Taco House

Taco House at 1390 W Littleton Blvd is a long-running Littleton stop for old-school Tex-Mex, especially cheese enchiladas, smothered combinations, crunchy tacos and green chile. The setting is casual and deliberately no-frills, with dine-in, takeout and a drive-thru that regulars use for quick pickup. Cheese enchiladas are the safest first order: they have been closely associated with Taco House across its Colorado locations for decades. The Littleton restaurant remains an operating location, although it should not be confused with the separately listed Denver and Lakewood restaurants.

What Is Taco House Littleton Known For?

Taco House is best understood as nostalgic Colorado-style Tex-Mex rather than a modern street-taco shop. Cheese-heavy enchiladas covered in sauce are the signature, while green chile, smothered burritos, tostadas and combination dinners shape much of the menu. Food Network specifically identifies cheese enchiladas as the dish Colorado diners associate with Taco House and notes that Littleton is one of the locations serving the restaurant’s distinctive enchilada gravy.

Its longevity matters too. Customer feedback repeatedly describes the Littleton Boulevard restaurant as a place families have returned to for decades, often as much for familiarity and nostalgia as for the food itself.

What to Order at Taco House Littleton

#4 Dinner , $10.75. Three cheese enchiladas come with three tostada shells topped separately with chile con queso, beans and guacamole. Order this first if you want to understand Taco House in one meal: soft, cheese-filled enchiladas meet crunchy tostadas and three different rich toppings.

Special Combination , $11.99. This plate combines a smothered burrito, taco and tostada. It is the better choice when you want contrasting textures rather than an enchilada-heavy dinner; green chile is the default smothering sauce when no chile selection is specified.

Cheese Enchiladas , $8.75 for three. Go straight to the restaurant’s signature if you prefer a simple order. The appeal is soft tortillas, melted cheese and the deeply sauced style that longtime customers associate with Taco House.

Chili Cheese Fries , $8.00. Fries arrive smothered in green chile, making them the pick for anyone who wants to try the restaurant’s chile without committing to a full combination plate.

Food, Service & Atmosphere Review

Customer opinion is genuinely divided. Fans praise the enchilada sauce, spicy green chile, affordable comfort-food character and cheerful drive-thru service. Longtime guests also value the restaurant’s consistency and retro feel. Critics report weaker burritos, bland or watery chile on some visits, dated surroundings and food quality that does not always justify current prices.

That makes expectations important: come for old-school, sauce-heavy Tex-Mex and nostalgia, not polished décor or contemporary Mexican cooking.

Is Taco House Littleton Worth Visiting?

Yes, if the style sounds right. Taco House is worth trying for a casual, inexpensive-feeling Tex-Mex experience with local history behind it. First-timers should order the cheese enchiladas or a combination dinner and judge the restaurant by what it does best. Skip it if fresh street tacos, refined presentation or upscale atmosphere are priorities.
