I came here on a Thursday evening. It wasn't too busy inside. I ordered the chips and guacamole. The guacamole tasted very fresh and I could tell it was made to order. I also ordered the fiesta fajita, which came with grilled shrimp, grilled steak and grilled chicken. I really enjoy it. I'm not typically a chicken fan, but this grilled chicken was really juicy and flavorful, as was the steak and shrimp. They do not serve alcohol but have a nice assortment of fresh made drinks to choose from. I tried the hibiscus. It was really tasty and refreshing. I'd come back again for this exact meal.

Since moving to Staten Island I have to say the quality of many restaurants goes down- then one day I see a new Mexican spot, I say lets give it a try and wow! Yolpaqui is amazing- pure deliciousness! At this point I have had almost everything on the menu- however Ill point out the burrito and the chimichangas are incredible and my most favorite is their special quinoa salad- its really something special. Looking forward to seeing this woman write cook books- just top notch food!

I really liked this place! Can definitely see this as my go-to for Mexican food. Portions are good for the price, great food. The street corn is a MUST!! Left a lasting taste in my mouth 5/5 Birria tacos. Just great. I liked the taco shell. 4.5/5 Guac & chips. Good portion of guac. Came with 3 of their other sauces. 4/5 Carnitas quesadilla. Good portion. 4/5 Just a few tables for seating but we had no problem for a party of 4. I saw a table or two outdoors too. Great service & our server was very nice. I will definitely be back!

I brought my family tonight, I'm doing a Staten Island farewell tour To begin at the height of Covid I was working long hours and I lived near by so I would put my order in and they would come out with my bag, I said to the woman One day one day it will be normal again and I'll eat inside fast forward ( I'm moving a family member out now ( I moved 2 years ago ) so I deemed this my farewell tour and I had the luxury of sitting inside And the food where so I even start Beautiful just beautiful that's all I kept saying I had a lovely waitress who was all smiles Thank you for making it through the roughest years !! We LOVE YOUR FOOD

They're usually busy and for some reason when you order on grubhub there always seems to be issues. Not sure if it's grubhubs end of the restaurant. However, if you order in person directly from them they are usually quick and have no issues. I like the fish tacos here and the carne asada nachos is always my go to. They give a good portion and the meat is seasoned well.
