    This place is known for their pupusas but they're meh. Al pastor and asada fillings are ok, but chicharron filling is weird. It's not what I expect it to taste like. It tastes more like finely shredded pork with heavy seasonings. All pupusas are very greasy, you can see the oil dripping on the parchment line paper. Each pupusa order comes with coleslaw which is very refreshing and delicious. It adds a nice crunch and cut through the richness of the pupusas. Fried plantain is also delicious. It's a bit odd that it was served with sour cream and refried beans, but whatever. This small restaurant is mainly for to-go orders. No seating area indoor. There's a seating area outdoor with limited tables and chairs, covered by umbrellas. Overall it was not very good - all because of the oily pupusas which makes it so heavy to digest.

    Months I've been driving past this place and finally had some time to go in. It's a teeny tiny place. I mean 3-4 people max. This is a 1st for me where you order, they give a number, and you wait in the car for delivery. There's outside dining area, but nothing inside. The carne asada tacos were delicious. We also had the chicken torta for the kids and that left untouched.

    This place is awesome! Little shack on the side of Colfax with a tight parking lot. No indoor seating but there is a outdoor side patio. Very smart of them and you'll understand why in the next couple of sentences. The food here is banging! I ordered the Pupusas De Asada and Al Pastor Burrito and although I was farting my way through each bite, I was loving it. Pupusas so fluffy and crispy and the burrito was loaded. The Al Pastor was so delicious I'll probably get double next time with less rice and beans. I'm still farting as I type this, but wow, this place is a must go.

    One of each.  Carne Asada, Al Pastor, Chorizó with all the trimmings.

    Spectacular. Magnifique. Simple, wholesome tacos in this hole in the wall establishment that serves authentic quality tacos with all of the trimmings. Al Pastor is their specialty, closely followed by juicy carne asada and spicy chorizo. The tortillas must be hand made or made that day - so warm and fresh. At $3 a taco you get quality and a decent portion. Looking forward to another excuse to be in the neighbor hood to stop by and have a little slice of Al Pastor-ness Goodness #YUM

    This place is luckily nearby. They prepare everything fresh right in front of you. The meat is superior...all of it. The veggies are prepared fresh for every order. All of their sauces & salsas are unique and delicious ...but can vary in heat day to day depending of course on the fresh peppers involved. Tacos, burritos , and papusas are the main items. If you've never tried a papusa they say this is the spot. I like the cheese one myself. I also recommend the smothered burrito...their meat is better than the most expensive Mexican restaurants I have tried. I really can't give any other suggestions other than go in your first time to see just how clean & fresh the food is.

    Food is insanely good! I enjoyed the cheese papusa, and Al pastor and shrimp tacos. You can tell this place is amazing because it's filled with locals. Only downside for me was that the salsa was too spicy (I can only tolerate mild salsa) but it was still really good without any sauce. No indoor seating so we ended up eating in our car (we don't live nearby and didn't want the food to be cold)

    Was told that the al pastor tacos here were the best - but I come from San Diego, so that is a big claim. Decided to try them out and ehh.. not as great as SD, but for Denver I think they were decent. The pineapple was a good touch. Also tried the pupusas and they were yummy. A little over priced in my opinion.

    Look no further for your plátanos maduros cravings. An order here comes with 2 thoroughly ripened plátanos fried with lots of crispy caramelization. Pupusas are very yummy--give loroco, a green edible flower, a try as it pairs great with the melty cheese. Wash it all down with some horchata.

    Al Pastor Pupusa!

    Seeking to satisfy my taco craving I made my way to the 'Fax and Tacos Acapulco for some street taco goodness! ++ Prices are on point! ++ Both the tacos and the pupusas are phenominal! I noshed on the tacos de camaron and an al pastor pupusa! Sooo tasty! ++ Service is pretty darn quick; making it a great lunch spot! ++ While the space is small and a little divey looking on the outside; inside it's very modern and clean! Tacos Acapulco was def what my taco obsessing self ordered! I know I will be back!! #tacosarelife

    They open at 9am, is there breakfast burritos or do they offer their whole menu at this time?

    I have always been able to order their whole menu. I am unsure if they have breakfast burritos as I have never thought to order breakfast burritos from them. I usually get pupusas

    When dining in, are there tableware that is not styrofoam or plastic?

    From what I saw, there is not any sort of cutlery or dining china. When the food is done, they give it to you over the counter in styrofoam. It's really a very very small place so there isn't tons of space to dine-in to begin with. Hope that's… Read more

Pupusas are thick, stuffed corn masa filled with things like cheese, beans, pork, fish and grilled. We started with the curtido, which is the traditional Salvadoran pickled cabbage slaw. Tangy, crunchy relish made from finely shredded cabbage, carrots, pickled in vinegar. Our party of two decided to share the mixto. This hit the right spot because it had everything from savory to sweet and more. Two pupusas, fried yuca, banana leaf tamale, sweet corn tamale, fried plantain, plantain empanada, savory empanada, sour cream and cheese. For those looking for a little spice in their lives, you can pick your poison. Watch for this salsas, you've been warned. Stop in and experience the taste of El Salvador!

The place is small but definitely cozy and inviting. The staff are kind and treat you like family. The food was absolutely amazing and some of the best I've had in a long time. The pupusa was perfectly balanced, it wasn't under or over stuffed. The tamal was perfectly sweet and was balanced out by the saltiness of the crema it was served with. The maracuya tastes just like back in Miami. Next time I'm in Colorado I'm making it my mission to stop by here again.
