El Taco De Mexico

I've been going to the "soul kitchen" since before they had the new building. If I had only one meal in life to eat on it would be here. I no longer live in Denver, but the very first place I go after leaving DIA is here. The only issue I've ever had was whether to order the smothered chili relleno burrito or the tacos al pastor

I come here for one reason and one reason only, the Chile Relleno burrito smothered in green chile. Everything else I’ve had here is good. Somethings are as good as I’ve had elsewhere and somethings I’ve had better elsewhere. The rest of the menu really doesn’t matter to me because I will, and have, driven 200 miles out of my way just for this burrito. I love chile relleno burritos! It’s my go to item if I see it on the menu somewhere. I’ve tried a ton of them and this is my favorite. It’s a big burrito, not enormous, but it’s bigger than a burrito from Alberto’s, Filiberto’s, pick your favorite berto’s which is bigger than most burritos.The inside is filled with very tasty rice and beans, but most importantly a very generous portion of a cheese stuffed green chile pepper. It’s lightly battered in egg and deep fried so that there is a little bit of crispiness in many of the bites. There’s enough Chile Relleno to get some in every bite of the burrito along with the beans and rice if you’re paying attention. This is all wrapped in a perfect burrito tortilla meaning it stays out of the way flavor wise, adds a little chewiness to each bite, and holds together throughout the meal without getting soggy or falling apart-the perfect vehicle to convey the tastiness of this burrito. And if that wasn’t enough, this burrito is smothered in one of the most wonderful green chili sauces I’ve ever had. The green chili is a rich brown color and you can see in it pieces of the chili, onions and other seasonings that were cooked to perfection to make this excellent sauce. it’s not a heavy or thick green chile sauce. It’s light, savory and a wonderful compliment to the burrito. Take your time and pay attention to the wonderful blend of flavors in every well balanced bite you take. If you like green chile burritos and especially chile relleno burritos, you need to come to El Taco de Mexico and try this one out. If you have one that you like better, i sincerely want to know where it’s from so I can go try it. Some of my favorite items are: Chile Relleno Burrito smothered in green chile ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My guide on how I use the 5 star system: ⭐️ = Not good ⭐️⭐️ = Not terrible, but would not get again ⭐️⭐️⭐️ = Solid, but I’d try something else before this again ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ = Really liked it! You should try this ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ = Loved it! Must try I’ll make adjustments to my ratings after subsequent visits. If you see a .3 or .7 it means: .3 = Wasn’t as good the 2nd or last time I tried it .7 = This was better the 2nd or last time I tried it.

As a daughter of a Mexican woman I’m always in search of tacos as good as hers. This may have beat out my mamas tacos. So authentic and flavorful I feel transported to Mexico

Holy smokes, the food is incredible here. You'll quickly be greeted with countless awards and accolades for this modest, hole-in-the-wall feel of a restaurant, and you'll soon find out why. I had a smothered chile relleno burrito, and it was one of the best Mexican dishes I've ever had. There is very little seating, and the kitchen staff is modest, but the food came out fast and delicious. I can't recommend this enough for someone looking for amazing authentic Mexican food in the Denver area.

This is a Denver classic. It's far from undiscovered - it regularly makes local "best of" lists, and for good reason, because it's &#$@ delicious. Essentially: is it fancy? Not in the slightest. Is it big? No, they have like five booths in the whole place, and you'll probably have to wait for one to open up. But is it some of the best dang Mexican food in Denver? Heck yeah.

Authentic and delicious. Get the green chili pork burrito. The answer is always “yes” when asked, Do you want it smothered.
