El Taco Veloz — Restaurant in Westminster

Thankfully, my fellow Yelpsters pulled through with a solid late night eats recommendation, as we were waiting out a storm on Mt Evans far later than planned & we came down HUNGRY. We were prepared for a line, the order process & salsa bar, again, thanks to the Yelposphere.

We walked in shortly after 10pm to about a dozen people in line & the sound of Spanglish being spoken. My husband looked panicked briefly & said he was overwhelmed, before asking me to order for him - ha. We went in planning to get taco plates, but I changed it up since we were famished. We ordered 2 plates: carne asada & al pastor, churros & I also added a glass bottle coke and horchata - because, ya know ... we needed them.

The line moved fast & orders were up pretty quickly as well. The table was sticky but I was too busy sucking down my horchata to care. Suddenly our food was up, tho they forgot the churros, but, so did I until we were heading to the truck & we were plenty full. I didn't go back to point it out.

We tried 5 of the offerings from the salsa bar - all were pretty solid. The tortillas were the perfect amount for the food on the plate. I thought both of our meats were a bit heavily salted, tho tender and easily balanced with the cilanto, onion & pepper mix. I scooped my beans and avocado with the chips, polished off the rice & meat - but skipped the lettuce & tomato.

I'm thrilled we didn't stop at a drive thru & would definitely...

My friend and I dropped in to check it out. You have to order your meal at the counter and ask for a soda. Man was friendly, soda was warm. You pick your own spot to sit down and they bring out your food when it's ready. My friend ordered fajitas and I ordered carna asada. The plates looked exactly the same when they came out. ALOT of chopped up meat and no real way to tell which was which. The beans and rice that came with it were good but you literally only get a scoop of each. The plates are small so our food kept falling into the table. The portion size of meat was good but nothing special. For two people, it was 48 dollars!! Now for 50 dollars there are no wait staff your on your own. No waiters bus boys no ice water no ice. I think next time we're going to try the taco place next door and compare. For 50 dollars I'd rather go to Old Chicago pizza and get to large pizzas a couple of beers or free refill fountain drinks and interact with a friendly wait staff. It's a really odd menu not like most Mexican restaurants. But please try it yourself and give your own review. We won't be going back, but hopefully things will improve for...

I went to their previous location once or twice unless it was here and just seems like new place with renovations, came to nearby business and noticed this new location, said have been here 1 year already. It seems the location is fairly new or perhaps it's not quite complete with kitchen details. Not sure, however the cashier believe is the owner was courteous it's order and pay at the register.

Being such a nice restaurant I'm assuming they would eventually become full service restaurant. For now however they'll bring you your food, they have a salsa bar where you can help yourself to limes, napkins, salsa, guacamole, cucumbers and variety of condiments.

The tacos smelled great, I ordered 2 Al pastor and 2 barbacoa. Think they got cold quick due to salsa I put on them , the salsa bar is refrigerated after all. However they still tasted great, the barbacoa just needed a tad of salt like is usually the case with any steamed meats.

I would suggest you stop by, definately a nice venue and unique, location is quite large and menu is also quite diverse with many types of dishes; I just wanted a quick bite so...
