So crazy we've been going to the chiropractor next door for a while and never popped in here because we were seriously missing out! We dined in on a random Wednesday night. There were a bunch of carry out ordered but other than that we had the place to ourselves. We ordered a shrimp and beef taco, a shrimp quesadilla and a a beef tostada. Everything came out piping hot and was sooooo good. Lots of flavor even before we added the red and green salsa. Definitely will be back! read more

Diamond in the rough taqueria nestled inside a small corner strip mall. Acapulco offers a simple menu but do not let the brief menu turn you astray, the tacos are delicious. I ordered the Pollo taco and Quesabirria tacos. I wanted to get the al pastor taco but, unfortunately, they were sold out and marinating the meat for it for tomorrow. The tacos I did get were delicious. It was evident all of the ingredients were fresh. They also gave me two salsas for the tacos. One red and one green. The red one was spicy but delicious. This one was great for the pollo taco. For the quesabirria tacos, it came with a cup of the birria broth. These tacos were incredible. They were a bit messy but what good food isn't. For the price and quality, these tacos are a steal. This is not a big sit down spot so it is best to get grab and go. read more

Hmm... about a 3.5. As many previous reviews noted, they used to be awesome, closed down to renovate, and are now freshly re-opened. Not knowing any of this, I walked inside expecting a restaurant and found just a takeout counter, about a third the size of what the establishment used to be. There were a couple of outside picnic tables you could sit at, but clearly this is now only a to-go experience. The menu was very small, but fortunately they did have my favorite tacos in the world (currently) the Quesabirria Tacos. For those who haven't had them yet, the tacos are shredded beef stew with melted white cheese and a side of birria broth to dunk your tacos in. I wanted to get a side order of chips and salsa and/or guacamole, but apparently they don't carry any of those, which honestly, is just weird. I got home and devoured my tacos. They were excellent, filled with meat that was not fatty, and full of flavor. The birria broth was one of the better ones I've had. While I thought $10 for just 2 tacos was expensive, they were delicious enough that I would get them again if I were in the area. read more

Acapulco Taqueria - Quesabirria tacos. - Mexican Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Food was delicious and service was fast. Was upset they didn't have their most popular taco - quesabirria. The restaurant is clean and spacious - I'd love to see them develop more of an authentic or cozy feel. We will definitely be coming back! read more

I ordered these tacos through their ordering site listed Toast. They took my money but Toast said they couldn't get in contact with them so the order could be processed. Toast gave me their number to reach out to them and it was a fake number. So I google the number, no number is listed. So I go by the store, it's not opened. But guess what, they refuse to refund my money so I disputed it and they say they gave me the order. Tacky and shady. read more

Acapulco Taqueria - Lunch! 3 tacos (amazing) refried beans. - Mexican Near Me - Tampa, Florida

My bf brought me here, and I was skeptical. But blown away, I crave their food now. Salsa was so good.

The Shrimp taco was the best I've had in my life. Incredibly well seasoned, with fresh ingredients. Will absolutely be back.

This is *thee spot for the best Mexican food in Tampa Bay. I love the guy that works there. He's always so helpful and friendly, and he always makes that food with love. The restaurant is so chill and welcoming. From the modern design of the place, to the painting on the wall, the ambient lighting. Even the drink coolers look rad; filled with drinks and my favorite Jarritos. The food here is incredible! I always get the Carnitas tacos, but today I also got the Birria tacos and Omg yummm!! I'll be dreaming about that Birria tonight, and every night from this day forward, until I get back to Acapulco Taqueria for some more of their amazing food read more

Mexicans love tacos as much as they love BEER As much as Shakespeare fans love KING LEAR As much as The Alley loves decor with DEER As much as my ex gf loved to CHEER As much as "As Folk" was preceded by QUEER As much as beachgoers love the PIER As much as Marky Mark starred in FEAR As much as NY Bagels come with a SMEAR As much as Titanic made me shed a TEAR As much as sheep don't love a good SHEAR As much as Los Angeles skies stay CLEAR As much as Barbie loves her new VENEER As much as Barbie loves her movie CAREER As much as the earth loves being a SPHERE As much as Britney loved my SPEAR As for best Tacos? ACAPULCO TAQUERIA! WHAT! This is my fave Mexican in the bay, offering amazing homemade tacos, including the sensational handmade (hipster word) corn shells, and the meats are delish, especially the cecina. Great horchata too - refreshing and the best in town, nay, the best in Florida, oh crap, I said nay, am I a horse? And wonderful service and actually fast. But not as fast as Barbie likes it. Everybody working here is cool and some of them are absolute angels and flirtatious as well. The sign is nice and the entire menu is excellent. But what really sets this place apart is the astronomical otherworldly taste of the food. Indeed. These are some of the best Mexican eats I've ever had. They're not the healthiest, but then what Mexican food is? They home make all their stuff and every single bite is perfection. All the meats are amazing each different dishes is great. It's not only the best Mexican food in Tampa - it's the best in Florida, and it's so good that it rivals some of the best ones in Georgia too. So I would say this is the joint best Mexican in the whole of the Southeast region, and you absolutely must head directly down here when in Tampa and try some of this out-of-this-world, off the charts, top notch Mexican heaven. You'll be crazy about it, like I am. You'll go Loco for Acapulco. So while Mexican might make you Bulk-o It tastes so good you'll never Sulk-o It's so greasy and yum And goes straight to your bum So come gorge yourself at Acapulco! read more

I did not know why they closed and had given up on them, but I was craving tacos and imagine my surprise when they came up as open. I like their new look it is very clean. They are now a takeout place with a few high top tables. They are also only electronic payments -- NO CASH. I got a Cecina burrito , a fajita quesadilla and quesabirria tacos. The burrito was amazing and my wife truly enjoyed the quesadilla. Both were very large. The quesabirria tacos looked great, but these were my first and they didn't appeal to my taste. The food was delicious and well prepared. read more

GREAT food!!! Good service, prices a bit high, but we enjoyed our meal. We got quesadillas for lunch. Steak one was good, shrimp one was outstanding. $40 for the 2 quesadillas and tip. read more

Fantastic, super flavorful tacos' I got the Quesabirra and my partner Chicken, Carnitas and Fajita tacos. Everything tastes super fresh and the service was super quick but that didn't sacrifice the taste at all. The interior of the restaurant is set mostly for pick up service but there are 5 high tops and bar seating. A lot of people are saying they are disappointed by the new renovation and lack of seating, but I think it's perfect. Helps keep prices low and service quick without having a full on dining room. This place has definitely been added to our list of go-tos for great Mexican! read more

Take it from a Mexican the food is great. I had the tostadas and they reminded me of my childhood. Though i wasn't a fan of the Birria, the Al Pastor was delicious! If you're expecting anything outside of what you would get from a traditional Mexican restaurant don't go. They aren't trying to impress you with decor. They have a limited menu of items they know they can deliver on and i love that. read more

Walked out of this place when i saw the food i just ordered was being charged a service fee. Not a tip but a service fee! When asked, they indicated this the POS MACHINE CHARGE! I did let them know I do not accept these add-ons. Please folks, lets stop this stuff! read more

Such a great experience! The service was awesome and the quality of food was top notch. Great place to come for quick service. Definitely will be back! read more

Really didn't want to give this place a 2star rating because before COVID and their remodel this place was 5 stars but we were so disappointed with the lack of authenticity. The place has been watered down in every sense. The carnitas , chorizo and birria tacos just lacked sazón. Onions, sauces, LIMES are an extra cost and the sauces are clearly watered down not to mention a taqueria is supposed to be a good cheap eats option and charging $40 for 6 little tacos is outrageous. Not sure why they downsized on the snacks and dessert options too but I hope they find their way back to the original location's authenticity! read more

I came to visit this Taqueria place in Tampa with the purpose to try out their tacos. Its very hard to find authentic tacos here in Florida, but there are a few out there in Tampa. This place was no exception. I went ahead and tried out different types of tacos to taste their flavors. I had tongue, pastor, asada and chicken. Gotta say there were not bad at all. I didn't care much for the chicken taco, though. To me, it didn't make me a fan. The tongue, asada, and pastor were the better winners. The flavors were amazing and delicious. Their salsa were right on hot and spicy. So in regards to the tacos, I would recommended them. They are good. I was happy they had Horchata, but it seemed like it was more watery than flavory. Maybe next time they should add a bit more sugar or cinnamon to it. Just saying. The place inside was clean and welcoming, so that's a plus. Their staff were very attentive and friendly. Good customer service. But I always have a laugh inside myself when I go in a Taco place and I hear Salsa o Merengue music instead of Mexican Folk Music. Maybe because we live in Tampa, who knows (shrug). Anyhow, the place has a nice atmosphere. I would visit again. read more

I was super excited just to see them reopened and I let my enthusiasm show in my review. Having tried them again since, I realized that the new concept has little in common with the taqueria that made them so great. I think they "overcorrected". They priced themselves out of what made them so beloved to begin with. A place you could feed yourself on the cheap with good, low priced food. I spent $20 per person on what would have cost me $11 before. The previous version of this place was great. Grocery/produce market upfront, and a taco counter in the back. Now that it is all "South Tampanated" they aren't really a good value for the dollar place to get tacos like they were before. They got fancy, and I didn't want fancy. read more

I'm confused why everyone on Yelp is saying this is the best Al Pastor taco in town...go to Lolis and have theirs, then talk to me. This was bland. No pineapple flavor. Extremely disappointed. read more

This is a local spot near my house that I order from at least about three times a month. Their tacos are flat out amazing! I've had the chicken, fish, shrimp, and birria tacos. My favorite is hands down the shrimp and birria. The birria beef is super flavorful, especially when you pair it with the consome, however since it isn't pressed like a quesabirria it will fall apart when being dipped so be careful. I've also had their chicken quesadilla which is REALLY good, never ever been disappointed when ordering that. I recently had a chicken tamale and I will admit it was rather dry. I will say I am a tamale fanatic so I may be a bit more critical than your average food tester. Service is good as well. You can call to order and or go in and order. They are also on uber eats as well. Never delayed and the workers always have a smile on their faces. I HIGHLY recommend this place if your craving tacos! read more

Always guaranteed a great meal here! The brothers use high quality meats which you will notice and it's noticeable. Just got the chicken burrito bowl and it rocks! For those that are gluten free, they got that covered as well for you. read more

Came here for lunch today with a dear friend and wow! We were blown away by the food. The taqueria is in a small plaza with plenty of parking, but this place was packed so parking was scarce. The place has a very homey feel to it. It reminds me of the bodegas in New York, but instead of getting Bacon, Egg & Cheese on a roll, you get TACOS! Service is quick and there is a self service fridge which is perfect for a low key lunch. I ordered 3 tacos (2 chicken & 1 steak). They were all served on corn tortillas with raw onions & cilantro....this is the way tacos are supposed to be, simply perfection. The meat was extremely flavorful and juicy. We were given limes & salsa to go with and the additions elevated the flavors. The service was average, however, everyone who works there is super helpful and friendly. If you're looking for amazing authentic tacos, this is your spot! read more

Went here for dinner because I saw delicious pics on Instagram and was surprised! Great tasting tacos and very flavorful! They had lots of meat with 10 different kinds of tacos to choose from. Also have quesadillas, enchiladas, burritos and tamales. You go in grab a drink and sit down. Very relaxed atmosphere, nothing fancy but the food is great! They had lots of meat on the tacos and also had the enchilada which was the special of the day. They give you a spicy salsa, a salsa verde and a bowl of limes for your meal. They serve beer to go only (not for dining in) Lots of options and good size portions for a good deal. read more

Came here for my last ever lunch with my work best friend (she is leaving forever). The parking is difficult if you park on their lot, TIP: I suggest you park in the Rolling Oats Lot and walk over, it's easier and quicker. Okay now read this next part carefully so you don't look totally lost when you first arrive. When you walk through the door you will see a small gas station like cashier with a lot of knick knacks around it--ignore that counter until it is time to pay, go straight to anyone on the l-shaped white counter with the bar stools. There is where the menus are and that is where someone will take your order. Most people only order three tacos, but me being as hungry as I was, I ordered four. They did take a while because it was busy but the tacos are only $2 so yeah I'll order as many as I want. I ordered the first four on the menu: lengua, chorizo, al pastor, and carnitas. I got my tacos in about half an out and then we drove back to work. I made the mistake of NOT CHECKING ORDER before leaving and realized my tacos were only meat and tortilla, no additional lettuce onion or cilantro like they ususally do. I was so sad and because of this I could not get past eating the lengua (tongue) taco. I saw the cows tastebuds and I was done. I'm pathetic, I know. Overall pretty delicious place but just make sure you have some time to spare and ALWAYS CHECK YOUR TO GO ORDER! read more

This is my favorite spot for a Birria Taco. These guys know how to do it right and I'll be back again and again

I found my new favorite taco spot! Hands down this place has the most protein options and the best prices! I always get the al pastor (that pineapple salsa is the best) and chorizo and most recently I tried the mahi mahi. I'm so mad at myself for not trying the mahi mahi sooner! My guy always get a burrito because he loves the portion size! This time he ordered the burrito with shrimp and he was very pleased. He's a guy that can REALLY eat so for him to like the size of it is a big deal lol! I usually order 3 or 4 myself and my appetite is satisfied. If you're looking for a traditional, no frills taco with real protein options, this is your place. They are packed with flavor and like I said for the price, you can try a little bit of everything! And to be honest I maybe the last to find out about these guys they are always bush's, which is a good sign! read more

Get the green sauce!!! read more

I visit this taqueria every now and then for lunch. This is one of the few authentic Mexican eateries around this part of Tampa Bay. It's right next-door to the Rollin' Oats grocery stores on MacDill Avenue. It's a very casual establishment. I mean, really casual. You don't want to come in here expecting anything too fancy. The food more than makes up for it though. It appears that for now, they're going under some sort of minor renovation, In my observation, due to the primered walls and the relatively new furniture. The food here is really delicious! My favorite are the tacos and they're reasonably priced. During the lunchtime, however, it does get pretty busy so it's best to order ahead and pick up your food, as dining in may take too long for some. It's definitely worth a visit if your hungry for tacos and happened to be on this part of town. read more

This place is not in my neighborhood. Bummer. We were up in the Tampa area, and a friend recommended this place. He found it by asking around - "Where can I get the best tacos?" This place is not anything fancy (or pretty). Almost a hole in the wall. The menu is very simple. We had 5 tacos. They were delicious. If this place was down here (Ft Myers), I'd be a regular. If you live up there - you're lucky. BTW, they had some excellent Hot Sauces. read more
