So bummed about my al pastor burrito that just got delivered by doordash. First off, it was $22. Which i will happily pay for delivery, however, it was horrible. ALL RICE! I took 4 or 5 bites of all rice. Like, what? And, the al pastor i did find was dry as a bone, the tortilla was also dry as a bone, they should never have served a customer this food. Period.

First time trying this place. It was recommended to me by my coworkers and it did not disappoint. I had the carne asada torta with fries and horchata. The woman at the cash register was kind and informative. The place was clean with artwork on the walls and the food came out fast and hot. The meat was juicy and not greasy. The horchata was some of the best horchata I've had since moving the area. I enjoyed my experience here and will be returning!! read more

Came here to fill that taco craving. Ordered one veggie tacos which came with refried beans, lettuce, gauc, shredded cheese, tomatoes and onions. Also tried the battered shrimp, which came with onions and cilantro. Both tacos were pretty tasty, but I would say the price point is a bit steep for tacos. Both tacos ran about $9 to $10, which didn't quite fill me up but was a nice snack. read more

I was very pleasantly surprised by this place. My usual go to Mexican restaurant is Tacos de Mexico, but I might just start coming here too. Chicken Tacos - I loved the taste of these. They were juicy and had a nice flavor I've never gotten from tacos I've had before, but that might be because this is the first time I've had tacos that weren't beef or pork lol. I'll be trying Tacos de Mexico's chicken tacos to compare. Carne Asada Burrito Bowl - LOVED this even though it was tinier than most burrito bowls. The meat was very soft and flavorful, I'm drooling just thinking back right now. It also had a good amount of cheese which I love. Overall, it was a very positive experience and the service was great (although my bf and I were the only ones there aside from another lady). I'll definitely be coming back. read more

During a time when everyone is getting food to go, speed goes a long way. I've never had to wait more than 5 minutes to get my food when I arrive. And when I call it in they always say it'll be ready within 10 minutes. Burritos are tasty and the family is friendly.

Rarely am I ever in the mood for nachos since I'm more of a taco girl, but I came here because the nachos came highly recommended. My friend and I dropped by due in part to a munchies attack and this spot is just right around the corner of where she lives so it was super convenient. We called in our order ahead of time and when we got there it was ready to go. We ordered the Combo Nachos. The difference is we asked for it to have all the meats. That's asada, chicken and pork. We don't mess around. We also got a large horchata. No lie, it was THE best horchata I've ever had in my life. Them some serious words coming from someone who has had it everywhere in America, Mexico, Guatemala and even Honduras. I'm not sure if it made a difference that I asked for them to only put a little bit of ice in the cup. (Side note: adding a smidge of rum is ) The nachos was bomb. We killed the whole thing. There was just the right amount of everything. The chips to toppings ratio was on point. This just might be my new SLO spot instead of going downtown. read more

I know I haven't checked out very many Taquerias since moving to SLO (okay, this is the only one...), but DAMN those chicken enchiladas are my jam! Combo plate w/ two is only $7.75. We've been a few times, and I've had the chicken tacos and chile relleno (both good), and the large horchata comes in basically a styrofoam basin. It is delicious and enough to share! The "guacamole" is more of an avocado sauce, and is actually pretty standard in taquerias. Don't hate, unless you want to pay a huge premium to have hand-mashed Haas avocados. I love the rice and beans that come with the combos...there are a ton of different flavors going on, and they are all delicious. Literally the nicest service I've received at a hole-in-the-wall, from every single member of the team. There's just a fantastic vibe going on in this place. Love them! read more

I ordered the al pastor burrito and it's delicious but the guacamole and salsa I asked for were not in my burrito. Just beans rice and cilantro with a little bit of pastor. They did give me the side of fried Serrano Peppers that I asked for but $19 with a tip on a to go order is pretty expensive! I could easily make this burrito at home as I am Hispanic and growing up one of my chores was to make beans. Maybe I'll open my own restaurant with lower prices and the best salsa you could ever taste. For years I've been told to start a salsa company. Maybe 2023 will be the salsa year!

This the burrito of my youth what do I mean by that I mean it's the first burrito I discovered the first burrito I came back to the burrito of being a punk ass kid, riding bikes around town no sense of respect no plans just scoring weed ir talking to girls yes. A burrito of the past. Different location same flavors somethings never change more expensive these days I remember when it was $5. When I didn't have much. Just a skateboard some loose change I had dreams. I knew I wanted to be something make something of my life. Now I'm here again paying $20 for the burrito of my youth. Has my greatness caught up with inflation. Same thing different audience different prices. What can one really do. We're just stardust sitting in plastic chairs in a restaurant off the side of the freeway what would Jesus do. We have big hearts full of carne asada I have nothing else to say. Burrito more expensive now. But it's fine I'm doing okay more than okay doing great just a couple of Guys eating burritos on a Tuesday night except we order different items we make choices in life and at tacos de. Do we really choose or do the choices chose us? Maybe fate has brought me here what it all means I do not know. I see evidence of beer but I see no beer in the fridge. It's a metaphor I see evidence of beer but no beer Did I just have to ask for the beer Is the beer for those who ask Do I deserve the beer What if I want wine I am too bourgeois for these plastic stools do you know who I am We are in same tacos de same place eternally and when I move to more gentrificatiwec neighborhoods with better jobs and ai and nvifia stocks part of me is always with the past now and forever I've been running Tesla gliding soaring lifting arms in the air cheering and one bite takes me back. Winterformal nite 2009. Keilan ordered the enchiladas because he wanted to be different keilan's enchiladas take forever cmon we're going to be late! You better hurry or your dates gonna leave without you great start for the night It all comes and goes These memories these things a salted chip is like a souvenir The night we became friends when you said NO everyone waits for keilan's enchiladas! The party bus don't leave till keilan eats! So we waited and I ate in silence no one said a word no one danced with me except the one girl who showed up alone no date. Don't know what happened to her. Heard she went to art school in Georgia. Anyways I made a friend that night he stuck up for me and my godforsaken enchiladas we all need a friend like that. So I eat my $20 burrito. And you know what maybe I will ask for a beer. Cheers to you because we all need a friend like that abd these days I'm that friend for me my own person. And maybe I need that. Maybe we all need that. Be there for you. The little guy is you and the hero is in you it's all encompassing it's all there . One love read more

An absolute gem in slo for burrito enthusiasts. Bursting with flavors, the perfectly seasoned meats or hearty vegetarian options combined with fresh ingredients create an explosion of taste in every bite. The portions are generous, satisfying even the heartiest appetites. With prompt service and a cozy atmosphere, Tacos De Acapulco is a must-visit for anyone seeking the pinnacle of burrito perfection. read more

The chicken burrito is so delicious. There's so much flavor in each bite I had to eat as slow as possible to savor the flavor. The guy who made the burrito joked around saying "I put extra cheese" when j asked for no cheese. I asked if he was being serious and he said no. Thankfully it had no cheese. Be on the lookout for the jokester! read more

I ordered the same thing again -- the enchiladas with beans and rice -- and this time I actually remembered to snap a picture. Must try. This visit was even better because I got to interact with the staff. I went for dinner, and the gentleman helping us was incredibly sweet. He took time to talk with my daughter, asked her little questions, and had her blushing and giggling the whole time. That kind of kindness really stands out. As a parent, it means a lot when staff are warm, patient, and know how to engage with children. My first visit was during the lunch rush, so I did not really get that experience, but tonight it was nice and quiet inside. I was able to place my order, step out to grab my daughter dinner from a nearby spot, and come right back. Overall, another great experience.

I order the grilled fish that comes with cabbage, mango, ranch dressing, and pico de gallo. You can also get the fish breaded. They offer a chip and salsa station and the best tasting horchata (rice milk, cinnamon, and sugar) that's made from scratch. You order at the counter and the food is brought to your table. Very clean and casual setting. Magdalena is a gem! She's worked there for nearly 20 years and she never makes a mistake on the order. She's sharp and a real asset to this Mexican restaurant. The interior was closed for renovations that includes brighter colors that brings a festive feeling to it. The patio has tables and chairs (in front and back) that allow for pets. Highly recommend.
