    Shrimp tacos with Baja sauce
    Malika Z.

    Food: everything tasted great. Shrimp tacos had great flavor the roasted salsa added a nice addition of flavor. Chicken enchiladas with rice and beans were also good but didn't really stand out. Quesobirria tacos with consume was also really good. Definitely needed the toppings and salsa to add flavor but the crunch from the taco dipped into the consome definitely hit the spot. They offered 5 different salsas and had them ranked from least to most spicy, the roasted one was my favorite. Jamaica was on the sour side and I prefer mine to be a little sweeter. Cucumber lemonade was refreshing and had basil seeds in there as well. Service: total came out to $47. Food came out fast. Everyone was super nice. Cashier was well informed of the menu and explained the different plates offered. Ambiance: place was clean. Pretty small in size with 2 tables seating 4 and a bar top on the perimeter of the restaurant. You could see and hear the cooks which made it feel homey and authentic.

    Stopped in for a quick lunch on Saturday. We ordered the Birria tacos, and shrimp tacos. I like the peppers in the shrimp tacos. The birria tacos were good too. The service was fast and friendly and the pricing is good. The seating was limited due to it being a smaller location. Overall, give this location a 3.5 of 5.

    In San Antonio and it is late, family hungry and this place had great pictures, but was the food good? It was excellent! Salsa was super fresh and the food was hot! The cheese pull on the birria quesadillas stole the show, and the flavors were superb. Our dasher was fast and on time. Check them out! 11/10!

    It was like fire soup. Asada fries sat

    Finally got around to trying the food here. Overall not too bad. The service was great, the staff were super nice, and the food came out quick. We had the birria caldo, shrimp mini tacos, and asada fries. Let's start with the caldo. Love the dish ware. It was overall decent. I think all birria should have a kick to it. This one didn't, but it was actually quite tasty and not over salted like most places in town. It also came with yellow corn tortillas, which match PERFECTLY with birria. Good portion too. My son's mini tacos were good. The only issue was some of the tacos had more pepper than actual shrimp. The most disappointing dish was the asada fries. The reason was the cheese sauce they used was watery. The fries at the bottom turned to mush. Not very pleasant or what you expect from fries. Just change the sauce and you have something. The asada portion was good. It was just very un appetizing as is. Almost forgot we also ordered ceviche. It was just ok. Again it just was missing the kick and lacked any punch. The one thing we all agreed on was the sauces helped TREMENDOUSLY with all the dishes. Amazing sauces! It was affordable and was above average in flavor. We may come back to try more of the menu except the fries.

    Veggie Loaded Nachos without cheese, as requested.
    Lillian S.

    The best veggie nachos ever! I love nachos; I don't eat meat or dairy. Wapo Taco has great food. You can bet the nachos with meat and cheese will be off the chart, if that's your preference. They have great breakfast tacos and offer a variety of Mexican food for lunch and dinner. I ordered the Veggie Loaded Nachos. They come with Home-made chips topped with vegan beans, grilled zucchini, squash, onions, bell peppers, loads of cheese, and topped with sour cream and avocado slices. I ordered them WITHOUT cheese and WITHOUT sour cream. I requested pickled jalapeños and shredded lettuce on top. They were perfect!!! It's a small place; so, they do a lot of drive through business. There is inside seating.

    Mini Tacos
    Marcella Z.

    I've ordered from Wapo Taco for a couple of years now and have never had any issues. I will admit I've never been inside and either Door Dash or go through the drive thru. My food has always been delicious! Today I ordered the mini asada tacos with avocado. They were bomb! The meat was flavorful and hit the spot. Definitely give them a try!

    First time here on a friends recommendation and boy will I never come here again. The service was terrible. Standing here for decoration while the drive through and DoorDash get taken out almost immediately. I only ordered 2 tacos with no drink and had to wait and watch many bigger orders get taken and given out. I'm very dissatisfied with the service here and want to leave but unfortunately I already paid and have to wait for my food to come out whenever that is

    Ceviche
    Amanda K.

    When the heat in San Antonio hits the 100s, I get a craving for ceviche!! What is better than salty tortilla chips and cool ceviche (fish, Pico and avacado) to cool you right down. Waco knows how to do ceviche right. Just the right amount of acid and the spicy sauce that is optional sends it out of this world. Chops nice and light but crispy. Fantastic place to beat the heat. And with a convenient drive-thru window so it's quick to take on the go. Thanks for a wonderful dining experience.

    Bacon and egg taco with "extra" bacon apparently.

    We are consistent customers but after today not anymore. 4 out of 7 tacos ordered at the drive thru were wrong. Wapo taco thinks 1 strip of bacon is "extra" apparently. When called about the problem, the manager wanted us to drive 5 miles back to the location for the missing items with no care about the inconvenience or ruining our breakfast. So fair warning, check your tacos before you leave if you modified it. Better off going to bill miller's who will replace the entire item they messed up and take responsibility for the inconvenience.

    Chorizo Burrito
    Sarah S.

    Ordered via Grubhub. Food was so good and the portion was huge! My first time eating here and I will definitely be ordering again.

    Receipt
    Maria L.

    Got enchiladas for under ten bucks. Drive thru is convenient. Cashier didn't understand that Chile rellenos can come with just cheese. She insisted I choose a "meat". So I changed my order to enchiladas. I'm from the north and we don't normally eat chile rellenos with meat, just chihuahua cheese. Since she didn't understand, I didn't trust that it would come out correctly.

    Party of 2 on Monday 1730…read more OVERALL Great service, great food, great ambiance. SERVICE Seated right away. Mario was our kind and happy server. He provided great recommendations. He checked us often and refilled our waters often. CHIPS AND SALSA Complimentary. Tortilla chips are freshly made, oil it was cooked in tasted well, and the salsa was flavorful with roasted ingredients. FLOUR TORTILLA Very fresh, the right amount of salt and moisture, hot, toasted perfectly, just the right thickness, and teared apart very well. CHALUPA COMBO The chalupa was made with a typical crispy tortilla. Placed next to the enchilada so it made it a bit difficult to grab since one half of the chalupa got soggy. EL RANCHO SPECIAL Recommended by Mario. Selected beef tips. The beef was very tender and flavorful, the sauce was flavorful with spice and savory, the rice/beans were well seasoned and flavorful. The guacamole/lettice/cheese was placed into a taco shell. The guacamole was very fresh and had a great texture with varying chunks of avocado. ENCHILADA POBLANO The shredded chicken was juicy and well seasoned. The poblano mole sauce was mildly creamy, tasted of delicious poblanos, seasoned well, and added a refreshing contrast to the savory chicken filling. The pickled onions were a refreshing addition and had a great snap to them. AMBIANCE Feels like we were in a home. The place is decorated vibrantly. The decorations were also very bright and clean.

It needed a spicier sauce but deff would go back for this.

That really makes a difference for a family outing! And oh my goodness, the appetizers are simply fantastic. We couldn't get enough! I also have to give a special shout-out to the Carrajillo I ordered. It was such a delightful surprise - perfectly balanced, not overly sweet, with a lovely citrusy kick that made it incredibly refreshing. Definitely a new favorite drink! We're already looking forward to our next visit to explore more of amazing menu. Just a little heads-up for anyone else, we realized on our way out that there's an extra parking lot right across the street if the main one fills up. Super handy to know!

It was delicious! The concha was soft, buttery and flaky, with just the right sweetness. We took home the majority of it and it stayed nice and soft instead of turning hard like so many others. We decided to try several appetizers to go along with our concha to get a wider taste of their food than we would by just ordering a couple entrees. Let me tell you, this was a great idea! We ordered the Tosti-Ceviche Verde, Panela Asado, Mexican Street Corn, and their Spicy Bean Dip. The Ceviche Verde was excellent, the freshness of the fish and shrimp was wonderful with the chipotle mayo and avocado. We chose to have it on the salsa Verde Tostitos and it was all great combination. The Panelo Asado was a completely new dish for us and was extremely good with a savory flavor from the salsa Tlaquepaque that mixed well with the Panela cheese. Their tortillas though not made in house, are made for them and taste like mom made them. The Mexican Street Corn was great and had the perfect bit of char taste from the corn. It was creamy and flavorful, we did think it could use just a tad more lime juice though. The Spicy Bean Dip was very good. You can't go wrong with Oaxaca, Chorizo, and pieces of pork mixed with some mildly spicy beans. Our server was fantastic. She had great recommendations for us, and was quick with checking on our drinks and generally helping us throughout our dinner. The food was prepared quickly, was hot, tasteful and refreshing. We definitely will be going back, and recommend Pan Fila to all of you.
