    Al pastor, carniitas, governador plus mango fresca - OMG!
    John P.

    Amazing tacos - incredible variety, and ridiculously good flavors. What is there not to love! Agua frescas, shrimp tacos but my favorite is the Birria with just outrageous flavor! Highly encouraged and if you haven't been there, you're really missing out. Note they're not open on Sundays, so make sure you get there before Saturday is done.

    Great food, and great price! Staff was very nice and service was quick. They had cool Spanish music playing over the speakers. There were tons of people (including nurses from the hospital across the street!) and everyone was loving the food. The tacos birria were really good, and so was the burrito, which isn't pictured here since it was so good and we ate it so quick haha. Definitely check this place out!

    Los Chapos Tacos - Brandon, FL I've been on a serious hunt for truly authentic Mexican food in the Brandon/Tampa area for years, and this little hole-in-the-wall next to the HCA hospital absolutely nailed it. I ordered the Al Pastor burrito -- twice in one week -- specifically to test consistency. Both visits were outstanding. The flavors were vibrant and clean: fresh pineapple, bright cilantro, perfectly seasoned meat, and you could even pick up subtle notes of cinnamon. Everything tasted fresh, balanced, and genuinely authentic, not over-processed or masked with heavy sauces. What really stood out was the care. The staff checked on me while I was eating, genuinely wanting to make sure everything was right. It felt less like a restaurant and more like being in someone's kitchen -- that comforting "grandma making sure you're fed right" kind of energy. Warm, welcoming, and personal. I've traveled extensively in Mexico and lived in Florida for years trying to find a place that hits the mark for real Mexican flavor -- and this place absolutely delivers. Hands down, this is the best Mexican food I've found in this area in a long time. If you're anywhere near Brandon and love authentic Mexican food, do yourself a favor and stop here. You won't regret it.

    Ambience is excellent. Its seating is limited, but they are quick with the food so its limited space is not noticeable as they have a quick turnaround. The food is flavorful and filling. I loved the carnitas; I also had the al pastor, elotes cup, and omg their NACHOS! It packs a punch but well made with layers of flavor with meat, guacamole, cream, cheese...all amazing and delicious. As everyone else said, your belly will be happy but your wallet will cry.

    in general been going to the ybor location for some years now no problem with anything food is on point service is great i love this spot more because plenty of parking and i'm closer to this one overall great place and i have been trying different dishes as well some i forget to post ops the owners are beautiful ppl indeed ...i love los chapos tacos For the record ybor locations parking is crazy you lucky if you find a spot it's street parking not a parking lot like in Brandon location needed to make that clear...unless they have now improved because they were doing some construction within that area back then...

    WOW! I finally came back to this spot to try the food out as I was doing a Uber Delivery and didn't know about this hidden gem. The chicken burrito was fresh and hot. Let's not forget delicious. I will be coming back.

    What a delicious spot! I went with some friends to try this place after hearing so many recommendations, and it did not disappoint. We started with the guacamole with chicharrón and the esquite--both were delicious! Then I tried the carnitas, asada, al pastor, and gringa tacos. Wow, the gringa was amazing, packed with cheese and incredible flavor. The asada taco was great too. I'll definitely be back!

    What's warm, wet and drippingly delicious???? The Taco Sandwich formally called the Torta ahogada I was really hesitant to try it and came in for steak tacos but the photo on the menu board wouldn't stop staring at me. I ended up ordering it and so glad I did because my Gaaaaaaawwwddddd it was screamingly delicious!

    Walked in the door greeted with smiles and friendliness. The food( OMG) soooo good and the place itself is inviting and decorated very nicely . Great food, Great atmosphere!!! Definitely a 10!!!

    2 orders of birria tacos, 1 pineapple drink, and 1 horchata

    Overall service wasn't the best, food was okay but asked for cilantro and onion (thought it would come with the tacos, had to serve myself, or ask for it) and was told it was be $0.50, and it was a bit smoky inside the building so now I smell like the place lol. Paid $40 and some change for two birria tacos and two agua frescas which I think is a bit much for missing the key parts of the taco. The horchata wasn't very good (didn't taste very authentic) I asked for a replacement of pineapple and there was no extra fee so that's a plus. I understand some people have some off days but this place doesn't have the vibe.

    Got the opportunity to come visit Los Chapos Tacos in Brandon, FL. They recently had thier Grand Opening and so far the locals are getting into the the trend of this taco place. Love Tacos and Mexican food? Then here's a place to come visit. They have 3 locations. One in Ybor City, Second in Lutz and third in Brandon, FL. Thier tacos and mexican dishes are good so I would definitely recommend you to check them out.

    Service: Fast and friendly. Food: Ordered the chips and…read moreguacamole. Huge portion of chips and decent serving of guacamole, which lacked some flavor. Caldo de Res (beef soup) was awesome, but the to go order seems like a bigger portion. My coworker ordered the carnitas and al pastor tacos and said they were tasty. Price: for chips and guacamole, 2 tacos, and beef soup was a little over $26.

    This place completely exceeded my expectations! We started with the trio of salsa, guacamole, and…read moreupgraded to the chorizo queso--and every single dip tasted fresh, homemade, and absolutely delicious. For my meal, I had one carnitas, one shrimp, and one carne asada taco. The carnitas were my favorite, followed closely by the shrimp. The carne asada was flavorful too, just a little oily, which was easily fixed with a quick dab of my napkin. My boyfriend ordered the Skillet Rancheros with chicken and shrimp, plus a chicken taco, and loved everything. The skillet reminded us of a unique twist on fajitas and was packed with flavor. The homemade tortillas really stood out--you can tell everything here is made with care. Our server was incredibly friendly and attentive, the restaurant was spotless (even the bathrooms!), and the dining room was bright, welcoming, and adorable. They also have a great drink selection, including beer, seltzers, margaritas, and sangria, which we'll definitely be back to try. We left full, happy, and already planning our next visit. I can't recommend this place enough!
