I had a craving for mexican food and was looking for a restaurant to try. This place is tucked away in a sleepy shopping center, blink and you might miss it. Its very unassuming both inside and outside. I went during the week for a late lunch. The place was almost empty, just my table and two people at the bar. The interior was clean but had clutter in the corners. We were greeted by the only person there, I believe probably the owner or manager working as a server. They have a diverse menu. We ordered and they brought out chips and salsa. It wasn't bad, the salsa was a bit spicy for my taste. My seatmate order the chimichanga without the smothered green chile. My companion said it was good but there was something off-putting about the chicken, they felt like it was mix of pulled chicken and canned chicken. I ordered a choice special with chicken enchilada, beef tostada and rice and beans. Overall it wasn't bad. Everything tasted as expected. The chicken enchilada was a bit bland even with the red sauce. It tasted fresh, but was missing that exceptional restaurant quality that you want when you go out. read more

This was my first time eating here and it was great! I ordered the steak street tacos and wow! So good! It came with 4 tacos and no beans and rice, which was perfect since I don't usually eat the beans and rice. But the steak in the tacos was delicious and no fat!!!! I loved the toppings too along with the fresh guacamole! I will definitely be back! read more

Very expensive and under staffed. Came in randomly while taking an unusual route home after running errands. There was a US world cup game on so the crowd was great but from what I could tell, for about 50 patrons, there was only a bartender and one server. It was a hassle getting closed out for several of us. read more

To start with let me say that this place is a clean, attractive and comfortable place to dine. We were a party of four and we were greeted immediately and seated promptly. We ordered nachos as an appetizer and they were good as nachos go. I ordered crispy chili rellenos,others ordered fish tacos, carne asada burritos and a chili hangar. I have a fondness for chili rellenos and I have enjoyed and not enjoyed them in many restaurants. These rellenos were very good, crispy, tasty and with some green chili sauce on the side for dipping. Everyone in our party enjoyed their meal and really liked the ambiance. The service was on point without being intrusive. The quality and quantity of the food was worth the visit and I will be back. The prices are fair, good service, value, cleanliness and good foot. Hitting on all cylinders. read more

Hubby and I got takeout of Steak Fajitas, chips and a side of their salsa from their location on 112th and Federal. The employee helping us was marvelous.i would give that man a five stars in customer service. The portion was pretty large and the veggies fresh. The salsa was really tasty but the meat was bland . I like fajita meat to have spice added to it also. I would probably try something else on the menu next time. read more

I forgot to take pics of our food. Sorry, My mother and I went after seeing this place on TikTok , go figure right . I'll rate this on 3 things Food- good food, it was hot , not to spicy typical dishes nothing signature or that stood out to me. Chips and salsa were perfect for me but if you can not handle spicy salsa do not try it. Service- top notch ! I hope they never change Location- this place is small. The decor is modern and fun. Open concept that is split one side with comfy tables which are to close to each other. I left they are trying to maximize the seating area. The other half is more a bar filling with a tv and high tables. My opinion get ride of that and add more space and tables. Overall if this place is not crowded it's a cute and fun time. Crowded I feel it will be chaotic. I will continue to visit read more

We have been going to Wapos in Boulder for years. The food was always extraordinary. Especially the Pastor. When they opened closer to home, we were excited. However, after a couple of visits, we are extremely disappointed. The food is nothing like the Boulder location. It is bland and without character. Tonight, the chicken was very very dry, the torrillas seemed a fewdays old. They weren't just dry, they were crispy. This is just another example of expanding killing quality. What a total bummer. The service has been great, but the kitchen needs some serious improvements. Sorry. read more

From delicious egg breakfasts to the mouthwatering street side tacos, this restuarant never misses! Coming in at $16 one of my fav dishes is the DF street side tacos with bacon and steak and mushrooms they are just incredible and considering the portion size of 4 tacos your likely to leave feeling satisfied and satiated. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere fast service and friendly staff on top of that but the food is what I'm sure you come here to read about. read more

The staff is incredibly friendly, attentive and all around a joy!

Our plates were cleared (rare occasion for us). So many different things ordered at our table and all 5 guests were happy with full bellies. Our 12 year old is a hard sell, she was so happy and can't wait to return. This was our 3rd time at Wapo's and we will forever come back!

Delighted to have this new restaurant in our neighborhood. The food is excellent and authentic but not among the best. The margarita was watery and the food was good, but not outstanding. The staff was exceptionally good. Another downside is that the Cerveza is served from bottles and not the tap. The wine list is basically almost nonexistent and does not offer varieties that work well with Mexican food. The owner is relational, good hearted and management comes to your table. We definitely will be back and hope that some improvements be vague in these other areas. read more

The broth was deep and aromatic and the portion size, especially with the beef rib, was massive. Everything was so impressive that since that visit, this place has been on my regular rotation for pho. Beside Pho, they have a few other offerings, one of which is rather unique. For the more adventurous, Faifo offers a spicy beef pho. This is a dry-style pho serves with all the fixin' and a spicy sate style sauce that makes for an amazing meal on a hot day. It also comes with a bowl of pho broth for satisfying sips between bites. This is easily one of my favorite dish on the menu and a must try here. Beside that, I've also had their Bun Bo Hue, which is pretty dang tasty. The broth is very tasty, though not as funky or spicy as ones I've had in Vietnam. Nonetheless, it's a mighty tasty bowl and something to get for the colder days here in Denver. Both the Bo Kho and the Banh Canh are also very good as well, though not a must compared to other dishes on the menu. Overall, Faifo is a great Vietnamese restaurant. The value is also tremendous given the portion size. This is an easy 4/5 for me.

Their bò kho definitely reminds me of my father's recipe, which is rich and not overly sweet. This aromatic Vietnamese beef stew is a fragrant broth infused with lemongrass, star anise, and spices. It's a bowl of distinct and complex flavor profile that balances savory, sweet, spicy notes, with a vibrant brick-red color from the annatto seeds. The cuts of beef shank, flank, and chuck were soft so you know they spent hours simmering to achieve this level of tenderness. The deep beef profile is highlighted when adding bean sprouts, Thai basil, lime juice to cut through the richness and carrots provided a natural sweetness to the savory broth. Bánh canh is a Vietnamese noodle soup featuring thick, chewy noodles made from tapioca flour, rice flour, or a mix, served in a flavorful broth with various toppings like pork, shrimp, crab, or fish cake. The broth is clean from the hours of simmering bones to create a savory, collagen-rich base. You can taste the freshness of the soup garnished with fresh cilantro, green onions, fried shallots, lime, and chili oil. Plus you get a boat load of proteins and garnishes - shrimp cake, imitation crab meat, shrimp, quail egg, mushroom, tapioca noodle, onion, cilantro and black pepper. We'll be back and try the bún bò huế and cá ri.

Our bill for a Chicago dog, a pastrami sandwich and a Cuban sandwich with one order of fries and 3 drinks came to over $50 which is stupid pricey IMHO. There were at least 5 people working behind the counter and our order came out fairly fast. I felt the sandwiches were very skimpy on the meat and nothing came with a side included. The Cuban sandwich was underwhelming and not much flavor. If you want a wonderful deli sandwich go to The Bagel Deli off Hampden and I-25. The absolute best in my opinion.

We each ordered a skillet, I had the chili relleno skillet with chicken and pancakes for the side and they must be putting magic in those pancakes because they were special. I'm not a big pancake person and I couldn't get enough. They were fluffy and yet they didn't fall apart and I could taste the vanilla they use in the batter. The skillet was massive and delicious and the rellenos were crisp all topped with a hearty portion of expertly prepared green chili. My husband had a different skillet and modified it to add extra proteins and also the rellenos. They were happy to accommodate. What a fabulous brunch experience! I wish I lived closer! I would certainly be a regular! This place is fabulous!!!!!

And, my, oh my, as soon as we parked, we saw the line. Thank goodness, these folks were on their game and despite a decently long line to be seated, they were able to get us in pretty quickly and continued to do so with others, throughout our entire visit. This is teamwork at its best - front and back of the house killing it. We ordered brunch cocktails (bloody mary and mimosa), shared one of their seasonal specials (churro french toast) and had entrees (chilaquiles and crispy rellenos & eggs). Yes, before you think it, yes, we ordered way too much food but took some home with us. Service was really great - fast and cooked to order. Our server checked on us often but not so much that we felt rushed (despite seeing all the folks waiting to be seated, lol). It was a great meal that we'd drive back for. Brunch House has a great vibe - a bit of an upscale diner feel with really elevated food. We will def return in the fall and maybe sit outside. Do yourself a favor, add them to your short list.

I've been to other location in the U.S. before, so I placed an order online first pickup. It said it would be ready in 12 min, so I walked over with my dogs. When I arrived, I called the host stand to see if they could bring it out to me (that way I wouldn't need to figure out tying the dogs somewhere) and they were nice enough to bring it out. I ordered a latte and a breakfast sandwich (the Sandwich I Am), which came with hash browns. When I opened the package, it looked like the sandwich had been deconstructed (it possibly shifted when I was walking home), so I quickly put it back together. It was tasty, but nothing out of this world. Pretty standard Snooze food!

Woody's Wings N Things

I wish I had found this place sooner!…read more If you like wings or Asian food, this spot is a must. We tried four different dishes, and every one of them was excellent. The restaurant has an old-school, no-frills vibe, and honestly, that's part of its charm. The staff is friendly and attentive, though they can get busy--and for good reason. Great food, generous portions, and reasonable prices are a combination that keeps the place packed. Definitely worth checking out. I'll be back! Happy eating!!

When I asked for a recommendation, he responded with clear irritation and attitude. When I placed my order, he shook his head and displayed obvious negative body language, as if taking my order was a problem. This wasn't subtle--it was blatant disrespect. I addressed it calmly, and instead of correcting himself, he became even more dismissive and defensive. Thankfully, the owner apologized and was very kind. However, this kind of behavior from a server is completely unacceptable. No customer should be treated with that level of disrespect.

But as luck would have it, today, I drove right by and decided to stop in. I didn't expect a big dining room with two sides, but they had or the giant window into the kitchen that lets you see them pressing the Fresh made corn tortillas. That was a special treat. They were very patient with us as we brought our dog inside and told us as long as he doesn't fart and serve the other customers they had no problem with him being there :) We tried some of the tacos and the Horchata Agua Fresca. Everything was delicious, I originally asked for their recommendation on which tacos to get and he said you can't go wrong, so I opted for one El Pastor one Carne Asada, and one birria taco add cheese. Everything was so good, the perfect balance of flavors and very generous portion - these tacos were stuffed! They also have an awesome salsa and topping bar with tons of options and a serve yourself format with little containers and lids. At $3.50 per taco this is a super reasonable place for a bite and I'll definitely be back anytime I'm near Westminster.

Wapo's Cantina was amazing! We shared the combo fajitas, carnitas street tacos, rellenos, and a quesadilla--every single dish was packed with flavor and cooked perfectly. You can really taste the freshness and care in each bite. The staff was just as impressive--friendly, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcome. The atmosphere is trendy and vibrant, with a cool, modern vibe that adds to the experience. Just a heads-up: many of the tables are low to the ground, which might be a bit uncomfortable if you have back or knee issues, but there are a few standard-height tables available too. Can't wait to go back! read more

This place is a gem! The interior is absolutely beautiful, and the seating is super comfortable with plenty of TVs to catch the game. I can't wait to come back during the summer months! Monday is happy hour all day, which is such a bonus. The salsa was incredible, and the food was even better--my husband loved his fajitas, and my carne asada plate was perfect. We left so happy and completely stuffed! Plus, our waiter was so charismatic and made the experience even better. So so excited to have this spot so close to home! read more
