Taqueria El Valle

Taqueria El Valle in Aurora offers tacos in varieties ranging from al pastor to pollo asado, and taco de deshebrada to lengua. Opt for one of the combos to pair up your taco pick (three tacos) with guacamole and a drink. Tortas, nachos, burritos and more round out the menu.

Tacos el Reydesel

Tacos el Reydesel makes the city’s best birria, full stop. This spot certainly didn’t invent birria, and it definitely wasn’t the first Aurora place serving it—but this place gave birria the headliner status it always deserved. The menu is tight, focused, and flawless. Order a few of the tacos on broth-dipped tortillas, and dunk them into a cup of the mysteriously rich consome.
