Jesus Mexican Taqueria — Restaurant in Aurora

Friendly service and great food at this little family owned Mexican restaurant. I had the enchiladas and they were DELICIOUS! Really reasonable prices as well; can't lose

UPDATE: Not a good bet anymore. The prices went up, the portion size went down. So we didn't go there for about two years. Tonight we decided to give them another chance. We're exhausted, so we placed the order online and just went to pick it up after paying with a credit card. Turns out they didn't get the order; somebody apparently hijacked their website (some time ago!) and we would have paid twice for our dinner. Although it seems like they should address this issue--for sure!--the problem is that the staffer at the restaurant then copped a huge attitude and spoke to my husband as if he were stupid (for going to their website and ordering takeout.) We didn't expect free food, but they could at least be nice and possibly sympathetic about it as opposed to snotty. They might also address this problem to prevent these issues.

No more chances for Jesus...

I love little hole in the wall places. As someone who loves to cook, and eat, I feel the little, family owned places generally bring the most passion to their food. Their restaurant is their livelihood. We were excited to try this restaurant. I typically don't leave poor reviews. But, this was the worst Mexican food I've ever had. I'm not sure if its because it were towards the end of the night. Or, maybe it was just an off night for the kitchen. Either way, I paid for my food. But, I won't be going back. My thoughts on the food are below.

Green chili tasted as though it was the premade frozen chili bought at King Soopers. Barbacoa had a very odd, gamey flavor. When my wife sent back her barbacoa burrito for a ground beef one, she was given a burrito filled with a very obviously reheated burger that had been chopped up. Salsa tasted as though the tomatoes were not quite ripe. Gritty, and a little slimy. My chili relleno was completely bland. The rice was salty, and the dehydrated peas were...

Had a great meal here. The meat was all fantastic, my steak was not chewy and perfectly spiced. My mother said that her shrimp that she received where fantastic, maybe even the best she had in a while.

They had a very nice menu including soft shell tacos with corn tortillas.

I would suggest that you look at their menu online before you go there so you have google translate on hand. Most of the menu is translated, however there are some things that are sort of hard to understand such as the choices of meats which are not translated.

The staff were kind and willing to help us better understand our menu. They were also willing to remove an ingredient from my burrito due to the fact that I have a sensitivity to cilantro, and they did this without charge.

Great restaurant. I would highly recommend, and I will be...
