Food was excellent as always. (we dine here 6-10 times a year). If you want 100% mecian food, try mexico. This is along the lines of what you find in new mexico or arizona, its the real deal with the rough edges smoothed over for the amerivan taste. Margaritas, bartender, and atmosphere in bar are laid back and excellent. Entire place is almost always busy. Very clean and in great neighborhood. Only "bad" thing is servers are usually polite students, or younger (although very nice and pretty) are clearly fairly new to our country(not in a bad way). Overall this is one of those little "hole in the wall" mexican restraunts you find, tell your friends and family about and hit several times a year as the mood hits. Only its clean, family friendly, and in a good part of town. Its not top shelf, its that great $20 bottle of wine you show up to the party with. The kind everyone loves and asks about, is it some 60 year old french ...... ....... No, but its the best you will find you can comfortsbly afford.

Its the worst dinner weve had since we moved here! We sent back the margarita because it tasted like Kool-aid - no alcohol at all! Then the coke was flat. My wifes nachos supreme was all mushy because it obviously sat out too long waiting to be served and the chicken had absolutely no flavor. I order three enchiladas, chicken, beef and cheese and two out of the three were cold along with the beans I ordered. While the waiter was a nice guy, the service overall was slow and after the margarita and coke challenge we just ate for the sake of eating dinner just so we could get out of the place!

My family and I bought a Groupon and decided to dine at Acapulco. The food was very good and the blood orange margarita tasty! When we checked out, we had an issue with redeeming the Groupon and to say the least, the way I handled it... It was not my finest moment. To their great credit, the server and the manager were polite and professional, let me "get it out" and made it work. Gentlemen, I took my frustration with Groupon out on you. Thank you for providing excellent customer service and handling the situation so professionally. Jim T.

First things first, get the house margarita. Theyare good, and they are cheap. The food is typical mexican fare, reasonable price. The two for twenty one deal is the best for us. I get the super burrito and tell them you want it wet, the thing is huge! I have never been able to eat it all in one sitting. You get free chips and pretty good salsa. I love their guacamole.We have always had great service, and they are always friendly. Make sure you see DJ at the bar, she is great!

Atmosphere was okay and our server Benita was excellent. Those are the only two decent things about our experience. The food was awful. Chicken is low quality and rubbery. Fajitas are $14 and ONLY come with grilled onions.... There are little to no Vegetarian options on the menu and absolutely nothing Vegan friendly. Their cheese quesadillas are $11.50... Will absolutely not be returning and I hope you save yourself, and your wallet, the trip.

Smells of intense cleaner when we walked In. Hostess seemed annoyed to be bothered and then we were seated in a back corner, with ripped sets and no menus. Every time someone opened the door, the smell of smoke poured in. Waitress was very nice, but that was the highlight. Food was mediocre..without even a garnish of lettuce or tomato on the plate. Ive tried it twice now and been underwhelmed. Time to move on.

Worst mexican weve ever had! We ordered chicken nacho cheese, it came out cold, the cheese was not even melted. The chips were stale. The chicken was so over cooked you couldnt chew it. The server was terrible, she never came back. We had to keep finding our server over and over again. No refill on drinks. We will never go back there. Thats not what I call mexican food.

Waiter messed up order completely! Place looked cool like they had great food! NOT THE CASE HERE! Chicken tacos horrible so bland. The Carnitos Platter is awful hardly no flavor and could be more tender. I basically paid $13 to eat beans cause thats all I ate on my plate. Lucky for us we just passing thru, never have to go there again lol.

Fantastic authentic food. Fast and friendly service. The cost of the food was cheap considering the quality. We will be repeat customers and will not hesitate to recommend this restaurant. Tortas are great. Shrimp Diablo has fantastic flavor. Could be spicier but thats not a complaint. Sopes are authentic. Great, great food.

Monday night is dollar night where a lot of menu items are only one dollar each. Tuesday night is taco Tuesday so each taco is one dollar. It is usually packed both nights but worth the wait. Great food but it can be a little slow on service as they are so busy and need more wait staff.

Cheap tacos, comparable to taco Bell. Service was abysmal, absolutely awful. Took about 20 minutes to take our order, an hour before we ate. Didnt get beverages until after our tacos. Never received silverware or napkins. Do not recommend unless you have a lot of patience.

The food is typical Ameri-Mex quasi-original garbage. It is totally over processed and is comparable to Two Senoritas in Sarasota. Our waitress put our tray on the ground to serve us. Needless to say we didnt eat there. No Buenos.

The food here is excellent I think its the best in Manatee county. I put it above Alvarezs, El Mocojetes, and El Sombreros. I dont order frozen drink just beer or sweet tea. Great all around place.

I like Mexican food and Acapulco is clean and their food is reasonable. The staff was good & the drinks are excellent. They dont fool you with ice and cramberry juice theyre REALLY good.

Honestly its terrible, and I love Mexican. Taco Bell like. I can make better Mexican in my own home. Keep waiting for something better to come in that spot.

They sat us at a dirty table. No music playing. Weird vibe. We walked out, never ordered. Too many good Mexican restaurants around here to go to instead.

Just ok. Pretty stock menu with only chicken and beef dishes. Nothing special, but people are nice. Frozen Margaritas are horrible.
