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.

What a great little gem tucked away. The hubs and I saw this while dining at another restaurant and within a week were sitting at one of their three tables. The chips and salsa are delicious, particularly the salsa. It was fresh and spicy with a touch of cumin. Our waitress/cook re-filled our bowl three times. I got the chili relleno plate and the hubs got the chicken enchiladas. We both noticed that the food tasted good but wasn't super salty as so much restaurant food can be. The beans and rice were good, not the very best I've ever had, but tasty. The chili rellenos were classic egg battered and then covered with green chili. There wasn't as much cheese as I would have liked (not that my waist line needed it) but the flavor was good. I Overall, it was a solid meal experience with a super sweet lady serving up tasty food.

First and foremost, check the times there or call ahead to see if they're open because even tough yelp said it was closed this place was actually open ... Anyways, this place has the best fish tacos I've ever had in Denver -- very similar to the fish tacos I've had in Los Angeles. 100% legit & authentic! Simple, well seasoned fish with delicious toppings that didn't over power the fish (they use tilapia) and serve large portions (5 tacos for 8.99). Each taco has a real good amount of fish (lots of it), tomatoes, onions, cilantro, guac that all tastes so fresh. I love this place -- I'd definitely come back again!

Although the owner is super sweet I really think this place could have been better. After looking at the reviews i would have thought the food would have been awesome but it wasn't. The best part was the homemade tortillas.

Absolutely some of the best carne asada tacos I have had in a long time. Felt like I was in my grandmas kitchen.

Great fresh food, awesome and friendly cook! Place is very humble so don't expect a five star ambience, but if food quality is what you care about most then this is the place to go!

This place really lives up to the name. The owner treats everyone like family, has food in front of you before you can blink, and is generally a swell guy. The food is really good quality, very reasonably priced as well. I got the enchilada plate, thoroughly enjoyed it. The owner let me try some of the green sauce after offering me the option of a mix. Within seconds, a green sauce sample was in front of me, and after trying it I liked it. Really, there's nothing I could find wrong with the whole establishment.

I like this place, very good service and natural fruit waters, I really like that right when we walked in they asked us if we wanted to sit downtown even thought they were very busy, even the cooked made us welcome. Food is just ok, typical Mexican-AMERICAN

I had a morning meeting at the vintage theater next door to plan an event, and the woman who manages the bookings at the theater recommended La Familia. I was glad I stopped for a breakfast burrito. It's a tiny restaurant shoehorned into a space between the theater and the other shops on the block, with room for just several tables, a counter with a large glass serving container of fresh-made horchata and a tray of utensils and napkins. Behind the counter, Maria runs the joint and has cooked up the food alone for "about two years." She got us a bowl of chips with salsa, then horchatas before cooking up my chorizo and egg burrito, which came smothered with lots of lettuce and tasty, not-too-spicy green chile (which didn't have a lot, if any chunks of pork but tasted great). The chorizo was in chunks as if it was grilled as a flat patty then cut up -- it wasn't the typical ground chorizo style. It was mixed with eggs and the balance of flavors was fantastic. When we left, she insisted on giving us a huge second bag of chips (not homemade but good) and filled up our horchatas to go. I'll be back to try Taqueria La Familia for lunch and dinner, for sure.

I'm new to Denver from New Mexico. I've been searching for a great place to get Mexican food. And here it is. Legit.

I think this place has gone through a few name changes, but currently it is called Taqueria La Familia. I had the steak tacos. The tacos are served Mexican Street style: open face, with pico de gallo, avocado, and limes. They have other meat selections for the tacos too. They also serve other Mexican entrees, Mexican Coke, and horchata. Prices are good and service is friendly - check them out.

Was looking for vegaterian green chili for my wife and found this place. We've driven by it 100 times. It was really good! We were both super happy that we found it and will be back soon! It was also refreshing to find staff that seemed to truly appreciate your business :-)

Such a friendly place with great food for very little money. The place is tiny and nothing to look at so make sure you sit outside. My husband had a smothered burrito and was super happy with it and I had shrimp tostadas which simply had an incredible amount of fresh shrimp on a tostada with lime and very light seasoning and avocado. My plate was big enough for 2 people and I loved its freshness. The tostada was a bit greasy but I used the free chips to scoop the shrimp instead which made it perfect

Went to this place today for the first time (we live in the 'hood). Fantastic! Took three folks from Mexico for breakfast and they were very impressed. I'm a vegetarian--and it's rare to find a Mexican restaurant that will also cook vegetarian. My friends loved the Chorizo breakfast--and I had a veggie burrito that was great. They make everything from scratch and the kitchen is open and visible. 16 seats inside and 4 outside. Lots of charm and personality. Go!!!!

The best Mexican food in town. It's very authentic and delicious. The owner Freddie us friendly and very attentive. You won't regret coming to this wonderful place.

This place was AMAZING! We were up in this area just trying to waste time while our phones were getting fixed (at wireless image, check my reviews for that awesome place). We looked at another restaurant across the street which was actually closed, so we came to Taqueria la Familia because they had "vegetarian" right there on the window. Background: I'm a vegetarian. Also background: I freaking love mexican food but have the hardest time finding anything decent on most menus for vegetarians. One bean burrito on an entire menu is super limiting and frankly pretty boring. CUE TAQUERIA LA FAMILIA. We sat outside, and our waiter (I am assuming he's the owner) put down chips and salsa, and then put down chili and, get this, actually asked if we ate meat. WHAT. You rock. I tell him no and he brings out another one that's identical without meat. Delicious. I ask what on the menu is vegetarian. He tells me the veggie tacos, or they can just make anything that I want and make it vegetarian, "we could do some enchiladas with cheese smothered in chili without any meat. Oh, do you eat cheese? How about sour cream?" This guy is easily one of the best, if not THE best waiter I have ever had. Incredibly attentive and sensitive to my preferences. Food rocked, we both devoured our meals. Will definitely be back if I get a chance. Oh and best of all, $19 bucks for the two of us. Yessssss.

This family-run, out-of-the-way spot makes you feel like you've wandered into a small Mexican village, even while you're dining in the heart of the Highlands. This Taqueria offers a very authentic feel, from both the food and the staff. Service: The staff are friendly and very responsive. The waiter who served us provided good suggestions about the menu, and was very careful to identify the kinds of food available for vegetarians ("Our green chile is vegetarian...but do you eat cheese? Can we put eggs on your plate?"). He was very kind about my dietary choices, which is not my experience at other Mexican restaurants. He quickly translated our orders to the cook in the "kitchen," which is pretty much in the same location as the dining area (the whole restaurant is the size of a postage stamp). Our food, needless to say, came out quickly and was piping hot. The food: delicious. My boyfriend got the chimichanga plate, which was HUGE, and immediately wolfed down the whole meal. I had the veggie tacos (enough food for two days), and was delighted by the balance of flavors--not too spicy, not bland, not greasy. Just right. The veggie green chile was good, but didn't have the anglicized sweet-saltiness that I'm used to. My boyfriend raved about it, however. The price: probably the best deal in the Highlands. Meals were about $7-10. Chips were free. I recommend tipping well--the staff deserve it. This place is fun for a relaxed date or for taking out your non-snooty friends for delicious food. Although it offers some of the best Mexican food in town, this restaurant's decor is decidedly rundown, so be prepared. A good place to take people if you want to establish "authentic Mexican food connoisseur" credibility.

Cheap and really good food! Tasty options from beef stew to pork tacos. Delicious, freshly made dishes. And they have Mexican coke. It's a little, family-owned, hole-in-the-wall jewel.

Gangster. Big ass bucket of home made horchata. Two aunties cooking food and only 3 tables

I just moved to this neighborhood yesterday and this was the first spot I checked out. I have a feeling this will be my regular Mexican go to spot. The asada tacos were amazing and each bite tender. No chewy chunks here. I spoke with the owner Freddie through my whole meal and he is just a really great guy with a very positive outlook. I highly recommend this to anyone. I will be back soon!
(5)Jacob L.
Amazing.. Can't stress enough how amazing this place is. Dog friendly, vegetarian selection is through the roof. The family that owns this place are incredibly nice and hospitable they go out of their way to make you feel at home. Can't recommend this place enough!

I got locked out of my house pretty early and found Maria opening up shop. She made me a pot of coffee and helped me practice my Spanish while I waited for a locksmith. This place is the real deal. I can't wait to go back for one of their $4 smothered burritos.
