Located in Union Market, Washington DC. I stopped by for lunch with a colleague. Within the bustling 'La Cosecha' food hall lay this gem of a restaurant. I was greeted with a warm welcome from staff. Ambiance is upbeat and lively. I grabbed a pineapple jarrito, and ordered 1 shrimp taco, a veggie taco, and chips + guacamole! Everything was fresh and flavorful! Authentic tacos that will make you want to come back for. more! Cheers! read more

I stopped in to get some tamales they had on special all of them were really good. I loved the langua it was very tasty. Had a great balance of savory and richness in flavor. The langua was very tender. You get them warmed up or chilled. I chose to get them chilled since I have a steamer at home. Service was very friendly and encouraged me to take the sauce s they make. Inside it's very nice has a lot of seating and looks modern. read more

The best tacos I've had in DC! They are still quite expensive (at least compared to street tacos or from a food truck) but the taste is well worth it. Their meats are well-seasoned, they have a variety of salsas, and they are bursting with flavor, reminiscent of tacos from Mexico! They also have some great alcoholic margs and you can choose between hibiscus or cucumber. Both count for the happy hour deal from 4-7 PM and the staff are kind enough to put chamoy and tajin on the rim. The dining area is composed of a few tables and while you bus, the servers being out the food to you. Generally, very friendly staff and usually not too crowded! read more

One of the best taco spots in Union Market. Every taco is flavored perfectly and I love the corn tortillas! I also love their pastries cookies, in the salsa bar. The service is pretty quick when it's not too packed, but it doesn't matter because the food is worth the weight. You can find seating inside or you can find seating inside LaCosecha. I love how cute it is inside. It's a perfect place to dine in or take to go. You will not regret eating here. My favorite are the brisket and campechano. read more

Apapacho Taqueria - My favorite tacos suedero and Campechano - Mexican Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Nestled by the old Union Market facade this Taqueria is a local legend. My wife and I were a bit early on a snowy holiday weekend and we thought they were closed. To our delight we arrived just a bit too early and as they opened that day one could see why this place was a go to spot for many as people began lining up real quick. My wife always orders their selection of breakfast tacos with guac and chips to go along with them. My favorite part of dining here is their fresh and creamy habanero sauce that is deliciously fire as the youngsters would say! read more

One qualm I have with the DC food scene is a lack of excellent tacos. Apapacho Taqueria (alongs with select others) solves this issue. Very cute spot situated in La Cosecha / Union Market area. I tried the taco de asada and taco de Suadero, both delicious. Filling and flavorful. Very excited to try more soon! read more

I'm the type of person who is always down to eat tacos as long as they are authentic Mexican tacos, meaning they are making tacos with freshly made tortillas along with freshly made salsas. That's exactly what you'll find at Apapacho. I ordered 5 tacos and they were all fantastic. My favorites were the Suadero, Carnitas, and mushrooms. My only complaint is that I wish they either lightly fried their tortillas on the griddle or doubled them up since I found that tacos tended to fall apart a bit once they soaked in the juices from the meat and salsas. The service was friendly and quick. The tacos were reasonably priced. I also tried their Oaxacan chocolate cookie which was pretty good. I look forward to coming back soon. read more

The food tasted super fresh and delicious. The happy hour margaritas were yummy. Cute outdoor seating too.

Anytime there's a long line for tacos, they're probably good! I love the open kitchen concept, all the fresh salsas and decor. While the tacos were overpriced they were good. If in the area again, I'd try them out again. read more

We had a wide variety of their tacos and loved every one! I really wanted a good taster of the menu so we tried (from top to bottom on the first picture) the taco Al pastor, chicken milanesa taco, vegetarian mushroom taco, taco de carnitas, taco de Baja shrimp, and another chicken milanesa taco! I of course also did a tasting of their salsa bar and loved loved loved the tomatillo salsa verde! The creamy jalapeño sauce was a close second on the favorite scale Their guac was so fresh and citrusy! read more

Delicious authentic Mexican cuisine! I enjoyed the steak tacos which were seasoned with spices and topped with flavorful salsas. There is a salsa station to select as many salsas as you would like. Food came out fairly quick! Outside bar seating is available alongside the walkway. Food is fresh and flavorful! I'll be back for the steak tacos. read more

Absolutely love this new addition to La Cosecha in the Union Market District. Friendly service and a stellar salsa bar set the mood for a fabulous lunch. The mushroom taco was so flavor and way better than any mushroom taco I'd ever had. The oyster mushrooms really gave it a meat-like texture. And that fried corn quesadilla - wow. Crispy on the outside, creamy potato and cheese inside. Heavenly. read more

So excited that I finally got to try Apapacho! I love that they have a salsa bar that you can load up on so you can customize your taco just to your liking. We got the mushroom taco and the baja shrimp taco, which were both really delicious. We also split a concha and some agua fresca, which made for a very tasty meal. I want to come back ASAP to try the guac and their signature fried corn quesadilla. read more

Great chocolate chip cookies. The tacos are pretty good but they are typically cold for some reason!? The actual meat. I've tried three times. Not sure why... maybe the time I go or the toppings are cold the are using. So that is a bummer for me. read more

Cute, super casual sit-down taco spot inside the La Cosecha marketplace in the Union Market area. Service was solid -- I ordered and paid up front and then someone from the kitchen brought me my tacos when they were ready. The tacos are flavorful and filling, I love the variety of toppings and sauces. The lengua, campechanos and shrimp tacos in particular were delicious! The frozen margaritas were also really good, refreshing in the warm weather and not too sweet. A great spot to grab some food and drinks, sit outside and enjoy the area. read more

I was drawn in by the colorful bright restaurant. Tried the chicken milanese and brisket tacos. The chicken taco was delish I liked the textures of the papas fritas and chicken. The chicken was well seasoned with great flavor. I would have liked more seasoning on the brisket, but that was taken care of by an array of salsas you can choose from. The tacos were so good I had to go order more. Next tried the shrimp on flour tortilla (default is corn tortilla) and fried corn quesadilla. I thought the chicken taco was good, but the shrimp on the flour tortilla was A1. The acidic element combined with the well seasoned shrimp and the flour tortilla!!! Delicious - I will get the flour tortillas from now on. I tried the fried corn quesadillas. I tasted mashed potatoes and crema. The corn I tasted was the corn tortilla that encased the potatoes. The texture didn't seemed fried. From the name I was expecting something different. The chips would have been elevated by lime and salt. Overall the vibe of the restaurant was care and attention. I saw prep cooks making salsa and sauces, so you know the food is handmade. The staff were all friendly and the food came out quickly. I will definitely be visiting again. read more

After touring a nearby venue, we popped in here to grab lunch. Most of the spots in the complex are shared seating, but this one had its own little spot. The tacos were amazing. Street taco, 3 inch tortillas, great all around. Water spigot readily available and they had some mexican beers too. It's an order at the counter and pick up at the counter spot. There's even a little salsa bar too. I got an al pastor, a baja shrimp, and one more that's escaping my purple link brain. read more

Apapacho Taqueria - grilled chicken and suadero tacos - Mexican Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

This is a solid spot around Union Market for tacos! The portion for their guacamole and chips is very respectable for the price. There's nothing remarkable about the tacos here, but they're pretty much exactly what you'd expect from a decent taco. The meat in the tacos is more on the dry side but nothing that some lime and the free salsas can't spruce up. The service is quick and it's really bright and airy on the inside with a good amount of seating. read more

Finally got to try Apapacho and was pleasantly surprised. My husband and I ordered a gringa, suadero tacos, guac' and chips, and the campechano tacos. The campechano tacos were definitely our favorite- the meat was so well cooked and seasoned. While I enjoyed the tacos, I found the tortillas to be a bit underwhelming. Their salsas were also just okay. However, their meats and the chihuahua cheese in the gringa really stole the show. I am not sure I would go here again unless I am in the area and have a Mexican food craving. read more

As a San Diegan, I was stubbornly committed to not trying Mexican food while on the East Coast because I thought I'd be let down. But, I guess DC is the place to do it? I wanted a quick dinner and was in the Union Market area, so I decided to stop at Apapacho (it is also one of the rare restaurants in the UM area that has a decent rating). The taqueria isn't in the actual Union Market food hall, but is part of La Cosecha. Thankfully, they have a full kitchen to work with, which pretty much guarantees the food is going to be fresher. I ordered three tacos: one carne asada, one milanesa, and one oyster mushroom. They also have cochinita pibil, suadero, lengua, fried shrimp, and other fillings. I think this is one of the rare taquerias I've been to that has such a wide range. I also arrived on a weekday during happy hour tacos, so the milanesa taco was $4 instead of the usual $4.75. A taco pushing almost five dollars to me is pretty whack, but they were surprisingly substantial. The standouts were the milanesa and the carne asada. The carne asada was tender and smoky, and I liked the thin, crispy potatoes that topped the milanesa (it's like a thin, Mexican chicken schnitzel). The oyster mushroom taco is good in theory, but I think the oyster mushrooms were sliced way too thin before frying; I could only taste the batter. I also think the corn tortillas could be a little more sturdy--maybe double-wrapped is the way to go? They did not stand a chance against the saucier fillings and fell apart immediately. Aside from that, Apapacho Taqueria was solid and spoiled SD citizen approved. read more

I'm a foodie from Long Beach California,where you can find good Tacos in a restaurant, food truck or a cart. I don't know if the person taking my order was having a bad day but he didn't look like he wanted to be there. Once we got our food, I was talking about the sauce was not that hot,my friend thought I was talking about the food. He said yes it's cold, once I took my 1st bite,I realized that he was talking about the food was cold. How do you get cold food when I thought it was fresh off the grill??? I sent my foodie sista a picture of what I ordered. She saw what I saw and tasted. Just take a look at the Steak,burned and old. I will be back in the area but you couldn't offer me it for free,I'll be trying other places at the Union Market. How much business would they get if my picture of my plate of Tacos was for advertising??? read more

Unbelievable food, great service, great location, and very low prices for the DC area.

Cute new taco place in La Cosecha! I love the decor and vibe of the place. There's also ample seating inside as well as in the main area of La Cosecha. I tried the Campechano and Carnitas tacos. The tortillas themselves are on the small side which makes the portion look really small, but I actually thought the amount of meat/filling is comparable or even more than other places, so I think the price is reasonable enough. I loved the carnitas taco - my one complaint is that it was a bit greasy which made it very messy to eat. But I did like the chicharron which added a little bit of texture, and I appreciate that they don't skimp on the onions as I think it helps cut through the heaviness of the meat. I also love that they have a variety of different self-serve sauces and salsas at the front, so you can customize the flavor of your taco a little bit more. Definitely will revisit! read more

If you know me in real life, you know how annoying I've been for the past few months about how DC doesn't have decent tacos. So imagine my surprise, when I met my Mahjong pals at La Cosecha, and all of a sudden, I caught a whiff of ACTUAL legitimate Mexican food. Yes, not all Mexican food is tacos, but tacos are life. I do not exaggerate when I say I went around the whole food court trying to find that smell, and I found it at Apapacho. To me, all their tacos are amazing. They have a "serve yourself" salsa bar that will not disappoint. Whether you are looking for the mildest green salsa or the spiciest habanero, you'll find something to suit you. The tortillas, which are homemade, and nixtamalized in-house are delicious, but inconsistent. Some days they are perfectly soft, and other days they are dry and tough. STILL- I would argue that this is the best taco in town. The service is friendly and efficient, and if you are lucky, maybe you can catch the owner at the counter. He always seems happy to explain the menu or give a recommendation. read more

Awesome tacos, don't sleep on the breakfast options. The tacote is amazing, pairs well with the Monopolio IPA.

Came to the opening day for lunch and I am coming back for dinner! Got 3 tacos: asada, shrimp, and sudadero and I can't decide which is my favorite because they were all delicious! Their Rosa de Jamaica y pure perfection, low in sweetness and slightly sour (in a good way). They also have the best arroz en leche I've ever had, and I have to say I make a pretty good arroz en leche myself! Staff are super friendly and welcoming. Just loved the place and wish them success! read more

Taco spot located in the Union market district. Minimal decor for the fast causal spot. Service was quick but the tacos unfortunately lacked flavor and the tortillas were tough and dry. We had the shrimp tacos and asada. The shrimp was overcooked and covered with an overwhelming amount of slaw. I should not that I tried previously and the tacos tasted better but it seems to be inconsistent. read more

Cool new spot! Very nice workers and ambiance for the size/location. Very solid selection of tacos. Had the shrimp, chorizo, al pastor, and carnitas. They all were delicious! Perfectly tender and the toppings were complimentary. The blue corn tortillas were also a nice touch. I love that this spot makes their own sauces in house and puts them on the side for you to serve yourself. As a sauce guy, I love this lol. Can't wait to try the breakfast tacos! read more

Replacing a taco shop once visited by President Biden, Apapacho Taqueria is inside La Cosecha, a market with Latin American makers. The menu hangs on the wall and it's easy to order. My daughter ordered their cheese quesadilla and I the one with pineapple, meat, and more. If you want more flavor, use the salsas on the counter. Some are spicy! My wife enjoyed their al pastor tacos, though the filling was generous causing the tacos to fall apart. read more

Unbelievably good. Best street tacos in the city. The suadero, shrimp and asada tacos stand out. Cheap happy hour deals for margaritas and beer make it all the better. read more

Solid & tasty tacos and other fixings, but small portions for the prices. The staff was mostly nice but also seemed to mostly ignore me as a customer even though I ordered two rounds of food. Overall I'd say very similar experience to La Neta in Stockholm, but for twice the price. I wouldn't rush back. read more
