Tacos Es Vida / Tacos is life — Restaurant in Woodland Park

Not my favorite. Very salty, cilantro and onions had wilted. There was also a flavor in the seasoning I couldn’t get past so sorry but I’m incredibly confused about the 5 star ratings! Been to many incredible Mexican restaurants and this one certainly does not fit the category. $95 dollars spent of inedible food. The lady at the counter was very nice though!

RESPONSE TO OWNER 6/27/24 I wanted to share my recent dining experience. Unfortunately, after the first bite, I decided not to continue with the meal and chose to discard the food. As a customer, I believe it is important to provide honest feedback about my experience. For you to have called me in the middle of a workday to argue my post is unacceptable and uncalled for!

I understand and appreciate that you prepare your food with care and passion. However, I personally did not enjoy the food. As someone who genuinely loves Mexican cuisine and has visited Mexico over two dozen times, my expectations were quite high, and I felt that the food did not meet them.

Please understand that a review is simply one person’s opinion, and it is natural that not everyone will have the same taste preferences.

I am editing my review as the owner Alex got back to me and he is correct as I would have rated my first 2 visits as a “5”. Thanks Alex I do not wish to get an order on you. You guys work hard and I will just let you know directly if my order isn’t up to the excellent tacos I have had previously. I must say I was very disappointed in my order today. This is the third time I have ordered from tacos is life. The first 2 times, they were awesome, we had el pastor, chicken, and the shrimp tacos, and they were amazing. But today I got my order of shrimp tacos, picked it up at 4:30pm and the shrimp were so chewy, they were sooo over cooked. There were a lot of small shrimp, but I rather have like the previous times less shrimp but bigger size shrimp and cooked perfectly. Was it because it was prior to them closing? Or they are using different shrimp? But it was so overcooked I threw out half my order. I will still give them another shot, just because the other 2 times they were amazingly good. Hope it...

A Hidden Gem for Authentic Mexican Food!

We recently discovered this amazing little family-owned Mexican restaurant, and it’s safe to say we’ve found our new favorite spot. The restaurant may look unassuming from the outside—definitely a "hole in the wall" type of place—but don’t let that fool you! The warmth and hospitality of the staff made us feel welcome from the moment we stepped in.

The food here is nothing short of spectacular. Everything we ordered, from the perfectly seasoned tacos to the crispy, flavorful flautas, and even the Mexican corn, was bursting with authentic flavors. Each dish tasted homemade and packed with fresh ingredients, giving us a true taste of Mexico.

We were so impressed with our first visit that we’ve already been back for seconds! If you’re looking for delicious, authentic Mexican food served by friendly people in a cozy setting, look no further. This place is a hidden gem that deserves to be discovered by all food lovers....
