1001 Santa Fe Dr

Literally the most amazing tacos i've had in my life. The steak is incredible I was in shock of how delicious it was!

The walls are pink, green and orange. It's a modest restaurant. Family owned, bilingual. You know what's not modest? ..... Those tacos. My goodness... I cannot believe this gem has not came up on my radar! 2.50$ a taco. And I gotta tell ya worth every penny. Way better than those hipster $7 tacos. Also, pickled onions and jalapeños Red onion, habaneros, pickled . Pickled radish. I ate so. Many. Onions. I can't believe how amazing they are.

The hubs and I wanted to give this a try for a little while so put it at the top of the list the next time we were in the area. I went with the barbacoa sope and got two. They were decent sized but not too big. The shell was a little crispier than I've had and I prefer a slightly softer sope. But the meat was seasoned really well and the salsa bar had some awesome salsas. My husband got street tacos / barbacoa, asada and carnitas. They again were the perfect size and fit the ticket. Service was fast and friendly. The other patrons were construction workers which is a really good sign of the food.

Hold up...why have I not been here?? This place is tits! I've been living down the street for over a year and kept putting it off. Finally gave it a shot and, sure enough, it's awesome. I've been missing out this whole time... They suggested the carnitas burrito. I think it was like $9. Honestly, it's one of the best burritos I've had in Denver. It was good size. The meat was seasoned well, and the overall distribution of ingredients was on point so you get a little bit of everything in each bite. Overall great burrito and reasonably priced. Def going back. I'd give it a 4.7 outta 5. I'll be going back

I was very excited to try Tacos Selene as I have seen it in several lists for best tacos in Denver and has been recommended many times. I think it just got over hyped... I am always okay with Americanized Mexican food but if you are claiming to be a full on Mexican restaurant, then the expectation is very high. Anyways, Service: It's counter service and everyone that helped me pun was very nice. Ambiance: Very low key. There's a salsa bar which is well stocked and has delicious salsas. Specifically, the green one. Other than that, it is a very casual restaurant. The focus here is obviously on the food. Food: Honestly, meh. Maybe it's on me as I didn't try the tacos and got some sopes instead. I tried the pastor, carne asada, and pulled pork. They were all okay - nothing amazing and with so many new options out there, I feel like there's better places. I will give it another try to actually try the tacos and we will see.

What a spot. High quality food, great prices, and a fun atmosphere to pull it all together. Plus a salsa bar! Wins all around.

So glad that Tacos Selene is in my neighborhood. Breakfast burritos, tacos, tortas, everything here is great. It's affordable. Salsa bar with the best salsas! Love those pickled onions with habaneros. And of course the gals working are always friendly. Would rather eat there than the other 2 spots on Santa Fe.

The food is fantastic, the service friendly and the location is walking distance from home. I don't know how much of the decoration is left over from the restaurant that used to be there, but there is a lot of color and the tables are easy to move around for larger groups. All in all a good place to grab a quick meal when I don't want to cook.

I've been looking for a good, inexpensive street taco place for so long and am SO happy that I have found one. This place is clean and with an incredible salsa bar (to include pickled carrots/jalapenos/onions AND pickled habanero red onions)! Their street tacos currently run at $2 each. I had the barbacoa and al pastor, which were both incredible! Just a heads up that this location is limited to street parking!

Best tacos Ive had in Denver. Also VERY affordable. So cheap I felt guilty about it. Because of that we tried a bunch of things on the menu for dinner so you won't have to ;) Here is the taco ranking: 1. Barbacoa Quesadilla: For the love of your taste buds please order this. I promise you will be so happy you did. Thank me later. 2. Barbacoa Taco: The meat is just killer. I'm sure you're noticing a Barbacoa trend here. 3. Al Pastor: The flavor of the pork and the pineapple? Absurd. I mean just look at the sauce in the picture below. 4. Carnitas: Tied honestly in 3rd--- this place just knows how to do pork. Not dry in the slightest. 5. Carne Asada: Most meh-- I would get any of the above over this. 6. Carne Asada Burrito: Steak was dry and burrito was as dense. You felt like you needed to dump it into sauce just to enjoy. Do not recommend-- but if you're desperate for a super cheap 'rrito this is it. Whenever I come to Sante Fe Dr I am stopping here.

Was on Santa Fe for Dia De Los Muertos celebrations and stopped in here for tacos! Love it when you can still find $2.50 tacos that are decent! Did not disappoint. The Al pastor and carnitas were my favorite!

I attend school like 5 minutes walking distance from here and it's definitely my go to place when I don't pack lunch. It's cheap (coming from a college student) and very filling. They are so kind and super fast. The salsa table is always so clean and easy to grab from. Their horchata and hibiscus water is absolutely delicious and flavorful, not too sugary which I LOVE AND SO Refreshing! My go to order is the sopes bc they're healthy but the tacos and burritos are so classic and yummy! I will say they did raise their sopes from like $3 to $4 and their tacos from like $2 each to about 3or4 dollars (not too sure) in the span of like 2 months but still cheap considering an order of tacos anywhere else in downtown is like $20 for some wild reason. Overall super good I love this place

Loved their Breakfast Burritos! This is the closest I can get to San Diego breakfast burritos here in Denver. Definitely plan to return. The staff were friendly, and the service was quick! What I ordered: Breakfast Burrito - Bacon, Egg, Cheese, & Potato

The tacos are always delicious! No complaints about the service. The girl behind the counter was very nice. Ambiance is relaxing and it wasn't too busy for lunch.

Stopped in for tacos while driving around on a Tuesday. Food was hot and fresh. Tacos were loaded with meat and all the meats we tried were well seasoned and juicy. My favorite was the barbacoa Best part was the open salsa bar with all the toppings and pickled veggies

The tacos are awesome. Street taco style for $2 each. No crazy prices. My go-to is the carne asada - can't go wrong. The Pollo is tasty too. I've tried the other proteins and the steak and chicken are my favorite. They come on corn tortillas with onions and cilantro. There's a cold salsa bar with plenty of toppings. I enjoy the smoky Chipotle sauce, pickled onions, pico and lime. I recently had a burrito. It comes with protein, rice, beans and salsa. They are moderate-sized, and perfect for a decent meal. If you are starving, you might want to order 2 burritos. The restaurant is clean, service friendly, and orders are up quickly. I love the central location on Santa Fe where parking isnt too challenging when i usually drip by. Stop by and support this neighborhood restaurant!

Lovely place to chat and eat. Music was traditional and prices fair. The torta Milanese was extra spicy though.

Barbacoa tacos were seasoned perfectly, they were juicy, and did not have any fat. The salsa was also the perfect topper for it! The lady at the register was quick to take our order and for 6 tacos it came out to $16 which was great compared to other places I've been especially for the flavor of the food! 10/10 would go again!

I dream of their massive veggie burritos that cost less than $10 and their salsa bar is a gift.

The breakfast burritos are the best and very affordable. They have a salsa station that has great variety. Reminds me of Mexican food from home!

This really is authentic Mexican. Absolutely amazing. We tried tacos and tortas - carne asada and el pastor are perfect. Definitely recommend.

What in the hell took me soo long to get here?!?!? Sooo good. Tastes like Mexican food from California which I love and miss! The rice and beans take me back to quinceañeras its soo good. Glad we finally drive down

I live in Vegas, And I have tried their 3 restaurants everytime I am in Denver! I crave their burritos so it's a must when I'm in town ! I stayed in downtown Denver and to my surprise they have a new restaurant!! It is delicious and very clean! They have the best staff ever. I am Mexican and I am PICKY with Mexican food. I recommend 100 %

Tacos Selene opened last Monday (9/12/22). I had been looking forward to this ever since I saw their "coming soon" sign as the area's restaurant options are very limited. I stopped by tonight and ordered six tacos for $2 each, which is a great deal. They also have burritos, menudo, and horchata, which I'll definitely try later. The tacos were spot on, and the staff was super friendly. I'm excited for this restaurant since apartments are going up across and down the street, which will definitely help give them business. If you're in the area and hungry for tacos, definitely give this place a try.

We visited opening week and it was really good! My favorite tacos were the carnitas, followed by the asada and then the barbacoa. My partner enjoyed the barbacoa the most. The meat was seasoned right, the tortillas were fresh, and the salsa bar had everything I could wish for on a taco. The asada burrito with everything was good. Loved their salsa verde. It's hot, but won't murder you like some other places. Tasty! Had to get a Mexican coke to wash it all down. Also, they play real Mexican music! Tocale con ganas, Jose Alfredo! Very spacious dining area. Limited street parking but was lucky to snag a spot on Santa Fe. Great area to walk off a little of that delicious food. Good service and ready to return!

I love this place. I live in the area about a mile away and have walked by a few times. Today I finally stopped in and really happy that I did. The staff were super nice and friendly which always makes dining pleasant. I got three street tacos, carne asada, pork with pineapple and steak. They were all very flavorful and tasty. There is also a salsa bar with a variety of salsa from mild to super hot. The Agua Fresca was refreshing as well. Stop in and support the business. I can't wait to go back and get a breakfast burrito.

I have picked up food from here three times now. Each time it has been so delicious. it is genuinely authentic and doesn't taste like a lot of the americanized "mexican" food we see nowadays. the food always comes out quick, is priced well, and is always hot! their salsa bar has quite a few options- i've tried them all, and they are all good!! I get two burritos whenever I go now because I always want another, even if i'm not that h

I work on the same block as this restaurant. I have ordered pretty much everything on the menu that I care to ingest (no buche, no chicharron). I have met the Owner and they are a pleasure. But I seriously don't understand the positive ratings for this place. The meat preparation is not good. The Pollo is literally boiled or roasted with zero spice/sauce. The Asada is more like chipped beef (and twice in a row I encountered a bone shard in it) and fairly tasteless. Al Pastor and carnitas are 'passable'. But just do yourself a favor and drive up to Federal Ave. to get something more flavorful. Most DRY breakfast burrito I've ever had. Thier salsas, while good and of variety, can't drown out the poor meat preparation and flavoring.

I visited here on a recent trip to Denver and these tacos were some of the best that I've had in the US. They are authentic and are made with the freshest ingredients. I highly recommend the carnitas tacos as well as the tacos al pastor. The staff was extremely friendly and we felt welcomed here. The restaurant is spacious and clean, we will definitely be back the next time we are in the area.

I now have tried dinner, and yum! The veggie burrito was delicious and the sopes were also great. I love the warm and toasty tortilla on the burrito. Everyone is always so friendly! Check this place out!!

Tacos are AMAZING! I loved the carne asada and my wife loved the Al pastor. Def will come here again.

It's very mixed reviews since I got 4 different things. I got 2 tacos one of asada and carnitas. It barely had any meat on it very little meat. I was hoping for a little more the carnitas were not the best didn't have to much flavor. The asada was okay nothing special. The tortillas were a little dry. I also got a torta de asada. It was delicious the bread was nice and soft and everything was portioned well. My husband got a burrito. He said it was good but the meat was mainly in the middle so it wasn't spread out evenly so the first and last couple bites were mainly just rice and beans. I was hoping to get delicious tacos but I was disappointed. The service was really good the young lady at register was nice and welcoming. Food was delivered fast and hot so that's good It was very clean and tidy. The salsa bar was kept clean and stocked.

This place just opened three days ago, and it is fantastic! Family-run, really authentic and homey taqueria. Simple menu - basically tacos, burritos and tortas, in the usual selection of proteins - chicken, pork al pastor, beef, etc. I had the al pastor, in a burrito. Deelish, and reasonably priced. They also have horchata and aqua frescas, and a salsa bar of their house-made salsas and condiments. Great addition to the neighborhood, and glad the old Interstate Restaurant space is alive again.

Gas. Good service. Good vibes. And the tacos ALWAYS HIT. I usually get the carne asada tacos & they have a mini bar with sides/sauces. They have good prices for the tacos which is fire.

Great addition to the neighborhood. Friendly service and fantastic tacos. Wish they had a liquor license but maybe in the future!

If you're looking for cheap, delicious street tacos, this is your place! Tacos are literally only $2...and on top of that, they are full of flavor. We tried almost all the taco types; the Barbacoa was my favorite followed closely by the carnitas and al pastor. It's a complete steal! They have a salsa bar with lots of interesting, tasty salsas and a good mix of mild and spicy options. The service was very fast as well. The only point of advice I'd give is that they should sell tortilla chips! It was great trying the salsas on all my tacos but if they offered a tortilla chip + salsa bar menu item, that would be pretty awesome. I can't wait to go back and try their other menu items

Excellent food and reasonable prices. Best authentic Mexican I've had since leaving Texas!

Good food and affordable!!! Service is nice. The staff are friendly. The ambiance is open and chill :-)

Tacos Selene is a wonder at the price. Their carne is the best! We went for lunch so don't know what it's like for a more degustation-like experience but I would expect no disappointment! Locals recommended it.

Food is great and prices so reasonable. Service is always friendly. Ambiance is basic but clean and bright.

Awesome street tacos! Fresh and authentic food with great service. Salsa bar with pico is a huge plus to add more flavor and/or heat. Did I mentioned it's only $2/taco - can't beat it.

Best tacos I've had in Denver! Delicious!!! I would highly reccomend. The staff are also friendly and quick.

This place is great!! I just moved from San Diego and have been missing the taco scene. The food is amazing and $2 a taco is unbeatable. I may have found my new go-to place!

A great breakfast burrito and the menudo is decent, very friendly and fresh salsa bar.

There used to be an overpriced hipster bar/restaurant here. The type that serves grilled Brussel sprouts for like $13. This place is much better. Got a horchata and barbacoa quesadilla. Came out quick, hot, and delicious. Will definitely be back.

Delicious, fresh and well made food. Friendly service. Loved the salsa selections. I'll be back!

Selene, herself, working all by herself on a snow day, killed it! Definitely going back!

The food was great and you could tell it was authentic. Salsa bar was stocked and the service was very nice as well.
