Taco House — Restaurant in Littleton

Ok. Laugh if you want, but the Littleton Taco House location hasn’t been around for umpteen years because it is no good. I’m telling ya, you will crave it once you’ve tried it. Those who know, know what I’m talking about, right?

The Number Four (the three Cheese Enchilada meal with three Tostadas - Bean, Cheese and Guacamole) rules as the Numero Uno dish on the menu. Comes out from the kitchen piping hot (seriously, third-degree burns if you aren’t careful, so watch the plate and the palate). Melty, gooey and delicious!

The breakfast burritos with green chile are very good as well, as are several other offerings. But, that Number Four gets stuck in my craw and I crave it at least once a week!

The food is not high cuisine in the least, not by any stretch of the imagination - it is, however, a place you will go back to again and again because it just meets a basic need of your soul. Kinda like a ballpark frank or movie theater popcorn - or, Casa Bonita.

The parking lot and the building both need some care, as they are showing serious signs of age. But, overlook it! This hole in the wall dive restaurant is heavenly for its raw, gritty goodness. Could it be better? Yeah, sure. Maybe if more of us ate there, they could afford a facelift!

Once you get to know the owners and servers, you will support them like I do - they are sweet, kind and friendly. Take some time to chat with them - the salt of the earth is refreshing to the soul.

If you don’t have a good experience, it’s because you’re a stuffed shirt, uppity, food snob. Drop the pretenses. Broaden your horizons. Give it a try and your taste buds will thank you, and me. Now, if you will excuse me, I have aroused the craving once more…I’m off...

Ok here is my constructive criticism... I have driven by here several times and thought I would stop in for lunch. Alot of times you can find great food in small establishments such as this one, but I have to say I was disappointed. The food was very basic and lacked flavor (I ordered the taco plate). Things that would normally accompany Mexican food such as salsa and sour cream are an additional charge. It just wasn't what I was hoping for is all. The staff was friendly and seemed to enjoy being there. It was apparent to me while I was there that there are people that like this place and that is wonderful. Running a business can be difficult and a lot of time, effort and love go into it. Put that same time, effort and love in elevating your food. Add the little things to the dish and raise your prices just a bit and eliminate the up charges. I would rather have the price of my item include salsa vs being told I have to pay extra. This is just one person's opinion. I'm not trying to be negative really,...

I will not be eating here ever again. Food was horrible - even if reasonably priced by today's inflation standards - with the high cost of eating out. I took my leftovers to go - but threw the box in the garbage on the way into my apartment building. It wasn't tasty the first time around - so I thought why bother with the leftovers. My server was very nice, friendly, and attentive - but that did not make up for the lack of good food. The cashier was there visiting with another woman - and talking loudly, and excessively about her young children's schooling which I experiencedas annoying. The inside of the ceiling was in need of repair. The staff told me they had been in business over 60 years. Wow. I am not sure how that happened. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone - ever. My favorite Mexican dish can be chili rellanos. That is what I ordered and it was hands down the worst version of that meal I have ever eaten. Sorry to be so blunt. I don't recall leaving such a poor...
