“ This restaurant has been a favorite of my family's for decades. It's personally my favorite Mexican food. I love their cheese enchiladas, chili con quesos, tacos, tostadas, salsa, rice and beans. The staff is super friendly and you always get great service. ”
“ I'm a world of everything being expensive you can still find an affordable meal at Taco House. Combos under 10. Good salsa, the Chile Verde is decent but it's more like a soup than a usual thicker Chile Verde, and the smothered Burritos sure good ”
“ Awesome historic Mexican place in Denver area. We visited the Lakewood location November 2024 and the taste took me right back to 1979, when as a kid, I ate at the Littleton location of Taco House! So glad the family continues to operate and carry on the Taco House tradition to this day! Even though I live in Tennessee now, I'll be back every time I visit Colorado! ”
“ I know I may be biased because I’ve been coming here for 39 years but this is my favorite restaurant of all time,I moved to Oklahoma 8 years ago and crave it everyday. I love everything here and all of the staff,my family knows the owners and we have felt like family with all of them for many many years. Their service is top notch and the staff is the friendliest people in the world. The enchiladas with extra onions,an order of tacos and a beef and bean burrito smothered delux is my go to but I also love the burrada and the soft tacos too. Can’t wait to see you all again soon. Love all you people there keeping it just like it’s always been! ”
“ Loved this place, my whole life. The food is cheap but always consistent. The service has always been friendly, fast, and exceptional. It's a dive, has been for decades. However, it does have a certain quality to it. I moved away from Lakewood decades ago but still will drive there just for their food. ”
