Apapacho Taqueria

Really good mushroom tacos! Finally—a place in DC that got them right. The fried mushrooms worked perfectly. So much better than the typical/boring sautéd baby Bella mushrooms that other people are serving just to have a vegan option on the menu. Their salsas were ALL really good as well. Would definitely these order from here over and over again. I just wish they used DoorDash though so I could use my free delivery perks. 😅

The food is great but our tacos kept falling apart I think they should put 2 tortillas instead of 1 like other taco places. But other than that we love the food and drinks here. Also it would be cool if they had Mexican corn/Elote.The concha’s here are soooo good so soft and perfect.The employees here are very helpful 😇

Food is high quality and definitely on the spectrum of authentic Mexican cuisine. To find this hidden gem, you must walk inside and find it tucked inside the "market" in the corner. Seating is rather limited but have indoor and outdoor options that can be managed with smaller groups of 4 or less.

As a Mexican, it's hard to find good Mexican food in the States, until you try Apapacho. Simply the BEST tacos I've eaten. Nice drinks, friendly staff, colorful place. I tried every single type of taco they sell, and my only complaint is that all of them are so good that Apapacho makes it impossible to pick a favorite.

The tacos here are alright. Don't get me wrong, they're better than most taco places in DC but I found the carnitas and suadero tacos to be rather flavorless. I ended up needing to add a lot of sauce to both. The sauces are very very good! And the al pastor (my favorite) was incredibly tough. Each taco and my Jarito was $5!!! Street tacos are 3 bites worth of food. I couldn't call these tacos worth the price AT ALL unfortunately.

Great mushroom taco. I ordered the mushroom "el isra" taco. The mushrooms were crispy and plentiful. I most enjoyed the salsa cruda and the habanero ash. These aren't the best mushroom tacos I've had in the district, but so far, they are the best in the NoMa area. The menu was very simple, which is great. However, it would have been nice to have one other vegiterian or vegan entrée choice. For more options, I'd choose another restaurant. The cooking area looked very clean and was transparent for the customers to see. I really enjoyed this.

The tacos were simply some of the best tacos I’ve had in DC. I really liked the concha but the top, sugary part not thick enough but rather flaky. For $5, I would have appreciated it to be a little bigger too.

Reasonable price for the tacote and tecate beers. Very tender asada and loved the salsas. Terrible michelada.

If you know me in real life, you know how annoying I've been for the past few months about how DC doesn't have decent tacos. So imagine my surprise, when I met my Mahjong pals at La Cosecha, and all of a sudden, I caught a whiff of ACTUAL legitimate Mexican food. Yes, not all Mexican food is tacos, but tacos are life. I do not exaggerate when I say I went around the whole food court trying to find that smell, and I found it at Apapacho. To me, all their tacos are amazing. They have a "serve yourself" salsa bar that will not disappoint. Whether you are looking for the mildest green salsa or the spiciest habanero, you'll find something to suit you. The tortillas, which are homemade, and nixtamalized in-house are delicious, but inconsistent. Some days they are perfectly soft, and other days they are dry and tough. STILL- I would argue that this is the best taco in town. The service is friendly and efficient, and if you are lucky, maybe you can catch the owner at the counter. He always seems happy to explain the menu or give a recommendation.

Hands down THEE BEST taco I've EVER had in my life! So fresh, so flavorful, so perfect! The staff... AMAZING! Literally EVERYONE! Consistently! I live in the neighborhood so I'm there a lot and the customer service is always top tier! They're some of the nicest people I've ever met! The vibe is always vibing too! The music, the decor! This place is perfect! Definitely recommend

Finally got to try Apapacho and was pleasantly surprised. My husband and I ordered a gringa, suadero tacos, guac' and chips, and the campechano tacos. The campechano tacos were definitely our favorite- the meat was so well cooked and seasoned. While I enjoyed the tacos, I found the tortillas to be a bit underwhelming. Their salsas were also just okay. However, their meats and the chihuahua cheese in the gringa really stole the show. I am not sure I would go here again unless I am in the area and have a Mexican food craving.

delish! i ate with my coworkers so i didn't take a picture, but i ordered the mushroom taco and the fried corn quesadilla and both were absolutely amazing. the sauces they have are also so good. i only ordered one mushroom taco because i was a little worried i wouldn't like it but it was hands down the best restaurant mushroom dish i think i've probably ever had. i need to come back and just get a plate of those! highly recommend!

Cute new taco place in La Cosecha! I love the decor and vibe of the place. There's also ample seating inside as well as in the main area of La Cosecha. I tried the Campechano and Carnitas tacos. The tortillas themselves are on the small side which makes the portion look really small, but I actually thought the amount of meat/filling is comparable or even more than other places, so I think the price is reasonable enough. I loved the carnitas taco - my one complaint is that it was a bit greasy which made it very messy to eat. But I did like the chicharron which added a little bit of texture, and I appreciate that they don't skimp on the onions as I think it helps cut through the heaviness of the meat. I also love that they have a variety of different self-serve sauces and salsas at the front, so you can customize the flavor of your taco a little bit more. Definitely will revisit!

Replacing a taco shop once visited by President Biden, Apapacho Taqueria is inside La Cosecha, a market with Latin American makers. The menu hangs on the wall and it's easy to order. My daughter ordered their cheese quesadilla and I the one with pineapple, meat, and more. If you want more flavor, use the salsas on the counter. Some are spicy! My wife enjoyed their al pastor tacos, though the filling was generous causing the tacos to fall apart.

Taco spot located in the Union market district. Minimal decor for the fast causal spot. Service was quick but the tacos unfortunately lacked flavor and the tortillas were tough and dry. We had the shrimp tacos and asada. The shrimp was overcooked and covered with an overwhelming amount of slaw. I should not that I tried previously and the tacos tasted better but it seems to be inconsistent.

Cool new spot! Very nice workers and ambiance for the size/location. Very solid selection of tacos. Had the shrimp, chorizo, al pastor, and carnitas. They all were delicious! Perfectly tender and the toppings were complimentary. The blue corn tortillas were also a nice touch. I love that this spot makes their own sauces in house and puts them on the side for you to serve yourself. As a sauce guy, I love this lol. Can't wait to try the breakfast tacos!

Pretty solid tacos. I'd give the suadero and carnitas a 4 out of 5, but the pastor might be a 4.5 or 5, as it's super flavorful. Also, the orange-colored creamy salsa is really freaking good.

Solid & tasty tacos and other fixings, but small portions for the prices. The staff was mostly nice but also seemed to mostly ignore me as a customer even though I ordered two rounds of food. Overall I'd say very similar experience to La Neta in Stockholm, but for twice the price. I wouldn't rush back.

Located in Union Market, Apapacho Taqueria offers breakfast tacos, tortas, quesadillas, chilaquiles, various tacos, and desserts. They also have beverages and frozen items to-go. We ordered: +Tacos de Mushrooms +Tacos de Chicken Milanesa +Tacos de Asada +Tacos de Baja Shrimp Staff were friendly!

Came to the opening day for lunch and I am coming back for dinner! Got 3 tacos: asada, shrimp, and sudadero and I can't decide which is my favorite because they were all delicious! Their Rosa de Jamaica y pure perfection, low in sweetness and slightly sour (in a good way). They also have the best arroz en leche I've ever had, and I have to say I make a pretty good arroz en leche myself! Staff are super friendly and welcoming. Just loved the place and wish them success!

He ido sólo en 4 ocaciones a comer tacos a este lugar y cada vez es una experiencia culinaria fabulosa, la comida siempre está muy rica y he tenido la suerte de ser atendida por un personal muy amable, normalmente es solo una persona para atender al cliente y efectuar la orden, luego te dan un papel con un número de la orden, la muchachita que me atendió siempre saluda muy amable y respetuosamente, sonríe demostrando calidez y da una atención acogedora. Sin embargo, mi esposo ha ido a este lugar en otras ocasiones ya que nuestros horarios casi nunca coinciden y me parecía raro que me contara una experiencia diferente, ojo, NO en cuanto a la comida, sino, en cuanto a la atención que recibió. Le dije que haga su propia review comentándolo pero no quiere hacerlo, entonces lo haré yo. Me comentó que las veces que ha ido a Apapacho la atención ha sido pobre, él es americano y dice no entender bien lo que el muchacho le decía me dice que el muchacho no saluda respetuosamente, habla muy rápido y lo hace sentir que quiere que el cliente ordene lo más rápido posible, mi esposo se siente presionado ya que el muchacho parece impaciente y siempre está muy serio que hasta pareciera estar enojado todo el tiempo. En cambio, yo jamás he tenido esa experiencia como dije al principio, he tenido la suerte de que la muchacha que me atiende es muy amable y cálida. Esta review es únicamente para destacar este punto en el tema de la atención, a veces una persona del equipo podría dar mala reputación a todo el equipo.

Delicioso!!! I got 3 tacos: shrimp, carnitas and steak!! The salsas were tasty, the tacos were plump and delicious!! I can't wait to go back!!

This is the first place in the DC area that I tasted and it actually reminded me of home somewhat. Although the prices are for sure up there. $4-7 for each taco, but it was pretty tasty. The vibes were kindve there. Music was nice and is in a nice little area. The workers however were not the nicest. But overall i would say 3.5 stars and rounded up to 4 just for the review. Maybe would come back.

I went to the restaurant at 9 am last Saturday because their website said that they opened at 9 am. When I arrived, I was told that they open at 11 am, which I see has been updated on their website. I went at noon on Sunday and ordered chilaquiles because they have a sign saying "chilaquiles" on their wall. I was told that they don't serve chilaquiles. So, I ordered al pastor tacos and was told they did not have any of those tacos. I ate somewhere else. Not sure if they are experiencing issues with their opening. I emailed the restaurant, but they never responded.

The first thing you notice at Apapacho is the amazing smell of corn. The place was clean, modern and looked upscale. But, the prices were really reasonable. And the tacos were really good. You get to dress your own taco with a choice of fresh hot sauces. The service was great, but the place wasn't at all crowded (Tuesday at 1 p.m.). I would keep this secret to myself, but I want them to stay in business. I thought my taco al pastor was fabulous and the cochinita is better than the one I make. Can't wait to try something new. The other thing you should know is that this place is in La Cosecha and there is three hour free parking under ground. Afterward you can pick up gourmet hand dipped chocolates at the nearby Arcay Chocolates. Yum!

Tacos were excellent! Homemade sauces that are out of this world....fresh and spicy! In the La Cosecha bldg.

Quick service, amazing tacos. Some of the best in the city. We had the asada, carnitas, cochinita, and campechano! Handmade tortillas are great.

Great food, fast and friendly service! Loved the Carnitas and Cochinita tacos. Will definitely be back to try the rest.
