We dreaded that these days might be coming. The Taco House has been part of our family since 1974. We used to save our money as kids to go to the Taco House and get a Special Combination and Queso's. We've been to all of the old locations across Denver on many occasions, but our favorite(s) were always either West Colfax, the old Villa Italia location or Federal when we were in the area. To say we grew up on it is so very true. When the Blizzard of '82 hit, the TH was open the day after and we drove a VW Beetle through the snow to have our favorites! Nancy catered my late mothers' (The Avon Lady) memorial service so we could send her off in TH style! Time marches on. We're all older now and the landscape of our city has changed. The one beacon has always been the Taco House. Our comfort place. It can and will never be replaced. Hopefully Greg & Nancy will go a few more years at Wadsworth! To the Bevelhymer's, Reish's and all at the Taco House of all these years. We thank you and we love you! All the best!

My grandparents started going here, taking my dad and their 3 other children here all the time. Religiously. When my grandmother died, we all gathered here. She loves this place. This place created my dad’s love for Mexican food. Something he’s passed down to his own 3 children. My dad starting taking me here when I was just a baby. I’m now 31 and I’ve gone too many times to count. Even when we moved to Texas, we came back to visit family twice a year and we went to Taco House every single time. This place means so much to my dad and I. To my family. When I moved back to Colorado on my own, I became a regular again. I introduced the greatest smothered green burrito to my now husband. It was a staple in our house when I became pregnant myself. Now, my own baby goes here. That’s 4 generations of my family that eats here. I’ll never forget the one time my dad couldn’t make it to Colorado for Christmas and we framed a menu for him as a gift. We are so thrilled to own multiple merch items. My Taco House hoodie is one of my most cherished items. This place means everything to us. Even though Taco House is run by a family that is not mine, it feels like it is ours too. Thank you so much for all the memories. We will miss this place more than you will ever know.

I remember growing up and eating at the Taco House in Aurora location before it got shut down for selling minors liquor and I would always get a #2 with onions and a Burrada with lettuce, tomato, and onions. When I was a baby my parents took us there and they gave me hot sauce to try and made me cry cause it was too spicy. But even before I left Colorado I still would go to the one that was off of I think it was 88th and Washington just right east of Jim's Burger Haven and I would still get my #2 with onions and my Burrada deluxe. I truly wished you had a restaurant out here in Fort Worth TX. Some where in my stuff I have a free dinner from the one that was off of Washington Street, it was a punch card that got filled out and got a free dinner and never turned it in for the free dinner cause I moved away and then that location shut down. I don't know when it did or why, so I don't think that even if some how if I were to make a trip out there I don't think I would be able to use that punch card.

My wife introduced me to the culinary extravagance of the Federal Blvd. Taco House location four years ago. Since then, we have made a (semi) weekly commitment to stop in for consistently comforting food, good conversation with Greg, Sierra and the rest of the staff and an overall sense of community and joy. Like a friend you love to visit, it has been a staple in our lives, and will be sorely missed. Best wishes to everyone who works there. It has been a pleasure getting to know you all and bonding over tacos and cheese enchiladas (hold the onions for my wife, please.)

I went in to the Lakewood location today for a #4 with onions, mom had the same but she get green chili instead of the enchilada sauce. We sat and talked about our memories, over 40 years ago coming here as a family. I was just a little girl and ordered the taco burger with chips most times. Then grew into the order of crunchy tacos, and then matured and realized the #4 cheese enchiladas was the way to go. Thank you for so many memories and for being a place for family to gather all these years.
