  Stopped by for lunch when arriving in Denver.  Started with superb chips and salsa.  Had the smothered steak burrito which was excellent.  Also ordered the limeade which came freshly squeezed in a very large glass - excellent.  Small place with great mexican food and not expensive.  Doesn't get much better.

  A huge fan. Just moved out from San Diego where we are gluttons for our Cali-Mexican food. So I wasn't expecting too much when I decided to try Mexican food here in Aurora. This place was a small, friendly establishment off of Peoria with limited parking. You are greeted with free tortilla chips and salsa (the salsa had a fresh kick) and a menu to order.
  
  My dad got the basic Bean and Cheese burrito and I had the Fish and Al Pastor tacos with a side serving of guacomole. Delicious. The tacos were flavorful and my dad's burrito was good as well, and it was a humane portion size rather than the humongo giant of a burrito we are use to back in SD. The prices were cheap, the food was fresh ( i saw a guy running back and forth to the kitchen from outside with fresh veggies), and the service was amiable.
  
  Coming back again very soon!

  Great place for lunch. I've been coming here for almost a decade!,I must tell you why I enjoy this place;  is simple and fresh, Complimentary chips, their Melon smothiees... My girlfriend and I have made this our real deal. She enjoy's their Sunday "Menudo"... and something we can both agree on is their "Smothered Steak Burrito"  definitely  a 5 star.
  Authentic Mexican Food.

  I keep meaning to eat here more often, as I drive by it every day on my way to work.  I've been here a couple of times but often wind up going to other places for Mexican food that are closer to campus.  But today I decided "I gotta have some tacos", and the sign outside advertises four al pastor tacos, my favorite, for $4.  Done and done.  They were outstanding.  The soft corn tortillas were great, and they held everything together very well, which is saying something because there was a lot more meat than you would expect for a dollar.  The meat was nicely marinated and well cooked.  The tacos came with onions, cilantro, and a bit of guacamole inside as well, which was unusual, but I enjoyed it.  I got the pico de gallo from the salsa bar and a couple of lime wedges and I was good to go.  I'd go three stars for the burritos here, which are ok but not great, and five stars for the tacos.  I guess I should know to get the food that the place is named for, right?  I will make it a point to come here more regularly and get my taco fix.

  I am a fan of tacos El Chino. I have been coming here for a year now as a regular almost every Friday to get my taco craving under control. I love the fact that I live 5 minutes away.  GET THE TACOS AL PASTOR. Well seasoned and perfectly prepared tender marinated pork and pineapple on double corn tortillas. I get about 7 with all the fresh salsas and lime I can handle. Call in for takeout and 10 minutes later you are in taco heaven. They run a close second to tacos y salsa which has a good Carne asada taco, but El chino has my vote!

  I was on the hunt for tortas on Peoria when I happened upon Tortas Y Tacos El Chino.  Located at the northeast corner of Peoria and Del Mar Circle, you'll find this tiny, bright shop with plenty of parking.
  
  The menu is primarily in Spanish, but English is provided, which is fantastic because my Spanish is really, really rusty.  I ordered a ham torta to go, which was severed up a few short minutes later.
  
  Yum-o!  Jalapeños, onions, tomatoes, avacados, and lettuce spiced this torta up.  Really quite delicious!  And for less than $5?  You can't go wrong!
  
  I know there are other tortas locales in the Del Mar circle area (which I need to try as well!), but I'm glad to know that happenstance brought me here because I will certainly be returning!
