About Taco Bell
Taco Bell is a haven for Mexican delicacies such as tacos, quesadillas, burritos, nachos, and other specialty items. Owned by Yum! Brands, Inc. Taco Bell is one of the fastest growing American chains of fast food restaurants. The restaurant operates from 7,072 different locations which are mostly run by independent franchisees and licensees.
The background story of Taco Bell is interesting and inspiring for budding entrepreneurs. The fast-food brand is the brainchild of Glen Bell, who started his first food venture as a hot dog seller in San Bernardino, California. The year was 1948. After witnessing long queues outside a Mexican restaurant called Mitla Café across the street, Bell saw the opportunity and demand for hard-shelled Tacos. He reverse-engineered the recipe and later started selling Tacos and called the venture Taco-Tia.
Later, the name changed from Taco-Tia to El Taco. Eventually, Glen Bell sold the company to his partner and opened the first Taco Bell in Downey in 1962. By 1964, the restaurant also got its first franchise in Torrance. The 100th Taco Bell restaurant was opened by 1965. PepsiCo acquired Taco Bell from Glen Bell in 1978 and the restaurant brand is currently a subsidiary of Yum! Brands which looks after the restaurant business of PepsiCo.

Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

We tried this place based on previous Yelp reviews. We were not disappointed. It's definitely a little divey, but delicious. We both had tacos (steak and pork) and devoured them. As a newbie to this place, labels for the salsa on the salsa bar would have been helpful. Also, the tables could've been a little cleaner. I'm guessing the slightly dirty table is due to just how quickly people come and go. All in all, we'll definitely come back.

I visited this place about a week ago. If you live near south denver you know that not a lot of good mexican joints are around. This place has a nice set up and my to go servixe was fast. Salsas are tooo good.
(4)Joe T.
Just OK. They microwaved the rice and beans on a styrofoam plate. Tacos al pastor was very bland.
(2)Daviana M.
I love the tacos here. :D They're so full of flavor and come out only with meat, so you can choose if you want anything else on them. I put lots of onions, cilantro, lime, and the green salsa on my tacos. My favorite meat is the regular pork. (:
(4)Tavo R.
I grew up in Mexico City and I can tell you, the only thing that resembles DF in this establishment is the music. The food is horrible, first of all, one shall never put lettuce or "unmelted" cheese on tacos al pastor. The tacos al pastor tasted like chorizo, the place was dirty (tables, floor, salad bar). The salad bar was not well kept, the cilantro was gone by the time I was there, and I stopped before lunch time. Salsas were insipid. The rice was god awful and the refried beans tasted like canned food. I think this is the second worse Mexican food restaurant I've eaten in my life
(1)LaTonia W.
I hate to have to do this to them with all these great reviews but honesty is the best policy. My first taco was great. My second taco had a LOOOONG hair in it. I probably should have just stopped there but I let them make me another taco in exchange for the hairy one. The second taco's meat was super fatty! WTHeck! I barely ate any of that one and left totally disappointed. I thought with all the reviews and being a Los Angeles native...where you can get yummy tacos 24/7...that I had finally found me a true Mexican spot. BUT NO, NO, NO! I don't like that they use 'Mission Taco Shells' either. I wan't real carne asada with authentic taco shells. I will say that the cold bar with all the fresh cut cilantro, onions, etc...was the BOMB dot com. But they only get one star because of the hairy & fatty taco. Darn!!! My search continues...
(1)Keniey S.
Cow brain. I don't eat it but every great Mexican joint needs it. This place isn't much in the way of atmosphere, but what Mexican joint is? Sorry, but this place needs some help. I purchased the Panbazos and it was not worthy of my hands smelling bad. Too much SC and the bread was stale and loaded heavily w/ butter. My 11 year old son got the quesadilla and he even found it to be lack-luster. I'd eat it again if someone bought it for me and I was promised by the owners that it would not make me sick.
(1)Dan S.
Best authentic tacos ever! Asada tacos are my favorite and they go great with the salsa verde. I consider myself a bit of a taco connoisseur and this is where to find the good stuff.
(5)Alan N.
One of the better hole in the wall places I have found in Denver for Mexican food, and it's tiny too, seats maybe 20 people or so. The staff seem friendly, I'm sure they would have been a little more friendly had there not been a language barrier. The food was good though, I got 3 tacos; beef, pork, and chorizo and my wife got the 3 taquito platter. The tacos were very good, and loaded with meat. The taquitos were also good, I had a few bites and my wife said it was one of the better ones she's had. Overall a pretty good place, small menu but you don't need much more at a Mexican restaurant.
(4)Sam K.
There are few times in life that a golden gem goes hidden right beneath your nose - this is one of them! I have driven past this hideaway almost daily for ten years.....and now that I've found it I feel like I've missed out on part of what life is; STREET TACOS!!!! When you walk in your greeted by loud Mexican music from the kitchen and Univision television on the tv- fantastic signs of a great Street taco joint! You will not be disappointed- granted this place is a dirty spoon - it's very delicious Now I had one Asada taco and one barbacoa taco and my total was less than 5$!!!!!! Delicious ! Tacos df you have a new fan!
(4)Jamie R.
Really great tacos here! I ordered an assortment of tacos and enjoyed them all except for the lamb which I didn't care for (and I usually love lamb).
(4)Kimberly A.
Maybe this place is decent if you don't deviate at all from the menu. I've actually had better Mexican food in rural Midwestern towns. I ordered bean tacos and got steak and my boyfriend ordered no lettuce and, you guessed it, got lettuce. This was a carryout order so my level of irritation is higher since now I don't get to eat lunch. Not at all what I expected.
(1)Belinda L.
I ordered the carne asada burrito smothered along with a sope. My bf had their tacos with the burrito. He thought it was a good solid place. But he's from Illinois. He doesn't quite understand my cravings of something familiar to home and that would be SoCal Mexican food. The place was okay. Their salsas were GREAT! Horchata was delicious. It just didn't hit home for me so my search for amazing 5 star Mexican food continues.
(3)David M.
Probably some of the best tacos in town. The meats are very flavorful and the salsa bar had a lot of choices. I would love to see them take more initiative to keep the salsa bar looking clean and fresh but I can say that about any taco bar in town too.
(5)Zakariyah A.
I eat here almost everyday! They have really good tacos. There chicken burritos is great too.
(5)Shannon D.
Mainly take out... Not Tex Mex!! real Mexican. OH my gosh, the quesadilla was served on a home made corn tortilla. It was large, thick and so incredibly tasty. The chicken was seasoned very well, and I really enjoyed the food very much. My gent got Taco's and they were really good as well. The server was very sweet and kind, and made sure that we got what we wanted. We went near closing time and felt bad for being in there later, but she made us feel very welcome. I highly recommend this place for Taco's and once again--THE quesadilla!!! (Again, this is not a Tex Mex-Taco bell-Del Taco quesadilla--THIS is the real deal!!)
(5)Riza H. C.
Yes you ordered at the Counter, pay at the counter and then the staffs will call your order etc etc. From the Menu featured above the Counter Wall, we ordered the following items : * Asada Smothered Burrito ($7.00) * Cabesa Taco ($1.75) * Barbacoa Taco (Lamb) ($2.00) * 2 Tacos Asada @ $1.75 each hence it was ($3.50) * 4 Extra Lechuga Queso @ $0.25 each hence it was ($1.00) * Mexican LARGE Bottled Coke Cola ($2.50) Yes, they have a SALSA Bar, but the Salsa they offer was somewhat lacking and limited. 3 STARS AT BEST. Burrito Smothered, ONLY comes with RICE & Cheese in it. Hubs like it but a little sad coz there is NO BEANS in the Burrito. *Hubs Sad Face* Just OK establishment to have Tacos and Burrito. Nothing stellar, nothing special to write about. This recent visit was on Saturday April 12th 2014. Time was about 19:50hrs ish. I already had Dinner somewhere else, but Hubs has NOT. Since Tacos DF is the nearest to where my last appointment were, to this Tacos DF we went. The server that evening who handled the transaction, and behind the counter at Tacos DF is Maritza. The Dinner with tax was $18.52. Tacos DF 2020 S Parker Road, Unit #N Denver, CO 80231 Tel : (303)-671-2986 @81/2014

Legit Mexican food! I'm from the 505 so in disappointed more often then not with the chile here in the 303. Not today! The asada tacos are Delilah!!
(4)Vince B.
The bad reviews for this place are so gringo, Kenny G should be played in the background. The place is mellow, clean, offers a good selection of meats, and most importantly makes awesome, awesome food. What else you need to know?
(5)Joe Y.
DTF $2 Barbacoa (lamb) tacos and Cabeza (cow head) was tender with good portion. Al Pastor was crunchy and fresh but did not come with the usual pineapples. The lettuce and cheese is a $.25 extra charge which I don't really care for anyways. The price is a bit more than other small taco joints but the service was fast with plenty of seating. Next I will try me some home made chichaaron Gordita. Menu is pretty extensive with posole, menudo, Pambazos, Tortas, and Tamales. The salsa bar was lacking but the tacos were definitely street worthy.
(4)Kristen W.
Great Tacos...best in the area I think. I adore street tacos and this place delivers (great tacos). The salsa bar is a nice addition to the place as I love to doctor my tacos and try all the flavors! The choices were abundant and tasty. The gal at the counter was a little annoyed to be working that day but she couldn't spoil a great lunch! Worth a shot when you are not close to Federal's abundant taco shops!
(4)James K.
Best Taco places I've been too. If you guys like tacos or Mexican food in general, go to Tacos DF.
(5)Amy F.
Heaven bliss are two words that come to mind when describing this place. I love you Yelp. Wanted tacos. Somehow been craving since earlier today. I suggested this place whereas my husband suggested Rusty's Tacos. Glad I won out. Small place but cozy. I ordered the taco platter with cow head, only because I felt adventurous and others have suggested to try. My husband also got the platter but with steak. I fell in love with the cow head. So after we finished our platters, I had no choice but to order 5 more single tacos. This time I tried the cow tongue, 2 cow heads, and 2 steak. Yummm! Highly highly recommend.
(5)Keith B.
Holy fucking tacos! If you can't tell, I'm not Mexican. Nor am I a food authority. What I wanted: cheap-ass, good tacos. What my brother suggested: here. I was happy with them. Chorizo. Al pastor (ordered with lettuce and cheese). Barbacoa. All three were exactly what I wanted for lunch. It doesn't try to make itself out to be something else, and it was only recommended for tacos. We hit it at about noon, got served quickly, and quickly watched the lunch line grow (and a lot of togo orders get picked up...).
(4)Chris R.
So far, the best we've found! My wife & I are fairly new in town and stopped in to try a taco. They were excellent and we're back the next day to try more. My wife had more tacos & I had a quesadilla. This is authentic stuff! None of that fast food junk. We will be regulars!
(5)Dan K.
Just walked into Tacos DF for lunch and waited for 2-3 minutes at the counter while the lady working at the counter filled her cooler with drinks. Then as I started to order, a Mexican gentleman walked in front of me and almost pushed my girlfriend out of the way. He proceeded to order something, and the lady took his order instead of mine. I walked out before I could even try the food here. I felt like because I wasn't Mexican, I was cut and served second. This was very disappointing and disheartening. I wouldn't eat their food if they treat their customers this way.
(1)Danielle G.
Meh! So disappointing! Not hard to find the place but it is buried in a strip mall. I get it they were once a taco truck and made it into a restaurant but would it kill them to clean up a little? I came in on a Saturday around 2:30pm ordered my 4 carne asada tacos which were decent. I could tell the meat had been previously cooked and was kind of greasy but I'll be honest I like greasy tacos from time to time. I suppose I'll have to come back and try it again but hoping to find less food on the tables and floor. Also props to them for having Mexican Pepsi. Love that stuff!
(3)Mariko A.
I had nearly every kind of protein for my tacos. I thought it was absolutely delicious. The horchata was good, the three salsas were good, and I love that I can add my massive amounts of fresh onion, cilantro, and lime. I would definitely go back. Only four stars? I wish that the staff was friendlier to non-spanish speaking customers.

Date(s) visited: about 2 times. Food: 4/5 Service: 5/5 Atmosphere: 3/5 Price: 3/5 Parking: 5/5 "THIS HOLE-IN-THE-WALL WAS RATED BEST IN DENVER IN 2008" Food: What I order as my "usual" when first walking into an unfamiliar Mexican joint to keep things basic is a Chicken Burrito. Their burrito came to me as a humongous sized meal that was nicely put together with all the fixings. The good thing about the food here is that the tortillas are homemade and the meat is marinated beforehand. I'd say the burrito was tasty and that the chicken was cut into small cubes instead of being shredded (the waitress also made sure to "filler up"!) It was smothered with a green chili sauce and the top of the burrito was decorated with cheese and drawn in a squiggly line (upon opening my box first thing I thought was, "Wow...Kyut!" :) I did like the fact that there was a little bar where you could help yourself to the different salsas, limes, and jalapenos to compliment your meal. *The one thing I did not like was biting into the end of the burrito and only tasting rice which means the chicken was not spread out the way it should have been (not to be so "anal" about it but, EVERY bite should be an experience if you ask me!). Service: The woman who served me was very hospitable and provided good service. I did start to kind of "wonder" about the food after she continued to say A NUMBER of times, "It's really good...the food here is really good...!" (and I'm thinking...well, of COURSE you are going to say the food is "really good" since you work here but, let ME be the judge of that! :-) Other than that, she was helpful and explained to me a little bit about the history of the restaurant and how it had been around for seven years to date. Atmosphere: I am somewhat of a "clean freak" and not to say that this place was DIRTY but, it could've have used a little bit more cleaning in the back (I noticed food all over different areas of the floor, in the kitchen, and also the appliances could have been wiped down some). In the front of the cashier area, I noticed also that the white walls had black smudges all of over them. I was a little put off yet still wanting to give this place a chance as I a took a bite of my very first plate there. There were a few interesting looking paintings surrounding the restaurant which gives customers something to look at while waiting for their food. Price: I paid $6 for a Chicken Burrito yet, I know I've paid LESS at other hole-in-the-wall places (around $3 to give a rough estimate). Tamales range about $1.50 each whereas I do know of places that charge about a buck. Parking: Parking is free and is located right in front of the restaurant within the shopping complex. MY THOUGHTS? I would still give my hats off to this place for its humble beginnings and how the owner started off as a food truck (quite impressive!). You can read more about the history of this place in a news article posted in front of the restaurant. Other than that...I can't say I wouldn't come BACK yet, because I am somewhat on a Mexican foodie mission, this place would not be a repeat anytime soon. RECOMMENDATIONS: Try the Chicken Burrito I guess?

Delicious, authentic tacos, generous portions of meat, at a very reasonable price. If you want real Mexican tacos, this is great place to eat. We tried the al pastor, lengua, and chorizo, and we were very pleased.

Sometimes I hesitate to give out five stars because I'm afraid that my favorite hole-in-the-wall restaurants will become way too popular. But Tacos DF is fully deserving of five stars, and, yes, you should definitely check it out. I've been here a few times for lunch recently. Each weekday features a different kind of taco on sale for a dollar and a tortada on sale for three dollars. Otherwise, I think tacos and tortadas are $1.75 and $5.99 respectively. Four tacos is plenty lunch for me. With a big cup of water, lunch is less than five bucks. It's hard to beat that anywhere. You can watch your food being prepared on the surface grill behind the counter. The meat sizzles on the grill and then its chopped up and slid into warm tortillas. (Don't you dare ask for lettuce or cheese... this is a Mexican restaurant, not an American restaurant.) Once you get your tacos, head to the topping bar and check out the awesome salsas. I like the least chunky salsa--it's really spicy! Tacos DF offers excellent Mexican food at a very reasonable price. Go here! (But only go once because I don't want it to become too popular!)

Completely delicious tacos. Salas are too hot for me, so I only have the onion, cilantro, and lime!

I wanted to like this place, but, enh. The person taking the order had no clue what was on the menu, ok, I can get past that. But then once I got home to tear into some delicious street tacos I discover they covered two of the tacos in cheese and lettuce (not what I ordered and its a street taco, not tex-mex), but, hey, maybe it'll be delicious anyway... The carne asada was pretty good, not too fatty, great seasoning, overall pretty good. The green salsa from the taco bar was WAY too week to have on these tacos though. Two bites into the second taco I come to bone, not a little silver, but a 1 inch by 1/2 inch chunk... Ok, I figure maybe it was just a fluke, bite three delivers a smaller sliver. Ok I figure, bad butchering on that one, but same deal in the barbacoa which is supposedly made from lamb instead of pork. Lets just say I decided to take a night off from eating and am still in the search for a legit street taco venue.

Great Mexico City style food. This place is fantastic and cheap! I've had various tacos and tortas and have never been disappointed (although if your not careful they will throw some lettuce on your tacos). Also they have a little salsa bar with a variety salsas and toppings....warning most of the salsas have some solid heat. This place is a 'hole in the wall' so if you need a fancy atmosphere with your $5 taco plate you will be dissappointed. I wouldn't change anything about this place other than the cleanliness which stands room for improvement.

I love these tacos, but that's not saying much. Yes, I am a taco neophyte, unless you count the numerous Taco Bell's I've stuffed down my gullet. Today, I wanted to find a way to combine both a healthy activity with eating. Living near the Tech Center makes it easy to hop on a bike path for a nice ride. Combining Yelp with Google maps found a nice target: Tacos DF is only 4+ miles from my place. Of course, I went too far on the Highline Canal path extending the ride to about 6 1/2 miles. Tacos DF is in a non-descript strip mall along Parker Road. It is a small shop, with a open window separating the kitchen from the small dining room. Looking at the other patrons, today must have been Menudo day... Looking over the menu I found two choices: Lengua (cow tongue) and Asado. Having grown up eating tongue, I thought I'd try it Mexican style. The tongue had its requisite sweetness, plus a little salsa from the bar had me thinking of my mom in a whole new light... Not on rye with Pastrami, but grilled, with cheese, lettuce and a little green. The asado was a nice accompaniment. Be aware they cook to order, so it will take 5-10 minutes for your order. Tacos DF is a winner!

I absolutely love the cabeza (which I call "cow face" as a term of endearment) and lengua tacos from DF. These are the best I have been able to find so far in the area and I keep coming back. Also, their service is great. As an example, we ordered some food once right before the power mysteriously went out in the strip mall. Rather than turning us away, they put everything together the best they could without power (the grill was still hot, after all) and then gave us directions on how to microwave our smoothered dishes to melt the cheese as the final touch.

Tacos platter was awesome. We also got the chicken quesadilla on there fresh tortilla. We don't live close but would go back.

First off, there were a bunch of Latinos in there as I walked in, which is always a good sign. I decided to try the lengua, asada, al pastor tacos. Unfortunately, they don't have horchata. :( The tacos took a while as mentioned, but were fantastic. The lengua and asada being my favorite. I didn't really like the pork in the al pastor as much due to what felt to me to be a bit of over-fattiness. Overall, some of my favorite tacos I've had in town though at a reasonable price.
