Taco Uprising — Restaurant in Denver

This may be the best food (overall) that I’ve ever had in Colorado so far, and the BEST tacos by a landslide. Whoever is making the food at this place is surpassing any and every other good taco spot I’ve ever tried. The steak and chicken tacos were so perfectly cooked, flavorful and juicy - not doused in hot sauce or something spicy to cover up the flavors of real food made well… This is the work of a true chef and/or someone who has many layers of knowledge on how to marinade and season Mexican food to bring out the most vibrant and delicious flavors. Nothing is greasy, the meat isn’t rubbery or overcooked or skimpy portions. Everything is just the right portion (slightly larger than street tacos, so you don’t have to order 4 to feel full and get your money’s worth, 1-2 tacos with chips and queso or guac is plenty to feel happy with). Everything was incredibly fresh as well, including everything in the tacos, salsa, guacamole, tortillas. I would eat these tacos every day if I could.

It’s a bit of a small space, but exceptionally clean. Like… spotless, in the kitchen and in the dining areas and restrooms. Service was great. Not too loud, like most places that are blasting music - which was much more pleasant to the nervous system. Always appreciate low volume, chill environment to feel relaxed. This place is a...

Ordered takeout and got a fried chicken, pescado, and mexicano

The fried chicken was pretty mediocre, the chicken itself being underseasoned, overcooked, and dry. The toppings definitely overpowered the chicken. Would not recommend.

The pescado was amazing, very spicy, absolute burst of flavor in the first bite (and the other bites too). The avocado balances out the acidity nicely, fish cooked beautifully, great taco. So good, i forgot to take a photo before i scarfed down the whole things. Highly recommend.

Mexicano is just okay. Beef was overcooked, hard, and charred in some spots and poorly trimmed in others. Avocado salsa was really acidic overpowering everything. Griddled cheese just gets lost in the whole mix with such a neutral cheese. Also would not recommend.

Green salsa tasted like some cheap gross apple sauce texture canned product.

Overall not great on the food side of things but i would come back to slam a couple more fish tacos sometime. If only the others...

Absolutely thrilled to share my experience at Taco Up Rising! From the moment I walked in, the vibe was just infectious – fresh and fun interior that immediately make you feel right at home and a warmth that extends beyond just the decor. The staff? Phenomenal! They were not just friendly but genuinely great at making sure everyone felt welcomed and taken care of.

Now, let’s taco ‘bout the food because it deserves its own spotlight. Every bite was a little piece of heaven, packed with flavors that dance on your taste buds in the most delightful way. It’s clear they use fresh ingredients, and the love put into preparing each dish shines through. Whether you're a taco aficionado or just looking for a tasty bite, this place will not disappoint.

Taco Up Rising isn’t just a restaurant; it’s a pleasure of an experience – one that’s filled with joy, amazing service, and of course, mouth-wateringly delicious TACOS 🌮 Can’t recommend it enough. If you haven’t been, you’re seriously...
