Denver Colorado is the proud home of an ever-growing immigrant population, many of whom immigrated from Mexico. \u00a0The result of this immigration has been a culinary revolution within the city, providing Denver locals with a vast array of authentic Mexican restaurants and food trucks to choose from.<\/p>\n

During my 3+ years living in Colorado, \u00a0I have sampled a large number of these authentic eateries on a quest to find the best Mexican food in Denver. \u00a0After careful thought and consideration, I present to you my personalTop 4 Quick Mexican Eats in Denver.<\/p>\n

#1 Corn Roaster (Food Cart)<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Pay attention corn lovers, because the Corn Roaster is a mobile food cart serving up the best elote in the city of Denver.\u00a0 For those of you who are unfamiliar with this dish, elote is grilled Mexican street corn known for its sweet and spicy flavor.\u00a0 At this wonderful little cart customers have the option to have their elote come on a stick or in a cup.\u00a0 The cart is fitted with a custom flame grill specifically made to grill corn to perfection.\u00a0 Expect a long line when you see this cart, but rest assured it is well worth the wait!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

#2 Barbacoa el Oso (3000 S Federal Blvd, mobile cart)<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It is not often in this world that you find perfection, however, the fine folks at Barbacoa el Oso have come pretty darn close.\u00a0 This restaurant and food truck combo has been satisfying customers with their melt in your mouth barbacoa for years.\u00a0 Do you like options?\u00a0 Well this is not the place for you.\u00a0 At Barbacoa el Oso simplicity is key with your only option being tacos, burrito, or torta.\u00a0 No matter the medium, costumers receive their meal topped with onions and cilantro, with the option of fresh salsas.\u00a0 I would recommend barbacoa el Oso to anyone looking to satisfy a craving for meat.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

#3 Tacos Rapidos (2800 W Evans Ave, and 2345 W Alameda Ave)<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Tried and true, this 24 hour Mexican drive through has been serving Denver locals and over intoxicated college kids for over 10 years.\u00a0 With two convenient locations, Tacos Rapidos is never out of reach.\u00a0 Great prices and large portions are what set this place apart from the rest.\u00a0 Do not be alarmed if both drive through lanes are full, even late into the night. \u00a0Diners at Tacos Rapidos also have a vast array of delicious breakfast options to choose from. \u00a0If you are craving tasty Mexican comfort food, and a lot of it, Tacos Rapidos is the place for you.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

#4 Los Gallitos Taquer\u00eda (2630 W Alameda Ave)<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Los Gallitos, the undisputed king of quick Mexican eats in Denver, is the final restaurant on my list.\u00a0 This drive through\/sit down spot serves up everything from lengua (beef tongue) tacos to oysters on the half shell.\u00a0 Though the menu is vast, and at times intimidating even, you can rest assured that every item will leave you wanting more.\u00a0 A local favorite, Los Gallitos is never without cars in the drive through lane.\u00a0 Here you will find large portions at
\na low price point, making it the perfect grab and go lunch spot.\u00a0 We cannot bring up Los Gallitos without mentioning their mouth watering homemade salsas, which truly put every dish over the top.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
