Reviews for El Callejon in Golden, CO
Super delicious spot! It?s a very small place but the food is to die for. I got the stuffed arepa with beef and it was by far... one of my best meals since getting to CO. Definitely recommend to anyone, the owners are also super nice and welcoming. Read more
Google told me it would be a good fit for me. The supreme pork arepa is to die for. The plantains weren't great. The dessert... pupusa was good, but not what I expected. It had a lot of corn in it and a very strong corn flavor that doesn't quite fit withthe coconut, pineapple, cajeta & lechita flavors. Very much like a Mexican pastel de elote. The truly disappointing piece wasthat this place is teeny tiny. Callejón is the Spanish word for alley, and that's exactly how this spot was built; by putting aroof over an alley. While there is room for a few tables and chairs, they haven't opened their seating back up from Covid, soyou have to sit outside on the sidewalk, in the wind. There's no restroom. Prices are reasonable. Read more
Excellent banana leaf tamales that are not easy to find and they do them perfect. Beautiful location in downtown Golden with a... great staff and customer service. Read more
The pork and green chile pupusas are delicious! This is a gem nestled in downtown Golden, and I am happy to have discovered it.
I ordered the vegan (black bean) Colombian tamale with a side of baked plantain and coleslaw And a mango and guanabana juice. I... didn?t care for the tamale at all and was disappointed at how flavorless it was. The plantain and juice were both really good!All in all, I felt my money was not well spent here at all.

Really excited about this place. The Colombian tamales were awesome. The pupusas were pretty good as well. The al pastor wasn't... my favorite, as it was more the pork dipped in sauce, rather than spit style.... But still, all really good. Would definitelycome back next time to Golden. Read more
I've tried the carnitas burrito and shredded beef burrito and let me tell you, they were the best burritos I've had in a long... time. It's a family owned business so you can tell the food is fresh and made with love. The owner Adriana is super nice and herColombian food is amazing. If your in golden you have to stop by! Read more
Best Latin food around. Skip next doors overpriced sandwiches and give your business to these lovely people. We ate here several... times during our trip. Amazing authentic food. Delicious! Read more
