Arin Stout
My husband and I were driving through Denver and decided to stop by and eat tacos from this place. So glad we did!! They had amazing tacos and the service was outstanding. They were super welcoming and helpful with all of our questions. “Brazilian limeade” the lady made me was SO GOOD. Churros were fresh and delicious ... 😍 They informed us that their flavors were authentic from Mexico, and the corn tortillas were freshly made. Definitely will come back when we are in Denver again!

Great experience at Nopal! We went early for lunch and it was very quiet and clean, a few other groups inside. Food was quick to arrive, it was very easy to customize toppings, and the staff were incredibly friendly. We got al pastor and barbacoa tacos - both were exceptional. Extra credit goes to the churros, which ... were delicious. We will definitely be back! Read More

Very friendly owners that are proud of their food. Lots of indoor seating and plenty of back patio seating as well. Huge groups could easily meet here. The food was delicious. We each got 3 tacos, which are quite full for tacos. They can come with rice and beans, if wanted. Homemade chips and salsas make it a great ... meal. The avocado salsa was our favorite by far. The al pastor tacos were my favorite. They have Mexican Cokes, agua frescas, homemade horchata, and typical Mexican sodas. I'm a horchata lover and it was really good and creamy, but still light. Homemade churros were exceptional. They're a simple dessert, but they make them just right with a little bit of cream in the center and ice cream to enjoy it with. Crazy good. I would gain serious pounds if I lived closer to this place just because of the churros. Read More

Absolutely loved Taco Block. The staff was so nice, the food was incredibly delicious, and the asada fries deserve a special shoutout — unreal. On top of that, they’re dog-friendly and welcomed our pup on the patio, which is always a huge win. Amazing vibes, amazing food, and a place we’ll 100% be coming back to. 🌮🐶
