What Anonym dislikes about Wapos:
My tamale was served with small ribbon sized pieces of the outer husk covered in sauce. Couldn’t eat it. It looked like they just sliced up the tamale whole without removing the husk and then poured extremely salty sauce over it, making it so those husk pieces had to be fished out from the sauce. The guacamole was mostly lettuce underneath and had little to no flavor at all.the place just doesn’t seem clean, bathroom... View all feedback.

Wow! I was pleasantly surprised by the delicious and authentic tacos at Wapos. There is nothing negative to say about our experience. We stumbled upon this place while in the area and we were hungry. It exceeded our expectations! I highly recommend checking out Wapos if you are in Boulder, passing through, or even making a special trip just to try their food. It is definitely worth it!

The dining experience was fantastic. The food and service were top-notch. Unfortunately, the Boulder location is temporarily closed due to a fire. I am eagerly looking forward to their reopening.

We always enjoy ourselves here. Margaritas are delish and the food is tasty. Love the eclectic environment here on the edge of town. Feels like a hidden secret.
