La Choza

I have been coming here for over a decade. I always get the Torta Pastor. The torta I had on 3/15/25 was good....best torta youll ever have....however they arent as great as they used to be. I think they changed up the seasoning at some point for the torta pastor. However, the salsa for the chips and salsa is amazing. So fresh and delicious.

Hidden gem in north Boulder - just off Broadway near 36. Lots of choices, very reasonable prices, nice peeps, and bloody excellent food. I love the wrapped burrito, personally. Very, very good sauces too. Don't think twice. This is the place.

What more can I say, quite literally one the best breakfast burritos that I’ve had in Boulder, in fact probably anywhere!! Nice and hot, fresh cracked eggs, delicious! I mention this place to anyone I can. Love it here and will continue to support them!! The salsas are the best! Thank you

These are decent very authentic Mexican style tacos at a great price, $11 for four with your choice of two flavors. The salsas are self-serve which is nice and they are good. I think the carnitas however were mushy and not a hint of crispiness. Al pastor is better and tasty. The tortillas were nicely fried up. This a total hole in the wall place with seating that looks like it was done in the 60s and never re-done, which I love.

Great lunch or snack! I like getting two shrimp tacos for my snack. Everyone is pleasant and the place is clean. They GOTTA get some diet Coke though!

My partner and I went to this place after a long hike around the Brainard Lake Area. It’s been on our list for a while and honestly we were pretty impressed. The sign outside that read “best tacos in town” is legitimate. I got 4 shrimp tacos for $13, which is such a deal in a place like Boulder. My partner got the enchilada platter and while I thought the sauce was too overpowering, he loved it. The atmosphere felt kinda run down, but the food makes up for it ten fold. Honestly hard to find places like this in Boulder with restaurants that seem scrubbed free of any personality or charm. Definitely give this place a try!

Veggie Burrito, smothered, and they were kind enough to put french fries in it for me. Perfect

Such nice people. Great prices. Awesome portions. Solid 10/10 experience. Briza is so cool, and absolutely the reason I'll be back.

Best tacos in town hands down and you def got to try the La Choza burger it's amazing, been going here for years and will continue to for years to come, go at least once a month if not once a week

La Choza has officially become one of my favorite Mexican eateries in Boulder. As a foodie, I've learned to never judge a restaurant by its appearance, because some of the best places to eat at are either the small mom and pop restaurants or the hole-in-the-wall restaurants. I honestly much prefer these places over the fancy shmancy restaurants where the food is usually subpar at best. Originally, I was leaning towards taking our food to go, but I'm so glad we decided to dine in instead. We ordered the al pastor tacos and the torta with al pastor meat and fries--everything was so delicious and fresh. Although there are a few items on the menu that sound really appealing, I'll have to try my best not to order the same thing every time. The food is easily a 10/10. Service was great too. The woman who took our order was super friendly and helped my dining companion choose between 2 dishes. It was a toss up, but I think she helped us make the right choice for what we were craving today. I'll definitely be coming back!

This hole in the wall is such a great place. I came here on an afternoon. I ordered the taco platter and 4 tacos. 2 carnitas, 2 asada, and 2 barbacoa. The barbarcoa was soooo delicious! I love the mini sauce bar, my favorite sauces are the habanero, avocado, and chipotle! Lots of parking nearby. This place is tucked in the corner. The service was quick and friendly.

I just paid $3.50 for a pop. I threw away the cup of Dr Pepper I wanted to drink by accident. I went back in and politely asked for another cup. The lady then locked the door on me and refused to give me another cup. I had to leave then without service. Very rude people. I understand that supplies are expensive but I've been a customer for years. I won't eat their shitty Mexican food anymore

At first you are going to question your decision coming here. however as soon as you step in you are met with a friendly smile and a homey atmosphere. The most friendly woman greets you and helps you with everything you need. if you are looking for some delicious tacos and wanna help out a local business, this is your stop.

Love this place! The California burrito is perfect! It is unpretentious, fast, and friendly.

i got half steak half chicken tacos & wow. so amazing. the food came out quick and we also got salsas as well. i had the pico, avocado and habanero and they were all perfect for the tacos. it's perfect sizing and the workers are delightful. had a wonderful experience and will be back

My boyfriend and I got horrible food poisoning from here. I've never left a review before, but I have never experienced anything like that. There was bones in our chicken, but I thought nothing of it until about an hour after we ate. All hell broke loose. The man working was the only one there, which I'm sure was stressful. But he seemed extremely mad for no reason at all.

Le magnifique ! Buena comida y excelente servicio ! Muy amables y eficientes... Espacio adecuado para un amigable servicio

Delicious chile relleno burrito! Small little hole in the wall place. Love to support this small business

Don't judge a book by its cover. Very unassuming little taco shop. None of that matters because it is incredible. Everything here is delicious, but if you don't get the al pastor, you've done yourself a disservice.

Fast, nice, kind, delicious, authentic. Hole in the wall vibe but appealing to families and walk ins. I would eat here everyday if I had the funds and gumption to try every menu item. Give this place a try if you're returning from a hike. -Mike

loveeee this little place!! food is reasonably priced and portions are HUGE!!! super authentic! i got the shrimp tacos, steak burrito, and horchata, 10/10

Amazing! Best Mexican food I've had in years! so affordable, delicious, friendly staff. a bit of a hole in the wall, but a don't miss in Boulder!!

Been coming here for 10 years and it's been absolutely phenomenal... arrived this morning and bought two breakfast burritos and two glass cokes and I never have a problem paying more than I'd like because you can't beat the breakfast burritos. Tipped generously after spending $30.00 and was told I coulnt have more than three sauce containers after asking for only one more with my initial order. I only wanted four sauces for two different people but wasn't able to secure the sauces. Don't have 8 different sauces and not expect someone to only want two cups for two people. Last time I spend my money here. The little things break great bonds.

customer service was horrible, I orders my food online about 15 mins before they go to lunch (which I did not know.) I waited an hour for the food I ordered 45 mins before hand and they didn't bother to say anything about lunch, these people are not considerate.. the women at the counter made fun of my ordwr, silly women didn't think I spoke Spanish think again next time MA'AM

Excellent tacos. One of my go to places in Boulder. It's a little hard to find. It's a small place in an older strip shopping center on north Broadway.

Best Burritos in Boulder! Amazing staff. Straight Fire you won't regret it, and you will come back for more with your friends or for a date.

Lots of choices in a divey atmosphere. Breakfast burritos and tacos with a range of internals. Very delicious and there are / we're 5 salsas to choose. I liked the jalapeño guacamole salsa. Has enough kick but not too much. Don't expect service beyond having your order fulfilled. That said, the food is quite good.

Best breakfast burrito in Boulder, and reasonably priced. My go to is the Italian (with sausage), with added avocado. They also do a decent California burrito, but I add guacamole always.

The food here is good. It's not spectacular, but it's good. You know what's not good? Spending 30 minutes eating your meal and having your clothes and car smell like fajitas for the next 36 hours. Seriously - I had to wash my clothes twice and leave the windows down on my car for two nights to get the smell out. And Febreze my laundry room. Not worth it.

The carnitas burrito was very good, I usually do the beef selections so this is a new surprise. The con, for a hole in the wall taqueria like this, I would expect a little extra as free chips (yes salsa is free), maybe I am pampered but that's usually the case in California.

Best tacos in boulder, in my opinion. I felt like I was back in Mexico. I'll be back.

good prices, stellar burritos and tacos, quick service. They have a dine-in area and outdoor patio but I usually do takeout. I repeat: food is TASTY here

Best breakfast burrito in Boulder. Better have a healthy appetite because they are huge. We plan to go back for more and try the lunch menu

Food is always excellent! A little slower than fast food and the "ambience" is definitely "hole in the wall." But you should know, "hole in the wall" means excellent, authentic comida! I always look forward to working in Boulder so I can grab a burrito!

This is a serious taqueria, with serious tacos, terrific and plentiful self-serve salsas, and a great staff. The pastor is exactly right, well charred with pineapple accompaniment. The asada is salty, seared, and delicious. The barbacoa - in this rendition beef cheeks - is a huge winner, and is unctuous, delicate, and frankly just about as good as tacos get. Everything cilantro and onion. This is my favorite Mexican food in Boulder County, which means that it's also in my top three overall eateries within a thirty mile radius. Highest Recommendation.

It's okay. I ordered a jumbo burrito and it's big but not much flavor and not wrapped, had to eat it out if a bowl. I did drive back to Denver with it so it was about 45 minutes before I ate it but the tortilla was mush.

comida caducada muy sucio el lugar no se recomienda muy mal servicio es mejor buscar otro lugar o restaurante

Ordered on phone. Pick up was quick. Carne asada and pastor were both great! The self-serve salsas are legit. Muy bien!

Food was tasty. Very polite and helpful young lady at the counter. Don't judge a book by the cover. This place is not much to look at and you'll miss it driving by if you aren't careful, but the food and service was great!

Wonderful New Mexican food and every meal comes with a sopapilla. Avoid The Shed and here instead. It is the sister restaurant.

Wow actual decent and AUTHENTIC taco place in boulder. It may be a pretty far drive in boulder being all the way north but if you're stuck living up here for college it's worth it. I got the al pastor tacos and they were pretty good. Are they the best tacos I've had in Colorado? No, that still goes to tacos junior. I also got the carne asada quesadilla. That was bloody delicious. So cheesy I was loving it. The carne asada fries were okay but quesadilla so good. Okay I'll stop talking about the quesadilla. The horchata was refreshing! Not too sweet and not fake. There's not much seating inside and outside but not too many eating in. Parking lot is small but not too much people as well. Overall #kevinismuybueno

Ordered via phone for pickup * Carne asada burrito (wrapped in foil) * Torta milanesa de pollo + fries * Chips and salsa Cost ~$20 Some drawbacks * I figured burrito would be a burrito but turned out to be a wrap :( maybe I missed that. * Avocado in the torta was not fresh * Pollo was not a breaded chicken cutlet as you'd imagine for milanesa. Think shreds of rotisserie chicken lightly breaded. This sandwich was sort of messy to eat because of that. But the chicken and sandwich was overall was tasty. * Packaging was in styrofoam trays. I think packaging could be more eco friendly. The positives * Cute booths to sit at would def want to eat on site after COVID goes away. *Steak fries were nice and crunchy * Size portions were pretty good for the cost

Food truck is horrible guys working there Bearly know what they doing worst tacos ever got charged 2 times for my order horrible and unprofessional customer service

best tacos i have had in my life!!!!! and very fast service!! definitely coming again!!!

Every now and then the veil to the other side of reality appears here in Boulder. North Boulder used to be the "Dogpatch" of town. Two strip clubs (yeah, there was one other than the Bus Stop) a few dive bars, Judy's Diner, and a scattering of trailers. Now it's been gentrified, tredified, Google-ized and hipped out, yet there remains a few of the old style establishments. I'm not sure how long La Choza has been around, but I hope they continue to fight the rebellion. When you walk in, you're not sure if your on South Federal or North Broadway. Your map will tell you Broadway, but looking around, this place in no way resembles Boulder. Refreshing. You order at the counter, lay down your $3.50, and have the options of something like ten different varieties of breakfast burritos. Santiago's can't hold a candle to this, folks. There you have 1 (one) choice of meat, and it's whatever the cook wants that day. Here, they have it all. Asada, carnita, chorizo, barbacoa, and some I've never heard of before. There's six kinds of salsas to the right of the counter, they kindly ask that you only take what you need. The plywood booths speak of thousands before you, witnesses to the goodness that lurks inside that foil-wrapped tube of heaven that's about to be placed before you. Enjoy. I sure as hell did...

I love supporting local small businesses. I got 2 beef and 2 chicken tacos with a classic glass-bottled Coca Cola. The tacos were pretty average, thankfully there were some free sauces at the counter that totally made the meal. I'm really surprised it tasted like the meats were not seasoned well. There were flies buzzing all about the counter area. Thankfully I got my food togo. Probably wouldn't again.

Place is a hole in the wall, but the food is worth overlooking the location. Salt salsa's are all authentic with a large selection to choose from. My group had different tacos and everyone liked their selection. Recommend the shrimp, carnitas, and carné asada tacos.

Not one person (Even The Cook Breathing and Handling Your Food) wearing a protective mask as mandated by Boulder County for obvious health reasons during Covid-19 health mandates issued. Walked in made these observations and immediately walked out!! Stay Away.......

We sorta ambushed them with like 12-13 people but they held up admirably and slung out burritos, breakfast and otherwise, to a group of decidedly haggard men in need of salvation. One of those men (me) ordered a jumbo smothered al pastor burrito and it was great. The pastor had that mix of fat and crunch that is the goal of all great al pastor and carnitas. The breakfast burritos are almost comically cheap for how much you get at $3.50 also.

Have to change my rating , Love the food, been here many times and finally took my wife on Friday March 30th. We were both enjoying the shrimp tacos until the lady who takes orders decided to sweep and mop. we were at the table by the register and after sweeping gets a mop and decides to pour half a jug of Faboluso onto the mop. we could not move outside due to foul weather so we finished our meal as fast as we could to get out of the stink. Pro tip lady. if you must mop during business hours please just use hot water and leave the disinfecting to after hours.

This was a pretty close to a Qudoba or Chipotle. The spot was very clean and the line moved very quickly. I had a steak burrito with lettuce, cheese, beans, rice, etc. I was a little disappointed they didnt offer a white rice. The steak was really good and tasted like a top notch piece of meat. The lettuce was fresh and the beans were okay, but not as tastey and I expected. The sauces were not hot enough and the sour cream was too high for a small amount I received. It was good but not quite worth the price to me.

This is a quaint and tiny restaurant with excellent tacos and other Mexican food favorites. The tacos all came on corn tortillas with a few toppings. You make them yours at the salsa bar by finishing them off. The guac was excellent as was fried rellenos and horchata (perfectly creamy). This restaurant had six tables that I counted, but the food comes fast, and is eaten equally fast, so they open up. The price is almost unbeatable for the food that you get. La Choza is a wonderful splurge that is not expensive.

Just got back from Mexico a week ago and we were craving carne asada fries. Looked up this place and thought we'd give it a shot. At first glance it's definitely hole i the wall type of place. Not super clean, a hole or two in the walls, no music. So if you're looking for Mexican ambiance, this isn't your place. With that being said, anything that lacks in ambiance is made up by the food. We ordered the carne asada fries and chicken fajitas. Both were fantastic if you're looking for authentic, filling Mexican food. The portions are big and the prices are cheap. The staff was literally just one man in the kitchen and a young girl (his family possibly?) and they were quite speedy with the food for only one guy cooking. The young girl doesn't have the peppiest customer service when it comes to the way she talks to you (she's super nice but gets very visibly frustrated if she's not understanding what you're asking for so just try to be clear) but she just wants to get your order correct and will make sure it is! The horchata was great too! I think our total for 2 huge plates of food was 20$, which is pretty great. If you're not in a rush, I'd recommend this place. Seems like a nice family business doing their best to deliver great quality food.

Food was fantastic had the loaded burrito and wife had the chicken tacos on our way up to Estes park. I had to stop by on the way back to Texas and grab the Barbacoa tacos and alpastor wrapped burrito for the road. If they were close to my house I would be here at least twice a month.

This place is awesome they have from horchata too burritos. I love their tacos and they are priced fantastically. Great and super authentic!

Fabulous! I'm a foodie, and this place is great. A neighborhood gem, super food at a super price. In Boulder you'll spend double elsewhere and it will likely not be as good. Flavorful, yummy beef, fresh guac (needs salt), everything was great. We had the steak burrito, guac and chips, and the chicken fajita. Nice people, surprisingly good food, in a north Boulder hole in the wall. A real find!

Not clean, canned beans, ok rice, good salsas, meat needed salt, tripe was dirty...This place could do so much better, shame that they don't care. Ninguna restaurante Mexicano debería tener frijoles de la lata y estar tan sucia. Pónganse atención a tu lugar por lo bien de los clientes.
