Outside of the Zocolo in Mexico D.F., you couldn't pick a better place for a taco stand.....Denver Colorado, Colfax Ave, across from the Bluebird Theater and just down the street from the Gothic 
Theater. Ya, we're talking serious tidal surges of young hippies, geeky yuppies, stupid jocks, mega dorks and trying-to-hard hipsters all night long coming and going from one show to the next. Pre-show, post-show, stumbling down to the corner to catch the last RTD bus, Mezcal has come to the rescue. Not exactly a "true" taco stand, but one that puts out a mean pastor and backs it up with a kick-ass bar.........all this while providing an atmosphere for watching a few pink tacos as well. Great tacos, great beer and tequila selection in a great location - I would say it's "genius", but really, it's just common sense.

The tacos. Well I ordered the "Al Pastor" and "cha-ching", I hit the jackpot. Slow-simmered bad-assness with some crazy sweet sauce, cabbage and lime. Topped off with a Bohemia "Clasica".........I know, I know, what the hell is that? Well, it's my favorita cerveza Mexicana - but I've never even HEARD of the "Clasica" version. Hmmmmm, like Negra Modelo but mas mejor. Saw it that time and have never seen it again......but oh, the tacos.....
The review:
Flavor-ito: 4.6/5.0 (crazy sweet - good puerco)
Atmophere-ito 3.8/5.0 (loud, too many yuppies)
Precio 3.2/5.0 (a little pricey - but they need to pay the rent in this high $$$ area)
Tort Factor 4.5/5.0 (perfect steamed double tort - the way god meant it)
Booze Factor 5.0/5.0 (perfect score bitches - others -learn by example, I was impressed!)
Overall 4.1/5.0 (pretty good score considering not a single hispanic eating there)
