we had excellent service. We shared the Al Pastor Burrito. It was very tasty, the sauce was amazing and we were both full when leaving.

The food was good, hot, fresh, and had a really good amount of spice which is hard to find. The service was fast and everyone was so nice. The music they played was great, would love to come here at night and have a margarita and listen to the music.

Everything was really good. I loved the salsa. The enchiladas are good. I like a restaurant that seasons their chicken, otherwise itโ€™s bland. The chicken enchiladas were so yummy. Spicy but very good. My husband had a chicken burrito and he said it was good too. We will definitely be repeat customers.

This restaurant had the most delicious food! Not only was the food fresh and amazing, but the staff were super friendly, attentive and the plates were gorgeous. You can tell this restaurant pays attention to details with the colorful, fresh dishes, and my drink was always full. I highly recommend this wonderful, new restaurant! Keep up the great work, Wapos Cantina!

Tonight was our first time in. Very friendly staff, food was great too! We had the steak fajitas and the chili rellenos. The tortillas for the fajitas were gigantic but tasted good. The house margarita was nice. We dined with a 3 year old and she enjoyed the chicken nuggets.
