    Tacos Tequila Whiskey, pinche failed in Phoenix, and is now failing Denver... This is not something I enjoy saying, as I have loved this place for so many years. I’ll be the first to admit, COVID killed many restaurants, and even brought great ones to their knee’s, but the crowds are back most places, but you’ll notice the crowds aren’t back here… The quantity here has just suffered, and the last few times I’ve been, it’s just not the same… I recently tried another restaurant, Fish-n-Beer, also owned by KTM Restaurant Group, LLC, (The company that owns Tacos Tequila Whiskey.) I got wildly sick from some muscles I ate there earlier that night. They refused ownership of the cause of my food poisoning, and happily took my $170.00 even after privately letting them know in an email the next day. Needless to say, with my recent battle with food poisoning at Fish-n-Beer, I wasn’t ready to give up on one of my favorite taco shops in Denver, just yet… Well, I am now! They served me completely raw on the inside coconut shrimp today. I wasn’t about to risk another night like my recent. I myself am a former restaurant worker, both front and back of house. I feel for everyone that works in a restaurant, as it’s very hard work. When the classiest of the classy, Red Lobster trained me to serve tables, they told me if I see a mean with one bite taken, or appealingly untouched, they taught me to ask the patron what they thought of their meal. The bartender just took the shrimp with the one bite taken out of it, and a napkin stuffed with what I wasn’t brave enough to eat. Tossed it right in a bus tub without a question. Not once was I asked how my food was, and I paid the full price for my meal. I hate to say goodbye to what was once such an amazing place to eat… but it’s time. Goodbye Pinche. Best of luck filling those seats again. I hope you can turn it around. Regards, Joel,

    First timer at TTW and ordered the al pastor and pork belly tacos. Atmosphere was hip and fun, maybe a bit forced though. They serve beers in glasses that look like pints but are def smaller, maybe a 12 oz pour, so kinda deceiving. Pastor was decent but pork belly is worth skipping as was more rubbery than succulent. Have heard good things abt their other tacos though, feeling unsure abt a return visit.

    I flew in town and the place I wanted to eat was closed permanently. I did a search and found Tacos Tequila Whiskey and decided to try. I want to first say, the service is great from the moment you walk in to the very end. The tacos are amazing and full of flavor. I come from a small to medium city and nothing compares. It is definitely a must try.

    I’m usually on the fence with fusion tacos but I thought this place did them really well. Every taco was delicious and stuffed; they do not skimp out on them. The fish was perfectly battered and fried, the shrimp taco was well-seasoned, and the special tacos were gochujang beef tacos when I went recently; the sauce was great and meat was incredibly tender. Fried chicken agave taco was good; just not the most impressive taco for the night. Great service and atmosphere; highly recommend and would return

    This restaurant has a wide variety of tacos and other Mexican entrees to choose from. I suggest mixing and matching a few different tacos and ordering one of their craft cocktails to wash it down. Each one of their tacos is carefully crafted with a unique blend of toppings, textures, flavors, and artful presentation. The service was also fantastic. I went on a very busy day with a large group and our appetizer was never brought out to our table. However, the staff eventually brought it to us mid-meal, took the appetizer off our check, and threw in free desserts for everyone at the end. I really enjoyed my overall dining experience on their outdoor patio and I’m already looking forward to returning with friends in the future.

    I have to say, this is probably the most bland Mexican food I have had in Denver. My friend and I went this past Sunday, not too busy. We got a couple of tacos and apps, they were seriously lacking in flavor, I mean every single taco we got was bland and flavorless. The service and atmosphere was fine, but how can you call yourself a Tacos Tequila Whiskey and your tacos are very subpar in flavor. Also for the price of a single taco $5+, one would think that the food would taste good.

    The tacos here are legit the best in the city without a doubt. The fish n beer, asada and the spicy tuna are the shining stars in my book! Mad love for this chill spot serving up incredible flavor! They double stack the tortillas which quickly transforms one very full taco into two medium size tacos and it's absolute perfection. Please pardon the partially consumed taco on my plate in the photo. I could not wait to dive in!!

    My husband and I came last Thursday for lunch for our anniversary and everything was amazing. We love coming here because the food, drinks, atmosphere and service is always great. Amanda was our server and she was super attentive and friendly! Also I highly recommend the barbacoa and carnitas tacos!

    What a fun find thanks to other Google reviews! This little tacoria has loads of flavor! Each taco is unique and layered up with yummyness! The chips and quac was also super tasty. The star of the show was the agave friend chicken taco tho! Which was barely a favorite over the beer battered fried fish taco...and the grilled cheese taco with grace and green salsa...they were all so very tasty. We ended dinner with warm Churros. 😋

    Food is fine, service is great. My gripe is with ownership. They post on their website a big story about how minimum wage in Denver is “X” and the average rent is “Y” and they need to have quality staff (which they do) to keep the restaurant going so that’s why they charge a 5% “kitchen love” fee to customers… That’s fine I’m happy to pay for good service but I just wish they would pay the staff more than minimum wage if they actually care about them and want top service talent. Instead, they put that responsibility on the customers and make it out to be like something they’ve done something for their employees which they haven’t… also they post rules on the host table as if whoever walks in has already broken them which is annoying to me too. Ok I’m done=] be better

    The tacos and cheese dip was delicious. My favorite was the shrimp tacos. I can't wait until I get a chance to revisit.

  • 5/5 Chirelle P. 2 years ago on Google
    WOW!!!! 10/10 recommend!!! I was so impressed with this restaurant! Happy hour drinks are $2 off. Chips & salsa comes with 3 different salsas. Tomatillo sauce was my favorite. Tacos are small, they recommend 2-4 per person. Queso taco & the Carnitas taco were our favorite! Churros were good, more deep fried, airy than dough. Not much to them. Drinks were the best around! Wish I was local, I would go here on the daily!!

    This place just lends to good times. How can you go wrong with great service, hand crafted drinks, and great food? I really enjoyed the Did We Stutter, taco of the week. It was Korean bbq and it was delicious!!

    Food was absolutely delicious! They offered a vegan taco that was really amazing. The chicken chicharrones were the one thing on the menu that made me choose this restaurant (because there are a lot of Mexican options around) and they did not disappoint. The drinks we great and strong! The prices were a bit high but food and drink quality was worth it. Highly recommend!

    Stopped here as our last place to eat in Denver. The food was delicious. We even caught happy hour. The chicken sliders were so good that we ordered a couple to go. That crispy carnitas taco was one of the best tacos I've ever tasted. Treat yourself!

    First time trying this place - great spot but tiny and limited parking. Waitress was very friendly and attentive, gave good suggestions and an honest opinion when asking if something was spicy. Everything was great, tacos are stuffed full and a little hard to eat without making a mess; tis tacos lol. Our favorite were the shrimp taco special and the chicken taco. The fish taco was a little underwhelming and overall a bit mushy texture. Tots were delicious, but can't go wrong there. Someone next to us ordered chips and queso, looked like a must for next visit!! 👍

    I wish I had received the name of the bartenders that helped us this afternoon. We went in to celebrate my recent raise, we sat at the bar and received excellent service. We ordered a few drinks from happy hour, some chips salsa and tacos and some of the pinche sodas. Also, the tequila recommendations were spot on. I've been wanting to try a new reposado in the bartender recommended one that was just right for me. All in all, it was a wonderful afternoon and I'm so glad we chose this place to celebrate my recent accomplishments. Thank you to the cooks, bartenders and servers who made our afternoon perfect! We will definitely be back.
