Had lunch today and it was off the charts delicious! Margaritas were crafted with care and the food was excellent. Best Mexican I've probably ever had! Service was awesome. We almost didn't go as location is in a strip mall but so glad we did! We will definitely return.

AMAZING. OMG. Seriously. Are you a Mexican food lover? Do you like lovely slow cooked meats (carnitas, barbacoa)? This place is OFF THE CHARTS excellent!! We are in Denver for business - and a friend recommend this spot. On our first visit (YES, we are here for only a couple days, but have been twice, so far...and plan one more visit before we leave)...we ordered the Al Pastor Tacos and the smothered Carnitas burrito. I am a HUGE carnitas fan...and this burrito was sublime. It's about the size of two traditional sized enchiladas (not too big)...had an amazing tomatillo sauce...with a wonderful pickled cabbagey thing on top. Seriously, every bit was moist and delicious. Baby had the Al Pastor tacos - which he pronounced "the best I've ever had." So, a couple days later we took my brother (local to Denver). This time, we took the waiter's recommendation (he is also the owner)...and I had the Barbacoa Quesadilla (which comes with Barbacoa "juice" and a nice little hot salsa) - SO great!; Baby had the "pork belly tacos" which, in his description, "Sublime! From a reluctant Mexican food person...those tacos were blessed." (He is Canadian and also not religious...so, this is unheard of...) We are in town for a couple more days...and plan to go back before we leave. We also purchased some of their salsas! Yum...all different, but lovely. No preservatives...just beautiful fresh ingredients. This place is a MUST GO! (Also, good and easy parking for our big truck) Nice outdoor seating with umbrellas! Super service. Our server clearly wants you to enjoy your experience. If I could give this restaurant a 10 star, I would.

Amazing spot with true authentic Mexican food! The owner suggested the Barbacoa Quesadilla and wow, it was amazing

The owner chef and wife are incredibly nice. The food is next level. While you have to order only how it is on the menu (no mixing tacos). You won't be disappointed. I had the corn quesadilla with meat that came with 2 side sauces, home made. When the chef presented the plate he shared his suggestion on how to use the sauces and they were delicious. I could have had the same meal again if I was not full. A bit on the higher priced side but well worth it. The burrito my husband had was incredibly tasty and full of flavor. This was clean quality ingredient Mexican food as opposed to heavy and greasy. I would say this is gourmet Mexican. Definitely going back

I'm so glad we stopped here after our hike. It's a little non-assuming place next to a liquor store but the food is so delish! I had the Huevos Montados and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT. It's 2 Grilled Ham & onion quesadillas topped with poached eggs & their signature Pork Chile Verde - just perfect! He had the Tacos Albanil skillet, which he professed was too much food and then totally cleaned his plate. Yum!

Bueno! Bueno! Bueno! The drink menu is unique and amazing. The tacos? Mwah! Quesadilla Suiza dipped in consume! Count me in. Be sure to have the Elote Flan! Service was great. It is very cute inside and totally different than you would expect from its outside appearance. Highly recommend!

I love this place and it is my go to for incredible authentic Mexican food with incredible Margaritas! The owner is fantastic, this restaurant is like eating at a friends home in Mexico City. Thank you for bringing this to Colorado

Was looking for a good Mexican restaurant in the Golden area that we were going to be passing through last week and started pulling up all these great reviews for a taco place on the north side of town called Xicamiti la Taqueria Bistro, right at the corner of where Washington St. hits 58th. Turns out I'm just way behind the times. The place has been rockin' it for over 4 years and I'd never heard about it. Went in and glad we did. "Xicamiti" I learned, is the name of Mexico's national flower, the dahlia. Walter Meza, the owner (along with his kind wife and children) run the place and it is really excellent. Nothing fancy, but like a nice not-hole-in-the-wall street taco place, serving great food and equipped with a bar and probably 30+ seats or so inside along with a nice patio outside that gives a great view to Lookout Mtn. and Clear Creek Canyon. Had one of the most delicious quesadillas I've ever had (even though Walter said his personal favorite is the tacos campechanos). Give it a try and if you're interested here's the back-story (for you restaurant history buffs:). https://www.5280.com/the-tale-behind-the-triumph-of-goldens-xicamiti-la-taqueria-y-bistro/ Adios mi amigos, David "Nino di Xicamiti" M

4.5 stars. I've been wanting to try Xicamiti for awhile because of its high rating on Yelp. It's located right on the edge of Downtown Golden. Street parking isn't too bad for that reasons. My partner and I walked in and got seated immediately. It was fairly busy, but service was quick. I ordered the Chicharron and Camaron tacos, both of which come in threes. Everything tasted fresh and authentic. The salsa was also SO spicy. Each taco was packed with ingredients, and I definitely want to come back to try more of their menu items, from appetizers to burritos!

Holy smokes, the best Mexican food I've had in recent memory! Quick, amazing service, and unbelievably delicious. It's an unassuming restaurant next to a liquor store, but don't be deceived. They gave a warm welcome, and the owner came by several times to make us feel welcome, and explain dishes etc. We ordered compechano and Camaron tacos as well as quesadillas for the kids. The tacos had a generous portion of meat and fixins. The compechanos had some spice and were my favorite, while the Camaron tacos had a fresh flavor with more vegetables. Even the quesadillas were good. I will certainly return!
