" I visited Federales on a busy Friday night and while I loved the ambiance, my food experience was underwhelming. My shrimp tacos were overly spicy and I had trouble tasting other flavors. The service was fair but had to wait quite some time for our drinks. The seating was comfortable and loved the outdoor option. I think I need to come back and try something different instead, as I've heard great things about the carnitas. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited this place during the weekend, and it was absolutely packed! While the atmosphere was electric, I found it quite overwhelming as it was hard to find a quiet moment. I ordered the pork and pineapple tacos and some margaritas, and they were decent but not outstanding. I felt they could improve the seasoning as they were a bit underwhelming. The service was friendly but we had to wait longer than expected for our food. Overall, it was a good experience but I think I would prefer to come during a less busy time next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Federales was nothing short of exhilarating! Just walking through the door, I was struck by the atmosphere; it radiates fun and excitement! I tried several menu items, including their famous queso and various tacos. Each dish burst with flavor, especially the spicy chicken tacos that were phenomenal. The ice shot novelty turned out to be my favorite part of the evening. Staff were attentive, and we never waited long for anything. I'd consider this a top-tier establishment for nightlife in Denver! " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Federales last weekend for a birthday celebration with some friends. I think the experience was very satisfactory! The atmosphere had a fun and festive vibe, fitting for a birthday celebration. The staff was kind, and our server was attentive, but at times I felt we were left waiting a bit longer than necessary. The tacos were solid, and I tried the green chile burrito, which was good but slightly lacking in flavor. Overall, it was a good time and I would recommend it to my friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" What an experience it was at Federales! The vibrant atmosphere was perfect for a night out with friends. I had the grilled shrimp tacos, and they were honestly some of the best I've ever tasted. They're loaded with flavor and very authentic. Additionally, the strength of the cocktails is impressive! Fast service made it even better. I will undoubtedly recommend this place to everyone I know!

" Federales is hands down one of my new favorite spots! As soon as you walk in, you're greeted with a lively atmosphere and the decor is just so fun. I had the carne asada tacos, and they were bursting with flavor—definitely authentic and not your run-of-the-mill tacos. Our server was friendly, and while it took a bit to get our drinks, the overall experience made up for it. The ice shots are such a unique concept! I had a blast throwing the shots at the bell. Can't wait to come back again! " (*Curated Review*)

" Federales was an unexpected delight! The atmosphere is vibrant and perfect for social gatherings. I tried the potato tacos and they were delicious! Absolutely filling and perfectly seasoned. The outdoor seating added a nice touch to the experience, allowing us to enjoy the warm evening. Even though the service was a little slow at times, the staff was friendly and accommodating. I would definitely recommend Federales to anyone who loves good tacos and happy vibes. " (*Curated Review*)
