Actually horrible service. We sat down and ordered something that we thought was queso. When it came out, we brought it to the attention of our waiter and they got irritated and nasty. We explained we ordered the wrong product and it’s not queso and that we didn’t want it. Insanely rude staff who doesn’t know how to run a restaurant properly. Embarrassing. This place won’t last long.

I am not one to leave bad review. I have been to this restaurant several times as well as ordering in. When I went in tonight with my family. I was not allowed to use the restroom. Needless to say I will never be back again.
The little boy in the soccer uniform and my wife were imaginary I guess. Do not lie!!

I must say I was blown away by Yolpaqui Taqueria tonight!!! It was our first time here and it's going to be my new go to, for sure. Absolutely delicious food!!! For starters, I definitely recommend the steak nachos ? I got the Birria quesadilla and my boyfriend got the enchiladas, slamming!!! Couldn't wait 1 more second to dive in and completely forgot to take a picture, wish I didn't forget because even the presentation was impressive. The place itself is cozy, inviting & overall, just an very aesthetically pleasing atmosphere. Our server was amazing, very attentive & gave us great recommendations. 10/10, will recommend every time! Looking forward to going back already ?

Clowns!!! We waited to be seated only to be told 10 minutes later by the Waiter that we couldn’t stay because he had 3 call outs! Who says that! Never going there again!!

I would give five stars but there us one problem. On the menu it has some items priced inappropriately. I got the tostadas. It says it comes with 2. The price is listed as $7. That's per tostada. So it's really $14. They need to just put that price. I deduced it because when they came out they were huge. And delicious. But no way $7.
I heard another customer order them and let her know. She promptly changed her order and was thankful I'd let her know.
Reading through the other comments I get the impression that the owners aren't open to critical feedback and clearly don't understand standard pricing and other facets of running a small business. That said, the food was Top Notch. As a former Californian, I was taken back to there by the delicious and wonderful authenticity. Please, owners, take criticism as a way to make your place better. Be clear about pricing and treat the customers like they are your favorite family member.

Disgusting people. First of all they charge too much for one tiny taco then they get my order wrong. I ordered a shredded chicken with rice taco and after he already placed my order he tells me they can only put grilled chicken on the placero taco. Nasty people and overpriced food!

Put in an order and forgot to add elements to my burrito. They were nice enough to call me to add what I wanted. The food was delicious and they went out of their way to try to help me. Will order from them again.

I ordered 2 tacos today. One carne asada and the other called placero rice and shredded chicken. Only after I received my food, I come back and said this isn’t shredded chicken this is grilled chicken chunks . The man said “we don’t put shredded chicken on the placero taco” ok so then why did u take my order and pretended that’s what I was going to recieve? Than this nasty short lady comes out yelling at me telling me I ordered wrong! No! You took the order wrong. I also informed her that her tiny tacos are not worth $7 dollars each and she said she needs to pay the staff and it’s not my place to tell her what to charge. Lol okay no problem that’s why your restaurant was empty when I came in ! :)

We had dinner there for the first time this week. We came in about 25 minutes before they closed. They were nice enough to accommodate dine in. We ordered tacos, rice, and black beans. The tingas tacos and carne asada tacos were our favorites. You also can’t go wrong with the pastor and carnitas tacos. The best part was everything tasted fresh. Nothing tasted like it was made hours before. The meat on the tacos were seasoned perfectly. Highly recommend this place!
