Reviews For Acapulco Mexican Restaurant

Walking into a restaurant and smelling fajitas and hearing mariachi music sets the tone to a great dinner. Add great service, Thank you Juan, and fantastic food with reasonable prices will keep us coming back. The chips are thin and the salsa is deliciously fresh. Nice chunks of onion and cilantro. There is no way we could have finished the gigantic plates we got, but I'm thrilled for the leftovers. Bathroom was extremely clean as well.

Great Authentic Mexican Food. I can't describe enough how good was the food. This is real Authentic Mexican Cuisine. It has huge menu, giant verity of meals to choose from. The Vibe of the place is like you are in Mexico, like a mini vacation... Loved it, my number one to go place for Mexican food. Oh yeah, forgot to mention that prices will surprise you. Thank you guys for great experience.

We tried Acapulco a few years ago, a few times. They would not have received this review. But now. New menu, new owners(I think?). Whatever it is, the food went from 1 star to 5! Great service, amazing food. Fresh, and everything you want in this style of Mexican food. If you haven’t gone in a while give it another shot!

Had dinner there last night with 2 friends. Our meals were delicious. The waitress was very attentive. We were seated at 6:40 but did not place our dinner order until 7 so we’re not able to order the happy hour appetizers. We were not rushed and it was very enjoyable to sit after eating and listen to the excellent lady singer. We will definitely go back to hear her sing again.

Went yesterday for Cinco de Mayo. I went 1/2 way between lunch hours and dinner and the place was still almost full. My food was excellent, my tequila was very good and my server Stephanie was outstanding. She was so personable, friendly, attentive and full of smiles. She was busy as can be, but always checked on me to see if I needed anything. Kudos to Acapulco's.
