"The tacos were small but tasty! the restaurant has great decor and it is in a great spot for nightlife. Parking could be hard but it's worth it, especially for TACO TUESDAY!"

"We made a reservation on Cinco de Mayo for 7:45. When we arrived the hostess imformed us the kitchen was closed and all we could order was chips and drinks. She also was totally wasted.... real professional. But really who closes their kitchen that early! Their tacos sounded really good so I'm sad I never got to try them. It will be a while before a make another attempt."

"What an awful experience. The good: the corn chips weren't terrible. The bad: everything else. From the 80's disco played at deafening volume, to the server who brought the completely wrong appetizer then tried to argue us into taking it, to the overpriced and nearly undrinkable margarita (seriously, how hard is it to make a decent margarita in a tequila bar?), this is one of the worst restaurants in LoDo."

"They had a big birthday party the night we went but our server just ignored us. The food was great and the bus boy was more our server than the waitress. I wanted to just give the tip straight to him. Loved the food though and very strong Margs! Nice place, hopefully when we go back the service will be better"

"TACO accepted a reservation on Open Table even though they were hosting a large organization gathering that filled the restaurant to capacity. We showed up for our reservation and the entire restaurant was booked out because of the gathering. Nobody was there to greet us and let us know we could not be seated, and I did not receive any notification beforehand. I've had the food before and it's pretty good, but this particular instance was very disappointing."

"I had quite a variety this time out: Carnitas, chicken mole, shrimp, & the new mushroom tacos. I also had the salad and a margarita. The tacos are ok but expensive for the size in my mind. The salad was very good. Margarita was not good at all. Either Sauza tequila is the worst or they just don't mix their cocktails very well. I guess for four bucks I tried, they failed, and well, I don't have to do that again."

"We read a few iffy reviews and were not expecting too much - but we had a great experience. The hostess was super apologetic when she couldn't seat us right away, and checked back with us twice to let us know the status of our table. It was just a few minutes and we enjoyed a margarita at the bar. The two appetizers were the hit of the evening - shrimp ceviche and their salad. Both excellent with wonderful flavors and good portion size. The tacos were interesting and some better than others (cheese with added steak was the best), but all were good. True, it is odd that they feature a watermelon margarita and then are out of it early on a Friday night, but.. we tried the grapefruit mint one and it was delicious. We will definitely go back."
