Time Out says

Tacos Y Mas at Arapaho is the definition of dependable street-taco service: fast line, clear menu, salsa bar with range, and a staff that knows how to keep orders moving. Breakfast starts early, then the menu shifts into an all-day rhythm of tacos, burritos, tortas, quesadillas, bowls, and combo platters. Prices are posted plainly and the portions make quick work of a lunch break or a late run. The Street Taco Platter is a good read on the kitchen: three tacos with rice and beans, built on soft corn tortillas and handed over as soon as they clear the flat-top. If you want something bigger, the Burrito Combo adds a crispy taco on the side. Birria shows up as a platter with consomé when you want a richer route.

Signature tacos lean into house builds like pastor, barbacoa, bistec, pollo asado, and more. Seafood options rotate in with shrimp or fish, and there are breakfast tacos from open to close if you keep that schedule. Combos simplify decisions for groups, while a six-pack of street tacos is the office hero move when everyone is “fine with anything.” The salsa bar is part of the brand’s identity, with a range that moves from mild to dare-you heat, and the team encourages people to customize without slowing down the line.

The room is casual and bright with quick-serve seating. Most orders are dine-and-dash or takeout, though you will see families park a tray and split a platter. Late on weekends, hours stretch well past dinner, which makes this location a reliable stop after games or shifts. Service stays steady and the kitchen keeps output consistent through the rush.

If you are new, start with pastor or barbacoa on corn, add the Street Taco Platter for the rice-and-beans comfort, then test the hotter salsas on a second pass. If you are not new, you already have a favorite and a preferred salsa mix, and that familiarity is exactly why the Arapaho shop keeps regulars.
