Tacos Selene

This place was such a pleasant surprise! On our trip we stopped by Tacos Selene since it was located super close to our Airbnb and everything here was super solid!

I loved the chicarrones tacos and the steak tacos. The horchatas were delicious as well! My favorite thing was the sauce bar, they've got so many delicious sauces that you can grab yourself as well as all the necessities for the tacos.

Food was SO GOOD!!!! I had a veggie burrito and first off, only $7?! It was super good and very filling. Great with their variety of salsas to try as well, which were all so bomb. Along with the limes being JUICY ASF!!! My friend LOVED her tacos as well, and we also ordered an Horchata which was also very good- little strong on the cinnamon but who cares. Ate every last bite. The service was great and the server even brought out extra tortillas for my friend super quickly. Oh yeah-- FREE garage parking too! This place is so fricking cute too. All of the artwork is so cute & the neon sign really adds to the vibe :) Two TVs, good music, AMAZING eats, and super clean overall! Really great and definitely will be back!

Solid, inexpensive spot in the Santa Fe art district.
Street parking, with tasty and predictable bites.
Be sure to get the salsa bar and if you're feeling a sweet treat they have icecream too.

Tacos Selene delivers high quality food at a reasonable price, in fast order and in convenient locations. This Tacos Selene is similar to the others, just roomer. The Tacos are absolutely the BOMB! The salsa bar -- a perfect accompaniment to any meal you choose. No frills, no fuss, just good food. Friendly people.

The hubs and I wanted to give this a try for a little while so put it at the top of the list the next time we were in the area.

I went with the barbacoa sope and got two. They were decent sized but not too big. The shell was a little crispier than I've had and I prefer a slightly softer sope. But the meat was seasoned really well and the salsa bar had some awesome salsas.

My husband got street tacos / barbacoa, asada and carnitas. They again were the perfect size and fit the ticket.

Service was fast and friendly. The other patrons were construction workers which is a really good sign of the food.

Major bummer. Lots of people told us the food was good. This is the closest tacos in Littleton to home. Tasted terrible. Pretty disappointing.

I was very excited to try Tacos Selene as I have seen it in several lists for best tacos in Denver and has been recommended many times.

I think it just got over hyped... I am always okay with Americanized Mexican food but if you are claiming to be a full on Mexican restaurant, then the expectation is very high.

Anyways,

Service:
It's counter service and everyone that helped me pun was very nice.

Ambiance:
Very low key. There's a salsa bar which is well stocked and has delicious salsas. Specifically, the green one. Other than that, it is a very casual restaurant. The focus here is obviously on the food.

Food:
Honestly, meh. Maybe it's on me as I didn't try the tacos and got some sopes instead. I tried the pastor, carne asada, and pulled pork. They were all okay - nothing amazing and with so many new options out there, I feel like there's better places.

I will give it another try to actually try the tacos and we will see.

I attend school like 5 minutes walking distance from here and it's definitely my go to place when I don't pack lunch. It's cheap (coming from a college student) and very filling. They are so kind and super fast. The salsa table is always so clean and easy to grab from. Their horchata and hibiscus water is absolutely delicious and flavorful, not too sugary which I LOVE AND SO Refreshing! My go to order is the sopes bc they're healthy but the tacos and burritos are so classic and yummy! I will say they did raise their sopes from like $3 to $4 and their tacos from like $2 each to about 3or4 dollars (not too sure) in the span of like 2 months but still cheap considering an order of tacos anywhere else in downtown is like $20 for some wild reason. Overall super good I love this place

So glad that Tacos Selene is in my neighborhood. Breakfast burritos, tacos, tortas, everything here is great. It's affordable. Salsa bar with the best salsas! Love those pickled onions with habaneros. And of course the gals working are always friendly. Would rather eat there than the other 2 spots on Santa Fe.

Ordered the sausage egg and cheese burrito. Fast and hot and the tortilla is amazing. However, the sausage is like cut up links... not like crumbled breakfast sausage. Hot sauces were on point.
