   Another GREAT Sat night dinner at Acapulco/CM! From the moment that KC warmly greeted us to the FANTASTIC meals that charming Hector served us, it was A+! Despite being busy, the staff got the food our quickly and even the table-side Guac was SO fresh, my husband practically inhaled it! The Ceviche was freshly made and I had to slow down to savor the wonderful Cheese enchiladas and Beef Taco. Can't wait to return!

   Second visit. Love that they participate in the inKind app. Good is good with plenty of options for the whole family. We had family in town and they really enjoyed the food.

   Always love it here but it was very understaffed. Everything took long and server and busser were very busy.

   I love this place ! If you want good and beautifully priced Mexican food then this is it ! Their nachos are some of the best I’ve had and you can’t beat those 4 dollar margaritas during happy hour !!!!!

   Husband's Guac was excellent (per him!), and his ceviche was also excellent, but the service was uncharacteristically, so poor (Server only came to our table 3 times - including taking the order and delivering the order - that I had to FLAG him down to come anywhere NEAR our table. And, I'm betting that HE messed up w/the LONG WAIT for the food delivery because, my food (taco/ enchiladas) tasted overcooked/reheated as the ends of the cheese enchiladas were HARD - HARDER than the crunchy taco shell! We will return because we LOVE this restaurant and their food, but they need some additional "coaching" of one of their servers or it will ruin their reputation for high quality food and high quality service.

   Food was good as always. The service was very slow. They seemed to have enough servers, I'm not sure if we kept getting forgotten about or what? We were seated by the kitchen so we would end up asking whoever was going in to get us stuff (poor soul!)

   Absolutely delicious! Every dish was full of flavor and beautifully presented. From the moment we walked into Acapulco we were greeted with warmth by the incredible host Alejandra. Héctor, the manager, runs the restaurant with excellence service. He genuine care for the guests and provides an amazing experience. The Ambiance is very welcoming and charming. The entire staff was beyond amazing friendly, attentive, and always with a smile. This place is a true gem, and the team makes the experience unforgettable. Can't wait to come back! Highly recommend!
