Taco Veloz

So the second place we visited for tacos, was Taco Veloz located by Regis University.  So, from the outside this place does not look like it is going to draw in many customers that are driving by....but that will be their loss.  This place is the "real deal" when is comes to authentic Mexican street tacos.

I must say that I am a fan of crispy, freshly fried tacos, but, these homemade corn, soft tortillas are something everyone should try.  I ordered two steak tacos and a soft drink. While the tacos were being made, I started talking with the guy working there....I would imagine the manager, and asked him if I could take some pictures...he said "sure" and then wanted to know what they were for. I told him that I write a food blog...and February is "Taco" month.

Pastor (marinated pork).

So when my tacos arrived, there were three on the plate....the manager threw in a Pastor (marinated pork) tacos for me to try.

The steak tacos had red onions, cilantro and sauteed yellow onions. The Pastor taco also had red onions, cilantro and came with small pieces of pineapple.

To go along with the tacos, they have a salsa bar that includes six different types of sauces, along with cucumbers, radishes, carrots, jalapenos and a few other types of peppers and some pico de gallo.

The flavor of these tacos....was just like you expect from a street vendor in Mexico......very authentic and delicious.

The decor inside is that of an older place.....but that really did not matter to me, as I was there for the food.  Along with steak and Pastor, they also offer Chorizo, Barbacoa (barbecue),
Carnitas (pulled pork), Trompa (trunk/snout), Lengua (tongue) and Buche (pork stomach).

Taco Veloz also offers a full menu of Mexican food.....Menudo, Tortas, Chile Rellenos, Burritos...all of the fare you would expect to get in Mexico.


The address is 5145 Federal Blvd, Denver Colorado.

Hours: 9:30 to midnight - Daily
            9:30 to 3:00 AM Friday and Saturday.

Tables and booths

The manager told me that on Friday and Saturday nights....after midnight....there will be a line out the door.....that is just how good the food is.  He also told me how he came to work there.  He grew up in Mexico, and when he came to Denver, he ended up here at Taco Veloz for dinner and had the Menudo.  He said that this was exactly how his mother use to make it at home, and he knew he had to work there.  He has been there ever since.

When you visit Taco Veloz, tell them that Colorado Hidden Treasure's sent you.
