Overview

Los Hernandez Mexican & American Food stands out as a genuine gem in Georgetown, Colorado. Nestled at 1500 Argentine Street, this vibrant Mexican restaurant operates from a food truck, blending authentic street-style Mexican fare with an approachable yet memorable dining experience. The truck’s location near a small parking lot and shaded seating area offers a casual, inviting spot to enjoy meals amidst the charm of downtown Georgetown.

The menu centers on true Mexican staples, notably their celebrated burritos and tacos, crafted with care and bold, balanced flavors. Regulars swear by the carne asada burrito, praised for its generous portions and rich taste without unnecessary fillers. The al pastor and carne asada tacos have earned accolades from both locals and travelers, including those familiar with Mexico’s culinary traditions, highlighting the authenticity and quality of their offerings. The green sauce, often mentioned for its lively spice, perfectly complements the dishes and adds to the genuine experience.

What makes Los Hernandez truly shine beyond the food is the welcoming atmosphere shaped by its owner and staff. The service is consistently friendly and efficient, making every visit pleasant. Open throughout the week and starting early with breakfast options, the food truck caters to a broad audience—from mountain locals craving familiar flavors to visitors seeking a reliable, flavorful meal on the go.

The modest but comfortable seating arrangements—tables and chairs placed under shade trees—encourage patrons to linger and savor their food while soaking in the relaxed, small-town vibe. This blend of authenticity, quality, and convivial ambiance successfully bridges Mexican culinary traditions with the distinct character of a Colorado mountain town.

Whether you’re passing through or firmly rooted in the area, Los Hernandez Mexican & American Food offers a no-frills, deeply satisfying dining experience that emphasizes quality ingredients, thoughtful preparation, and a genuine connection to its community and cuisine.

Best Mexican food in Georgetown. Open all week long and early am for breakfast. One of only 2 places in town yhat will serve you on Monday and Tuesday. Food truck located at Taos & Sixth St. adjacent to a small public parking lot. I like the Carne Asada burrito for $8. Huge, delicious, cheapest food in town, friendly service. There are lots of chairs and benches within walking distance that you can sit down at and enjoy your meal in this lovely downtown setting. NOTE: location may move to the Georgetown Visiter Center soon. There are tables and chairs under the shade tree next to the trailer also.

Authentic burrito, not filled with beans and rice to fill you up. Sauce is excellent. Nice balance in flavors. Can get your food pretty quick and sit in the park or take to go . They have tables as well. Gracious owner was very grateful for our business.

SO GOOD! Being from Chicago, and traveling to Mexico regularly, I can comfortably say these are some of the best tacos I've ever had, period. Absolutely worth the stop coming into, or going out of Denver. Next time I'm in the Colorado mountains, this will be a must. El al pastor y la carne asada son una maravilla. Felicidades a los taqueros.

The absolute best Mexican food I’ve ever had in Colorado. It’s REALLY hard to find good, true Mexican food here in the mountains and these guys are throwing down in a small food truck. I find myself going back a few times a week. Please give them a shot and try something new. You’ll be throughly impressed! They have a seating area with two tables, and 10/12 chairs for eating if you want to enjoy the ambiance of downtown GT.

Legit al pastor tacos with big chunks of pineapple and good pork with onions and cilantro. Excellent red and green salsas on the side + Mexican Coke in a bottle (the only way I drink coke now). Super friendly people, too. We'll be back!

Awesome little taco truck!! We had chorizo and pastor burritos, asada tacos, and chicken quesadillas and they were all awesome!! All of the meats were tender and flavorful…we were just on our way through but if we were local we’d for sure be regulars. Super friendly service, too!! There are tables out behind their truck to sit at. Definitely check them out!! *They were parked by the visitor center, like another reviewer mentioned they might be, not at the listed address.
