Acapulco Cafe

I ordered the “taco salad” & “chicken molé” Tasted just like it looks. Chicken molé DRUMSTICK was undercooked & soggy. The corn chips for the taco salad were hard & greasy. Then the “half order” of the bean & cheese dip was maybe 3 bites of a tasteless bean dip, included with aforementioned greasy chips. Will not be back.

Ordered taco salad. Very disappointed. Always use to get a nice taco shell filled with beans, meat, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese and sour cream. Been going there for years. Today no taco shell, just chips with usual toppings. No qualcamole. Friends were also disappointed with their orders. Charged $1 for a small handful of onions ordered extra on their 2 tacos. Place is still very clean. Also had to pay for chips and salsa this time. So sad about the changes.

First, the chef here was only 1 year old when this restaurant first opened; she is now 52. So, do the math and any reviews less than 4 or 5 stars are not accurate. This is the only place I go to that makes a great beef enchilada. I mix it up with the refrained beans and Spanish rice and add their own home-made spicy salsa. Yum!

We got their Friday special (Beef Fajitas with rice and beans) which came with sautéed onions (no tomato, guacamole, lettuce or sour cream) for $10.50. The beef was a small portion and under-seasoned but fairly good with only two flour tortillas. We had to add salt and pepper for flavor. We also tried their Oreo Cake (on the special board for $3.75) which was very good. Will not plan to visit this restaurant again, but service was very good and we appreciated that. They did not take credit or debit cards (cash only).

I've been coming here for about 6 years and can say that I always have a great experience with yummy food. It's the cleanest restaurant in Hardee County and that is a plus! I enjoy all their Mexican and American dishes. Their hamburger and onion rings are delicious! And their quesadillas are the best I've had. It's a small town laid back family restaurant that you will get good food at and can bring friends sit and have a nice conversation. Bring cash, they don't take credit cards, but they keep their prices reasonable so I'm happy to remember my cash when I go.
