Acapulco Taqueria is back. The spot for this blogger’s favorite Mexican cuisine has officially reopened at 1001 N MacDill Avenue. It took a brief hiatus much to the chagrin of so many in the Tampa community. The original location served both as a bodega and a taqueria. This family-owned shop features just a few folks in a small kitchen whipping up the top tacos in town right before your eyes.
Reddit threads previously speculated on the future of Acapulco. So when the taqueria began posting again in the fall of 2022, our appetites and hopes came back alive. Acapulco officially reopened to the public on November 8. Their sensational quesabirria, roast pork tostadas, and pescado Acapulco bowls need to be on your local foodie radar.

- Cecina (beefsteak) tacos
- Fajita tacos featuring steak marinated in pineapple juice and soy sauce

An array of Mexican candies, snacks and beers are available for purchase in the grocery area as well.
