Tacos Jalpa - Mexican restaurant in Aurora - 11417 E Colfax Ave, USA

I've been to this restaurant a couple of times but this last visit was worth noting, first of all the restaurant and environment are inviting very clean from front to back. The service that we got eating in the restaurant was exemplary and extremely polite, our food came up very quick but before our entree showed up we were treated with some of the best and spiciest homemade salsa I've had in the metro area. The entrees were great we go the birria tacos and carnitas and both of them were fabulous, full of flavor spice and just enough heat. If you're looking for a no-frill stop to get a quick lunch or a delicious dinner to take home I can absolutely recommend this is your first option.

The place is very clean and welcoming. The staff immediately helped me get a table and got me a bowl of delicious salsa and chips. I ordered the chicken floutas and and steak dinner. So crispy and delicious and the steak came with beans and rice. This place is bomb yo.

I remember coming to this place often, and enjoyed their tacos very much, but over the years it went down in food quality, and service. Recently went back to have some tacos and hope they would be back to their best, but unfortunetly it's only gotten worse, I order 8 tacos and 2 drinks, the cashier told me the total was $38, this did not make sense as their tacos are about $2.25 each and drinks $3.50 when I told the cashier about the mistake she got a bit upset and took about 5 min to be able to figure out her mistake! This is ridiculous service and based on recent reviews it would seem as they often over charge their customers on purpose! Do not recommend this place at all sad to see what it has become.

I love the steak burrito smothered! A friend shared this place with me and now I’ve brought three others here! Really good good 😊

Great service and outstanding food! I decided to try a burrito today. My main issue is that I'm on low carb keto diet so I opted for a burrito with out the rice, beans, or tortilla. They sever was quite accommodating and was able to get me a burrito plate smothered in green chili, steak, lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream, and extra cheese. It was amazing! Perfectly seasoned and well prepared. The sever also gave me a sample of there Xtra hot habanero salsa to top it off and wow that lot a fire in my face ! It soo hot and hurt soo good if you like spicy definitely ask for a side of that salsa. This place is a hidden gem. Give them a try you won't be disappointed

I have always proudly recommended this place and it really has been my go to. However, the last time I ate here I was disappointed in the service. As my fiancé and I sat down, we ordered our drinks and food I also asked for chips and salsa and the waitress told me that they didn’t have any. I said okay and went on about my food. About 5 minutes later, we saw a gentleman that just got seated get chips and salsa…? After we were told they didn’t have any? Our waitress never even came to let us know that they didn’t have any at the time or that it was going to take a few minutes to make some or even that we would have to pay for a side of them? I would have been okay with either of those but instead we were lied to right to our face and honestly if felt like we were being discriminated against. The sad part is that we were also Hispanic so I don’t understand why we got such awful treatment. Will not be coming back to this place or even recommend it to anyone else. I’m all about supporting my own culture but definitely not with this kind of service and experience.

Fast,friendly big portions and great food.

Love this place. I eat here a lot. They have a large variety of meats, including tongue, not many places have that. Portions are large enough to fill you up. Everything I've tried (just about everything) has been great. Big selection of drinks, just no alcohol. 🤨 No margaritas with your tacos. The decor is pretty cool. Just keep in mind it's a small business so limited seating and parking. And usually only one waitress but they are never really that busy to worry about it.
