My husband and I where looking for a place to have dinner after 10 hour drive we where starving so got on Google and look for places to eat Mexican around me, saw this place read the reviews and decide to give it a try. Drove to the place and I was like “they are not busy so we will get a table easily “ to my surprised they where just doing to go orders. Check the menu and one of the employees suggested to try the Enchiladas Rojas and my husband got Torta de carnitas and also got a Torta de Lengua. We where so hungry and the food was so good that I totally forgot to take pictures. I try to go back on Sunday but they where close, left Monday morning to get back home and was very sad that I did not get the chance to eat one more time the food from Acapulco Taqueria if I get the chance to go back to Tampa this is one of the places that I would love to go back.Food is delicious and the seasoning, hand made tortillas, the customer service everything is excellent
Absolutely amazing. Definitely deserves a 🥇Top Ranking spot in my Tacos Gone Loco TPA list! Ordered six different varieties of tacos: pollo, carne, lengua, cueritos, camarones y pescado (Mahi Mahi) 😋. First of all, the flavor in each of these tacos are profoundly unique. It took a little time to prep and prepare these babies with absolute good reason. Quality takes time and Acapulco definitely delivers on those expectations. I enjoyed the vibes of the establishment, as well. Had some unique shaped Cheetos on deckie, like the horneados and bolitos; tres leches and flan in the fridge. You guys deserved 7 stars! Ill definitely be back soon 👍🏾
Went here due to a friends recommendation.Food: I got 5 tacos (Shrimp, chorizo, barrier, chicken, and el pastor. Big portion s for a single taco, but I felt the flavors were a little muted. Also this was take out only.Service: Very friendly people and very welcoming and plenty of Mexican candies and food to purchase for later.Overall I would reccommend this place but will be going again to make sure that it wasnt my taste buds that were on the fritz today.
I absolutely love the food here! I’ve been a few times and it is consistently excellent. I’ve had huaraches and tacos. If you’ve never tried a huarache, give yourself a treat. I live in St Pete’s and I make it a point to stop by here every time I go to Tampa. Owners are very friendly, as well. Overall, it is always a great experience eating here. I keep telling them they should open in St Pete’s!
Had the huaraches. It was delicious. I learned that I should have ordered two though. I was still hungry after the first one. 🤷🏼♂️
I’ve lived in this area for a LONG TIME and these are some of the best tacos I have EVER had!!! Not to mention the price... everything on the menu is more than affordable and is absolutely delicious!!! They have plenty of options on the tacos and if you aren’t in the mood for tacos you won’t have to look at the menu long before you find what you are in the mood for! I try to make this a weekly lunch spot if I can find the time. If you haven’t eaten here before make you try this place out ASAP!
Been coming here for years, and its been consistent all these years. Homemade hot sauce is amazing, the fajita (carne asada) tacos are my favorite, followed by pastor, carnitas, and chorizo. Lengua is good too! My husband and I always get a coconut popsicle while we wait because why not?! It’s so refreshing yet creamy. They had street corn with all the fixins’ (which was new since I’ve come back from living in Cali), and would definitely order it again.The two main guys that work are always courteous and kind. The service is always great, never mess up an order or forget anything- just spot on. Definitely best tacos hands down, if you’re looking to get tanked on margaritas and tequila shots, go elsewhere, you come here for their food, legit Mexican street tacos. Their tortillas are homemade for the sopas, however I stick to the tacos because I just can’t get enough of them!
I ordered a Chicken Bowl. It was hot and you the portion was large. I loved it and plan on going back to try some other things.
Best Tacos in Tampa by a long shot. If you are looking for authentic Mexican food in Tampa, this is the place.
First time. We were greeted with help with menu. very friendly, timely matter in which received our food. Food was great 2 burritos. Chicken, and the vegan chirizo was good. We will be back soon.
Absolutely delicious. Ive been coming here for years and tried many other places but these are the best tacos in tampa. their salsas are both amazing, flavorful and hot. just tried their birria tacos and WOW.
THESE ARE THE BEST TACOS EVER!!!!! THE BEEF AND SHRIMP ARE AMAZING! If you open sundays I will come every sunday!!! Keep up the amazing job!!!!!
I visited Acapulco on a Saturday, and was extremely impressed. Having lived somewhere without quality Mexican food for the past several years, Acapulco had what I needed. I sat at the bar and was quickly asked if I had any questions about the menu, and was given some recommendations.I ordered the huaraches ($9) with al pastor (pork, pineapple, and chili) and watched as my order was being made shortly after ordering. When I received the food, I was very happy that these were not small huaraches. They are extremely delicious and very filling.I also ordered the horchata, which I think is available only on weekends. It was to die for and complimented the food very well, as it was just sweet enough with the right amount of cinnamon.I have already gone back to Acapulco once more, and will definitely go again the next time Im in town.
Authentic tacos. Loved them. Great customer service and clean inviting atmosphere.
The huaracha is good. The pastor lacked flavor (someone said this place was better than Lolis). The pork skin is not crispy so I was turned off by the fatty texture. I grabbed togo though so it is possible the steam in the box caused the issue.
Best tacos I have ever had! Very tasty with fresh ingredients.
Food is good I guess but they dont serve enough to fill u up. Take out only currently
Came by for lunch had the burrito bowl with carnitas and Esquite and all of it was delicious. The bowl was a large portion very satisfying.
I just moved to Tampa and have been searching for a good taco place and this is definitely the best yet! It’s super authentic - the tacos and flautas were delicious!! They have horchata and aguas frescas. It’s located inside a store but don’t let that deter you from coming in. The people are also very nice here.
1st time here, our food was amazing great favors. Very authentic Mexican food!!! Our New Mexican spot. Our regular place closed and found this diamond in the rough!! 5 stars ⭐️!!
Small place and great selection of tacos meats and since in the store they have a butcher you know fresh meats and great selection of Mexican sodas. The red and green salsas are great the green salsa its good and not too hot with a lime hint and the red salsa has good flavor and has a good kick. Totally recommend this place if your looking for great authentic Mexican tacos.
Very friendly! Great food! The paletas where expensive tho.
Loved it before their reno, love it even more now! Great food, great prices! We try to get take away every time we visit.
Very delicious food, professional staff and theyre very friendly to Uber Eats Drivers!
Great food! I havent ordered anything I didnt love
Delicious Vegan Chorizo taco! Will be coming back for more!
My preferred place for delicious mexican food. Looking forward to a return trip. The place has a nice feel to it.
Great little Mexican restaurant serving genuine street tacos at $2 to $2.50 each. Look for the daily specials also. I had a very good Mole Verde, but very spicy. Be careful.
This is without a doubt the best place for street tacos in Tampa. If youre just looking to get hammered on margaritas go elsewhere, but if you want delicious, homemade tacos, theres no better place than Acapulco!
Great authentic mexican food and very reasonably priced.
Really tasty authentic tacos. Shrimp tacos are amazing, mahi mahi, and pork are great too. A lot of other great options on the menu as well.
The place looks like its undergoing remodeling, but the lack of atmosphere doesnt even matter because the food is incredible. I loved that I got to taste sweetbreads for the first time (loved them). Everything was tasty and the staff was very friendly. You can see into the kitchen as well, theres bar seating right in front of it. Great experience.
What happened guys??!! This place used to be run by Mexican mamas cooking right in front of you. The pace was sold some time ago and the mamas disappeared shortly after. The food was still ok though. I hadn’t been back there is a while and ordered some takeout a couple of days ago since I was nearby. What a disappointment to say the least. My wife wanted no rice and more beans with her fajitas and got the opposite. Ok, misunderstanding. I ordered 4 tacos: al pastor (barely ok-ish), 2 chorizo (less than average and undercooked), buche or sweetbread (tasteless and undercooked). No mas amigos. That place has lost more than one customer that day. So sad because I used to love that place.
My top place for tasty Mexican food. Do yourself a favor and give this place a try. This place has an awesome atmosphere.
Amazing food. Also the attention was awsome.
Hands down my favorite Authentic taco place in the tampabay area. Dont worry they speak English very well. I have recommended this place to all kinds of poeple and most people love it! Service is good & food is even better!!
This just became my Go-To Mexican place to eat!!!! Tried for the first time today, service was phenomenal and the food was even better. So authentic and delicious! 1000% recommend.
Top of the line tacos.Ive eaten tacos from Cali all the way to Florida and alot of states in between.You wanna taco bout authentic heres the place.Great prices,great staff. If you like tamales then youre in luck. Awesome food awesome place!
Food is always good, and the limon agua Fresca is the best!
Excellent flavor profile....ample portions....friendly staff
I would recommend. I hope you wont regret your option to go here. Best place to eat💙
Home made Mexican food, good beans and soft tortillas. Large open space, better to call in then sit and eat..
From London, living in LA, travelled around Mexico but think these are some of the best tacos I’ve ever had. Super friendly staff too. Recommend El Pastor and Chicken tacos. I’ll be back to try more!
Excellent food, great staff.. Try anything
This is the place!! Like said best Tacos in town. Without a doubt the real taste of Mexico. Would be even hard to beat in Mexico its self. And i have been to a lot of Mexican towns. Five Stars But at times the noise levels can be loud, Mostly from the open dish washer and kitchen.
LOVE the tacos! Very authentic the little hole in the wall place. Just come in & sit down, girl takes your order and food comes out quick. You have to grab your drink from the cooler so if your too high maintenance dont come here. Its almost like a little convenient store/ grocery / food truck in a building. But my goodness the tacos are great!
They do a very good job here pumping out really good food. I dont always eat in, more often I grab and go. Steak huaraches highly recommended.
This restaurant has excellent food and excellent service! I went here at the recommendation of a co worker and gym buddy! I order the Steak Huaraches and they were absolutely delicious and the portion size was also great! Will definitely continue to eat here in the future!
Great little authentic taqueria restaurant. They dont have margaritas but Im told they will be getting them soon. Very reasonably priced.
The Best Tacos and Mexican food in Tampa.the food is always on point and theCustomer service is A-1
Acapulco is the only place you will find the best tacos ever..no taco place in the entire Tampa are will be able to provide the level of flavor that they have, it is just an authentic Mexican taste. So if you are looking for authentic flavor..Acapulco is for you!
One of my favorite places to enjoy authentic Mexican food. The owner Xavier is always welcoming and friendly and the amazing staff always has a smile. This really makes me feel happy enjoying delicious food a long with people that make me feel at home. Everything is delicious.. I recommend to everyone.
The only authentic Mexican restaurant in Tampa. The food is basic Mexican fare and it is done very well. The soups and specials are always very good. The taco selection is outstanding and the accompanying condiments, lime, cilantro and onion, are a great addition. There is a good selection of typical Mexican soda like Jarritos, and other beverages. The service is friendly although the restaurant quickly gets overwhelmed and things can slow down during busy hours. I prefer to eat here over all the other Tex-Mex places.
Tacos and tamales taste very fresh, staff was super nice. You get a lot of shredded chicken in the tamale. If they updated their decor I think we might have a winner! Definitely coming back.
Fantastic authentic Mexican food. Had been looking for something like this place for years after having lived in NYC, and it was exactly the taste I wanted. Will definitely want to be a regular there !!!
Excellent pork al pastor tacos!
THE MOST DELICIOUS AND AUTHENTIC MEXICO FOOD I HAVE EVER TASTED. The staff and service is amazing as well! It is now my favorite place to eat!!!
Great service and outstanding food. Priced well. A must try if you are looking for authentic Mexican food in Tampa.
I eat here once a week and have never been disappointed. The food is always amazing and the staff is super nice. They make you feel welcome. Very authentic.
Best tacos I’ve ever had. I came here on our way back to Orlando and was pleasantly surprised. The servers and all staff there were very nice. I had the chicken and chipotle taco and the steak taco and both were incredible. It’s so rare to find authentic Mexican food anywhere, and this is the real deal. When I’m back in this area I am definitely coming here again!
Great tacos and excellent prices! Perfect lunch spot if you work anywhere near downtown Tampa! Highly recommend!
Real deal tacos. This place is a grocery store with a kitchen in the back, so no frills. They have really tasty soups. Servers are always nice. If youre in the area and want proper street tacos at a low price go here.
There for the first time today.... EXCELLENT tacos, had beef, pork and shrimp... Very nice people too! Loved it and will be back!
Hands down the most authentic & tasty taqueria in Tampa. Simply put, youre missing out if you havent been here yet. Seriously. Dont be one of those people missing out -- go get some amazing tacos!
I had Caldo de Res, wife had tacos and son had tamales. Both of them ordered another tamale after. The food was absolutely delicious. Small restaurant. Friendly staff. I only wish I lived in Tampa and could eat there all the time!!!
If you want Mexican food and you want it to be authentic and fast, this place is perfect. Best burrito Ive had in ages.
By far my favorite Mexican Restaurant in Tampa. Great service! Their posole is delicious and their tacos are reasonably priced.
Talk about the real deal! Sometimes less is more. They kept it authentic, only adding onions and cilantro to the tacos. They bring out lime wedges, mild sauce and a pretty spicy sauce. You can grab whatever you want to drink from the store (with the exception of alcoholic beverages). The meat was cooked very well.Tip: ask for 2 tortillas per taco. That way they do not fall apart. I am going back today for dinner, Delicious!!!
VEGAN TACOS OMGPaletas also a++++Real deal taco vibe.. you will not believe how good these are.
Food was great! Our server Sophie was so nice and made great food recommendations. We will definitely be back!
Absolutely the best tacos in town. Without a doubt wonderful, fantastic authentic tacos. These are the real Mexican tacos you get at street stands in Mexico. Ive searched high and low and these are the best in Tampa Bay.
Love their tacos! Burritos and tamales are also excellent. Clean with friendly staff and consistently good food.
Absolutely incredible. Best Mexican food we’ve ever had in FL. Authentic, spicy and perfect. Kind and helpful staff. Can’t WAIT to go back (:
Tasty. Authentic. Certainly not trying to impress with the ambiance of the grocery store....keep it that way...keep cost low so the food stays cheap. A place up north started similar. Decided to expand to a full restaurant. Prices went up and quality went down. Good value. Well worth the visit any time we are in the area.
Not just the best tacos I’ve ever had, the best food I’ve ever had. Hands down. Delicious authentic food with amazing service. Drink and snack selection is amazing and super cool. Must go when in the area!!!
This place was recommended by a friend. Honestly, we’ve drove by so many times and nvr thought anything about it and lol we went back 2 days in a row! Food is awesome. It’s cleanly cooked, meaning you can taste all of the fresh ingredients! Very reasonable prices as well. We will definitely be going back!!
This place serves pretty good mexican food. Its getting 3 stars from me, because it is a little pricey for what you get. Ive only had 1 salsa from here and its extremely spicy! I wish they had other salsas they could offer, because I have heartburn, and I cannot eat spicy stuff.Ill go back, but only for the $3 margaritas.
This place is fantastic! Authentic, clean and one of Tampas best kept secret! Order by phone or online if visiting during rush hour.Prepare to be blown away. This restaurant has mexican food down to an art- a very very special one.
The food is very authentic and the marinades make the meat delicious. All the food is cooked so it it very tender. Overall a great restaurant for Mexican food!
