    Sorry, I started eating lol
    Brian H.

    I can't say enough great things about Wapos! If I could give it 10 I would. First the service is amazing, all servers jump in and help out. There is not one person that won't stop by and make sure everything is "bueno" Did I mention the salsa? Always consistent and served in a large bowl ready for a full chip to fit in. It is in my humble opinion the best I've had in years and I eat Mexican out weekly. I'm in the Brighton area that is known for Mexican and they don't hold a candle to Wapos! Food quality is excellent and presentation beautiful! I have been three times and super impressed by food presentation, service, and taste! I also not have one desire and that is my meal as amazing as it was wasn't accompanied by beans n rice. Not a big deal as I didn't finish everything but miss that bit of the meal.

    Tasty spot in a strip center in Thornton. We met some friends there, and service was friendly. Chips and salsa were respectable. I had the shrimp fajitas, which were delicious. My wife also liked her soft tacos. Prices were reasonable as well. We'd stop in again next time we're in the area.

    I was seated quickly and provided a drink promptly. I sat outside on the patio and it was perfect for the hot summer afternoon. I tried to enchiladas with verde sauce and they were delicious. And the chips and salsa? Fire! Was pleasantly surprised by this place!

    Absolutely excellent food and even better service. Emilio is definitely one of the best servers I've ever had. He is so welcoming and fun and nice, he made the experience better for sure. We will 100% be back to this location. The restaurant is very clean and beautiful and cozy. If I could give this place more stars I would. Please come experience it for yourself, it will be worth it I promise.

    I ate here when it was La Fugota, no noticeable changes. Food was good , service was very good. My friend had 3 enchilada plate, it looked really good. I'll probably come back another day!

    Cold as Phuck Cheese Enchilada's with no sauce.

    I literally just left there, I live 5 miles from the Thornton restaurant. This food is pure SHIT! It is cold, no enchilada sauce on 3 enchiladas and about a tablespoon of retried beans and 2 tablespoons of rice. The order is wrong!!! I also ordered queso and guacamole...the queso is so salty my wife thru it out. The guacamole is so buried under days old tomatoes that we thru it out because it looked spoiled!!! I ordered 2 cheese & onion enchiladas and the cheese is not melted in the corn tortilla...this place should be shut down!! I went over my order 3 times with the guy and he still messed it up. My wife ordered crispy rellenos...no sauce & mushy!!! People, do not go here! This place is ran by amateurs and morons!!!! Check out the pictures.

    We almost walked out because it just looked like a bar, but around the corner were more tables. The menu look normal and decent prices so we stayed. Glad we did. The food was very good and we will go back. The chili con queso was a little bland and the salsa not my favorite, but not so spicy you couldn't eat it. The rice was perfect. Exactly as Spanish rice should taste like. We sat in the front bar area and the tables were short and the seating was like a couch and living room chairs. Great for a date or just having a relaxing meal.

    We heard about Itacate from a friend of ours and we had to stop by for lunch - especially when we…read morelearned it's only 7 min away. We spoke with David and learned about their food and how much love they put in each dish. They have only been opened for 2 years. Service is friendly and the restaurant is very clean and modern. The food was phenomenal and Itacate is added to our list now. For starters, the fresada was delicious. It is a strawberry lemonade. I also ordered a Mango version to go. Very refreshing. We started off with the Queso Fundido with chorizo. It was hot and the cheese was just so good and stretchy. Such a nice find - we don't see it on menus in Colorado so must try. We ordered several tacos - birria, cochinita, shrimp, and fish. Every taco was delicious and full of flavor on its own. The rice and beans were also very well made. Each bite just bursts in flavor. David was kind enough to also let us try the Pambazo which is kind of like a torta but they grill it with the sauce on the outside. And if you put an egg in it, it can be fantastic breakfast sandwich. For dessert, we ordered the deditios con nieve which is funnel fries with sauce and coconut ice cream. It's deconstructed funnel cake essentially which my bf enjoyed because he can eat just the fries and ice cream. All in all, 10/10 experience. We will def be back

We both had a couple of tacos which were all delicious: 2 chicken, 1 shrimp and 1 fish. All of them were GF except the fish, due to the fish being breaded. The tortillas are deep fried which help them to hold together perfectly. The shrimp and chicken were both perfectly cooked and really flavorful. the cheese in all of them was delicious and gooey. They have a pretty big menu and we saw lots of delicious looking dishes floating by. Lots of vegetarian options too. (including potato tacos of which we ordered 2 to go and they were very well received). The service was great and very friendly. We will be back. Yum. The ambiance is nothing fancy but who cares when the food is so good!

We started off with queso fundido and two Aguas Frescas, the Jamaica and the Horchata. The drinks were delicious and refreshing and the queso fundido had a good flavor and was gigantic in fact, we ate almost the whole thing, and because we ate almost the whole thing we were already full by the time the rest of our food came out, but don't worry, dear reader we persevered. I got the steak fajitas and the meat was really yummy. The tortillas were perfect and their pico added just the right amount of spice. note for somebody who gets a lot of fajitas. There was no guacamole, sour cream or cheese. Just rice beans and pico, but I was happy. My table partner got Birria Xalisco. And said that the meet and consome was delicious and the blue masa cake might've been the best part. Wheelchair accessibility: there are several different seating options both inside and outside that work for a wheelchair user. The path of travel inside the restaurant is a little bit tight, and the path of travel back to the bathrooms is pretty tight and somebody with a larger chair might not be able to make it through. The bathroom door is super super heavy to where we had to have somebody else open it.
