El Taco Veloz Denver

Thankfully, my fellow Yelpsters pulled through with a solid late night eats recommendation, as we were waiting out a storm on Mt Evans far later than planned & we came down HUNGRY. We were prepared for a line, the order process & salsa bar, again, thanks to the Yelposphere. We walked in shortly after 10pm to about a dozen people in line & the sound of Spanglish being spoken. My husband looked panicked briefly & said he was overwhelmed, before asking me to order for him - ha. We went in planning to get taco plates, but I changed it up since we were famished. We ordered 2 plates: carne asada & al pastor, churros & I also added a glass bottle coke and horchata - because, ya know ... we needed them. The line moved fast & orders were up pretty quickly as well. The table was sticky but I was too busy sucking down my horchata to care. Suddenly our food was up, tho they forgot the churros, but, so did I until we were heading to the truck & we were plenty full. I didn't go back to point it out. We tried 5 of the offerings from the salsa bar - all were pretty solid. The tortillas were the perfect amount for the food on the plate. I thought both of our meats were a bit heavily salted, tho tender and easily balanced with the cilanto, onion & pepper mix. I scooped my beans and avocado with the chips, polished off the rice & meat - but skipped the lettuce & tomato. I'm thrilled we didn't stop at a drive thru & would definitely stop back in.

Stopped by for lunch today and was very impressed. Delicious tacos (al pastor, carne asada, barbacoa, and chicharron), perfect portions, and great price. The salsa bar had some nice options at all spice levels. The horchata was very good as well. Will definitely be back to try more of the menu!
