Uno Mas Taqueria

We ate here on afternoon for lunch, as my boss lives right down the street. I’ve been dying to go back ever since! It was basically empty when we went, except for a couple people sitting at the bar (Jealous!!!) so we did not have to wait at all.
The service was great, and the menu is super easy and straightforward.
We got the chips and salsa and guac to begin, and we demolished all of it! The guac was fresh, and the medium salsa, was my favorite! When the waiter realized most of the chips we had were mostly crumbs, he quickly refilled out basket with fresh, warm, salty ones! YUM.
We tried a variety of the tacos I had the smoked chicken, and the bean and cheese, and my colleagues had the carne asada.
My favorite was the chicken. My boss said the bean and cheese was made differently than usual, as it had a weird sauce, that made it overly chewy, and not so great. People said that Carne tacos were pretty salty, but I didn’t try them. I could have had another pound of chips and 2 more chicken tacos. I definitely want to go back for happy hour, as their margaritas look fantastic!!!
I hear they deliver too? Uh oh…

Ordering tacos like sushi? Yes please! We absolutely love this place… pork belly, smoked chicken, shrimp and chorizo are some of our favorites.
It’s a very casual atmosphere and the wait staff are friendly and fun. The drinks are also quite good.
TACOS GET IN MY MOUTH.

Awesome food and good service in a nice, small, and friendly atmosphere.
Chips and salsa were excellent, my girlfriend even purchased some salsa verde to take home.
My pork belly taco was incredible, very smokey. I was expecting to be overwhelmed with bacon flavor but pleasantly surprised with a more complex taco. The duck taco was also excellent.
My girlfriend had the barbacoa and carne asada tacos and said they were the best thing she’s had in a while.
We would definitely come back and recommend to a friend.

Uno Mas is our favorite taqueria and one of our favorite places to go all-​around. Prices are fair, and the food is incredible (especially the smoked chicken and the carne asada tacos). Some of their specialty margs can get a little too pulpy for my taste, but their classic is always good. Also, service is usually really good. We had the pleasure of meeting the chef at one point who is an incredibly nice and humble Mexican man.

This is one of our favorite family Friday night dinners. I love the a la carte ordering. We always order too much — but we love it! I haven’t had a bad dinner yet since we started going.
My favorite are the Barbacoa tacos and the guacamole!
Sometimes the wait can be tough — they don’t take reservations.
I love that this is close to my house.

Deciding to write this review, as the overall experience is fresh in my mind. Fresh — being the key word, as it properly describes all of the food. The three salsas (tomatillo, pico-​esque, and sweet and spicy) were clearly freshly hand-​made, and delicious. The chips were ample, also super fresh, and well salted (not to mention, more than we could eat). Happy hour is terrific — the cold, lime accompanied Pacifico for $ 2.00. Really? Try to beat that in this area. Cannot. Be. Done. I love the «like you are ordering sushi» checklist for the street tacos, and if you can’t find something that sounds appetizing, you are in the wrong place. Ample fillings, and not too soggy. The two white corn tortillas hold the ingredients perfectly. I had the shrimp — with three good size shrimp, and delicious seasoning and accompanying ingredients. Also tried the pork belly, and am not going to lie — not a fan. BUT if you like smoke flavoring, you would find this selection delicious. Thick bacon, and fresh avocado.
This is a small place with quaint décor, bandana napkins, and clean, clean, clean. I can only imagine that this place gets rockin’ on the weekends, and most certainly during warmer weather.
Our server Anthony (who may very well be a manager?) was so incredibly service oriented and friendly, without being obnoxious! Carefully described his favorites and the fish of the day, and even showed me the plated special!!! I was sitting by the window, which was too cold and he moved me to an interior table without even blinking an eye. Told me about the Kaos pizza down the street (that I also have enjoyed) and a new place opening up in the Tennyson area with a sincere commitment to the locations, foods, service, owner, and repeat patronage.
This is certainly a «don’t miss» place on South Pearl. Our tacos came out quickly, yet we didn’t feel rushed. Great energy and vibe, and diverse clientele, which I love.
You certainly leave wanting «Uno Mas.» An overall, great experience!

Don’t expect to be wowed by amazing customer service or be catered to like you’re at a 5-​star restaurant like some of the reviewers have complained about. Go there for the awesome food!
This place is small so if you walk in with a party of 10, give the employees a chance to accommodate such a crowd.
I will 100% go back!

So the chips and salsa are mediocre at best. I don’t think it was worth the 3.50 though. They should of been free for bagged chips and ok salsa. Tacos are overpriced for the quality in my opinion. The shrimp taco was really good but I wasn’t a fan of their carnitas or barbacoa. Probably won’t be back to this place unless someone else is buying. I can get same quality for half the price up the way.

Very good addition to the neighborhood. Some of the best street tacos in Denver.
And the margaritas are awesome!

Tacos were very tasty! I would have liked them to be a lot warmer. Really enjoyed their chips, salsas and guacamole. I didn’t like the use of the Mexican flag as napkins.

Throwing this out there while it’s fresh in my mind.
Uno Mas was a back up plan for Labor Day and we’re glad it worked out! Not the sexiest place, simple but clean inside, but the staff is nice and the back patio provided some relief from the heat.
Tacos were great, actually liked them all. Highlights were:
Langoustine — was the special of the day, taste fishy/​like the sea (in a good way, like a langoustine should) and it was a heaping portion
Lengua — perfectly cooked, nice with the corn
It was also priced well compared to a couple of other «upscale» taquerias. Would like to go back for a torta.

Yum! I’m a huge fan of tacos, especially ala carte tacos so Uno Mas automatically gets points right there for that. My colleague and I stopped in after a work shift and I was stoked to see they had happy hour going on. We sat at the bar, enjoyed a $ 2 Pacifico and tacos. They had some happy hour specials going on with chips and guacamole but we passed (I think one of the few times in my life where I’ve passed on guac). I ordered two tacos so I could get some food in my system and went with the portobello mushroom taco along with the porkbelly taco because I cannot resist porkbelly ever! The portobello was good but nothing drool worthy, but the pork belly was what dreams are made of. Topped with a nice portion of avocado and covered in an ancho and coffee rub, it was absolutely delightful. I took small bites so I could enjoy as much of it as possible. For street tacos they’re a little pricey ($ 3-​$ 4.50 each) so if you’re looking to gorge, you may want to rethink but then again, all tacos are $ 3 on Tuesday so this would probably be the day to celebrate and go wild and order the beef tongue taco!

This place is awesome! So, so good. Been here many many times and I always find the service and the food awesome!
Their guacamole is pretty good, their hot salsa has a really delicious and unique flavor that I really dig.
Of all the street tacos that I has done tried here, the duck tacos are out of this world. The flavor and crisp on the duck is spot on. The shrimp tacos are also delicious!
Love Uno Mas!!!

The space is small but they maximize seating with an adorable (and pretty desirable) patio out back.
The food is fresh. The chips came out warn and crisp. The salsas and guacamole were great. I could of had JUST those and been fine. The House margaritas are the perfect amount of strong and tasty!
The tacos are all served without sides. It’s nice to have a selection of super affordable choices. You can mix and match from a menu of creative choices. The pork belly tacos were super tasty. The fish tacos are made with Mahi Mahi but had too much sauce for me.
There is only 1 bathroom and its kept SUPER dark, heads up!

The crawfish taco is divine. But the Mexican mule is even more divine. I also like how the tacos are al a carte. You can order a medley of different tacos or just one to satisfy your hankering for soft corn tortilla tacos.
The space, though small, is cozy. Not necessarily conducive for large parties or moving around in general. It’s narrow and packed with two top tables and a long bar serving up Pacifico on tap. The small space is also not favorable of noise. Let’s just say we couldn’t hear our convo due to the super loud party nearby.
The service was attentive and the salsas were zesty and fresh, however I’m still not sure the price on one taco, two drinks, and a beer warranted the price we paid. Nevertheless, I’d like to return and enjoy that delicious Mexican mule during their happy hour!

Great little gem on Pearl! I was lucky enough to swing in here for a drink and bite to eat Monday night and really enjoyed the place.
I was a bit surprised that a group of 20 had a reservation that was going to take up a lot of the dining room seating in such a small venue, but was happy to sidle up to the bar to eat.
The bartender was slammed when we sat down but acknowledged us right away. She came back and told us their specials for the night and happily gave us suggestions as well.
I went with fish tacos and pork tacos. Both came out delicious but I think the fish were just a bit better. The couple next to us had guacamole and it looked fantastic. Wasn’t super hungry but will try some next time.
Service was quick, food was great, staff was friendly. I’ll be back.

This is the husband’s favorite place to grab a marg and taco. They have a great happy hour that we frequent — on the usual rotation: three pupusas for $ 6, ½ order of guac -$ 3 and drink specials of the day. The pork belly taco is my fav — sometimes it can be a bit dry but most of the time it comes out plump and flavorful. They put out solid food and drinks and the service we get is fantastic.
In particular Lucio, Brian and Gabe always make us feel welcome and pay special attention to my husband’s dietary needs (red meat and nut allergies). It is wonderful peace of mind not having to worry about cross contamination.
Other random thoughts: It can definitely get loud during the busy times but we often go at the beginning or end of HH so it is a more relaxed atmosphere. The tables are close together so you will get to know your neighbors. An outdoor patio offers more space. There is only one bathroom so that can be problematic at times.

I will admit, the food and drinks at Uno Mas aren’t the best I’ve had around town, but the ambiance and staff completely make up for that. Love that it’s a welcoming, cozy, neighborhood joint where you will see a wide range of people hanging out and enjoying themselves.
Don’t get me wrong, the tacos and margs can be REALLY yummy, but sometimes (especially when they’re busy) a mojito might get a little less attention than it needs or the fish for your taco might be slightly overcooked. Still completely yummy, just not always as good as it can be.
Favorite tacos are the carnitas, fish, smoked chicken, and al pastor. The queso y frijoles is good, but spicy, and the seafood taco is sometimes great, sometimes not so much.
Another benefit? They deliver. Fast. Like… last time I ordered they apologized that it would take 25 minutes kind of fast.
If you haven’t been to Uno Mas, I’d definitely suggest you check it out – plan to spend a few hours, enjoy some drinks and eats, and soak it all in!

We love tacos!
We stopped into this newish taco eatery to have a sampling of their fare. It was on Sunday and Uno Mas hosts HH on Sundays from open (11:30, I think) — 5:00, Woo hoo! I enjoyed a $ 5 marg that was pretty good and not too sweet. We also took advantage of the discounted guac which was tasty but seemed like it was from the day prior. (A wee bit brown, you see?)
We ordered 4 tacos: Pork Belly– this had pretty good flavor and wasn’t as dry as it appeared. I’d possibly order this again. Queso Y Frijoles– Hubs enjoyed this one more than I did. We were sharing and I didn’t get nearly as much of the queso as I would have liked. Seafood– it had shrimp and scallops and was ok. I wouldn’t order it again. The shrimp was overcooked and the flavor combo was off. Roasted Portobello– this was my favorite taco. It kind of had a «pot roast» type of flair to it but I really enjoyed it and would certainly order it again.
We tried all of the salsas but didn’t care for any of them. The main salsa has lots of oregano and is quite overpowering. The «hot» salsa was my favorite of the 3 but it wasn’t very memorable.
We like that it’s local with a decent happy hour so we may return to try a few other tacos but we’re not in a rush.

Have you ever had a craving for tacos and margaritas? Have you ever wanted to sit in a quiet place while consuming beef tongue and other exotic meats? Have you wondered why a review has some many questions in it?
Ok, go to Uno Mas and stop reading this review. It is going to be the best taco you’ve had this week, way better than some other locations (Machete **COUGH**, **COUGH**) and has some of the nicest wait staff to boot.
The ordering process is as simple as the eating process. 1. Read the menu. 2. Mark down your selections of tacos, tortas or other items. 3. Hand to wait staff. After all of that, enjoy and come back the next day. You’ll want to, I promise.
