This Santa Fe Drive institution has been slinging authentic tacos since before Denver's taco scene exploded, and it shows in every bite. El Taco De Mexico keeps it simple and does it right - handmade tortillas, perfectly seasoned carnitas, and al pastor that actually tastes like Mexico. The no-frills interior won't win design awards, but the abuela-approved recipes and generous portions will win your heart. Cash-friendly prices make it perfect for post-workout fuel or late-night cravings. The kind of place where construction workers eat alongside food bloggers, and everyone leaves satisfied. Order the carnitas tacos and thank us later. Pro tip: their weekend barbacoa sells out fast for good reason.
