El Taco de Mexico has served Mexican fare at 714 Santa Fe Drive since 1985.

Although food tourists have begun to show up and weekend lines have been long since the award was announced on February 18, the customer base that has kept El Taco going since 1985 remains loyal. Smothered burritos, tacos and tortas are a familiar lunch to many Denver residents, but here's a look inside in case you've never been — and if you haven't, what are you waiting for?
