Josie’s Tacos & Hamburgers
When Josefina Saenz opened Josie’s Tacos & Hamburgers in Mead, Colorado, her dream was to create a restaurant that paid homage to her mother’s and grandma’s recipes while creating something a little different and fresh, “When I ask my customers, "What do you think about this plate?" And my customers tell me, "This is super good," I feel so good about myself.”
In 2020, a space along Main Street had become available in Mead. As a long-term resident, she jumped at the opportunity. Having lived in the community for over 18 years, she knew it was the perfect place to bring her vision to life. “I chose this little town because the people are friendly, and it was my home for so many years.” Josie also believes the town is growing and is excited to see new businesses and offices open in the community.
Those looking to try Josie’s Tacos for the first time will find fresh ingredients and some favorites from locals, “Most of the customers really love chicken chipotle tacos. I can't find them anywhere. And I created this taco because I really love chipotle. It's one of my favorite ingredients.” Additionally, another tried and true menu item is the crispy rellenos, “I use the Anaheim peppers for this and a lot of my customers told me this is super good.”
Service is also an important component of Josie’s atmosphere: “Usually, the people come and work for me for years. I try to keep my best people around me. And I got super good people, good servers, good cooks, and good helpers.” Teamwork plays a key role in ensuring the restaurant runs smoothly.
At Josie’s you’ll find authentic cuisine with recipes passed down from generations, some new creations, and a dream taken form in the plates delivered to tables.
