El Mexicano

It’s hard to pick just one taco truck to represent in this category, but outdoor reporter Jason Blevins made a strong case for El Mexicano in Leadville with four simple words: “those tacos barbacoa … bruh.” The truck is typically parked on the north end of town near Safeway, and offers Jalisco-style Mexican food with a steady taco menu, a highly recommended salsa selection and one-off specials like menudo and ceviche advertised on their Facebook page. Wait times can climb to 45 minutes during peak hours, so if you’re hoping for a quick stop you might want to call ahead. But it’s worth the wait. How many chances do you get to eat a Frito Burrito at 10,000 feet?
