I've gone here twice in one week since finding this place. The food is excellent, highly recommend the shrimp tacos! And the mild salsa verde is phenomenal! Customer service is excellent and the vibes here are cozy, cheerful, and friendly.

The food was amazing. I got the Quesibirria and I was a bit skeptical about a few things but no, I was wrong. The food was great and it came out fast. The only issue I had was that I dined in the restaurant but the restaurant was awfully hot and humid. It made the experience a little bitter but it for sure didn’t ruin the taste of the food hahaha. Highly recommend

I love this place! Shrimp tacos are very very good. I always get them when I order here. I loved the sauce it has, very spicy. These tacos come with double tortilla so tacos dont break apart. Only thing I dont like is the wait time because its always very busy but its definetly worth the wait.

Delightful surprise in Rifle. Took a chance on this place for lunch, and I’m glad I did. I got the super fries, which had a lot of good subtle flavors with a big pile of delicious guacamole on top - not just straight up fat kid food. Not exactly light eating either, but very satisfying.

The asada tacos were good but the tortillas weren’t, they have a sour taste.

Friendly and quick service for lunch! I got asada sopes and my partner got an al pastor burrito. Both were great and filling and it’s always nice to have a fresh salsa bar. Good price too. Fue rico, gracias!

We stopped by on our drive from Utah and I was pleasantly surprised by this place. I really enjoyed the food. The service was good and it was a nice little resturant to eat at.

I got a Carne Asada burrito and it was off the chain. Definitely recommend trying this place. Delicious Mexican drinks and the best taco burrito I've had in years.

Food was MEH. The menu is small (which is ok if you do your food well) but just mediocre. We went here due to the high ratings and were extremely disappointed in the food. My husband had spicy shrimp tacos which were OK. My carne asada quesadilla was MEH. We wanted just chips and salsa but the girl taking orders had a limited knowledge of english, we ended up with nachos with canned nacho cheese and a bit of crema and onions. That was disappointing--The chips were good but toppings were bad. If you are starving the food will fill the hole...but not great.

This place is amazing if you want to stop for a bite to eat but don't want to get fast food but also don't want to wait a while. The staff there have never been rude to me and although they might not know perfect English they will definitely treat either way with respect. The only thing I'm not always too happy about is how tight it is in there but most people don't mind it so it really doesn't cause that bad of a problem. Their portions are also amazing! My suggestion would be the carne asada fries amazing toppings filled with love!

Great food but a little pricey for 4 street tacos around $13.58 But I guess if you authentic Mexican food in Rifle you're going to pay the price . It's just true Mexican food. Will I go there again yes, it was that good Free do it yourself hot sauces and picante sauce, jalapeños, and lime wedges

Always delicious food, the quesabirria is my favorite! The consommé is so well rounded, and the salsa bar is always fresh

Best spicy shrimp tacos I ever had! Why? Because of the thick flavorful sauce (kind of like a spicy mayo sauce) and how they cooked the shrimp with veggies (I think bell peppers, jalapeños and onions). So juicy and delicious! If I'm ever in or driving by that town, I would definitely stop in just for the shrimp tacos! They also have octopus tacos and I'm not that brave try, but my husband did and he enjoyed it as well. The other tacos were good (average like all of the good tacos out there) with meat, onions, and cilantro. They had a salsa bar. We stopped by late dinner around 8pm on a weekend and they were busy! Dining area is really small. Maybe 20 people max I would say. So many of the people that came by ordered for pick-up or to-go. We were lucky that a party left right when we got done ordering. The only thing missing was a margarita!

After a long day of ice fishing at Harvey Gap we stopped at this Restaurant hoping the tacos would be good. We ordered tortas and tacos and both my girlfriend and I are very satisfied. Food is delicious and I love their red hot sauce it reminds me of my moms sauce. Authenticity at its finest.

Place is authentic and delicious. Meats are all marinated well. Fresh, too good. More of a take out atmosphere but if your starving and looking for a quick bite and like Mexican, this is your place!

I love this place. Their food is always freshly made and delicious. I am a big fan of their octopus tacos! I do not mind waiting a little longer for their awesome food, and they even package their own orchata.

I live in the Rifle, Colorado area and have frequent this restaurant numerous of times and I really enjoy the food but, the service is TERRIBLE...as a non Hispanic customer I always seem to get placed or noticed last as the cashier and server seem to carry on conversations with other Hispanic customers while my food is sitting and waiting. Please treat every customer regardless of nationality the same cause their money spends just as good. I had a Hispanic friend of mine go in and place an order and she got her food within 3 minutes and me, non Hispanic placed an order and waited for 15 minutes while my food sat on the shelf, really disappointing. I don't think I'll eat there again unless I can speak with management and figure out what's the problem with me and my money.

Dang. Some of the best tacos I've had in a long time. I ordered a soft carne asada and a hard shell "birria." (Not sure if I spelled that correctly) but don't worry about it - just order some. The birria is a corn tortilla deep fried around shredded beef and served with an enchilada-type dipping sauce. So good. The carne asada was tender and garnished with onions and cilantro. Service is a bit slow as - wait for it - they're actually cooking your food to order back there. Grab some fresh salsa from their salsa bar and prepare to send your taste buds on a party! One of the only places in Rifle - non-chain - with decent food while I was there...

This is the best food in the area. Eat the octopus taco. I've been on a taco tour from LA to here so far and the octopus is my favorite so far. Be adventurous, try something new!!!

I'm in town for a week for work. I ate here on my second night, and I've eaten here each night since. The nachos were good and were a pretty decent size. It was more than enough for me. The spicy shrimp and spicy octopus tacos are huge and very good. The Quesabirrias tacos were awesome. Everything I ate here was good.

The tacos are fantastic here! I also tried a cucumber/lime/chia seed drink that is made by the owners and it was fantastic! I will be trying to find a copycat recipe for that on line. Give this place a try, you will love it!

Kyle W.

Yelp
Wow - they have awesome tacos! Must tries are the Taco De Cameron (Spicy Shrimp Soft Taco) and the Quesabirrias (beef street taco). Very reasonably priced tacos especially for the quality. Pro tip - they have a salsa bar and if your from down south and like hot salsa their "very hot" is spot on!
