Every time I’m on TDY, El Acapulco is my go-to spot. The food is consistently delicious, the service is quick and friendly, and the atmosphere feels like home. It does get very busy between 5–7 PM, so plan ahead—but it’s always worth the wait. Highly recommend for anyone in the area looking for authentic Mexican food and a reliable dining experience.

Service was good and place was clean but the food tasted like the chef was allergic to flavor. Everything we ordered was super dry and had zero flavor. The magaritas were pretty good but that’s the only saving grace.

Nice atmosphere, staff is friendly and helpful. Fresh guacamole is outstanding and it’s a very big bowl, definitely getting your money’s worth. Chicken wings were very flavorful. Taco fajita was good. Tamale wasn’t very tasty and was very dry and the shredded beef chimichanga was good.
Second visit: we were asked to order three separate times birria tacos, not impressed with the food or the service.

So this restaurant is one I've been to a few times...always liked it, never reviewed it. But yesterday, I went and they had added to their menu. It was more traditional Spanish items such as the potato and beef balls, empinadas, & other stuff I'm add in the pics. All the food was delicious!! The tomatillo sauce to pair with your meal is amazing. One of the top 2-3 I've vee eaten anywhere. Definitely recommend!!

We've been going here since they opened 11+ years ago, never had one complaint! Jimmy is one of the best waiters we've ever had throughout any restaurant :)
