Oct 7, 2025, 5:18 PM | Updated: Oct 8, 2025, 2:30 pm

Tuesday is National Taco Day. It used to be celebrated every year on October 4, but they changed it to “the first Tuesday in October,” so that it’s always a “Taco Tuesday!”

With the Hispanic heritage in Denver, the taco scene is great, but who has the best?

I turn to Yelp! for help answering the question as the website’s rankings are based on actual customer reviews. So here they are:

10. Taco Uprising

9. Guadalajara Mexican Restaurant

8. El Taco Veloz

7. McDevitt Taco Supply

6. Venalonzo’s

5. La Calle Taqueria Y Carnitas

4. Tacos Selene

3. Chubby Unicorn Cantina

2. Kiké’s Red Tacos

1.Taco El Pueblita
