“ The owner was extremely nice and helpful. Was having a hard time choosing, and he gave me a sample of two different taco meats. Nonetheless, lengua (tongue) and barbacoa (slow cooked beef) were my favorite. Plenty of salsas came with the tacos as well. Horchata was homemade and easily one of the tastiest I've had in a while. ”
“ Food and service is amazing. The tacos are fully loaded and only 2.50. I've only had the al pastor and asada but both are filled with so much flavor, that it's hard to try the other meat options. Big bonus points for the grilled onions and jalapeno they give to every taco plate. Tortillas have a smoky flavor and don't rip on you. I drive 45 mins at times just to eat here because it's so good. ”
