Acapulco

"Great Mexican food! Very cozy"

"Great locals place. The specialty margaritas are a real standout. The food is standard Mexican fare at reasonable prices. This is a place you go to hang out with friends. The best thing about Acapulco is the staff who always make you feel welcomed."

"I don't have a Mexican mom, but I guess having dinner at Acapulco would come close to having dinner at her home...good food, good portions in a place that looks like family home from the 70s, dim lighting and fixtures included. Complimentary Salsa and chips are fantastic. Chips are thin and fresh and the green roasted chile salsa is wonderful and addictive. Moving on to entrees, the chile verde is quite good, nice chunks of pork in a garlicky green chile sauce. Pair with their salsa and fresh tortillas....its very good The enchiladas are generously portioned. Also quite good. The fish tacos are terrific, especially if you drizzle some of their salsa on top. Tortillas are hand made. Some are thick. Some are thin. All are fresh and arrive piping hot Our waitress was friendly and didnt hesitate to refill our salsa and chips and checked on us. The food took a long time to arrive but no worries, conversation comes easy when you feel like you're eating at grandma's house. I think the husband runs the front and the bar, while his wife cooks. I could be completely wrong. But the kitchen might be short staffed. Hence the wait. They have a nice bar up front with a good selection of tequilas. And theres a decent sized court in the back for outside dining They have a small parking lot with about 10 spaces, but in all likelihood you'll have to park on the street. The clientele veers towards the older side, but it also tells you that the food is solid and the value is good. All in all, Acapulco is a neighborhood Mexican restaurant. Nothing fancy, prices are moderate, service is warm. They say go where the locals go. While Alameda maynot be a hotbed for Mexican food, i think Acapulco is a solid choice. I recommend it. We will return."

"I've been looking for an old school Mexican restaurant for about a year now and I'm so happy to have found Acapulco! I have the enchiladas cheese and chicken and they were amazing! Got chips and salsa for free which is very rare these days! The only downfall was my soda was $4 a wee bit overpriced. My server Isabella was absolutely amazing the atmosphere was wonderful. I highly recommend this restaurant!"

"Really good food and great service. My kids loved the rice ,beans and tacos. My husband and I loved the Chile verde and the Margaritas are delicious. Edited to add: The food is still delicious I had the same thing as always the Chile verde and my husband had the Mole enchiladas and my daughter had the quesadillas. Only bad thing was my plate is a $18 plate and I feel their plates lacks presentation and they don't offer you sour cream or anything to make it look presentable. In my opinion the cheaper taquerias make an effort to serve you something that looks better."
