The tacos here were pretty good and made fresh to order which I always appreciate. I got the Al pastor, steak and chorizo. All of them were flavorful and delicious, I think for me the tortilla tasted a bit off and not the kind I'm use to. I also got their ceviche and it was kind of dry and not very flavorful, so I think I will not get that if I come here the next time. I'm gonna probably stick with my taco spot since it's cheaper than here and tastes better. read more

I have seldom been disappointed by a tiny taqueria- this was no exception! We had asada and pastor tacos, both were excellent, served FULL with cucumbers and radishes. The storefront is small but they give you a pager so you can wait in your vehicle if you want. It was very quick. We also had horchata which was huge, well spiced, and sweet. read more

After reading all the great reviews, I was underwhelmed when I tried it. We got Asada (steak), Al Pastor (pork), and Chicharron (pork skin) Pupusa. They had good flavors but were greasy yet not crispy. I really enjoyed the slaw tho, crunch, salty and tangy. The salsa was alright, not too spicy. $4 per and 2 will definitely fill you up. But honestly, the pupusas were just alright and the best dish I got was the fried plantains. They were soft, melting in your mouth and sweet. They were served with mashed beans (kinda different from refried beans, less flavors but very good) and some cream (i guess it was sour cream but the color was pink-ish so not so sure). $9.50 for the sizable portion which is best for share. The food was served in plastics since there isn't any indoor seatings. There are around 6 tables outside and most of the orders are takeouts. Quick service. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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 read more

Tacos Acapulco - One of each. Carne Asada, Al Pastor, Chorizó with all the trimmings. - Mexican Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Go there for the tasty tacos and burritos and don't expect much from the decor or surrounding area. It is in a shady area on Colfax...when I went there and ate outside on their patio, there was a woman yelling profanity at another woman crossing the street. Anyways the tacos and burritos were very tasty for a decent price. If I come back, I'll probably just order to go and eat at home. read more

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. read more

I love the food pager system. I had the chorizo pupusa and my bf had the chorizo burrito. The chorizo was packed with flavor. We have wanted to try yall for several years and saw the Westward reviews and finally decided tonight was the night, we were not disappointed. read more

Awesome food. Could not think of a better late night place to get street tacos and probably the best pupusas I have had in Denver. Staff made everything on the spot. read more

Place was clean, and the tacos were decent. Nothing worth writing home about, but certainly not bad at all. Had the chorizo, al pastor, asada and pollo. I usually prefer Al pastor, but the chorizo was really nice and the revuelta con todos pupusa. As a concept I'm a huge fan and they gave some slaw and fermented veggies they were tasty. It was Ok. No super rush to go back, but I may have built it up too much in my mind driving by it all the time and seeing the super high reviews. If I go back I'll update my review. Little strange in that you order and then sit in your car awaiting them bringing out your order unless you sit on their patio. I felt fine (I'm also a decent sized dude) but could see how someone may feel a bit nervous just sitting in your car with some of the sketchy people around east Colfax. read more

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) read more

I really wanted to love this place but unfortunately the food was underwhelming. I ordered an Asada burrito, seven Asada tacos, and one Loroco Pupusa for my family and I. I had the Asada burrito. It was wrapped in an uncooked flour tortilla and turned soggy almost immediately during my ten minute commute home. The meat does not taste like Asada. I believe they just cooked it over the stove with regular cooking oil. The burrito also had a bunch of rice and only a sliver of meat. Sorry for leaving a bad review! I hope this is an opportunity for the business to improve more than anything else. read more

Really great pupusas. Chicken is my favorite. I also like the tacos. Served simply. Call ahead and pick up.

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. read more

I've been here several times with friends because I can't get enough of the pupusas , They are absolutely delicious! It is a small little restaurant, but it really packs a punch in flavor. I highly recommend this place if you enjoy tacos, pupusas, and a great experience!!! Dan & Lexi read more

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. read more

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 read more

One of my new favorite spots for street tacos or pupusas! I've been twice so far; once during early quarantine and once about a month ago. I randomly get cravings for their fried plantains... even when they're not fully ripe. Fortunately, the employees are honest if their vegetables and fruits aren't ripe yet. Thank you for your candor. I also appreciate their social distancing protocols. You are able to wait in your cars with a number for your dash and they'll bring your order straight to you. In addition, dining is available on their outdoor benches. read more

Let me start of by saying I love Mexican food. Eat it a lot. However.... I don't hand out 5 Stars for any old burrito. This place earned it hands down. The menu is simple tacos, burritos, home made papusas all looked and smelled appetizing I went for my go to, a carnitas burritos. It comes with rice, beans, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes and salsa. Personally i don't think "salad items" don't belong in a burrito so I excluded the lettuce and tomatoes. It was awesome. Awesome Awesome Friendly service and great prices. Even had the medio-litro Mexican coke. Nothing could compliment the burrito better with the exception of a good tequila... which obviously they don't have. Go there you'll thank me later read more

It's so good. Their papusas are amazing! I always get rajas con queso. All of them are delicious though.

This place is not your typical taco al pastor shop. Pupusa is a traditional Salvadoran dish made of corn tortilla stuffed with filings inside. They consistently serve tacos, burritos, and horchata. But you came here to eat 'Pupusas Revuelta Con Todo' get it and you will go home happy! read more

Best street tacos in Denver. Awesome spot for takeout - fresh, super authentic and reasonable...and a friendly staff!

Super good. Highly recommended. Handmade papusas and amazing al pastor. If you have the chance, go here.

Being Salvadoran, I'm always in search for good pupusas. This place is definitely the best place for them in Denver! The place is small and there is no indoor dining (only picnic tables outside). We prefer to call ahead of time and pick up our food since parking is also pretty limited. The ladies that make the food make it pretty quickly and it's always hot and fresh off the stove! My favorite pupusas are the cheese ones and I also like the chicken & cheese ones + Price is on point ($2.25 for a pupusa is pretty standard) + Taste is delicious (they don't break apart easily which can happen if they aren't cooked long enough) + Curtido (the cole slaw) and the salsas are tasty, too (don't be afraid to try them!). read more

What happen to this place? If you want to get Sick go here! They gave me tacos al pastor and the meat was old and smelled weird! (FISHY) I ate the tacos because i was on my work lunch time and did not have time to return the food and go somewhere else. Later at night i had a very bad stomach ache and diarrea all night. read more

Good tacos; among the best I've had in the Denver metro. Tacos is simple. Meat, onion cilantro on corn tortillas. Salsa, cabbage slaw, radishes and cucumbers on the side. I ordered a mix of carne asada and pork carnitas tacos. Pork was well braised, tender and moist. Don't expect to dine in at this place. You order inside but there is no indoor seating. The outside patio has about five picnic tables. I like that they have an outdoor sink so you can wash your hands before handling tacos . The only item I didn't enjoy was the red salsa, a bit runny...but that just a personal preference. Green salsa was okay . read more

This is my go to for Pupusas and shrimp tacos. I've been coming back for 15 years, enough said.

East Colfax Taco Tour UYE! Sunday October 30th 2011 3RD STOP, The FINAL STOP of East Colfax Taco Tour UYE : Tacos Acapulco. Tiny Tiny establishment. You order at the counter, and make sure you get a "ticket" and remember your order. There are like 3 or 4 stools if you dedcide and can have your tacos eating in. You also can seat outside or either have your order to go coz that was my observation at other patrons that afternoon ordering from this Taco Stand. Since I was stuffed from the other eateries, I decide to order just one. I cant recall what I order. Was it tripa or was it lengua? All in all 3 stars for this Taco Stand, and I dont mind returning with Hubs and see how or if my review might differ. read more

Love love love those pupusas revueltas or loroco con queso mmm delicioso! Must preorder otherwise you'll have to wait.

There is nothing like a steaming hot cheesy papusa. I hadn't planned on eating here today but when a screw in my tire brought me to this side of town, Papusas became a reality for me! This is a tiny store with a big following. The sounds of Papusas being slapped together, with a sizzling grill and delicious smells wafting throughout create a mouth watering experience. I waited a while for my two raja Papusas with beans and rice. When I got them they were cheesy crispy happy on a plate. The cabbage slaw was tangy and perfect with the tomato sauce and papusa. The beans and rice were also perfect and my absolute favorite kind of rice. This is an out of the way place for me but I would definitely come back. read more

This is a locals-only spot. The pupusas are the star of the show here. You can order a la carte or choose from one of several upgrades. Tacos are street style. They come with radish/lime/salsa verde/tapatio on the side. Burritos are fat like pug puppies. You can try to pick them up but it's less messy if you just cut into them. Not my cup of tea me when it comes to burritos but they are good. The place isn't clean so don't go with expectations. Parking is limited. 6 stools at the counter and 6 tables on the patio. You'll be hard-pressed to find a better fast-food option. Caliente... read more
