Review El Taco Veloz - Denver

Teresa Morgan
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.

Killer salsa bar! Everything we ordered came out correct, fast, and delicious. The whole place was clean. Very little English, so if you're on a stay-cation you can pretend you're in Mexico!

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!

I went to their previous location once or twice unless it was here and just seems like new place with renovations, came to nearby business and noticed this new location, said have been here 1 year already. It seems the location is fairly new or perhaps it's not quite complete with kitchen details. Not sure, however the cashier believe is the owner was courteous it's order and pay at the register. Being such a nice restaurant I'm assuming they would eventually become full service restaurant. For now however they'll bring you your food, they have a salsa bar where you can help yourself to limes, napkins, salsa, guacamole, cucumbers and variety of condiments. The tacos smelled great, I ordered 2 Al pastor and 2 barbacoa. Think they got cold quick due to salsa I put on them , the salsa bar is refrigerated after all. However they still tasted great, the barbacoa just needed a tad of salt like is usually the case with any steamed meats. I would suggest you stop by, definately a nice venue and unique, location is quite large and menu is also quite diverse with many types of dishes; I just wanted a quick bite so just got tacos.

We went in really early and the staff that was there at the time were super friendly towards us . We ordered smother burritos and everything was so delicious , seasoning was on point too. La agua de horchata was so good . The restaurant itself was so clean inside and the parking too .

Just found this place on a whim. Absolutely amazing!!!! They're open late, good prices, authentic food. They just started serving Quesabirria.... the best I've ever had!!! Great Horchata too!!

Outstanding. The Gorditas are hand made and out of this work. The employees are super friendly. Oh and the salsa bar is top shelf. My only complaint is the plasticware is so crappy you can barely cut through anything but I will be back maybe I will bring my own silverware.

I love getting the caldo, it's delicious and not super salty. Oh yeah, the taco are amazing. My daughter loves the chicken nuggets (typical kid) but she will dabble with a burrito every now and then. Service is super friendly and food comes in a decent time and is good!

I've been waiting for this place to open up its doors again and Wow! They certainly have not lost their touch. Tacos are the best in Denver❤ l also Love the new location/restaurant. If you haven't gone, GO CHECK THEM OUT! Especially if you love tacos. You will not be disappointed. #bestcustomer

We're so happy Taco Veloz has opened in our neighborhood. The agua fresca is incredible (we ordered the mango and horchata). We loved the breakfast burritos too. You can order them smothered or regular. We cannot wait to visit again and order dinner with margaritas. Oh and the salsa bar is the best!

Tacos were above average, hand made tortilla really adds up. Asada was the best (ordered pastor, chorizo, carnitas and asada) 4 stars because their salsas in the salsa bar were frozen cold.

Not the friendliest staff. However, the food was good. We loved the quesadillas with beef and pineapple. The horchata and cucumber lime drinks were so worth every penny. The flauta plate was meh. Cheesecake great. There was zero energy in the restaurant. Also, the salsa bar was very dim and didn’t give sanitary vibes to me. However, my partner loved it.

I wonderful spot for authentic mexican street-style food. The tacos are great! The carne asada fries are amazing. Homemade sauces, salsas, and mexican drinks. Friendly staff and a clean place.

Been coming here for a while. Usually go for a few tacos but today I craving a burrito. Went with pastor and carne asada. Both were great. Fresh and slightly toasted tortilla. Both meats were perfect. Their tacos are always on point. Staff is friendly and helpful. Definitely a place worth the quick stop.

Food is excellent, fast and reasonably priced. Not all menu items are presented in English and not all of the staff speak English. Those who do speak English will help you understand the menu.

Overall some really good tacos. Definitely want to go back to try some other food.

Real good, authentic tacos. Quick service. Nice selection of tasty sauces. Great selection of drinks. We got al pastor tacos and YUM! They were delicious. We would for sure come back for the tacos. Open late and reasonably priced.
