Since opening its doors in late-fall, Guapo Taco has been drawing in visitors to Colorado Mills. Pulled in by the scent of grilled steak, griddled chorizo and flame-kissed corn ribs, the taco spot has become the top spot for fueling up before, during or after a day of shopping at the mall.

In addition to unique taco combinations - we're looking at you, Burger Taco - Guapo Taco has a stellar cocktail program. The bar is stocked with smoky mezcals and delicious tequilas to enjoy in expertly-crafted margaritas or the house favorite Piña Ahumada, a cocktail featuring Espolon Reposado tequila, Union mezcal, pineapple, firewater tincture, lime juice and agave nectar, and finished table side with an infusion of (literal) smoky flavor.

Colorado Mills is sure to see a lot of last-minute holiday shoppers over the next two weeks, and an experience at Guapo Taco provides a much needed break from the frenzy.
