★★★★☆ 4.0 E Scott Parks · Jan 2026

This was my first meal back in the U.S. after a year living in Italy, and as someone who genuinely misses good Mexican food, Acapulco was a very welcome return. The dining room feels old-school in the best way, comfortable, familiar, and clearly rooted in the neighborhood rather than chasing trends. The chips and salsa set the tone immediately: crisp chips and a salsa with real depth and heat, not watered down or forgettable. The chicken tamales were comforting and well-seasoned, with tender filling and a sauce that actually carried flavor. The beef burrito was generous and satisfying, the kind of plate that reminds you why this style of Mexican food is so missed when you live abroad. Nothing here is trying to be reinvented, and that’s exactly why it works. Solid, confident Mexican cooking

★★★★★ 5.0 Andy Serfes · Jan 2026

First time I came here was during a heatwave/blackout and they were the only place functioning in the whole neighborhood. The food, price, quality, service, and atmosphere is just incredible, simple, and authentic. They are always empty. I love their decor. Their food is generously portioned, fresh, and delicious. They do an excellent job of being attentive without hovering despite us typically being the only customers at any given moment. Its incompressible that they are not busy on the regular. It is a spacious and clean resutrant, the prices for the quality, location, and size are impressive, and there are not many other Mexican specific restaurants around. Their liquor license is also better than most local restaurants.

Good food good price. Lovely service and warm decor. Clean carpet very old school style. I got the seafood sopa verdes. For the price, it was good quality and filling. Happy to come back again.

★★★★★ 5.0 Nancy G · Sep 2025

Been eating here since the 80s (I think) and I love it. Simple mexican food basics in a laid back, no frills, calm and relaxed restaurant. Staff is always fantastic.
