July 1st 2025. Amazing food. The $2 tacos for taco Tuesday were amazing. We even offer a chorizo taco. very authentic food and friendly staff. The guacamole was very tasty. Please enjoy my photos as we destroyed This entrée. Will definitely be back!

The staff was so sweet and nice! Mexican food down south is a culturally a little different but this food was still great. Margarita is a definite must!!

This is the "real deal" Fantastic food, large portions, and friendly staff. Oh yeah, don't forget to try one if the margaritas- they Re Amazing! We will drfinately be back next time we are in town.

The tacos and salsas are some of the best I've had anywhere. Fondue is made with Mexican cheese and delish. Everything we tried was authentic, the meats were flavorful, juicy and tender. Its a good place to bring friends. On my second trip my daughter had traditional enchiladas, which I didn't like the sauce for those, but the other types might be better.

This place gave me food poisoning on 01/24/24. I ate there with my husband and kept having to use the bathroom shortly after leaving all throughout the night. I think it was maybe the beef taco. That's the only thing I had that my husband didnt. This morning, I vomited. I'm back to feeling 100%. Only getting food poisoning once on my honeymoon trip is OK I guess. It's fine. The staff was really nice. I just wouldn't eat here again because I don't want to get food poisoning twice.

This place is legit from the atmosphere, people to the food. The hospitality was beyond and I made some new friends. Rebequita will be back for another "small margarita" 😅💚🤩

We’ve been to a lot of spots in Denver but this is our favorite place. Brought our newborn for his first day out. Great food. Great service. Great drinks. Family atmosphere and don’t sleep on the Margs! Felipe and Christina are amazing and they keep us coming back. Will be back again soon. Cheers/Salud.

Best Green Chile in Denver!! Service is good to great, and the ambience is family friendly. I've never had a bad meal here in the 20 + years I've been coming here. This place is a Denver Gem!!

This place is bomb. I live coming here. Great food and nice staff. If I could change one thing... it's a little difficult to park sometimes, but it's a small price to pay for the awesome food!

Went down the street to Los Carbonicitos last night, so much better than Tacos Jalisco. Don't waste your time here when they charge you for chips... a joke of its former self.

I have fond memories of Tacos Jalisco from years ago. We stopped in again recently and it did not disappoint. This place has great food. I've never ordered anything that wasn't wonderful. We dropped in early in the afternoon on a weekday and there was no wait for a table. We didn't realize that they are open for breakfast and will definitely need to do that sometime. They charge for chips & salsa here, which seems odd compared to a lot of other local Mexican restaurants. But, that was perfect for us. Who wants to fill up on chips when the food is so good here? With the construction next door, parking is a little challenging. But, if there aren't spots in the lot, there is street parking nearby.

We are down the street, and always make time for this place when we need some really, really good queso. That might be breakfast or lunch. Great sized portion, fantastic taste, and get some of the house salsa with it. You will be led to one side or the other, and they are fully divided. Alan was our server last time, and he did a great job at handling not only tables but to go orders coming through the door. The margaritas are monstrous and potent, but be aware they are $16. They have a decent selection of popular beers, and even sometimes carry an IPA. Both breakfast and lunch are solid, and I got the breakfast burrito last time, smothered with bacon (deluxe version per the menu). I wish they had a big bar area, but we always enjoy our experience regardless. The rest of the menu is all good, but the queso is off the hook. I give it a 4 because of very little things and how the things I have tried on the rest of the menu weren't mind-blowing for me, but it is a strong 4. Definitely recommend and see you there.

I have driven by here oh so many times. I finally stopped in. Despite the construction nearby making parking challenging at a labyrinthian level, my experience was good. They were not that busy and service was good. There was nothing unusual about what I ordered. But, my tacos were quite tasty and well-prepared. Try the carnitas. I will be back (and soon).

I asked for Strawberry on the rocks margarita...$17.50?!?! WTF. So much for taco Tuesday. Don't show prices on menu for alcohol. Shame on them.

I've been wanting to try Tacos Jalisco ever since Chris Parente said he went here with his hubby I think last Cinco de Mayo lol. We decided to order takeout this cinco and enjoy a meal at home with the baby instead of fighting the madness with an infant. My husband concurred it was a zoo in there for the holiday so I'm glad we chose to relax instead. The food was good; I got a marinated pork and it was very flavorful. There were some fatty chunks but I gave those to the cat lol My hubby enjoyed his combination plate. The chips and salsa were also very good. Love when a place has good salsa. Would come back for sure

We've dined in and have done takeout - both times the fish and shrimp tacos were on point. Why the 2 stars? No drink prices on the drink menu and immediately I thought it was shady. We ordered 3 house margaritas (regular) thinking it would be normal non HH price right? Nope! Got the bill and it was $15.50 each. Are you kidding?? Sure they come in a large glass but it was 80 percent ice! I even mentioned to my fiancé that the margarita could use more tequila! There was absolutely nothing special about this drink for them to justify the price. Service was slow- the waitress who came over to take our order took a while, food took a while to come out. All in all, don't order the margaritas or at least confirm the price. I think it's shady they don't list any prices on the menu so they can charge however much they want. I also tried to use the Yelp check in offer but they refused. Word of advice- if you don't accept Yelp offer then remove it so it's not an option. Otherwise, honor it.

Our favorite Mexican restaurant in town! Sauces are the best, and they now how to bring the spice!

Haven't been in many years. Decor has moved much more upscale; very warm and inviting. Breakfast burrito was bigger than I could finish, but made for a great second meal the next day. The green, pork chili will not take the top of your head off, but is flavorful with a distinct chili finish. Also enjoyed the crispy chili rellenos plate. A very reasonably sized meal for my smaller wife. I will return for other breakfast items I spotted in the menu. The staff is outstanding; I really can't recommend this spot more. Go soon they weren't as packed as they deserve.

The food is delicious! A large variety on the menus along with great tasting margaritas. Christina's customer service was excellent and very personable. you feel at home. I would recommend Tacos Jalisco to my family and friends.

Finally! We were the only people in the restaurant and it was perfect. Margaritas are expensive! But tasty! We would come her so much but the service has been so horrible we don't have the time or the patience. Being the only people in the restaurant makes the difference! Amazing when we are alone! Please be the same the next time we come earlier!

The Mexican hamburger had no flavor , the chili Delano was bite size , didn't see no chili in it , husband was happy with his theee smothered tacos , but basically it was smothered burrito , not empresses with any of it, will not be going back.

Worst service. Took us almost 45 minutes to even put in our food order. Not to mention 20 minutes to put in our drink order. The food is not great. The drinks are lackluster. They don't put the prices of the drinks on the menu. The service is not good either. Maybe they are under staffed like everyone else.

This WAS my favorite Mexican in Denver for 19 years but the last time I was there, I was BEYOND DISAPPOINTED. Haven't been back nor will I ever go again. Food was awful.

Not 5, but ten stars. If you're not here... you're sleeping and please don't wake up. I can't find the words to say, due to my breath being taken away by the immaculate flavor of this food and salsa... come and enjoy a coconut margarita... but never forget to celebrate SELENA and this fabulous service you'll receive

We checked in on Yelp and got a $5.00 off coupon to use when we paid our tab. Restaurant wouldn't honor it saying that they had called YELP to discontinue it. Promptly seated, waitress was friendly and attentive until we ordered. After that we never saw her again until we had been done eating for 15 mins. Never came by to check how our food was, refill our water or ask if we wanted another drink. Chips and salsa are not complimentary. We ordered chips and salsa and guacamole and got one basket of chips for all of it. Never were checked on to see if we could use more chips. Food itself was fine. Nice flavor, big portions but the lack of customer service and they weren't busy at all, maybe one or two other tables besides us, will keep us from coming back. Oh and the house margarita is around 24 ozs and it's $15.50. A bit steep I think.

Delicious and consistent. The menu is pretty extensive overall but I go for the pork carnitas; they are my favorite. The margarita menu is great - lots to choose from and large. Definitely a neighborhood go to for Mexican food, whether dining in or getting take out.

Pesimo lugar, pésimos empleados te pasan por un costado y no te atienden están más pendiente de sus celulares que del cliente, aparte groseros

Having heard NOTHING but rave reviews about Jalisco's, I finally tried it with my fool-proof determiner: Chile rellenos. MAJOR disappointment! Beans, O.K. Rice, usual. Rellenos? Both soft & crispy were ALL cheese & egg, leaving the Chile behind as a maybe there. Never again.

This place has some of the worst Horchata I have ever tasted, It was beyond bitter/old and has no cinnamon at all. I ordered some enchiladas only find out they were just as bad as the horchata. I literally didn't eat any of the food I ordered and the waitress just tried to brush it off like it was my fault for their food tasting the way it does.. I will never come here again..it was the customer service overall that lost my business 0 Stars..

I can't believe the bad reviews, this is my favorite restaurant in our neighborhood and my favorite Mexican restaurant in Denver period. I take all of my friends here and everyone loves it. From the chips and salsa (so flavorful) to the giant margaritas (warning the to go ones are actually ginormous)!to the actual food, it's awesome! I always get the vegetarian chiminanga because you wouldn't believe how hard it is to find a veggie chimi in Denver. It's huge and so yummy. The food is always fresh and full of flavors. I don't eat meat so can't vouch for that, but they have enough veggie options to satisfy me. My vegetarian friend usually gets the cheese enchilada and loves it. My meat eater friend is a fan of the chicken fajitas. Love you Tacos J!

Tonight was a friend get together. So excited to see each other again and always enjoy Tacos Jalisco! Started off with cocktails and chips and salsa. The salsa is so fresh and very spicy which we all enjoyed! The drinks are a bit pricy but with 2 cocktails, my meal (steak n shrimp Fajitas) and a take home meal of a seafood enchilada plate it came to $56. My meal came sizzling hot with a good amount of steak and shrimp, enough I took half home with the rice and beans. One of our friends found a hair in her shrimp which the waitress replaced with a fresh plate. I thought they should have comped the meal but they didn't. Overall a great meal though and the servers were attentive. The live entertainment didn't start before we left but they had lively music playing. We were asked what type of tequila we wanted and I recommend the 1892 chilled,smooth as silk!

Had some food delivered from Uber eats, fired up my oven because I live downtown and assumed I would need to re heat. The food was wrapped perfectly, and even though it took the driver 15 minutes to deliver, it was warm enough to eat. I ordered a carne asada torta, and it was perfect. A ton of extra jalapeños and the portion was very large. It put a smile on my face because it's not often I get a torta that tastes just like my mom used to make. The chips are delicious and homemade, the salsa was very fresh. They even threw in some other salsas that were spicy but very good. Also got a taco and tostada, this is a legit authentic mexican food place.

The helpings are large and the coffee is delicious! The staff is very friendly and service is fast. The dining room and restrooms are always clean. The owner takes pride in her place and it shows!

This is my third review and Tacos Jalisco deserves even more. Our waitress Sandy R. is always on point. I just wish we could have her everytime we go there. My wife and I tried the Chicharrones based on a friend's recommendation and so glad we did. They are meaty and crispy at the same time. They are served with guacamole, tortillas (corn or flour), lime and pico de gallo. The pico adds spice, guac cuts the grease and lime adds the citrus blast. I went with the burrito sampler but love the Al pastor pork with pineapple so much that I got all three Al pastor. It is a huge portion so I had a full burrito for leftovers. The green chile is amazing and I would eat that just on its own.

Absolutely the BEST mexican food that I've had at a mexican restaurant. I ordered the chicken fajitas platter. So delicious!

The chips and salsa WILL cost you $5. Not free, but they offer it like it is. If you want 2 soft tacos, careful, they only 'do' 2 taco's if they are HARD taco's. I told him I wanted 2 soft tacos, so I had to ended up spending more much more than what was necessary and on the chips and salso. Alot of BAIT and SWITCH at this restaurant. BEWARE. Too many surprises for me. And I eat out a lot. Yelp considers me a valued reviewer for a reason.

Great spot! We ordered to-go and the food was awesome. The to-go margaritas were a little expensive, but they tasted great!

This used to be one of my favorite places. What usually was a $15 dollar lunch turned into $27. Chips and salsa were $5. Gordita was advertised at $7 but I was charged $9. The lunch margarita had been $5 for quite some time but was now $9. I even asked if they still had that special... Bummer because I really liked this place.

Food is pretty good but I wish they would put a price on the drink menu, didn't know I was paying 15$ for a house margarita

They had no physical menu and the mobile menu had no prices with lousy descriptions. I finally just ordered 2 tacos a side of beans. The food was awful and cold! Service was non existent and to top it off it was $70 for 2 people to eat a horrible meal! NEVER AGAIN!!! Taco Bell would have been better in a parking lot! And a lot cheaper!!

Meh.. we got the soft tacos - corn tortillas, shrimp taco, chicken and steak and side of rice. Tacos were okay... not the best thing in the world but also not bad. The side of rice on the other hand, it was bad there was something wrong with it. Like it was super old. Glad that I tried it but don't think we'll be coming back.

This spot seemed legit. The service is kinda crap unfortunately. You come to eat tacos and beers with a restaurant that overlooks the value of service and can't make an easy dinner idea a bad experience. Boo! I recommend go anywhere within a block of this place and give a better restaurant your money.

On Friday May 19th myself and three grandchildren went to this restaurant. It was raining and chilly that day. I pictured the inside and how it would be cozy with some chips and salsa. This was about 4pm. From the moment we walked in the greeter/waitress was nothing but rude. The fans were on high in the front area so I asked to be seated in the second area. That room had its a/c on high. I politely asked if we could move to the one table by the front. She gave a nod and walked off. So we carried our water with us and moved. We had already been there for at least twenty minutes. Between freezing and being ignored all we ever got was water. She did spend a lot of time on the phone. By the time we walked out she seemed to not really care. We never did get chips drinks or a menu.

I don't write a lot of reviews, but this was a disappointment. I've eatin here for years and decided to hit this place up for their Tacos El Carbon I love. Come to find out those great tacos are gone along with the service. The meat was bland. Since the menu changed from my last visit I confirmed with the waiter that I was ordering tacos with guacamole. Well my 4 tacos came with spoon full of guacamole about the size of a quarter and increased my plate from 10 to 13 dollars. Expensive lil dab of guacamole and 15 dollars for a house margarita full of ice. I questioned these items with the waiter who did not care and simply replied with " I don't know I'm just a waiter". I used to love this place and I will not return. Huge disappointment and don't recommend. Get some killer tacos at Taco Rico on wads next to the Safeway, way better food and service!

Wow you'd think with all these 1-2 star reviews they'd do something to clean up their act and not go under! Service, Pricilla the waitress and John the manager suck, as per previous reviews. Why is it that every non-vegetarian thinks tacos need to be stuffed with either tofu, jackfruit or zucchini? Beans, rice, cilantro, onion, cabbage, tomato and hot sauce do just fine! Lack of meat does not mean you need another "protein". But my main issue is with the staff's attitude re: dietary restrictions. I ordered their "traditional tacos" for my picky vegetarian nephew, which literally just includes the above minus rice and beans. Basically "toppings" as they kept saying. Over the phone the woman kept asking if I wanted their veggie tacos, which comes with a vegetable melody--potato, zucchini, etc. I said no, no, no. I want this: your "traditional tacos" as listed, plus please include a side of beans and rice. I arrived to pick up the food and I KNEW I needed to check the order--of course I was right. She ordered their "veggie taco" instead of the "traditional taco". I tried to explain to her that my nephew wouldn't eat it--he liked lettuce, cabbage, tomato, so on, but was weird about cooked veggies (he's 5). She finally brought a manager over and he also gave me a hard time when I asked they remake it!! They claimed that the traditional tacos weren't on the menu, but they are--see screenshot. LIARS. I acted cool in the restaurant because I didn't want to start a scene but I was livid. How hard is it to understand: I want your base 'slaw' of lettuce, cilantro, tomato, onion, and a side of beans and rice. They charged me the same price as a "specialty taco". What the hell? The manager claimed he "couldn't do anything about it". My boyfriend and I also ordered 2 spicy margaritas to go, and when I got the bill each was $17.50. When I asked the waitress why it was so expensive she said all to go cocktails are 32 ounces/serve two...which is fine. But I specifically said over the phone we wanted margs for TWO, not four. So instead of explaining how large the containers were/one would be enough, she charged us for two 32 ounce containers and tried to low key hope we didn't notice we were being charged an extra $18. Rip off!!!! ALL the reviews that complain about the service at this place are RIGHT on. I just moved a block away and was looking forward to a yummy local taco place but this is NOT the spot. Overpriced. No concept of altering a menu to fit dietary restrictions. Staff lies about what is listed online. The staff also appears to be dumb even when you've explained things half a dozen times. A very "we're right, you're wrong" attitude/no interest in understanding what's going on. Major attitude. Literally go anywhere else on the block--Javier's, Tres Chiles, El Chingon, Mas Kaos...just don't waste your time or money here! Amazed this place survived Covid but I hope they fold if this is how they treat the community.

Came in for lunch and was greeted right away. Friendly service even though the place was practically dead, my waitress took a while to come around. They do have green chili although I personally found it to be too bland. I also a house margarita which tasted like well tequila and triple sec for $17.50. Not worth it at all and they don't put the drink prices on the menu. I will be going elsewhere for authentic Mexican food next time!

The basket of chips was small. The 4 choices of salsa were good. Best Al Pastor tacos in a while with grilled onions and pineapple and generous guacamole The coupon for Yelp: the bill has to be over 35$ to redeem the first visit coupon of 5$. Overall it was a great atmosphere and delicious tacos. Service was good. Try it. You'll be glad you did.

Fantastic afternoon sipping the classic margarita and having lunch. Server recommended the Carne Asada tacos and the Esquites Salad (with Carne Asada). My wife and I got one of each and enjoyed every morsel. The salad was a generous helping with mounds of meat. Service was great and outdoor seating / atmosphere super nice. We will definitely return.

While the food here was delicious and the service was good, I must echo another Yelper's sentiment -- the pricing here is SHADY! I actually didn't even notice until I came back home from my trip and read another Yelper's review about their pricing on their tacos. On their menu, it said they served their tacos by two or four. For their shrimp and fish tacos they priced it at $11.25 for which I can only assumed it was for four tacos and their carnitas tacos at $9.75 for four. On my receipt, they charged me $6.25 for two tacos of the fish, $6.25 for two of the shrimps and $6.25 for two of the carnitas. You do the math. It doesn't add up. Basically, I'm being charged $3.13 per taco. It goes beyond just tacos. For the guacamole and chips, their menu listed the price at $6.75 but I was charged $9.50 for it! While I don't mind paying for delicious food at a premium, I don't like finding out that you list your price one way on the menu but charge your customer more when they're settling their bill! NOT COOL! Yelpers, now you know. If you're on a budget or watching your spending, avoid this restaurant as I'm sure there are other fantastic Mexican restaurants in the area that won't deceive you. You've been warned.

North Denver This family owned establishment has been in the neighborhood for years- This was my morning retreat after those party like a Rock Star weekends - Homemade menudo and a Corona to cure the worst hangovers - lol Don't get me wrong I have tried several delicious items off this menu- So good chips/salsa and good breakfast food - I usually don't drink the margs here they can be pricey- Good service as usual and $5.00 bucks off Yelp Check in coupon - hell yeah !!

Sat down at 1:30, wasn't even acknowledged for over 20 minutes though one server walked by us a half dozen times and the place wasn't that busy. Finally ordered about 1:55 but didn't see drinks for another 10 minutes. (Seems there was some confusion about whose table ours was so neither server on our side of the restaurant claimed us.) The chips we ordered were slightly stale. The plates we ordered were mediocre, pork was in some sort of bland red sauce, not crisp at all. We used to like this place, especially their salsas, but even these didn't seem fresh. We won't be back, Taco Bell would have been better and a LOT cheaper.

I recently moved to the area, and went to Tacos Jalisco, and the service was by far the worst I've ever had at a restaurant. I was seated on the patio, by Priscilla who was really unbecoming, rude, and seemed bothered by my arrival at the restaurant. I placed an order for chips and dips, and a margarita. The chips and dip arrived, and then she asked, "you ready to order, or not?" I replied with an order, and then waited. 25-30 minutes later she brings out the food, and failed to even bring the drink I ordered. I asked her about the drink, and she replied with a pretty heavy attitude, "someone should have told you we are making margaritas, and you have to wait!" The restaurant was very slow at the time of my outing, so I was surprised. So I asked for the food to go, and didn't eat the chips, or salsa. Priscilla then wrapped up the food, and slammed the check down on the table in an aggressive manner. I asked to speak to a manager, and she said that it wasn't possible. Sorry. So I asked her to write down her name, and the other server who was supposed to inform me about the wait on service. I called back the next day, and Priscilla answered the phone, and I asked to speak to a manager. She put me on hold for 20+ minutes, and then hung up on me. I went into the restaurant yesterday, and tried to get a resolution, and Priscilla once again comes to the door and says, "I remember you, and your complaint, what do you want?" I asked for the managers information, and she begrudgingly gave it to me. The manager John called me personally and apologized for the service, and said they weren't offering refunds, as I had no interest in coming back to the restaurant. I said that's fine, I understand businesses are trying to stay alive, but with Priscilla's service; it's going to make it tough. So John said he left a gift card for the price of the order and the food would be replaced at my convenience. Then to top it off : I walk in today to pick up the gift card, and no one greets me at all. Five minutes later Priscilla walks up with cash in hand, and I expressed I was here for a gift card, and she said, "no here is your money back, and we don't ever want to see you here again!" I've never received such terrible service, or resolution at a restaurant. I WOULD STRAY AWAY FROM THIS ONE: Head down Tennyson and hit up tres Chiles, or to 32nd and go to El Camino. You'll regret this place, and if you do go, make sure to not get Priscilla as your waitress.

Oh my gosh! What a find. And only tried because of my fellow Yelpers. From beginning to end everything was perfect. The margaritas were great, the food amazing, very clean and got sat at a table really fast, the server was so friendly. And bonus! When I did my check in on Yelp I received a surprise five dollars off for being my first visit. Loved the salsas and guacamole they brought with the chips. Will definitely be back. My husband even said "I want to come back already and I haven't even left".

I don't know why they always take forever for Togo food. I just don't get it. Employees are always on their phone aswell. Might be the reason as to why!

Tacos Jalisco is a hidden gem of Denver's taco scene! I have spent a lot of time in Mexico so I am a bit of a stickler when it comes to tacos, and these are the most authentic I've found in Denver so far (especially on the north side!). The service is super friendly! It's one of those comfy restaurants that is perfect after a long day of skiing or hiking and you just want to sit around and relax. Another nice feature is you get a free chips and salsa flight! The only downside to Tacos Jalisco is they can get super busy and run out of their speciality items. Today they were out of Pozole, so get there early on a weekend night!

Nice little restaurant. Very clean & food was good. But I was sticker shocked at the $15.00 bar Marguerita! Let the buyer beware!

mediocre.... no chips and salsa @ 46$... missing ingredients... expensive... dunno about dine in but the food was mad bland and helly cheap ingredients... disappointing
