Barbacoa El Oso

Great authentic Mexican street tacos. Love the pastor. Warning: the quesadillas are HUGE.

Tacos are great, but any place that decides they just wanna close 45 minutes early sucks. People follow your hours and make trips based on advertised hours, deciding you only want to sell by the pound when your cooks are sitting in booths texting is ridiculous.

Restaurant on Federal and Cornell. This review I'm vouching for the tacos de Barbacoa, if you get leg meat you getting the wrong barbacoa. $2 per taco they won't disappoint you. The competition always disappoint me with their fake barbacoa tacos. These guys know how to make the real deal. Great service and fast, they have a decent salsa bar. The tortillas need an update, they are good but they can better. I will be back to try their birria, and hopefully they won't disappoint.

The birria tacos here were super tasty, and the consomme had so much flavor. The cheese was slightly overfried, but it didn't effect it enough to take away from the flavor bomb. Staff was friendly.

I absolutely recommend the Barbacoa it's my second time fast friendly and a perfect sitting spot

So I forgot my lunch today and decided to look for a taco joint. I remember seeing Barbacoa El Oso on my Facebook feed. The place is a hole in a wall with only one other customer there. Let me tell you, the barbacoa was delicious and the salsa was great. Great tacos are hard to find in Denver, guess what I found them on South Federal Blvd.

Tasty and as authentic as if they used the water from Tijuana! 6 hours after eating 2 street tacos and I'm stuck on the toilet vomiting out of the wrong end!

Ate there yesterday and the barbacoa burrito was the best I ever had. For $5 I wish it were bigger, about the size of your typical handheld breakfast burrito, but that's my only complaint. This is made from the beef head here, not goat like a lot of other places. The meat is super tender and very well flavored. I also got a carnitas taco and an al pastor taco. Carnitas was perfectly crispy and al pastor was as good as any I've had. They sell the meat by the pound, which comes with a bunch of tortillas. Definitely the route I'm going next time.
